den Death," and entered his sigma
ture as such in II hotel in this city.
The other crook has evidently some
connection with the ostrich family for
he swallowed the Key to the suit case
containing the stolen coat and does
not seem TO be worried owe q prOba-
ole attack OF appendicitis.
In circumstances OF The theft
are the following: Evans and Cun-
MINIS stole the Overcoa1 belonging to
The sioux City maj lIUm the hail IN
the Eureka hotel in this city. The
theft was at first lald AT the door OF
innocent parties and the police went
on a wild goose chase Tor a day
before IL was discovered that they
we're on the wrong track.
A tip from a young man acquain.t-
ed with the circumstances put the
officers on another trail and they
rounded the young crooks up at the
Clifford holel. The informant OF the
police had seen the thieves put the
o%vercoat ina suit case at the Clifford
where they had engaged rooms.
The police rounded up the thieves
at the hotel. and thev stOully denied
having amy knowledge OF the crime.
A demand was made lol the key to
the suit case and each party was
searched for it without avail. Po-
iiceman Voelch heard some kind of a
gutteral tone and looking at his
prisoner saw him swallowing some
thing that seemed To 20 down with
difficulty. 1t vas found u later
that the young prisoner hau swallow
ed the key to the suit case and the
prisoner himself admitted ii 10 the
court yesterday morning in such a
manner that it seelus he is used to
such stunts.
The suit case was finally opened
and the overcoat was found INSIDE.
After the conviction OF Evans and
and the overcoat was re-
turned to the Sioux City man. the
owner OF tue coat made the police a
present of SIS to shcw his %apprecia-
tion Of their labors. The So was
promptly handed over to the young
who put the police Oh the right

safe:' but the signal was not under
stood. Snt now from the relief camp
was giren the signal that had been
agreed upon between Sir James Ou-
tram and Kavanagh. A flag was raised
on the Alum Bagh.
Then Mrs. Kavanagh was told that
ner husband had passed through an al
most impossible journey and had sud
denly become a hero.
kavanagh guided the relieving army
to Lucknow. He was the first man to
enter the city and was received with
shouts of welcome by the starving a
fison.
There is one part of the story that
can never be written-the meeting be-
tween the husband and wife who,
when they last parted, had been but
ordinary mortals, bnt who now were
singled for congratulations and honors.
From that day the wife was Mrs.
Lucknow Kavanagh.
But there is another, a final, scene to
the story. AT Windsor castle the SOW
ereign of England, Victoria, surround
ed by the royal family and attended by
her bodyguard, holds in her hand a
cross made of gun metal. A man adj

to his breast. He is the first civilian
ever to be decorated with the Victoria
cross-Tfenry Kavanagh.

Dates May Conflict Again.

Sioux City journal: The matter
OF the selection OF the dates for the
next Interstate Live Stock Fair has
been an interesting topic of CONVEX
sation among business men since the
return OF the lair associatiUn's COM
mittce from the annual meeting of
the American Association of Fairs
and EXpositions in Chicago last
week. The universal opinion seems
to be that the only choice left for
the Interstate association is to take
the week following the Minnesota
state fair. This is the week of Sep
TENDER 10 to Is, which was demand
ed 10y the South Dakota fair people.
The prospective conflict of dates is
generally regretted, but the ruling
opinion is that the exhibitors and.
horse owners are entitled to some
consideration, and that they are
looking for big fair to go to after
the Iowa and Minnesota state fairs.

nuisance. One might as well live in

WEsTPHALIAN WITCHES.
All the Victims Who Died at the
Stake Had Red Hair.

Soest, in Westphalia, Prussia. was
the Salem of the European witch burn
ing era, and, by the way, the witch
craft delusion lasted for three or four
centuries longer there than it did in
the colony of Massachusetts Bay. The
judicial tribunal before which all West
phalian witches We're forced to appear
vas called the vehm=gericht and was
composed of the most superstitious set
of bigots in the province. The trees are
still standing under which this witch
trying congress regularly met Oh the
commons Of Soest, and the records Of
their proceedings are still to be found
In the archives at the town hall.
One of the most noticeable things in
bigotry and blind superstition is the
fact that the pages upon which are
written the proceedings of in
which the accused were condemned to
the stake are all adorned with locks of
the culprit's hair. The individual hairs
Of this queer collection of tufts exhibit
all the variations usually noticed in
such assortments, being long and short,
coarse and fine and straight and curly.
In one very characteristic feature, how
ever, that of color, all the locks have
the same general appearance, being
uniformly red.
1t is passing curious, to say the least,
that in a country where red hair does
not predominant all the witches execut-
ed during a period covering several
hundred years should have had red
hair.

