Sad Story Of the Ravages Of Quick
Consumption-Husband Of a Few
Weeks One Of Seven Victims.

Weeks One Of Seven Victims.
To put aside the white bridal veil,
replacing it with one of black, was the
experience of a young woman who
came to Miller a comparatively short
time ago, a stranger among strangers,
from Ohio, to marry N. H. Rasmussen,
a widower, whom she had known in
childhood, for hardly had the bride got
acquainted with the new life than
death, caused by quick consumption,
began it's work in exterminating the
Rasmussen family.
Only a few years ago N. H. Rasmus-
sen, with his wife and five children,
and his parents, were farmers south
west of here, and reputed to be worth
$50, 600. The farmers wife died of
consumption, followed a little later by
the death of a grown daughter. Be-
lieving q change of scene would be
helpful, they all moved to town, where
the young man started a large store.
1t was now that the young wife came
to preside over his home. The change
of business and scene, instead of bring
ing health to the family, brought them
to the grave. The next N to die was
an adult girl. A little later the grand
father died, followed quite soon by the
grandmother.
The next one marked for the grave
was N. H. Rasmussen, whose young
wife was now heartbrOken indeed, for
up to this time since coming to the
home she had been busy waiting on
the sick and assisting with the dead,
and was as yet a stranger to many In
the community. After the store and
property had been settled up it was
found that the sickness and deaths had
absorbed it about all. This left the
young widow with three stepchildren,
two quite small and one a young man
grown. They struggled along bravely
for a few months. Then the young man
took sick.
The discouraged young widow now
placed the two young children in good
homes, and the young man having re-
covered, she returned to Ohio, COM
pletely heartbroken. But the young
man soon took sick again and died sud
denly Of consumption. The funeral
was held the same day, for Claude Ras-
mussen had no relatives to summon to
his burial, the two younger children
having been placed in homes unknown
to those who had his funeral in charge.
Thus a good family of early pioneers
of this section is completely blotted
out.

Indians grow up and take it's place in
the world said some one to an old
clergyman who has devoted his life to
the Sioux. What do you think edu-
cation has done for them?"
The clergyman shook his head. Il
don't know" he said. I'm some re-
spects the young men are much worse
than their fathers. They have learned
many vices Of which the old Indians
knew nothing. Perhaps in some ways
they are better, but don't know"
The prosecuting attorney of Wyo-
ming, while at Pine Ridge last fall in
vestigating the causes of the incipient
war between the Indians and the sher-
If, made a speech to Indians of the
Ogallala boarding school, in which he
made a suggestion as to how the Sioux
nation might become wealthy. He
suggested that the old tendency to-
ward tribal relations be used to form
a huge corporation for raising cattle
on the Pine Ridge reservation. Most
of the reservation land is good for
grazing, and, with the amount they
have and what cattle they have to be-
gin with, they could organize a COM
pany, hire an experienced cattleman as
manager, and in ten years be %independ-
entity rich.
In the meantime. however. there is
suffering among the Sioux. The ra-
tions are inadequate and most of the
Indians are incompetent.
When the announcement was made
last spring hat the Indian must 60 to
work the Northwestern railroad came
forward with an offer to help solve the
problem. During the summer the
company employed about 100 Sioux
from the Pine Ridge and Rosebud res
ervations. They were employed as
section hands and coal shOvelers and
made $3.50 a day. Coal %shoveling was
the most popular with them. They
were not in the SUI and the work was
not continuous. They would shovel a
while and then sit around in the shade
and smoke cigarettes.

