LITTLE WALTERS POOR LITTLE
BROTHER.

A year ago | got to be
A little baby's brother,
And since he come, why him nor me
Amt neither had no mother.
My father says she's went to stay
Away up there above us,
And always watch us every day
And not forget to love us
And father says it's God what brings
Around the little brothers.
And sees all things and knows all
things
And takes away our mothers.
There's something that l can't see
through:
Nv father says God brought him
If God sees all and knows all, too,
wonder why We got him?
I don't see why He'd want to give
A boy a little brother
That had to come on earth to live
And never nave a mother.
I'm sorry for the little chap
That's lyin' there and CROWN
And cuttin' teeth in nurses lap
And never, V KNOWN.
II was God you'd never see
Another little brother
Brought down on earth again TO De
Left here without his mother.

Yankton. S. D., Aug. 24.-Captail
Gould, for many years in the govern
ment Missouri service, and who is now
engaged south of this city pulling
"snags,' offers a theory he proves
easily, for the prevalence of that great
danger to navigation Of "Old Muddy"
Contrary to the general opinion, Cap
tain Gould holds that with few excep-
tions the huge snags, some of them
one hundred feet long. which he is
Tearing the river of, have been buried
for ages, and are not newly hoated
down logs. He says the constant cut
ting of the river washes out sandbars
on which once grew immense trees
The roots still remain fast, imbedded
in their original SOIL Dried out by
hundreds of years of burial beneath the
bed of the river, on the removal of the
sand above. the now light and buoyant
log floats partly to the top and forms
snag, which is exceedingly danger
Gus, especially the submerged kind.
The snap boat either breaks off these
logs by ramming them. or pulls them
up by derrick, when the log is allowed
to float down stream, as floating log
never makes a snag." A green" log
is seldom met with, so that the con-
slant pulling up of snags, as they APP
pear. will eventually clear the river of

WILL OF MRS. DODGE
F|ERCELY CONTESTED
A Sensational Turn Taken by
Relatives Of Deceased
Woman.
ALLEGE UNFAIR METHODS
Charge Made That Rev. A. M. Me-.
Donald Executor and Who is Be-
queathed Much, Used UncIue
Influence.

Sioux Falls S. D.. Aug. 23.-The cor.
test of the will of Mrs. Abbie r. Dodge,
who died at Jacksonville, Fla. on
March 2s of the present year. has TAX
Ell decidedly sensational; turn. Mrs.
Dodge was for many years a resident
of Sioux Falls, Yankton and other
places in South Dakota. and was wide
~ known through the eastern portion
OK the state.
Copies of Florida newspapers which
have been received by old friends of
Mrs. Dodge in this city give the pres
ent status of the suit, and contain ma
terial which will be read with interest
by all those who knew her while she
was a resident OF the state. The suit
was instituted by Charles H. Sweetser
and other relatives Of Mrs. Dodge, and
promises to become noted in the history
of legal controversies over Wills.
The defendant is Rev. a. NJ. Mac
Donald, executor of the last will and
testament of Mrs. Dodge, who left an
estate valued at $250,000. The greater
part of the estate was bequeathed to
Macdonald. The relatives of Mrs.
Dodge instituted the suit for the pur-
pose of having the will set aside, on
the grounds that Mrs. Dodge was men
tally incapable 4of executing a will at
the time the instrument in question
was drawn. and that Macdonald used
undue influence in having himself made
the principal beneficiary. The suit has
been stoutly contested from the start.
Those who instituted the suit made
application to Judge Fl. b. Philips of
the probate court at Jacksonville. for
the issuing of a commission to take the
testimony of persons residing outside
the state of Florida to show that Mrs.
Dodge was mentally incapable of exc
cutting a will. Judge Philips denied
the applications 1t was carried to am
Ntl
upon a rehearing before Judge Phil
ips he sustained his former action.
Then it went to the state supreme court
of Florida on mandamuS proceedings to
compel Judge Philips to issue the COM
mission.
That court ordered it to be heard by
another court. where the writ of man
damus was duashed. Another appeal
to the state supreme court was then
perfected. Some of the testimony in
the main case was sensational. Miss
Ida Stafford, one of the witnesses to
the document. testified that at the time
Mrs. Dodge affixed her signature to the
instrument and was not aware of its
contents.
The witness stated that Rev. Mr.
Macdonald was present when the will
making him the chief beneficiary was
signed. DR., Edward N. Leill. who had
been Mrs. Dodges attending physician
before and after the signing of the will
testified that Mrs. Dodge, at the time
the alleged will was executed. was not
mentally capable of executing the in
strument. The testimony of numerous
other witnesses corroborated the evil
'dence as to her mental condition.
The contestants made a very strong
case. and have strong hopes of having
the will set aside and the property Of
the deceased distributed among the
relatives who are the rightful heirs.

