TOOK CLEANING PREPARATION,
A POISON, FOR MEDICINE.
Mable Chase Almost Dies from the
EffectS--She Made Mistake
in the Night.

Miss Mable Chase, who lives with her
sister, Mrs. G. F. Seigle, on South
Fourth street, took poison by mistake
last Sunday night and since then she
has been in very bad condition, al
though she will recover. Miss Chase
has been a sufferer for some time from
something like cramps and has been
taking a medicine.
Some time during Sunday night she
got up to take a dose of the medicine
when she got the wrong bottle. She had
been cleaning some clothing that day
with preparation that contained chloro-
form, gasoline and carbolic acid and left
it near the bottle containing the medi-
cine. In reaching for the medicine she
picked up the preparation" About
four O'Clock in the morning Mr.. Seigle
woke up and heard grooming in her
room. He went in and found her in an
almost unconscious condition. Medical
aid was summoned, restorative measures
adopted and in a short time she was
conscious. She is now slowly but surely
recovering.

WILLIAM |. LEMON
APPOINTED POSTMASTER.
Name Sent to the Senate on Monday
Created General Surprise
Coming so Soon.

In the Seattle Times Of Monday under
%, is the announcement of the appoint
ment of William l.. Lemon as postmast-
er of North Yakima to succeed Mrs. NJ.
E. Sperry, who succeeded her husband.
The news apparently came as sur
prise to everybody, even the appointee
being unaware that it would be made 20
soon. The friends of Mrs. Sperry were
equally surprised, for they fully expect
ed her to be retained till next March
Even Col. Robertson was not on the
inside and was taken by surprise, as is
evidenced by an editorial that appeared
in his paper last week, telling just how
the situation clay" And no one was
more shocked, as it were, than all those
who said Congressman Jones could not
make such an appointment and keep
his equilibrium.
That Mr.. Lemon has been appointed,
there is no question, but Just when he
will assume charge of the office cannot
be said at present. He has not been
notified of his appointment, and he does
not know whether his commission will
date from July or from next March.
Mrs. Sperry had been assured that she
should hold the office for two years, or
till next March. Hence the reason for
surprise on the part OF her friends. It
is the opinion of some that she will hold
over till March, but those familiar with
the inside workings of the Republican
machine think different.
Now. that there is no question as to
who will be the next postmaster, unless
the appointment is held up in the sen
ate, the query is often put, "Who will be
the assistant" Mr.. Lemon says he does
not know. Mrs. Sperry's friends say
| that Fred Chambers head will fall lille
some others seem to think the assistant
will be a gray horse.
Any how, Mr.. Lemons appointment
no doubt will give general satisfaction,
and he is to be congratulated.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1902-06-24

be the least trouble in raising the 500, 00C
necessary. And feel certain it can be
done. Just so soon as / am satisfied
your people can carry out these promises
actual work on the line will be com
lnenced."
GLOW about the power? Will it be
steam or electricity"
"Steam at first, but electricity even
tually. 1t is cheaper to make the line
for steam. The line will be constructed
ana steam will be used until the power
plants are built and the wires put up
for running the trains The power will
be generated at Horse Shoe Bend on the
Natchez, and will be conducted down
the valley by wire. At the lower end
there will be another plant. Already
we have appropriated water for the pur-
pose, and will work on the plant just as
soon as possible after work has COM
menced on the line"
Mr.. Mcknight has been spending his
own money in making the surveys, and
so certain does he feel that the road will
be built that he will keep the force at
work a longer time than he at first
antici pated. For the last week A. j.
Splawn has been working along the
proposed route on the matter of rights
of-way. He finds the people generally
in favor of the scheme, and many of
them are doing all they can to assist the
thing along.
Insofar as the people of this city are
concerned they will do their part toward
raising the necessary funds. The matter
is now being taken up and will be
pushed as rapidly as possible. Things
are now in such shape that the Com
mercial club may be expected to take
definite action at its next regular
meeting.

ris, started on the long drive to
Mitchell, arriving here at S O'Clock
Tuesday morning. He made arrange
ments at once for taking the body of
his son to his home near Harrison
and the funeral services were held
there Wednesday,.
1t was very sad accident indeed,
for the young man was very much
respected by his many friends. He
had lately come to Mitchell to work
in the grocery store, having been at
Yankton for some little time. About
two years ago he was student in
Yankton college and at that time was
injured on the head. He was prac-
ticing in the gymnasium of the col
lege one day when he fell from the
.trapeze bar and Tito his head. Ever
since then he has complained some
what with having pains in that part.

