TRAGEDY or TURF RECALLED.
Owners Sudden Death Just as His
lorse Won Great Race.

Half an hour before the race for the
Two Thousand Guineas of 1888 Prince
Batthyany, who bred st, Simon and
who was one of the most popular ra-
cling men of any time was talking
with Lord Cadogan in the luncheon
room of the Jockey club stand at New
market when he suddenly reeled and
fell, says the Westminster Gazette.
He was carried to- Weatherby's office
and doctors were summoned; but the
prince was beyond all human aid, and
Just before the bell4Tang for the race
for which his colt Galliard, brother OF
st. Simon. was first favorite, ne
breathed his last.
A few minutes later ''the clear blue
sky rang with cheers and shouts as
the horses came laundering along,
which rose into roar as Galliard won
by a head" while behind the drawn
blinds Of Weatherby's Office Galliards
owner, who had been looking forward
so eagerly to this moment was lying
dead. 1t was owing to the death Of his
owner that GalopinS great son could
not run In the Derby of 1884, which
he would almost certainly have won.

Mr.. Green's Waterloo.

Mr. Green had been paying four dol
lars a week for board; his appetite
constantly increased. Finally his land
lady saw that she must either sell out
and quit or raise her boarder's rate
One day, after watching him feverish-
ly devouring plateful after plateful,
she plucked up courage, and said
Mr.. Green. l shall have to raise
your board to five dollars"
Mr.. Green looked up with start,
then in tone of CONSERVATION he
said:
"Oh, Mrs. Small, don't! It's as much
as can do now to eat four dollars
worth. Woman's Home Companion.

NEWSY STATE NOTES.

Mrs. Sully. widow of Jack Sully, the
notorious on tlaw killed few years ago
In running fight with United States
marshal, has started a suit in Judge
Carland's court for 10000 acres of land
on the Rosebud reservation which she
claims as allotments because of her
Indian blood.
Secretary of the Interior Garfield
Friday sent protest to congress against
the price which the government has
placed upon the school lands in North
and South Dakota. He insists that the
lndians should be paid 50 so per acre
instead OF $l.25 which is provided for in
the act for the purchase of the property.
The secretary says that at the Standing
Rock conference with the Indians.
Special Inspector James Mclaughlin
agreed to pay 81 25 for the land. This
agreement, the secretary thinks, should
be binding upon congress and that the
Indians should receive $3.50, 900 for their
property instead of $225, 900 which was
allowed by the act
Fearing that others might put in an
appearance to file on two of the very
few pieces of government land now
remaining open to homesteaders on the
Sisseton reservation, John Halbauer
and Julius Schmidt. both of Roberts
county, sat In front of the door leading
into the suite Of offices of the register
of the United States land office in the
government building in Aberdeen ali
Monday. They were accompanied BY
their attorney, Howard Babcock, OF
Sisseton. who relieved them long enough
to enable them to get their meals. They
filed upon the land at o'clock Tuesday
morning, after having stood guard a.

600 acres-3 TOO head OF cattle, IL 600
sheep and other live stock, in addition
to much other property. About thirty
years ago there were only three of
these colonies-Wolf Creek, Bonhomme
and Elm Springs. The Bonhomme
colony at that time owned seven ouar.
ter sections of land; Wolf Greek and
Elm Springs had little more. THIRTY
years ago there were forty-six families
in the three colonies. Today the fa,i.
lies in the three colonies number 255
which illustrates the rapid growth Of
the colonies. The members of the
various colonies are among the hap

A drunken man got rather
obstreperous on the east bound train
last night and was put off at this
station. He raised objections to
the proceedings and Marshal Bro
kaw found it necessary to use phys
ical persuasian, and when the fracas
subsidized the obstreperous member
was the possessor of cash on his
head which required two or three
stitches to close. Marshal Brokaw
then collared his prisoner and
marched him to the local bastile,
where he is still confined.
5. S. Yeager, of Valley township,
marketed bunch of hogs here last
Saturday, which we believe entities
him to the grand prize for this part
OF the state, The entire bunch of
hogs weighed 1885 pounds and
were sold to VIM. Rankin at 5 cents
per pound. Among the bunch was
one hog, which tipped the scales at
800 even. This, we believe, is the
largest hog that has ever been
marketed in this county, or in this
part of the state. Mr.. Yeager is a
progressive farmer and believes
thoroughly in diversified farming
If more of the farmers would devote
their time to raising stock there is
no reason why they could not be as
successful as Mr.. Yeaper.

