The Granger business school
at Big Stone City is meeting
with great success. Mr.. Frank
Moore, who has been attending
that school for only about four
months, has been offered two
positions; one with Clerk of the
Supreme Court at Pierre, and
the other with the Security Bank
at Webster, S. D. He decided
to take the latter as it was near
er his home and went there last
Monday to begin his duties. Mr..
Moore received the endorsement
of the school, and it was through
this recommendation alone that
he was offered the posi-
tions. This is certainly strong
indication of the standing which
the school has with the business
men Of South Dakota, and also
shows that there is a large field
IN the west for young men of the
right kind.

uncertain parsonage. She takes de-
light in strong contrasts, and is just
now giving us one in this very affair
Of sleeves. In the daytime we are to
cover our arms completely, and at
night we are not to cover them at
all!
Once again-and one cannot but re-
joice at the fact-it is the fashion to
permit the upper part of the arm to
be seen in all its beauty. 1t is we'll
known fact that the average woman
does not possess a really perfect fore
arm, but that in many cases the upper
part Of the arm is thing of distinct
beauty; 1t . is generally white and
plump, and nothing can be more grace
full than the shoulder outline, when
we are permitted to see it. Many of
the latest models of evening gowns
coming from the best Paris dress
makers show bodices with practically
no sleeves. They have beautiful
shoulder straps of passementerie or
jeweled lace and floating lengths of
transparent materials are permitted to
outline the arm, the ends tied in loose
bows or hanging straight down in
wing fashion. The bodices of these
dresses are very often of great appar-
ent simplicity; folds of supple ma
terial drawn slightly across the bust
and fastened, invisibly, at the side
seam, or equally supple folds arranged
in cross-over fashion and caught down
at the waist by handsome clasp or
buckle. With evening bodices of this
order the embroideries on the skirts
are gorgeous beyond description, but
then the skirts themselves are often
cut in Princess style and are severe in
outline.
On all the finest embroideries-and,
indeed, braidings-of this season we
find numbers of small tassels intro
duced, tassels to initiate the petals Of
large flower or to hang in frankly
impossible punches from the center of
cluster of leaves. Tassels-and Of
the most beautiful kind-are enjoying
field days this winter, and on the
newest evening wraps they are abso
lutely ubiquitous.

REWARD OF RUSSIAN JUDAS.
Got Big Sum for Betraying a PIo'
Against the Gar.

A wedding took place the other day
at Peterhof, the summer home of the
car, says the London Daily News
The bridegroom was Cossack of the
imperial bodyguard, Ratimoff, the
man who egged on group of persons
in sympathy with the ideas of the
revolutionists to discuss their plans in
order that he might betray them
Their trial was farce and their con-
demnation for plotting against the
car one of the most disgraceful cpl
sodes in recent Russian history. The
authorities do not take this view, and
Ratimoff's devotion has been reward
ed by wedding present of $4,000
rubles and suitable provision has been
made for him by way of pension for
life.

We have heard since the summer
season a great deal about the WAR
on Sleeves" but if this war still con-
tinues it must be fought with the
winds, for there are no longer two
sides to the question; short sleeves
except for evening wear-are now,
practically, non-existent, and for one
hree-quarter-length sleeve we find
three full-lengths. For afternoon CO.'S
times, to be worn on occasions of GER
emory, we find the three-quarter-
length sleeve very much used, but all
the coat sleeves are long or are worn
over blouses, or bodices, which show
the tight sleeve reaching tor over
the wrist. Most women will find the
long, rucked-up sleeves very becom-
ing; and some dressmakers insist on
mounting them on tight lining, but
my personal taste is all against this
plan. The sleeve will wear much bet
ter if lined, but then it will never look
so smart and pretty as the sleeves
which are made of supple material
anu dllOWSu W push up against IU0
arm, like a mousquetaire glove. In
point d'Esprit-for evening wear
these sleeves are delightful, and the
upper part, from the shoulder to just
above the elbow, should be compare
lively full, so that the net may fall in
soft folds. From elbow to wrist the
sleeve should then be gathered on the
inner seam and fastened with tiny
hooks and eyes-the piece extending
over the wrist being shaped like
small bell and allowed to reach the
knuckles. A black taffetas blouse
with sleeves of this order is a de-
lightful and most useful garment, es-
pecially if the open fronts be braided
with fine black braids and edged with
mink, the extreme edge of the sleeve,
that part which extends over the
wrists, being trimmed in the same
way. Such blouse is ideal for wear
ing with a sleeveless coat of black
chiffon cloth or of black mirror vel
vet.
Fashion has always been-and
ever will remain-a mysterious and

wear, as for example soft alternating
shades of blue and green, or again a
white striped with black and nattier
blue. The shirtwaists shown above
are made with collar band, so that
any kind of neckwear can be used
with them, while collars to match
can be made sMd are quite the proper
thing.

