conductor saw the man stagger out
from a string of cars on sidetrack
and fall across the main track. and be-
fore the conductor could bring his train
to a stop one set of trucks had passed
over the PROSTATE form of the man,
crushing him horribly and causing in
stant death.
Identification was made possible by a
package of cards in his pocket and a
ticket for Sioux City which he had pur-
chased, evidently it having been his in
tention to board the train for that place
when he fell in front of the moving.

but had decided to go to the city and
had gone around in the morning bid

been one of the most profitable seasons
ever experienced by the farmers in this
part of South Dakota. The harvest of
fruits especially has been wonderful.

ries consisted of H. 900 quarts. They
were among the largest ever produced
in this section OF the country. His
harvest of blackberries amounted to
5000 quarts, while his cherries consist
ed OF 1,4oO quarts, and apples some 400
bushels of the Wealthy and Duchess
varieties.
From the fruit farm of Daniel Dick
inson Mr.. Dickinson marketed $4,000
quarts of strawberries, and he picked
some $4,000 quarts of raspberries from
six acres. In one day ninety-eight
cases, or 1852 quarts, were picked.
From this station fifteen carloads of
melons have been shipped, and toma-
toes and cantaloupes have been shipped
by the hundred baskets. Wheat, oats
and flax are a heavy crop.

Jail for a few days, or until requisition
papers can be secured from Governor
S. II. Elrod to give him into the hands

was served, but Ritter refused to cross
the South Dakota line into Iowa until

for more than their face value This is
not his first violation of the law, it is
said, although in other scrapes in some
manner he has avoided punishment.

MORAL IN THAW CASE.
did This Man Sin, or Did His Par
ents?"

All the persons Immediately con
cerned in the late New York tragedy
appear to stand or to hav. stood on a
plane of life where no man or woman
of wholesome impulses can possibly
desire to stand. The point in the
whole affair with which most people
will be impressed is the utter worth
lessness, the immeasurably democrat
izing tendencies, of wealth when its
uses are not controlled and directed
by the common sense and common
decency that are characteristic of any
life, rich or poor, that is worth living
at all, says the Chicago Chronicle.
In this case young Thaw, allowed
to grow up without the faintest sense
of responsibility, without respect for
authority, undertook, in the midst of
a society in which very few see things
as he saw them, to use his wealth af-
ter the fashion of the coarser of the
profligates of old Rome.
All traceable in large degree to the
indulgence of this mans parents, in
diligence which amounted to laziness
and neglect rather than any con-
sciously bad purpose, this affair Laws
profoundly sinister emphasis on the
prevalent parental habit of our day
of Indicating authority. The most
unreasonable paternal despotism and
cruelty, the most tyrannical denial
of the sons natural rights could not
possibly have ended in disaster more
contemptibly shameful than this.
Riches enabled this young fool to giId
his profigacy, but it was not riches
that made him vicious and useless.
He became such because he was not
taught to be other.
The same kind of son of a poor
man, similarly allowed to grow up
like noxious weed, would become
similarly vicious, except as necessity
to earn livelihood might force him
more nearly into harmony with his

Bandit Holds Up Stages.

Five Yosemite valley stages were
held up late Saturday by a lone high
wayman, who obtained a considerable
amount of jewelry and money. The
conveyances were halted in rapid
succession at a curve in the road
near Advance, at the identical spot
where lone bandit operating a year
ago relieved several wealthy tourists
|of their valuables.
The stages were, travelling sufficient
ly far apart to avoid each others
dust and when the first vehicle reach
ed the turn in the road the highway
man, whose features were completely
hidden by buster thrown over his
head, stepped cut, pointed gun al
the driver and commanded him to
halt Some of the WON IN passengers
screamed, but others began wildly to
secrete their valuables. The highway
man directed all passengers to throw
out their money and jewelry and
when the order met with compliance
he directed the driver to move on.
The second stage arrived within
few minutes after the first and the
driver and passengers suffered a SINH
lar experience. The process was re-
peated until all five had been halted
and robbed, when the bandit disap-
peared in the brush.

Be Cautious This Year

The present weather, indeed the
weather this season thus far and for
a full year. has not been healthful.
The winter was too tickle, and had
too little really cold weather to fully
clear the atmosphere and the earth's
surface OF The unhealthful conditions
and the spring and summer thus far
are too changeable Aside from the
other conditions, the uncertain wealth
er causes people to take cold, and
seeds of disease are sown that will
bear fruit in months 10 come. The
only safeguard is careful watchful-
ness, proper diet, exercise and neces-
sary artificial heat when sudden
changes come. Most houses are more
or less damp after rain, and If the
temperature drops the condition is
greatly aggravated. Exercise caution
for nature is against you this year.

37.o54 were males and 27,709 females.
In about per cent of the cases of
blindness the parents were cousins.

c. A. Mccartney Of South Pasa-
dena, whose heart and lung were torn
by buck-rake, was able to walk on
the Fourth of Jnly, thanks to the
skill of DR.. Thompson of Burbank,
who only three years ago graduated
from Rush Medical College. Nc
Cartney was riding a motorcycle in
the dark and collided with a huge
rake sticking out from passing wag-
on. The prong penetrated his body
seven inches, tore he lower lobe of
the left lung, broke the bronchial
tube, pushed the heart four inches
out of position, drove a six-inch sec
ton of the fifth rib into the back and
spilled so much blood that two and
one half quarts of saline solution was
injected. DR.. Thompson held the
mans heart in his hand for eight
seconds to wash it. After seventeen
days Mccartney was able to get out
of bed.

Lobby for Honesty.

A movement is on foot in Washing
ton looking to the organization of
what might be termed a peoples
lobby"
The idea is to have the Interests
of reform" looked after. Other in
terests" are well represented; but
nobody in particular is charged with
looking after the cause of "decency'
and of honesty"
What is everyody's business is no.
body's business. This axiom applies
no less to the national welfare than
to other things
The idea of peoples lobby" is
to have an organization-an Office
with a manager and employees at
Westinghouse do for the people
III general what the lobbyists are do
ing for the people in particular whom
they serve; to have man or men
whose business it would be to keep
track of the legislation and legislat-
ors, and let the people know
That is all the lobby would do-let
the people know Who are honest?
What bills are supported by what
members? Who do the dirty work
the killing in the dark, the strangling
in committee? 1t requires time to
keep track of these things. The peo-
pie want to know, and would support
a lobby to be told. Publicity would
do the rest.
The idea of peoples lobby is said
to have originated with President
Roosevelt 1t is known, at least, that
number of people have come from
recent interviews at the White house
full of the project. Whoever origin
ated it,, there is no doubt that the
president approves cordially of the
plan and will do everything in his
power to aid in carrying it out.
The idea itself is not entirely new.
1t has been tried quite successfully
on smaller scale in some cities and
has done an incalculable amount to-
ward the purifying of politics.
