An unknown man, whose home
is supposed be- at VOORHEES,, Iowa,
! was run over and killed by freight
train at Ellsworth early last Satur-
day morning. He apparently was a
T iaborer OF about SO years Of age and
the suppositlon is that he. had been
riding on the ''rods :" OF the freight
train and lost his hold and fell un-
derneath. Some of the train men
who were riding in the caboose
heard the crushing of the bones as
he was passed over and the train
!. was brought to stop and the badly
mangled form was gathered up and
taken care OF. The train that killed
him was freight bound south from
Sioux Falls. ..,>.' ..'... '.s'
=. An examination of the man g
clothes produced $31.5o in money
and q notebook in which there
were several names. F. L. Shatfer,
VOORHEES,, Iowa, was the name in
the notebook that indicated the
name and address Of the dead man.
Other names we're George Martin
and - Folk, both Of Voorhies, and
from appearances. they are men
for whom he had been working.
Those names were entered on
Septem ber %, 1904. 'Telegraphic
communication was opened with,
the parties at once, but up to Mon
day evening no response had been
received. i " 81.
The man was stranger at Ellis

than is revealed by the notebook.
"A ooroner's ..inqueet was not held
because from AL appearances, death
was purely accidental. The re-
mains will be held at Ellsworth as
long as requiredsby law in order to
give relatives or friends time to put
in a claim, but il none is made the
county will take charge of the body.

Worthin9ton, we regret to say,
harbors few young dudes-we
can't call them men-who richly

ceive sound thrashings. They seem
to think themselves beaux ideal and
parade hither and thither to exhibit
their supposed charms and perfec-

90 unfortunate as to cross their
path. They attempt to play Prince
Charming with young ladies and
the degree of effrontery and imper-

airs il little less than astonishing.
Inde ed il calls for severe measures.
It seems that a young lady in walk
ing the streets Of our city in lightest
day is not safe from the ins ults Of
these ours. They address our
daughters and offer un bridled in
salts. They do not heed rebuff but
persist in their attentions and even
70 so far al to follow young women
to PLACES Of business or TO their

audience through interpreters, show
ing oratorical ability of no mean
order. On Thursday evening Job
Left Hand and Bob Roberts interpre-
ted the speeches to Mr.. G%oodfellow
who repeated them to the listening
crowds. Friday and Saturday even
ings Ed Swan acted as interpreter.
Ed Swan is cattle inspector for the
Cheyenne River reservation, and
though he has never been away to
school and attended the agency school
only short periods he is very we'll
educated.
On Thursday night Chiefs Hump,
Yellow Owl, Charging Eagle, and
White Bull spoke; Friday evening
Chiefs Hump, Yellow Owl, and White
Swan; and on Saturday, Hump, Buck
Elk Thunder and His Horse Looking.
Chief Hump, in his Thursday talk,
explained how his people had come
form their homes at the request and at
the expense of Mr.. Goodfellow to COM
memorate the event of the Big Dance
given by their fOrefathers across the
river for the great captains, Lewis
and Clark, and ended by requesting
kind and benevolent treatment for his
people while in the city and extending
the hand of friendship to the pale
faces.
Yellow Owl delivered a very 1owery
five minute talk upon the wrongs done
his people by the encroaching pale
faces. Among the many pictures
which he drew from nature we quote
the following, ~regretting that we are
unable to get his exact words: ga
pale face takes up some land and goes
onto it to live. He finds there many
prairie dogs. He and the prairie dogs
cannot both live on the land so he
goes and gets some bad medicine. He
comes back and tries to kill all the
prairie dogs and does kill many. The
rest go into their holes and all gather
into one small place and remain there
close together. They are afraid to
come out of their holes or go away
from the others because of the pale
face and his bad medicine. We are
like the prairie dogs: the pale face
bad medicine and now we are all
grouped together on our reservation.
We are afraid to come out and speak
of our wrongs for fear of the bad
medicine of the %paleface."
During their stay, Mr.. Goodfellow
secured many valuable photographs
and made some warm friends among
them, and on the last morning he
accompanied them to the boat land
ing to bid them farewell, feeling
that their visit had been a success.

During the coming admins
tration the United States will
probably take second place as a
worlds naval power, standing
ahead Of France and second only
to Great Britain. With a con-
gress strongly republican in
both branches and the president
fully alive to the necessity of
having the country adequately
defended on the sea as well as on
the land, we may rely on having
the needs Of the navy receive
prompt and intelligent attention
for the next few year. Forty.
seven vessels of all sorts are now
In course Of construction-14
first class battle ships, 10 arm
Ored cruisers, 5 protected cruis-
ers, 3 scout cruisers and other
war vessels OF different sorts
present the United States
stands third on the list of naval
powers; Germany, Russia, Japan
and Italy are below us. Russia
stood ahead Of the United States
one year ago, and ahead Of Ger.
many, but Japanese torpedoes
and shells have put her in the
rear.
