Palace of 1906 and the In

VIM. nj. Smith, treasurer of the
corn palace committee, has just made
public his statement for the corn

the palace opened last year there was
a debt Of over 5000 that the COM
mittee had to reckon with and after
the close of the enterprise and AN

and on which Il large payment was
made one year ago.
This profit represents Il large at

flom the surrounding towns, and
they we've given their moneys worth
in attractions last year. The COM
lnittee provided the most varied en-
tcltainment that bad evGr been given
before ana everybody who came to
the corn palace a enthusiastic over
it. aud it's Just such a reputation that
the committee proposes to keep up
for the coming years. At the present
time the members have under con-
sideration the main attraction for
next lall. and there seems to be no
question but what the contract will
be clos d Ii. a few days, and the best
musical EXAMINATION in the United
States will be brought to Mitchell.

SENATOR GAMBLE WON OUT
Made Explanation OF Charges in Sen
atorial Caucus and He Was
Endorsed Without Dissent.
Without Dissent.

Pierre, Jan Especial to Repuh-
lican. Promptly at ten O'Clock today
the republican members of the legis-
latule met In joint senatorial
caucus, Chairman Cook, OF the re-
publican state central committee
presiding. e. r. Kruger acted. as
secretary. +. NJ. BIyne OF Faulk
asked that Senator r. j.. Gamble he
asked to appear before the caucus
and upon request spoke of the
charges which have recently been
hurled against him succeeding the
November election. In substance
Senator Gamble said that the motives
back OF the accusations were not
pertinent. that the matter of impor-
lance is whether they are true or
false and whether ii true they are
dn%swerable. He is chairman .sof.a
committee of congress which carries
with it a clerkship who is employed
by the year and is employed in his
limited duties whether in Washing-
ton or elsewhere. Several young men
had been employed in this and SINH
lar positions, among them Winsor
Daugherty of Yanktn, Bridgeman OF
Vermillion, McClaren, j. j. Schlecta
and others. His son was employed
in similar capacity through an
emergency when a competent steno-
grapher vas not at the time avail
able. The only time when Ralph
Gamble served and was in school
was in the latter part of 1905, when
awaiting the arrival of Willis French
to take the position at beginning of
1905, and it was only a two hours
ride from Washington and did per-
form the duties of the position the
same as others do in similar posi-
tlons. Every dollar of salary was
paid directly to Ralph Gamble and
by him used in his school work.
This in substance is the explanation
which a made at considerable
length and in specific detail.
At the conclusion Senator Dillon,
Of Yankton, stated that the caucus
had no power Of investigation and
the house and senate had and they
we're the places where an investiga-
tion should be had of all officers il
that was found necessary. He con-
cluded by placing Senator Gamble in
nomlEation.
The motion was seconded by nearly
all the counties. On motion Senator
Camille was endorsed without a dis
senting vote. More than three
fourths OF the counties seconded the
nomination and the voting was en-
thusastic and the applause emphatic.

How Prince Louis Napoleon WA

How Prince Louis Napoleon Wa
KILLED by the Zulus.
How Prince Louis Napoleon was kill
ed by the ZLlus June 1, 1879, is told
graphically in the book by Sir Evelyn
Wood, who took part in that war. The
little party which the prince accompa-
MED WIS Surprised and attacked. Sir
Eveiyu writes: The Zulus in pursuit
ran first after the two white soldiers
who were on the TANKS. three or four
men, headed by Labanga, following
the prince. His horse had jumped just
as he was mounting, and his sword fell
out of Its scabbard. He was very ac,
tive and was vaulting on his horse i'll
motion when the wallet on the front
of the saddle broke away, and he fell
to the ground. being at this time only
sixty yards behind the (British) fugl
tives. There We're men who ac-
tually fought the prince. When Lam
galebele, pursuing the fugitives, first
saw Labanga. he was running way
from the prince, who was rushing at
him. Labanga. crouching in the grass,
threw an assagai at him. The first as
sagai stuck in the princes thigh, and,
withdrawing it from the wound, he
kept his foes at bay for so1le minutes
In the natives words: He fought like
q lion. He fired two shots. but With
out effect, and l threw an assagai Mt
him, which struck BIN, as l said at the
time, but ] always Il. lowed Labanga's
claim to have killed him, for his assa-
ga hit the prince in the left shoulder,
q mortal wound.'"

