PLEASANT REUNION
AND CURIOUS ERROR
INSTEAD OF FUNERAL

Yankton, S. D., April 1.-Wm. Wright,
Of Medina, o.. is here on a visit to his
brother Newell Wright, game warden of
this county. 1t is not an ordinary visit
either. it is a visit brought about in a way
not explained yet. Saturday last William
Wright got a telegram. 1t read: Father
cannot live, come at once"
So he came at nee. In fact he was
coming all the time until he struck a
wreck which delayed him several hours.
He got here very early Thursday and his
brother tumbled out Of bed to let him In.
Newell Wright nor any member of his
family had sent a telegram and he was
very healthy and looked the part.
Win Wright paid $3.50 delivery fees on
the yellow message from Cleveland to Me-
dina, and paid his fare out here, same as
legislators do nowadays. He Is going to
pay his fare back again, too, some SEQ
miles. Then he will figure up the trip and
try and trace that telegram. He thinks
he has a kick coming for the way his
pocketbook has been worked to say moth
ing of the worry incident to such a trip.
In the meantime the two brothers are en-
loving the reunion.

DIES REFUSING TO
DlvULGE HER IDENTITY

Lincoln, Neb., March 29.-Refusing
to tell the attending physician whether
she had any relatives living whom she
wished notified, in case of an unfa-
vorable ending, Gladys McNicol, a pref
ty young woman, went to the operat-
Ing table last Friday in the city hos
pitaI.
Yesterday she died. All efforts to
discover her real name or where her
parents reside have proved fruitless..
Several who saw her at the morgue
said her parents were wealthy resi-
dents Of North Platte, but nobody has
proved this to be true.
The girl came here several weeks ago
and vafnly sought to secure an OPEN
ing at n of the vaudeville theaters.
She had an exaggerated idea Of her
capabilities as an actress, but failed
miserably when given a chance to sing.
She took to waiting on table, but q
week g entered a Ninth street resort.
She said h had twice attempted to
take her life, once by hanging and once
by poison while in Minnesota.
Why should I let my relatives know
about my failure?' she replied to the
surgeons query. Several DAYS ago
got word that my sister was already
buried. 1 chose this life against the
Wishes OF my parents, relatives and
friends. but I'll am sorry if / have

CAR SHORTAGE TO LAST
Railroad Says Nothing of Thousands OF
Cars Belonging to Other Com

Sioux Falls, S. D., April 1.-Ofi-
Gals of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul Railroad as an llluStra-
ton of the seriousness of the situation
which confronts the railroad compan-
les, have officially notified the state
board of railway commissioners that
more than 10000 cars belonging to the
company are at present on other roads,
n no earthly power can get them
back until the b~lockades are relieved.
AT many points on the road mills have.
been compelled to shut down, while at
other places they are forced to oper-'
ate on half time or less owing to the.
shortage of cars.
There does not appear to be any
grounds for hoping that the car hort
age situation will be relieved in the
near future, but in the meantime thd
South Dakota railroad commissioners
will do everything within their power
to see that there is al equitable dis,
tribution of such empty cars as are
available in this state.
Do Little But Talk.
While in the case of car shortages
the board can 10 little beyond calling
the attention of division s~uperintendl
to the matter, the board endeav,
ors in cases of discrimination in fur
nishing cars to adjust matters to tho
satisfaction of those making the COM
plants.
During the meeting OF the board just
held here about 200 farmers in the VIZ
entity of Letcher notified the board they
have organized a farmers elevator
company, with the intention of estabi
fishing an elevator at Letcher, and that
following the usual procedure they will
make application direct to the Mil

plication is not granted they will carry

BAN ON SOFT DRINKS
AT YANkTON RESERVATION

Sioux Falls, S. D., April 3.-United
States Indian Agent Taylor, of Yankton
agency, has issued an order which has
created something of a sensation
among the Indians belonging at the
agency.
The order prohibits the sale of pop
or other soft drinks to the Indians at
the agency. The Indian agent states
that the order was issued with the OBJ
iject of preventing some of the Indians
from spending the amount of their
monthly checks almost entirely on soft
drinks, instead of purchasing necessi-
ties, as they should. 1t appears that it
has been the practice of some of the
indians to spend practically all of their
money for soft drinks, such as pop.
Agent Taylor also states that
he has well founded suspicious
that through the medium of these
soft drinks intoxicating liquors have
been sold to the Indians by some un-
iscrupulous parties who reap a good re-
,enue from their trade with the In
dams. n that the only way he
could stop he practice was to abso-
Ilutely prohibit the sale of soft drinks
ito his Indians.
Drunkenness has been on the in
among the Yankton Indians dur
