Adam. Knew the Flood Was Coming.
An apocryphal book called the Less
err Genesis and well known to the
early Christian fathers tells a wonder
full incident in the life Of Seth, the
third son of Adam and Eve. When
the goodly Seth was about forty years
of age, he was "rapt'' up into heaven
by a trio OF angels and there told and
shown what was in store for mankind.
Among other things. the coming of the
great deluga was made known to him,
as was also the coming of the Saviour
When he returned to earth, Seth told
his parents what had happened and Of
what he had seen and heard concern
ing the future of the human race. "And
Adam was much grieved when it was
made known to him that the world
would be destroyed by water on ac-
count of the wickedness of his own
ichildren, but great peace and calm
ness came over him when Seth told
how the face of the earth would again
be repeopled. His joy was ex-
ceedingly great when Seth related
what was in store in the coming ages,
and he was particularly glad to know
that redemption should finally come
through Jesus, the Christ"

Manslaughter, The Verdict.

Flandreau, S. d., June 2O.--Mrs.
Emma Kaufman, wife OF Moses
Kaufman, on trial in the circuit court
here for the past ten days charged with
the murder of Agnes Polreis, servant,
tonight was found guilty of man
slaughter in the first degree.
The case went tc the jury at O'clock
this afternoon and the verdict was re-
turned at S:45 tonight. The conviction
of Mrs. Kaufman was great shock
to the defendant, her husband, her son
and her counsel, all of whom had con
lidently expected acquittal.
When the fatal words fell from the
lips of the foreman of the jury Mrs
kauImanns head sank npon her hands
Throughout the brief proceedings she
sat in an attitude of extreme detection
Charles Kaufman burst into tears and
Mr.. Kaufman was utterly crushed
Counsel for the defense gave notice
chat a new trial will be applied for
This will be argued before Judge Smith
at Yankton October 81 as the date fol
passing sentence in the event a new
trial shall be denied. The bond of 1926,
0o0 furnished last June will stand and
meantime Mrs. Kaufman will be al
liberty
