Mayor Smith, or GrOtOn, ap-
pears from an article in the
Aberdeen Daily News last week
to be greatly worked up because
man who came from that town
last week with indications of hav-
ing had the smallpox, was re-
turned. 1t looks very much as
if the Groton authorities had at
tempted to foist this man upon
Milbank for the simple reason
that he had lived here for short
time last year. He never had
any home here and had not been
in the town for several months
until he came down from Groton,
after having been examined by a
doctor there. While the break
ing out on the man may have
been caused by other reasons
than smallpox, the fact of his be.
ing broken out before he left
Groton and that he was sick and
had consulted a doctor at the
time and before coming here
looks very much as if some one
up the line was endeavoring tC
play sharp. The man should
certainly have been detained al
Groton, and his case investigat
ed. The mans name is W. G.
Ingamells, and he worked in the
harness shop of G. A. Kerr
when here previously. HI
claimed to be canvassing for IN
surance lately.

Hall a Crop in Greene.

Jefferson, Aug. 1.-The Bee of today

sad condition there.
be said, conservatively, that Greene
county will have a half crop of corn,
IL weather during the next six weeks
is anything like favorable. On the
basis of cash value, should we have
half crop, the farmer will have lost
practically nothing as corn will I'M
doubtedly be worth nearly twice as
much as last year. OF course for feed
ing purposes there will be a loss, as
bushel of % cent corn will put just
as much beef on steer as bushel of
so cent corn. However, cattle, altho
slightly lower at present. will be much
higher Cattle are lower just now be-
cause Kansas and Nebraska and Mis-
souri, farmers, with cornfields burned
up beyond hope. are rushing their stock
to market. and the effect is of course
| to bear the market. However, this will
not last long, the Kansas, Nebraska and
Missouri cattle will be absorbed, or
such portion of the cattle as the farm
ers are compelled to dispose Of, and
then will come the reaction. Corn be-
| ing high cattle must be correspondingly
high, SO that the Greene county farmer
who has cattle will be able to secure
a price high enough later to compen-
safe in a large degree for the loss In
4 bushels of corn.

Falls woman has received an offer to
accompany Gilmore's band on an inter-

tribute to the woman's artistic voice.
which she has been training for several
years in the musical ;centers of Europe.
She is remembered here as the wife
Of DR.. j. H. Jackson a dispenser OF
high power remedies. who later located
at Oskaloosa for the practice of his
profession. Mrs. Jackson had a strong
voice and had studied under the lead
ing instructors Of thisscountry and aft
er leaving here went abroad to train
her voice and study for the stage. She
returned to this country last year and
has been heard in the east and is re-
ported to have captivated the musical
critics. Her reported engagement to
appear with Gilmore's band next sea-
son is not much of "a surprise to her
host of friends in this city, who had
implicit faith in the future OF her Won

A Broken Heart.

I should like to narrate the following,
which is mostly true: Some years ago 1
was playing in golf match in India
(Bangalore versus Madras) when hawk
suddenly swooped down on my ball and
carried. it off in its claws. appealed to
my adversary to allow me to drop anoth-
er ball. but he was one of our canny
brethren and replied. "Eh. no, man; lost
ball. lost hole" This did not admit Of
argument. Some weeks afterward
went for walk before breakfast, and,
climbing rocky eminence to see the
view. came across hawks nest and
by it dead hawk and in the nest my
golf ball. Both the hawk and the ball
were quite warm. sent the hawk to
the curator of the museum and asked
for post norton. His verdict was "a
broken heart" and on my telling him the
story he had no doubt that the poor bird
had expired in its vain effort to hatch
out my ''silvertown." Globe.

SCENES FAMOUS IN HISTORY.
Courthouse where Patrick Henry
Made His Speech still standing.

The scene Of Patrick Henry's great
speech on the stamp act is one of the
most charming little buildings in Ameri-
ca. the old courthouse ut Williamsburg.
Va, which was designed by Sir Christie
.pher Wren. the architect Of st. Paul's
cathedral and other OF the most famous
public edi6ces OF England, says writer
In the Chicago Herald. 1t stands today
In an excellent state Of preservation and
looks very small compared with the ordi-
nary county courthouse of modern Amer
lea: but. unlike many Of them. 1t Is q
chaste and symmetrical example of ar
chitecture, beautiful in its simplicity.
The room in which the. house Of bur-
gesses met on that memorable occasion
is unchanged and is still used for judi
cial purposes. Every Saturday morning
justice Of the peace occupies the bench
and imposes fines upon the petty Offend
ers. mostly negroes. who are brought be-
fore him. The remainder OF the build
ing, which is of a single story. furnishes
quarters for the county clerk. county
treasurer and other local officials
1t is an interesting historical fact that
Patrick Henry wrote his famous resolu-
tons upon the Hy leaf Of Thomas Jeffer-
sons volume Of "Coke's Commentary
Upon Littleton," and it was from JEFF
ferson's modest chamber that this brief
less barrister went to the little court
house in May. 1765, to deliver the speech
against taxation without representation
which made him the most famous man OF
the hour and us notorious in England
as he was popular in the American colo
MES.
jefferson and Henry met few years
before at the house of Mr.. cambridge. the
father of Martha Washington, where
they spent several pleasant days together
and began friendship that lasted until
political differences divided them toward
the end Of their lives. When Henry came
| frequently to Williamsburg, he shared
Jefferson's bed for the lack Of money to
pay a hotel bill. and thus their intimacy
continued.

INDIAN HOUSEKEEPING.
a Sioux Girl,s story OF How Her
TriloswomenL Live.


TfibosWOmenL Live.
am going to tell you something about
the uneducated Sioux women, their dress
and their home life. The Sioux woman
does more work than the man does. OF
course, the women do not know very
muck. about housekeeping. In fact, they
don't know anything about it. They live
in log cabins, with only the ground for
the floor, and they have but one room.
In that room they have their beds in one
corner, their trunks around the sides,
and they often have beautiful beadwork
hanging on the walls. They have large
stove as near the center of the room as
they can. On that stove you will always
find coffeepot and teakettle, and they
are always kept full. II the women have
coffee to drink, they are happy. They
think it is q great medicine; they call it
the black medicine.
In the summer the Indian women do
most of their cooking out of doors. They
put short poles on each side Of their fire
and a third stick across from one to the
other, and on this they hang their kettle.
The women when at home are almost al-
ways sitting in their tEpee doing some
kind Of beadwork.
The women are always getting up
some kind Of fenst-that is, they have
them very often-and especially il one Of
\ their sons or daughters gets married they
will spend their last cent to make great
feast. They have certain man 90
around and tell every one to come to TINT
feast whenever it may be; then when he
has come back and told them that he has
told every one the women give him q
horse. When they have the feast, the
women all dress up in their brightest
colors, paint their faces and put all the
beadwork they can on their little chill
4 dren. They have great time talking,
especially the old women and men.
/ The women's dresses are made with
only two seams. one on each side. so II
makes very loose dress. 1t is short in
! the back and front and long on the sides
and they almost always wear long
beaded belt and shawl. In fact. they
wear shawl all the time. When it ii
not around the head and shoulders. it II
tied around the waist. They never weal
hat of any kind. Even on the hotties
days they are Observation-Disclosures Girl il
