Foil Suicide Attempts.

Suddenly losing his mind and with

man and William Mann, a neighbor,
watched him day and night with the
object of frustrating efforts at suicide.
On two occasions the demented
man eluded the vigilance of his guards
and only by miracle failed to sue
coed in ending his life. Once he Sc
cured possession of a dull knife, with
which he slashed his throat, but he
was detected in the act and the knife
was snatched from him before he
could inflict a fatal wound. Failing
In this attempt he watched his oppor.

and other guards was momentarily
relaxed and rushed from the house to
a nearby pond. into which he threw
himself In an effort to end his life
by drowning. But again he was res
cued, and 1t finally was decided to
apply to the authorities and have him
sent to the asylum where he can re-

with pig as the subject, did not
bring results that were convincing to
one of the alleged owners of the pork
or. and a dispute over the animal,
which already has cost 800, appears
only to have begun.
1t Is alleged that Jake Lyon, peace
able farmer near Miller, went to the
hog lot of Charles Sanger, another in.
offensive husbandman, In daylight,
and took away what he claimed was
one Of his strayed porkers.
Mr.. Sanger says he saw from the
field where he was working the do
ings of Mr.. Lyon and fastened to ad-
monish him, telling him to put the hog
back in the lot, which Lyon refused
to do. Sanger then drove to Miller,
about thirty miles, and swore out a
warrant for Lyons arrest on the
charge of grand larceny. The sheriff
went after the accused and the time
was set for hearing the case. The
defendant moved that the matter be
arbitrated instead of being heard as a
criminal charge. The plaintiff wished
to be lenient with his neighbor, and
agreed to the motion The arbitrat-
ors picked by the litigants were Ed
Silkins, banker; Barney Hagman,
banker, and Charles Buss, postmaster
and storekeeper, all of Bockham.
A day was set by the disputing set
tiers to 90 out to the Lyon ranch and
see and take testimony as to the
rightful owner of the hog. 1t was de-
cided that Mr.. Lyon keep the animal,
and Mr.. Sanger be given IS. The de-
cision was so unsatisfactory to San
ger that he at once started for Miller
again to have the case opened for re-
plevin papers and now will try to get
the hog in that way. The case has
already cost the parties about 500,
and 1t has hardly got started, accord
ingto Mr.. Sanger.
It seems that the arbitrators took
novel way of determining the owner,
ship Of the hog. They turned it in
with the Lyon hogs to see If it was
acquainted. They then put 1t in with
the Sanger heard of swine but the
psychological test was not convinc-
ing success, and those who ventured
an opinion on the merits of the ex-
pertinent were regarded by the dis
putants as rank nature fakers."

Mrs. w. D. Sherrard OF the chiIdren's

Mrs. w. 3. Sherrard OF the chiIdren's
Home at Sioux Falls 10 Dead.
Ripe In years, rich In deeds of char.
ity, poor In purse, but millionaire in
noble achievement, Elizabeth Hazle-
ton Sherrard, wife of William B.
Serrard, of the South Dakota Chill
dren's Home society, passed away at
the home after short illness. Mrs.
Sherrard was nearly seventy-nine
mother Of over 1900 children. Her
noble spirit has passed along, but the
work she did in this life will show In
higher character, and happier homes
and better things for hundred years
to come.
No one can say how much good one
does who saves one child from a bad
environment. Mrs. Sherrard has de-
voted her whole life to child rescue,
and no one can say in set phrases and
cold figures how much good this gen.
tie, frail. devoted and gray-haired
woman has done. Her hands are idle
and her heart Is cold for the first time
in nearly seventy-nine years, and thir-
teen hundred children, and their chill
dren, and their friends will read this
news with pang of regret and with
tear of gratitude in the eye.
Eighteen years ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Sherrard settled in Clark county in
this state Over one hundred children
were handled by them from the farm
house in Clark county. The work out
grew the equipment and fifteen years
ago they removed to Sioux Falls
where the Children's Home society
was organized

propose erecting came up for discus

FUNCTIONS OF THE STATE.
Interesting Analysis Made by Bishop

Interesting Analysis Made by Bishop
Stang of Fall River.
In recent address in ST. Mary's
thus analysed the functions OF the
state:
The state should not absorb the
rights of individuals, bat should keep
them inviolate unless they clash with
the common good and the interests of
others. The proper office of the gov
eminent is to foster public we'll being
and private prosperity by maintaining
peace and good order, safeguarding
family life, respecting religion and
Furnishing evil doors.
Civil authority may step in to In
terfere if through strikes there is I'M
Ininent danger of disturbance to the
public peace, If in workshops and fac
tories there is danger to morals
through the mixing of sexes or from
any occasion of evil, if the health OF
faborers is endangered by excessive
work or the want of sanitary arrange.
ments or if labor is unsuited to sex or
age, but the state should not intervene
in or NEEDLE with private concerns any
further than is required for the rem.
edy of the evil or the removal of the
danger. The state should not only
protect private ownership as some.
thing sacred and inviolable, but its pol
icy should be to induce as many people
as possible to become owners. The
possessor Of the poorest cabin will not
change it for the dreams of a socialis.
