LIEUT.. HOWE ExoNERATED.
Erny Officer Under Court Martial's
Sentence Has Slate Cleared

Fort Meade, S. D., March 3.-Lieuten-
ant ". J.. Lowe has been released from
arrest and confinement to the Fort
Meade military reservation by an Or
DER from army headquarters exoner-
atlng him of the charges under which
he was recently tried here by general
court martial. He had been charged
with negligence in his administration as
canteen officer at this post. He had ac-
cepted without authorization the re-
turns Of Sergeant Strange, an enlist
ed man, employed in the canteen, as to
the funds and property belonging to
the canteen. Strange deserted and it
WAS discovered that he was an embez-
2ter to the amount of nearly 1000.
which he had certified to Lieutenant
Lowe was in the bank at Sturgis. Lieu
tenant Lowe made good the shortage,
and it was thought the matter was
closed, but it had been reported and
charges We're filed, resulting in an or
der for the court martial
1t developed at the trial that Lieu
tenant Lowe mad splendid war record,
covering service in Cuba and the Phil
lPpines. 1t came as a surprise to his fel-
low officers of the Thirteenth cavalry,
10 whom he had never made any al
-uSIon to recommendations he had been
:;iVen for bravery. After coming home
from Cuba he was appointed by Presi-
oent Mckinley on the Paris exposition
commission, but sickness contracted in
Cuba prevented his acceptance, and his
brother was given the place. Lieuten-
ant Lowe went as an officer to the
philippines, and there displayed signal
bravery, for which he received the
highest recommendations. His coun-
sci at the trial, Captain Lottridge,
brought out the facts, and it is prob
able they had some influence in secur'
ing his cXoneration.

Plerre, >. d., March 2.-The anti
compact insurance bill came up in the
senate for final passage Saturday af-
ternoon, and after the amendments

vote of AZ to 49, but not until Brom-
ley had been given chance to make
himself solid with the progressive

LINCOLN FARMERS INSTITUTE.
Bad Weather Prevented Many From
Attendinu,

Canton, S. D., March 3-The very un-
favorable condition of the weather has
proved disastrous to the annual farm
eTs' institute for Lincoln county, which
was in session here during the last
three days OF the past week. The at
tendance was comparatively small, a
large number of farmers interested
being detained at home by the weather.
In other respects the institute was a
great success, the program of exercises
which was an unusually good one being
carried out in full with only a few ex-
ceptions. The meetings were conducted
under the direction of President Geo.
S. Millett of Hudson. The papers,
talks and lectures on various farm
topics We're interesting and exhaustive,
and the discussions We're spirited far
beyond the ordinary degree.
q. Skartyedt of Canton read a paper
on Breeds of Cattle; Jonas Minot
gave an address on Methods of Corn
Cultivation"; Jacob E. Hotter one on
Soil Culture Hon. E. Moscript had
an interesting talk on potato culture,
and Ed. Wardwell of Harrisburg talked
on Small Grain Farming" Poultry
for Profit was the subject of Tom
Nansbach of Worthing, and Hon.
Henry Bradshaw of Worthing ably
handled the subject Handling Corn
Fodder" Perry Juel of Dayton dis
cussed the farm dairy, and John Field

KILLED PRAIRIE CHICKENS.
cot Hunter Near Canton Is MuIcted
$50 and Costs.

Canton, S. D., March An. D. Rogers
professional hunter and trapper, at
the little town of Hudson, in the south
srn part of this county, came to grief
very suddenly last Saturday when Dep
uty Sheriff Tom Thackeray called at
his humble cottage with warrant for
his arrest on the charge of killing game
prairie chickens in violation of the law.
He had about six dozen checkers in
his possession. They We're all dressed
and boxed ready for shipment. Rogers
was prosecuted before local justice
and fined $50 and costs.
The South Dakota law is very strin-
gent on the prairie chicken question,
and had the full penalty been imposed
in this case Rogers would have been
obliged to pay a fine of over S700. The
Justice in rendering the verdict took
into consideration that he was poor

