NO TRACE OF MISSING GIRL.
OF Miss NJ. l.. Crane Mystiiics

Case of Miss VI. l.. Crane Myst'hc5
friends.
The father of Miss M. l.. Crane, for
merry in the millinery business IN HUI
ron, was there Tuesday in search OF
his daughter, who has been missing
since Aug. 80, and Of whom no trace
has yet been had. On that DAY MISS
Crane left Pierre supposedly Tor her
home in Long Lake. Mimi. where her
parents reside. Some months since
Miss Crane disposed Of her miliinarY
business in Huron and in company
with a lumber of other huron women
went west of the Missouri river ana
entered a homestead claim near
Philip. On July 20 she made hnal
proof on her homestead entry. re-
naming with friends in that locality
until August 90, when she departed
for Minnesota. writing her father of
the date of her departure, stating that
on the way she would visit a few days
with friends in Woisey and in Huron.
That was the last letter Mr.. Crane
received from his daughter. Knowing
tina she a friends in Huron he felt
no uneasiness because of not hearing
from her, supposing that she was with
them. Being in WATERFOWL on busl-
ness Mr.. Crane went to Huron with
the expectation of finding her and ac-
companying her home. Arriving there
he found tina hone Of her friends had
seen her, and continued his search
across the river, finding no one who
had seen her since she paid her bill
at the hotel in Pierre and started to
take the train for Huron. She left
Midland the 18th of August, reaching
Pierre that night, and the next day
vanished as If by enchantment.
No theory is advanced as to the
cause of her disappearance. She nat
urally was of a bright and happy dis
position, with a living father of whose
home she was the life and light. She
was to have been married this fall to
a physician in st. Peter, Mimi, and a
bright and happy future seemed to
await her, so self-destruction does not
seem possible. She enjoyed perfect
health, and that she away
while temporarily insane is not prob
able. That she is the victim of foul
play seems equally out of the question,
but the fact remains that no friend or
relative has seen her or heard from
her since she left the hotel at Pierre
three weeks ago.

FATHER sCnEuL UNDEI, ARREST
Fighting Priest Is I'm More Trouble in
Wisconsin.

Rev. Joseph Schell, pastor of the
Catholic congregation at Tony. Wis,
who claims to he instrumental in dis
covering the Oregon land frauds. was
placed under arrest upon complaint OF
a local taxpayer, charging him with
obtaining money under false pretenses
from the local township officials.
Some time & the township board
settled with John Fenno for alleged
Injuries to his wife, who fell upon q
defective sidewalk and gave prema-
ture birth to twins, by giving him a
certain amount of cash and agreeing
to pay all his xpens The twins
died. and among the bills presented
ITO the town board and paid was a bill
of $40 for services for attending the
funeral services of the two children.
1t is alleged hat after the bill had
been paid 1t was learned that Rev.
Father SchelI never saw the children
and did not attend the funeral serv-
ices, and had nothing due him from
the town. The Tony Enterprise, edited
by II. w. Richardson, accused tho
priest of obtaining this money under
false pretenses, and asked him to show
what services he performed. The sur
rounding towns are Drought up over
the matter and it was decided to place
him under arrest and settle the case.
Rev. Father Schell has defended
himself in a Ladysmith weekly paper,
stating that he never put in a bill to
town board and got any money
from the town treasurer, and accuses
the trustees n others of trying to be-
little his work. The town treasurers
alleges that he "a Rev. Father
Schell a check in payment for the
town order and that he now has both
the order and the check bearing the
priests Endorsement.

NJ RELIEF FOR SCHOOLS.
shortage of Teachers General in South
Dakota

iSshctt
County superintendent over the
state generally are finding themselves
at he beginning of the fall terms of
school with not nearly enough teach
ers to go In Hughes county
the superintendent. Miss Ida Hatch,
says she lacks twenty of having
enough teachers to fill the country
schools and does not know where she
can get the supply. She cannot draw
from any of the other counties of the
state for the reason that generally
they are all in the same condition.
Some of them are in better shape than
Hughes, but all are short. The super
intendcnts say that they think the new
law requiring papers of all grades to
be marked by the state board to be
largely responsible for the shortage
Under the old law when the third
grade papers were marked by the
county superintendent they could.
when they knew that the genera! quail
ifications of a teacher were all right,
stretch the requirements when h ed
uCational test was under on one or two
studies and keep up the supply or
country teachers. Under the new sys-
tenn the state marking board can only
pass on what Is before them n are
compelled to work to a set rule, re-
sulting in dropping a number of the
eachers who have been working in
the country for years. At the August
examination over SO per cent of the
applicants failed to secure certificates
and the shortage is something serious
to county superintendent. who see no
way to open many of the country
schools of h state this fall.

AVG CREDIT MONEY.
Bankers Approve Hepburn Currency
BIZ.