CHURCH BUILDING SETTLES
Report That Structure Is About to

Doors-Parents Unable to

York, Pa-While several thousand
persons were assembled in and about
the old Quickel church, near lions
View, the other day, to listen to the
funeral services over the bodies of
William and Curvin Hoover, the boys
who were murdered in Pleasureville,
the settling of the building caused a
panic.
Men, women and children were
trampled upon, and about 40 persons
were injured, several seriously.
The panic started during the serv-
ice. A report was circulated that the
building was giving way under the
weight of the crowd within. Shortly
afterward the beams began to crack
and two stoves collapsed. Instantly
women began to shrek and there was
a mad rush for the doors.
Rev. Adam Stump and Rev. George
Enders of this city retained their posts
in the pulpit and tried to quiet the
crowd. Their efforts were futile. At
least score of persons were hurt by
jumping from windows.
The two caskets were overturned,
the bodies rolling out on the floor and
being trampled on.
The doors of the little church were
small and the windows were soon
clogged by screaming men and women.
The men outside tried to drive back
the throngs by shouting that the
church was safe. and that everybody
could get out unhurt.
AS soon as those outside realized
what had happened the work of rescue
began. Women who had sustained in
juries and others who had tainted
were carried to the lawn outside. Many
women in. their frenzy threw their
children through the windows. Others
who had got separated from the little
ones tried to fight their way back into
the church.
At the rear door band of men sue
ceeded in checking the stampede.
Physicians were called from near by
towns to attend to the injured.
During the panic the grief of the
parents of the murdered boys was
overwhelming. AS soon as the rush
started they threw themselves in front

SACRIFICES LIFE; SAVES TOWN
Brave Engineer Runs Flaming Powder
Train Through Settlement.

Douglas, AriZ.-John Garcia, a To-
connective engineer, saved Nacozari,
Ariz., from destruction by RUNNING
a burning powder train through the
town at top speed, but lost his own
life. John Chisholm, boy, and a
dozen or more Mexican section hands
were killed by the explosion of two
cars of powder, just as the flaming
train was passing section house.
According to details received here,
a powder train on the narrow gauge
railroad of the Pilares mine caught
fire near Nacozari. In the train were
two open cars heavily loaded with ex-
plosives.
Realizing that the concentration and
a good part of the town of Cacozari
would be destroyed if the powder ex-
ploded there, Engineer Garcia called
to the rest of the crew to jump and
started to run his train away from the
town. He had taken it about half a
mite when the explosion occurred,
blowing the house, the train, the Mex
leans and the engineer to atoms.
Young Chisholm was stealing a ride.

WAS IN TEXAS NAVY.
Early But interesting Bit of History
of Lone Star Republic.

The recent death at Denver, Colo,
of John Pierson Titcomb, the last sur
vivor of the old Texas navy, in the
days when Texas was an independents
republic, recalls the fact that the Lone
Star state, with her little navy, did
some very good fighting on sea as
we'll as on land in the days of Hous-
ton, Bowie, Crockett, Milan and Ira
Wis, who were the great heroes of the
war between Texas and Mexico.
John Pierson Titcomb, like about
everybody else in that little Texan
navy, was a sailor of fortune" a
New Hampshire boy, having been
born in that state in 1917. When a
year old his parents moved to Ded.
ham, Mass. In this state he was edu.

years of age, when he went to Calais,

sold his interest in the business there
and started for Galveston, Tex. When
he arrived at that port he found the
young republics navy anchored there.
and he was prone to enlist in this arm
of the service at once. But he re-
Trained from so doing at the time, and
started for Houston, where the seat
of the republics government was To-
Gated. He secured position at once
in the treasury department.
His desire to enter the naval SER
vice continued, however, and in 1888
he was appointed midshipman. In
der Capt. Hinton he was made pay
master of the new navy. This posi-
ton he held until 1910, when the con-
'dition of affairs in the navy being
such that there was no money to pay
the men he resigned and returned to
Massachusetts, where he secured a
position in the navy yard at Charles
town. He was married in 1912 to a
Mrs. Smith of Orrington, Me. In 1854
he settled in Harvard, ILL.,, and was in
business there until 1884. Then he
went farther west and when he died
recently at Denver he was in his Goth
year.
But his death, as has been said, re-
calls the fact that Texas once had a
navy and recalls the further fact that
this little navy did some fighting.
The revolution against Mexico was
organized in the fall of 1885 by the
selection of provisional governor,
Henry Smith; commander-in-chief
of the army, Sam Houston, and Of
three commissioners to the United
States, Branch T. Archer, Stephen F..
Austin and w. H. Wharton. In order
to fully meet Mexico at all points, and
especially to protect Galveston, this
government resolved to establish a
navy, rather nervy thing for a gov
eminent to undertake which had
neither credit nor standing. But the
Texans had plenty of friends in the
states, and they felt confident.
The navy of Texas under the pro-
visional government of 1856 consist
ed of three vessels, namely, the Irwin
chile, Capt. Brown; the Brutus, Capt.
Hurd, and the Independence, Capt.
Hawkins.
In the first days of April, 1886, the
Invincible sailed on a cruise of
Brazos Santiago, and fell in with the
Montezuma, Capt. Thompson. After
a fight of two hours the Mexican YES
sci was driven on shore and left in q
sinking condition.

adopted any other measures of hostil-

not so we'll behaved. In April, 1887,
the Champion, a vessel freighted with
provisions for the army of Texas, was
captured and confiscated by the enc
my. The julius Caesar, with a cargo
worth $4,000, was also taken. In the
