ALONE AND WITHOUT MONEY.
An Unfortunate Woman Meets With Ad-
verse Circumstances In Her Travels.

An Unfortunate Woman Meets With Ad-
Early in the week q lady arrived in:
the city and was unable to proceed
any farther on account of the lack of
funds. She gave her name as Mrs.
Maude Lester and her residence as
Tampa, Florida. She stated that
several months ago her husband died
at that place and with the means left
at her command she took her four
children and started for the home other
relatives in Montana. She met with
much misfortune on the way, having
been robbed at Des Moines, Iowa, of
her tnon.y and railroad ticket. Three
ot her children were taken sick with
diphtheria and died on the way and
when she arrived in Mitchell she was
without friends. She was taken care
of by the authorities for several days
and finally started on her long journey.
On Wednesday she started to walk out
OF town and when she got about mile
out of town Milwaukee brakeman dis
covered her and persuaded her TO re-
turn to the city until some arrange
ments could be made to send her away,
inasmuch as she was in some danger
OF being thrown in the company with
the tramps who were travelling in the
same direction. Friday afternoon
several people interested themselves in
her case and succeeded in collecting
about Sl6 and she was sent north on
the Milwaukee. One of the parties
who helped the lady in her needs stated
that at Aberdeen it was very likely
some arrangements would be made to
carry her through to her destination in
Montana.

Tramps Are Numerous.

Another inssallment of tramps arriv
ed from the south last Thursday and q
number of them made a trip over town
10 the quest of food. One of the fellows
called at house and made himself al
together too fresh in his demands for
something to eat. Several ladies have
been complaining of the too frequent
visits of these fellows and when they
are accompanied by demand for food
in threatening manner they feel that
they ought to be guarded somewhat
from the tramps.

THROW OPEN YOUR HOMES

What the People Must Do 10 Care for
the Convention Delegates.
From present Indications the forth
coming republican convention to be
held in this city August "a will be the
most largely attended convention the
party has seen in this state, The num-
ber Of delegates and alternates wholwill
attend the sessions of the convention
number in the neighborhood OF eight
hundred persons and there will un-
doubtedly be from four to five hundred
more who will be in attendance as in
terested spectators. The hotels will
not likely be able to accommodate more
than six hundred people 80 that the
citizens of Mitchell will have to open
their doors in order THAT our visitors
and guests will have accommod ations
while here. Monday morning CANVASS
ers in behalf of the committee, having
the convention in charge, went the
rounds and secured list of names o.
those who will be able to accommodate
+
one or more persons during the conven-
tion week, in respect to being able to
accommodate for sleeping and eating or
both. 1t is expected that charge will
be made the same as by the hotels and
that excellent accommodations will be
offered our visitors, 30 shat when they
leave they will carry away only the
highest opinion of our ability to enter
tain. A few families may be diffident
about caring for visitors during the
week of the convention but every citi-
zen should look upon the matter in the
light of a duty and assist the
committee 80 that every visitor coming
from other points in the state will be
able to secure first class sleeping anG
eating accommodations.

Example Was Made of Persons Who Were
in q Hurry TO XIII Prairie Chickens.
Nearly every fall, just before the
chicken season opens, 9 sharp lookout
has been kept for parties who had any
intention of evading the law in respect
to killing prairie chickens before the
middle OF August. That this has been
done frequently in years past has made
the officers little more wary in look
ing after abuses of the law. A few
days ago petition was circulated
among the hunters in this town asking
them to use every means to prevent the
killing of chickens before the season
opened. The paper was generously
signed by those who engage in the pas
time and it was presumed that there
would be but little, if any, violation of
the law 80 far as the hunters of Mitch
ell were concerned. However, an i'm
preston prevailed Sunday morning,
among the people who were interested
in seeing the law was observed, and
they sent out two young men who kept
tab on theparties who, it was presumed,
were going to violate the law.
Early in the morning Messrs. Dick
Smith and Ted Wedehase and Peter
Burns and Thos. Fullerton, in two sep
arate parties, drove south Of town and
we're followed by the deputies, Ernest
Gregory and Ben Helwig. Arriving at
point about miles south the parties
came togeti er and covey of chickens
flew up, and, as the deputies claim, two
birds dropped to the ground as the re-
suit of the shots. One Of the birds was
picked up by one of the hunters and
carried to house near by and was
thrown under reaper, which was seen
! by the deputies as they arrived at the
house.. Just who shot the bird was q
conundrum, as the deputies were too far
away to see and it was not determined
until Monday morning when the matter
was brought before States Attorney
| Winsor. At that time Fred Wedehase
stated that the bird was in his possess
sion, and he went before Judge Abbey
and pleaded guilty and was fined $40,
at the same time declaring it was not
he who killed the bird, although it
was in his possession. Just who killed
the chicken was not determined from
the fact the gentlemen were not arrest
ed and had no trial, which would have
been the means OF bringing out q great
deal of information which is now in
doubt. 1t seemed to be the aim to
catch Mr.. Fullerton but he declared to
the editor that he was in no manner
connected with the affair, and that he
did not get out OF his buggy.
1t is hoped that this will be a lessor
to others who have any aspirations te
hunt before the law is out and tha
they will not permit themselves to be
associated in any way with the viola
ton of the law. There are no extenu
ating circumstances for man to hun
chickens before the law is up and il
the present case it is not the province
of THE REPUBLICAN to censure any
/. body, for it has not been determined il
court who the guilty parties are, and j
r seems to be q matter of veracity betwee
, the parties who were more or less cor
8 nected with the affair. The paymen
a of the fine, however, would iEdicat
. that there was some guilt attached t
. the transaction.

