tory and of North and South Dakota,

Peter Honnenger of Pomona met
with a peculiar accident. He occa-
sionally walks in his sleep, and, on the
night in question got out of bed and
must have made the movement with
considerable force. for he went through
a large glass and then ran some dis
lance before he was noticed and finally
caught by Robert Sullivan. He was
still asleep when caught, though his
ankle was so badly cut by the broken
glass as TO require several stitches.
Receiver Edgerton, of the Yankton
Savings Bank, which was wrecked last
December by the defalcation of County
Treasurer Peterson, has declared a 20
per cent payment. As all the real
estate of the bank is still unsold, the
defunct bank bids fair to make at least
a so per cent payment TO all creditors.

HOWARD's HANDSOME GIFT.
$4,000 to the Building Fund of q
Childrens Home.

-
Childrens' Home.
The Childrens' Home in Sioux Falls
has been advised that G. X. Howard,
formerly resident OF that city, now
cattleman on the Sheyenne river and
president Of the Western South Dakota
Stockmens' association, has contribut.
ed the sum Of 5000 toward the fund
now being raised for the purpose OF
building new home for the institu-
ton. This liberal action on the part of
Mr.. Howard is the sequel of an incl
dent which occurred couple Of years
ago while Supt. Sherrard. of the home.
was travelling in the western part of
the state. While driving along he was
accosted by stranger, who asked him
many questions about the home, its
work and the good it was doing among
the frienGless children Of the state.
The matter apparently made a deep
impression on the mind Of Mr.. Howard,
for the stranger" was he, which has
now eliminated in the donation of the
handsome sum stated.

Quick Arrow Shooting.

The Maya Indians have acquired ex.
traordinary deXterity with the bow and
arrow, which, with the spear, is their
only weapon. though the boys before
they are strong enough to draw the
bow often use a sling made from a
strip of rawhide, with which they kill
squirrels and small birds. The bows
are about five feet long, made of a
thin, tough strip of cuhoon palm, well
seasoned. The arrows are usually car
ried in tiger skin culver and can be
used with marvellous rapidity, as the
following incident will show:
a chief of the Lacondones of nv ac-
quaintance named Canek had been ON
bad terms with his father-in-law for
some time. one morning while hunt
ing in the bush he espied the old man

Occasion Of Much Anxiety to All.
Every woman breads the ordeal
through which she must pass in becom-
ing mother. The pain and suffering
which is in store for her is a source OF
constant anxiety, fear and dread. to
say nothing of the danger which the
coming incident entails. The JOYOUS
anticipations with which she looks for.
ward TO baby's coming gives way to an
indescribable dread of the ordeal when
she fully realizes the critical and trying
event which will soon approach and
have to be endured.
Women should hail with delight a
remedy which insures to them inn
munity from the pain, suffering. and
danger incidental to Collaborating.
Such a remedy is now offered, and
women need not fear longer the hour of
childbirth. "Mother's Friendn-is a
scientific liniment-and il used before
confinement, gently and surely prepares
the body for the great requirements
and changes it is undergoing, insures
safety to both mother and child, and

woman who has used it.
What woman il not interested in
"Mother's Friend?" This wonderful
remedy has been tested and its price,

thousands of happy mothers who
have used it during the most critical
period of woman's life-the approach

for it gave them help and hope in
their most trying hour and when
most needed. Every woman may some
day need Mothers Friend. ," The
