not fix the exact spot where she took the

too, seemed about to break down again.
Mr.. Lee took up the examination Of Miss

handled her as gently as If she had been

by his handkerchief, was a tender. loving

deepest sort.
The words seemed to have their effect
upon the father. He took one look at his
daughter and then his eyes roamed about
the courtroom till they rested upon his Sis
ter-in-law, Miss Snead, who sat near him.
Time and again he tried to keep his eyes
from the witness stand but he was unable
to, and every time tears came into his eyes
he was compelled to hang his head and
brush them away.

during the thirty-five minutes the young
woman sobbed or answered the questions
of the attorneys. Her expression was one
in which womanly anxiety and fright were
intermingled.
Now" said Mr.. Lee. after Miss Loving
had her first cry, tell me when you came
home from Mrs. Kidds house and when
you had your talk with your father
Miss Loving started off bravely.
1T was a little after l o'clock in the
afternoon when l reached home. and after
dinner l went to talk with my father. 1
went to his Office and we talked there.
Tell what your father said" urged Mr..
Lee.
He said she began, her lips quivering.
that my uncle. Mr.. Harry Snead, had told
him that l had been brought home from

unconscious. He said he wanted me to ex-
plain what it all means. And IL
She could go no further. Time and time
again she tried to force the words from her

then that she experienced the most terrible
part of her ordeal. Mr.. Lee famed her,
others passed her water. and 1t seemed for
a few minutes that she would collapse.
She struggled against her weakening, and
little by little her determination to do her
best won out.
With a mighty effort the young woman
drew herself up, clinched her hands and
began anew.

GRAND LODGE.
A. O. u. w. in Session in Sioux
Falls Important
Meeting.

Sioux Falls, May 2l.-The seven
teenth annual session of the grand
lodge of South Dakota, A. Q. .. W.,
which convened in Sioux Falls today
will be the largest and most important
gathering of this order ever held in the
state. Grand Master T. M. Simmons.
of this city, has completed his biennial
report, and from it some interesting
items have been CLEANED.
There are within this jurisdiction l5l
lodges, with a total membership OF
nearly 14,0OO about 1000 of which
We're added during the past two years.
Since the organization of the grand
Ioa"o for South Dakota there has been
collected and paid out 81, ,754, 0OO the
grand masters report is very complete
and indicates the healthy condition and
steady growth in all the lodges, and
gives detailed statements of the trans
actions of the order for the past two
years. Among recommendations OF
Grand Master Simmons is one suggest
ing that steps be Immediately taken to
provide workmen' s rural home for
aged and INDECENT members Of the
order, and to this end asks that pro-
vision be made for the purchase Of a
section of land centrally located and
easy of access from all parts Of the state
upon which a home such as he indi-
Gates shall be established. He also
urges that the premirm fee for new
members be aboli shed and that the
charter fee be reduced from $25 to $40,
and believes if said reduction is made
it will result in greatly increasing the
number of lodges; that the certificate
fee of 81 now charged be abolished.
Another important recommendation
is that the grand lodge commence at
once to create reserve fund, contend
ing that under the present plan of as
sessment and by centralizing the vari-
Gus funds of the order and investing
| the same in South Dakota real estate
mortgages a reserve fund of at least
$780, 900 can be accumulated in two
years and remain on the level 81 plan
of assessment.
Grand Master Simmons pays glow
ing tribute to the successful work Of
the deputies and recommends that the
deputy system be continued. He also
recommends the payment of fraternal
aid taxes for the assistance of weak
and less fortunate Jurisdictions. He
favors continuance of the plan inaug
urated two years ago in keeping up the
campaign foI new members during the
winter term by lodge visitation for
initiation Of classes in winter time and
lodge picnics during the summer.
On assessment rates the grand mas
ter recommends that the jurisdiction
adhere to it's present plan of assessment
and expresses the belief that actuarial
estimates are too high and exorbitant
and has tendency to drive healthy old
men as we'll as healthy young men
from the order. In conclusion Grand
Master Simmons expresses high appre.
citation for the assistance rendered by
Ulcers and members of the order dur
ing his administration.

WEALTHY WOMAN.
Dies in Deadwood-No Heirs
and No Will-Property
Revert to State.

Deadwood. May 20.-With no known
relatives to clai IN her estate, and with
no known will existing the wealth of
the late Mrs. John r. Wilson, mem
Der of the lady board of managers Of
the worlds fair. graduate of New
York law school and one of the most
beautiful women in the state of South
Dakota, will probably pass to the state
and become an asset of the school fund
of this state. The conditions of this
estate is almost unique in the annals Of
the state. In January last Mr.. Wilson
died leaving aside from his own re-
sources and liabilities, heavy life in
surapce which went to his wife and
which could not be touched for the
debts of his estate Mrs. Wilson sur
vived him only three months, and died
without making will. AS the insur
ance which he had left had become
part of her estate, it could not be
touched for the debts of his, and, in
the absence of relatives and of will.
the money must need go to the state.
A curious feature of the case, is that, a
short time before her death Mrs. Will
son told relative of her husband that,
in the new part of her house, was con-
cealed secret closet OF drawer. She
even went 80 far as to designate where
the key to this hidden recess would be
found, but still gave no inkling as to
the location of the closet. Since her
death, believing that if there is a will,
it may be found in this secret drawer,
thorough search of the house has
been made in an attempt to locate this
hiding place. The house is an old one,
to which extensive additions have been
made. One of the carpenters who
built the last addition was located.
He said that another carpenter, who
has since dropped out Of sight. would
be the only man who would know il
such a place existed. He, however,
suggested three places in which Sc
cret drawer might have been put
Thorough search, however. has thu
far been futile No trace of the hid
/ ing place can be found, and it il
| thought that this statement of Mrs
| Wilson may have been one of the delu
sions of illness. The beautiful furnish
ings of the house have been sold a
public sale and are being scattered
about the country, while one unusua
and interesting feature of remarkabl,
case is this 1t was Mrs Wilson 8 Gus
