SOUTH SIDE BUILDING
Six New Houses TO be Erected III the
Vicinity of the University
This Spring.

Building operations will be quite
active on the south side Of the city
this spring and summer. There is
an increasing demand for houses
over there, and so far there has never
been enough to supply the people
who desired 10 come to Mitchell and
make their homes over there for the
purpose OF being close to the Univer-
sity.
Within a week OR ten days a COM
pany Of individuals of this city will
commence the erection of six
cottages in the vicinity of the Uni
.versity. They will be scattered to
some extent, which will induce more
building. These cottages Will cost
on an average 81. 500 each and will be
for sale.
This is the kind of a movement.
that has long been needed, not only
In that part of the city, but north of
the Milwaukee track. The indica-
tions for this tall are that there
will be a much increased attendance
at the University, as people are
planning to move to Mitchell to
send their sons and daughters to the
college, and they naturally prefer a
location close TO the educational
institution. Outside Of this on
certed movement OH the part Of these
individuals there is a good deal Of
other building going on and consider
able under contemplation, and 1T is
evident that much will be accom-
plished over there before the build
Ing season reaches an end.

Vigorous Old Age

Paine's Celery Compound makes the old
feel young, and cures their ills. It has added
years Of health and enjoyment 10 many a life.
Use this great medicine regularly, and its invigg-
Grating powers will fill your declining years
with health, strength, and happiness. Read
what George +. Morse, 81 years old, writes:
WELLS & RICHARDSON Co.,
Gentlemen Just a word in favor Of
Paine's Celery Compound, hoping it may catch
the eye of some afflicted person, and they
may receive the same satisfactory benefit.
Some IS years ago I had a combination Of
malaria, chills and fever, and grip, which con-
tinued for a year or more; meantime I lost IN
weight about 90 pounds, trying different medi-
cines and doctors with unsatisfactoy results.
Paine's Celery Compound was recommended,
and, after using a little / began to improve,
gaining about a pound a week. In ayear E
had regained 50 pounds of the lost weight and
good health, and have been a well man ever
since. Yours truly, GEORGE r. MORSE.

The Omaha road pow has a fine
train running between Mitchell and
Minneapolis. When the train was
put on last September just the ordi-

present time the train is full yesti-
buled, and presents a solid appear
ance from the mail car back to the
Pullman sleeper. The train is
lighted throughout with. Pintsch
gas, and it is like living in a house
on wheels. The cars on the interior
are attractive and clean and a person
can make the night trip to st. Paul
and Minneapolis with some comfort.
either in the Pullman sleeper or the
coaches.
Recently the Milwaukee road
placed some new coaches on the I. s.
D. division that outshines anything
the company has v e sent on its
western lines. There are three OF
these coaches and they ply between
Chicago and the terminus of the road
at Chamberlain. They are vestibul-
ed, and the interior decorations are
of highly polished colored wood, and
the Surroundings a-e bright and
cheerful. The train also carries a
chair car, which is also yestibuled,
and this runs through to Chicago
from Mitchell. Now if this division
will carry the vestibuled idea to the
smoking car and the mail and bag
gage cars nothing finer could be
asked for. On the Sioux City and
Dakota division there has pee no
changes along this line, although
there is plenty Of room for improve
ment in the passenger cars that run
between Aberdeen and Sioux City.

FINED For KILLING PlG.
s 4. Morgan Has Something to Say
Concerning His Arrest for
Killing a Pig

Editor Republican: Tuesday /
was placed under arrest for violating
a city ordinance, and I desire to
make a statement of the circum-
stances surrounding the situation,
and as to the cause Of the arrest.
did. or rather caused to be done by
my men. shoot a little $50 pound pig
in my barnyard in said city Of Mitch
ell. And after shooting said pig,
stuck him with a knife and drew
from said pip about two quarts Of
blood, then loaded said pig into a
wagon and took him to a slaughter
house and dressed Lin.
Now, ! am aware that the law
knows no%ignorance. Yes, that much
| know. But / will confess that /
did not know that there was a city
law to prevent killing a pig in your
own yard. and the amount of that
kind Of business that has been done
here in the city would cause anyone
to believe SO. We have doneit many
times ourselves where we have
bought hogs Of parties living here
in the city. Every butcher that ever
did business in Mitchell has done
the same thing. And, Furthermore,
I know Of parties that are not butch
ers who are killing and dressing
their own hog or hogs here in the
city of Mitchell.
When I was arrested and the city
Justice read the law to me l asked
him and the marshal why in these
many years past that the law had not
been enforced. They said because
no one had made any complaint to
them. 4 good set OF officers that
can't or won't see a public nuisance
until someone else tells them Of it,
especially n which has occurred as
often as the one for which / was ar
rested. But / haven't yet told you
how they caught me. Well, it was
this way. In the neighborhood
where l live there reside two women
by the name Of Mrs. Leedom and Mrs.
Raymond. Well, these two good wo-
men were the complaining witnesses
and notified the marshal that ] killed
the pig. The marshal notified the
city attorney. the city attorney
ordered the city justice to issue a
warrant for my arrest. And Mar
shall Tom Briggs arrested me and led
me over to Justice McKinley's office.
The Justice read the complaint to
me and said "are you guilty or not
guilty." Well, sir, / felt so guilty by
that time thatI had to plead guilty,
because you know those two wonen
saw me kill that pig. Then the
Justice said the penalty for killing
a pig in the city Of Mitchell said
he: Sits from $40 to 800 fine,n
and. says he, ssMr. Morgan, / am
going to be as easy with you as
possible; I shall fine you ten dollars
for killing that pig.n And, oh, now
grateful ! felt right away quick to.
that dear old justice and all the off,
GERS and the women connected in the
case that I got off by paying ten
dollars for killing that pig Of mine
when they might have made me pay
300.
| would suggest that those women
be employed by the city to aid and
instruct the city officers in the line
of their duty, SO that all such crimes
as | was guilty Of in killing that pig
of mine will no more be allowed in
this, our city of Mitchell.
Very gratefully yours,
S. 81. Morgan.

THREE MALTA SUSPECTS
HELD IN PHILADELPHIA
Italians Said to Have Banded Together
in "Little Italy" to Extort Money
From Countrymen.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 3.-That
a branch of the Malta, or some similar
society, is in existence in Little Italy"
here is the declaration OF several ItaI-
ians and the conviction OF the police.
AS a result three Italians are now
under arrest pending Investigation.
They are Fortunate Biggest. Frank Iu-
cania. and Salvatore Juilana. The
technical charge upon which they are
held is carrying concealed weapons.
Michael Saline. an italian, about a
week ago complained to the police that
band of men who had rooms in the
rear of sos Carpenter Street had threat
ened him with violence unless he gave
them $50. He gave them so. which was
all the money he had. When he paid
the money, Saline says, he was forcibly
detained and compelled TO take an oath
of secrecy and allegiance. Upon this
information the police on Saturday
night raided the house and arrested
twelve men who were found there.
Every one carried a loaded revolver,
stiletto, or some other weapon. All
were discharged except Bugesi, Lucania,
and Juliana.
At the hearing yesterday before Mag
Same failed to appear Saline explained
that the men were afraid they would be
killed If they testified against the al
legged band. Magistrate Toughfll has
had several cases of alleged extortion
and conspiracy in the Italian quarter.

CHINATOWN WOMEN
DIVIDED BY WAR
Mrs. Loo Linn Causes CONSERVATION by
Inroad Into Ranks of Rivals.