Runs Into an Open Switch.
Litchfeld, H., July 6.-The Wabash
limited train from Chicago to ST. Louis
ran into an open switch here Sunday
night and was completely wrecked.
The cars we're overturned and seven
coaches burned.
According to unofficial reports nine.
teen persons were killed and over fifty
more or less seriously injured. 1t is
expected that the inquest which began
yesterday will last several days. In
connection with the coroner's inquest
the state authorities are conducting a
rigid investigation into the cause of
the accident.
The injured are being cared for in
the ST. Francis hospital in this city.
Charles Corneau, station agent at
Litchfield, said that the wreck was the
result of malicious mischief. He said
the north track, as hat siding is
called, had no been used Sunday, and
it is explained that the switch
Was Tempered With.
Not fifteen minutes before the acct
dent the third section of passenger
No. 10, ~east-bound, passed over it safe
ly. But when No. IL was derailed the
switch was turned and the lock lying
on the ground beside it. Mayor w. j.

ton calling off the Fourth of July cele-
bration.
Among the injured are B. F. Tenney
and his wife of Ada, Mimi. Mrs. Ten

SIOUX INDIANS MUST co TO WORK

The Sioux Indian has gone to work.
He has done it reluctantly and under
protest. He has lone it contrary to
the advice of his father and his grand
father. But back of his father and his
grandfather is the great father at
Washington, who says that if a man
will not work neither shall he eat.
ihe rations have been cut off from
those who are able to work. So the
Indian has cast aside his blanket, and
with 1t the leisure of more centuries
accepted the new order of things as he
accepts everything else, with a philos-
ophy which looks like Indifference.
THE white man offers you work
now" said old Chief Red Cloud when
the young men came to him for coun-
that were promised under the Black
Hills treaty. They will give you work
for a little while. then you must find
it for yourselves. They will give you
nothing. They will do nothing for
you"
But the time has gone by when the
word of the chief was the final law.
The young man went to work. On the
Pine Ridge reservation about one
fourth of the Indians are ~self-suoport-
ing. They work on the roads, grading
and driving teams, for which they get
q dollar and a half a day. Several OF
them have been employed building
dams and reservoirs over the reserva-
tion. A few do a little farming and
raise cattle.
1t is difficult to make farmers OF
them while they own land from which
a white man could not make a living
They have not worked long enough yet
to demonstrate positively what they
can do. but their possibilities seem
limited. Most of them are %irresponsi

NEW A BUILDING.
Addition to the Northern Hospital at
Redfield Opened July I.

The new custodial building OF the
| Northern hospital for the insane at
| Redfeld was opened for use on July l.
| The building was opened for public in
| ~spection on Friday evening, when
! Supt. and Mrs. Katnewsky held an in
formal reception for the citizens OF
Redheld. The building is large and
conveniently arranged. and was com
pleted at a cost of $4,000. 1t will fur
nish accommodations for 120 patients
and will relieve somewhat the crowd
ed condition Of the main building.
However, there are already almost
enough applications to fill the new
building.
1t is intended to provide all children
who are capable Of securing 1nstruc-
ton at the school maintained in the
institution with sleeping quarters IN
the new building. This will be a much
needed improvement, as heretofore
school and sleeping rooms were in the
same building. Formerly only certain
classes of patients could be admitted,
and with these increased facilities cpl
leptics and all classes OF feeofe-mlno-
ed will be received.
A regular school for the feeble
minded is maintained in the main
building, where the latest improved
methods Off this line OF instruction are
in vogue. The institution has an ex-
cellent system of water supply m fire
protection, and it's W electric lighting

ISOLATION during the coming session of
the state legislature. The question of
tournament prizes was discussed at
considerable length and the c%oncensus
of sentiment prevailed hat the prizes
In future should be more equally dis
tributed as to amount in order to
place a greater premium upon actual
work tests at the tournaments. Larger
prizes should be given for the wet
tests" and smaller prizes for the run
ning races.
Fifty dollars of unused money in the
treasury vas appropriated to pay the
expenses of a delegate to the national

The business meeting of the ~associa-

was presided over by President Tuck
er. About 100 firemen from the differ
ent departments attended, and while
the deliberations were earnest and
often enthusiastic. the general good
cheer and kindly disposition which
has attended all the exercises of this
tournament prevailed at this session.
