Purgatory is Frozen and Woman
Is Going to See About the Matter.

"Purgatory" a cove only few
miles from Worcester, Mass, many
of whose mysterious by-paths have
yet to be explored, is attracting the
attention of scientists all over New
England because of the failure of
Miss Lucia S. Thompson, of Boston,
well known mountain climber, to
penetrate the cavern Miss Thomp-
son found herself unable to proceed
much beyond the entrance, as it was
icebound
No one has had the courage to pen
citrate the farthest depths of the
cave, and such an attempt is admit
tedly fraught with danger, for at the
bottom is an unexplored lake or riv-
er. There are scarcely three months
in the year in which it is possible
to enter the opening Miss Annie
Peck, whose feats of mountain climb
ing have given her fame, will try to
explore the cavern.

Insane by Witchcraft.

Mrs. Christian Schultz, of Spring
field township, Laporte county, whose
daughter, comely girl, was recently
committed to the insane asylum, has
issued a statement IN which she
brands Fred Poepke of Michigan
township, a sorcerer, and whose prac-
tice of witchcraft is alleged to have
driven Robert Scherginski, a young
man living near Roeskeville, to the
mad house Mrs Schultz declares
that her daughter did not lose her
faculties as the result of infatuation
for Scherginski, but that her present
mental condition is the result of over
study.
The story OF Mrs. Schultz, which is
long and quite minute as to detail,
relates that her daughter stopped at
Poepke's place about three Gears ago.
Poepke is said to claim TO possess the
gift of prophecy, and told the young
woman's future He told Miss Schultz
according to her mothers statement,
she would soon have a lover, that he
would be a tall young man, of light
complexion, and would drive to her
home in a rubber tired buggy drawn
by bay horse. Poepke thus lifted
the veil of the future
Two months later young man,
answering the description of the fell
low described by the alleged seer, ap-
peared at the Schultz home in Spring
field township His actions were mys-
terious He entered the house, greet
ed the family with salutation. "How
do you do" remained three hours,
and then left as strangely as he came.
Six months later the man of strange
actions came again. This time he
heightened his stay, but the mystery
of his coming was still unsolved But
when he came again, several weeks
later, the silence was broken. He
told Mrs. Schultz that Poepke, the
seer, the exponent of witchcraft, had
told him her daughter was to be his
wife Poepke said she would be his
bride for the simple asking. Their
marriage was fated by a destiny
which he shaped. 1t then dawned
upon Mrs Schultz that the strange
man was possibly the victim of de-
mentia as a result of Poepke's alleg-
ed practice of sorcery. He was told
that Miss Schultz did not intend TO
get married, but would remain single.
He drove away, evidently brooding
over the unkind decree of fate The
next time he came it was with the
demand that Mrs Schultz reimburse
him for the money he claimed to
have paid Poepke for the practice of
his arts. The demand was refused 1t
was at this juncture that the young
man whose ways were mysterious,
and who proved to be Robert Scher-
ginski, was taken into custody by the
police The young woman for whom
he formed an infatuation is insane,
while Scherginski is awaiting remov-
al to mad house.

