BOTHERED A WIDOW.
Interesting Case of a Farmer and His
Sacred Flame"

Sacred lame
Huron, S. D., Nov. There resides
a prosperous farmer in the west par,
OF this county who is ambitious for the
heart and hand CT an attractive widow
"a school teacher-of the same local
1ty. His attentions were not appre-
ciated by he lady, but she was unable
TO shake him Off, and as a last resort
appealed to Judge Whiting of The cir
cult court, who issued an order re-
stralning the ardent lover from paying
further attention to tie lady-must noI
send presents, gifts or letters or in any
way annoy her. For a time the order
was obeyed. but a few weeks since
the sacred fame" began burning
anew, and .disregarding the %injunc-
tional edict he renewed his efforts to.
possess the hand and heart of the un-
sympathetic school ma'am. So de-
termined was he hat she was again
obliged to appeal to the court. and this
time the order came for him to show
cause why he should not be punished
for contempt; this he failed to do. and
was therefore fined $50 for his ~offensc
n was given to understand that a
repetition of the offense would neces-
state the enforcement of more severe
methods. 1t is doubtful if this incident
is closed.

Something frequently happens that
goes to prove the fertility of the soil
the Salt River valley. 1t is nothing
0nusua to hear of cutting several cropa
OF alfalfa off one field in one season;
grapes frequently bear two crops and
so do figs. The latest, however, Is re-
ported by James Goodwin. He has in
his yard a tree that to the casual OBJ
server is only an ordinary pear tree.
1t was nothing more thar this to Mr..
Goodwin until this year. Ee had al
ways noticed that 1t was of IN early
variety, and this season along in May
a crop of pears was picked. 4 little
later his interest Was aroused by MOTTO
ing the tree in full bloom again. What
ss still more interesting, Is that at
the present time the tree has another
fully matured crop of pears on it which
are now ripening, as well as did the
first croD.

Mukden, Nov. S-Unintcrrupted activ-

that or Pungpao hill occupied by the
Japanese, and that on ManalOn hill

From Hungpao the japanese are shell
ing the Russians with captured Russian

the Russians indicates hat this spot,
which is the most prominent along the
entire line. will doubtless initiate the
coming battle. Occasional casualties
are reported at Pieuchiapu on account
of its exposed position. The advantage
Of opposition appears slightly in favor
of the Japanese along the entire line.

IN action had been taken at The

In their daily different explanations
the Russians alternately credit us with
supernatural cleVerness and foolish
ness. If people would only stop to
think, they would see that it would be
Amos suicidal for us to risk the
friendship of any power by an attempt
to destroy the Russian squadron from
