CARNEGIE TWICE REFUSES
Watertown Must Put Up $4,000 if It
Would Have a $4,000 Building.

WATERFOWL, S. D.-Citizens- Of
,Watertown are patiently waiting to
learn when the new Carnegie library
IS to be erected. In the beginning MI.
Carnegie offered WATERFOWL $4,000 for
a building. The city council thought
the sum insufficient, and asked him for
an. additional $4,000. The request was
refused, and later the city again asked
for the additional sum after submitting
plans and specifications and purchasing
a site. Recently a letter was received
from Skibo castle, Scotland, again re-
fusing. The executive committee Of
the library has asked the city council
to appropriate the necessary money,
and expec citing such an action, citizens
petitioned the council against it.
j The council will hold special meet
ing on Monday evening to consider
whether or not it will appropriate
enough money to cover the difference
between. the $4,000 given by Carnegie,
and the amount which the present plans
call for-about $4,000. The library
board believes that a city the size Of
Watertown should have a $4,000 build

NOT DOWN ON PROGRAM
INSANE GIRL JUMPS OVER THE
FOOTLIGHTs OF A DULUTH
PLAYHOUSE.

Duluth, Mimi, Sept. 17.-"Now T
have got you,' dramatically exclaimed
pretty l9-yearold Hilda Olein at the
Bijou Family theater last night, when,
after brushing past the doorkeeper, she
ran the full length Of the playhouse,
vaulted over the footlights and sud-
denly thrust her face between the long
chenille curtains.
Manager Maitland Of the theater
sent a hurry call to the police station,
and with the stage manager, mounted
to the platform to restrain the young
woman. They talked soothingly to her,
and managed to secure incoherent re-
plies to their questions, gaining time
until the bluecoats arrived.
She was placed in a padded cell,
where she raved constantly, and it was
necessary to restrain her to keep her
from dashing her brains out against
the wall. The police have ascertained
that the young woman comes from Rush
City, Mimi, and that her alteration is
due to religion.

Their demand that they surrender was
promptly obeyed, tho the prisoners
were heavily armed. Two or three

they were about to board an Iowa Cen

Mrs. Day returned home several days

intercession that the doctor was led to
forgive and welcome home the preacher.
But citizens of Broken Bow are not
disposed either to forgive or to welcome
Mr.. Morris. Instead, a mob formed last
night and prepared to tar and feather,

Officers, however, contrived to get the
preacher out of the way of the mob, and
to induce it to dispense.
This morning thirty prominent ,citi-
