FIVE VOTERS IN TOLLS.

The saloon fight at Condo did not
close with the election, although
license won by a majority Of three
votes.
Immediately after the announcement
of the result, Sheriff Hopkins arrested
Don Pratt, Art Aylesworth, Harry
Summers, Dick Purse and Louis Jen-
son on charges Of illegal voting. Ayles-
worth and Jensen were arraigned at
Pedfleld and the former discharged,
but the latter was held to the next
term of court.

mers and Purse are thrown out be-

on the liquor question a tie. But
should the prosecution fail to establish
their case, the prohibitionists have
still another card up their sleeves.
They will claim that not sufficient
number Of freeholders signed the petit
ton for the submission of the question
to the voters, and that therefore the
town will have to remain dry.

almost wonder, however, whether she
ever aspired or hoped for the heights
she has since reached.
Operate Debut.
Her operate debut was made at
Vienna in the role of Brangaene to
Lehmann's Isolde. Miss Fremstad
was not only favorite of Frau Wag-
ner, but she also enjoyed the study Of
Wagnerian roles under her direction,
and whereas she has sung lighter
opera, her pre-eminent successes have
been in the roles of the great master
Of Bayreuth.
Miss Fremstad also appeared in
''Rheingold," In "Gotterdammerung''
and as one OF the flower girls in par
sifal." Her luscious voice and consum-
mats grace II these plastic parts stood
out forcibly In the productions.
Rival Of caive.
After her appearances In Bayreuth
she went to Cologne and sang many
roles In the lighter operas, as also tho
parts Of Waltraute and Carmen, In
which she made srrore which in Ger

after her farewell performance OF
Carmen the students embarrassed the
horses from her carriage, and hanging

her successes in London, and the story
of her triumphs In America is too well
known to need rehearsing.

PINNED DOWN ALL NIGHT.
Wagon Box Falls on Farmer in Fun.
away Accident.

Compelled to lie pinned to the
ground from midnight until nearly 7
o'clock the following morning was the
experience of George McKenna, a
Charles Mix county farmer. While
driving home with a heavily loaded
wagon his horses ran away and tipped
over the wagon. Among the articles
on the wagon was a disc plcw. This
was thrown out with the other con-
tents of the vehicle, and piece Of 1t
struck McKenna on the head with
such force that he was made uncon-
scious. When he regained conscious
ness he discovered that one arm was
pinned under the wagon box in such a
manner that he could not release 1t.
Not until nearly 7 o'clock in the
morning was he found and released
by a passer. MCKenna was badly hurt,
among other injuries being the loosen
ing of three ribs from the backbone.

Metropolitan Grand Opera

ed out a plan whereby a cosy theateI
seating $500 people can be enlarged
with little effort or expense into q
theater seating 5000 comfortably, and
the larger theater in turn may be ex-
panded into a convention hall that will
seat 10000 without crowding.
The st. Paul Auditorium is not
big barn-like structure, with trusses
marring the view overhead and with
columns scattered eN Hrywhere. When
a seating capacity of 5000 is desired
there is at hand one OF the prettiest
and best appointed theaters in the
West to delight the eye, and accommo'
date itself to operate, theatrical or
other entertainments which require a
large stage, a good view from AL parts
of the house and excellent acoustic
properties.
Buildings Fireproof.
The building is thoroughly fire proof
and furnished with exits sufficient to
allow a crowded house to retire as fast
as the streets will accommodate the
people. The whole Fifth street front
zoo feet wide, is an exit.
The acoustic properties of the Audi
forum are absolutely perfect. Not
seat in the building but that Is a good
one. Every seat is raised so that the
vision is unobstructed and not a pillar
or post mars the sight.
Seats Sold in Advance.
With such a building and such
company as Herr Conried brings to st
Paul It is expected that every seat will
be sold I'm advance.

SUES RAILROAD FOR $4,000.
Huron Man Given Life Pass That
Lasted One Year.

By stipulation of the counsel two
cases against the Chicago & North
Western Railway company have been
certified to the federal court at Sioux
Falls by the clerk of courts for Beadle
county. The first case is that of John
La Lond, who seeks to recover from
the Northwestern company 100000
damages claimed because of injuries
received in an accident at Balaton,
Mimi, last October.
The other Is a case instituted by G.
G.. Brewer, formerly brakeman for
the Northwestern company, who was
injured by a passing train at Verdi,
Mimi. in December. 1905. A compro-
mise was made with the company fol-
lowing the accident, by which Brewer
received $500, and, as he claims, the
company was to issue him life pass
over it's lines. He received a pass
good for one year, and on the expira-
ton of that time the company de-
clined to issue further transportation
to him. He brought suit for the sum
of $4,000 because of the failure of
the company to comply with the con-

the eighth grade examinations for the
different counties of the state.
The papers for the spring examina-
lions are all in but those Of one or
two counties, showing that the total
number will be about $50. This is
about the same number as for the
spring examinations last year, but not
as many as for the fall examinations.
Minnehaha county sends in the larg-
est number of papers for examination
by the board with thirty-fve, and
Butte county sends only one set.
These papers cover only the applica-
lions from second grades up, the third
grade applications being by lar the
largest number
Under the new law, after the first of
July all applications for certificates OF
any grade whatever must come to the
office of the state superintendent for
markings. This will mean far larg-
er amount of work for that depart
ment, but it will be strung out to a
greater extent by examinations about
once in two months instead of two
each year as at present.

A QUEER DAMAGE SUIT.
Boy Struck by Car Door Which Blew
From Fasteninos in a High Wind.


