ed here for the first lllrt is called
'sThe Bounding Trempll"." 1t is
introduced 10y d company of seven
Imported artists four imen and
three young women From a publish
ed description Of the act, the
following interesting facts are taken:
1.-The tremplin is an elaborated
acrotatic act performed on a plat
form in three sections. The end
sections are solid, but in the center
of the middle one there is an elastic
canvas. Above the entire apparatus
are two great wheels, and nearby is
suspended a mammoth ball. The
Stoves Troupe, which performs the
act. begins the display by a very
clever series of acrobatic feats, turn
ing single and double somersaults
from shoulder to shoulder with
wonderful agility. The tremplin is
then utilized to perform some aston
fishing feats. The artists spring
upon the elastic canvas, and being
thrown high into the air accomplish
the most difficult somersaults, and
finally land upon the shoulders .of
their companions on the end plat
forms. AT the climax of the act,
two Of the girls whirl around on the
great wheels at railroad speed, and
the globe. opening, unexpectedly
discloses the figure Of a pretty young
eill.
Among the other odd and curious
acts that are announced for the big
show are the famous Carmen Troupe,

On the Way to Marshall.

Brookings Press: The surveying
committe, of the Mitchell-Marshall
electric road, consisting of Messrs.
r. f.. Kerr, Of Brookings. d. b..
Miller. OF Mitchell, anu Q B. Ken
nedv, of Madison. arrived here by
team about noon Saturday, having
driven over the proposed route from
Mitchell to Bookings. They spent
Sunday here, and Monday started
out to finish the trip to Marshall.
The members of the committee were
enthusiast over the conditions as
they found them between here and
Mitchell. and are suIe that the road
will ultimately be built over Tie
route proposed. This ronte is almost
an air line FROM Mitchell To Mimi
eapolios, and passes through seven
county seat towns. and taps territory
not now occupied by railroads.

Liability of Employers.

Kansas City Times: The president
makes little distinction between the
liability of employers in the case of
a%voidable and unavoidable accidents
to employees. In either case, he de-
%clares, the hardships resulting from
accidents should be avoided so far
as a just system of compensation can
be made to obviate them. In any
event the public rather than the cor
poration will pay these Identities in
the end, since it is the tendency to
add to the public cost each addition
al item in the expense of operation.
But it is doubtful whether there
would be additional expense if an
agreed scale of compensation for in
juries could be applied, thus avoid
ing the cost of litigation for both the
injured and the defendant

With the Rockefellers, the Rogers,
the Archbolds, ETC., in Chicago be-
fore the federal court, we wonder
how much information those gentle
men will give that will disclose any,
thing of the nature of the financial
transactions Of the Standard OIL Co.
They realize, Of course, that every
word they speak tending tc inform
the court about the COMPANY will
be against their interests. We are
inclined to believe that Mr.. Rookie
Teller will withhold everything
possible. Mr.. Bryan wants the
limit Of punishment placed on Rookie
Teller and says that he ought to be
put in jail, which, he believes, will
be the only method to bring the COM
pany to a realization that it cannot
tread on the laws.of the United States
with impunity and bear down on the
people Of this country mercilessly.
The superstition that should the
1928. 900, 900 fine be imposed that the
pllce OF oil and gasoline would be
raised to get the money to pay the
line, and we suppose that it is true.

4 Notwithstanding the usual efforts
were put forth to make the celebra-
ton of the national holiday a sane
one and that words of warning we're
issued to exercise care in the dis
charge of firearms and all apparatus
in connection with the celebration,
the list of deaths and injuries is said
to be larger than ever before. Chica-
go papers have~made a report Of the
accidents and fatalities that occurred
over the country on the national hol-
iday. The dead is reported as being
~, 2,226 were injured and the loss
by fire is reported as being $780,
SIS. Pittsburg broke the record for
fatalities, as ten persons were killed
during the day and sixty suffered
some kind of injuries. 1t is quite a
price to pay for the celebration of
our independence, but it does not
seem to make much difference in the
warnings that are given to be care
full, as the element OF excitement is
altogether too strong to be kept in
control and people Of more than or
binary Intelligence will do things on
the FGurii: of July that they would
nor think of doing On any other day.

