JONES' ADVENTURES.

Bruce Herald: Wonder ii the
boomers of Mitchell ever read of
the adventures of Jones in Dako-
ia, when it was yet territory,
as described by Hayden Carruth,
when Jones tried to steal the cap
ital at Bismark and bring it back
to Jones City? It will probably
serve as very good illustration
of how their efforts will end in
trying to move the capital from
Pierre to Mitchell. Here is
Jones' story: 81 went out to Da-
kota and began in the real estate
business by founding Jones City
and making it the capital of
Tumble Weed county, At that
time Dakota court houses were
kept on wheels, / may almost say.
One afternoon a party of men
from Jumpersburg crept up,
hitcned six mules on my court
house and trotted away with it to
their own towl. But / was. not
discouraged, and determined on
the boldest stroke ever ATTEMPTED
in the territory. It was nothing
more or less than to bring the
capitol down from Bismark, aud
put in the place of my court house,
thus making Jones City the capi.
tai of the territory. Fearing tha,
the old territorial officers might
not come, I hired a new set ol
officials, including sayssHer
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1904-05-12

auditor, judges, attorney general,
and so forth, choosing them most
ly from my old county officers,
who had been left behind. Bor-
rowing the court house wheels
from Jay Bird county, took my
territorial officers, fifty leading
citizens and ten spans of mules,
and proceeded TO Bismarck Un-
der cover of darkness we adjusted
the wheels and hitched the mules.
Most of my officials took their
places in the several rooms, and
as the level rays of the rising sun
shot ath wart the great broad
plain, carpeting it with cloth of
gold, and waking the song birds
to melody and the wild flowers to
prodigality of fragrance, / touch-
ed up the wheel mules from the
front portico, and we rolled away
out of town, with my governor on
the roof blowing a tin horn, and
| my superintendent of schools, a
| very conservative man, on top of
| the chimney firing his revolver
into the air and singing Hail
Columbia" 1t was noble scene
| and one that lives in my memory,
but the effort was failure. Gen
tiemen, I left Dakota without a
cent in the world. When we
were about ten miles out my at
torney general came to me and
raised a point of law. It was
this: That Jones City would not
become the legal capital Of the
territory unless we had the cellar
which belonged uader the capito
building. / gave the reins to my
territorial secretary, and directed
the attorney general instantly te
bring 4 test case before the dis
trict court, then sitting in its
chambers on the first floor, h
| decided it WIS right. Then, a.
we ratified along across th'
prairie, i appealed the case II
the supreme court, on the secone
| floor. It confirmed the decision
of the lower court. / instaatl,

went back tor the cellar. w

The Feeling of Security

Experienced by a customer who
rents one Of our Safety Deposit Boxes
Is very satisfying when he realizes
that his valuable papers, such as Mort
cages, Deeds, Certificates Of Stock, In
surance Policies, Wills, ETC., are abso-
lutely safe from fire and theft, and are
Just where he "can put his hands on
them when wanted.
We have only a limited number of
these Safety Deposit Boxes for rent,
and Of course will have to apply the
old rule Of first come, first served.
These Boxes are in two different
sizes, either size furnishing ample room
for the accommodation Of papers men
toned; the smaller size we rent FOR ~
per year; little larger for SO per year
You couldn't make better invest
ment of two or three dollars than by
securing for this amount the protection
and safety afforded by these Safety
Deposit Boxes.

BENJAMIN Franklin

Died in Philadelphia on April II,
I1790, and history says that 10000 peo-
pie attended the funeral. This trib-
ute on the part Of those who were his
contemporaries shows, In a measure,
the extent to which the great states
man, inventor, editor, philanthropist
and humble, consecrated Christian, by
his life work had won the love, respect,
esteem and confidence Of his fellow
citizens. There are few students liv-
ing today who are not willing to admit
that Franklin accomplished as much or
more for the welfare of humanity
while he lived, or has exerted a greater
influence for good on the millions born
after his physical death than any other
American. When he spoke, or wrote,
or acted, 1t was to the point. He never
wasted time or words. How many
men living in this enlightened age can
condense as much wisdom in fifteen
words-one sentence-as did Benja-
mon Franklin, when he said:
Look around the habitable earth, how
few
Know their own good, or knowing it.,
pursue"

KNOWN that the Mutual Benefit Life

ance company In the world, and issues

because 1 have been repeating this
truth in these columns almost con-
stantly since July, 1899, and I know
you have been reading my advertise
ments for the reason that recently
undertook to test the matter and
caught you.
You know that your own good, II you
live to be old, or that Of your depend
ents II you do not, demands that your
life be insured. You know that I can
not afford to make the bold, plain,
blunt, unconditional claims in cold
print from week to week that I have
been making II I, did not know they
were true, for the reason that other
companies would and could call me
down. Their agents may take you
around the corner and claim that they
have at" and may convince you that
they have until you learn the differ
ence between their company's' record
and contacts and those of the Mutual
Benefit and then you will feel like
kicking yourself for leaping before
looking, because you had been led to
suppose that all life insurance COM
panies and contracts were about the
same"
