Officer Aid Him in escape.
Sioux Falls, S. D., June 22.-George
Powers, a ranchman living in the in
terror of the great cattle ranges be-
tween the Missouri river and the
Black Hills. had a remarkable and
thrilling experience while temporarily
acting as an officer of the law and in
charge of a prisoner with Harry Tracy
characteristics. Powers was appoint
ed by a justice to take Herb Hill, a
desperate character, to the county Jail
at Oacoma. Many miles of rough
country had to be traversed. The
prisoner was a husky fellow and care
fully watched for an opportunity to
escape. This opportunity presented
itself when the two men were within
two miles of the Stoop ranch. Powers,
never dreaming of danger, placed his
left hand in his hip pocket for the pur-
pose of getting a plug Of chewing to-
bacco. Slight as the opportunity was
the prisoner promptly too advantage
Of it by throwing his arms around his
custodian. Powers was O~verpowered
and Hill succeeded in securing posses
sion of the officers six-shooter. Point
ing the gun at Powers head Hill or
dered him to get up, turn the team
around and take another road leading
across the country in a northwest di-
rection, the county seat being to the
eastward. The two men drove steadily
the remainder of the day and the
| whole of the following night. At day
light they reached Hills home, where
HSn saddled a horse and rode away,
leaving Powers with an exhausted
team and not another to proceed with
in twenty miles. Hill has not been
seen since.

MANY WHITE POTATOES BEING SHIPPED.
FrankfOrd and SelbyvilIe are Important Ship

Your u ncle,
ARTHUR J. Woo

The shipping of white potatoes from
lower Delaware for city markets has
become an important industry, and at
Frankford and Selbyville, two of the
principal shipping points in Sussex
county, one freight train was filed
one day last week. At these two sta
tions the potatoes come in in an almost
endless stream and the growers are
paid in cash from S1.4O to ST. per
barrel. With this big yield growers
are complaining that there is not more
than half crop. When the potatoes,
which are packed in barrels and piled
high on wagons, drawn by mules,
come near the stations, buyers from
Philadelphia and New York Jump up
on the wagons and keep up a spirited
bidding while the wagon is drawn up
nearer the station. White potatoes,
most of which are grown for Philadel-
phia markets, now occupy a larger
acreage in lower Delaware than either
wheat or corn.

BRILLIANT SOCIETY WEDDING AT DOVER

No bride could have wished for a

which favored Miss Lillias Brooks

day evening when she was married to
Lieutenant William G. Tremaine, U.

eight o'clock. Lieutenant Francis A.
Ruggles, also of U. S. Cavalry and
stationed at Fort Myer, was best man.
and Miss Linda May Stevens, of Sea-
ford, was maid of honor. William
Pennewill, of Dover, an uncle OF the
bride, and George Gordon Massey,
we're the usheFs. The groom with his
best man entered the church from the
vestry and were followed by the ush-
ers. Then followed the maid of
honor, wearing a becoming gown of
white mousseline, accordion plated.
She wore a girdle of yellow and car
ried yellow flowers.
The bride entered the church with
her father and was most charming in
handsome lace robe gown over white
silk and chiffon. She wore a veil and
her bouquet was of bride roses and
lilies of the valley. The floral deco
rations around the altar and chancel
were daisies and lilies, the two colors
white and yellow representing the cav
airy colors. No invitations were issued
to the wedding or the reception that
| followed the ceremony at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Kenney on north State
Street, except to a few relatives and
intimate friends. The bride is an at
tractive blonde and is very popular in
Dover and throughout the State. She
took an active interest in social life
and will be greatly missed from the
social functions of the State Capitol.
She received many handsome and val
liable gifts. Lieutenant and Mrs.

Then You Must Master the Elements.

In any course you may choose, you
must first master the elements of those
studies which make you think clearly
and express yourself well, which will
teach how to learn and give a compre-
hensive knowledge of the fundamental
facts and principles underlying your
future work. refer to such studies
as English (both composition and lit
erature), Arithmetic, Algebra, GeOm-
etry, Physics, Especially Mechanics).
After this, you must broaden out and
study further to develop strong and
mastery thinking. To this end you
take up Calculus, French or German
Chemistry, Surveying, Civics, Me-
chanical Drawing, Business Law (in-
Guiding law of contracts) and proba-
bly, the most important, the applied
work as Shop or Labratory. The ex-
perimental work is important in fixing
theory.
You next come to studies which
gives to the well-trained mind the
highest satisfaction--that of the pure
ly technical subjects. The master of
these requires knowledge of the whole
range of the preparatory studies, and
is the beginning of a successful engi-
neering career. 1 have in mind the
study of Applied Mechanics, Kline
matics, Strength of Materials, Their
modynamics. Hydraulics, Heat En-
gines, Bridge Work, Electricity and
the like. These give you mental self
poIse.
But there are personal elements and
traits-your personal equation-that
either add to or take away from the

and money. Many of those who have
been burned out have not cent in
the world and are now without homes
or clothes. The fire spread with such
lightning like rapidity that it was al
most impossible to save anything and
our people became panlc-stricken.
Between the storm, the fire and our
absolute helplessness to check the.
flames, hundreds lost their heads and
rushed for a place of safety without
taking out their personal effects. The
leading merchant in town, FL. Il. Ben
neman, whose loss is over $4,000, had
not a cent of insurance and saved no.
thing. Others carted their furniture
to vacant lots or put it out in the
street, but the wind carried the fire to
it and all was consumed. We need
help and we need it quickly. Every
house in town is filed. We have no
stores to buy food and clothing and
few of those who suffered have money
to buy with, even if the stores were
here.
