are guarded quite as closely as any

New York.-The embarrassment of
riches is, of course, proverbial. To-
day the burden of wealth Is probably
greater for the possessors of great for
tunes than ever before A multi-mil-
lionaire is a marked man. He is de-
MED privacy even in the most intimate
family relations, and he is constantly
beset by armies of beggars and must
be guarded like any king. At his
death hordes of claimants fight over
his property, his memory is bitterly
attacked and his character perhaps
blasted by INSCRIPTIONS heirs through
long years of litigation.
A short time ago Mr.. James Henry
Smith, universally known as silent
Smith" man of great wealth and the
dispenser of wide private benefactions
suddenly died. He had lived a life of
singular seclusion. A man of very SIM
pie tastes land habits, he had always

Any ordinary man of his character
might have enjoyed secluded life,
but for Mr. Smith it was constant eff

way. On his death it was announced
that he had left a fortune of more
than $50,000,000. The embarrassment
of riches has literally followed him
into his grave. Instantly a crowd Of
relatives and claimants, many of whom
he had never known, appeared on the
scene.
His widow is obliged to retain the
best counsel and instantly prepare for
long and presumably bitter conflict
in order that his dying wishes as ex-
pressed in his will may be carried out.
In this undignified scramble for his
millions every detail of his life will be
gone into, and this by expert lawyers
and in no friendly spirit. Mr.. Smiths
private benefactions were many and
varied and his character will stand the
test, but it is a situation which would

The Messianlc Line This
beautiful story Of Ruth traces
for us the genealogy of David,
who established the klnely line
from which sprang the Christ,
the promised Messiah of the
Jews. Note the large part which
faith plays here. Faith which
stirred in the heart Of Naomi in
the far country of Moab and
drew her back to her God and
her people. Faith bringing to
Ruth's heart vision of a better
life, and giving her the courage
to forsake all that she might
find a place with God and Gods
people. Faith making them both
faithful and patient during those
early days of bitter trial and
, poverty after their return to
Bethlehem. Faith leading each
step Of the way through the
darkness of their loneliness and
grief. Faith reaching out so
hopefully, SO delicately, and yet
so boldly and laying hold of the
right to the claim of kinship.
Faith inspiring to modest and
gracious acceptance Of the eX-
allied position to which the alli-
ance with Boaz lifted them.
Faith finding its ultimate and
joyful triumph in son and
heir whose coming was to add
its link to the Messianc Tine
around which the thought of
) every devout Hebrew parent
{ conferred. This book of Ruth is
fitting parallel to the eleventh
of Hebrews. And one cannot
: read either without being stirred
5 with yearning for more of that
2 faith which made such trlumphs
5 in the Lord possible.
2 And let us contemplate how
5. this pathway of faith led step
2 by step In so wonderful and
5 beautiful way up to the com.
z ing of the Christ, who came not
2 only as the perfect exemplifica.
< ton of the purity and holiness
2 of God, but as the perfect ex-
3 ponent and expression Of that
2 faith which was to win the ulti-
3 mate and glorious triumph over
2 sin and death and the grave.
3 All that this world has ever had
z from God has come along the
3 pathway of faith, yea in the
z very beginning it was the faith
3 of the son of God, the second
Z person of the Trinity, which
2 brought the universe into being
\ and created the earth and all
2 that Is therein. This pathway
3 Of faith can be traced through
3 the Bible from Genesis to Reve-
2 Iation. 1t has been the slender
3 thread on which has hung the
z fate of the human race, and 1t
3 is still the only medium of &C

3 which, If absent from the human
Z life, makes all other virtues and

nAppY CHAMBERLAIN
Proposition to Locate a 500, 900
Cerpent Plant in that
City.