SCHEDULE OF RATES.
All Storage Warehouse Men Must Pub :

ish Them Once Year.
Sioux Falls. S. d.. Aug. 24-It does
not appear to be generally known
among the warehouse men of South
Dakota that the state law requires that
every bonded warehouse shall during
the first week in September of each
year publish in a newspaper in the city
or town where warehouses are Sit
uated a table or schedule of rates for
the storage of grain during the en-
suing year. These published rates, ac-
cording to the state law, cannot be in
creased during the year. The schedule
of rates must also be printed in plain
type on the warehouse receipts and
tickets. The charges for storage OF
handling shall in all cases be equal
and just and must be approved by the
state board of railroad commissioners
before going into effect Heretofore the
warehouse men of the state have moi
generally complied with the state Law
requiring the publication of thes,
schedules.
The licenses Of all state warehous,
men expired August 1. Under the stat,
law they are required to procure
license from the state board of rail.
road commissioners before they car
transact a warehouse business. Secre.
tary Stanley of the board of railroad
commissioners, states that while mos,
of the state warehouse men have sen,
in their applications for new licenses
others are yet delinquent. In case,
where grain is stored for compensa.
ton, warehouse men are required ts
furnish a bond in the sum Of $1,000
for each 10000 bushels capacity.

DYNAMITE OUTRAGE.
Night Attempt Made to Blow UP ST.
Marys, O., Dam Endangered
Hundreds of Lives.

st. Marys, o., Aug. 25.--E,arly today
the gates at the head of ST. Marys
reservoir We're blown up by dynamite.
The report of the explosion was heard
for miles. Intense excitement prevails.
but every precaution has been taken to
prevent a flood. There are many who
consider the reservoir a menace to the
surrounding farms.
The attempt was made at ! o'clock,
and if it had blown out the entire bulk
head and opened the flood gates hun
dreds of lives would have been lost.
Although a large amount of dynamite
was used, the bank was not broken
so as to give way. Bloodhounds are
with those in search of the dynamiters.
The reservoir is the largest artificial
body of water in 9 world and this
city is lower than water level, so that
intense excitement exists here
Although the damage was limited
mostly to broken windows in this city,
to the wrecking of one house near the
bulkhead, and one stateboat, and a.
partial breaking of the bank, there is
great excitement here, because it is
feared the attempt may be repeated.
The shock was plainly felt at Celina.
at the western end Of the reservoir, a
distance of ten miles. The only reason
st. Marys was not washed away is
that the charge of dynamite exploded
in the abutment stone, which reflected
1t upward. thus saving the lower por-
ton Of the bank.

fact that strong wind was blowing

PEBBLE CAUSES DEATH.
Blood Poisoning Ends Life of Friend
less Harvest Hand.

Howard. 8. D., Aug. 23.-James Murray,
a young harvest hand, is dead from blood
poison as the result OF little pebble get
ting into his shoe and bruisns his foot.
The attending physicians found it impossi-
BILE to save his life.
The unfortunate young man had been in
South Dakota only about month. having
drifted in with number of other harvest
hands. He secured employment on farm
near Canova, and had been working only
a short time when the pebble got into
his shoe and bruised his foot to such an
extent that he had to give up work. He
first went to Canova to see physician.
and decided to come on to Howard. Not
having the money to pay his fare on the
railroad. he walked or limped the entire
distance between the two towns. This ag-
gregated the condition of his foot and
fastened his death. Before death ended
his suffering he stated he had no relatives
or home. and not word as 10 his past
life escaped his lips.
Whether he had always been home

off from home and friends will never be

FARMERS ELEVATOR FAILURE.
Third Years Business Mysteriousl,


Aberdeen, S. D.. Aug. 23-Considerable
dissatisfaction exists among the stock
holders of the Farmers Elevator company
at Bath. The first year the company was
in business 1t handled 67.0C0 bushels of
grain. valued at $4,000 and reaped fair
profit. The second year the amount of
grain handled reached 10000 bushels and
the years business was also reported to
the stockholders as being conducted at a
profit. During the last year the company
handled 10000 bushels of gram, worth $751;
600. 1t is alleged that at ,1ecting of the
stockholders held month ago they were
Informed that the years business had
been transacted at net profit OF l cent
on every bushel of grain handled. 1t now
develops. according to the latest reports,
that there is shortage of something over
$500. 1t is understood the elevator build
ing will be sold and the company will go
out of business, an. arrangement being ar
rived at among those most deeply inter-
ested whereby the affairs of the company
will be wound up without unnecessary de-
lay publicity
