OLD PROSPECTOR DEAD.
In Fit of Dependency He Takes an
Overdose of Morphine.

A Keystone special says: For the
second time in the past six months, an
old timer and prospector of this sec
ton has died by his own hand. The
second victim was James Scott, we'll
known as "Jim" Scott throughout the
southern Hills.
He had been in Keystone for a num-
Der of days, having a deal on con-
corning some mining ground in which
he was interested, but went down to
Hayward and in a fit of dependency
ended his life by taking a large dose
of morphine. Assistance came too
late. He had been 2 resident of the
Hills for the past twenty-five years.

IN JAIL ON SERIOUS CHARGE.
Member of Sioux Falls Fire Depart
ment is Arrested.

Something of a sensation was Gre
ated in Sioux Falls by the arrest of
James Quinn, since last spring a
member of the Sioux Falls fire depart
ment, on a serious charge preferred
by Minnie Olson, a 13-year-old girl.
AS the result of his preliminary
hearing Quinn was held for appear
ance at term of state circuit court
which convenes in Sioux Falls the lat
ter part of the present month. His
bonds were fixed at $780,, but in de-
fault of bonds he has been lodged in
the county Jail.

FUGITIVE CAPTURED.

After a Search of Two Years John

Sheriff Garner, of Bon Homme
county, after a search extending over
a period of about two years, has sue
tceeded in tracing and causing the ar
rest at Belyidere, ILL.,, of Conrad
Houth, alias John Riddle, fugitive
from South Dakota.
} Houth is wanted on the charge of
grand larceny, which subjects him,
upon conviction, to a term in the
Sioux Falls penitentiary. Soon after
being arrested about two years ago
he made his escape from the county
Jail at Tyndall and fled from the state.

GRADERS FAR BEHIND.
Black Hills Extension May Not Be
Finished for Year

A railroad contractor gives his opin-
ion that the cars will not be running
across the reservation into the Black
Hills before next year this time. The
general impression is by those not in
formed that the road will be finished
some time this winter and il is costing
many people considerable hardship for
they are moving out there with the
idea that the cars will soon be rum
ming across the country.
The contractor states that the Mil
waukee is no farther advanced than
the Northwestern. He states that
work on the big bridge at Pierre is
progressing and that it will probably
be done as soon as the road is built
west to Rapid City.

for Hughes is considerably less than that
given Higgins and the Odell faction is
accused of treachery. The only large city
that kept to Republican precedent was
Albany. Hearst made great inroads on
the usual Republican majorities in any
place where there was any considerable
labor element. The farmers stood by the

Elections were held Tuesday in for
ty-two States. and while the results in
n number of instances were of unusual
interest it may be said that generally
speaking there were no great surprises
Throughout the South the Democrat
ic State and congressional tickets have
been elected by the usual majorties.
In the West and East the States that
were aligned two years ago in the Dem
ocratic or Republican columns show no
material change, the Democrats max
ing gains in some instances and the
Republicans in others. The Republi-
cans retain control of Congress by
good majority.
Perhaps the widest general interest
in the elections centered in the remark
able fight for Governor which has been
waged in New York State between
Charles +. Hughes, the Republican
candidate, who throughout the cam
paign has had the support Of President
Roosevelt. and William Randolph
Hearst, who has been running as the
regular Democratic and Independence
League nominee. The latest returns
available at the time this is written
show that Mr.. Hughes, while losing
nearly all Of the principal cities of the
State, was successful by about 10000
plurality. The rural districts brought
abSIt the Republican victory.
Massachusetts has reelected Curtis
Guild, Republican, as Governor over
District Attorney John r. Moran of
Boston, who was the candidate of the
Democratic party, the Hearst League
and the Prohibitionists.
Pennsylvania has elected Stuart, Re
publican, Governor over fusion Oppo-
sition by the usual Republican plural
ity.
Michigan, New Hampshire, North
Dakota, Connecticut, Minnesota, In
diana and Wisconsin have rolled up
Republican pluralities.
For the first time in years the re-
suit in Iowa, on the face of the early
returns, seemed in doubt.
Nebraska shows a Republican plu-
rality. Ohio also shows Republican
gains over the Pattison vote of last
year. The Republicans expect a plu-
rality Of $4,000 in the State.
The constitution of the new State of
Oklahoma will be written by Demo-
Gratis. The Indians voted the Demo
cratic ticket almost solidly. Oklaho-
ma also went strongly Democratic in
choosing delegates to the constitutional
convention.
On the New Mexico-Arizona joint
statehood proposition Arizona voted
against 1t, thus defeating the plan.
The result in Missouri was in doubt
at late hour, the Democrats expect
ing to gain some of the congressional
districts they lost two years ago.
Congressman Nicholas Longworth
was reelected in Cincinnati.
Congressman J. w. WadswOrth. for
many years chairman Of the House
Committee on Agriculture at Wash
ington, was defeated in the \ Thirty
fourth New York District.
The Republicans carried Utah, Wyo-
ming and Washington. and seem to
have lost Nevada, while both parties
are claiming Colorado.
Montana seems to have been carried
by the Republicans and Texas takes
its usual place In the Democratic col
umn.
Congressman Babcock of Wisconsin.
formerly chairman of the Republican
Congressional Committee, failed of
election.
In Rhode Island, James II. Higgins,
Democrat. was elected Governor.

