Shaping Rural Mail Boxes.

deep enough to hold a rolling
pin." was the insistent demand OF
women living along rural free mail
route in Illinois when the selection of
mail boxes was recently considered.
And in the deep, narrow receptacles
clinging to gate or tree in front of
the houses in the Chicago suburb is
evidenced the potency of woman's
voice. The selection of the regula-
ton shallow boxes was vetoed by
the women, who united in the demand
that the new boxes be deep and large
enough to hold The Ladies' Home
Journal without further folding. and
that they be proof against rain or
snow. The women OF other rural
communities enjoying the free-mail
delivery boon have gained similar
victories, bringing to a magazine
the unique distinction OF uncon.
sciously fixing the shape OF the mail
receptacles that are to be used in the
suburban secti ons.

The trial Of State vs Henry Strick-
Ter occurred Tuesday before Justice
Miller. States Attorney Christ ap-
peared for the prosecution and
Judge Pusey for the defense. Alarge
number of witnesses were examined,
and the testimony developed the fact
that there appeared no motive or
intent to iniure any one on either
side. The complaint or charge OF
assault to do great bodily harm was
dismissed by the court, and defend
ant arraigned upon the modified
charge OF assault and battery, which
brings it within the jurisdiction OF a
Justice court, to be tried Friday.
When the testimony was heard and
the case understood, it was general
ly conceded that the stabbing OF
Willie Tamblyn was accidental, as
the crowd of bows were trying to
rope Stricken for perhaps a little
rough fun. The established fact
that he took h is pocket knife out to
cut the rope, and did cut it. is ac-
copied az proof that there was no in
tent to injure any one. AS the Press
said at the time such occurr ences
are unfortunate, and young folks
should be very careful to avoid
things that lead tosuch results. The
proper spirit now to display
among those interested is to be
charitable. and avoid i'll feeling over
the mat ter.

Modern Vaccination.

Flandreau Herald: A physician
in this town, in whom the confidence
Of our people cannot be shaken,
speaking OF vaccination, says that
when the people in general under
stand the modern methods OF vac
cination they will not fear the ordeal
as they have from their past exper-
fences. The old ivory point, the
malignant ulcers, the fever and in
tense sore arms are only a memory
now. The virus now used by most
physicians is in small tubes hermeti-
cally sealed; one tube serving for
each individual. There is no deten-
ton from school for children, or from
business for adults. Only the char
acteristic vescicle showing a tew DAYS
after vaccination and a very small
pit follows insteadof the fearful scars
by the old methods. When this is
generally understood there is no
reason why the people should not
protect themselves, their families,
the community from such disasters
as have fallen on Minnehaha county
and half dozen communities Just
across the border i'm Iowa.

The week preceding Christmas was
a very busy one in Miller, the town
being well filed each day with people
buying goods. After Christmas
there was sudden let up to BUSH
ness for day or two as people re-
covered from the unusual activity.
An illustration OF this may be given
in the postoffice work. Christm as
night it required ten sacks to bring
in the East mail On Tuesday night
it could have been carried in perhaps
two sacks, or three at most.

TO SEND EXHIBITS TO PARIS.
G. A. Dewey will Represent Kenosha on
the Board of Commissioners.

c. A. Dewey received notice this
morning that he has been appointed as
the representative of the Commission
ers of the Paris Exposition in this city
and has been instructed to at once ar
range to send display from this city
to the big fair. With Mr.. Dewey at
the head of the affair in Kenosha there
is no doubt but that the city will be
properly represented. He will begin
at once to collect and tabu1ate state
ments of Kenosha and her industries.
A small space will be assigned the city
in the department of industries and
other space will be given in the Edu-
cationa1 exhibit of the United States.
A large number of pictures of the vari-
Gus industrial interests in Kenosha, to-
gether with views of the principal
points of interest about the city will
be forwarded at once to the Commits
sioners, and later the children of the
public schools may be given the privi-
1ege to send an exhibit of their work to
the Exposition. Many Kenosha peo-
pie are arranging to visit the fair and
it is to be hoped that Commissioner
Dewey will see to it that they find the
city properly represented.

Seriously Injured.

M. O. Myrick, of the town of Paris,
was badly injured in a runaway acct
dent on last Saturday. He had been
driving and had stopped for some pt1r-
pose when the horse became frightened
at passing object and started to run.
The lines were lying in the bottom Of
the buggy and as Mr.! Myrick was
reaching for them he was drawn in
and wedged between the bull wheel
and the seat of the vehicle. When the
horses were finally stopped it was seen
that Mr.. Myrick was badly injured and
it required some force to extricate him
from his position between the wheel
and the seat. The wheel cut through
his clothes and into the flesh to the hiI
bone. No bones were broken and his
complete recovery is only question OF
time. DR.. Stevens was called to attend
him.

FOUND HIM GUILTY,
Jury in the Anderson Case Find the De-
PENDANT Guilty but Recommend Mercy

jury II the ANDERSON case E1nQ Gne De-
fendant Guilty but Recommend Mercy
After wrestling with the evidence
for over thirty hours the jury in the
case of the State VS.. Anderson finally
arrived at verdict shortly after 5
O'Clock Saturday evening. The verdict
announced that the defendant was
guilty of assault with intent to COM
nit rape. The jury recommended that
the prisoner be given the smallest
sentence possible for the crime. The
case attracted a great deal of attention
and when the jury failed to agree on a
verdict in a short time this. interest
was greatly increased. AS soon as it
was announced that the jury had
reached an agreement large crowd
gathered at the court house. One of
the jurors on speaking of the case this
morning stated that it had required a
long time for the jury to arrive at
verdict on account of the fact that one
man held out for absolute acquitta1
while a second desired to find the de-
fendant guilty of rape. No sentence
has as yet been passed on Anderson,
but it is thought that he will be sent
to the state prison for a year.

that the addition of the stand pipe to
the system would not only greatly in

plant, but it would also reduce the
strain on the city pumps. No action
can be taken on the matter at the pres
ent time, as the board is financially
embarrassed.
