largely by the individuals themselves,
though a certain part of the expenses
are borne by the Asahi Shimbun. In
Guided in the party are two represen-
tatives of the Asahi Shimbun who will
write up the tour for their paper.
By the last mail from the Orient

asking him to extend such helpful cour-
tesies to the party as lies within his
power.
The itinerary includes a journey
across the continent from San Fran

Our 1908 Easter Cards

We are now displaying one of the
handsomest lines of Easter Cards this
season that has ever been offered to
the trade. These are cut out crosses
in a variety of shapes, decorated with
spring flowers, angels, and illuminated
texts. The folders are shown in many
styles, exquisitely colored and design
ed. One of the daintiest is a series of
ten designs with delicate green bor-
ders and green palm leaf cross with a
few flowers in the center. The in
scription inside is printed in colors and
gold.
Among the novelties there are cut
out rabbits that have moving eyes,
and also a large hen sitting on a bas-
ket with holes in it, behind which is
a moving card showing chickens peep
ing out through the holes. Among the
cunningest cards for the children are
little cut out chicks all dressed in their
Easter finery.
Out of town customers would do well
to order early.

THIEVES NEST YIELDS
PRISONERS AND LOOT

Sioux Falls. s. D.. Nov. 2S-As the re-
suit Of a recent wholesale raid on farm
houses and school houses in the northern
part of Lincoln county, two men, named
Eli Burns and August c. Bandzus, have
been arrested In this city on the charge OF
having been responsible for the raid.
One OF the places visited by the thieves
was the home Of a farmer named Dudley.
living in the northern part OF Lincoln
county. To the energy OF Dudley is in
directly due the arrest of Burns and
Bandzus and the recovery of the stolen
property. Dudley personally took up the
trail OF the then unknown persons who
had robbed his home and traced them to
Sioux Falls.
Becoming convinced that they had come
to this city he secured the assistance Of
Deputy Sheriff Eugene Kelley. Suspicion
was directed toward Burns and Randzus,
and the deputy sheriff maintained a watch
and discovered that the two men were
making their home in the loft OF a barn
on the place rented by Burns.
Securing a search warrant the deputy
sheriff visited the loft of the barn, where
he not only found a good share of the
property stolen from Dudley, but also
much other plumber, including school
books, school charts, a clock taken from
one of the robbed school houses, together
with considerable other loot OF much the
same character as that mentioned.
The purpose of the thieves evidently was
10 dispose of the stolen property as rapidly
as would be safe, and thus secure cash
from their operations. The recovered prop
erty has been taken charge OF by the au-
thorities and is being returned to the own
ers as rapidly as possible, while the of
tenders are facing long terms in the peni
tertiary.

Chicago, Nov. 26.-The Peoples Mu-
tual Telegraph company, promoted and
organized by the board of trade opera
tors in Chicago, st. Louis and Kansas
city, n designed to compete with

companies at reduced rates, last
night asked the city council for an
ordinance granting it the right TO nego-
tate contracts with the Metropolitan
and Elevated company for stringing
telegraph wires on it's structure and
with the Commonwealth Edison COM
pany for the use of its conduits. The
new company, whose stockholders are
members OF the board OF trade in three
cities, propose to amalgamate indepen-
dent telephone companies and to use

grams between Chicago, St. Louis and

HUSBAND WOULD
ESCAPE HIS MUCH
WANTED PARTNER
Hangs Himself to Be Free from
Woman Who Was Much
Sought After.

Florence. :. D., Nov, 2S.-Alas for TO-
mance! A young woman who was
loved and courted by a whole town,
and with the entire world watching
the struggle for her hand, rs told in
the newspapers, has driven the success
full sutton, her husband, to attempt sui
eide. And now ii all Is to end IN a
sordid divorce court.
This is one OF the newer towns or
South Dakota. 1t thrived from the
start, following the building of the
Minneapolis q st. Louis o through
this county. AS is the case with All
young towns, It's population was Tor
some time made up of men only. n
then came a widow and
that she would open a restaurant ana
boarding house. Needless to say every
man in the town. sickened of bachelor >
hash, became a patron. Even IL ther"
had been other women in the town,
,!he young widow would have attract
ed the attention of the men. She was
'comely and possessed a tongue Just
sharp enough to challenge their chiv-
airy. Presently all the unmarried men
of the town-and that meant nearly all
began to vie with eac other In pay
ing her attention. Indeed, n ardor OF
the various courtships would nave Sc
riously interfered with her business II
she had not possessed so muCn lnue-
pendence. But for weeks not n OF
her many admirers could gain an ad-
vantage. The young woman, expert
enced as she was In matrimony, was
taking her time.
In the meantime the newspapers
heard of the race for her hand n
every advantage gained by any of her
numerous lovers was quickly enron
iicled. Finally her choice fell upon
William Austin. a young indus
'trious and good-natureJ carpenter. The
lothers took their defeat gracefully,
venting their disappointment in the
noisest charivari ever heard in the
county.
Last week, Mrs. Austin went out into
the summer kitchen of her home, and
found her husband dangling from the
end OF q rope. He had hung II over "A
stout spike and had pulled himself up.
His face was almost bursting with
blood and he gurgled as she cut him
down. And then she ran for help.
Thus il was told to the world that the
man who had worsted so many rivals
to make the woman his wife, had been
driven to suicide by the keenness OF
her tongue. Not only did he say that
she had harassed him until he had
taken to drink, but had made him so
miserable he preferred to die. Mrs.
Austin denies she has been a scold, blu
both she and her husband have re-
tanned counsel for a divorce.

DEFENDANT Tells
OF CLARK MURDER
Shot Him With One Revolver
and Attempted Own Life
With Another.