the world and it's doings. Daily she
walks about the garden or sits upon the
porch in sunny weather to chat with
neighbors, to sew or to live over In
memory scenes of long ago. And what
a memory is hers! She was a tiny
maid when the French revolution was
dyeing the cutters Of Paris red, she
was a laughing schoolgirl Of seven
when Tennessee was admitted as a
state to the Union, she was blushing
bride when the great Napoleon coded
Louisiana to the United States and q
proud young mother when Lewis and
Clark tramped over continent to
"where rolls the Oregon" And she
we'll remembers her father taking down
his old gun, shouldering his blankets
and going out to fight the battles Of his
country in the war of 1912.
Though probably the oldest woman
in the world, her intellect is still bright
and keen, as IS shown by the fact that
during the past year her testimony de-
cided a lawsuit and settled the title
to property which was decided over for
ty years ago. Her answers were to
the point, and efforts to confuse her
were unavailing. She testified regard
ing minute details, showing that the
years have not dulled her recollection.
One feels a sort Of awe in talking
with and gazing upon one who has
seen so much and lived so long in this

her carriage is good and her manner
alert. And yet no one can see her and
yearn to live the number Of years she
has.-St. Louis be-Democrat.

EXHIBIT DIAMOND ROOSTER
ATTRACTION PRE-
SENTED AT THE CINCINNATI
POULTRY SHOW.

CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 16.-One of
the most interesting attractions at the
Cincinnati Poultry and Pet Stock ex-
hibition, which was opened here today,
is a rooster, which promises, through
litigation, to become as famous in his
tory as the celebrated calf in the Jones
County calf case The rooster in
question was exhibited in Minneapolis
last year. At the conclusion of the
exhibition he was placed in a crate
for shipment 1t belonged to an eXhib
itor in the state of New York. While
the crate was with others in the ex
hibition hail. Kansas exhibitor acct
dentally struck his hand against the
crate, with such force, that a large
solitaire diamond, valued at $500,
broke from the setting of his ring and
fell into the crate The rooster was
a bit hungry and diamonds, it is said,
always looked good to him, SO he
quickly picked up the gem and swal
lowed it. Then there was great ex-
element. The owner of the diamond
demanded that the rooster cough up
the gem or that he should be killed
All endeavors to make the rooster
produce 1.-The goods" were unavailing
The diamond came his way unsolicited,
and being a game bird he stayed
in with the luck kind fate had thrown
his way The owner of the bird OBJ
jected strenuously to the killing of the
rooster, maintaining that it was not
his fault that the bird had swallowed
the diamond, and that the rooster was
far more valuable than the diamond
for relief and for the last year the
case has been dragged through the
state courts, without any prospect of
immediate settlement The rooster,
meanwhile, has not recorded any COM
plant and does not seem to mind the
trouble he has caused by his greedi-
nees. 1t is now up to the courts to
decide the important question Of "Dia-
mond, diamond, who's got the dia-
mond.'

IT WILL BE ORGANIZED IN NEAR
FUTURE AT ASHLAND,
WISCONSIN.
"Red" Blood 10 Claimed to Be the
Real "BIue" Blood Of
America.

ASHLAND, Wis, Jan. ia socie-
ty that claims the real blue blood of
America, is red" blood, and that the
true American aristocrat is he whose
ancestors owned the soil in America
simultaneously with the founders of
European aristocracy, is being formed
under the auspices of the Wisconsin
Archaeological society. Only persons
of American Indian descent are eligi-
BILE to membership in this exceedingly
exclusive society.
A request has been received from
Charles E Brown of Milwaukee, secre-
tary of the archaeological society, for
the names of eligibles and any infor-
nation of use in the organization Of
the society.
The objects of this society, which
claims to be the first of it's kind in the
world, will be the preservation of In
dian records and relics, and the estab-
ternal feeling among those of Indian
blood.
Milwaukee is said to have several
dozen eligibles, and it is expected that
numerous members can be found in
and about Ashland, some of them
scions of old and respected families.
Throughout the state several hundred
of those eligible to membership doubt
less can be found.
Although at present the society is to
be limited to the state boundaries, it is
expected that it's scope will be en-
larged and that in the near future
Minneapolis and other states Will be
asked to join in the movement

Household Expenses.

Whether it is the home of the multi
millionaire or that Of the humblest
clerk in his employ, the amount of
house should be carefully thought out
and systematized. Many families pre-
fer monthly payments, but for persons
In moderate circumstances it will be
found much more economical and
there will be fewer temptations to run
into debt If everything Is paid by the
week. No doubt the best method Of
all Is a cash basis, but this has its in
cOnveniences. One cannot always find
what Is required in q shop, and the
polite butcher or provision dealer, as
the case may be, suggests that there Is
no haste about the payment; that he
will get the article at the lowest pos
sible rate for you This is a great &C
commodation in these days, when time
Is money to 80 many. Then often
little more Is expended on the article
than would have been necessary had
the purchaser been present. A small
matter Of q few cents on pound
seems paltry sum to fuss over, but
a few cents on several purchases
reach the dollar mark very soon, and
when the accounts come In sometimes
the results Of such a system are ap-
palling If the credit system is fol-
lowed it is very much better to let
things alone when the price Is an I'M
certain quantity.
It Is difficult to form any idea of
what household expenses should aver
age each month, as the tastes and
habits Of individuals vary greatly. An
estimate given recently, based on care
full calculation, seems q very fair one
for an ordinary family's expenditure
for table expenses. From the sum al
lowed for housekeeping one-third goes
to the butcher, to the grocer one-afth,
the same to the dairy; the baker
claims one-ninth, while to the fish
man and greengrocer is allotted one
fourteenth of the amount.-Philadel-
phia Ledger.