The Sioux Falls Argus-Leader
a y it has found another issue which
the insurgents are %springing and
that is that the stalwart newspapers
were using canned editorials. The
charge is a terrible one, and it
seems to come to light because there
was a similarity among a few news
papers with reference to the editor
ial remarks on Senator Kittredge's
address at Woonsocket. 1t is a ter
rible charge to make and doubtless
will be a potent factor in electing a
United States senator or governor or
the rest of the ticket. The Sioux
Falls Press is responsible for the
great detective work in this latest
unearthing of a gigantic deal. The
Press is still trying to show its graft
tude to the insurance commissioner
for the few crumbs in the way of
the publication of insurance state
ments that have been sent from that
department.

John D. Rockefeller has at las

John D. Rockefeller has at last
been called into court in Chicago as
the result of a subpoena issued by
Judge Lands, who is DESTROYS of
learning what Mr.. Rockefeller knew
of the financial condition of the
Standard Oil Co. of Indiana. When
the representatives of the Standard
learned that a subpoena was to be
issued for Mr.. Rockefeller and what
was wanted of him, the multi-mil-
Iionalre went into retirement
sought n of the various summer
resorts to avoid the service of the
court summons. When the officers
got hot or his trail the oil man
skipped to some other resort, and for
two weeks he kept the officers of the
federal court on the jump to find
him. On the day before the Fourth
n of the officers went to the home
of Rockefeller at Pittsfield, Mass.
and after being told that Rockefeller
was not there, went away. Later.
however, he returned and found the
oil king quietly sitting on his porch.
it didn't take the officer long to hand
out that summons of the court. Mr..
Rockefeller very innocently remark
ed that he did not know just what
the federal court wanted of him, and
it was evident from the manner in
which he was chasing Over tho co,,p-
try that he was not very anxious to
find out. The attorneys made every
effort to have Judge Lands let
Rockefeller off on account of his age
and business cares and to permit the
same testimony be given by other
representatives of the Standard.
Judge Lands was indignant at the
request, for he remembered that
once or twice before Rockefeller had
ignored a summons of the court when
he was wanted, and the Judge en-
phatically declared that Mr.. Rookie
fener would have to personally APP
pear in court, and that no matter
how much money he had it would
not have the least effect on the court.
Judge Lands did not propose to fool
With the gentleman any longer. and

Perhaps no town on the Milwaukee
extension is feeling the result OF
railroad building as is Rpaiu City.
With two lines Of railroad built into
it from the east the town certainly
ought to feel the impulse Of growing.
Within a week at the farthest both
of these roads will be running trains
into Rapid, and the dream Of the
Hills country for twenty-five years
will be realized. Rapid City has stood
still for a great many years-there
was nothing to make it grow more
than ordinarily, but with these two
great railroad systems invading the
place it is going to become quite a
commercial center-more in impor-
lance than a distributing center for
range and mining supplies, but for
supplying the outlying towns with
goods and merchandise. Mitchell can
reach over the vast reservation and
shake hands with Rapid City and
wish her abundant success in growth
and development-and that is just
what Mitchell is engaged in at the
present time-while the future holds
untold things for us.

Modest Claims often Carry the Most
Conviction.

When Maxim, the famous gun
inventor, placed his gun before a
committee OF judges, he stated its
carrying power to be much below
what he felt sure the gun would
accomplish. The result OF the trial
was therefore d great surprise, in
stead of disappointment. 1t is the
same With the manufacturers OF
Cllamberlain's Collc, Cholera and
Diarthoea Remedy They do not
publicly boast OF all this remedy will
accomplish. but prefer TO let the
users make the statements. What
they do claim. is that it will posi-

THE 7. N. BRENT STORE

Look out for the re-opening announce
ment of The T. ~ Brent Store. This
store has made extensive improvements
to store building; it is now one OF the
largest and best equipped stores in this
section OF Virginia. Many of the most
modern conveniences have been made,
such as ladies' reception room, dressing
room. toilet, etc. This store was one OF
the stores that expected an advance last
year in prices and bought largely OF
every line of goods for the coming spring.
Most every line OF these goods has ad-
vanced from 20 20 80 per cent. You
can readily see that this store can afford
to cell you these goods as cheap as any
other stores can buy them now. Theex-
tensive arrangements which have been
and are now being made for this stores
spring opening will surpass any OF the
great showings ever made by this store.
Three of this stores leading milliners
have been for some time visiting the
large millinery openings and work rooms
in New York, Philadelphia and Balti-
more getting the correct style ideas Tor
the coming season. These ladies have
been connected with this millinery de-
psrtment for years, and need no recon-
mendation as they are well known to
every lady in this community who loves
a stylish hat or bonnet.
