PIONEER TAKEN

Remains Of n. II. shaffer Buried at Bluff
View vermIIlIon.
VERMILLION, s. D.-The remains of
H. H. Shaffer were laid to rest in Bluff
View cemetery. He was a pioneer, having
in the early days operated a place of busi-
ness in the old town on the bottom. Death
was the result Of operations performed
for diseased bone. The wife survives
him. y >s..5
Funeral services were conducted yes
terday over the body Of Miss Daisy Sny-
der, whose death resulted from brain
fever. She was the eldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George Snyder of Sioux Falls.
Much interest is0 being taken in the
next state meeting of the firemen at
Chamberlain on June 25. The locals
have not decided whether or not they will
send a team to contest for purses, but
several will go from here to take part
in the individual sports. The appropria-
ton of $1,000 by the state, and an ad-
ditional gift of $1,000 by the city Of Cham
berlain, insures some fine purses.
If the officers Of the law are inclined to
do their duty, and the people Of the state
are desirous of enforcing the prohibitory
law. druggists Of cities where no saloons
exist will not reap such a bOuntiful har-
vest in the future by the sale Of liquors.
According to the law passed by the last
legislature in cities where high license has
been defeated, all liquor sales will have to
be made under the prescription plan. Yer
million has never voted for saloons, but
heretofore little difficulty has been ex-
perienced in obtaining almost any guam
tity of booze" s s

LIGHTING THE DARK PLACES
Or. Shrodes OF Excelsior lnvents AppII

Or. shrodes Of Excelsior Invents AppII.
ances for Carrying a Road Lantern.
EXCELSIOR, M1NN.-Dr. George H.
Shrodes has invented an appliance for car
rying a road lantern upon a horses
breast, which promises to become
favorite with doctors, liverymen and all
who drive I'm the night. The invention
consists of a light metal harness curving
around the horses shoulders, with a rod
connecting with the surcingle and holding
the lamp rigid. A patent has been applied
for. The doctor makes no claim to
originality as to the light as any lamp
may be used. His attorneys think. that
the appliance be manufactured with
good reflector to sell at about IS.
AS sin the case of many other inventions,
this was the result Of grim necessity. One
night this spring the doctor had midnight
drive to make over almost impossible
roads, and he was compelled to hold his
road lantern at arms length in order to
see the road ahead of his horse. The
night was cold, and the doctor suffered
great inconHenience. He fell to thinking
out scheme for holding a light in front
Of the horse. He had tried all the dash
lanterns on the market but had found
that they all caused the horse to remain
directly in his own light At last he hit
upon plan. and with the aid of a black
smith and harness maker, he got together
O. rude appliance embodying his ideas.
Reference to the records Of the patent
office show that two attempts have previ-
ously been made to invent a light that
would illuminate the road ahead of a
horse. Both are bulky, awkward and I'M
marketable.

GOOD BUILDING YEAR
Many New Buildings and Several
Industries of Importance at
Devils Lake.
State to Spend $45, 600 on Deaf and
Dumb School Brick and
Stone Plant.
Special to The Journal.


Devils Lake, N. D., April 2S.-Devils
Lake is going ahead rapidly In the way
OF improvements many are being made of
substantial character. The new $780,
600 hospital, erected by the Sisters of
Mercy, Is completed. The stae school for
the deaf and dumb will have $45, 600 ad-
dition built this summer. The Dakota
Machinery company, controlled by St.
Paul men, has a large building In course
of construction which will be used as an
iron foundry, repair and general machine
shop. The company will make boilers,
steam and gasolene engines and auto
mobiles. ..aa--~ =.
The Devils Lake Petrified Brick and
Stone company is another institution re-
Gently started which will develop an i'm
portant industry. A large plant has been
installed with modern machinery for the
purpose Of making brick and stone from
sand The work already turned out has
proved highly satisfactory. Enough ord
ers have been received to keep the plant
busy all summer. ,-.
These improvements, together with the
brick business blocks and many resi-
dences to be erected, will give Devils
Lake a push ahead that will land it
among the top notch cities in the state.
The grade across the lake, connecting
of this city with Fort Totten Indian
reservation, is being repaired. year or
SO ago this grade was completed. The
excessive rainfall last spring, however,
caused the waters in the lake to rise suf-
ticiently to cover the grade, and the
bridge was therefore ruined for traffic.
contract was let recently to raise the
grade several feet higher and make the
improvement a permanent one. When
the reservation is opened to settlement
next year this highway across the lake
will not only be a great convenience to
people taking up the land, but will insure
the bulk of the trade of these new set
tiers for Devils Lake.

Butte, Mont, April 2s.-J. w. Kelly,
the Well-knoWn newspaper man accused
of having shot DR.. II. A. Cayley in a room
in West Broadway on the night of Oct.
l last was acquitted in Judge McCler-
mans court last evening, the jury hav-
Ing had the case under consideration less
than two hours from the time it was
finally submitted.
There was nothing out of the ordinary
in connection with the verdict of not
guilty which the twelve men reached at
7:10. While this result had been ex-
pected, it was not thought the verdict
would be reached so soon after the close
of one Of the most remarkable trials ever
held in Silver Bow county.
County Attorney Breen for the state
finished his address at $50 yesterday aft
ernoon and the case was Immediately
given to the jury. Presumably one or
more ballots were taken, for at it was
announced that no agreement had been
made and the Jurors were escorted by
Deputy Sheriff Frank Burke to the Fin
len hotel for dinner. At z o'clock ballot
ing was resumed. Ten minutes later
word was sent down that a verdict had
been reached Kelly was discharged inn
mediatey after the verdict had been re-
turned to the court.
The information against Madame La
Bonita, who was accused of completely in
the killing of DR.. Cayley, will probably
be dismissed and she will be released from
jail.

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Madison, Wis, April 2s.--It is probable
that when the grain bill is taken up in the
senate Tomorrow morning, action may be
deferred for several days. The senator's
are taking lively interest in the freight
commission bill, which comes up in the
assembly on Thursday, and there has been
some talk as to the probable effect the
killing Of the freight commission bill in
the assembly might have or the grain COM
mission bill in the senate, altho what the
action of the lower house with reference
to the one measure has to do with quite
an entirely different measure in the SEN
ate is not perfectly clear to the lay mind.
a great deal Of work has been done by
the Superior men since Friday, altho 1t is
doubtful whether the labor will yield the
right kind of effect. The opinion is that
it will not, and, unless some mighty up
heaval takes place within the next few
hours, the bill will be killed beyond res
direction by a refusal to reconsider.
None Of those who voted Thursday
against ordering the Hudnall measure to
engrossment have undergone any change
in opinion, and none of them, so far as It
has been possible to learn, will vote any
differently than they did on Thursday.
The bill was discussed last night at an
Of postponing action on the reconsidera-
tion until Friday. Doubtless the support
ers of the bill would gladly put off con-
sideration even for longer time, con-
ditioned upon the passage Of the meas
ure, but that condition will not be forth
coming.
The last official returns Of the judicial
election were received by this secretary OF
state yesterday. The board of canvassers
will meet in few days to pass formally
on the vote. The figures show that Judge

number Of justices Of the supreme court
from five to seven was adopted by a ma