The American Bankers association,
In session at Atlantic City, N. J.,
Thursday, by a viva vocc vote approx
ed the Hepburn bill, which favors
credit currency, and votad to continue
the currency commission.
The question was first discussed by
A. Barton Hepburn, chairman of the
currency commission appointed by the
association at st. Louis last year. This
commission had endeavored to secure
legislation to correct certain evils III
the currency system, but failed. It's
aim was to obtain more privileges in
the issuance OF circulating notes SO as
to relieve frequent stringency in the
money market.
When Mr.. Hepburn finished a mo-
ton was made to continue the curren-
cy commission, and Immediately there
was q protest from Delegate Yates, of
Omaha. He said there was no public
sentiment for the Hepburn bill. h
question also, he said, was a political
one, n the members of the associa-
ton should remember 1896, "when we
only pulled through by the skin of u
teeth"
What we need" he said, "is reform
of banking methods. We should use
the cash reserves locked up in wash
ington n not ask congress to put out
speculative notes guaranteed by the
people of the United States. They will
not stand for it,"
e. J. Parker, Of Quincy, ILL.,, sug-
gested that h government obtain
control of all the clearing house
which could, he said, be operated as a
central bank to relieve stringency in
the money market and would thus
eliminate the necessity for another in
flation Of the currency. .t

A summary of the report just sent to
the printer by the United States Bureau
of Labor, of which Charles P. Neill is
the head, covering the year 1906, shows
that the prices of food were generally
higher during every month of that year
thai in the corresponding month of 1905.
The price in December was 4 S-lOths per
cent higher than the average for the year
1905, and the year as a whole showed a
higher average than any since lS9O, the
period covered by the bureaus investlga-
ton. The increase of last year applled
uneqIally to twenty-five of the thirty ar
ticles showing the greatest advance were
lard, evaporated apples. pork, bacon, ham,
fish, mutton and butter. The retail prices
of food were 29-10ths per cent higher
than in the previous year.
The report deals also with the question
of wa ges for manual workers, and gives
figures showing that the advance in wages
per hour over the preceding year was
greater than the advance in the reta'l
prices of food. That is to say, the pur-
chasing power of IN hours wages as
measured by food was greater last year
than the year before. The increase IN
This purchasing power was l 41Oths per
cent. As comp ,red with the ten years
averag &c from 1890 to 1899, the wages per
hour were 24 2-1Oths per cent higher, and
the number of employees ~ 9-1Oths per
cent greater. and the average hours OF
labor a week 4 Cloths per cent lower. In
the principal manufacturing industries OF
the country the average wages were
4 5-1Oths per cent higher than in 1903
The greatest increase was in the manu-
~facture of cotton goods, where the wages
were II 2-10ths per cent higher, and in
only one industry, that of paper and
wood pulp, was there a decrease, namely
/ 1-1Oth per cent.

AT PANAMA..
Work Progressing on the Big Dan
and Other Main Fcatures

Work froErcssaES on the Big Dan
and Other Main Features.
The work on the locks and dams AZ
Panama has taken such shape that II
is now possible to see something or
their form. 1t is believed that tbs
actual masonry work can be com.
menced at the Gatun locks within eight.
cen months. Four steam shovels ara
now digging out the sites for the locks.
and construction can be begun after the
excavation for the top lock of the flight
is completed. Two steam shOvels are
preparing the site for the erection of
the spillway works of the Gatun dam.
Railroad trestles are being erected
across the line that will mark the in
side and outside boundaries Of the big
dam, and from one OF these dirt trains
are now dumping dirt upon the site of
the dam.
Preparatory to the installation of
pipeline dredges, by which more rapid
work on the dam will be possible, the
Charges River has been diverted from
its main channel and damned. The
pipeline dredges should be Installed by
SohNloIy L VhCii INT WI ~ 'aluA
will be as actively in progress as that
at Culebra. Suitable sand and rock for
the big masonry locks have been To-
Gated, and, what is equally interesting
to the engineers, material for the man.
ufacture of all the necessary cement
has been located on the Isthmus. 1t is
hoped, however, that cement can be
secured for such a price in the United
States as to make it more advisable to
procure the needed supply there in
stead Of manufacturing it on the 18th
mus.
The general features. designs and de-
tails OF the Gatun and other locks have
been worked out, together with the
general type and number Of lock gates
to be used. The survey Of all the coun-
try to be converted into the great Ca
tun lake has been completed and fin
!shed reports show that the area will
be III square miles.

PECULIAR BURGLARY CASE.
Man accused Because of Taking Own
Grip from Building.

GRIP from BUllullS.
Whether or no a man is guilty OF
burglary when he enters a building
and takes possession of his grip and
other belongings which a been
seized for a board bill will be deter
mined as the result of the trial of a
case during a term of state circuit
court in Aurora county.
The defendant in the unique case is
William Turner, a young man who re-
sides at the new town of Stickney, in
the southern part of Aurora county.
His grip and other belongings were
seized by Landlord Bourett, of the
Stickney hotel, in lieu of payment of
a board bill. Taylor is charged with
having forced an entrance into the no.
tel building. where he tool possession
Of his property and removed it to
his own quarters.
The landlord, when he discovered
h had been done, caused the arrest
of the young man on the serious
charge of burglary. If he is convict
ed on the charge his action in entering
a building and taking possession of his
own property will result in his being
required to serve a term of several
years in the Sioux Falls pe~nitentiary.

why American Marriages Fail.

Again a woman is finding fault with
American wives and complaining OF the
failure of American marriages. This time
it is Anna A. Rogers in the Atlantic
Monthly, who says that the excessive
education and excessive physical coddlins
of young women and their devotion to
physical culture and sports, has evolved
a hybrid feminine h is q cross between
d magnifed, rasher unmannerly boy and
a spoiled. ~exacting creature who sincerely
loves herself alone. Thus, explains this
sociologist, "a slipshod, unchiyalrous COM
panionship' has grown up between the
sexes which after marriage is found to
be "a cause for tears or temper" one
contributory cause, she says, is the exist
ence of 1921 courts empowered to grant
