Fred Richardson, formerly of this
city, is now under arrest at Rapid
City on the charge of forging a check
OF a fellow employer and securing
the money that did not belong to
him. Richardson was in Mitchell
last year and worked at the mason
trade until late in the fall when be

Mitchell his career is said to have
been rather checkered, and the
man from whom he rented a house
suffered considerable at his hands

of property from him while living in
his house, Notwithstanding the fact
that he showed him every possible

SOCIAL CONDITIONS IN STATE
Penal Institutions Have Small Per

w. e. Upton, corresponding Sec
rotary OF the National Conference Of
Charities and Corrections. which
holds it's annual session in Richmond,

some interesting facts relative to
social conditions in South Dakota.
The showing is a remarkable one for
a Young state with 500, 600 popuIa-
tion. IL appears that OIL January LIST.
1908, there we're 1875 men and 2
women doing tine in the state prison
at Sioux Falls, "a of whom were
serving life sentences. q large
majority Of he cnnvlcts, however, are
short time prisoners. 1t is shown
that In the various county jails OF
this state there were % men and
not a single woman serving short
time sentences for minor offences,
and that there we're "a men and one
woman being held in the jails await
ing trial. There were So boys and
IL girls being educated in the State
Training School al, Plankinton.
One Of the most significant facts
shown Is that Of our entire popula-
tion only ITO men and los women are
being cared for in poor houses and
aims houses In the state, and that a
mere bakers dozen are receiving
public aid In their homes. These
figures do not include the inmates OF
the Solaier's Home. There we're ASP
men and 255 women in the hospital
for Insane at Yankton. This makes
one insane person for about every
700 OF our population OH the average.
The usual average Is about one In
45O to 500. There we're 10 boys and
88 girls In the school for feeble

Street Men Harbor.
Let all the dear readers. feminine

lows, for surely the fairer sex is, after
all, the stronger sex. Women know no
such abject obedience to superstitious
fears and signs as do the men. With
a view to eliciting something of inter.
est, the writer had a chance to put o
certain question to a captain of indus

would you?" With a promise that no
names would be mentioned, he finally
agreed to tell a thing or two.
The question was. aren't men IL
Wall street carrying all sorts of queer
things to try to change their luck?'
In answer to this the writer heard
some curious stories. One man Of
worldwide fame. for example, carries
q cane in the center Of which there is
a slender steel rod. Circling the rod
there are rings made of leather and Of
hard rubber, like the washers that
plumbers use. Each seventh ring is
made Of leather from the soles of the
shoes Worn by the Millionaire during
what he considered his luckiest year.
Elephants and pigs as lucky charms
there are of course in plenty, but the
proper caper is to wear the animal
pinned inside on the watch fob pocket.
Then there is another great %Gnancier
who carries with him a gold ink well
and would never sign a document with
fluid from another receptacle. Once
upon a time, when he had, say, only a
picayune million or two, he signed a
paper in a deal that doubled, then ire
bled, his wealth. The ink used that
day was emptied into a long gold tube
or well that he now carries. The ink
was used up, but to the we'll, so he
thinks, the good luck power has been
translated. Lucky coins pass from fa-
Their to son in several of the multimil-
lionaire families, and the man who in
herits them would never be without
them. We have few secret drawers in
desks or doors in houses, as they had
In olden times, but there are many Sc
cret pockets in the suits made by

Admiral pewey's Birthday.

Washington. Admiral George
Dewey was seventy years old Thurs,
day. He is in splendid health and
robust in physique.
Among his callers were number OF
those who attended the admirals birth
day dinner last week, which was ad-
vanced in date because President
Roosevelt expected to be In Pine Knot,
Va, today. These circumstances re
called happy toast which the Presi-
dent prepared when they drank to the
health of the admiral. 1t follows:
ITO the man who has done more Tor
and reflected greater glory on America
than any other man now living.
The toast was met with hearty re-
sponse from those surrounding the ad-
miral's table.
At the meeting of the Naval Relief
Association the admiral was presented
with two silver ink wells. The health
of the admiral was drunk from de-
canter, containing MADEIRA wine OF the
vintage Of 1S47. The decanter was
formerly the property of George Wash
ington. and Surgeon General van
Reypen. who made the presentation,
said I: was eminently fitting that the
health "of the other George, whom we
all love-" should be drunk from the
same decanter.

COMING WEST.
Shoe Industry Gradually Leaving
Eastern Coast.
once, boy.

