Suicide ON Wedding Day.

Miss Lizzie Henpeck, of Woonsocket,
committed suicide Saturday afternoon
by taking poison. She was found in an
unconscious condition about half past
three and died in a half hour without
regaining consciousness. She was to
have been married Saturday to a Mr..
Kuesler, but the marriage was post.
poned. She had been in poor health
for several years, and this probably was
the III of her rash act. She left a
note saying no one was responsible but
herself. She has been living with her
mother, Mrs. Jacob Moeckel.

Irrigation Booms Land.
Ten acres of grass near Spearfish was
sold this week for 5000 an acre. Any
where along the Spearfish irrigating
ditch the farming land will run from
500 to 5000 an acre. 1t is believed by
the projectors of the Belle Fourche
~irrfgating scheme that land that now
is valued at $50 an acre will be worth
from 500 TO $3.50 as soon as as water is
turned IN. Charles Pierson, a farmer
near Spearfish, with his father own
1000 acres of irrigated land in the
Spearfish valley which at one time was
not worth to exceed $40 an ache, it is
now worth $500.

Pay for Dead Horses.

A claim has been filed with the sec
retary of state for 1921 for a team of
horses which was condemned by the
state veterinarian for CHAMBERS and
killed. There is an old statute covering
such cases, but as there is no appropria-
ton tor the purpose claims of that class
are not worth much on the dollar.

UP COUNTRY NOTES

that since the crust has form ed
on the snow wolves are slaughter
ing deer as never before. During
the winter, until recently, owing
to the continuous cold weather,
the snow has remained dry and
light and the deer could run IN 1T
better than the wolves. But now
that the snow has crust on it
the Wolves-have the advantage.
They run lightly while the hoofs
of the deer strike through to the
ground. When a wolf goes after
deer now the result Of the chase
is certain. The deer stands no
show of escape. 1t is said that
the wolves, which are very gaunt
and savage, having had a famine
of their own this winter, seem to
kill deer for the sake Of killing,
They kill more than they need to
satisfy their hunger at one time
if the opportunity exists.

Ripple Editor Will Be First
Mayor Of the Village of
Big Falls.
BOOM OF BIG FORK TOWN BE
GINS In EARNEST.
s. j. Lachapelle Says the Itasca
County Town Will Boom
the Coming Year.

S. J. Lachapelle, one of the
pioneers of the Big Fork country,
lis in the city today from the Big
Fork country looking after some
business matters. The season of
the year approaches when people
up the Big Falls way must make
their final trips to Bemidji over
the winter road or go out over the
! Canadian Northern from Koochi-
ching and Mr.. Lachapelle says
Bemidii may expect many Big
Fork visitors during the next few
weeks.
Ripple is booming says Mr..
Lachapelle and the coming sum-
mer will witness it's growth to a
town Of considerable proportions.
The incorporation of the village
will be accomplished in short
time and it will make rapid
strides from this time on. Posi-
bilities for the various village
offices are already being dis
cussed. Mr.. Lachapelle says
! they have a faculty up the Big
Fork way OF keeping politics out
of their affairs and says the first
officers of the new village will be
chosen with strict regard to
merit. Editor Greeley, of the
Big Fork Compass, appears at
present to be the unanimous
choice for mayor of the village
and will no doubt be elected with
out opposition.
Mr.. Greeley has a happy
faculty ofinspiring lasting friend
ships and since going to the Big
Fork country he has become very
popular. His paper, the Com
pass, is credit to the town and
the versatility and native ability
which he brings to his news
. paper work is generally appre-
ciated.
The equipment for the new
saWmill is being taken in this
week and will be ready for bust
ness as soon as it can be placed
in position. It will be the first
mill of consequence i'll the Big
Fork valley and it's coming is
hailed with delight by the settlers
generally.
New settlers are coming in
very rapidly and there will be
great activity in the building line
this summer. The people up
that way are confident that the
M. & I. will be built through
some time during the coming
year and will be greatly disap-
pointed if work is not begun in
the next few months. The ex-
tension means very great deal
to the country and is believed
since the recent visit of the
/, officials to be an assured fact.

WHEN REFORMERS DISAGREE.

The Hermann commission has
just made report on the seggre.
cation of vice which is attracting
widespreadN attention and which
is not without local application in
most northern Minnesota cities.
The editor of the New World, a
Roman Catholic publication, de
clares- for segregation in the fol
lowing forceful argument:
cit is better to have one large
wound where you can get at it
and cure it, y he said, ethan to
have a m altitude scattered over
the entire social system. | main
tain that the social evil is not
necessary, but it is one thing to
condemn it and another thing to
get rid of it. The peril is one Of
the oldest on earth. For centur-
les the church has tried to eradi-
cate it, but it is still here. Stamp
on it and it merely scatters, local
ize it and it can be controlled.
The principal argument ad-
vanced against the segregation
of vice is that vice is lawless
and when law attempts to pro
tect that which is lawless, govern
ment is always impaired. It is
also urged that any protection of
vice injuries the moral life of a
city.
The one theory seems to lean tc
the practical the other to the
theoretical view of the matter.
The state of Minnesota owns
fifteen hundred thousand acres
of swamp lands in northern Min

tory is properly drained it viii
be some of the finest agricultural
land in the state. What better
reason can the state have fol-
substantial drainage appropria
tions?

ANOTHER DOCTOR TREATED.
State Medical Examiners Decide in Fa-
vor of Black Hills Physician.

Aberdeen, S. d.. Tune 2f.-Dr. n. j.. Me-
Mutt Of Aberdeen, secretary OF the state
board of medical examiners, has returned
from Deadwood, where he has been as a
witness IN the case OF Dr. Herman A..
Dreschler. who was charged with having
violated the state medical law by practice
ing medicine, for some time in this state
without the license required by he law.
The decision is considered one Of more
than usual Importance ~ Dreschler was
practicing in the state before the law
now In effect was passed and openly de-
fed the power of the new law TO stop
him.
TIL technical charge against him was
that OF pretixing the abbreviated title
DIR" before his name in a medical sense.
The jury was but a short tine in deciding
upon a verdict against Dreschler, This is
the first case of the sort tried in the state
on the particular point involved.
