A curious intermingling of old Indian
custom and modern civilization was
witnessed at Wakpola Tuesday of last
week Joseph Claymore, a wealthy
halfbreed, gave big feast to his people
the occasion being the erection of a
tombstone to his dead son. The monu-
ment was life size representation OF
the crucifixion, and at the foot of the
grave and at the sides we're stones with
the cattle and horse brands of the dead
man engraved thereon. Hundreds OF
Indians were at the feast Two steers
were roasted and 100 pies baked. Case
after case of oranges, apples, canned
goods and other dainties were eaten
The cost of the celebration was in the
neighborhood Of $500. Claymore's
father, who is white man, is the oldest
living resident of the two Dakotas,
having come to this state in 1889, and
resided continuously here ever since.

Major John H. Mclaughlin, the ven-

brief illness The deceased returned to
his home only few days prior to his
death from st, Paul, where he attended
the recent session of the sovereign grard

from the grand lodge of this state.
Major Mclaughlin visited Dell Rapids

After having enjoyed her liberty for

Sioux Falls, held to answer to the
charge of having fred the shot which
killed her husband, John O'Grady, is
once more an inmate of the county Jail
in Sioux Falls Her reincarceration is
the latest sensation in this now famous
case. The three Sioux Falls men who
had signed the bond for her release SUR
rendered her to the county authorities.
The action of the bondsmen--M oritz
Levinger. George w. Burnside and j.
II. Toohey-was precipitated when
papers were filed in the office Of the reg.
lister of deeds conveying 70 George w.
Egnns an attorney OF Logan, Iowa, the
O'Grady farm. and bill of sale covering
all the O'Grady personal property. I,
appears that Mrs. O'Grady discharged
the Sioux Falls attorneys, whose ser.
vices she engaged soon after the tragic
death of her husband and who repre-.
sented her at the coroner's inquest and
at her preliminary examination. Not
dreaming Of trouble with her bonds
men, Mrs. O'Grady had planned to
remain at the O'Grady homo, in COM
pany with woman friend. until her
trial the latter part Of November. Mrs.
O'Grady was not long in the custody OF
the sheriff on "Wednesday afternoon,
when surrendered by her bondsmen.
As soon AZ the re-arrest of Mrs. o. Grady
was known q movement was at once
started which produced new bond on
which she was released. The new bond
was signed by Andrew Fuehn. DIR Egan
and Nick Roster.

plain duty. The minutes of the annual
meeting did not show that auy such
action was taken. The records Of the
board of education did not show that
they had done anything Of the kind. The
correspondence Of Mr.. Stout with the
University authorizes, which he submitted
to the county commissioners, showed that
he had taken the matter up away along
in June. 1907, after the school year was
closed. This kind Of evidence Of good
faith and fair dealing may appear conclu-
sive to people Of excessive wisdom but to
the common plug it looks painfully thin.
AS stated last week. the Medicine

until this year and it does not appear

superintendent. We say negligence be-
cause that is the most charitable way to
express it:

to scarlatina.

RESOLUTIONS OF CoNpoLENcE.


On the death of our respected brother. DR.. W. .
H. Moore.
Knowing full well that however much we
might say at this time. it can do but little to
assuage the grief of the stricken family and
friends of our deceased brother, yet in our de-
sire to express our sympathy for them in their
bereavement and our own respect at this time,
we seize this opportunity to pay las tribute
of memory to our dead brother and friend.
Brother Moore was perhaps the oldest mem
Der of the fraternity in our lodge, having been
made Mason at Drakeville, Iowa, February
Is, 1857, remaining true to the Graf until the
day of his death. He has ever been just and
upright Mason among US, and by his kindly
disposition and upright character he has com.
manded the universal love and respect of his
brethren.
Our feelings, however sad they may be, can
in nowise compare with those of his family.
He has been well known as kind and loving
husband and father. who has devoted his en-
tire time and energies during long and use
full life to the happiness of his wife and fam-
ly, seeking rather at all times their happiness
in all things than an accumulation of this
worlds goods.
To the family we extend our most sincere
oJ concurrence, express
sing the hope that, in accordance with the de-
signs found upon the trestle-board of life and
specifications contained in that Book of Life,
the Mason's rule and guide of faith, the Holy
Bible-this memorial, dedicated to the mem
ory of this worthy brother. may serve to re-
mind us. that though we may be stricken
down while our work is unfinished and our
column broken. the lesson of such death will
raise US to regions of pure thought and stimu-
late us to greater achievements.
Finally. brethren, we are again forcibly re-
minded that all along the pathway of life are
tombstones. by the side of which we have
promised to strive for heaven, and again, we
are ad:nonished that the summons will come
to us sooner or later. and that with each re-
curing report we are brought face to face
with the Importance of not only building a
complete character in this life, but one that
will bring us eternal JOY.
We may here resolve that we shall, by the
help of the Lien of the Tribe of Judah, build
stately mansions in which G God may be pleas
ed to dwell. Respectfully submitted,