ness to the big Corner but the cloud
and the sun have played the stellar
roles. Country dealers - handlers
throughout Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and
Nebraska principally the mar.
kct, have the grain AT hand to deliver
on their contracts which expire with
the month, but the recent heavy rains
have called halt to their shipping
operations.
While the uninitiatcd galleries nut-
tered and wiggled with the eXcitment
born of the skyward leap of May
corn, the former mayor of Evanston
was glancing over the weather map,
apparently oblivious to what was
Transporting in the seething pit. He
was to all appearances, the least in
terested man in the corn trade.
The extent of Mr.. Patterns holdings
with those of his conferee and bust
ness partner William II. Bartlett, is
not known to anybody outside of
their own office, but men who have
tried to follow the progress OF the
deal figure that he holds approximate
ly 100000 bushels of the golden
grain. Mr.. Patten also is supposed
to be long about 100000 bushels of
oats which on paper stands him a
handsome profit,
While many of the smaller shorts
have been hard hit by the big rise
in the price OF corn, bulls and small
caliber have flourished. Those who
have had the courage to stand with
the big operator throughout the deal
are in the proverbial clover. Many
things can happen between now and
the end of the month, but many in
the trade believe that conditions war

of the more radical have gone so far

FUTURE OF WOE.
Engineer Predicts Time When Coal
and Wood Will be Gone.

New York. May 23.-Dr. Charles
Steinmetz, consulting engineer of the
General Electric company at Shenec.
tady, and professor of electrical en-
gineering at Union college, painted a
doleful picture yesterday of what life
will be in the world when the coal
supply has been exhausted, when the
natural fertility of the soil has been
used up and when the population has
largely increased. He thought ulti-
mately the people of the earth would
have to look to electricity for
heat; would have to depend on it to
refertilize the earth, for food and
clothing to keep people alive.
DR.. Steinmetz spoke in the hall of
the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers to the students and friends
of the New York Electrical Trade
school. His subject was The Future
of Electricity"
"You who sit in this ROOM" he said
will see the time when there will be
no more hard coal. You may see the
time, too, when supplies of soft coal
are so far removed that they won't
be worth while bringing to the people
1t can't last very long. And there is
a possibility that some day people
will wake up to the fact that soft
coal pOisOns the atmosphere. Then
they may prohibit it. But it can't be
very great while before we must
seek for some other means than coal
for keeping warm. Wood has long
since been discarded, as coal must
be. What next?
at seems to me that our best hope
is electricity. But we must have
power for that. With coal out of the
question where is the power to come
from? The solution of the problem
seems to be our natural water power
of which we use so very little now"

STOLE HER CLOTHES.
Wife TeIephoned Police, Who Soon
Recovered Wearinu Apparel.


Danville, H., May 23.-Mrs. Ed
ward Hardy telephoned police head
quarters and asked for the sergeant
on duty, That functionary answer
ed.
whats that you say, madam" he
said into the transmitter.
A response from the other end.
"W-w-~what? Your er-er clio
clothes. Oh, yes. All of them?
Didn't leave a single thing! Sure
madam, er-er l mean yes, indeed
madam right away"
And the sergeant got red about the
gills and called a waiting copper.
The copper went to the street as
fast as his legs would carry him,
came back to the station with Edward
Hardy, % years old. Mr.. Hardy car
ried a bundle under his arm, large
bundle, and looked sheepishly toward
the sergeant, who told him to open it.
A moment later the charges made
over the telephone against Edward
Hardy by his wife were substantial
ed 1t was proved that he had left
home and taken all of Mrs Hardy's
clothes with him, and Mrs. Hardy
just couldn't leave the house. That
is why, of course, she telephoned the
sergeant to apprehend her husband,
and then get the clothes back to her
in as short time as possible. She
said she just had to keep dinner
engagement in an uD-tOWn restaurant
in half an hour.
Five minutes later a bicycle mes
senger delivered the clothes at Mrs.
Hardys door. Twenty minutes later
she appeared at police headquarters,
where her husband was still held.
In another five she had sworn out a
warrant, charging him with theft and
| in another five she was two blocks
away and she had her clothes.
