| Mrs John Holman and children of
Yankton, S D. who have been visiting
| relatives here for about month, left for
their home Monday.
| LO Brictson returned from Mexico
! last Monday where he had been to see
his fathers ranch. Lewis was on horse
back six days and during that time COW
cred 359 miles. 1t can be seen by his
appearance that the temperature there
| is considerably hotter than it is here and
| he is several shades darker than when
| he left.
Word comes from Cottage Grove that
16 year old son of Ole Olson Fosheim
was badly bitten by broncho. He went
to the pasture for another horse which
he sought to capture when the broncho
attacked him and badly chewed his arm,
decorating the flesh and muscles. The
father and hired man came to the rescue
and doctor was sent for who sewed up
the wounds.
Nels Holman rendered his resignation
| as supervisor to the village board last
Wednesday evening, which was accepted
| and A G Brictson was elected in his
place. The election of Mr. Brictson was
good one, His qualifications, exper-
! fence and genial personality will make
him a useful member of the county
| board, and the interests of the village
| will be safely guarded.
Annual Reunions.
The tenth annual reunion and bust
| ness meeting of the Rock County ex. Sol
diers and Sailors Union will be held at
Milton Junction, August 18th, 1905. A
good program will be given. Let every
ex-soldier and sailor in the county and
as many as possible from adjoining coun-
ties avail himself of the opportunity Of
fered to meet old comrades, renew old
acquaintance and enjoy good social
time. Let everybody come.

Rigby stayed on the road. He Stunned
the theater and closed his eyes to the

Waters that Are Magnetic.

A reputable scientific publication Is
sponsor for the statement that there
exist in at least three places in the
State of Indiana springs or wells
whose waters possess marked magnet
ism and are able to impart it to steel
objects dipped therein. This property
has been reported of other springs in
various parts Of the world, but such
tales have been received by scientific
meA with caution.
III this case the magnetism seems to
arise from the fact that considerable
quantities Of carbonate of iron are dis.
solved In the water When Ii stands
for some time this decomposes into
carbonic acid gas, which escapes, and
magnetic iron oxide, which falls to the
bottom of the containing vessel as a
powder. When the decomposition has
ceased the water is no longer mag
netic.
These springs are said to cause per-
ceptible deviation of compass nee
die, and a knife blade immersed for
five minutes in one Of the springs is
magnetized sufficiently to sustain nee
dies by its point, retaining this prop
erty for thirty hours. The water cor
rodes locomotive boilers, but when al
lowed to stand still till the carbonate
has all decomposed can be used with
impunity.

/
the Hcadgear.
THAT little skit about the crusade
being made against the hat may
sound all right" said q man who be-
lieves In the habit Of wearing hats, ac-
cording to the New Orleans Times
Democrat, "but there Is another side
to the question. The fact Is that the
hat came into the life Of human kind
to answer a great purpose, from my
way of looking at it Put in simple

just as the coat and the shirt have
taken the place of hair on the back

bring on colds, neuralgia and rheuma-
tism, and | know many men who can
not sit in their offices with barred
heads. Colds and catarrh, and things
of that sort, 1t is urged, are of micro
bian origin and cannot come from the
scalp. Hence, they come from outside
sources during the unnecessary expos
ure of the head.

not believe any such thing OF course,
there are instances where the hat
wearing habit may be, and is, abused.
But 1t is not always safe to rise from
an isolated fact to a general PROPOSE
ton as a Misslssippian put a sound
rule Of logic. My own view Of the
matter Is that the hat Is not only a
good thing at this point In our history
and development, but that II Is an abb
solutely necessary article. The uncov-
cred head could not now stand either
the heat of summer or the cold OF
winter. 1t must be protected, Just as
we must protect other parts of the
body. Do you think for one moment
that we could stand to go around with
our limbs uncovered during either the
hot or the cold season without suffer
Ing the consequences? Not much
Eve cannot put the hat aside at this
particular point In our history for
ldentically the same reason. The hat is
an artifcialty, to be sure. So are
shoes, 30 Is the coat, the trousers we
wear, and every other kind OF apparel
known TO our kind. But we have
grown into these things and need
them"

Propress of American Press.

In addition to It's other distinctions
the year 1904 marks the completion Of
two centuries since the first American
newspaper was started, says Leslie's
Weekly That paper was the Boston
News Letter, whose publisher and
editor was the postmaster of that
town. Although the News Letter con.
sisted Of q sheet of only inches by
1917, printed on both sides, 1t was the
only paper that Englands colonies In
the new world had for over decade
and a half. Philadelphia got the sec
Ond paper established in America and
New York got the third All these
were technically weeklies, but often
In the early days there were intervals
OF two or three weeks between their
successive appearances, The first
daily paper in the new world was the
American Daily Advertiser, printed In
Philadelphia. After nearly u century
| appeared on this continent-or In 1900
there were only fifteen dailies and
100 weeklies in the United States.
The contrast between those days
and today is striking. There are "a,
600 newspapers and periodicals of al
sorts-weeklies, semi-weeklies, tri
weeklies, monthlies and quarterlies-
| published in the United States in 1904
OF which 2,400 are dailies and 10000
weeklies. Any one or two or three

7. 0. Whites Revenge on His Wife
Who Was Seeking Divorce.

Pendleton, Ore, June 25.-As Mrs.
T. Q. White, her year old daughter
Grace, and her nephew, a 16 year old
boy named Norton. were driving from
this city to the Norton ranch 10 miles
west of Pendeton. the husband of
the woman rode up from behind the
rig until even with the seat upon
which his wife sat and without a
word leveled a revolver at her and
hred five shots in quick succession.
At the first shot the woman receiv-
ed wound in the left wrist and fell
into the bottom of the rig. Two more
bullets also took effect and caused
wounds in her back. None of the
wounds, however, proved serious and
with proper care Mrs. White may re.
cover.
The boy, who was driving, received
a flesh wound in his left knee, which
is thought to have been caused by the
bullet which strucn Mrs. Whites arm,
glancing to his leg.
After White had fired upon his
wife he evidently concluded that she
was dead and turning his horse rode
back toward the city about a quarter
of a mile, where he dlsmounted from
his horse and after reloading his re-
yolyer placed it in the middle of his
forehead and blew his brains out.
