The saHages would have their way,

building contained about $50 tons of coal,
which was consumed One earaWas also

mated at $4,000. The water tank adjacent

Iowa,s Pure Food Laws. /.

DIES MONIES, To-, Dec. 26.-Dairy Com
missioner Norton will take active meas
ures against milk dealers using preserVa-
tives and authorizations of different kinds.
The commissioner has imposed upon him
the duty Of enforcing the provisions of
the code against adulteration. For some
time he has been practically, powerless
to proceed against milk dealers violat-
ing the law, as the Polk county district
court had held the law demonstrations al
Now that the supreme court has upheld
the law. in it's recent decision, lie is
put fairly upon his feet. Tests are to
be made of a large number of samples
of milk, whether they are complained of
or not. In case boracic acid or any other
substances calculated to preserve the
milk but to corrode the organs of the
consumer are discovered, prosecutions
will follow. The commissioner looks upon
Des Moines as the home and center Of
the boracic acid malpractice In many
other towns, it is said, there is an eX-
tensive use of formaldehyde preparations.
Any thorough series of analyses is eX-
pected to uncover many abuses.

Handsome Elk at 1t Again.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Dec. 26.-News
mas reached the city from the Brule Ind
ian agency that Handsome Elk, the most
dangerous and desperate redskin of the
Northwest, beat his squaw in a brutal
and feroGlouS manner with a neckyoke.
1t is thought the squaw will die. Elk
then seized another Indian woman, Bear
Birds daughter, and scalped her. Then,
arming himself with his rifle and other
firearms, he went into the hills, short
distance from his home, and left word
that friend or foe must not approach
him.
ELK is known among the Indians to have
bad heart; he is also the best shot
on the reservation and is feared among
his tribe. Some years ago he shot down
and killed an Indian in his own lodge. He
was tried for the crime, but succeeded
in being cleared: About five years ago
he wounded two Indian police who under
took to arrest him. He then armed him
self and evaded the officers for some
time, but finally gave up his arms and
surrendered. For his crime he was con-
victed and served a year in state prs5n.

The Women Who Wait.

He went to the war In the morning,
The roll OF the drums could be heard
But he paused at the gate with his mother,
For kiss and comforting word,
He was full of the dreams and ambitions
That youth is so ready to weave,
Ard proud Of the clank OF his sabre
And the chevrons OF gold on mis- sleeve.
He came from the war in the evening,
The meadows were sprinkled with snow,
The drums and the bugles we're silent
And the steps OF the soldiers were slow.
He was wrapped in the flag of his country
When they laid him away in the mold,
With the glittering bars of the captain
Replacing the chevrons OF gold.
With the heroes who sleep on the hillside,
He lies with a flag at his head,
But, blind with the years Of her weeping.
His mother yet mourns for her dead.
The soldiers who fall in the battle
May feel but moment of pain,
But the women who wait in the homestead
Bear forever the wounds of the slain.

Detroit July 1S.-President III. B.
Ledyard, of the Michigan Central rail-
road, In a recent mail from China,
received long letter from his daugh-
ter Maud, Baroness Won Ketteler whose
husband, the German minister, was
murdered by Boxers while riding from
the legation to the tsung-li-yafnen In
Peking. The position Of the Baroness
ven Ketteler herself in the beleaguered
foreign settlement of the Chinese city,
even in case Of the falsity of the per-
sistent reports of the massacre of the
whole foreign element there, Is at the
present time perilous in the extreme.
Written Before the Tragedy.
The letter was evidently written be-
fore the situation assumed an alarm
ing aspect, as it has no word Of ap-
prehensiOn and describes cheerfully q
number of incidents which have &C.
Cured In the foreign colony recently.
The particular event described in the
letter Is an audience which was grant
ed by the dowager empress to the
Baroness Won Ketteler and the other
ladies Of the legations. The treat
ment accorded the wives of the min
listers at that time, according to the
Baroness Won Ketteler, bellies the in
situation that the dowager empress
was in sympathy with the Boxer move
ment, for the courtesies extended by
her to the foreign ladies were most
extraordinary.
Spent the Day with the Dowager.
The ladies were invited to the i'm.
perial palace to spend an entire day,
during which Baroness Won Ketteler
saw the dowager and the emperor in
person. The entertainment provided
included two formal feasts in the
palace and performance in the dow
ayers private theatre.

May Have TO Pay Heavily for Neglect In
Investigation.


Lansing, Mich, July 1S.-Circuit
Judge West has handed down a de-
cision releasing Mrs. Viola G. Moffett,
Of Detroit, from liability to assess
ment on thirty-one shares Of stock of
the defunct Ingham County Savings
bank stock, on which Receiver May
levied an assessment of Go per cent
Before this bank suspended payment,
Mrs. Moffett traded this stock to Mrs.
Henrietta =. Graham, of Detroit, in
part payment for the residence the
Moffetts now occupy on Peterboro
street.
After the bank became insolvent
Mrs. Graham instituted proceedings to
recover possession Of the real estate,
charging Mrs. MOffett with fraud and
misrepresentation. When the assess
ment Of Go per cent. was levied upon
the stockholders Of the bank, Receiver
May commenced suit to determine
which Of the women was liable to the
assessment. Mrs. Moffett demurred
TO the bill, and Judge West sustained
her demurrer, thus holding Mrs. Ora
ham liable.
