was what is known as 'quotion' ver-
diet, where each juror wrote on slip
Of paper the sum he considered right
and then an average was struck. Upon
the defendant appealing for new trial,
Judge Mccoy granted same upon the
grounds of an excessive award and by
reason of the quotion verdict. This
time the jury in Brown county where

Farmers over in the vicinity of Huron
are carefully watching the develop
ments of the green bug, which made its
appearance in the wheat fields in this,
Beadle county week ago. Up to this
time 20 damage Is perceptible, and IL is
thought that with favorable weather
the crop will mature very rapidly and
that small damage will result from this
pest The bug also exists in fields in
Yankton and Sanborn counties and by
experts is said to be tn same species as
those creating sad havoc in the fields in
Oklahoma, Iowa. Kansas and Nebraska.
Jacob Low, farmer living nine
Z, found the badly decomposed body of
q middle aged man on his farm. The
coroner and the sheriff went out and
examined the body, which was in
horrible condition. The coroner
believes the body has been lying in the
field for about two weeks. They are
no indications Of foul play, and it is
believed that death resulted from
natural causes or from exposure. The
had gray hairs and reddish mustache
and although dressed as laboring man
wore good clothes About two weeks
ago Mr. Lowe, says that man answer
ing the description interrupted loves
son while the latter was blowing and
slapped his face, afterwards acting
irrationally and finally running away.
There was nothing on the body which
might lead 10 an naturalization, and it
is so decomposed that nothing but the
clothes would give such clue.
As part of the commencement exer-
cises of Dakota Wesleyan university

WE'VE kept the price of tub butter down to 32 cents per pound this winter, and the quality of the tea and coffee WE sell cannot be purchased in the city at the price we sell it. Then, again, see those premiums WE give with one pound of our warranted good Baking Powder at 45 cts per pound, Any one of them will cost you more than we ask for the Baking Powder.

appointed. 1t was prose. 1t ran as
follows:
"a man named Barker had n dog
that barked, so be called it Barker be-
cause 1t parked and because his own
name was Barker. SO the man was
Barker, and the dog hat parked was
Barker. The man didn't bark, al
though his name was Barker. Barker
and Barker went for a walk, and
Barker barked-that Is, dog Barker,
not man Barker. In fact, dog Barker
parked 80 much that man Barker said:
Barker, don't bark SO often. You new
er hear me bark Just then man
Barker barked his shin on the bark of
n tree and barked like anything"

Loaend of ST. Winifred WeII.

a romantic legend hangs around st.
Wlnffred we'll. CPadocus, u neighbor-
Ing prince, smltten with the beauty of
a Holywell damsel and reused to anger
by her coyness, struck off her head as
she fed from his unwelcome attentions.
The head, rolling down the hill, rested
near the church, N from the spot the
present copious spring gushed forth
as the earth opened to swallow up the
assassin. st. Beuno, who was passing,
picked up the head and, with IL skill
which LIZ now lost to the medical pro
f~esston, restored the maiden, with only
q slender white line on her neck as evil
dence Of the miracle. But not only did
the well spring from the spot where
the head rested, but the moss on it's
brink was supposed to be possessed of
n particularly fragrant smell, while the
blood marks on the stones assumed
many beauti'" tlnts on June %, the
anniversary Of the event. Today the
we'll is contained In n rectangular
building. and the water flows into a
large basin In the shape of an eight
pointed star.-London Chronicle.

Spain's Canny Railroads.

In Spain the railroads do not lose a
chance to make a little profit ever In
the case Of the nontravelers. When
you see somebody off in that country
you must pay for the privilege. The
railroads all sell billetes de anden,
which are good for the platform only.
These cost generally 5 centimos, equiv
alent to a cent In American money.
Just why this is done It Is hard to see,
because persons entering q train can
not very we'll avoid the conductor, who
is always making trips to inspect the
carriages. If a person attempted to
steal n ride In n carriage, he would
have small chance Of getting away
with 1t. If caught, he would have to
pay n penalty Of just twice the fare
between he point where he was dis
covered and the point where tickets
last were inspected.-New York Sun.

Handling Live Wirea.

Never handle an electric wire Oest It
be "alive"O with the naked hand, but
use n nonconducting substance as q
protector. Any good nonconducting
substance will supply protection.
Rubber-In form of gas stove tube
or water hose, could be thrown over a
wire to pull it from It's connection with
a live wire.
Porcelain-In form of a bit of com
mon crockery or Il floor tile, hand plate
for door, n stone ink bottle.
GAass-A stout bottle, a glass rod OF
n pane Of glass could be used to dis.
lodge a wire from It's connection with
a trolley wire or other current feeder.
Wool-A wooden scarf, stocking, coat
or wrap.
Cotton-Any piece Of cotton garment
or stout cotton Irvine.
Silk-Scarf or other garment.
Any of these materials In goodly
thickness could be used to protect the
hand In removing a live wire or even
using an instrument to cut 1t through.

He Had Mo Choice.

The wife of a dynamo tender went
to a haberdasher's to buy a necktie for
her husband. She selected n brilliant
red one, ready made, whereupon the
young and inexperienced salesman
with compassion for the future owner
was moved to remark:
Excuse me, missus, Is this tie for
your husbandf"
1T 1s," replied the woman.
Don't you think he'd rather have
some other color? I'm afraid he won't
wear this red tie"
"Oh, yes, he Will" said the woman
firmly. He'll have to-he's dead."-
