Mnchine Man Fined.

w. @. Fairbanks, a representative OF
the concern which is placing the money
slot machines in the vicinity Of Sioux
Falls was arrested Tuesday, of last
week, under the gambling ordinance,
and on Friday was fined $l05 in Justice
Fowler's court. This is the first time
the law has been drawn upon this 9iass
of gam bling devises but the action
would indicate that the Sioux Falls
authorities propose to restrain the bust
ness in the future. The Sioux City
authorities have recently adopted a plan
of q monthly fine of % for each Of the
money machines and So so for each of
the cigar machines.

ing to commit a criminal assault upon

STATE NEWS.


Another Test Case.
Since the insurance companies oper-
ating in this state took the anti CON-
pact case into the United States court
to test the law and met defeat, they
have been talking of carrying IL to the
supreme court Of the United States, but
have made no active move in that direc-
ton. Instead they have started a new
suit in the state court at Mitchell, the
Phoenix, of Brooklyn, and several other
companies being interested. The case
was set for hearing on June 4. In it
they attack the valued policy provision
Of the law of last winter, declaring that
it is unconstitutional in that it delegates
to the insurance commissioner both
Legislative and judicial powers, giving
him the power of fixing the form of pol
icy under the law, when the Legislature
should have framed this as a part Of the
law itself. The complaint also declares
that the law is in violation of the right
of contract, This movement is only q
part Of the general attack the insurance
companies are bringing against the leg
islation of the last session.

NAN PATrERsoN's TRIAL.
Attorney o'Reilly Sharply Questioned
by the Prosecution. ~

Daniel J. O'ReilIy of counsel for Nan
Patterson, on trial for the murder of Caesar
Young, was called to the stand In New
York yesterday afternoon. after The Stars
report closed. by Assistant District Attor-
ney Rand and asked If he knew J. Morgan
Smith. the missing brother-in-law Of the
defendant. Mr.. O'Reilly also was asked II
he knew Mrs. Smith, Miss Patterson's SIS
ter, and J. Randolph Patterson. her father
To all three questions he gave an affirma-
tive answer.
The significance. of the questioning of Mr.
Greatly, 1t Is believed, will be shown when
other witnesses are examined, but the pur-
pose Of the questions was not apparent yes
terday. In his opening address Mr.. Rand
said that he proposed to show why Smith
had ran away, where he had run to. ana
who had helped him run.
The only new feature OF the testimony
taken yesterday was the further loss OF
memory which has been suffered by Fred
erick Michaels. the driver of the hanson In
which Young was shot. At the first trial
Michaels' evidence was very hazy. Yester-
day he could tell nothing which threw light
on the tragedy. He reiterated the state
ment previously made by him to the enect
that he had not looked In the cab when he
heard the pistol shot. and that he would
have kept straight on to the Fulton street
dock had not Miss Patterson called to him
to go to drug store.

Every Man Must Help Himself.
Mr.. Lawson says that only one person
can help a man in this world. and that per-
son is himself. Certainly few have helped
him, for he has many enemies.
'"They are all thoroughbreds." he says OF
his enemies. Every one of them would
rise from a sound sleep to do me an injury.
Long may they live. They put spice into
life."
To most men the loss of a couple OF mill
Hon dollars would be a blow from which
they would never recover. Not SO with Mr.
Lawson. More than once he has lost that
amount with smile, and more than a
dozen times he has made that amount while
the day laborer in front of his ONCE was
earning 81.

for Is his beautiful home. His house In the

this as well as every other phase OF his

HER SECURITIES WORTHLESS.

Valueless at Cleveland.

at Cleveland yesterday afternoon, after The
Stars report closed, upon the opening of an
envelope which Mrs Chadwick had given to
Ira Reynolds of the Wade Park Bank, and
which caused him to give her his attest that
he held securities belonging to her worth
$500 600 g..
Transcending everything else that has
gone before. is this exposure. which caused
one of the three lawyers who were present
when the famous envelope was opened to
declare unqualifiedly that the security was
actually not worth one cent.
The greatest of all the great bubbles in
the Chadwick mystery has burst with the
verification of the belief that the so-called
security held by Reynolds has at last proved
to be worthless.
Through all the ramifications of the case
there has been constant hope that through
some chance the Reynolds securities, as
they have been known, might be good, but
| tonight 1t is known that this hope Is abso-
lutely gone.
The discovery almost drove Reynolds
crazy, and he is at his home, broken-heart-

A Case of Social Skill.

One day as boy saw a blind man
and boy come into our town and en-
ter the drug store. Curiosity caused
me to follow and listen. I do not
know why I remember such things
when I never could hold the dates Of
history.
The blind man was selling a book.
Before he was blind he sold drugs and
our druggist remembered him. While
the druggist was getting the money to
pay for book heard the blind man
say to the boy, Didn't tell you, Will
lie, that the Lord would help us
here" Then while speaking of old
times with the druggist the blind man
began to tell story, but a customer
~ the stove took exceptions to the
story and poured out lot of verbal
abuse on the book agent.
The druggist came from behind the
counter, got between the customer and
the blind agent and with a happy
voice and cheerful manner began tell
ing another story which the customer
took good naturally. The man with
the boy was wise enough to get out
without saying good bye, without fin
ishing his own disastrous story and
without hearing the helpful story of
the druggist. The agents patron ex-
hibited rapid forethought and skillful
reSourcefulness.

Anna ran a little store in little

made Annals store an evening resort.
This accuracy missionary was one Of
them, and with a mania for ribbon
paper for note books. BY folding and

those ribbon records are to be dug

contain some thoughts worth wearing

tain trimmings for the heart also.
