A Family Catch in South Dakota.

As we were going down town the
other forenoon we saw family and
appendages catching chicken for din
ner. There was the man, the woman.
the big daughter. the ter-year-old boy,
the baby. the dog, and great hula
balloo of q racket. The initial move
was an ear Of corn, with which the
man gently and slowly strewed the
ground at his feet. Then there was
the poising and the quick grab, which
gave no return but tail feather or so.
And then the cry: Run him down"
Instantly every one was in motion.
The young rooster cut across the gar
den, followed hy the dog and the man.
The prey dar.ed through the. .lath fence;
the cur bumped his nose against il: the
man changed his course and crashed
through the gate into the barnyard,
tie baby fell down in the mud puddle,
the mother shook her apron and
screamed. The small brother circled
the haystack in pursuit, the big daush-
ter sboo'd with her everyday hat, the
neighbors gaped out Of their windows.
On went the furious race until finally
tie painting bird rail- his head into the
haystack to get out of sight and was

be administered and murder will be
punished. At the present term of the

fifteen homicide cases, and OF this
number four were convicted.

PLATr PROVED POOR WITNESS.
Hannah Elias Discharged In Court
and Prosecution Was Kissed.


and Prosecution Was Kissed.
At New York Friday afternoon, Han
nah Elias was discharged in court on
motion of Assistant Attorney Rand,
acting for District Attorney Jerome,
at the conclusion of the testimony Of
John R. Platt, the aged millionaire,
who caused her arrest for extortion.
Mt. Platt proved disappointing Wit
ness. To questions bearing directly
on the charges, on which the wooan's
arrest had been made, he answered re-
peatedly: 81 don't KNOW"
His helpless and his apparently un-
reliable memory surprised those who
attended his examination. He did not
remember whether he had given the
woman large sums of money during
the past ten years, as charged, and did
not remember signing certain OF the
papers in connection with his charges
against her. The ordeal was trying
one for the aged man and his replies
became scarcely audible toward the
last. AS soon as he had left the, wit.
ness chair, Assistant District Attorney
Rand said:
Your honor, I think the parties to
this miserable scandal ought to be al
lowed to stew in their own grease.
There Is no evidence before you that
will possibly serve to hold this woman
on a charge Of extortion. recon-
mend that she be discharged
The magistrate thereupon discharg.
ed the woman.
Immediately aiterward the Elias
woman was rearrested on a writ in
the civil suit brought against her by
Mr.. Platt to recover s65S,e00. She was
released few minutes later on $780,
600 bail. -
Several thousand persons, among
them hundreds of negroes, attracted
by the case, thronged the building and
stood crowded in the streets outside.
When Mr.. Platt, feeble and trem.
bling and apparently dazed was
helped out of the crowd hooted and

Little Use For Wheat.

of sweets and cakes the use OF wheat

Ihinos Political.

In q little more than week the
regular campaign humbug will begin.
Although the only state Office Tor
which there appears to be more, than
one candidate Is that Of railroad com
missioner, full series of forty-one
meetings has been arranged The. state
executive committee passed a res0lu-l
ton indicating that it was not CON.
templated that the candidates, where
there was no opposition, shodld attend
all of the meetings, yet there is the
entire series Of meetings staring the
candidates in the face. 1t Is wrong.
The chances are that ali Of the cam
didates will be present at the Sumter
meeting to tell the people how happy
they are that they are running without
opposition, and thst they will be pleas
ed to serve the state tor another two
years.
All of the state house of2cials have
their work to attend to in Columbia,
and they ought to need no excuse other
than their work in their offices, and
if a state house Official can .atten1 the
meetings without neglect to his work
in Columbia, it would tend to indicate
that there is comparatively little to be-
done here at this or any other time.
The campaign this year will be with;
out especial interest, except as to the
offlco of railroad commissioner, for
which place half dozen candidates
have already entered. In several OF
the congressional districts, there prom
ise to be lively fights, and in the judi
cial districts some of the solicitors viii
have to hustle for re-election, but as a
general rule this appears to be dis
tinctly an of year in politics s-Thc

Tobacco Crop Relesated.

There is a marked decrease in the
acreage of tobacco planted in the Flor
ence section. Cotton is by great odds
the favorite. Some of the farmers have
"cut out" the tobacco crop altogether.
Last years low price of tobacco and
high price of cotton is what brought
cotton back to its former place in the
public favor.
Oats are being harvested, and the
farmers seem satisfied with the yield.
This crop is regarded as the very
king of forage grain crops. Coming
off at this season, it can be followed
by peas, corn or potatoes, thus making
two important crops on the same land,
and with but very little work.

dead. With wild cry she raised his
head to her breast. calling his name.
Horace! dear Horaces only look at

Then she looked around for help.
There was no house in sight. Mrs.
Dayton was not a woman to spend
many moments in useless grief. She
soon recovered her presence of mind.
Her vinaigrette was hanging at her
| belt. and she tried its effects.
Her companion was only stunned,
and in a few moments be was able
| to feel her hand OH his brow, hear her
voice in his ear. He kept perfectly
still. his eyes closed and his breathing
low. The most delicious ecstasy was
holding him quiet The low, sweet
voice, which would never before speak
one word of preference for him, was
now murmuring, tenderly:
Horace! dear Horace! speak to me
once morer'
A tear fell upon his face. He opened
his eyes. The next moment he re-
GREETED it. for he found his head on the
grass. and Mrs. Dayton at least five
feet from him."
"Are you hurt?' she asked. quietly.
Had he been dreaming? Was this
the voice that had said: Horace!
dear Horace%'
He sat up. He was not hurt, only
stunned, and in few moments he
stood beside her. Her veil was down,
and he could not see her face.
"HoE are we to get homer" she
asked, pointing to tho dead horse and
broken carriage.
Her voice trembled now. and as the
wind blew aside her veil, he saw that
her eyes bore traces of weeping.
Horace forgot his wager. forgot their
awkward predicament. forgot every
thing but his love, and he poured 1t
forth in broken, passionate words. Her
heart throbbed high with ecstasy, for
she was too great an adept in the art
Of Irritation herself not to be able to
tell the voice of real feeling. Yet,
as he went on, the scene with Mrs.
Harrington occurred to her, and she
stifled back the eager welcome her
heart gave his words, and said. coldly:
Enough, enough. Mr.. Cooke! I am
sorry to cause you the loss Of $500, but
Mrs. Dayton cannot accompany the
European party as Mrs. Cooke"
Stung to the quick, Horace stood
silent for a momant; then he said, in a
low voice:
