HOUSE famine ON
AT GREGORY, S. D;
RENTS ARE HIGHER
One Room Shacks Bring sic
to SIS Per Month---Town
Is Rs-districted.

Gregory, S. d., March 11-Since March
L Immigration into this section has been
unusually heavy. One day last week
a special train containing emlgrane
cars arrived and was all unloaded at
Gregory.
All though the number of new build
ings erected in Gregory during the lat
ter part of 1907 eclipsed all records, the
demand for buildings now seems TO be
greater than ever before. In fact an
actual 'house famine" exists. With
the acute shortage of buildings rents
have gone soaring. Many families are
forced to pay $40 to SIS per month for
one room shacks.
There are many building lots which
could have been bought two years ago
for $40 or $50 that now with the erec-
ton of q cheap building have a monthly
rental value of more than the original
purchase price.
The high rents will undoubtedly slim
ulate building and indications are that
the building season of 1908 will be the
greatest in the history of Gregory. The
demand is acute for at least one more
large hotel many business blocks and
innumerable new dwellings.
The city has recently been redistricted
so that hereafter there will be five
wards and a corresponding number of
councilmen, instead of three.

The decision is lengthy one and
goes into discuss what sort of Ian
guage is meant by the law covering
the question. In speaking of Hol-
combe's conduct the court says:
''It was not the ribaldry of some
low grade comedian in some second
class theatre, it was the indecent jest
of a minister Of the gospel made in a
house devoted to the service of God,
in the presence O. some three thous-
and worshippers, aimed at female
member of the congregation"
The case created big sensation in
Gainesville at the time. The offense
was committed by Holcombe in the
Tabernacle in that city.

Stray Shot Killed Negro Boy.

Iaurens, Oct. 2S.-Quite an unfor-
tunate accident, since accident it ap-
pears to have been from present re-
ports, occurred late yesterday after
noon in the western part of the city,
when Abe Shell, a little negro boy,
aged six was shot through the bowels
with either a pistol or rife, infict-
ing wound that proved fatal. The
boy was standing in the front yard
sof; his home near the power house
when he was hit. He at once went to
bed, where his mother coming in a
little later found him. She communi-
Gated with the police seeking medical
aid for her child which was secured.
It is reported that two or three young
white boys of the city were in the
copeland woods nearby shooting and
the supposition is that stray shot
from their guns or pistols struck the
negro boy.
8 After being shot the boy lived about
fifteen hours.

The Origin of Woman.

According to a Hindoo legend this
is the proper origin Of. woman:
Twashtri, the god Valcan of the Hin
doc mythology, created the world,
but on his commencing to create wo-
man, he discovered that for man he
had exhausted all his creative ma
terials, and that not one solid ele-
ment had been left. This, Of course,
greatly perplexed Twashtri, and caus-
ed him to fall into profound medi-
tation. When he aroused from 1t
he proceeded as follows. He took:
The roundness of the moon.
The undulating curve of the ser
pent.
The graceful twist of the creeping
plant.
The light shivering of the grass
blade and the slenderness of the will
low.
The velvet of the flowers.
The gentle gaze of the doe.
The frolicsomeness Of the dancing
sunbeam.
The tears of the cloud.
The inconsistency of the wind.
The vanity of the peacock.
The timidity of the hare.
The hardness of the diamond.
The cruelty of the tiger.
The chill of the snow.
The cackling of the parrot.
The cooling of the turtle dove.
All these he mixed together and
| formed a woman.
And he presented her to man.
