employers found out that we were or
ganizing some OF the Oldest workers

throughout their generations. Strong
drink perverts the judgment, destroys
the moral sense and leads TO all kinds
OF sin. Christ has sanctitied the daily
life and invested 1t with a divine dig
nifty. Every day should be filled with
service for him. God has made us
kings and priests and our every day
life should be az pure and consecrated
to his service as were those who served
at the altar. 1t is OF the

PRUNING TREES,
Prof. N. E. Hansen Gives Some Good
Advice.


Pruning is best done when the pro-
cess of healing is taking place. This
means the latter part of June and the
first few days of July. An eastern
man accustomed TO pruning fruit
trees in his old home should keep his
knife in his pocket when he goes into
a South Dakota orchard, or, at least,
TO use the smallest blade. Cutting off
large limbs to let the sun into the top
as practiced in the eastern states,
would be unwise here, because il is
necessary to keep the TOP rather thick
to keep the sun out and prevent SUM-
scald and other troubles. All inter-
fering limbs should be removed and
in young trees forks should be re-
moved, that is, one Of the linn bs should
be cut off where the main top divides
into two forks. This will prevent a
splitting down of the top later on.
Where a wound Of any size must be
made, it should be covered with COM
mon lead paint. This is in keeping
with the modern idea of surgery, that
germs cause decay and death should
be prevented from obtaining entrance
TO wounds 1t is far better than kill
ing the germs after they obtain en-
tain entrance. One is aseptic and the
other antiseptic surgery.

TYPHOID FROM MELTED ICE.
Cause of a Case OF Fever in the Brown
County JAIL

One of the United States prisoners
in the Brown county jsil serving a
sentence for the Illegal sale of liquor
is sick with typhoid fever. THE sani-
tary conditions OF the Jail are of the
best and physicians were at loss to
account for the disease until close in
vestigation developed the origin. The
prisoners in the Jail have an ice water
tank to which they gain access at any
time when not locked in the cells for
the night. The water is cooled by ice
placed in tight can and set into the
drinking water in the tank 1t was
found that the man now sick with the
fever, as well as some others, instead
Of drawing the wholesome water from
the faucet of the tank would open
the can on the inside and use the
water from the melted ice. A sample
Of the water from the ice was taken
by the doctors and bacilli culture
test applied to it. The typhoid germs
showed strong and there is no longer
any doubt about the origin of the dis
ease in the case named. None OF the
other prisoners who drank water from
the melted ice have 80 far been
affected.
Physicians say that all persons
should be careful about the use Of ice
In tea or otherwise and particularly
careful not to take into the stomach
any water from melted ice.-A berdeen

WITH THE RED MEN.
They Will Make Some Heap Big Chiefs
on Aug. 18th.

Preparations for the Red Men Clam
Bake and Barbecue to be held at
Yankton, August l4th, go merrily on
and each days developments add to
the sum total of red letter enjoyment
billed for all who will be present.
Each sun also contributes to the num-
ber OF "big Injuns' who have prom
ised to attend. The Beresford tribe
write that they will have special car
and bring their band, and several
other lodges will do the same. Excur-
sion rates have been secured on all
roads and every one Of them on the
big day will leave only to Yankton.
At home Gray Eagle Tribe are out
doing the proverbial prodigality of In
dians in their'preparations. CLANS and
roast beef galore have been secured to
grace the feast for visitors, while those
of the true blood are arranging to
gorge on holiday soup Of dog, old beef,
sheep shanks and other rare delicacies
or the hunters camp. They will
bring their drinking cups with them
and the pipe of peace will also pass
about among the chiefs. A lively
bout with gloves, between two light
weight masters of the manly art, tug
of war, gorgeous parades, etc, will
fill the day, that can be spared from
ea ing and drinking, as full to reple-
tion as will be these who will watch
the sports.
Above and beyond all this, In fact,
strictly in secret. it is limited that
few ''heap big chiefs" will be made on
that occasion. This is special cere-
mony but it is now claimed that 1t be
given in public on this occasion just
as it used always to be by the Black
feet Indians, (the most warlike OF Am
ican tribes) when their medicine men
wished to chose their greatest war
chiefs. In the supposition that the
ceremony will be public we take the
chances and give brief outline of the
old custom. The candidates are
stripped to the waist and two long
parallel gashes are cut in each breast
about an inch apart. These gashes
extend through the skin and buck
skin thong is is run through under
each strip. Those thongs are united
to light rope at distance of about
two feet from the breasts and the rope
is attached to the top of pole about
fifteen feet high. Each brave is given
about twenty-five feet of rope and all
are attached ia circle about the pole.
The idea is to dance, rear and plunge
until the strips of skin are broken and
the Indian who can succeed in this
attempt and not faint at the torture
he induces Is voted worthy to be a
chief. AS the skin IN that part Of the
body Is elastic and tough the punish
ment each man endures in his efforts
to free himself is not slight. II the
ceremony is pulled off as is now antic-
ipated there Is no question as to the
interest it will awaken Yankton Ga
zette.

Morton of the Santa Fe railroad have
arrived at San Francisco on their tour

in an interview that an advance of
rates was not unlikely. He anticipated
no serious trouble with the company's
employees. Vice President Morton said
that the Santa Fe has no plans for
new construction work in California,
and will probably not undertake to
build any branches or feeders or en-
large its mileage in California for
some time to come, on account of the
enormous expenditures which it was
compelled to make and is now making
for the improvement of its terminals.

THERE'S U IN IT.
SAINT Fe-Rock Island Deal for Joint
Use or New MEXICO Tracks.

Reports that there is a deal pending
between the Santa Fe and the Rock
Island regarding the joint use of GER
tain tracks in New Mexico were con-
frmed Tuesday at Chicago by an Off
cial of n of the roads. He stated,
however, that nothing had come of the
negotiations and that possibly nothing
of a definite character would result.
Should an agreement be reached, how
ever, the result is likely to give the
Rock Island a Pacific outlet by the
way of the new line building northwest
from Tucumcari to Colorado, where a
connection would be made with the
Santa Fe. On the other hand the
Santa Fe would get valuable conces-
sions which would shorten some of it's
lines into the southwest. On both sides
the proposed agreement would abro-
gate the necessity of building several
lines according to present plans.
