A Courageous Woman.


Mrs. Charles Evtrts OF Salisbury, gave
an exhibition of nerve one morning last
week which has rarely been equalled in
that vicinity. She was shelling corn with
corn Smelling machine, IN the barn at
her home, which is about half mile
north OF the village. Finally, in putting
cob of corn into the machine, the tore
hnger of her right hand got into the cogs
N such a manner that she could not
eXtrlcate it. The cogs held her finger so
lightly that the pressure soon became
very painful, but she waited and called
Tor help for fully an hour. At last, despair

endure the pressure of the machine she
literally tore the finger off at the second

the Country.
WATER COURSES FULL
Franklin Cattle Company Lost Heavier
on Nebraska Feed Ranches Than
They Did on Their Open
Range.

Deadwood, S. D., April 21.-One OF
has just visited South Dakota. Start
Ing with a terrific thunder storm, the
first of the season for the northern
Black Hills, it gradually resolved it.
self to a steady downpour, which last
ed over twenty-four hours, without a
break. All the water courses are run
ming bank full, and but for the fact that
snow fell instead of rain in the re-
gions Of greater elevation, floods would
undoubtedly hav been produced.
The rain was of inestimable benefit
to the country, which has received the
greatest soaking in years. Reports
from the cattle range are that this
storm has spared stockmen the neces-
sity of moving their herds. The water
holes and streams were dry, and grass
was backward on account of the
drouth. All vegetation has been given
a decided start.
Losses on the range along the Little
Missouri and the territory immediate
ly north have been less during the past
winter than for years. Reports from
the range of the Franklin Cattle com
pany are that there have been prac-
tically no losses on the range, which is
in strong contrast with the company's
experience at it's feeding farms In Ne
braska. There 1t is said the losses
V been about ten out of every 100
head.
Winter before last the company was
fortunate at the feed ranches, and did
not lose any cattle. Last fall, acting
upon the experience Of the previous
winter, a large number OF cattle were
shipped into Nebraska to be fed.

While she was q resident of Sioux
Falls two Indians were hanged for
murder, Allen Walking Shield and
George Bear.

She appealed directly to President

to parties in this city that when she Sc

AN AWFUL MENACE.
Bishop Satterlee Blames Husbands ana
Fathers for Growing Divorce
Evil

Washington, April 21.-"The Jews
are preserving the home and family
better than we Christians are doing.
| do not know how to account for this,
but | do know it to be a fact"
Bishop Satterlee of the Episcopal
church made this declaration IN a SER
mon here last night in which the main
subject of his discourse was divorce.
Men, said the bishop, are losing respect
for the home and caring less for the
family, the unit of our civilization. On
the shoulders of the husbands and ia
theirs of the land, he continued, rests
the responsibility for the low estate to
which the family has fallen In his
country. They fostered and encour-
aged the greatest curse Of the age
divorce and the loose n in which
the sacred marriage vows were being
kept.
The great evil, the most frightful
danger, Of our age is divorce and the
breaking down Of the family institu-
tion," said the bishop. IF it is not
stopped the women Of this country and
our race will be degraded within fifty
ears"

Lee, self-confessed boodler, is now

But I'm on this train now, to go to

He was let off. and went straight
east, probably to Chicago.
Folk called up Crow by telephone

NOT THE RIGHT FACE.
Presidents Countenance Doesn't Go
With God Bless Our Home" Motto.

Washington, April 20.-I local pho
tographer who makes a speciality OF the
portraits of President Roosevelt Is au-
thority for the somewhat surprising
statement that the photographs Of Mr..
Roosevelt do not sell. There is no de-
mand for them" said the photographer.
When Mr.. Mckinley was president we
sold twenty of his photographs where
we now sell one of Mr.. Roosevelt. Pho
t%ographs Of Mckinley still outseH those
of Roosevelt"
The photographer did not think it
was because Roosevelt was unpopular.
The only reason he could think Of was
that as a rule people who buy portraits
of President Mckinley are the ones who
keep God Bless Our Home over the
door of the parlor, a big family bible
on the parlor table and pictures of
Washington and Lincoln on the parlor
walls. Probably Mr.. Roosevelt is too
sporty to be a prime favorite with this
class of people.
