head and threw him out. V. NJ Bal
thorpe and A. A, MAXWELL, who were
going to Brookings in an automobile,
found the boy on the road and started

with posse after him.
The attempt of the insurgents to show
that the two cent rate bill was defeated
by the stalwart minority in the legis.
lature has bumped up against a stone
wall formed of the facts in the case.
The man really responsible for the fail
ure of the bill was w. S. Glass, insur-
gent leader in the mouse, who, at a
critical moment discovered that the
2.cent bill! was unconstitutional, and
withdrew ~ Mr.. Glass is now making
an active osIyas among insurgents for
the congressional nomination, with his
| legislative record as certificate OF char
acter.
Do not waste any time tlying to ''get
even with some one who has wronged
you. 1t is impossible to employ single
hour TO worse advantage. Some one
has truly said that getting even" is an
idea of revenge found only in the philos-
ophy of fools Truer words were never
uttered. The idea that because some
one else has stopped to low, contempt
ible act, you must, too, is not worthy of
moments consideration by high
minded men and women. Do not allow
what some one else has done to put you
out of harmony with your best self.
Getting even" hurts you hundred
times more than it does any one else.
A stroke of lightning has restored the
hearing of William b. Chase, of Dead.
wood, who has been stone deaf for
seventeen years. Chase was out in the
hills when fearful storm arose. He
ran for the shelter of tree. which he
reached just as lightning struck it, tear
ing it to pieces. The man was thrown
fifty feet and when he was picked up he
remarked in dazed sort of way; "Say,
| heard that crash all right. Guess i
can hear anything now" He was cor
rect in his guess, for later he could hear
the faintest whisper twenty feet away.
Doctors say his hearing has been COM
pletely restored and that he never will
be deaf again.
| The Elks lodge, of Mitchell, started a
movement several months ago looking
to the erection of building for a home,
but, until the present time, the mem
bers were undecided whether to make
the building strictly home for the
Elks or to build so that it could be par
TALLY utilized for business purposes. AT
the meeting of the lodge Monday night
it was decided to make the building a
home strictly for the members and cut
ting out the business feature. The
Elks have bought two slightly lots just
across from the corn palace, south, and
the committee having in charge the
erection of the building have sent away
for plans and specifications.
s. r. Mckinney has made his stake.
When he went 70 Deadwood the first Of
the year he secured contract from the
Golden Reward management to clean
mp the dumps around the old smelter.
The smelter had been idle for several
years and the contract looked like Lit.
tie easy money for the company. Then
Mckinney got busy. He put in two
Whitley tables and jig and commenced
to concentrate the old matter and Stag.
These proved far richer than supposed,
for the earlier day method was too
coarse for fine extraction. Mckinney
shipped the concentrates to Omaha and
has already cleaned up over SAC, 900 and
is not yet through. He travels about
the west and always selects shelters
that have been idle some time for his
operations, nearly always making good
money. 81
