LAW NOT HELD VOID.
Statute Passed by Last Legislature
Not Subject of Ruling or Opinion.

The people of Lyman county some
time ago began the circulation of a
petition to secure an election on the
question of free range. While the
petitions have been pretty well cir
culated, it is now advocated that nc
election be held ION account of an
opinion Of the attorney general that
the law is unconstitutional.
can erroneous opinion has been
circulated in regard to this matter,
and the construction placed upon the
new law by Attorney General Clark,
who has given no official opinion.
The fence law, as it was supposed to
exist west of the river prior to the
last legislative session, was held by
him to be unconstitutional, but his
opinion was given wholly on that
law. Afterward a new law was
passed by the legislature, which vas
SO framed as to meet any possible
constitutional objections.
This law has not been before the
attorney general for any official &C.
ton, and he has given no opinion
concerning it. He was requested to
act as counsel in a civil suit on be-
half of an association of persons who
desired to test the new law, but he
declined to take a part or the ground
that it might interfere with his Off
cial duties
The 1907 law has not been before
either the state legal department nor
the supreme court for Interpretation,
and has not been officially passed
upon in any way.

CRAZY MAN STEALS BOY.
Fights to Keep Child When Caught
by Citizens.

ny SitlZcnSs
While the little son of Mr. and Mrs.
]. N. Cook, a barber, was playing in
front of his home at Mitchell a
stranger going by picked the boy up
in his arms and started on a run
down the alley. The mother did not
miss her boy until apprised of the
kidnapping a few moments later by
n of the neighbors.
The mother became frantic and
started in pursuit, calling for the as
sistance OF people she met on the
street, and in a short time a dozen
were in hot pursuit OK the k~idHappeT.
He was traced several blocks, and
finally was located in the hayloft Of
a barn, where he had taken the boy
and was tearing the clothes from his
body.
A hard fight was had before the
citizens got possession Of the boy.
The kidnapper was guarded in the
barn until Sheriff Cook arrived on the
scene, when the fellow yielded to ar
rest and was placed in Jail, followed
by an angry crowd of people who
threatened to mob the prisoner.
1t was afterward discovered that
the kidnapper's name is Frank Mar.
tin, and that he is partially insane.
He attempted to differ no excuse for
committing the act.

BIG BRIDGE
Railroad Engineers Are Not Triflins
With Missouri.

The indications now appear to be
that nothing further in the way of
active operations will be attempted on
the big railway bridge at Pierre until
after the .une rise If that plan is
carried out it will delay work on the
structure until some time in the win
ter, and delay the crossing of through
trains.
Before their first actual experience
with the Big Muddy the bridge people
thought they could hold false work in
the stream at any stage of water,
but with one experience a few days
ago with a ~three-foot rise from local
rains when they lost their false work
and had a narrow shave on n span
of the steel, they are not quite so GER
tain as TO what liberties they can take
with the big stream, and fear that the
June rise will be higher than the water
they had to contend with SO far this
spring.

MRS. SADIE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and 1t is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children well dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, busting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy,
Truly the work of such a woman
Is never done" and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of n
few years, the back begins to ache,
there is a displacement, Inflammation
or liberation of the abdominal organs,
a female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle of that wife and mother
to continue her duties is pitiful.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, made from native roots
and herbs, is the exact medicine a
woman needs whose strength is over
taxed. 1t keeps the feminine organs
in a strong and healthy condition.
In preparing for childbirth and re-
cuperating therefrom it is most eff
cient. 1t carries a woman safely
through the change of life and in
making her strong and well assists
her to be a good wife and mother.
Mrs. Sadie Abbott, of Jeanette,
Pa, writes a:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham-
81 suffered severely with pain every
month and also a pain in my left side. My
doctor prescribed for me but did me no
good: a friend advised Lydia f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and | wrote you in
regard to my condition. l followed your
advice and am a perfectly well woman Thu
pains have all disappeared and | cannot
recommend your medicine too highly"

samples of water to town taken from

c.. z. Furman's suit against st. Law

NOTHING DONE IN
REGARD To RATES
BY Commission in Session
This Week
ANO THEIR MEETING THIS MORNING
The Commission May Decide TO Post
pOne Final Action Until the
General Assembly Shall
Convene.
ANOTHER MEETING THIS MORNING

Unable to reach an agreement last
Saturday relative to the question of
passenger rate reduction IN Georgia,
the railroad commission will, when it
meets again this morning, postpone
final action for sixty days at least, it is
said.
The statement is founded upon au-
thentic information and there are good
reasons for accepting the representation
of facts.
According to the report, the differ
ences of opinion in the commission
will furnish an excuse for the post
ponement as to the scope of the reduc-
tions, and the methods of their ac-
complishments will furnish satisfac-
tory excuse for delay.
The legislature and other forces of
primary importance are the real causes
for postponement. 1t is the commits
sion's Difference 10 the general assemb-
ly, coupled with the declaration of the
Democratic platform for a two-cent
passenger rate.
This inclines the individual members
of the board to look with favor on the
postpOnement of action until after the
legislature has convened.

HER IDEA OF SWEELDOM'S WAYS
Falling Heir to Ten Million Is just
Like Having a Dream.--
Iowa Village Ideas of Met
rOpOIitdn Dress.

Mason, City, Ia, June 4.-That New
York's Four Hundred will sit up and
take notice when the wife of the $1O,-
900, 900 heir of the late James Henry
Smith appears there is the confident
prediction of no less a parsonage than
the wife herself-Mrs. George Grant
Mason, for several years a resident of
this village.
AS wife of division superintend-
ent OF the Milwaukee road Mrs. Mason
lived modestly and economically. But
since the great inheritance Mrs. Mason
has let it be known that any social or
other ambitions which may be gener-
ated shall be gratItied if money will
accomplish the purpose.
Mrs. Mason said today she knew
what New Workers expected of the
rich, and to that end she would prepare
for the grand entree. She has laid in
the following wardrobe for the oc-
casion:
One gown of white embroidered
batiste elaborately trimmed with Irish
lace.
One white net gown elaborated with
real lace
One white pongee suit trimmed with
lace.
One black and white pongee suit.
One suit of imported white embroid-
cred pique.
Besides these there are any number
OF lingerie waists.
The bill is said to be more than $2,-
900. In speaking of how it feels to
become suddenly rich, Mr.. Mason said:
''It seems to me just like one of those
dreams, where you dream of falling
from balloon. You wonder all the
time how long it will take to land and
then you-wake up. There are so many
sides to the whole thing that it has just
kept me laughing good part of the
time -
