CHANT OFFERS SUIT CLOTHES
FOR EVERY CONVERT

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-A dispatch
to the Record-Herald from Carrot,
Ind, says:
Adam Stewards clothing store was
stormed yesterday by 200 men who
claimed suits of clothes as recon-
pense for accepting the Baptist
faith. Stewart is a loyal Baptist
and recently announced that he
would present a suit to each man
who came into the church. Rev.
Dan Shannon, Baptist revivalist, has
been holding meetings here during
the past three weeks and quite late
ly has increased the number of his
converts at surprising rate. APP
parently every citizen in the place
who needed a suit of clothes was
coming to the front on the evange-
lists call.
Shannon and Stewart will decide
who of the converts are actually
converted. These will receive new
wardrobes.

MORE CANADIAN
PACIFIC STOCK
MEET TO AU-
THORPE ISSUE OF $2s,S2o, 900
TO COMPLETE THE $4,000, 900
THOUGHT NECESSARY FOR
DEVELOPMENT

MONTREAL, Que, Dec. go
Stockholders of the Canadian Paci-
fic railway met in special session
here today for the purpose of sanct-
ing the issue of capital stock to the
amount of $2S,320,000, in such
sums and at such terms as the direc-
tors may think proper. This issue
will complete the authorized capital
stock of the company to $15O,OOO,-
600, of which 1921, $4,000 has al
ready been issued.
The authorization of the addition
al issue at the present time, 1t is
officially explained is in keeping
with the policy of the road in provid-
ing for it's requirements ahead, and
at the same time to give each year
to it's stockholders the right to sub
scribe to new stock upon terms
which offer the equivalent of an ex-
ira dividend.
Regarding the purposes to which
the proceeds of the new stock are
likely to be put, it is said that prob
ably part of the new funds will be
used in connection with the plan
which has been discussed to connect
the Canadian Pacific lines with Sc
attic by a line directly controlled
by that system. The Canadian Pa
cific already controls the Spokane
international, and the construction
of a line to Seattle would bring it
still more closely into competition
with the Hill lines in the North
west.

1t cures obstinate cases of eczema
1t cures all skin itching 1t cures

Mr.. James NJ. Lilly, engineer in

Some three years ago I had occa-
sion to use some demedy for itching
skin trouble, and upon the strong
endorsement OF Doan's Ointment, by
those who had used them, I procured
box and it's use proved conclus-

CASE
NEXT WEEK
PLAIN INSANITY WITHOUT ANY
FR1LLS WILL BE DEFENSE IN
SECOND TRIAL OF THAW FOR
MURDER OF STANFORD WHITE

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-One
week from today Harry X. Thaw
will be called a second time before a
jury to M axe his defense to the
charge of having murdered STAN
ford White. 1t is said there will be
no further delay.
There have been many rumors as
to the plans of the defense for the
second hearing of the case, and it
has been predicted that an entirely
new line of action might be follow
ed. 1t can be authoritatively stated,
however, that the defense will again
be the same, the Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw will again relate her story to
the jury and that an imposing array
of expert alienists will again under
take to establish the theory that
Thaw was insane at the time he
killed Stanford White in the Madi-
son Square roof garden, but has so
far recovered his mental balance
since that time as to be no longer a
menace to the community and there
fore is entitled to freedom.
In the coming trial, it is declared
there will be no mention made of
higher" or "unwritten" law, but
the defense will adhere strictly to
the plea of legal insanity at the time
the act was committed.

BERT YOUNKMAN
FORMER LEWISTON BARBER
WANTS $500 FOR FIRST BABY
BORN AT BOSTON HARB0R
NEW TOWNSHIP NEAR OLYM-
PIA a.,

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 30.-Al-
leging that c. D. Hillman has re-
fused to carry out his agreement to
pay $500 to the parents of the first
of land near Olympia, H. D. Younk-
man, a Green Lake barber, has
buckled on his armor and made a
solemn vow that he will wreak ven
geance on the real estate man.
Younkman is the father of the first
baby born at Boston Harbor. He
has demanded his reward, but Hill
man asserts that he is not entitled
to it, and has fatty refused to pay.
Younkman has hired an attorney
to fight his case, but his fatherly
pride has been so deeply aroused
that his friends fear that he will not
have the patience to wait for the
slow wheels of the law to grind out
decision, but will resort to a
speedier method. Younkman openly
declares that he %ill meet Hillman
If he has to wait until next spring,
and that when they do come togeth-
er, the collision is going to be some
thing awful. There is blood in his
eye, and his friends have implored
the seller of land to employ a body
guard.
when I came here last summer
from the east, an entire stranger"
explained the indignant barber yes
terday, 81 saw the extensively adj
vertised offer of Hillman to pay
$500 to the parents of the first baby
born on his land, and decided to
take advantage of it. l bought a
tract of ground with house on it,
paying $1,000. Before making the
purchase, however, took the pains
to ask Hillman personally If he
meant just what he said, and he re-
piled afirmatively. The converse
ton took place aboard the steam
boat on the last excursion to the
townsite given by Hillman."
The infant whose father fondly
expected was to bring prize of
$500 with it, was born at Boston
Harbor three weeks ago. 1t is
fine-looking baby girl. Hillman was
taken by surprise, and when the
happy parents came around for the
prize, he said he could not pay the
money under the circumstances.
The real estate man asserts that
he is the victim of conspiracy be-
tween the Green Lake barber and
the stork. He defends himself on
the grounds that Younkman had a
tip from the stork that the latter
was going to pay visit to his home,
and took advantage of the advance
information to try to get the money
by get-rich-quick methods.

ROBBERS LOOT CANovA BANK.
Guards Tcrrorize Citizens While the
Dynamiters Work.

About o'clock Thursday morning
the Peoples State Bank of CanoVa
was blown open and $4,000 stolen.
Late details show that the robbery was
one Of the most sensational aHalrs
of the kind this year
That the robbers are part OF the
gang that has been working In the
northwest all fall seems certain. They
began operations in the northern part
of South Dakota some weeks ago.
then went to North Dakota, where
they have been working the past few
weeks, and now appear to be working
southwark again.
Such of the residents of CanoV3
as were aroused by the noise of the
dynamite explosions in the bank
building were intimidiated TO such an
extent by the pickets placed In all
avenues of approch by the yegSmen
that they dared not approach the
vicinity of the bank. The robbery was
conducted in true Jesse James style,
and after securing between $4,000 and
$1,000 in cash the robbers were
shrewd enough to make their escape
without leaving a single clew.
Ope; atoms were begun by the rob-
bers at about / o'clock. They set off
foTr charges Of dynamite. The whole
font of the bank building was blown
out and the whole safe and bank were
completely wrecked. The robbers over
looked $1,000 in cash which was not
in the big safe. They are supposed to
have made their escape by team.
The bank was fully insured against
burglars. 1t is owned by DR.. G. A.
Butler, of Dell Rapids, and William
Butler and Max Beveridge, of Canova,
the latter being cashier of the bank.
Deputy Sheriff Derfey, Of Miner
county, who was in Sioux Falls Thurs
day, having gone direct there for the
purpose of endeavoring if possible to
secure some clew to the robbers, tells
an interesting story of incidents in
connection with the robbery. The
number of men who took part in the
affair is variously estimated at from
five to eight. 1t is positively known
that there were three men patrolling
the streets while two were at work
in the bank
Before attacking the bank they
broke into Canova hardware store
and stole three shotguns and some re-
volvers.
