closets. on the second floor. There
Ii also q chance to make a small
store room in the peak Of the roof
over the kitchen.
Store rooms are needed in every
house, they are not especially impor-
tant for newly-married folks, but
where thrift and economy receive the
attention that these virtues should
receive there is a continual replenish-
ing of the necessary and sometimes
unnecessary furnishings.
There is a necessity at certain
times in the year for furniture and
belongings that are not needed at
other times. In summer porch furni-
ture, such as hammocks and lawn
chairs are needed but they are in the,
way all winter unless some place is
provided to hold them. The cellar is
q bad place because 1t Is dusty where
there is a furnace and it is damp
without one. The only way to take
care Of these summer things in the
winter time Is to have a good store
room. Some families have several
trunks, suit-cases and other travelling
paraphernalia. 1t is common in a

Facts About Building stone.

Almost everybody knows the rule
Of the masons that stone used In
building should be placed that 1t will
lie as 1t lay in Its natural bed when
quarried. But Mr.. Francis Hoyt, In
the Engineering News, says that this
familiar rule Is not always to be de.
pended upon, and needs In many cases
to be supplemented with other pre-.
cautions. There are three planes OF
fracture known to quarrymen. The
rift" is the direction In which the
stone splits most easily; the grain"
that which IL next easiest; tho head
that which offers the greatest resist.
ance. In a paving. block the two
sides represent the rift fracture, the
top and bottom the grain, and the
ends the head. But In a quarry the
natural bed is sometimes consider.
ably inclined to the plane of the rift;
hence the imperfection Of the ordi.
nary rule for placing the stone In
building.

JAP SITUATION IS CLEARER
President Is Working Hard to Ad-
just the Trouble.

Washington.-The situation regard
ing q settlement Of the Japanese trouble
seems today in every way satisfactory.
The positive statement vas made to-
night by n of those who was most OPP
posed to t~emporizing with the Japanese
that a very few more conferences be-
tween the San Francisco authorities
and President Roosevelt would result
in an adjustment Of the whole question,
leaving a few details TO be arranged by
the president and Secretary Root.
It has been apparent from the time
the mayor and other officials OF San
Francisco consented to come to Wash
ington for a conference that President
Roosevelt had the situation in his own
hands. 1t Is said the local government
is willing to do exactly what the presi-
dent requests. and Mr.. Roosevelt has
been very careful to request nothing
which cannot be done without loss Of
pride or s~cif-respect by the Californians

PAD DEBTS Of BAILEY.


EA ~
Austin, Textile Bailey Investigate
ing committee had as Its only witness
today David r. Francis OF st. Lonis.
During the course Of his examination,
Mr.. Francis testified that the reports
that Senator Bailey had borrowed u.
500 and $500 from H. G. Pierce and
had not paid the amounts back, was q
mistake by reason Of the fact that he
had himself personally paid Pierce for
these identical pieces Of paper and re-
ceiyed his receipt for them, that he did
this because he was a friend OF Senator
Bailey, and had heard that there was
some talk about Bailey not having paid
Pierce for loans, and being a friend,
that he had protected him in this In
stance by paying the loans himself.
He could not remember exactly when
Bailey had paid him back, but he was
confident that he had done SO.

The idea used to be that only large

from the circuit breaker OF the bell
end should be so adjusted that the
point nearly touches the contact when
no current is flowing, Then the least
current flowing through the magnet
will cause the armature to move and
make contact, thereby closing the 10.

ture are in common use in telegraph
and fire alarm lines, remarks Popular
Mechanics, and can also be used for
battery call telephones.

The longest telegraph line In the
world, the idea Of the late Cecil
Rhodes, lacks less than 1000 miles of
completion. The distance is $500
miles. Through jungles, across des-
erts, over vast chasms, in the face OF
the most difficult obstacles engineers
have ever encountered, the work has
been carried on for eight years. Part
of the gap, about 400 miles, is through
tungles where no white man has ever

a pistressing,y Sad Accident.

