swollen and produced temporary loss

plant is deffenbachia.
1t is related that the wife of a for
mer government official while visiting
the botanic gardens several years ago
bit into a piece of the trunk of a
"mother-in-law plant" is an experiment
and became mute for about seven days.
Supt. Smith of the botanic gardens,
while on a visit to a neghboring city.
entered a business place where an
auctioneer was endeavorrng to dispose
of lot of plants using their botanical
name of deffenbachia.
"Why, Mon" the government botan-
list in the broadcast of Scotch accents
said, those are 'mother-in-law plants.
why don't you sell them as such?"
The auctioneer took the hint and, de-
scribing the popularity of the growth,
sold many of them. The matter got
into the local newspapers and the fol-
lowing day the auction room was
thronged with curious people The
plants had been selling slowly at %
cents each. After the publication of
the description the auctioneer quickly
sold his entire stock OF two hundred at
IS cents apiece. Mr.. Smith then in
formed him that while he might be
splendid florist he was a mighty poor
Snowman and needed to give heed to
some of the late p. T. Barnum's AK
IONS, especially the one that urged the
plentiful use of printers ink.

If anybody saw tall, lanky looking
individual, come to these islands So
years ago, they would receive the
thanks of Miss Jessie A. Day Of Sandy
Creek State Of Maine, by telling her
about it, She is looking for just such
a person. She wrote to Governor Car
ter by the recent mail asking his as
sistance. She says the name of her re-
lative is Addison Parsons Day. He is
now, she thinks, Is to 80 years OF age.
He came here So years ago and when
last heard from was a tall, lankily
build Of person. She ventures no sug-
gestiOn as to any family traits that
might indicate whether the Day family
was in the habit Of getting fat or lean
with advancing years Addison Day
certainly has had time enough to have
grown as fat as Addison Miner who
used to be in Honolulu. SO il any one
can supply any clue to the existence
of Addison Day. tall and lanky, or tall
and fat, his near relative would be
grateful.

EXPRESS COMPANY LOSES SUIT,
Test Case Is Decided Against United
States Express COMPANY,

Test Case Is Decided Against United
States Express Company.
Judge Garland of the United States
court In Sioux Falls has handed down
a decision Of Importance, holding that
the state board of railroad commits.
sioners has Jurisdiction over express
companies.
In accordance with instructions from
Thomas c. Plat, president of the ex-
press company, the suit was instituted
and was for the purpose of preventing
an order issued by the railroad com
missioners from going into effect The
order was issued Aug. II, 1905, and
was as follows:
ordered. That said defendant. Uni
ted States Express company. accept
and receive at its said office from the
petitioners, the Aberdeen National
bank, at Aberdeen, S. D., all moneys
specie and currency rendered said de
PENDANT by the said petitioners for
shipment to the points named in said
petition in the State of South Dakota.
upon payment of the charges therefor
at its office in Aberdeen, S, D., at any
and all reasonable business hours of
the day preceding the departure of
said trains so leaving Aberdeen at the
hours of s. Z and 7:45 a. m. Further
ordered, that said United States EN-
press company comply with the above
order within ten days from and after
the service of this order upon said
company"
The express company did not wish
to assume the responsibility OF hold
ing in its Office over night the money
which the bank rendered it for ship
nient to towns near Aberdeen, and re-
fused to accept it unless the money
was taken to its office before the trains
left in the morning. The express COM
pany contended that properly and safe
ly to care for the money over night it
would be necessary for it to provide
safe costing 81 $50 and a night watch
man at cost of $50 month
While this is given as the basis OF
the suit, it is an open secret that the
true reason why the express company
fought the order of the railroad com
missioners and carried the matter into
the United States court was to prevent
the railroad commissioners from eXer-
cising jurisdiction over the affairs of
the express company in South Dakota,
and secure, if possible, a decision to
the effect that the railroad commits
! sioners were without jurisdiction and
that the order therefore was void
However, the decision of Judge Car
land is sGuarely against the express
company, holding the company to be a
common carrier. and that as such, I'M
der the law 1t must provide such con-
venience for the transportation of
| money or property consigned to it for
shipment as shall be necessary
The decision of Judge Garland
grants stay of thirty days of proceed
ings subsequent to the entry of the or
| der, so the express company may ap
peal the case should it so desire.

COCOON coLoRs THE SILK.
Food Given to the Worm Does Away
With Need Of Dyes.

European newspapers have been dis
cussing the results Of the experiments
made by M. Levrah in affecting silk
worms by coloring their food so that
the cocoons could be made to yield
colored silk, thu sobviating the neces-
sity of the dyers work in giving hue
to the silk in the thread or piece. In
experimenting in this work the object
was to discover If possible why some
breeds of silk worms produce white
silk while others produce yellow or
yellowish green silk. The experiments
showed that the natural coloring mat
ter of the cocoons was identical with
the coloring matter found in the
leaves. 1t was therefore logical to be-
lieve that the color of the silk must
originate in the chlorophyl Of the
leaves fed to the worms
Then the experiments which fol-
lowed, undertaken to test this hypoth-
esis, prove that a coloring matter in.
troduced into the intestines of worm
by means of a food may under certain
conditions reach the silk through the
blood. The coloring matter to cross
by osmosis the tissues of silk worms
and each race of silk worms is charac-
terized by the osmotic power of its
tissues in relation to different coloring
matters, permitting the passage of
some to the exclusion of others

Northwestern is Pushing Its Sout&
Dakota Extension.
1'racklaying work has been resumed
on the orth-Western extension west
from Pierre, after iay-up of several
weeks to allow the bridge men to get
out of the way. Everything in that
line Is now clear as far as. Capa, the
first station this side of Midland, after
which there will be another wait for
bridges.
1t is now expected by the construc-
tion department to have the road com
pleted as far as Midland by Dec. L.
and If the weather permits winter
work, to push on from that place until
the weather prevents furthe rwork.
While it has been the announced
intention of the company to wait until
the whole line is completed before any
business is done, they have already
broken over that by receiving cattl"
shipments at Teton, and are gctin2
ready to handle such shipments at
Wendte and Van Meter 1t is also very
probable that as soon as the road is
completed to Midland coal and other
supplies will be sent out to that place
and give the settlers in that part of
the state an opportunity to secure sup
plies without the long haul by wagon
from Pierre.