TRAMP KILLED BRAKEMAN.
Fred Powell, a Milwaukee Brake
man, Stabbed by a Negro Who
Was Stealing a Ride

Toe tramp element is growing
worse as indicated by murder that
was committed below Sioux City
Saturday on the Milwaukee road.
There was gang of tramps coming
into Sioux CiJy from the south and
at a small station the brakeman, Fred
Powell, had some words with negro
on the train. The coon drew a dag
ger and stabbed Powell just below
the breast bone, inf1icting a bad
wound. The brakeman managed to
get back to the caboose and laid
down on the cushions. In ten min
utes he died. The .tramps were all
placed under arrest when the train
arrived at Sioux City. A white.man
among them pointed out the murder
er in the crowd. as the coon ad-
mitted to him that he had some
trouble with the brakeman.
Mr.. Powell was well known in.this
city among the railroad men and
some years ago was a fireman on the
Iowa g. Dakota diviison. His moth
er resides at Sanborn.
This is the third time within a
short space that railroad man has
been made to suffer as a result of the
collision with tramps.

SCHOOL CENSUS LARGER
There are Hundred More School
Children in Mitchell than one
Year Ago.

Clerk Wallace, of the board of ed
ucation, states that there has been
an increase of one hundred school
children in this city since. he took
tie census a year ago. The number
reaches zoos at the present time, and
this does not include the students at
the university Heretofore they have
been counted in the school census,
inasmuch as they have used their
right Of franchise IN this city at
practically all Of the elections held.
Under ruling of the attorney gener-
al of the state it was held that the
| students were not properly residents
of the city and should not be counted
in the census.
The population Of the city can
undetermined somewhat from this on
the basis of multiplying the school
census by five, which IS done quite
generally by cities. This would give
Mitchell population TO 5000 people,
and it is confidently believed that
the figures are not far removed from
the actual number OF pepole.
Mitchells apportionment of the
school fund from the state for the
first half Of the year will reach the
sum Of So, 2,119.34 and this sum has
been paid over to Treasurer Dawson.
At the end of another six months
another apportionment will be
made and if it reaches the same per-
centage that the second apportion-
ment did last year the total amount
will run over $4,000 for this year.
This amount of money goes long
way to help meet the expenses Of con-
Quoting the schools of the city,
which have constantly increased as
the city grew larger. At the present
time the salary list of the schools, in
Guiding teachers and janitors runs up
to 81 900 per month, and there are a
good many running expenses besides.
Mr.. Wallace states at the present
time there is about $500 in the
treasury, with no outstanding war
rants.

IF WAY LAND SELLS
Good Prices are Being Realized for
Land in this County and
Buyers are Ready

Money invested in Dawson county
land is bringing good results these
days and men who have the land to
sell are not having the least trouble
to dispose of it at prices that seem to
be entirely satisfactory to both parties
interested. An instance Of the re-
suit Of land deal in Perry town,
ship is given to show how land will
rise in value in the course of short
period of time.
Two months ago j. H. Marks, of
Fennimore, Wis, bought the Reed
! farm Of 400 acres in Perry township
for $26 per acre, and it was occupied
by Mr.. Dempsey as a tenant. About
two weeks ago Mr.. Dempsey bought
the same piece Of land and paid S35.
/. per acre for 1T. bringing Mr.. Marks
very fair profit. Mr.. Dempsey held
the land twoWeeks and a few days ago
sold.it for $40 per acre. That is not
a bad investment for period Of less
than three months MI. Marks today
completed the purchase of quarter
section 8 miles east of town for
which he paid S23. so per acre.
! VIM. Crook of Pipestone, MINI. is
in the city and is making a few in
yestments in lands in this county.
He has just brought half section of
land in Beulah township, which he
considers some extra good real estate
Mr.. Crooks said that near Pipestone
he had 400 acres in wheat which was
not to be compared with a 80 acre
tract Of the same cereal on his
Beulah investment He re-
garded this section as an exceedingly
fine grain country.
Carl Anderson. Of St. James, Mimi.
bought a quarter section Of Harker
Bros. that lays miles southeast Of
Mitchell, for which he paid S21 per
acre. tis practically raw quarter.

Sheep Grazing Permits.

A decided change has been made in the method of handling applica- tions for sheep grazing permits the coming year.
 Last year the division of range and number of sheep each owner was allowed to graze were decided upon by the Wool Growers asso- citation, with a reservation that the interior department could readjust same if it saw fit. By an order of the honorable secretary of the in- terior, dated October 24th, 1902, the Wool Growers associations are now eliminated from the matter of allotments and other control, and the grazing is placed directly in the hands of the forest supervisors, un- der the same rules as heretofore existing imposing the same penal ties and obligations as last year.
 When the sheep grazing question is settled for 1903. and the super visor has been advised of the num- Der of sheep to be admitted, appli- cations should be submitted to him direct.
 It is expected, however, that sheepmen will use good judgment in making their applications, so as to cover range which they have certain rights to and avoid con fiicts with their neighbors, as we'll as in the necessary reduction of sheep to keep within the limited number set for each reserve or division.
 Sheepmen should see that their are sent in as early as possible that they may be acted upon, for no sheep will be allowed to come onto the reserves, until they have been granted a permit, and if they are kept out because owners have failed to make appli- cation in time, no one is to blame but themselves.
