Custer, S. D.-After lying thirty-six
hours in her burial casket, little Mabel
Fearing, tue Gve-year-old daughter of
c. NJ. Fearing, was revived and is well
on the road to recovery.
The child was saved through the in
t%ervention Of DR.. q. S. Norton, & rela-
tive, who was at the house TO attend
her funeral. His professional instinct
warned him that the rosy cheeks and
unchanged appearance Of the little
one marked an unnatural condition,
and he refused to permit the casket to
be closed.
He called other physicians, and every
test known to science wa made to de-
termine whether or not the child was
still living. The results were Salts
factory and an effort was made at
once to revive her.
For several hours the physicians
worked increasingly, using artificial res
piration combined with electrical stim-
ulation and the injection of salt and
strong heart stimulants.
At last signs of returning animation
were noted. There had never been &C.
tual rigor mortis, and after the first
two hours the limbs of the child re-
Taxed, the lips parted, and there was
noted upon the face Of a mirror a
faint cloud of breath. Half an hour
later the stethoscope indicated q re-
turn Of strong heart action:

that by that time would have been
consigned to the grave but for the Won
derfnl skill Of the physicians who at
tended her.
The supposed death Of the child was
due to typhoid fever. The physicians
are convinced she will recover. The
fever stage has been passed and with
care the child will soon be in an adj
vanced convalescent stage.

SOUGHT THE CARS LIFE
When Arrested Girl Had Bomb in
Her Possession.
Miss Merezhevsky Had Seat on Grand
Stand During Spring Review-Ad-
mitted Intention to Hurl Missile.

Breslau. Prussia.-The st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Breslau
Zeitung reports that the authorities
detected and thwarted a plot to at
tack the Emperor with a bomb during
the spring parade in st. Petersburg.
The Emperor always reviews the
parade on horseback, taking a position
before and slightly to n side of the
pavilion from which the Empress q
Grand Duchesses view the pageant.
The municipality erects a grand stand,
tickets to which are sold publicly, the
names and addresses Of the buyers
being noted.
AS persons in the loges or front rows
could easily throw an object to the place
where the Emperor stands, the author
tiles naturally reserve the right OF
cancelling the sales of tickets, II the
buyers are not known to be absolutely
trustworthy, and they subject the oc-
cupants of the grand stand to the
closest scrutiny.
Just before the Emperor arrived on
the parade ground, it was noticed that
Miss Merezhevsky, daughter of Prof.
Merezhevsky. a leading Russian psy-
chiatriast and Privy Councillor, who
occupied n of the loges nearest the
pavilion. wa and excited.
Risking a scandal should their sus-
picions prove to be unfounded. the
authorities ordered her arrest, which
was effected unobtrusively.
A search disclosed a skillfully con-
structed bomb concealed in her cloth
ing. The girl did not deny her inten-
ton of hurting the missile at the En-
peror, but refused to give any other
information.
Miss Merezhevsky has been an at
tendant at the courses in the women's
university. 1t is rumored that she has
been hanged. and her aged father is
completely Frustrated.

STEER FEEDING.

some General Points and the KEN
tuclxy Outlook IN Partfcuaar.
In feeding cattle the usual practice Is
to take the animal from grass at about
eighteen months Of age and to feed
heavily on concentrated rations during
several months. During this period the
framework Of the animal is rounded
out and fat deposited among the organs
and tissues of the body. The tendency
for several years has been toward the
fattening of younger animals. The
four-year-old. steer Is Ming of the
past, while the three-y ear-old steer is
rare. In some sections, especially
where the feeding period - long by
reason Of the hard winters, some cattle
are marketed as long yearlings, having
baan fed continuously and sold as
baby beef
The SOURCE Of feeding cattle is with
the general farmer and western ranch
man The western cattle that were for
merly marketed from grass are being
shipped more and more into the corn
