Ideas for Easter.

"Girls, roses, and pearls are all sis
ters," says the poet. Curiously enough,
all three lose their beauty as time
rolls on. A very pretty custom, which
had its origin about two years ago in
society circles, was for lovers to pre-
sent their fiancees on Easter Sunday
morning with pearls, set in some orna-
ment or other, and a dollhouse rose.
In many parts of Ireland Good Fri
day Eve is regarded as a time of pc
culiar danger. Good people are then
supposed to exercise their malicious
powers for the only time during the
year; and those possessing an "evil
eye" are likewise supposed to be in
exceptionally good form for working
mischief. A nurse who, ventures out
with child is considered monster
and the girls who meet their lovers
that evening win never get married

Burned Editors Property in Spirit of

The closing chapter in sensational
frontier episode is the imprisonment
of Earl l.. King of Lyman county in

a term OF four years for arson il the
third degree.
King, who is the SO nof a promi-
nent resident of Charles Mix county,
was implicated in the burning of some
buildings belonging to E. L. Sem, the
editor of the Iona Settler. The incen-
diarism was due to the aggressive fight

supreme court sustained the lower
court and he was returned to the peni-
Tertiary to serve his time.

Good Friday Superstitions

the idea of lesson in penitential
humility associates itself with the
now obsolete Good Friday custom OF
washing the tomb of one Molly Crime
at Glentham in Lincolnshire, which
was aforetime regularly carried out,
but the association has it's mercenary
aspect in the fact that neighboring
property was charged with the pay
ment of Is each to the washers. The
practice has been abandoned since
1882, and it is said that the appear.
ance OF the tomb and the name of the
occupant now present no incongruity.
That ''hot-cross buns" should be
eaten on Good Friday is certainly not
statutory obligation, vet half the
civilized world feel it bounden duty
to include the bun in the menu for
that day. The Christian significance
OF the cross is ample warrant for the
custom to many.

Platte Insists on Charles Mix County
Seat.
AT the general election last fall
vote was taken in Charles Mix county
on the question of removing the coun-
ty seat from Wheeler to Geddes. Prior
to the vote there was a hot contest be-
| tween Platte and Geddes as to which
should be on the ticket. Platte made
the first start. but Geddes finally sue
ceeded in getting upon the ticket, but
was defeated at the election.
The legal proceedings were pending
at the time of the election, and it
would naturally be supposed that the
| election ended the matter. However,
the question has just been before the
supreme court again On writ of man.
damus to compel the county board of
Charles Mix county to grant the Platte
petition as the legal one.
The purpose of the continuation of
the fight on the part of Platte is on the
contention that the question must be
at the first general election after the
final judgment in the suit and without
further petition than the one in ques-
ton. If the town secures a decision
from the supreme court sustaining it's
position, it hopes to get another vote
on the question of removal at the next
general election, on the ground that
the vote of last year was void and of
no effect.
To allow the matter to go by de-
fault would defeat any further vote for
four years under constitutional pro-
visions. The case, which is State eX
rel T. e. Andrews VS.. o. l.. Boyd ct
al, brings up several points on the
question Of county seat removal which
will be of state wide interest.

WELL-kNOWN CHARACTER DEAD.

Ed Dhabolt of Valley Springs Passes
Away in Peculiar Circumstances.
In the death of Ed Dhabolt, who
passed away at Valley Springs, that
community loses it's most notorious
character Born in Iowa tbirty-four
years ago. Mr.. Dhabolt has spent most
of his life here Or in this vicinity. He
returned to this village about year
ago and opened a pool room, which
soon became famous throughout the
county, especially in connection with
the memorable Fourth of July celebra-
ton held here last year. Yet the man
was not without some good qualities,
and there are a few people here who
will never forget his kindness to them
Early last fall he was taken sick with
severe cough, which soon developed
into consumption. A few weeks ago
he took to his bed, and through the
personal efforts of friend who, years
ago, had led a similar life, but had
changed his ways, the sick man came
to himself and manifested a genuine
sorrow over his past life He had
been very bitter in his denunciation of
a local clergyman, who had opposed
him in working for the local enforce
ment of law, and had frequently made
threats against him. But in his chang
ed condition of mind he sent for him,
and complete reconciliation took
place, the two men becoming as friend
ly as if nothing had ever separated
them
Ed Dhabolt died, begging of his for
mer friends that they would not fol-
low his course of action in the past few
years.
