respecting unfortunates aims giving Is

An English poet has recently made
a timely appeal for 'black-coated pow
erty''-
For those who make no sign but
Who slowly starve and yet make no

Such suffering can only be relieved
by subller means and must come dis

To the most influential and wealthy
classes of today, perhaps this type Of
"blaek-coated POI erty' is COMPARE
lively unknown. and in their yearn-
ing desire to share their bounty and
help the less fortunate, they often
make gifts TO the conspicuous profss-
aonal beggars, and by such misguided
generosity, is Incidence frequently en-
cOuraged.
Through sympathy alone can one

true charity is but the outcome OF eX-

Charity has no greater Zoe than

Successful at Trial.

On Saturday, the first week in June,
1903, at in the evening, I began that
which I was so sure of successfully fin
ishing, for on the Wednesday previous
I had made the life in the presence Of
one witness in thirty-eight minutes
and forty-six seconds, taking only one
second more TO lift the entire 100000
pounds than I had consumed in lifting
the half million the time I had at
tempted and failed. My weight tip
ped the scales at exactly 200 pounds,
including the back pad and gymna-
SUM suit. Twelve hundred pounds in
weighing weights were then placed on
the beam. showing that each lift of
the beam meant 1000 pounds dead
weight had been raised Before going
under the scales I had made the state
ments to the physicians, food experts,
athletes and trainers present lover

is clearly to put before the pub
lie the truth relative to my failure
to perform this marvellous lift"
and also my success.
To begin with, the million-pound
lift was proposed by BernarT Mac
fadden mostly as jest. In Mr..
Macfadden'S office one day in the
early fall of 1902, | told him that
| had the day before lifted 1000
pounds 1o3 times in one minute
flat. This showed that was in
excellent condition. He regarded
the feat with more or less doubt,
and thinking there might be pos
sibility of my being mistaken, |
went to the gymnasium on the fol-
lowing day and in the presence of
Mr.. Macfadden and fifteen wit
nesses, men, who happened to be
working in the gym at that time,

of the day previous tWenty-scven

to me, 'Low, I'll tell you what you
do; lift 1000 pounds 1000 times,
and do it as quickly as you can
that will make a million-pound lift.
If you succeed in accomplishing
this apparently impossible feat, |
will publish it in my magazine for
scientific reasons"

Looks Good For Philip

The following dispatch from Pierre
to the Sioux City Journal would
indicate that Dick Bielski and Frank
Sherwin have struck a pretty good
town in which to start their bank:
"Aparty consisting Of Marvin Hugh
lit, Jr., and w. d. Cantillion, Chicago
officials Of the Northwestern road, ac-
companied by General Agent A. C..
Johnson, of Winona, and Division Su-
perintendent o. II. McCarty, of Huron,
are west of the river looking over the
situation on the west end of the line.
1t has generally been conceded that
Midland would be made the principal
point between the river and the Black
Hills, but there is growing rumor
Philip is to be given the railroad
boast on account OF better townsite
location, and the further fact that a
good supply OF water can be secured
in surface wells. But the real town
which is to get the "boost" is yet to
be developed by railroad action, and
the trip may be factor in settling the
question"

Gone to Open Money Shop

X. f. Bielski went out to Philip
Thursday evening, and Monday
morning opened up his bank for busi-
ness. The bank is incorporated as
the First State Bank OF Phillip, the
incorporators being Mr.. Bielski and
Frank Sherwin, Sr., and Frank Sber.
win, Jr., of this city. There is another
bank already established at Philip,
but the town is booming with a good
chance of being one of the important
towns on the new line, and there will
be enough business for both. A
young lawyer, who has just opened
up an office there, will assist in the
bank until Mr.. Sherw;n goes out
about the first OF June. Dick will
return for his family about the first Of
May.

