Warren-B Bennett Nuptials.

A pretty home wedding was solem-
nized at the residence OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Willard Bennett in this city on
Saturday morning, November End, at
eight o'clock, which contaminated
the union Of Miss Ethol Maude BEN
nett and William I'll. Warren OF De-
Smet. Only the immediate relatives
of the contracting parties were present
to witness the ceremony which was
performed by Rev. G.. S. Evans Of the
Congregational church.
After a wedding breakfast the
groom and his charming bride we're
taken to Sioux Falls in an auto and
there took the train for Minneapolis
bound eastward on a wedding trip.
They will be at home in DeSmet after
December first.
The bride is a daughter OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Willard Bennett of this city, and
was born and raised in this county.
She was among the prominent school
teachers Of this county, and taught
term at DeSmet where cupid inter-
posed, resulting In the beautiful
home wedding last Saturday. The
groom is a prominent young lawyer
at DeSmet, and the LEADER extends
congratulations and trusts he will be
as successful in law as he has been In
love.

Halloween Franks.

1t seems singular how differently
some people regard license for sportive
privileges. Halloween is a night de-
voted 20 indoor sports and amusement
in the country where the festal cele-
brat ion originated. In the large
cities OF the east d spirit of harmless
amusement prevails and in most cities
the evil purpose of destruction has al
most disappeared.
In the smaller towns of the west
the younger element have assumed
that Halloween is a night specially
set apart for the destruction Of pro-
perty, and with this idea uppermost
in the minds of some they sally fourth
to vent their spite and display their
depraved natures.
There is no license for the deStruc-
tion of property or the removal or
hiding of anything belonging to any
one. The spirit of pure cussedness is
the only license that the vicious can
find and they carry it to extremes if
not prevented by law officers.
There was not much property des-
troyed in Canton last week because
the police were active. The greatest
damage was in the oyerturning and
destruction of out houses, but those
guilty of the offenSe were rounded up
the next day and compelled to replace
and restore what they had overturned
or removed. The window painters or
decorators are another class apart
from the backyard providers. They
go around leaving evidence of a dis
eased mind and a filthy nature behind
them, zoe cowardiy and s%neaking to
show their hands in daylight. They
belong to a class of unfortunates
whose mental condition is a reproach.
Hundreds of young people were
abroad on Halloween night for fun
and innocent pleasure and they en-
joyed themselves we'll.

Funeral of III. A. Bradiield.

The funeral service over the re-
mains of H.. A. Brad6eld, took place
in the Congregational Church Mon.
day afternoon at 2 O'Clock. The body
arrived from Sioux Falls at 11:45 and
was received by a large delegation OF
Canton Odd Fellows who escorted the
casket to the home of his parents on
South Broadway, where the body re.
manned until taken to the church by
another delegation of brother Odd Eel
lows, the deceased being a member OF
the Trent lodge. 81
Rev. q. S. Evans conducted the ser
vices and preached an eloquent ser
mon which was listened to by a large
audience composed of relatives and
friends of the family from Canton and
surrounding country. The casket
was covered with floral emblems of
sympathy and love and the music
was furnished by the church choir.
The service at the grave in Forest
Hill was conducted by the Odd Eel
lows and was impressive.
The deceased was a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Andrew Bradfield of this city
and had been clerking in a drug store
at Trent, where he was highly es-
teemed as a citizen and an Odd Eel
low. 1t was during the Halloween
frolic in that town that Mr.. Bradfield
was shot and it is claimed by the
friends of the deceased that the fatal
shot was fred by a man named Henry
Hendrickson. The shooting brings
sorrow and grief into the homes of
two pioneer families in this county,
his wife being a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred wood who live near Wor-
thing, as we'll as shame and deep hui
initiation to the family Of the man
charged with the crime.
The LEADER extends sincere SYM
pathy to the chief mourners in this
sad event.

Wilson-Troe Wedding.

Mr.. Trosten Oliver Troe and Miss
Dora Oline Wilson were married In
this city at the home Of the brides
parents Saturday November 2, 1907,

nate enough to win such a charming

Letter From Rev. Ralph dunlap.

Captain and Mrs. Dunlap received
an interesting letter from their son,
Ralph, Methodist missionary at
Nome, Alaska, under date of Oct. 8.
He tells Of his successful work among
the people up there and how he has
built a Methodist church costing
$1,000 on which $4,000 has been paid.
He describes the interior of the new
house of worship which is seated with
handsome pews on an inclined floor,
and the people of Nome are proud of
him as a church builder and as a min
lister of the gospel.
He drew the plans himself and help
ed on the carpenter work and is es-
pecially proud of this fact because it
is the first house of worship in that
far northland. Forty electric lights
illuminate the interior with it's 20
foot arched ceiling. He did most of
the wiring himself and collected
money and preached and inspired all
with a spirit of Christian progress.
He expects to build a parsonage
next year and looks for some aid from
the church extension fund. He cer-
tainly deserves assistance and has
demonstrated his ability to overcome
all obstacles in his glorious gospel
mission.
The opening service took place on
~HE.=. ..
Sunday, October 9th, with a grand
program. Mrs. Dunlap is superin-
tendent of the Junior League and
President of the w. Fl. M. S.

SAD AND SUDDEN DEATH.
Mrs. Shufelt Expires at Three
O'Clock Thursday Morning
Alter Being Unconscious
tor Several Hours.

