Fuller with his wife was in Mil
bank over Sunday the guest of
their son, the states attorney.
Judge Fuller was on his way to
his old home in Faulk county.
The management of the Mil
bank library and free reading
room association haye secured
some very fine attractions to be
given during the winter months,
and the first of these, "The AL
mond bury Bell Ringers" will
be given at the opera house
December 1st.
The drama "Thelma,' given
at the opera house Tuesday eve
ming was handsomely presented,
many of those present declaring
that it was one of the best plays
that has been seen at the opera
house for some time, notwith-
standing the company were un-
able to use their scenery.
Albert McLane and wife re-
turned home last Saturday from
a trip to Washington, near where
they have daughter and other
friends located. 1t had been
many years since Mr.. McLane
had been there and he says that
during that time great changes
have taken place. He has a
sister living at Falls Church,
Va, which is but short dis
tance from Washington and he
made purchase of a home in that
vicinity and will remove there
next year.

Scandal i'm the Mission

Slsseton. >. d., Nov. "a
sensation was sprung here by
the arrest of Sister Alosia, man
ager OF ST. Andrews mission or
convent, charged with inhuman
treatment OF children in her
charge. The institution is one
mile from this city and is a
huge, three-story granite build
ing. Twenty-four children,
ranging in age from mere
babies to II years, were kept
in its somber walls. Until to-
day, when the sheriff entered
the place to serve the warrant,
no outsider had ever seen the
inner rooms where the children
were practically entombed.
A frightful state of things was
found to exist. The children
were huddled about a rude board
table eating a meal of boiled
potatoes and water. They were
ragged and dirty and their
bodies were emaciated from
lack of food. Most of them are
and have been taken
in charge by county authorities
and will probably be transferred
to a more reputable institution.
Some have relatives who are
paying for their care and school
ing and were deserving of better

no legal right to any of the
orphans in her charge. She had
given some of these to Indian
families, where they are being
reared after the manner and

under $500 bonds to appaer in
Judge Prindiville's court. The

Last Tuesday again demon
strated that the people of the
country have confidence in the
republican party and the prin-
ciples it represents, and they
are not yet ready for the rest
which democracy always pro
vides for the industries of the
country.
In our own state and county
the battle was decisive the
state rolled up a big majority
for the republicans, and the
county doing it's full share in
this work.
Being an "off" year it was
impossible to get out a full vote,
but the republican majorities
were more than maintained in
the lighter vote, being as large
as they were two years ago with
twice as large vote cast.
On the local ticket the dem
Ocrats concentrated their fight
on w. F. Rabbit, the candidate
for clerk of courts, his opponent,
Henry Martens, being considered
particularly strong candidate,
but Mr.. Martens only succeeded
in carrying a few of the pre-
cincts in the county by small
majorities, Mr.. Rabbit carrying
the county by about 25O majority
The legislative candidates or

supposed Bank Robbers.

A Sisseton dispatch of the
Sd inst. says: After a chase
extending across Minnesota,
through Iowa, and back again
into Minnesota through South
Dakota and into North Dakota,
two of the three men accused
of robbing a bank at Summit,
S. D., have been arrested and
are now in Jail here.
The third member of the gang
succeeded in covering up his
track, and is supposed to have
been implicated in bank rob-
berry near DesMoines a few days
ago.
The two men arrested have
been iden tilted as those seen in
a buggy at Summit on the morn
ing of the robbery, and as hav-
ing been seen the next day driv
ing with all possible haste toward
tie Minnesota line.
The buggy in which they are
said to have made their escape
was found at a small railway
station near the Dakota line
where it had evidently beer
abandoned.
1t was stolen from an nipple
ment dealer of Summit.

SUICIDE At HOUR SET
Alarm Clock Provided, So
That He Might Die
on Time.

MARION, IND, October 23.-(Special.)-
George W. Parsons, prosperous farmer
of this county, committed suicide at 4
o'clock this morning, by hanging, having
spent the last night of his life on a large
dry-goods box with an alarm clock at his
head, to warn him when the hour came
for death. An hour and a half later his
dead body was found dangling from the
ropes end by his wife. On the ground
beneath the tree were the overturned box.
and the alarm clock, with it's hands point
ing to the hour of 4.
Parsons was arrested and put in Jail
in the little town of Converse. He was
released Sunday and by that time he had
formed the determination that death was
the only proper end to the disgrace of
having been arrested and jailed.
He attired himself in his best suit of
clothes yesterday morning. came to Ma
rlon. and settled all OF his accounts AT
supper he refused to eat anything, say
ing he had already eaten his last meal on
earth. He told his daughter, Kate, who
is Is years of age. that he intended to
hang himself this morning. at 4 o'clock,
and told her his body would be found
hanging from an apple tree near. the
house. The discovery of the body, box,
and clock. and other incidents of the sui
eide. show that Parsons carried each one
of his plans into effect.