Raise Good Sheep

Prof. II. g. Skinner returned last
evening from Chicago, where he went
Saturday night with carload of ex-
pertinent sheep from the college farm.
They were an exceptionally nice bunch,
and he topped the market with them.
The Chicago Daily Drover's Journal
has the following comment on the lot:
Prof. II. &. Skinner, assistant in
animal husbandry at the South Da-
kota Experiment Station at Brookings,
was here today with sheep and lambs
with which experiments were made to
determine the best feeds for such. In
cluded in the shipment were some
prime lambs. Forty-nine head of 92
lbs. average made $3.50 to Hammond
Packing company, the best price OF the
day, and 26 averaged III pounds and
sold to Nelson, Morris & Co. for s.. .25.
The above prices were pleasing to Prof.
Skinner. The lambs had been on a
feed OF corn, oats and oilmeal since
late in January, and that they made
great progress was attested by their
excellent condition"

Carl Reich Az, s Jhosen Orator

The annual oratorical contest for the
purpose OF selecting an orator to rep
resent the college at the annual state
Oratorical contest, to be held at Nit
chell the latter part OF May, was held
at the college chapel Saturday evening
before a good sized audience. There
were five contestants as follows: Edith
Hubbart, Miss Amy Maryland, Carl
Reich, Cecil Salmon, Miss Florence
West. Carl Reich, who has 80 ably
represented the college the past two
years, was awarded first place, and
second honors went to Miss Amy
Maryland. Mr.. Reich's Grafton was
entitled, IA Patriot of Two Countries" "
and Miss Maryland took for her SUBJ
ject, Jean Valjean." Miss Hubbart' g
Grafton was entitled Dante" Mr..
Salmon's, "Grant as a General" and
Miss West spoke on "a Woman and
a Book"
The orations were all OF high order
of merit, and we believe that the col.
lege has more good material along
this line at the present time than for
some years. The program was inter
spersed with musical selections which
added enjoyment and variety.

Creamery Inspection

Hon. b. ID. White, Of Washington,
ID. c., representing the department OF
agriculture, was in the city Tuesday
in consultation with Food and Dairy
Commissioner A. II. Wheaton, relating
to the establis hment of uniformity in
the examination Of buttermakers and
creameries. The new system will be
adopted and in force after May /, and
will apply to all creameries in the
state. The full text OF the system will
appear in the Minnesota and Dakota
Farmer as soon as it is prepared. The
past practice OF inspecting creameries
which has mainly consisted in the
inspector shaking hands with the
buttermaker and manager, taking first
train out OF town and then reporting
the creamery as being good, medium
or bad does not set forth the real con-
dition. The object OF the new system
is to grade the buttermaker and the
creamery, and place those who deserve
it in the registered class and thus
offer an incentive for others to come
up to the standard. This ought to be
an inducement to better conditions
throughout the state

Youthful Train WreCkerS

The crew OF the passenger train
between here and Redheld were
bothered the past month by some one
placing planks, rocks and other OBJ
structions on the track south of Estel-
line, in this county, near the spot
where Henry Borstad was accidently
killed by the passenger some weeks
ago. 1t was at first supposed that it
was the work of some of Borstad's
friends, who hoped to get revenge for
his death by wrecking the train. The
matter was reported to the head office
at Chicago, and Detective Manning of
the company's secret service depart
ment was placed on the case. He
spent several days at work, but was
unable to locate the offenders, al
though the placing OF obstacles on the
track continued. Last week Tuesday
he went to that locality, accompanied
by Sheriff Miles. After going over
the situation closely they came to the
conclusion that it was the work of
some OF the pupils from the school
house nearby, and suspicion was
fastened upon the three sons OF a
German farmer named Lehman, liv-
ing in the neighborhood. The kids
were corralled, and at first denied the
charge point blank, but finally they
broke down and admitted their guilt
They were brought to this city Thurs
day and had a hearing before Justice
Matson, who bound them over tC
appear before the circuit court III
June on the charge Of attempted train
wrecking. After being given 4
thorough lecture by States Attorney
Eidem upon the gravity Of their crime
they were very penitent and were
profuse in their promises OF future
good behavior. 1t is very prObabl,
that if their conduct during the mex
few months is exemplary the case
against them will be dismissed at The
June term of court. otherwise they
will be sent to the reform school. Th,
youngsters are IL, l3 and II years o
age.