DIED A BEGGAR.
The Pathetic Career Of John STOW
the English Antiquary.

h Pathetic Career of John Stow,
the English Antiquary.
John Stow. the celebrated English
antiquary. was a remarkable man. He
was born OF poor parents about 1925
and brought up to the tailor's trade.
Fol forty years his life was passed
among needles and thread, but in the
few leisure hours which his trade al
lowed him he had always been a fond
reader of legends. chronicles. histories
and all that told of the times that
We're past. BY such reading he grew
to be so attached to old memoirs that
when about forty years of age he
threw down his needle, devoted him
self to collecting them and followed
his new profession With the faith and
enthusiasm of an apostle. Short Of
means, he made long journeys afoot
to hunt owe n ransack colleges and
monasteries. and, no matter how worn
and torn might be the rags of old pa
pers which he found, he kept all, re-
viewing, connecting, copying, compar-
ing, annotating, with truly wonderful
ability and good sense. Arrived at
fourscore years II no longer capable
of earning a livelihood, he applied to
the king, and James L., %consenting to
his petition, granted to the man who
had saved treasures Of memoirs for
English history the favor of wearing a
beggar's garb and asking aims at
church doors. In this abject state,
forgotten and despised, he died two
years later.

beware the Man Who Blows Smoke
Through His Nostrils.
A popular practice of many smokers
consists in discharging the smoke in

through the nostrils. This is ever
considered by some to be essential to
the full enjoyment of the flavor of the
tobacco.
The London Lancet. while acknowl-
edging that perhaps under ordinary
circumstances no harm Is done to the
smoker save to his sense Of smell, has
sounded a note of warning against the
habit as a possible dissemination Of dis
ease. Hay fever and other annoying
complaints have been spread through
transporting households by the I'm
thinking visitor who habitually blew
smoke through his nose.
The surface traversed by the tobacco
smoke before issuing from the nose, it
u remarked by the Lancet, is mois-
tened with the natural secretion Of the
mucous membrane lining 1t, and this
secretion is mingled with the fluid dis
charged from the conjunctival sac pro-
tecting the eyes. 1t therefore contains
numerous micro organisms, which,
floating in the air, have become attach
ID to the moist and stick surface Of
the conjunctiva, as we'll as those which
pass over the surface of the nasal
membrane. AS Tyndall long ago show
ed, germs are completely filtered of
from the air inhaled by the extensive
and irregular surfaces presented BY
tbs turbinal bones. These germs are
carried into the air by the man who
blows smoke through his nostrils.

LIEN ON MANS LEG.
Shylock Case In Which Flesh and
Blood Judgment Is Asked.

Seattle, Wash.-Sut has been be-
gun In Justice Carroll's court, the ma
ture of which may well cause Shylock
of the drama to retire. For not only
does the present litigant demand an
entire right leg, but in addition, asks
judgment In the sum of s25 from the
defendant named In the action.
In the complaint filed Jules J. Pen
sis alleges that last May the defend
ant, John Spreutels. who was in sore
need of leg, asked for the loan of $45
with which to provide an artificial sub
stitute The money was given, and in
return a promise exacted from Spreu
tells that when fully equipped he
would repay the loan in labor to be
performed for his benefactor at the
rate Of $40 month.
The deal was made. The money was
turned over for the purchase of the
leg and the addition made to Spreu-
tells anatomy. All went well for a
time, and then, the complaint says, the
defendant In the present action be-
came dissatisfied. Soon he left his en-
ployer. taking both legs with him.
Now Pensis wants his money, and
failing to get that, demands that he
be given the care and custody of the
artificial leg until such time as Spreu-
tells is prepared to produce the balance
OF the loan held to be still unpaid.
