BenwOod Workers Make Merry
At Blue Ribbon Hall, in Benwood,
last night, there was very pleasant
meeting of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton, largely of a social nature. Brief
impromptu addresses we're made, songs
were sung, Rotations rendered, and
everyone enjoyed themselves thor
oughly.
All the mill-workers were in very
happy frame of mind as a result of the
news from the West as to the Bay View
mills, and the assurance that Chicago
will be in line with them early this
week. possibly today. said some Of the
officials.
Over fifty new members were taken
in yesterday at Benwood. Every idle

a Bashful Swain.

The following story of a bash
full swain is printed by the Lowry
City Independent. We are glad it
did not happen to II Mexico young
man, but if any of the boys can
beat it we would like to hear from
them:
y Young man not long since
went to visit Il fair maiden and
spent the evening very pleasantly
in her company. When it came
time for him to leave and go to the
hotel he realized that Il heavy storm
was raging. He had no umbrella
or rubber coat, and when the girl $
father asked him to remain at the
house until morning he readily
consented. He is very bashful
young man and the next morning
when he was invited to seat mt
the table very reluctantly accepted.
He was very nervous and agitated.
He sat opposite Il mirror and dis
covered that he had forgotten to
comb his hair. Then he dropped
his fork on the floor and us he
stopped to pick it up he upset his
coffee. Matters went from bad to
worse until in despair the young
man quit eating and put his hands
under the table. The loose end of
the table cloth was lying in his lap
and when he touched it he turned
pale. He thought it was his shirt
and III his nervous excitement while
dressing he had forgotten to put
the garment inside his trousers.
That accounted for the smiles and
starcs of the family and his cmbar-
assment. There was no time to
lose. He hurriedly stuffed the
shirt inside his trousers.
Two minutes later when the family
arose from the table there was II
crash. The dishes lay in IL broken
mass on the floor. The young
man pulled three feet of table cloth
out of his pants aud fled thru the
door. The young lady has beau
now who is not quite 50 nervous.

The Agricultural Department at
Washington is to make II deter
mined attack upon the American
field mouse. His determination
in certain localities has been re-
solved upon and the Philippine
bumblebce is to be brought into
service as the eXecutioncr.
This was the statement mabc by
Professor G. II. Riley of the de
partment of the division of en-
tomology, who will devote year
III the Philippines to the study of
bugs and insects of the archipcla.

blcbcc of the Philippines will he
one of the main objects of his in
quiry. 1t is planned to import the
big bee of the Philippines into the
United States that he may make
war upon the American field
mouse, rodent which has caused
the farmers of the country loss
of thousands of dollars.
ut is an old saying among far
mers." said Professor Riley, THAT
when there is plenty of clover
there are lots of bumblebecs.
What the farmer really means is
that when there are lots of bum
blebees there is plenty of clover.
He might carry his logic further
by saying that when field mice are
scarce there are plenty of humble
bees, and that when there are
plenty of eats there are few field
mice.
Yin order to save the clover
crops of the country the Agricult-
ural Department has the choice of
two things, to increase the number
of eats i'll the country, which will
destroy the field mouse, or to take
away from the rodent his supply
of winter food. Either method, if
successful, would result in n gain
of thousands of dollars to the far
mers. The field mouse is very
fond of bumblebee honey and new
er loses an opportunity to deprive
the insect of the rewards of his
work. The honey taken away
FROM the bumblcbce causes him to
perish in the winter time. Hence
Il short clover crop, for the bum
blebce is carrier of pollen from
one clover plant to another. Thus
when there are lots of bumhlebccs
clover comes to perfection. If
the field mouse has destroyed the
bumblebee there is no insect that
can do its work in the summer
time and the farmers lose accord !
ingly This is not only true of
clover but many other plants.
WE hold that the bumblebce is
valuable member of insect socic-
ty and that the field mouse is a
worthless scamp who likes Il good |
dinner but does not want to work
for it,
1.-THE Philippine bumblebee is
an entirely different insect from
his American cousin. He is fully
an inch and half long and looks
like small bird. He is full of
business and has no fear of such
small animal as the field mouse
He is harmless fellow when let
alone, but his sting is deadly to
smaller forms of animal life. He
will fight for his own with te-
nacity of pugilst and any UNI
scrupulous field mouse invading
his domain will have to fight for
everything he gets,

Special to The Journal.

Sioux Falls, S. D., April 2.-The most IN
teresting case to be tried during the regu-
lar April term of the United States court.
which convened here to-day, is that
against Red Ears, Sioux Indian belong
ing on the Cheyenne River reservation,
who is accused of having murdered an In
dian baby, said 10 have been the child of
himself and an Indian woman named
White Cow. The alleged crime was COM
mitted on the night Of Oct. 8, 1900.
The case will attract more than or
dlnary interest, for the reason that it is
the first instance of infanticide among In
dians of South Dakota for many years
A federal grand jury at Deadwood indicted
Red Ears for the crime. When aFraigned
he pleaded not guilty and declined the Of
fer Of Judge Garland to furnish him an at
Torney at government expense. Red Ears
evidently viewed the customary offer with
suspicion, for he has himself engaged
Ralph W. Parliman an attorney of this
city, to conduct the defense.
Another case Of unusual interest Is that
against Gideon Dashman. He is charged
with raising United States postal money
order from $4.89 to SASS. Dashman was
attending the government Indian school
at Flandreau when the alleged crime was
committed. Becoming aware that the
federal authorities would likely arrest
him, he fed to Minnesota, but was cap
tured by the United States authorities Of
that state near Eggleston, where he had
hired out and was engaged in cutting tim
ber.
The people Of western South Dakota will
watch with keen interest the termination
OF the cases against Frank NJ. Hurlbut
Thomas Rodgers and George Turner, of
Hill City. They are charged with tres
passing upon government land and cutting
and removing timber from the Black Hills
forest reserve. 1t is said that most Of the
pilfered timber was sold in Deadwood as
cordwood. The fact that it was sold at
prices below the regular market figure
seriously affecting the business Of the
regular dealers, who had an investigation
made which resulted in the arrest Of the
three men by a deputy marshal
William Crook, of Egan, who conducts a
saloon at that place, is under bonds for ap-
pearance before the federal grand jury,
which also convened to-day, on the charge
of selling liquor to Edward Taylor, Sioux
Indian belonging at the Flandreau sub
agency.
