Forty Iaborers Crawl Out Unframed
From Car Standing Almost on End.
A wreck occurred on the Milwaukee
road when a wrecking car, a block a
and a combination coach vent through
the James river bridge three miles
east of Mitchell.
A crew of men had been working at
the bridge clearing up a wreck of the
day before, and when the work was
done the wrecking train started for
Mitchell. The boom on the wrecking
car, which stands about thirty feet
high, struck the spans at the top OF
the bridge with such force as to
cause the east end Of the bridge to
collapse and to throw the three cars
into the water below, the engine cross.

The cars are piled up on top Of one
another, the combination car just
touching the top of the river. In this
car were forty laborers, one of whom
was hurt in the least. After their car
went down the men crawled through
the front end which stood nearly erect.
All e%ast-bound trains will be sent
south by the way Of Scotland until the
bridge is repaired.

NOT LIKELY TO LEVY HEAVILY
State Purse Is in Best Condiaion In
Years.

While the assessment board Of the
state at the coming meeting for as
sessment and equalization has been
given power by the legislature tc
make levies a~ggregating five and one
fourth mills, it is hardly likely that
1t will go to the limit, AS the state
funds are In better shape, so far as
the general fund is concerned, than
they have been for a long time, the
warrants having been upon a cash
basis for several months, with nearly
100000 on hand in that fund at the
beginning of the fiscal year.
The board, II it so desires and thinks
necessary may make \ general levy OF
four mills, and are instructed to make
a special levy of one and a fourth
mills for a Irvine plant at the peniten.
tiary. With the treasury in good
shape, and the increase in valuations
which must come from the increase
in property in the state, not all be
required, cutting the levy down
slightly.
The monthly report of the state
treasurer, besides showing this condi,
ton of the general fund, shows, in
round numbers, $4O0.0 900 from all
sources In the treasury. practically all
of which is deposited in banks in the
state, the deposit in Eastern banks
which mas been carried by past treas
urers, having been practically elimin
ated by Treasurer Cassill, who be
lieves in giving the state banks the
benefit Of the funds.

TOWN OF LENNON.
One OF the Newest on Milwaukee-Mo.
bridge Extension.

Lennon is one Of the new towns
on the Milwaukee coast line extension
from Mobridge. 1t is a lively little
town Of about $50 inhabitants. The
town is only about two months old and
has made rapid progress, considering
that all lumber used for building has
to be hauled from the Northern Pa
cifc railroad, a distance Of ninety
miles.
The town consists of a general
store, two banks, barber shop, meat
market, two newspapers, two hotels
and a blacksmith shop, also several
other places of business. There are at
least a dozen buildings being put up at
present.
w. M. Vanderly, former postmaster
of Marion, S. D., has just arrived to
make his new home on his homestead
north of town.
Mr.. Recey, formerly of Worthing,
S. D., has established a blacksmith
shop at Lennon.
The new Milwaukee grading outfit,
with a large force of men, are grading
south of Gilstrap, about ten miles
west Of Lennon.
The new road is expected to be in,
running order as far as Lennon by
Sept. /.
A new postofice building is being
erected and they are expecting the
future postmaster to get the appoint
ment at any time.
The artesian we'll outfit arrived on
the ground Saturday night to dig the
city well.
Field Bros. have established a dray
line at Lennon recently.
The Twentieth Century bakery is
now ready for business.
There was a meeting of the business
men Of the town on Tuesday to dis
cuss matters regarding police protec-
ton and also make arrang ements for
the building of a Jail. A subscription
for funds was circulated and a com
mittee was appointed to take the mat
ter in hand. They decided to use stone
from the quarry west of town, and a
very suitable building will be built to
be used as a city Jail.

TALES OF A PHOTOGRAPHER.
Strange Requests Made Of Him by All
Sorts Of People.

Portrait taking is not SO monotonous
md unintereJ sting a calling as one
would suppose. In the course Of a
day a photographer meets with unu-
sual adventures and learns remarkable
stories about people.
Recently a well-known photographer
in a large city was visited by a lady
who asked hi INTO photograph more
than 200 miles. These were addressed
very ardent nature.
After she had secured pictures she
purchased the plates and smashed
them. 1t is presumed the woman was
offered a sum for the return Of the
letters, but wished to retain her hold
on the man besides getting the money.
On another occasion a photographer
was summoned by a prominent society
man, who directed him t 0 take a pic
ture Of a man, whom he described, as
he was leaving a house. The photog-
rapher concealed himself near the
door and snapped the man. He later
saw the picture in a newspaper as
that of a man who figured in a IA
nous divorce suit
Sometimes photographers are called
upon to take the pictures Of two
friends meeting after a long absence.
Many can tell Of taking pictures Of
dead pets for broken-hearted house,
women. A photographer recently took
a picture Of a dog laid out in a shroud
in a little coffin.
In London a photographer was called
to the house OF a wealthy man, whom
he found dressed in the costume OF
King Lear. He posed and ordeerd
several pictures to b esent to friends.
Late rthe photographer learned the
man had committed suicide.

A SMALL SECRET,

Two men were discussing the var

In such variety and abundance.
One. a grocer, said. Il frequently try
a package or SO OF any certain article
before offering 1t to my trade, and in
that way sometimes form a different
idea than my customers have.
For instance, l thought l would try
some Postum Food Coffee, to see what
reason there was for such a call for 1t.
At breakfast / didn't like 1t and supper
proved the same, so l naturally con.
cluded that my taste was different
from that Of the customers who bought
It right along.
"A day or two after, I waited on q
lady who was buying a Csc package
and told her l couldn't understand how
one could fancy the taste Of Postum.
az know Just what is the matter
she said, you put the coffee boiler on
the stove for just fifteen minutes, and
ten minutes OF that time it simmered,
and perhaps five minutes it boiled;
now if you will have 1t left to boil full
fifteen minutes after 1t commences to
boil, you will find a delicious Java-like
beverage, rich in food value of gluten
and phosphates, so choice that you
will eve abandon 1t, particularly
when you see the great gain in health
Well, l took another trial and sure

BAKER CITY, Ore, Oct. 1.-Har-

county, died this afternoon at $40
o'clock as the result of terrible
wounds received from the explosion
of large dynamite bomb at his
front gate at 10:45 O'Clock Monday
night. The scene when daylight
broke this morning presented ter
lible spectacle at the Brown resi-
dence. Pieces of the victims flesh
We're found ON the fence posts and
his clothing had been blown many
feet away. Some garments were
picked up on his lawn and others
We're even found on the roof of the
house From hinge on the gate to
the hiding place of the perpetrators
of the outrage, telephone pole more
than 80 feet away, a wire was traced,
and to the end of it was fastened
the brass knuckle which fitted the
fingers of the creature who pulled
the wire when the signal was given.
At every turn one is confronted by
the startling similarity to the Steun-
enberg outrage. Even the counter
parts of two red chalk marks which
appeared on the Steunenberg gate
posts are found on the gate posts of
Browns fence. Shortly after the
murder was committed, It is stated
two strangers, one tall and the other
short. were seen running across lots
in the direction of the depot. where
it is believed beyond doubt they
boarded the eastbound train which
left shortly afterwards.
Shortly before noon today Brown
recovered consciousness and his of
fetal ante-mortem statement was
