WILL RETIRE FROM SCENE
Mrs. Kaufman To Seek SeclusIon
Somewhere,

Sioux Falls, S. d., June 22.-NIrs. En-
ma Kaufman, wife of the millionaire
Sioux Falls, S. ID. brewer, who Thurs
day night was found guilty of man
slaughter in the first degree in the kill
ing of her sixteen yearold servant girl,
Agnes Polreis, did not return to her
home in this city from Flandreau, and it
is possible that she may not return for
some weeks or even months. 1t is UNI
derstood she will remain in Flaudreau
for about a week.
Information concerning her is with
held but it would not be surprising if
she, instead of returning to Sioux Falls
Immediately, OF In the near future,
would 90 from Flandreau to some sum-
mer resort and remain there until fall,
as was the case last year after she had
been admitted to bail by the state SUI
preme court.
At that time she passed the summer
at a Wisconsin resort, returning in the
fall only little time before the Gin
vening of the fall term of court, at
which she made APPLICATION for and was
granted continuance until the April term
of court, when she secured change of
venue to the circuit court of Moody
county.
If it is decided that Mrs. Kaufman
shall spend the summer at a resort it
is probable that she will return to South
Dakota only in time for her appearance
on October 81, at Flandreau, at which
time Judge Smith will pronounce SEN
tence in the event that the motion to
be made by her attorneys for new trial
is denied by Judge Smith.
The penalty under the South Dakota
statutes for manslaughter in the first
degree is imprisonment for a period of
anywhere from four years to life in the
state penitentiary.
1t is generally expected that if the
motion for new trial of the case is de-
MED Mrs. Kaufman will receive a SEN
tence of anywhere from fifteen to TWEEN
ty years Imprisonment.

MOTHER AND BABE DROWN
Sad Case Of Drowning at FuIda Last
Week.

From Mondays Dally.
A pitiful case of drowning occurred
three miles north of Fulda last Fri
day afternoon, when Mrs. John Stumm
and babe were drowned in the waters
of Lime creek.
Mr. and Mrs. Stumm and babe left
home about three o'clock to visit at
the home of her father and tried to
cross the creek at the ford as they
had been in the habit of doing for
years The excessive rains had swol
len the stream and i'm trying to drive
into the ford one of the horses STUN
bled down the steep embankment drag
ging the other horse. on top of it.
The buggy was tipped over, but Mr.
and Mrs. Stumm managed to stand
on the wheels. The water came up
to their shoulders, and as neither one
of them could swim they remained
there until the strong current washed
Mrs. Stumm and the baby into a
watery grave. Stumm's cries for help
were finally heard and he was safely
taken to shore by fisherman. The
body of Mrs. Stumm was found 80
feet from where the accident occurred
and the body of the baby 100 feet
farther down the stream. The stream
was only two and a half rods wide
and the buggy only rod from the.
Shore 1t seems extremely sad that
those two lives were taken when a
little assistance could have saved
.them.-Lake Wilson Pilot.

If it is true, as Secretary Wilson says,
that the high prices OF meat are due
to the growing American habit of eating
animal food three times day, we shall
have to stop it. The worst of it is that
everything else one turns to is also dear
and would be more so if the popular APP
petite should turn to it. With the new
vegetables coming in, however, there
will vet be chance to punish the beef
magnates by eating more potatoes and
onions.-Dispatch

story of the young man who rolled over

neck shaved states that this is good
one on a country boy, but that he has
one on city lady that is just as. good.
Among the visitors at his farm recently
was Mankato lady, and she took quite
an interest in looking at the stock.
She was present when the pigs were fed
and saw them dip their noses down into
the troughs and imbibe the mushy food
placed there. When they pulled their
SHOUTS out and distended their nostrils
for air, she innocently remarked that
she never knew before that pigs drew
their food in through those two holes

SPORT WAS
VERY ROUGH
Wrestler From Jacksonville
Thrown from Platform
by His Opponent