MOVE FOR COUNTY OPTION
Three Temperance Organizations il
the State Will Try to Secure
Such Legislation.
Such Legislation.

Wednesday afternoon representatives
from three temperance organizations
in the state met in this city for the
purpose Of laying the foundation for
securing county option through the
legislature for South Dakota.
The A%nti-Saloon League was rep
resented by Rev. A. e. Carhart,
Rev. j. s. Surbeck and Rev. T. FL.
Youngman, the Prohibition party
by Quincy Lee Morrow. of Bookings,
DIR. e. v. Templeton, OF Woonsock-
ct, and Rev. Z. W. Greene, of this
city; the w. G. L. U. by Mrs.
Luella A. Ramsey, Of Wuonsocket.
president Of the state union, Mrs. A..
b. Smart, Of Washington Springs. and
Mrs. r.. a. Bidwell, Of this city.
The three associations will work
along the same line and their efforts
will be banded together in trying to
secure the Passage Of the bill which
will make it possible for the entire
citizenship Of the county to vote on
the granting of saloon licenses at any
point in the county-that is to say
the people OF the country are to have
a voice whether Intoxicating liquors
shall be sold in any town in the
county.
A committee of three was selected
composed Of Mr. Morrow, Mr.. Car.
hart and Mrs Ramsey to arrange for
the introduction of the bill before
the session OF the legislature in Jam
uary, 1907. Three attorneys are to
be employed to draw the bill so as to
make it %presentable and not subject
to too liberal Interpretation on the
part of those who might be opposed
to tile bill should it become a law.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
The American Coal Trade.

II the rate of increase which has
characterized the coal industry in the
United States for the last ten years or
the average rate of increase for the last
fifty years should be continued what an
enormous output the next ten years
will show! 1t will be ten years hence a
tonnage in excess of 7OO,OOO,OOO per
annum. This amount is so great that
one may we'll question if the railroad
facilities of the United States will per-
nit of such a growth. The whole
freight traffic of the country today Is
1,40O,O0O,OOO tons. This includes dupli.
cation of tonnage to the extent of hun
dreds of millions, through cars Of
freight passing over two or more roads.
1t may be questioned if the actual ton
mage of commodities handled by the
railroads exceed in weight 7O0,O00,O00
tons. as so many shipments are counted
in the freight traffic of from four to six
railroads. There are some arithmetical
progressions which soon reach the
bounds of absurdity. Possibly the per-
centage increase in coal output, which
the records of the past Indicate, is one
of these. At any rate, the figures are
phenomenal, indicating by the year
1909 an annual tonnage of sol, 100000
tons. Who can deny the potentialities
Of the coal trade?-F. e. Saward in En-
cheering Magazine.

The following from the Sioux Falls
Press refers to a young man who left
Mitchell a short time ago. Cummins

A traveller in Egypt writes: with all
its heat and dust the desert has its

amiction. for when certain evil winds
blow the desert is shrouded in dust
vast swirling clouds through which no
eye see. But when the dust storms
have blown over and the desert fs
calm again you forget the dust, for
the desert dust is dusty dust, but not
dirty dust. Compared with the aw.

DUST I'M U EYES.
We at Time. Collect Curious Thing.
Without Looking For Them.

We Mt Times Collect Curious Thing
Without Looking For Them.
Few people are aware. says Fred w.
Saxby in the Strand Magazine, that
we are all constantly collecting curl
Gus things without looking for them:
In the very act Of looking up at the
fleeing spectacle of a fiery orb the
reader with the big, wide open eyes
may easily receive liz one of his own
orbs a tiny sphere from afar that was
produced in a glowing streak of light
like the n he is admiring.
Meteoric dust is ever falling and up
on all parts of our planet. The little
spheres have been found upon the
decks of ships far out at sea, in all
the deserts Of the earth and on the
tops of snow clad mountains. Dredg-
ings brought up from the silent depths
Of the ocean give testimony Of their
universal presence. The particles all
contain iron and are easily collected
by the magnet from the roof Of any
clubhouse or other place exposed di.
rectly to the sky.
Seafarers are sometimes pelted with
dust of quite a different kind, compos-
ed Of the microscopic ainty skeletons
of beautiful plants called "diatoms."
These tiny plants live in both salt
and fresh water and occur in enor.
nous numbers in some localities. DC.
casionally water courses and inundnt-
ed areas dry up, and the f1inty shells
of the diatoms which grew there are
blown about as dust. There are sew
eral instances on record of diatoma-
ceous dust falls at sea. During the
thickest part of the fall the sailors
have experienced much pain in their
eyes, the Inflammation being caused
by the little ainty shells.