Massachusetts and Connecticut are
generally thought of as the big shoe
manufacturing states, but, as the great
west has become more densely popu-
lated, these states are slowly losing
prestige. ...
Wisconsin, for instance, has the
largest manufacturer of full yamp
shoes in the world-The F. Mayer
Boot & Shoe Co. of Milwaukee. The
market for this company's product is
the great west from the Mississippi
to the Pacific Undoubtedly 1t is Mil
waukee's nearness to this great west
market which is responsible for the
great growth of this concern which
has been in proportion to the growth
of the west. In the last 25 years they
have outgrown six factories. 1nclud-
ing the new Seattle factory nearly
completed and the Milwaukee factory
annex built this last year the total
capacity of the Mayer Boot G Shoe
Company exceeds 5000 pairs per day,
which already has been inadequate to
meet the demand of the west.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used, In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
which not only destroys the
but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great

DEFENSE OF THE BACHELOR.
Baltimore Man Points Out a Few
Facts Generally Overlooked.

AS matter of fact, 1t Is obvious
that more crimes are committed by
married men than by single men, for
the simple reason THAT many offenses
exceedingly popular among the former
are entirely impossible to the latter.
One such crime is wife murder. How
could a single man murder his wife?
There are IT'S wife murderers in the
United States every year, and all are
committed by married men. Again.
consider the crime of demonicide, or
mother-in-law killing. Its practice Is
confined entirely to married men. And
forget not the lesser felonies and mis-
demeanors. How could single man
elope with his wife's sister? How
could he desert his children? How
could he commit bigamy? How could
he firt with his wife's maid! How
could he be accused of non-support?
What incentive is there for him to
cheat the gas meter. swindle the in
stalment man or rob his brother-in-
law at poker? Being prosperous. well
fed and happy-as all bachelors are
why should he steal, forge, embezzle,
burgle or fight Sun.

Character begins in the cradle.
Stolen Antiquities,

1t is asserted by good authority that
nearly all the rare art antiquities to
be found in the museums of various
countries have at some time in their
history been the possession OF thieves.
Valuable vestments and rare old paint
ings are stolen every year from
churches where they are valued more
highly than gold of their own weight.
A gentleman well versed in such
matters tells us that Napoleon stole
the nose from off the Sphinx that he
might carry it home as a relic TO he
placed in curio museum. And had
not the Pyramids been of such pro-
portion and weight they would now
be gracing the different museums OF
the world. reposing in fragments in
glass-fronted cases.

Welded TO AN INDIAN.
Miss Cora M. Arnold Of Denver Mar.
ries Aibino chavarria Of New
Mexico.

Denver--The News gives the fol-
lowing account of the marriage of a
white woman to a Pueblo Indian:
Miss Cora Marie Arnold. step
daughter OF the late George Wilder and
well known in Denver, was married
last Monday in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
to Albino Chavarria, full-blooded In
dian. The ceremony was performed
by the Rev. Mr.. Rendon, a Presbyte-
rian minister, and was witnessed by
the brides sisters. Misses Lillian and
Geneva Arnold, also of Denver.
The wedding was the end of ro-
nance which had its beginning five
years ago during the Mountain and
Plain festival in Denver. Chavarria.
chief of the Santa Clara Indians, a
tribe of the Pueblos, was brought to
Denver with a large number of his
tribesmen for one of the exhibits.
Among those who visited the Indians
in their camp at City park was Miss
Arnold, who, upon seeing the broad
shouldered, pleasant-mannered chief
attired in native costume, Immediately
formed an attachment for him. She
made frequent visits to the camp, and
later the Indian was invited to call at
her home.
Miss Arnold lived with her step
father and sisters in the Colonnade
flats, at Colfax avenue and Marion
street, and the family was one OF the
most prominent on Capitol hill. Miss
Lillian Arnold was formerly teacher
in the Denver public schools, and an
other sister is the wife of United
States army officer.
The Indians first visit to his sweet
heart was the cause of a disagreement
between her and the remaining men,
bers of her family. Objection was
made only to the Indians race, his
character being above reproach. MISS
Arnold, however, announced her In
tention to marry the chief despite
the objections of her family and
friends. Several ministers were asked
to perform the ceremony, but all re-
fused.
An attempt was made to have the
ceremony performed in Santa Fe, but
in that city also the clcrgymen re-
fused to ofIlciate. Miss Arnold re-
turned to Denver alone, but the Indian
made frequent visits to the city, each
one of which was the cause OF new
outburst of gossip.
Chavarria is fully civilized, religious,
fairly well educated and well TO 40
He speaks the Indian and Spanish IAN
guages, but does not understand Eng
lish, and Miss Arnold set to work TO
learn the Spanish.
In April, 1905, George Wilder was
drowned in the Gulf of Mexico while
enroute from Galveston to Havana. He
left a will in which he disinherited the
present Mrs. Chavarria because OF her
refusal to give up her Indian lover.
The other sisters were left the entire
estate, which consists of some OF the
best real estate in Denver.
After five years of effort the sisters
of Miss Arnold finally consented to the
marriage, and one month ago they
went with her to New Mexico. Cha'
varria owns a large farm near Taos,
New Mexico, which he cultivates him
self, and it is understood that the cou'
pie will make their home there. Cha
ysrria is forty-five years old, and his
wife is few years his junior
