OLE. FRElGHTER RISES
FROM WATERY GRAVE
North Alabama. Sunk in Big Muddy
Below vermiliion in 1870, Appears
Above Surface of Waters,

Vermilion. S. D.. July 13.-The river
steamer North Alabama, which struck
q snag In the Missouri six miles below
Vermtllton thirty-six years ago this
month and sank to the bottom OF the
treacherous stream. together with a
very valuable cargo. yesterday was
seen rising above the murlty waters of
the Big Muddy. and crowds Of sight
seers are docking to the bank to see
the old boat that has been stranded
for so long.
The steamer sank in 1870 while
transporting a cargo Of flour and
whisky from Sioux City to the yell
lowstone district, and while the older
residents remember the incident of It's
sinking, 1t had passed from their minds
until the old ship began to rise from
its watery grave.
There were fifty barrels of fine old
whisky aboard the craft and none OF
1t was ever recovered. and 1t Is quite
probable that Il search of the old
fretghter will now be made in an at
tempt to find the liquor. which would
certainly look good to a lover of that
thirst destroyer with It's added age Of
thirty-six years.

c,eicI Plane of Mining town Higher
Than New York,

Dea'iwood S. D., July 12-Deadwood
Coz SO long the premier mining camp,
i'esents with all the force of its native
strength the insinuation of Assistant
District Attorney Mott of New York
that it is now or ever was below or on
II leve! with the ungodly metropolis of
which he is a representative.
When Harry Thaw was rcmanded to
the Tombs for the murder of Stanford
White, Attorney Mott in response to
y question said:
simply q question OF whether New
York has gone down to the level of a
mining camp or whether man has
got chance for his life"
The vices Of a mining camp are
open: no one takes advantage Of the
innocent and helpless. The typical
clubman,' whose prey is young girls,
would not last thirty minutes in a
mining camp. There is no place In the
world so safe for a woman as one Of
these camps and not. even the streets
Of New: York or the studios of the
wealthy. men can afford, the. protection

What's that you say?" asked Dead
wood Dick, the report Of whose death
has been greatly exaggerated. why,
New York is at the bottom of Dead
woods deepest mine shaft: you might
say down to the 400 level. Out here
we know what's going on and regulate
it; they're assassins down there. This

LION IS CAPT|YATED
BY W0MAN'S SINGING
New York Woman Has Narrow
Escape From Death in Re-
cesses of Black Hills.
KEPT CAPTIVE ALL NIGHT
With Paw on Her Breast, Huge Noun.
tain Beast Forces Mrs. Under
wood to Sing Throughout
the Night.

Deadwood, S. D., July l3.-Kept a cap
tive through an entire night by ferocious
mountain lion, and saved from a horrible
death only by her singing, was the terrible
experience of Mrs. John Underwood, who,
with her family, was camping on the
banks OF Iron creek near Farney peak
one of the widest regions of the Black
Hills.
Mr.. and Mrs. Underwood. with their
three children, came recently from New
York, Mr. Underwood to look after some
mining interests and the family to enjoy
the novelty OF camp life. Just before sun
down Mrs. Underwood started from camp
alone TO meet her husband, who was COM
ing from the mine. Not being familiar
with the country she was soon hopclessly
lost. The night falls suddenly among
these mountains, and just the last flick
er of daylight vanished She was startled
by frightful scream behind her and at
the same moment was borne to the ground
by an immense mountain Ion.
The fall did not hurt her. but as the Wild
eyed animal stood over her and she real
lied her probable fate, she screamed in
terror. The lion lifted his head at the
sound of the echo which her voice awak-
ened and as she saw that his attention
was attracted, 1t came to her mind that
she had read of wild animals being sub
dued by the sound of a human voice.
She began to sing, first in 4 faltering
and uncertain voice, but afterwards more
steadily and clearly as she found that she
could effectually distract the beast
Through the chill night of the mountains
she sang, now gayly. now desperately. all
the songs she had ever heard, while the
immense cat lay in. apparent content with
one huge paw stretched over her holding
her In vise-like grip. She had wandered
farther from the beaten path than she
had realized and it was not until the day
Began to break that Mr.. Underwood. guild
ed by the sound of her voice, found his
imprisoned wife.
A carefully directed shot from his rifle
brought speedy death to the lion and
Mrs. Underwood was rescued, thoroughly
unnerved from her nights experiences but
otherwise unframed. The lion measured
eight feet from tip to tip and weighed not
less than hundred pounds. Mr.. and
Mrs. Underwood broke camp the following
day and with their family returned east.
This is the first lion that has been seen
in the southern hills for years. and the
suppostion Is that it had become enraged
from hunger. as 1t Is very unusual thing
for one OF these cougars to attack per-
son.

The New King Of Denmark.

BY Julius Moritzen, in the Forum,
While the late king never saw his op-
portunty to visit the United States,
his son may carry out a plan long
cherished. In closer touch with this
country, even, than his father, King
Frederick VIII. very recently expressed
the wish that he might see for himself
how excellently the Danes have borne
the banner of reputation into the west
ern world. Commerce with this coun-
try has increased to a very great ex-
tent within the last few years. The
Scandinavian American steamship line
has been augmented by many fine new
vessels recently. Should the king Of
Denmark decide upon such a trip across
the Atlantic there awaits him a well
come here which the Danish Ameri-
cans would not be alone in rendering.
Among the many fluctuations that
reached him on his ascension to the
throne none struck a more sympa-
thetic chord than the message of good
Will which came from the United
states. Hinged with regret, because
passed away, it held out the hope that
the successor to the honors would earn
and retain in equal measure the love
OF the nation and of the world at large.
That King Frederick will strive with
all his might to prove worthy the task
assigned him. there is every evidence.
HIS past performances are an augury
of his intentions. The curtain has rung
down on a royal career the counter
part to which may long be sought in
vain. but. Denmark takes comfort in
the knowledge that the new king has
within him the identical strain. Many
monuments will be reared to the mem
DRY of Christian TX, but giving his peo-
pie the best Of which he is capable will
be the highest tribute the son can pay
his parent. Bronze nor granite never
held their own with truer affection. 1t
will rest with the new monarch whether
this affection shall continue through
the royal Danish lineage.

A farmer says:
1T was not from liquor or tobacco
that for ten years or more l suffered
from dyspepsia and stomach trouble;
they were caused by the use of coffee
until l got so bad had to give up
coffee entirely and almost give up eat
ing. There were times when 1 could
eat only boiled milk and bread, and
when 1 went to the field to work 1 had
to take some bread and butter along
to give me strength.
II doctored with doctors and took al
most everything 1 could get for my
stomach in the way Of medicine, but if
I got any better it only lasted little
while until was almost walking
skeleton.
One day read an. ad. for Postum
and told my wife l would try it, and
-as@te-the- following facts 1 will make
affidavit before any judge:
Il quit coffee entirely and used
Postum in it's place. 1 have regained
my health entirely and can eat any,
thing that is cooked to eat. I have In
creased in weight until now 1 weigh
more than ever did; have not taken
any medicine for my stomach since
began using Postum. Why, 1 believe
Postum will almost digest an iron
wedge.
MY family would stick to coffee at
first, but they saw the effects it had
on me, and when they were feeling
bad they began to use Postum, one at
a time. until now we all use Postum"