Chamberlain, March 29.-The United
States Concrete Railway Crosstie com
pany, Of st. Louis Mo-, has notified
Mayor James w. Sanford. of Chamber
lain. that the company has decided to
locate ceRent plant in this city pro
vided conditions heretofore proposed
are complied with. The company a
numoer Of weeks ago sent representa-
tive to Chamberlain and other points to
secure samples of materials used in the
manufacture of cement, and the report
is now made that the samples and sup
plies at this place came nearer meeting
with the requirements of the company
than those of other points, and the an
nouncement is made specifically that
dirt will begin to be moved for the in
itiation Of the plant here within thirty
da VS. providing suitable guarantee
that a bonus of SEQ, 900 be provided.
At meeting of the business men of
the town a committee has been appoint
ed to solicit subscri ptions, and the
wolk of the committee bas been SO sue
cessful so far that there is no question
that the required amount will be secur-
ed within few days In return the
company agrees to institute plant for
tte manufacture of cement ana cement
products sufficient to manufacture 1000
barrels of cement per day, to employ
not less than $50 men, who shall receive
substantially $500 per day, and that the
plant when completed and ready for
operation shall cost not less than
$500, 600.
The bonus is to be paid in four pay
ments, the last within thirty days after
the plant is producing 1000 barrels of
cement daily. The company will also
manufacture cement blocks, cement
bricks and many other articles of Gem
ent manufacture in building and other
operations. The Company is composed
of a number of well known railroad
and financial men of the central west,
and is abundantly capable of carrying
ont its plans as at present perfected.
Naturally the securing of this import
tant plant has caused much excitement
here. as it means that the town will
more than double in population during
the coming season. Interests already
secured positively insure building oper-
ations of nearly 1000, 600 here during
the next nine months, and there is
every reason to believe that not less
than one more new line of railroad will
be extended to this place within that
time.

UNDER CONTROL.
Workmen Succeed in Getting
Control Of Fire in Home
stake Mine.

Lead. March 29-The fire in the
Homestake Is under control.
The south workings have been shut
by a barricade, and about half the men
are getting out ore, having gone down
the Allison. The north workings are
still on file. and all work but fighting
tho flames is suspended there.
Three relays of men are working
fifteen minute shifts. laying off thirty
minutes between shifts. They have
not yet approached within 100 feet of
the FIRE, owing to carbon oxide gas
from the smouldering wood Streams
of water are pouring down the cut and
it is thought have partially subdued the
flames, as the gas is not SO bad as yes
terday.
The men below ground are building
a partition through the center of the
drift. Air will be forced down one
side of this partition, forcing the gas
and smoke out the other side. RELAYS
of men will follow the compressed air,
and 1t Ia hoped in this way to reach the
flames.
While men are still being overcome
by the gas. there are no fatalities, and
it is not thought that the FIRE is spread
ing. The mines are all running.

EMERGENCY CLAUSE
Doubt of Its Effectiveness in
certain South Dakota
Laws.

Pierre. March 29.-One of the ques-
tions which is agitating the minds of
these who ere inclined to stickle as to
the meaning of legal phrases in what is
the real tate of an emergency" bill
which the governor allows to become a
law without his approval, when it is
stated on the face of the law itself that
it ''shall go into effect upon its passage
and approval The last legislative
session passed more emergency laws
tnan has any session of past years, and
provision of the constitution which
was intended at the time it was adopt
ed to be used to meet grave conditions
has been led by usuage to apply to laws
trivial in their nature, SO far as the
veal of the state is concerned, although
they may be of importance to some par
ticular individual
One of the latter class wac a law
which provided three years as the limit
of beginning of Il quasi criminal suit,
the time to date from the time of the
offense; and it was further enacted
that this act shall apply to all such
offenses and crimes which have hereto
fore taken place, and to all pending
proceedings in any of the courts of this
state
This went into effect at the time of
it's approval on March A. The first ap
plication of the provisions of this new
law comes from S. Fl. Wright, of Cen
terville. against whom there is pending
in the supreme court disbarment pro-
cedure. Wright, as practicing at
torney at Cham berlain, was charged
with embezzlement Of sums of money
collected for clients, and on one of the
charges he was tried and convicted and
given sentence of one year in the pen
|itentiaIy. He served the sentence after
the supreme court had sustained the
decision of the lower court. At about
the same time disbarment proceedings
were brought against Wright and are
now pending in the supreme court
Under the new law, which was pushed
through by Representative Price Of
Yankton, Wright asks that the proceed
ings for disbarment now pending in the
supreme coutt be dismissed, as the
offense on which the proceedings are
based was committed mole than three
years ago.
The same col t.. t n could be applied
to the dissarment proceedings which
have been brought against s, A. Ram
sey, Of Woonsocket, in case the new
law is sustained by the supreme court.
