HANGED SELF AS SACRIFICE.
Fanaticisn Leads a Farmer to Com
NIT Suicide.

Telling his wife that he must offer
himself as sacrifice to atone for the
sins of the world, Carl Moser, a farm
er, living twelve miles northwest OF
Java, committed suicide by hanging
himself in the kitchen Of his home
Java is situated on the Evarts line
of the Milwaukee railroad in Wal
worth county.
The tragedy was surrounded with
decidedly unusual features. Mose1
belonged to what Is known as the
Merkel band of religious fanatics
which is said to have caused the au.
thorities and people of that part OF
the state a great deal of annoyance
1t is also reported that other fanatics,
oy making threats, caused Moser to
take his life. Last spring the man
created a sensation by setting fire to
the dwelling house Of John Kerner. a
neighbor. For this crime he was ar.
rested, and at the time Of his tragic
death was under bonds for his ap.
pearance at the May term of the state
circuit court in Walworth county for
trial on the charge Of arson.
Moser adopted novel method in
carrying out his plan. He took a
strong cord from a f1ynet, fastened
one end to the door of the Kitchen
made loop running through an iron
ring, passed the loop over his head
tied bag of potatoes to the other
end of the rope, opened the cellar
door, and after kneeling on the floor
pushed the sack of potatoes into the
cellar. The weight of the potatoes on
the end of the cord drew the loop
tightly about his neck and strangled
him to death
A short time prior to the finding of
his body and before the other mem.
bers Of the household were out Of
bed, he informed his wife that during
the night God had told him to sacri
fee himself AID that he would follow
the instructions Of his creator. He
then went into the kitchen and start
ed fire in the cook stove. after
which he committed suicide

HURON MAY HAVE BATTERY.

Artillery Post.

South Dakota Selected by Taft for
Artillery Post.
South Dakota Is to be one of the
states in which the national guards.
men are to be equipped with mod.
ern field battery by the United gov.
ernment. Capt. Coler Campbell OF
Huron has just returned from Wash.
ington, where he accompanied Adjt.
Englesby to the national meeting of
adjutants general.
Capt. Campbell reports that through
the efforts of Senator Kittredge, Sec
retary of War Taft has agreed to 10.
cate one of the batteries in South Da-
kota. The batteries consist of four
pieces Of modern field artillery, and
their equipment will cost the United
States government $4,000 per bat
terry.
Contingent upon the securing Of the
battery the city in which it is to be
stationed must erect a substantial ar
mory, and AdJt. Gen. Englesby is ex
pected here shortly to look over the
ground and see what steps are neces
sary to establish the new artillery al

INSTITUTE GETS "kNOCkOUT."
School Teachers Do Not Have to Go
to Meetinu

w ISSeuIS.
At the request of State Superintend-
ent Ramer, Attorney General Hall has
rendered a decision to the effect that
no county superintendent can compel
the attendance of a teacher at a coun-
ty institute held outside the county
boundaries. And, further, that the
county commissioners of any county
cannot legally allow bills for insti-
tutes held outside the county
1t has been the custom in some Sec
tions of the state for several counties
to join together to hold a longer in
stitute than could be afforded by any
one county, the expenses being paid
jointly. This ruling will prevent any
more such joint Institutes being held.
The decision is to cover a situation
in Roberts county, where several of
the teachers refused to attend an in
stitute held at Simpson Park, in Grant
county, and the refusal of the county
authorities to grant them certificates
on account of such refusal. This ac-
tion on the part of the county super
intendent of that county has brought
on a bitter school fight in that coun-
ty, in which sides have been taken by
the two political factions, and out of
which most of the editors in the coun-
ty are either answering to libel suits
or are threatened with having such
suits brought. 1t is likely that the
decision Of the attorney general may
clear the atmosphere, as the basis of
the whole wrangle is practically set
tied by his decision, and is in oppo-
sition held by the county superintend.

ABERDEEN TO GET LINE.
Citizens to Put Up 100000 Guarantee
for MINNEAPOLIS Road

The Minneapolis & st. Louis rail-
road is now seeking right of way pri-
vileges through Aberdeen.
Vice President Day recently request
ed committee Of representative busi-
ness men to investigate a proposed
route through the city and to ascer-
tain the probable cost to the road for
the right of wy. This was done, and
the probable cost was placed at $685.
600. The road has expressed a will
ingness to accept this price, but asked
a guarantee that the purchase price
would not exceed that sum.
A committee was sent to the Twin
Cites to confer with Mr.. Day, and later
a telegram was received from the
committee stating that the price was
satisfactory to the company, provided
the citizens of Aberdeen would raise
100000 to guarantee the company
against having to pav more than $751;
600 for the right of way A commit
tee from the Commercial club imme-
diately was sent out with a subscrip-
ton paper, and within a short time
had secured $4,000 in pledges with
every probability that the remainder
will be secured.
The road asks the 100000 AS a
pledge that the citizens of Aberdeen
will make up the difference between
$55, 900 and the cost of the right OF
way, should it prove to exceed that
figure.

BENEFIT OF MINING INTEREST
Mining Experimental Stations to Be
tablished,

Mining men Of Deadwood are advo-
eating certain changes in the bill for
mining experimental stations which
has been favorably reported upon by
the committee on mines and mining.
This bill, as introduced by Represen-
tatice Martin, authorizes the secretary
Of commerce and labor to establish at
his discretion, in each of the states,
a mining experimental station. He
also to appoint at each station an ex-
pert geologist. He is authorized to
spend a sum not to exceed So, 600 In
establishing, equipping and maintain
ing each of the stations created. 1t
is the duty of this geologist and chem
ist to analyze, for any citizen of the
United States at a nominal charge
samples OF all mineral-bearing sub
stances and to determine the exact
amount OF mineral in the sample.
They are also required to make clas-
sification or assays Of samples Of rock,
cement, clay, etc. The geologist is
dI0O CApCClCu W CAplCIS duu CAdlhlAC
the mineral regions within his juris
diction.
Mining men have advanced the be-
lief that such an Office would be over
loaded with the work OF assaying
rock, much of which has no special
value, as enthusiastic prOspectors
would take up the larger part OF the
time of such officials. The change
suggested by men familiar with con-
ditions is that one of two high class
chemists be employed to work in con-
nection with the mills with view to
ascertaining methods by which a
larger percentage of the ore values
could be saved. At present but few
companies save more than IS per
cent of the assay value Of their ore,
through the Homestake, when it's new
shines plant is completed, will save
practically all the gold. It is esti-
mated that nearly $1.000,O00 is car
ried off annually from the tailings OF
the cyanide plants of the Black Hills
alone, and that if some method could
be discovered by which these values
could be saved it would mean much
not only to the mining district itself,
but to the country in general.

MIST is MYSTERY.
Phenomenon Is Said to Be Sign Of
Earthuuake


Earthquake.
Word has been brought from Piolo
Creek of an unusual happening at a
porphyry dixie on the southern spur
of Sheep mountain. At different times
men working near the dixie have OBJ
served a mist or vapor rising from it
This would last about an hour and
then would pass away without leaving
any trace Various causes have been
given for this phenomenon.
One observer has noted that the va
por rises just before an earthquake
In one case it was noted before the
severe earthquake in Italy, and again
prior to an earthquake which did
some damage on the Isthmus of Pan
anna.
The explanation most generally ac
cepted is that the mountain overlies
a cave similar to the Wind cave near
Hot Springs, and that when certain
atmospheric conditions obtain the
wind rushes up from the cave through
cracks near the dixie
