FEAR OF LOSING CLAIM,
YOUNG WOMAN GOES INSANE

Yankton, s.. D., April 11.-Miss Lydia
Moore has been brought to the insane hos
pital here for treatment. She and her
mother and brothers came to South Da-
kota and filed on three quarter sections
OF land in Faux county. The mother and
brother committed their entries and re-
ceived their patents at the end of four
teen months.
The young woman, however, decided to
hold her claim for the full five years per-
lod required by the homestead laws. She.
was about to submit final proof when a.
contestant appeareu and filed on the claim.
The sudden shock and the ordeal of a
court trial was too much for the young
woman and she became violently insane.

WILL AFFECT ELECTION:

Aberdeen, S. D., April 1S.-The effort
opera house auditorium, to drive
Evangelist r. E. Johnson out of the
city, has fallen fiat. and Aberdeen is
stirred to the center.
G~ottschalk refused to rent the audi
forum, where the services have been
held for a month, to the committee hav-
ing charge Of the reVivals any longer II
Johnson was to be retained, Last night
a committee offered him $3.50 for one
week, twice the sum he had been get
ting. He told them they had not
money enough to make him Withdraw
the conditions; M must go, The
committee went back to the auditor
iun, where the meeting was being held,
and reported. Rev. j. w. Taylor, pas
tor of the First M. r, church. ex-
planned the situation to the audience
of 800 people, who Kissed G~ottschalk's
name. Mr.. Taylor then suggested h
a tabernacle might be built for the
revivals. and the audience Endorsed this
by cheering. He called for men who
would work on such a building, and
about 100 stood up. Then he asked for
those who would contribute 81 each,
and almost everybody in the audience,
men and women, stood up, many con-
tributing much more than a dollar.
Money Quickly Raised.
Fully 81, 500 was subscribed and most
of it paid within fifteen or twenty min
utes. Some of the committeeman
worked all night, and at an early hour
his morning had the lumber necessary
for the building loaded or wagons
ready to carry to the site chosen for
the tabernacle. When G~ottschalk
learned that the committee had taken:
this step, n seeing $3.50 easy money
slipping away from him, he sent word
to the committee that they could have
the auditorium for the price named
and that he would withdraw his con-
ditions. He was informed that he was
too late, the committee did not want
his auditorium at any price.
A hundred men or more are at work
on the new tabernacle today and will
be in readiness by tonight. Evangelist
Johnson will stay a week.. until after
election. The saloonkeepers are
alarmed, fearing that the vote next
Tuesday will put the city on the dry"
list. The saloonkeepers are blamed,
whether rightly or wrongly, of inducing
Gottschalk to refuse the auditorium,
and almost the whole city is up in
arms.

PECULIAR EYES.
The Organ. of sight of the Spider
and the Snail.

The Organs of Sight of the Spider
and the Snail.
The next time you catch a spider try
to find the eight shiny little eyes at the
anterior end, some above and some put
under the edge of what we may imag.
Inc to be its forehead. To examine
these parts to the best advantage hold
the spider In tweezers, or it may be
better to use spider killed by being
dropped into bottle of diluted alcohol.
These eight eyes vary in arrangement
and In relative size in various species
of spiders-in some they may be ar
ranged In two rows. in other in three;
some may be very small and others
large and prominent, and so on-but
there they are, rather poor eyes, near.
sighted, looking in several directions at
once, and the spider, which can never
shut any Of them, is sure to see every
thing that approaches unless 1t is
asleep, In which case the sight Is dead.
For some purposes it may be, .conyen-
lent to have eyessthnt roll up and dis
appear at the approach of danger. And
these are exactly what the snail has,
situated at the end of two l.lg and
sensitive ,palpi, or feelers. When all l.
quiet their owner extends these organs
and you can see at their tips small
round knobs upon which the eyes an.
placed. But if you touch one of til.
palpi or even jar the snail little the
eyes begin to back into these feelers
as the tip of glove finger may he
turned in, and they no longer see any
danger that may be lurking at hand.

q fire there which would burn down
half your city. 1t is important that
you should educate your children in

question Of dollars and cents for the
p rejection of property and life, can
there possibly be any better way of
preventing railroad wrecks, in
cendiary fires and the explosion Of
dynamite bombs than by carr ying,
SO far as possible, into all the schools

will make all our youth and children

ing is it to give our American HUI

gospel Of mercy? You may talk to
thousands of hoodlums and others
growing up in our dangerous classes
about loving their fathers, their
mothers, or God. with little effect,
but you can teach all of them to be
saying forty times day kind words
and doing kind acts which will not
only be making their own lives and
all those about them happier, but
will have tremendous influence to
prevent railroad wrecks, incendiary

and make life and property, as we'll
as our republican institutions, more
safe than they now are.

The Horse.

A paper read at the Farmers In
stitute by George L. Lane of Mason
vile.
"The Horse, His place in the
Profits of a successful farmer. How
shall we increase his Value?"
l consider the horse has first
place in the profits of successful
farmer. He has first place on our
farm and can honestly say we have
made more money and made it
easier with the Percheron horses
than we have made at any other
business. We have ten year old
registered mare that we have sold
about $4,000 worth of colts from
and have our $1,000 worth still on
hand. We can do our work with the
mares and at the same time raise
their colts better than as though they
were running in the pasture. AT
least that has been my experience.
There is no other class of animals
we can make pay their way as well
as the horse and at the same time
be making us 80 much money.
When we come to consider the value
it is easy enough to put him first,
There are four distinct classes OF
horses. Heavy draft horse, coach
horse or high actor, gentlemans
driving horse and the saddle horse
Now we mnst stay by one of the
classes, or at least keep them
separate, if we would makea success
of the horse business. / firmly be
lieve the draft horse is the horse fol
the farmer to raise, for he can gel
them ready for the top market if he
will. The lighter class OF horses
have to be trained and handled
more before they will bring the tol
price, and we farmers haven't TIM
Ito do that Another great disad