Vermlllion, :. D.. Nov. 26,-Mrs.
Christine Clark was on the stand All of
the forenoon in a strict c"ross-eXamin-
alton Of her direct testimony or yesteT-
day afternoon, which h gave pract-
caily In accordance with the testimony
of the sheriff and states attorney, who
took her statement previous 10 Clarks
death. In her direct examination she
animated that Clark had stayed at the
house at intervals since his return from,
North Dakota, about the frSt or July,
but in her cross-eXaminatlon n was
brought to admit that he mad remained
there regularly each night even though
working part OF the time for a neigh
Dor where she had helped him TO pro-
cure employment.
This morning she was shown the re-,
volver which has been in the n OF.
the sheriff since the tragedy n ad-
mitted that IT was the one with which
she did the shooting and which Clark
took away from her as he made his
escape into the road. She a ] that she.
bought the revolver in Nermillion a
year ago last October on the day that
the divorce was granted and proposed
to protect herself with II. She claims,
that she had three revolvers, and With
one OF the remaining two undertook 10.
shoot herself after shooting Clark. The.
first shot went wild and struck the wall.
and the second attempt ended in fail.
IRE as the revolver failed to discharge.
Why She Shot Clark.
In her direct testimony, Mrs. Clark.
stated that at four different times.
Clark had attempted to do violence to.
her virtue, but hat she la evaded him.
until the date OF the fatal shooting.
when she awoke from sleep upon the.
lounge and found him standing over
her. She protested. but he caught her.
arms and rendered her protests helpless
and proceeded with the preparation OF
the crime. Afterward he returned to-
his reading, handing her a part of the.
paper, which she could not read, as.
there was a blur before her eyes.
When questioned as to her reason for
getting up later and shooting Clark,
she replied at first that she did not,
know, but later testified that she
thought 1t was time to end the whole
matter by shooting him and herself.
1t was noticed that when Mrs. Clark
was handed the revolver today. she
shuddered and drew back from it at
first, and when she took it her color left
her face, and when she testified con
corning the shooting she broke down
and cried violently for a short time.
Only once has she smiled and that was
when she detailed a little conversation
which had taken place at the table be-
tween her and Clark. Mrs. Clark left
the stand at noon today, and il seems
likely that most of the evidence will
be offered this afternoon and the case
go to the jury tomorrow.
? There are several physicians on hand.
Including DR.. Mead, OF the hopsital for
the insane at Yankton, but il cannot
yet be told whether their testimony
will be taken. All are expected to be
ready to give expert testimony either
for the prosecution or defense.

INDIANS BECOME ACTIVE
FARMERS AND GARDENERS

Crow Greek Indian Agency. S. D.,
Nov. 2S.-The Sioux Indians belonging
at this agency nave made a good rec
ord during the past season in an agri-
cultural way, and proved themselves
to be good amateur farmers. Only a
comparatively few years ago these
Indians would nave ridiculed the idea
that they would ever ave to give any
of their attention to crop raising, which
was supposed to be good enough only
for the white man. Now, however.
they have taken hold of farm n gar

the Indians now are receiving an in

the season just closed. A large num-
Der of them raised generous quantities
OF potatoes. and these now are being
sold TO Chamberlain merchants at good
cash prices. There are many white
farmers adjoining the reservation who
do not raise even enough potatoes for
their w use. while the Indians have a
surplus which they are turning into
money.

WHEATON ASKS
SUPREME COURT
ABOUT POOR OIL
Food Commissioner Puts Up
Fight Against Adulterated
Flax Seed Product.

Canton, :. d., Nov. 28.-The South
Dakota supreme court will be asked to
say whether adulterated linseed oil
may be sold in competition with the
pure product. That is the way A. III.
Wheaton, South Dakota food commits
sioner, puts it.
The South Dakota supreme court is
TO be asked 10 say whether a manu-
~facturer shall have his business injured
by a law prohibiting from selling an
adulterated product as such. That is
the way the American Linseed OIL com
pany. of Cleveland and Omaha, puts 1t.
This in brief constitutes the case be-.
tween the above named company n
the pure food commissioner, which
was heard at Canton Yesterday before
Judge Jones. The court is asked TO
issue a restraining order against the
enforcement OF the law, The case will
go TO the supreme court, however it is
decided by Judge Jones. Commission
er Wheaton, in support Of his ruling
against the company, states that it is
the only concern, in his knowledge,
selling linseed oil in south Dakota iR
violation of the law.
Forty Per Cent Mineral.
Commissioner Wheaton asserts that
upon analysis he found the product of
this company to contain 40 per cent.
of mineral oil Of a much lower value
than linseed, and that because of this
mixture the company is able to sell
at lower prices than the makers Of the
Yure product, He wrote 100 letters to
dealers in the state, warning them
against this oil, and thereupon the
company asked for an injunction
against him.
The South Dakota law provides that
no person, firm or corporation shall
sell. expose or offer for sale any fax
seed or linseed oil. unless Vt is lone
under its true name and 1t is further
stipulated that il shall pass the test
for purity prescribed in the United
States pharmacopoeia.
The company admits its product is
only so per cent. pure, but insists that
this has been plainly stated on the la
bel. 1t is asserted, further. that their
product is described as "linseed oil,
raw, with thinner and drier," and lin
seed oil, boiled, with drier." The com
Oany, through it's attorney, Hugh A.
Meyers, of Omaha, claims that there
is no law in South Dakota applicable
TO their product. and if ii is, that il is
unconstitutional. The question really
resolves itself into one whether an
adulterated linseed oil may be sold at
all if it's label tells what it is.