Harry Lucas, the eleven year old
SON of Mr.. and Mrs. Melvin Lucas, who
live near Bakerville, was accidentally
shot and almost instantly killed Mon
day noon near his home. Father and
son we're returning with load of wood,
the boy carrying loaded 22-ritle,
which had been taken along for squir-
rel shooting. The boy suddenly called
to his father: "Father, I'm shot J"
Both got off the wagon, on opposite
sides, the boy going around to meet
his father and dropped dead with his
arms around his fathers neck An in
yestigation showed the bullet to have
entered the abdomen just above the
navel and it is presumed it lodged in
the spinal column. 1t is thought that
the boy allowed the gun to slide down
and in pulling it up the trigger caught
on stick of wood, snapped and dis
charged the cartridge.
Funeral services were conducted
Wednesday afternoon at the home by
Rev. Chapel. 1t was a most sad affair
and much sympathy is extended the
family in their sorrow.

Geath of Mrs. Hussong.

The saddest event in the history of
Smithwick vicinity was realized by
the friends who learned of Mrs. Hus-
songs death Saturday morning at 5:3O.
Scarcely a weeks time had elapsed
since the death of Mr.. Hussong and we
are hardly able to realize that husband
and wife are re- united in the world be-
yond and have left us for a happier
home. Both died at $40; Mr.. Hussong
on March 18th in the p. m. and Mrs.
Hussong March 23d in the a. m.
On the day of Mr.. Hussong's fune-
raj, DR.. Hargens was called and pro-
nounced Mrs. Hussong's case very
serious form of pneumonia. All that
loved ones and medical aid could do,
was done, but she seemed to grow
steadily worse, desiring only to meet
her husband in the great beyond.
Mrs. Husssong was born near Ham.
burg, Germany, in 1S49, and crossed
the ocean in 1881, residing in Iowa un-
til 1886. when she came to Dakota.
She is one of the oldest residents here
and we know we have lost kind, low
ing friend. She was ever impulsive,
kind hearted and generous, good
neighbor and friend and tender and
loving mother and wife.

He alone understands what Is best for

Rev. Rowden, of Hot Springs, con-
Quoted funeral services Monday at the
house and the remains were laid be-
side those of the husband in the new
German church graveyard.
All the sympathy that loving friends
can tender is extended to the grieving
ones. A FRIEND.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The afternoon set for the prelim-
mary contest, to decide upon our
representative to enter the orstorical
contest with Edgemont, has been post
poned from Friday, March 22nd, to
Friday, March %. Everyone is COR
daily invited to attend the prelim-

be given to those desiring to witness
the contest at Edgemont, providing a
delegation of twenty-five persons is
organized to go. The date for the con-
test has-not yet been decided upon.
The seniors held class meeting
Wednesday afternoon during their
Physics recitation period, for the
transaction of necessary business.
The class of '07 is quite proud of
itself for being the only class whose
members were present at school on
Friday afternoon, March end. OF
course the boys of all the classes are
generally present and in cases of
emergency not more than four or five
are absent at one time. But the girls
will you believe it when we say that
there we're sixteen of our classmates
Friday afternoon? They we're as fol
lows: Freshmen 6; Sophmores 5; Jun
iors 5 and Seniors o. The seniors
walking home from school would be
asked "Wasn't there any school this
afternoons" or perhaps, "What were
those high school girls doing this
afternoon running around over town."
We could only answer that they were
not at school for we didn't know what
had happened they left so suddenly.
On Monday morning the girls we're
called to the Supt's office in manner
resembling the way the barber calls
his customers, "next-next-next." At
9:55 a. NJ, the four High School classes
gathered in the assembly room and
listened to Prof. Shouse read q few
rules set down by the board regarding
the incident and explaining the mat
ter generally. The guilty parties
we're then called to the Office enmasse
and returned to their desks in short
time only to get their books and re-
tire to their homes until certain con-
ditions we're fulfilled. Moral-Go to
school little children and never leave
without the consent of thy teachers.