Many tales are told of the circumstances that led to the marriage of Josephine to AleXandre de Beauharnais. But after all, it was purely a marriage of convenience and turned out in the end more happily than most of them.
 Josephines history from her marriage with Beauharnais to her death in the 53rd year of her age is that of the history of France Through all those years of storm and stress she never forgot her dearly be- loved Martinique where, looking across the shining waters of Fort de France bay stands one of the most beautiful statues of modern times erected in the memory of
 it's most famous woman.
 When our ships sail up Fort de France bay they can see Josephine looking down at them and should the war be carried beyond it's present limits they might, per- haps, be compelled to fire upon this lovely image But now, Josephine. calm and beautiful, stands at the bay to guard the waters and the romance of Martinique.

THE SOLDIERS
 OF AMERICA

From the London Daily Mail
 The American army is not an ornamental institution. The rank and file would not fetch fancy prices as works of art. You may see hundreds of them walking about on the wooden platform sidewalks of Key West. They wear brown-laced leggins, like their officers; rough blue serge trousers, generally the worse for wear; loose serge shifts of a shade darker blue, and soft felt, broad-brimmed, gray slouch hats, with narrow, pinched up fore and aft dent in the crown. They remind you of the men who do the rough work in the circus-hard-faced men, with square jaws and prowlng eyes. They smoke necessarily; there is reason to suspect that they chew good deal; in con- versation they necessarily invoke, a. holy name, and every time they invoke it's they spit. But their average height is feet 8 inches or 5 feet g inches, and every man looks an athlete. Afoot they go with great swinging strides; mounted they sit in their saddles as if they had been born there. Physically they are as fine soldiers as one could wish to see@every mana picture pt

that Josephine departed for the convent of the '-Dames de la Providence" at Fort Royal where she remained for five years and then returned to the home of her par ents.
 She had by this time borne out the prom ise of her youth and was indeed La Belle Creole" On the island of Martinique her beauty was unquestioned And some news of this extended over seas to France where her aunt, Madame Renaudine resided, and who insisted that her beautiful niece should pay her visit. Josephine gave no evidence of a desire to accede to her aunt's wishes for it was not until a year later that she set sail for the shores of that country over which she was to rule with a grace and dignity, the memory of which is un- dmmed by time.

 Josephine's parents were descended on her fathers side from the French family of Tascher, the first of whom had settled on Martinique in 1726; and on her mothers from the Creole family of Sannois from whom their estate took its name. Jose phines father was a lieutenant in the French service, but he retired at the age of 27 to live thereafter the life of planter broken only by such struggles as are known to the pursuit of that avocation in the trop-

For two recent weeks the interest of the world has been centered on the Island of Martinique at this end of the 18th century much as the Island held the attention of the world one hundred years ago.
 But with this difference. Our interest in that most beautiful of the Caribbean Isles is due to it's connection with the move ments of the American and Spanish fleets; while at the end of the 18th century, Ve- nus was the ruling deity, not Mars; and Martinique won undying lustre from hav- ing been the birthplace of Josephine Tasch- CT de La Pagerie, known in after years as the wife of Napoleon, as Josephine, Em- press of the French.
 It is a singular coincidence that the life of the Empress Josephine, whose name

And not only did the sound of the guns bring joy to the hearts of Josephine's parents for their country's sake, but mainly for the reason that now indeed was their child a true daughter of France.

 This destruction told heavily on her father who from that hour was changed man. The loss he suffered was great enough to prevent his ever rebuilding the old home.

 In the vitally important evolution of sa- luting an officer the American soldier, as I have seen a dozen times a day with my own eyes, is very far from perfect. Some times in the street, when an officer passes him, the huge, slouch-hatted fellow will take no notice at all.
