On Thursday evening about
nine o'clock, a Mr.. McGriff got
into a quarrel with his wife; she
locked herself in a room and re-
fused to come out by all the gen.
tie persuasion of Mr.. McGriff and
some of the neighbors; finally
the police had to be called, then
threats to tear down the door got
her to say she would come out.
When she opened the door a shot
rang out and Mrs. McGriff fell to
the floor badly wounded, with a
smoking revolver in her hand.
Surgeon and coroner were called;
she rallied and talked freely; ad-
mitted it was her own bad tenn
per, but she did not want to die.
The pain was too severe to shut
file off, when in her right mind.
She is now in the county hospi-
tai and will probably get we'll.

almost every season, but most of
it was out of the way of frost.
The crop is quite good in this To-
cality. There is no tobacco raised
near this city. Why, we do not
know, as the land is quite fertile
in Jay county. The tomato crop
was fair here, but not many far
mers care to raise them. The
canning factory is running day

be over in a few days.
While we were resting about

nearly fifty winters has bleached

Should he let up on themF
BY LEO.

BY LEO.
President Roosevelt, in one OF
his speeches down south last week
conveyed the idea that many peO-
pie have been trying to persuade
him to cease the prosecution OF
transgressing corporations; to let
up on them. He did not state
what reason they gave for the
strange advice to the chief mag
istrate, but we readily guess that
if any reason was given, it was
something like what we see and
hear from the special friends of
corporations; namely, 1T hurts
business. If that was the plea
we can easily see the scorn and
indignation pictured on the coun-
tenance of the President on re-
ceiving such a fiimsy, unreason-
able reason.
Must we allow fragrant viola
ton of the law, wink at gross in
Justice in order to facilitate gree
dy money-making? Must the
chief executive smile graciousfy
on rich corporations, pat them on
the back and say, well done,
good and faithful?"
President Roosevelt has said
time and again, said it plainly
and emphatically, that he wages
no war on honest corporations, be
they rich or poor. He believes it
right to organize industrial cor
porations for the sake of great
economy and efficiency, as well
as in labor organizations for the
mutual protection and benefit Of
laboring men. His warfare is a.
gainst wicked corporations that
defraud the public in order to
swell their own huge fortunes.
An honest company Of business
partners, large or small, has
nothing to fear from our presl-
dent. He strikes, when he does
strike, at the corporation def
antly and flagrantly transgress-
ing the laW-at none other.
AS an instance, take the STAN
dard Oil. Company. That cor
poration is probably the wealth.
est in our country, and although
the chief owner of the concern is
a man of brain and piety, it has
been proved in court that it has
for years fouted the law as to re-
batting, thereby gathering mil
lions of dollars uniustly, and
crushing all competition in the
same line of business. Ought
our president, who is under a
solemn oath to enforce the laws
made by Congress and duly ap-
proved by the chief magistrate,
ought he to let this great corpor-
alton go on unhindered plunder-
ing the people? Every right
minded man will see the need OF
doing something to stop this
wicked greed. What right has
the Standard Oil Company to
fiout the law any more than the
poorest Of mortals?
A poor man enters his neigh
boris house and pliers a few
dollars worth of something, and
if caught, is tried and punished
Why? Because he violated the
law by stealing; that is, by tax
ing what of right did not belong
to him, but to his neighbor. We
have officers and courts and pen
itentiaries for just such offend
ers. If we punish the petty thie1
shall we let the grand thief q
unpunished, and continue in hi'
wicked ways? Well, putting i
that way, every sensible, tru'
man will say, Let no guilty ont

Twine Talk.

You may think you are getting
great bargain when you send
for tWine at from one to two
cents cheaper than you can buy
Plymouth or Mccormick twine;
but if you will bring me a ball
of the twine that you have sent
for Cat a less price than | am
selling Plymouth OF Mccormick
twlne) | will prove to you that
it will cost you more money to
bind your grain with the cheap
twine. | will weigh the ball of
twine that you bring and also
weigh a ball of Plymouth or
Mccormick and then we will un-
ravel and measure the length in
feet and also examine the
twine and | will convince you in
many ways that the twine | sell
is money saving proposition to
you. First, the Plymouth or
Mccormick twine is more evenly
spun. Second, you will find it is
better quality. Third, it will
run further to the pound than
will the cheap twine you bring
for comparison. Then, again,
every farmer knows the value of
time in harvest. If you are
bothered with twine that tangles
in the twine box, you know you
will cut it out and throw away
large punches. The twine you
throw away and the time you
lose would probably pay your
whole twine bill.
Bear in mind, that every ball
of twine that you bring in for
comparison and unravel, l will
replace with a ball of Plymouth
or Mccormick twine. Don't be
arbitrary. Come in and make
the comparison. What is the
use of losing both ways when
you can buy twine from me and
gain, and | can sell to you and
gain.
Yours for business,

claimed had strayed into
Reimann' pasture. Numerous
witnesses We're examined. The
jury, after due deliberation,
decided that the defendant was
entitled to the possession of the
calves and rendered a verdict
accordingly.
The failure of the Crawford
Gamble reformers to make good
their promises of reform has set
the Aberdeen American, the
self-constituted and specially
self-appointed guardian of this
little clique of pseudo reformers,
to explaining. In casting about
for some scape-goat to carry the
blame for the failure of the ad-
ministration to pass the two
cent rate bill, the American
conceived the brilliant idea of
laying it on the Stalwarts. The
editor of the American is either
a knave or fool or possibly
both, or else he thinks his
readers are, for he surely knows
that the insurgents were in
complete control of the last
legislature and the Stalwarts did
not cut any more figure than a
cake of ice in hades. But why
doesn't the American go farther
and tell the people that the
Stalwarts of South Dakota are
responsible for tn threatened
Japanese American war or the
trouble between the mi lers and
mine owners at Boise, Idaho, Or
the famine in India? There
would be just as much sense in
that and they would be just
about as much to blame. The
alleged reformers were in con-
troll and if they did not bring
about tho. reforms they promised
it is because they did not want
to, and never intended to, if they
had, it would have been their
own undoin9, for if a genuine
wave of reform were to sweep
over this land of the free, it
would wash these reform frauds
off the slate. In order to be-
come decent it would be neces-
, sary to abolish this reform
syndicate. This the people will
do this year and the American
seeing the writing writ upon the
walls, is sore distressed thereat.
