LARGELY ATTENDED.
Funeral of Mrs. Ray Bradshaw Held
Yesterday Afternoon.

From Thursdays Daily.
The funeral of the late Mrs. Ray
Bradshaw was held yesterday afternoon
from the residence of Mrs. H. G. Ander-
son, mother of the deceased, in Judson,
and was largely attended. Many friends
from this city attended the services.
Rev. M. E. Martinson, pastor of the
First Baptist church, conducted the SER
vices, and the interment was had at
Minneopa cemetery. The floral offerings
were many and beautiful.
An especially sad feature of the flu
neral was the fact that brother of
Mrs. Bradshaw, Charles Anderson, is
down with appendicitis and was to be
operated upon this morning. 1t was this
disease that carried off Mrs. Bradshaw.

FOR HIS GIRLS SUPPORT
JOHN DAHlEN MUST TAKE CARE
OF THE YOUNGSTERS.
F. S. Lewis Gets Verdict for All He
Asked S0mmarviIIe Act Pleaded
BY Wysong Brothers.

From Saturdays Daily.
Judge Cray this afternoon sentenced
John Dahlen for failure to support his
two daughters, Doris and Anna, aged
six and nine years Dahlen had pleaded
guilty to the charge, which was made
by County Commissioner Paddock. The
sentence of the court was that Dahlen
is to pay Mr.. Paddock SIS a month for
the support of the children until the
further order of the court, or else he
will be brought before the court to be
dealt with according to law. The first
payment must be made on or before
Nov. 80, and monthly thereafter.
Judge Cray said that he had been re-
liably informed that Dahlen could go to
work at So day. Humanity alone
ought to suggest that he should do
something toward the support of the
children. The defendant was rooming
over a saloon, he had heard, which is
the worst place in the world for him.
There he could indulge in intoxicants,
and the courts information was that
Dahlen had spent all of his money
there. He must pay the amount named
or 60 to Jail.
The jury in the case of the appeal
of +. S. Lewis from an order of the
probate court in the matter of the es-
tate of Eliza Douglass, deceased, retired
at 4:l0 p. m. yesterday and returned an
hour later with a verdict for Mr.. Lewis
for the full amount he claimed, SI,2l2.ll,
including interest.
The trial of the case of the w. HI.
Lutes company of Illinois VS.. A. L. &
j. r. Wysong was completed this noon,
and each side made motion for an
instructed verdict. The defendants pur-
chased some machinery from the plain
tiff, but not being satisfied with the
manner in which it worked asked for
reduction in price, which was refused.
The plaintiffs were obliged to bring
suit, and the defendants pleaded that
the company was doing business in
Minnesota contrary to the Sommerville
law, which requires foreign corporations
to file their articles of Incorporation
with the secretary of state and pay
fee. The plaintiffs claim that they are
doing business according to the provis-
ions of the interstate commerce law.
The plaintiffs sue for $6l0. The court
excused the jury until Monday noon,
and heard the arguments this afternoon.

Mary had left the room-"we leave you

When you have no longer Mary to pro-

you are alone all the day and all the
evening, you will remember what you

years of age, and you are rich already.

The old man crouched among his pill
lows and made no answer. Mary was
leaving him. But if she stayed he must
give his consent, and then he would lose
the land. Ten minutes later Mary re-
turned, carrying a small bag in her hand.

Her eyes were full Of tears. 81 knew
that l must choose between George and
you. l knew that you would refuse, be-
cause George could save his land if he

1T is sUPERFLuOUs NOISE.
A Warranted British Criticism of Our
Tendency TO "WhoonO


Tendency to "Whoop.o
National idiosyncrasies are reflected
not only in serious pursuits, but in ma
tional games, says the Philadelphia
Ledger Baseball is not likely to be-
come an international sport in which
there is any real rivalry, unless the
nations become endowed with Ameri-
can zest in the rapid game. The Lon
don Outlook regrets that Britons and
Americans cannot play baseball on
something like equal terms and comes
to the conclusion that the American
conception Of sport is hopelessly an
tagonistic to the British at every point.
Englishmen take their pleasures rather
tardy, but the Outlook is not alto
gether astray when it arraigns the
American ball game as Extensively
noisy. 1t generously admits that base
ball Is "a really fine game" in essence,
but the fielders are allowed ito yell At
the man with the club in order to rat
tie him." the spectators are permitted
to make "a diabolical din" for the same
reason; the umpire's decisions. instead
of being submitted to without a MUIR
muir, as Englishmen receive q deliver
ance from the lord high chancellor,
are appealed from 'by circle of yell
ing, gesticulating forms clad like aero
bats"
1t must be confessed that there is
much force in the arraignment. Noise
has become an inseparable incident of
our national game and It may as well
be confessed that public interest in
the sport would lapse at once If pro-
ceedings were conducted In a perfect
ly tranquil, self-composed and ladylike
manner.
Seriously speaking, the outcry of
our British contemporary against mere
noise as a public grievance deserves
some attention. Noise is easily mis-.
interpreted as a sign of vigorous en-.
terprise in all lines of human activity.
There is a hustle Of trade which no
one could suppress. The loudest shout
er is not by any means the most ac-
complished and effective orator. The
best work may be done without great
clamor and uproar. Noise is common
ly associated with the faker, who COW
ers the pinchbeck quality Of his wares
by stridently proclaiming their virtues
Much Of the noise Of the city street is
entirely unnecessary and could be SUD-
pressed without injury to any material
interest.
A society for the prevention of din
would find a fertile field for its benefi-
cent offices. Some years ago the So
ciety for the Prevention OF Cruelty to
Animals in Munich issued an order
forbidding the superfuous cracking of
whips, in order to save the nerves of
horses. Humanity deserves similar
consideration. Happily, the tendency
of civilization is toward the suppress
sion of superfuous noise. In the ousi-
est quarters of some cities wooden
pavements have been laid to quiet to
some extent the legitimate noise of
traffic. The "still alarm" is far more
effective agency for the extinction of
a fire than the dip of many bells.

CHAPTER XIV.

When the harvest was over and the
grain was ingathered, and the work of
the year completed, George began to
make his arrangements. He had receiv-
ed the formal notice and a six months
grace in which to find the money. There
was no longer any doubt possible that
he must leave Sidcote. He had now
made 1t all out in his own mind. There
would be enough money from the harvest
to pay the half-years' interest; the land
would be foreclosed. And the sale of his
farm implements, furniture and every
thing would leave him with a few hun
dred to begin the world again. He would
go to Tasmania, where a man might buy
a small farm and live upon the fruit of
his own labor.

appeal to my uncle We will go togeth-
er, George Perhaps he may relent even
at the last"
They made that appeal at an unfor-
tunate time. To begin with, it was in the
morning. when David was still with his
uncle; land in the second place, it was
a morning when David had been abusing
his position. The redemption value of
the coupons in fact, was at a preposter-
Gus figure and the poor old man, torn by
the desire to get back his property and
by rage at the terrible ransom imposed
upon 1t, was rapidly arriving at the con-
dition In which his nephew loved to see
him, when he lost his self-command, and

When they opened the door they found
the old man trembling and shaking with
the passions of impotence and rage. His
face, livid and distorted, with haggard
eyes, was turned upward in an agony of
sntreaty, to meet David's. There was
no passion In that fact, nor any emotion
except a calm and sober satisfaction,
which might even have been holy graft

to read. He stood over his uncles chair.