NEW YORK. Dec. S.-There is a
breach in the social life of New York s
Chinatown. One-half Of the Chinese
five hundred and fifty headed by
hang Tung Bac. the girl orator who
held al Chinatown spelIbound several
week. ago while she expounded the
present political situation and its dan
ger 10 China, is up in arms against the
other half, which has for its leader Mrs.
Loo Lii. missionary and teacher.
Miss Bac is the daughter Of King Vel
Wed. president of the main Chinese Re
form Association. and the only remain
ing member of the seven organizers. the
other six mandariEs having lost their
heads through the wrath OF the EN-
press Dowager.
Miss BAG is a well educated, intelli-
gent, and enthusiastic worker in be-
half of her country, and although only
seventeen years old. has visited several
Of the large cities in the United States
where the reform associations have been
organized. Her efforts here also met
with success at the outstart The char
ter members OF the, reform club in
cluded nine-tenths of the aristocratic
members Of the Oriental quarter.
Miss Bac. however. was getting alto
gether too popular TO suit the taste of
Mrs Loo Lin. Her husband is an en-
thusiastic worker Of the mems organiza-
ton. but she viii have none of it.
Having been brought here by the For
eign Missionary Society, a branch OF
which is situated in Chinatown, Mrs.
Loo Lin has entree TO the Chinese
homes in the capacity Of teacher, and
II IS said that frequent designations from
the charter membership roll OF the Re
form Club are due to her influence.
Mrs. Loo Lin youchsafes nothing in re-
gard to the movement, except the state
ment that she is not Interested in pOli-
tics and that Miss Bac Is a mere slip Of
a girl-an echo Of her father, and not a
woman with E-ind Of her own.
The war is not open yet, but it smoui-
ders, and when some one of the rumors
in regard TO the Loo Lin Anti Reform
Club for Women cen be verified il is
liable TO cause A decided coldness and
perhaps complete ostraeism from China
town Of Miss Bac.
Miss Bac having recently entered a
high school near Boston. preparatory TO
the Wellesley course next year cannot
come TO the rescue OF her beloved club.

ON NAVAL COMMITTEE
Speaker Cannon Reaches Decision-Op-
posed to Recommendation of Mr..
Williams, the Minority Leader.

Speaker Cannon has reached a de-
eision in the matter of Maryland's rep
reservation upon the Committee on
Naval Affairs, 1t is that Mr. AIudd.
Republican, viii hold his place on the
committee. and that Mr. Talbot, Demo-
crat, shall content himself with a place
on another committee.
Mr. Talbot was a member of the Naval
Committee in the Fifty-t third Congress.
and upon returning TO the House. after
an absence OF eight years. aspired to
reappointment. He was recommended
FOR the position by Mr.. Williams. the
minority leader but the recommends
lion was not approved by Speaker Can
non, owing to the Iatter's decision not
to allow any State two members on one
committee.
1t was rot contemplated either by
Mr.. Cannon or Mr. Williams that Mr.
Mudd should be displaced on the COM
mittee IS Maryland's representative in
naval matters. but Mr. Williams urged
that Mr.. Talbot be allowed a place on
the committee by reason of his past
service in that line.
Unless Speaker Cannon makes an ex-
ception to this decision, I'm the case of
the District Committee, either Mr. Mudd
or Mr.: Pearre viii be displaced on that
committee.

Or. William c Woodward, Health
Officer OF the District Of Columbia, to-

the Health Department was held re-
sponsible for allowing the delivery Of
infected milk. DR.. Woodward says. IN
part:
THE shipment of milk in any such
case can be prevented only by the ex-
ercise OF force. or by requiring the
railroads 10 refuse 10 accept c. TO
transport such milk. Such shipments
originate. however. in jurisdictions IN
der whose laws an inspector OF the
Health Department has no authority
other than that possessed by any Dri-
Vate citizen IN the community
For such an inspector TO undertake
20 prevent by force the shipment OF
such milk would involve him in an az
fray and subject him to punishment un-
der the laws of the State. And no
tee from such an inspector or from the
Hath Department 10 railroad com
pany engaged in the shipment OF milk
rom any State or Territory into the