1T was with great surprise and deep
sorrow that the citizens of Canton
learned Thursday morning that Mrs.
Edward Shufelt had passed away. 1t
was so sudden, so unexpected that
surprise and sorrow mingled In the
contemplation Of the uncertainty OF
life.
Mrs. Shufelt with her daughter,
Mrs. Lee, were at the home Of Mr..
and Mrs Albert Oehmen Wednesday
for the purpose of enjoying a 5 O'Clock
tea in company with other guests. A
few minutes before 5 Mrs. Shufelt
complained of a severe pain in the
head and was taken out doors, but
the pain continued. She was taken
home by her daughter where 1t was
hoped rest would bring relief, but in
stead of relief her condition grew
worse and then came Inconsistencies
and rest, the rest that the Lord pro-
vides for his own.
When Mrs. Shufelt's condition be-
came serious early In the evening,
Mrs. Lee telephoned for her father
who arrived here on the l O'Clock
freight from Sioux Falls, but too late
for his wife to recognize him, apo.
plexy having rendered the sufferer un.
conscious, in which condition she re.
NAMED until the end came at 8
O'Clock Thursday morning,
Mr.. Shufelt and his daughter are
heart broken over their great loss and
the ~suddenness of the blow brings
extreme sorrow, and while>the conso-
lation of friends at such a time
brings no peace to the aching hearts,
Mr.. Shufelt and his daughter know
that they have the deepest sympathy
of this community in the hour OF
their great anguish.
The deceased has been a resident OF
Canton for many years, and prominent
in the social life of the city, known
to all and loved by all for her kindly
and generous disposition, ever ready
to assist those in need OF sympathy or
help. She will be greatly missed by a
host of friends and mourned by all.
The LEADER extends sympathy to
the bereaved husband and daughter.
No arrangements have been made
for the funeral yet.

plant A Grove Next Year.

WallaceS' Farmer:-We hope u
readers will not think we are s'daffy''
for insisting so strenuously and con-
tinuously on each farmer putting out
an acre of some kind of forest trees
next year. Farmers are loath to
spend money on an enterprise from
which they cannot expect any return
for eight or ten years, and must in
addition to the first investment give
it more or less care and attention.
We were convinced more than
twenty years ago that the time
would come when farmers would need
fence posts and convenient timber
for fuel and other purposes as well as
protection from the winter blasts.
Our conviction has grown stronger
from year to year. There is every in
dication-in fact, it is quite certain
that at the present rate at which we
are using lumber, to say nothing
about its increase, In the next thirty
years the United States will become
practically a treeless country unless
farmers plant trees,
The railroads as usual are wide
awake and are planting trees very
largely for afuture supply of ties and
fence posts. The paintings made by
some of the Kansas railroads about
the time we made our paintings have
proved a very profitable investment,
the catalpa groves yielding from two
to five dollars an acre rent, net, in
Guiding five per cent interest on the
investment at the beginning and
from year to year, which is quite as
much as the average farmer secures
from his Investment in land.
Cultivated in other crops, the land,
unless well managed, is losing feruil-
ity. In timber it Is constantly gain
ing. The question of fence posts will
be always with us, and we are very
sure that the farmer who will follow
our suggestions in this matter will be
making as profitable an investment as
he has ever made on the same amount
of expenditure.
We speak about this now because
there is yet time to locate your post
grove. Plow the land this fall as deep
as you can piow it, and If a subsoiler
is available it would be we'll to sub
soil it. This deep blowing, however,
should be done in the fall and not in
the spring. We shall take up this
question from time to time during
the winter, because we believe we are
serving the best interests of our read
ers, upon whom we must depend for
our prosperity.
The kind of trees to plant can be
considered in the winter; but mean
while let us suggest to the boys that
no catalpa seed should go to waste.
1t is ready to pick now, and the soon
er 1T is picked and put away very care
fully for the winter the better. A
little catalpa seed will go a long ways.
elect only from trees fifteen or TWEEN
ty years old, erect In form, and thrift
ty. These are quite certainly the
catalpa speciosa, which is the only
variety of catalpa you should plant.

State superintendent Ustrud's
Birthday.

We clip the following item from
the Pierre Daily Dakotan, which will
be appreciated by Mr.. Ustrud's
friends all over the state:
"Hon. H. A. Ustrud, State Super
intendent of Public Instruction, was
thirty-six years old yesterday, and
some of his friends remembered the
day from former years. When he
came into his Office after luncheon his
office force gathered around him and
congratulated him, wished him many
returns Of the day, whereupon his
dc putty, Prof. Swanson, in a short
neat speech presented him a very
handsome travelling toilet case as a
token of the friendship and high es-
teen in which he is held by those
working under him. The superin-
tendent was taken so completely by
surprise, and was so deeply moved by
this unexpected expression of good
will that he could only with the
greatest difficulty express his sincere
thanks. Mr.. Ustrud was born in
Minnehaha county, twelve miles out
from Sioux Falls, on the fourth of
November 1871, and is a splendid type
of a native South Dakotan, having
been brought up on her soil and edu-
Gated in her Institutions of learning.
May he live long and continue to
honor his native state.

The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1907-07-27

A man once heard a rather juicy
story al a banquet. When he got home
he told it to his wife, but somehow
it didn't seem to amuse her at all.
STRANGE. So the text day he told
it to his stenographer. She laughed
so hard that she nearly fell off his
lap. WELL, WE'LL. Thus then we see
that different people like different
things, and the world continues to
travel arould and keep tolerably well
contented. If everybody cooked with
gas what would the coal man do?
