Belief That Sugar Confers Strength

Time was when we should never
have dreamed of having sweets on our
luncheon, dinner and tea tables. Now
it would be quite extraordinary were
one not to offer these dainties. And,
what is more, we are not merely con-
tent to eat sweetmeats at our meals,
but we consume them at all times and
in all places between meals. 1t was

While there is a charm in the pref

womanhood in it's perfection. The art
of being a woman is indeed a great
one. There are women who always
do things right and there are others
who always do them wrong. How
often do we see this in public?
A woman imagines, often without
reason, that somebody is encroaching
upon her rights. She cuts loose with
a volley of angry words, making her
self intensely disagreeable, whereas
if she had spoken softly she would
have accomplished far more and there
would have been no sting in her

Great Russian Wrestler Says the

Seems to Be True.

Various reasons have been assigned
for the increase in stature and
strength of the modern maiden, who
has most certainly grown uncommon
ly tall and proportionately muscular
during the past few years. 1t cannot
be that outdoor sports, gymnastic ex-
ercises and so on, have stretched her
out and made her as strong as she is,
because her brothers have had pre-
cisely the same advantages, and they

AN AUTOMOBILE BURNED
Was Destroyed Friday Night, but
Who Owned the Machine is
Not known.
Not Known.

An automobile accident happened
at the Jim river bridge, three miles
east OF town, Friday night about
midnight, which resulted in the
burning up Of the machine, leaving
the running gears bare of the wood
work. Who owned the machine or
who wasd irving it could not be ascer-
tanned, and there is more or less
mystery as to its ownership.
Q. II. Krom stated he drove home
about midnight and passed a man
near the Raymond farm who was at
tempting to fix an automobile. de
noticed that gasoline was leaking
from the tank and that it made a
small blaze, and it was evident the
stranger was trying to fix that or
something else, as when spoken to
the driver of The machine merely
said he was repairing a little break.
Later the automobile passed Mr..
krom before he got home and he
noticed that little balls Of fire drop
ped along the road in the wake OF
the automobile. T.. e. Stair vent
to the bridge this afternoon to make
an examination Of the machine, and
he stated that it stood in a position
showing that in attempting to go up
the grade to the bridge the driver
evidently lost control Of the machine
and 1T went of the embankment and
ran into a tree standing near the
edge of the river. The presumption
is that the gasoline tank was broken
and that the tire occurred from the
headlights which were smashed. The
entire machine was consumed, which
made it impossible to secure the state
number of the automobile. 1t was
a Jackson make and Mr.. Stair Thought
it cost about $1,000 OR $500.
What became of the driver OF the
machine is unknown, as it would
seem that he would return to the
city and show some interest ia get
ting the automobile back to the city
but nothing las been heard of him.

AUTO BELONGS TO 1usHA

The mystery surrounding the burn
ing up of the automobile last Friday
evening was lifted Tuesday afternoo
when G. A. Tusna, OF Emery, called
at The.Republican office and informed
the editor that he was the person
mixed up in the incident.
MI. Tusha related his story sub
st%antially as follows: 81 started for
my home at Emery Friday night
about midnight as it had commenced
showing and I didn't want to be
caught away from home with the
machine. The machine was speed
ing at about 40 miles an hour. and l
was having some trouble with the
clutch and the guiding wheel, as a
little pin had been lost from the
latter and made it difficult to stear
the machine. AS / was approaching

town, the machine veered to one
side and ran into a tree with such
force as to throw me aoout Is or 20

and my arms and legs. After ex-
aiming myself to see that { was

spinning around at a great rate.
With considerable effort I turned
the auto back. after stopping the
engine, and got it back ON its feet
again. | tried to back it out, but
the clutch refused TO work we'll and
the engine seemed to be out of order.
but l succeeded in moving 1T six or
eight feet, and then started it up
toward the bridge on the grade. The
machine moved a few feet and then
stopped. l noticed that the gasoline
as leaking and that the sparks we're
flying from the engine, and in this
way | think that the machine caught
fire, and in a short time it was

POLITICS NOT THE MOTIVE
Board of Regents Declare That Pol

Droppers Case.

Aberdeen special: Members OF the
board of regents OF education while
hele to attend the dedication OF the
mechanic arts building of the North
ern Normal and Industrial school.
and to elect an acting president Of
the University of South Dakota. ex-
pressed great exasperation at state
ments appearing i'll the insurgant
press OF the state that their action
in regard to the resignation OF Presi-
dent. Droppers was actuated by politi-
cal considerations. They insisted
that politics had no place In the con-
s%iderations governing them in ask
ing for Dropper's removal q year ago,
or In asking him to retain the posi-
ton. as Temporary president, until
June 20, 1906, but that the sole CON
s%ideration that brought about the nc
ton they had taken was that Of
the welfare Of the institution
and of the young people
OF South Dakota who attend 1t.
At no time have even the enemies
OF DIR. Droppers disputed the fact
that he is %splendidly equipped, edu-
cationally, for the position which he
holds. The chief criticism Of his cor
duct Of the affairs Of the state unit
versity has been that he looks too
much upon the gloomy side Of life;
that he is cynical and pessimistic,
and being so,is not as efficient in the
position Of president OF the universi-
ty as he should be. 1t Is urged
against him. too, that he displayed u
lack sof tact and disregard OF the
wishes of the regents at the time OF
his resignation last year. At the
time his resignation was asked for,
it is stated, the regents informedshim
the resignation would not be made
public until he had secured another
position, and could then leave the
state with prestige unimpaired. In
stead of following this course DR..
Droppers, upon his return to Yer
million. made public the fact that
his resignation had been demanded,
and sought to arouse the sympathy Of
the friends of the university.
That the regents have not been ac-
tuated by malice toward DR.. Dropper
or that political motives weer be-
hind their action is evidenced by the
fact that the demand for DR.. Drop
prs resignation was postponed for
two years after the regents became
convinced another nan could fill the
position more acceptably and with
greater benefit to the school, because
charges, utterly unfounded, we're
preferred against Droppers, and if he
had been removed at that time it
would have reflected upon his career.
In order to avoid this, the regents,
it is asserted, retained him in the
presidency for two years longer.
