Buou n,l,s Budget

Roy Cummings spent the Christmas
holidays with his uncle, but returned
to Iona in time to escape the severe
storm.
Louis Flatt returned in time for
the concert Saturday.
T.. w. Miller took home Il good load
of Bijou Hills furniture for his new
house and came back for another load
directly after.
Ben Mcillcr has been helping in the
bank during the holiday rush.
The Murray children enjoyed a
Christmas treat. They had provided
presents, fruit and candy for all in
the household.
The storm kept some of II German
families from attending funeral at
White Lake this week, a friend who
had been u bride of but a few weeks.
The deceased formerly lived in this
section near Red Luke.
All agree that the entertainment at
Woodman hall was me of the best.
Where all did so we'll perhaps 1T were
better not to partlculariZe. The Open-
ing voluntary was played by Mrs. o.
T.. Murray. She rendered a minuet in
Il spirited manner. Jennie Owen, Lena
Graves and Grace Cummings all reclt-
ed plainly and well. The dialogues
were the most taking part of the pro-
gram. Welcome Anderson'S recitation
was a great feat of memory. The
reading of Gladys MURRAY was we'll
done for one so young. Helen Carrick
Elsie Graves, and Ralph Taylor recit-
ed nicely. DR.. and Mrs. o. e. Murray
sang a duett. Nesta Murray and
Alma Anderson, John Bond and
Chester Booher. Maud Cummings and
Howard CarracE also rendered good
r%ecitations. The dance of the Snow
! Flakes was beautiful and the song
"Kris Kringle' took we'll, but the old
fashioned Sahta Claus was the climax.
This part was taken by John Bingham
the teacher. The presents were nu-
meronS and some of them comical. A
doll baby for the newly welded and
tobacco for those who never use the
weed were some of the pleasantries in
dulged 10. An equally good time was
had at the NJ. e. church bnt we have
not any particulars concerning it. 1t

resigned his pulpit on account of his

cLATE T1NAN
Paper Of the CITY and Count,

1t looks dark for the state militia.
There is a strong sentiment among
the newspapers Of the state against
another large appropriation by the
legislature for the benefit of the state
guard. Two years ago $4,000 was ap-
priated, and while this caused IL good
deal Of unfayorable comment, yet it
was given out that after the appropri-
alton was exhausted the federal gov.
eminent would look out for the MAIN
lance ofsthe militia and most of the
kickers subsidized. Now that "Old
Conk" is preparing to be on hand at
Pierre with IL request for another big
slice of the appropriation pie there is
a general protest. Some way or other
the militia doesn't hayc the "pull"
like the high schools maintained in a
certain towns for the benefit of their
respective communities, While an in
stitute for lmbeciles will pull like a
house atire.

Death of John v. Mash.k

John MaShek, who vas seriously in
jured by the accidental discharge OF
a rifle IN his house in the southwest
part of the town on the Sth inst, died
shortly after midnight Of Saturday.
AS told at the time of the accident it
was necessary to amputate the injur-
ed foot, and the shock proved too
great for a mar of his advanced age to
overcome. He had every care which
medical skill and the administrations
of family ties and kind friends could
minister but to no avail.
The funeral took place at the
Catholic church Wednesday, Rev. c..
e. O'Flaherty officiating. and a large
number were present to testify the
esteem with which Mr.. Mashck was
held in this community.
Mr.. Mashek was born in Bohemia
70 years ago. lie came to the United
State in 1870, locating in Iowa and ten
years later took up his residence in
Brule county. where lie has since re-
sided. About a year ago he decided
to take life more easily and with his
wife took a home in Kimball.
Mr.. Mashek is survived by his wife
and six children Frank, John, Charley,

The Anti-SaIoon League feels so
much encouraged over the supreme
court decision that an affirmative ct
must be made every spring before &
license can be issued that they pro-
pose some radical effArts at the coming
session of the legislature. One of the
measures they will try to get through
will be to extend the vote on saloon
licenses to farmers and others living
in the county outside of the towns.
Such a scheme would virtually take
the question out of the municipality,
and we imagine it will be a cold daY
when the legislature will permit non
residents OF a municipality to decide
whether such town or city shall oper-
ate a saloon or not. 1t would virtually
apounc to county local option, which
past experience has show Impractical.

A remarKable ghost story IL told In
the parish Of Burton Agnes, England.
There years ago lived three sisters Of
the name of Boynton. The youngest
Of the three exacted tho promise from
the others that on her death her head
should be placed on table in the hall.
She met with an accident shortly after
which resulted In her death. Her sis
tiers neglected their promise to her,
and she was buried, head and nil. But
on the night after the burial the hall
was thrown into terrible confusion, and
the dead lady appeared to her sisters
with her head under her arm She
upbralded them with their neglected
promise and, placing the head on the
table, disappeared, In the morning
the head was still there, and on the
coffin being dug up the body was found
to be headless. Any attempt to re-
move the head was followed by dis
turbances during the night. II was
even buried at distance from the
house, but was restored by the ghost.
Eventually the head disappeared, but
the disturbances continue nightly In

o.s of r,naan,. Heroic nrpsr.msns.

One of TyndaI1's Heroic ExnsYimsnts
In 1894 Tyndall performed the az
pertinent of separating light from heat
In the course of the Investigations
which enabled him to do this he made
one Of the most daring experiments
that ever u scientific man ventured on.
Knowing layer OF iodine placed be-
fore the eye Intercepted tho light, he
determined to place his own eye In the
focus Of strong invisible rays. He
knew that If In doing 80 the dark rays
were absorbed In a high degree by the
humors Of the eyes the albumen OF
the humors might coagulnte. and, on
the other hand, II there was no high
absorption the rays might strike upon
the rstina with force sufficient 10 de-
stroy It. When he first brought his
eye undefended near the dark focus tbs
heat on tho parts surrounding the pupil
was too intense TO be endured. He
therefore made an aperture In the plate
OF the metal and. placing bis eye be-
hind this aperture. he gradually ap-
preached the point of conveyance Of
the Invisible rays. First the pupil ana
next the retlna were placed In tho focus
Without any sensible damage. Imme-
dintely afterward n sheet Of platinum

retina had occupied became red hot
