CYCLONE KILLS FAMILY
Walter John. Wife and Baby Killed
In Dakota CyCIone--Were Former
Residents of This County.

Mr.. Jacob Martin of this city, re-
ceived two sad kilograms Monday
morning, announcing the death of his
daughter, Mrs. Walter John, her hus-
band and baby boy in cyclone which
struck their farm near Plankington, S.
D., last Saturday night. The first mes
sage received was signed by doctor
and said: "Walter is also dead. Come
at once" A second one soon followed,
which explained, the second message
having been sent first, but it was not
received here until after the other. 1t
read: Jennie and baby both killed in
storm, Walter badly hurt. Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin and their daughter Mrs.
John Sell, left on the first train Mon
day for Plankington. The daily papers
simply gave very short account of the
cyclone, saying that family of three
were killed near Plankington in a
cyclone Saturday night. A letter was
received Tuesday addressed to Mr..
Martin from P. E. Bruner, formerly of
this county, which told of the terrible
affair, and it was. opened by Mr.. Lewis
Elwell, son-a-law of Mr.. Martin. 1t
read:
Plankington, S. D., June %, 1905.
Mr.. AND MRS. JACOB MARTIN:
l am sorry to have to write sad news
to you, but for fear the telegram is not
delivered to you as it should be, for the
DR.. took it to town to send from here.
A cyclone struck Walters house about
IL o'clock last night, which took the
house, barn and everything. Jennie
was killed outright, or supposed to be,
and the baby died in Walters arms.
He was pinned down so he could not
get out, and died this morning about
II o'clock. They were all in their night
clothes and were just at the cellar door
ready to go down when the house went
but even if they had reached the cellar
they would have been killed for the
cellar is full of rocks from the founda-
tion. They have embalmed all three
bodies, and the undertaken said they
could keep them until Wednesday at
o'clock, but not good. Now please
telegraph right back SO we will know
it any of you are coming. Of course we
look for some of you. The funeral will
be Wednesday at 8 o'clock.
Ever your friend,
PATIE BRUNER.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter John were for
mer residents of this county, living on
farm south of Decatur City. They
went to South Dakota about three years
ago and located on farm six miles from
Plankington, and were doing nicely
with splendid prospects ahead of them.
The little baby was boy about year
old. Their many friends in this county
are sorely grieved over the tragic death

A CRAVE QUESTION .

Some of our brethren. notably The New York Times. are discussing what we may call elevator politeness," for want of a better term The query in brief form is: Should a gentleman in a public elevator wear his hat when there are ladies rresent? It really doesn't seem an important or vital query, but there are enough sides to 1t to cause considerable pros and cons in the pa- pers
 One side takes the position that A gentleman will not remain covered in presence of ladies if he Is In the room of a dwelling or hotel. or other house. This is granted, of course. but they go further and insist that an elevator fin q store, office or other public building is in the nature of room. and therefore the hat should come off Then comes the other side and insists that such els- vatorS are public carriers. just as street cars and railways cars are. They say that men are not expected to keep hats off when travelling in the cars, and therefore they may wear them in ele. vators.

 The above comes with very bad grace from Birmingham, in view of the action taken there only a short while ago. Then there was talk and only talk about not closing Birmingham's gates against New Orleans. Then the Ala bama authorities had acted as the Geor- gia authorities have in putting on a State quarantine. and 1t was evident that Birminsham's so-called opposition to quarantining New Orleans was talk" because the State would make nc ex- captions. When the State declined to quarantine against Montgomery was the golden opportunity for Birming- ham liberality. It was within its own control whether or not to quarantine this city and it chose to emphasize how 1t was given to talk by shaping on a quarantine. Atlanta has been honest and straightforward. all the way through. Whether it has been prudent is another question. It proclaimed its belief that yellow fever could not exist there and has acted on It., In the face of a State quarantine 1t still holds out an invitation to all who can enter to stop there and it is in no sense indulg- ing merely in talk"