VOLUME vi


There should not and need not be
any conflict between capital and la
Dor, since both are necessary for the
public good and the one depends up
on the cooperation of the other A
tontest between the employer and
the employed is as unreasonable and
as hurtful to the social body as war
between the head and hands would be
to the physical body. Such an antag-
onism recalls the tabled conspiracy
on the part of the members of the
body agains the stomach"
In htese words his eminence, James
Cardinal Gibbons sums up his views
of industrial strife In an article his
eminence outlines the relations which
exist between the employer and the
employed ard makes serong plea
for peace between the forces of capi-
tai and labor.
In the course of his article his emi-
nence says:
"Whoever strives TO sow dsccdd
between the capitalist and the laborer
is an emeny of society Every meas
ure should be, therefore, discounten-
anced which sutains the one at the
expense of the other. Whoever
strives to improve the friendly rela-
tions between the proprietors and
the labor unions by suggesting the
most effectual means of diminishing
and even removing the causes OF DIS
content is benefactor to the COM
munrty
'I take il for granted that all unions
and otLer societies of American lab
oring men are disposed to array
themselves on the side of peace and
order and are strongly opposed to VI
olations of the law as other citizens.
Hence they should exert their infiu-
ence TO see that the law is upheld,
II they are TO maintain the respect
with which they are regarded Dy
their fellows.
at is not only a question OF patri-
e.r;sm but of interest which deeply
concerns them. Their experience has
shown that strikes are at best very
questionable remedy for laborers'
grievances
They paralyze industry, they often
foment fierce passions and lead to
the destruction of property; and
above all, they result in infiicting
yrev;o1s injury on tho laborer him.
self by keeping him in enforced idle
ness. during which time his mind IS
clouded by discontent while brooding
over his situation, and hrs family not
infreauently suffers want OF the nee
essaries OF life
THE loss inflicted by strikes on
the EMPLOYERS is not much more than
half as great as that which is sustain
ed by the employed, who can mucn
less afford to bear it. 1t would be
vast stride in the interests OF peace
and of the laboring classes if the pol
;ev of arbitration, which is now gam
ing favor for the settlement OF inter
national quarrels. were also avaiieo
of for the adjustment of disputes be-
tween capital and labor.

Has a Tree Climbing Canine.

Just because he has seeming ha-
tired for groundhogs large dog be-
longing to Schuyler Menzie, residing
near Pierceton, jumped from the
ground to the first limb of a tree, a
distance of six feet and then climbed
from one limb to another, a distance
of twenty feet above ground, in pur-
suit of a groundhog The smaller
animal crawled out on small limb
and the dog followed They both
struck the ground together, the dog

ToWri Lot Sale

The first sale of lots in the town
of Philip came off as ADVERTISED,
last Thursday afternoon. Several
sales have been made since that
time by Anderson Michaels, the
townsite agent, SO that up to- date,
sixty lots have been sold. Two or
three parties are at present il.
town figuring on locations, and the
indications are that there will con
tinne to be a steady demand f3r
lots until the auction sale is hei4
later.
Immediately after the sale last
week, the purchasers began maxi
ing preparations to remove to their
lots. The warner Land Com
pany had loaded their hailding
and the manager Of that con-
cern seemed to be labofinr ail-.
der the impression that he 1tonia
have the distinction of being tic.
first one on the new town site.
The News had also loaded their
building, and we frankly confess
that we had hoped to be aasongs
the first to arrive, and some If our
friends had gone SO far as to say
they hoped we would be the first.
Naturally we did not wish to dis
appoint our friends, and conse-
quently a spirited race resulted.
fter the first quarter it was all
over but the shouting and every
one knew that the News would
win by a mile, and it did win. Far
be it from us to immodestly sug-
gest that the result of this little,
race to the town site is an unmis-
taxable indication of our general
push and enterprise.

The Railroad Comes
to Town

Last Saturday morning at fifteen
minutes past ten, the track laying
machine of the new railroad reach
ed the townsite of Philip. The
railroad had come, and our town
had ceased to be a pioneer village
of the great inland sea of prairie
| and had become station On real,
sure-enough railroad. With that
event Philip began trying on the
metropolitan airs she expects to
wear every day in the week at mo
distant future.
The citizens of the town turned
out to welcome the track laying
gang. And just to show that they
were good fellows several of our
business men took a turn at the
spike hammer. This afforded a
certain amount of amusement for
the "runt eaters, but it is not
very likely that the performance
resulted In any very material or
any very valuable assistance.
The track is now about three
miles west of town. The gang
will work one more day. Then
the track on this end of the exten-
sion will be finished. The remaindt
er will be laid from the Rapid City
end. Sometime during the early
days of July, it is believed that
the two ends will meet a few miles
west of town. At that time the
final, diamond-headed, golden spike
will be driven with appropriate
ceremonies.