In a wrestling match in Columbia,
S. c., last Wednesday night, Prof.
Charles LeOnhardt, of Jacksonville,
was thrown from the stage by his op-
pOnent, Burt Hudson, and sustained a
broken rib, which necessitated the
match being called off.
The following is the account that
was sent out about the match from
Columbia:
LeOnhardt and Hudson drew 500 per-
sons TO Craven Hall, where Leonhardt
has established a physical culture
school, but after wrestling for about
twenty minutes the match had TO De
called off because of an accident TO
Leonhardt, whose rib was broken IN a
fall from the platform TO the floor
The mat had been arranged on a
raised platform in the center of the
nail, and the platform was inclosed
with a rope, but the platform was not
large enough and the wrestlers fell
off twice. The first fall knocked the
breath out of L.eonhardt, but he
gamely stuck TO his work after few
minutes rest and in a few minutes
more the two fell of again. In the fall
the old mans rio was broken and the
physician insisted that he should not
return TO the mat.
Hudson addressed the crowd and
said that he was sorry to see anyone
hurt, but he had tried honestly TO win
the match and did not think the fall
on the platform was his fault. He said
he would not take the decision under
the circumstances. Hudson was the
most aggressive and active all the way
through and kept Leonhardt on the de-
fensive from the start.
Leonhardt, who is the older and
heavier man, put up game fight. but
was evidently being worsted all the
time, though Hudson did not win
fall.

GOODS ARE
BADLY PACKED
Steamship Companies Assert
Delayed Shipments Are
Often so Caused

Traffic managers of the steamship lines
with regular services to Central and South
American ports and the West Indies have
decided to make an united effort to i'm
press the exporters of American good swith
the fact that their methods OF backing is
not up to modern English and German
standards and that if they expect to make
Roadway in this trade they NAV compete
an an equal basis. Circulars to this ef-
feet are being widely distributed among
merchants and exporters in New York.
An example of the bad packing Of
American goods is shown in a recent con-
suIar report from Foo Chow, China, TO
which 222 separate pieces of stained ca
thedral glass were shipped for use in a
memorial church there. When the ship
ment arrived il was found that out Of the
entire lot only sixteen pieces were free
from damage.
AS the church in which they were TO be
used nearing completion, and not
enough Of unchanged glass could be
found for any one window. a fresh order
had to be sent TO the United States, and
a delay of five six months must neces-
sariIy ensue before the building can be
dedicated and used.

A GEORGIA SOCIETY.
Pensacola, Aug. 81.

Pensacola, Aug. 81.
| Editor, Pensacola Journal:
| The issue of last Sunday contained
my request for all Georgians in this
city to send their names to me in care
of the journal. A postal card, note or
| letter. sealed or not, will do equally
as we'll.
Last Sundays issue brought some
responses, but not enough. We want
material for president and secretary
and perhaps other positions, commit
tees, etc, and enough for a good
starting list for publication in Sum
day issue of the Journal
Among the responses received was
good one, manifesting national pa
triotism and stating that there now
rests in an unkept grave in st. Mich
aeTs cemetery the remains of a lady
who entertained at Der home the first
president of America, and whose hus-
band was signer of the Declaration
of independence.
Now, if this can be substantially
authenticated. it would seem but nat
ura1 that Pensacola would give this
grave the attention, respect and honor
it deserves. If the state put a mon
ument, even at this late day, on that
hallowed spot, it would not transcend
the wishes of FIoridians
Now we hope to materialize into a
large membership, and if none others
will give this grave attention, the
Georgia Society" will.
We want all Georgians, rich and
poor, to send their names and adj
dresses as requested, and for all to
hlTnt ont others who NAV fail 10 soc
this. and thereby cause the member
ship to grow as it should Don't be
afraid of the cost, for that will be
nominal, or nothing. We have no 20

The Proposed
Garden Street Franchise

The public is taking more and more
OF an interest in the proposed Garden
street franchise which the Council now
has under consideration, and The Jour
nal has discussed various features o.
the matter from time TO time.
Nearly all of The Journals conten-
tons have been in opposition to GER
tain of the demands which the stree:
car company is making. but there is
one feature of the franchise desired by
the company which The Journal thinks
should be included
We refer 10 the provision permitting
the company TO carry freight between
Goulding and Pensacola. When the
franchise is finally re-adjusted so that
the pubIic's interests will be fully pro-
tected it should contain this permit.
There is no reason why the l.. & y.
should have a monopoly of all the
freight business between GOulding and
Pensacola. II the electric line is TO
be extended to Goulding it should have
the same privilege OF carrying freight
10 the water front that the L. & y.
now has.
Gouhing is getting to be very i'm
pOrtant manufacturing and shipping
point, and competing lines from that
point 10 Pensacola's waterfront would
be of incalculable benefit to the In
dustries located there 1t would put
all OF them in touch with PerdidC
wharf or with any of the other
wharves not now controlled by the l..
& ". and that fact alone would be
worth much 10 Pensacola as well as
to all OF the industries directly inter
ested.
BY all means. give the Pensacola
Electric Company the right to haul
freight over the proposed new line,
but stipulate that it shall be an cleo
trio line and name the hours during
which freight may be carried.