A damage suit which promises to
be stoutly contested when 1t comes
to trial has been instituted in the
state circuit court for Brown county
by Mrs. Fitzpatrick of Groton. The
defendant in the action is the Chicago
& Northwestern Railroad company.
In the suit Mrs. Fitzpatrick represents
her son, Vigne, who, about a year ago,
was struck by a swinging car door,
which blew from freight car on the
tracks of the Northwestern company
during a high wind.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick seeks 20 recover
damages in the sum of $1,000 for the
injuries sustained by her son at that
time. The commencement of the ac-
ton results from the failure of the
parties in interest to effect COM
promise satisfactory to the relatives
of the boy and the railroad company.
It is probable ire case will be tried
during the regular May term Of state
circuit court in Brown county.

REUNITED BY RELIGION.
Two Aberdeen Couples Make Up After
E. Attending Revival Meetings.

During the revivals which are be-
ing held at Aberdeen these days by
Evangelist r. E. Johnson, some nota-
BILE things have happened. Tile latest
of these occurrences Of note are the
reuniting of two families where sepa-
ration had already occurred, and
which were about to eliminate in the
filing Of suits for divorce. One of
these reunions occurred in the audito-
rum, where the meetings are being
held, and happened right after pow
erful sermon by the evangelist and
his call for volunteers for Christ. A
man was seen to start up near the
rear of the audience and proceed to
the front. AS he reached a point
about half way down the aisle,
woman leading a little girl came out
of one of the rows and faced the
front, as though about to go forward.
AS she did so, she noticed the man,
and both stopped The man grabbed
the little girl and kissed her. Then,
placing the child on the floor, he held
out his arms to the woman, who
rushed into them. They embraced
sobbing for few moments, and then
went forward together. They told
Evangelist Johnson that they could
never thank him enough for pointing
to them the right way and bringing
them together again. Another re-
union happened In private as result
of the revivals, and two married peo-
pie thus united have determined to
work for God and lay aside the petty
differences which made their formr
marriage life failure.

The Onion hIaggot.

The onion maggot and cabbage mag
got can only be distinguished by an
expert as they are very nearly alike.
The maggot is the larva of small fly.
There is no known sure" remedy that
can be applied. Sprinkling powdered
sulphur around the plants is a partial
remedy, but it does not always bring
relief. Making a small hole near each
onion and pouring into each hole half a
teaspoonful Of bisulphide of carbon,
covering the holes with earth, is claim
ed to be remedy, but such method is
expensive and laborious. Liquid ma
nure applied to the plants Is claimed
to be remedy. The best preventive
is to grow the onions ON land that has
not before produced a crop, but of
course such can not be done until next
season. This change of location of the
onion patch is the only partial solution
Of the maggot problem.

To Rid Animals of Lice.

A bulletin recently issued by the Ok
lahoma experiment station gives the
following formula for making kerosene
emulsion TO rid farm animals of lice
Hard soap, one-half pound; kerosene
(cheap grade) two gallons; water, one
gallon. Cut the soap in shavings and
boil In water until the soap Is dis
solved. Remove the soap solution from
the fire and add kerosene, and churn
or spray back until a thorough emul-
sion Is made. To set emulsion add
seven gallons of water, and use this
for spraying or dipping. This emul-
sion may be applied to any of the farm
animals by means of sponge, brush
or spray pump, without any injury
whatever, and when thoroughly APP
piled it will rid the stock of lice. This
emulsion may also be used to free poul-
try from lice. Place the emulsion in
vessel of convenient size and dip the
fowls, being sure to get all portions
of the body wet, and hold them in the
dip one minute. After treating the
fowls the emulsion may be used TO
spray the roosts and coops, and in this
way rid them of mites and lice

Every home nurse Is supposed to
know bow to make beef tea, yet II is
surprising how many failures are to be
recorded In this apparently simple OPP
Grafton. The fault generally is that too
little time is given to the cooking The
point TO be borne In mind Is that, as
FAR as possible, the whole OF the nutrl-
ment OF the beef Is TO be extracted
The best method OF doing this Is to
proceed as follows: Remove all the
fat and skin from one pound Of fresh
gravy beef, cut II up Into small pieces
and put II into a stone jar, with
pint OF water and a little salt. Re
place the ia Of the jar aud let Il stand
all night. The next morning place the
Jar in a saucepan of boiling water and
let II simmer gently-but never boil
for Eve hours. Strain the fluid through
a collander, but instead OF throwing
away the residue Of the meat, pound Il
In mortar into pulp, pass II
through a wire sieve and add Il TO the
beef tea. Beef tea made according TO
this recipe contains all the fiber and
albumen OF the meat, and Is therefore
much more nutritious than beef tea in
the form II Is usually given.

MIX Cows.

The Hollanders evidently breed and
feed for milk first of all. That they
succeed is proved by the large milk
yields OF their cows. That large milk
flow, seemingly regardless of butter-fat
percentage, pays them is proved by
their prosperity. The dalryman here
thinks it necessary to pay small prices
for dairy COWS that annually yield
from 1900 to 1000 pounds of milk.
What the financial result to him is, the
wretched records show only too plain
ly. He is the worst-paid farmer in the
land What could he not do if, instead
of breeding, buying, feeding and milk
ing cheap COWS. he were to breed. feed
and milk COWS of the 1880 to 1860
pound class? The Frieslanders and
other Hollanders, with their gigantic
COWS, make money on milk produced
on soil that costs from $500 to $1,000
an acre or rents at from $50 to 5000.
