Recovered His Team.

Ted Haber has recovered his team
that was stolen from his farm on the
night of July 2sth, and returned with
them Tuesday evening from Benson,
Minn. The thieves perpetrated an
other theft at Benson which was the
means Of recovering the team and
will probably result in their capture
also. They stole $50 pounds Of butter
from a creamery during the night
loading it into the wagon and driving
away. The next morning when it
was discovered that a quantity Of but
ter had been stolen, diligent search
was instituted by the losers and re-
suited In the finding of the team,
wagon and all, In q thick clump of
timber about ten miles from the
creamery. In endeavoring to allude
successful tracking the thieves drove
a distance of twenty-five miles in a
round about way. In all probability
the thieves were hidden near the
team, bat the pursuers either lacked
courage or were satisfied in regaining
their stolen butter, so the thieves es-
capped. 1t is thought that they will
be captured.
Mr.. Haber says that one Of the
horses was overheated and seriously
injured. The side boards of the
wagon were thrown away as was the
end gate. Mr.. Haber is Of course for

was the most brilliant ever witnessed
In this section. A strong wind pre-
vailed, driving the rain in torrents,
and when the storm was most severe
the wind changed suddenly to the
northwest. Nearly everybody was
awakened from their peaceful slum-
bers and there was great fear that
there might be repetition of the de-
struction which occurred last summer.

Mrs. stevens, Of Maine.


At the South Dakota state w. G.
T. u. convention to be held in Brook
ings the first four days Of September,
we shall have the pleasure of meeting
three OF the national officers: Mrs.
Lillian NJ. N. Stevens, national presi-
dent Of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union; Miss Anna A. Gordon,
for more tnan twenty years Miss
Frances Willard's private secretary
and now president-at-large of the
national union; and Miss Clara Mont
gomery Parrish, the seventh Of the
round-the-world w. G. r. u. mission
aries and general national secretary
Of the Y's, or the young woman's
branch OF the w. G. T. U.
We leave with reluctance the last
two, the very mention of whose names
is so inspiring, and Of whom we will
tell later, to recall to memory few
events in Mrs. Stevens notable
career.
Mrs. Stevens being national presi-
dent OF the W. c. T. u, is OF marked
executive ability, of more than ordi-
nary talent as public speaker and
writer, and Of an uncommonly gentle
and lovable nature. else she could not
SO hold, to say nothing of winning the
allegiance of so large a body and so
powerful as the National Woman's
Christian Temperance union has be-
come.
Miss Willard greatly admired and
loved Mrs. Stevens and before Miss
Wizards death for some years she
was vice-president-at-large OF the ma
tional and acting president much os
the time, Miss Willard being abroad
so much and far from strong for
years.
Mrs. Stevens, then. holding a posi-
tion OF such dignity aud necessitating
such combination OF greatness, good
ness and womanly charm, needs moth
ing more to be told Of her to indicate
the privilege It is to have her In our
town for four days, and one Of these
the Sabbath, when 1t Is expected she
will in the morning, at mass meet
ing in the Baptist church, deliver the
annual w. G. T. U. sermon.
We will, however, add to this that
Mrs. Stevens Is now serving her
twenty third year as state president
OF the Maine w. C. T. u, and that
without dissenting vote In all the
twenty-three years.
Pages could not tell of Mrs. Stevens
valiant work for prohibition as the
faithful ally of Neal Dow In that
great and successful battle; OF the
fame she won for herself as organizer
and agitator, scarcely second to Neal
Dow's own; visiting and speaking In
every county and nearly every large
town. herculean task In that pine
tree state; of her tireless zeal In great
philanthropies and holding important
Offices In these and other organiza-
tions; of her tenderness and compass
sion for the homeless and destitute,
evinced In deeds as well as words,
within the last fifteen years nineteen
children having at different times had
home with her, two at the present
time being in her household. These
children rise up and call her blesse1,s

REMAINS
OF Miss Edna Reifsnider Brought to
Akron.

The remains of Miss Edna Reifsnider
arrived in Akron Wednesday and were
at once taken to Glendale cemetery and
placed in the vault. Miss Reifsnider
was well known in this city where she
resided until three years ago when her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Reif-
snider, removed To Chicago She was
II years of age, unusually bright and
loved by all who knew her. She was in
Akron week ago. After returning
to Chicago she was attacked by ty-
phoid fever. This was followed by
brain trouble which resulted in her
death. 1t is probable that the inter-
ment of the remains will be postponed
for some time as the mother OF the
deceased is seriously i'll.