enough left9to get into the reconsider
alton list for today

for the state guard was the next to run
the gauntlet, and it got through safely
with only eleven opposing votes.
Next Rapid City secured S25,000 with
but little protest, and Brookings $32, 900
without single vote against it.
Senate Appropriation Measure.
In the senate work was rushed and
both senate and house bills were rap
idly pushed through, the only discus
sion in the senate being over the senate

erty of the state guard, and to expend
The receipts for the same on the ground

passed by the senate were the 5000
wolf bounty deficiency bill to pay

Pierre, S. D., March 3.-Pierre has
decided evidently not to reopen the cap
ital removal fight, for her cohorts are
not legion, and any attempt in that
direction would seem doomed to fail

session have been formally abandoned,
and nothing will be heard of the issue
again until Pierre and Mitchell CAM

A Strange Debutante.

Joan stood at the bench in her little
workshop, her paint brush In her hand,
huge white apron, very much like
Mr.. Harwood's, enveloping her slim,
graceful form.
The glow from the CRATE fell full up
en- her face and lent 1t a touch of
warmth and color which gave the fin
ishing stroke to her beauty.
She had been at work all day, and
half dozen huge masks lay at her
feet and on the bench beside her.
Two weeks had elapsed since she
staggered into the friendly haven OF
the old maskmaker's, and the two
weeks seemed like a gulf dividing her
from the past as surely as the Straits
divide Africa from Spain.
Her two companions were moe
than kind, the old man mingIing re-
spect with affection, and Emily sim
ply worshiping her. To the little
fairy the tall, beautiful girl with the
manner seemed like being of differ
ent and higher world.
Christmas was close at hand, and
Emily was very busy at the theater
preparing for the great night, the night
OF the year-the first night OF the
grand Coronet pantomime.
AS the night approached, Emily
grew restless and excited.
She expected great things from the
pantomime and had hopes of achiev-
ing success which would raise her a

CHAPTER Xxx.

For once in his life Royce looked
grave and iii at case. He had boasted
to old Craddock that whenever ne
wanted to DO anything he succeeded
in doing it; and in twenty-four hours
he had discovered that for once he
had made vain boast.
He had left Chain Court fully re-
solved on finding Joan, and, by some
means or other, on getting her into
his power.
First he went to the park, to the
spot where he had seen Joan, and
worked from there into the streets;
he went to the lodgings in Pail Mall.
and hung about out of sight on the
chance of Joan's weary feet bringing
her back; then he went to Padding
ton, and inquired about the station as
Lord villiars had one, and at last he
went to the workhouse and inter-
viewed the matron and the master.
But Joan was not to be found, she
seemed to have disappeared as sud-
denly and completely as if the earth
had opened and swallowed her up.
He drove to Scotland Yard, his
handsome face grimmer and sterner
than it had ever possibly been befort..
Royce found himself in the presence
of the quiet looking, gentlemanly man,
dressed in gray trousers and frock
coat, who glanced up from ledger,
and asked Royce his business as calm
Iy and sedately as if he-the Inspector
-wera a hanker's clerk
Il am looking for young Lady who
is missing" said Royce, sadly.
The inspector nodded, and in bust
nesslike fashion handed him a form
containing blank places for the
minute description of the missing per-
sons.
Fill that in, please" he said.
Royce filled in the form, writing a
crooked and disguised hand, and
passed it back.
Sign it. please" said the inspeeto,

The Making of a Lawyer in Him.

Freddy does not often have an idea,
but when he does he sticks to it tena-
ciously. For instance, he came out
with this conundrum the other day
with glow of self-conscious pride:
why Is an eagle like MANI"
Everybody gave It up, when Freddy
exclaimed with chuckle:
Because 1t is bald-headed."
But" said somebody, "all eagles
are not bald.headed"
That's just It," responded Freddy;
neither are all men bald.headed.
