ness two days ago and died, accord
ing to the attending physician. An un-
dertaker prepared the body for burial
1t i was wept over 'by the family, and
yesterday afternoon the funeral ser
vices were held at the Chidester home.
A clergyman delivered a powerful"
sermon, at the close of which those
present were invited to take last look
at the dead.
A relative of Chidester's noticed,
when she looked at the fact, that the
lips were moist. With cry she de-
clared that the man was alive. A
hurried investigation was made and 1t
was discovered that he was breathing.
Physicians were quickly summoned and
sChidester was removed from the coffin.
In short time he had regained con-
seriousness and was sitting up In bed.
He Is now able to walk about the
house, and if no setback occurs, he will
be out attending to business in a few
days. The coffin was taken back to
the undertaking shop.

Chidester has not been told of the
narrow escape from being buried alive
It Is feared that the shock might be
too great for him to bear in his pres

WASHINGTON, Jan: '1z.-It Is said
on what has the appearance Of being
reliable authority that 1t is the inten-
ton OF Senator Deliver Of Iowa to
take charge tn the senate Of the admin
istration bill Tor the better regulation
of railroad rates. as soon as that bill
shall have been prepared and intro
duced. - -
This report, If verified, will present
the Iowa senator to his constituents
in a role somewhat Inherent from that
which he has hitherto assumed. The
hand of the great railroad corpora
tons has been so heavy on the Iowa
public for many years that few men
not outwardly,s att leastr in sympathy
with railroad policies. could hope to
secure high Office. Governor q, Cum
Minis is a notable exception to this rule.
The Burlington system has practi-
cally controlled -they destinies oof the
state for years and its agents In sue
cessive state conventions, nave dictated
candidates on the state and legislative
tickets, and even said who In certain
instances should come to congress.
Mr.. Dolliver for fo1g time was un-
der the railroad SPELL whether he
wanted to be or not, and announce
ment that he has probably undergone
a change of heart may be taken as in
dicating several things; First that
the people of Iowa are in hearty accord
with the president in his determina-
ton that there must be better con-
troll of the railroads than has hitherto
existed. Second, that this home senti-
ment seems likely to overturn the old
time control of the Burlington system:
and, third, that Senator Dolliver wants
to stand where the people stand on this
important question.
1t is such straws as this which show
how popular is the chord which the
president has struck in the railroad
sections of his annual message to con-
gress last month.

GOLD DlGGERs QUIT.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 28.-The al

situated in the Missouri river, near the
mouth of MILESTONE creek in the south
central portion of the state, concerning

deal of excitement among the people Of
that part of the state, have been tenn

had been at work in the "diggings."
The strangers were supposed to be
from Colorado. and only a few weeks
before their departure shipped in a
gasoline engine and other machinery
for the purpose. as they intimated, of
extracting the gold from the sand.
Some of those who visited the scene
of the reported gold discovery allege
that while the strangers were at work
they secured gold dust to the value of
as much as so and $12 per ton from the
sand Which they were able to work.
1t is said that the strangers, prior to
their departure, staked off several min
ing claims, and that they will return
next spring. The machinery which they
recently received, it is stated, was
found to be not of the right sort to ex-
tract all the gold from the sand and
that it would require different machin-
cry to make their venture successful
The alleged gold is contained in the
black sand which forms the greater
part of the bar, and one of the strang-
ers during a conversation with a
Wheeler man prior to his departure,
stated they would put in a small cyan
ide plant in the spring provided the
cost OF such system was not too great.

LEARNING NEW WAYS.

Miller, S: D, Sept. 2s.-Chief White
Ghost, the aged Sioux patriarch; and
his toothless squaw, Lost Goose, led
the dance in an Indian pow-wow given
In the opera house here this week. The
younger squaws OF the troupe wore
curls and smiles as they did their diff
ferent stunts to the dull thump of the
ton-torn the young braves also show
ing a desire to initiate the paleface
actor. although the audience bought
tickets, as was supposed, for an old
feshssSned red mans dance It seems
that the younger Sioux have come to
believe that their walk in life is on the
stage. or at least some OF them have,
SO the opera house was rented and the
season opened with dance But the
continual mixing Of the young Indians
with their white neighbors has de-
stroyed the wild features of the genuine
war dance, which has gone from them
forever. White Ghost, when he discov-
cred that his young men and squaws
We're mixing white features in the
dance gave few more kicks and left
the hall for his tepee in seeming dis
grace and disgust, accompanied by
Mother Goose, who seemed to share the
humiliation Of Ghost, brought upon
them by the white actions Of the young
er members of the troupe. This is the
first time that White Ghost and his
squaw have danced in an opera house,
and it is not likely that they will allow
their young people to draw them into

Young Man Gives Himself UP After
Confessina The Crime

SOnIeSSlnS Gnc Urine.
Custer, S. d., Sept. 26.-Young William
Lawrence Of Deadwood walked into the
sheriff's office here and surrendered
himself to the authorities, stating he
was one of the bank robbers who had
looted the Custer county bank on the
night of September 9. About $4,000 in
cash was taken at that time. When
Lawrence was put in a cell and ques-
toned it soon became apparent some-
thing was wrong. His stories did not
hold together, and he was ignorant of
certain facts which he must have
known if he had had hand in the
robbery. Telephone advices from Dead
wood state that he had been employed
In a cafe in that city for several weeks,
and that the proprietors could prove an
alibi for him. as he was working at the
time the robbery was committed. They
past few weeks had been peculiar and
that he is believed to be mentally un-
balanced as the result of cigaret smok-
ing. 1t is thought that he brooded over
the subject Of this robbery until he ac-
tually convinced himself that he had
had a hand in it, or else that an un-
healthy desire for notoriety prompted
him to the step. He finally admitted,
after being questioned for some time,
that he was not one of the robbers, but
that he had met one of them at Edge
mont. The officers held him as matter
of precaution until further investiga-
ton could be made. He is about 25
years Of age and is said to have served
a term in the Plankinton reform school.

Who Was ar Operator.

Sioux Falls. 8. D., Sept. -23.-One Of
the smoothest swindlers in the history
of the state was arrested today at
Gettysburg, s. D., after securing from
the Stock Growers bank at that place
the sum Of $500 on a bogus telegram:
The swindler's name IS B. v. Durham,
alias r. d. Miles. He gave Miles City,
Mont, as his place of residence.
While in Sioux Falls recently he
picked up a telegraph operator who
was temporarily out of employment.
When he appeared at Gettysburg, Dun-
ham claimed to be stock buyer. He
had the Stock Growers bank telegraph
his alleged Chicago bank as to his
financial standing: The operator con-
federate stationed himself five miles
east Of Gettysburg and tapped the
wire and received the message sent to
Chicago. After waiting about four
hours, the time usually necessary to
get reply to messages sent from
Gettysburg to Chicago, the operator
again grounded the wire and sent a
reply. Upon this the bank officials paid
Durham the sum stated. The confed-
crate had put the authorities next and
ADunham was arrested just as the mon
ey was paid over to him. The cash was
returned to the bank. The swindler is
now in Gettysburg Jail. awaiting a
preliminary examination.
