THE
TkYANT
is DEAD
(By wiley Norris.)

~ WA@Ns +t~AAA@ft
Rome, Sept. 20. A. D. '"S-(via
Western Press )-After having con
centrated in fourteen brief years Of
rulership the crimes and dissipations
of whole lifetime, the tyrant, Nero.
is dead. Too cowardly to face Otho,
whom ne had wronged, and Governor
Galba of Spain, whose armies would
probably have wiped up the face Of
the earth with him anyway, the actor
poet-buffoon-emperor mad to the home
Of MIR. Phaon, a freedman, four miles
northeast of this city, and tonight
killed himself. Detans as to the ex-
act method Of his departure for the
black regions are at this time diff
cult to obtain, because Of the great
confusion everywhere. Thousands
hail the death ofthe matricide. fratri-
eide and various other kinds of eide"
with unconcealed delight.
There was a time when the red
headed ruler Of the Romans was re-
spected, and even beloved. But that
was during the first five years Of his
reign, when he really succeeded in be-
ing decent-at least to the public.
However, the open grog shop, the har-
EN- scheme and the accession of un-
limited wealth and power, combined
with natural desire to run every
thing and everybody, gradually made
of him a tyrant. After he had put to
death his mother, brother and few
other relatives, including couple of
wives, he became thoroughly hard
ened, and then it was that he con-
ceived the heinous crime of burning
Rome In order that he might compose
an epic song on its destruction Fol
lowing this catastrophe, and in order
to show just how cruel he could be,
he blamed the Christians for his own
offense against humanity, and thou
sands of the lowly followers of the
Nazarene were tortured and put ia
death by the torch, in order that the
brave emperor might have that amuse
ment which his fiendish being crayed
AS is usually the case with all politi
clans and other scoundrels. he overdid
himself, and after while the people
of Rome began to awaken to the enor
nifty of his crimes. Then there was
a revolution of sentiment, and the
tyrant was marked for the double
cross in short order. After he mur
dered Poppaca his finish got closer
at hand He kept going bad to worse
until Ohio compelled him to hunt the
suburbs and there enc mis- miserable
life.
There is but little sympathy ex
pressed for Nero here, and It is doubt
ful whether there will be enough peo
pie at the funeral tomorrow to acf
as pallbearers. 1t is certain that there
will be no one to preach the funera
grafton.

BOUT A DRAW
Contest of Local Interest to
South Dakota SpOrtSmen

South Dakota sports were espec-
tally interested in the ten round bout
between Battling Nelson and Jimmie
Britt, which took place in Los Angel
es Tuesday night, because Nelson
was former Huron boy. The fight
was draw and it is probable that
another match will be arranged.
Both men were in good condition and
weighed l35 pound.
Britt and Nelson have had three
contests, the first on December 20,
1904, when Britt was given the de-
cision after a twenty round go, be-
cause he was declared by the referee
to be more scientific than Nelson.
The decision, however, was far from
being satisfactory to the great crowd
that witnessed the contest.
The next time these two men got
together was in San Francisco, Sep
tember 8, 1905, scheduled for a four
ty-five round battle. In this fight
Nelson showed wonderful endurance,
and took the severest sort of punish
ment without the least indications of
fatigue. Britt succeeded IN landing
a greater number of blows, but they
had little effect upon the Dane. In
the third round Britt knocked Mel
son down, but he came to his feet
before the referee had counted two
and continued to force the fight. In
the fourteenth round Britt practic-
ally gave out and was put out in the
eighteenth round, the decision being
accorded Nelson.
Battling Nelson began his career
as a pugilist when Ia years of age md
has since that time won a number of
decisive battles and stacked up many
thou ,ands of dollars. Out of his

Bat" is not sporting man in the
usual sense of that term. He does
not dissipate nor squander his money
foolishly.
While living here he was employed
by Edler Bros. in their meat market
and did odd jobs about town as oc'
casion presented. He was member

FOR
READING ROOM
Tabernacle Meetings Closed Sum
day-PurSe of $3.50 For
Johnson
BY REV. C. II. CRUDE

On Sunday evening the number of
decisions and renewals reached the
number of 400. We had hoped to
have given the representation from
various parts of the county but this
will be impossible as no acurate re-
cord was kept. The number uniting
with the church will come in later.
The expense account will be about
TOO. This has all been provided for.
A purse was given Mr. Johnson and
also Mr. Forsythe. The big choir
gave Mr. Forsythe solid gold ring
made of Black Hills and Mrs For
sythe a barette for the hair. They
gave Miss Dawson, the faithful and
efficient pianist, a handsome bon bon
dish.
The pastors of the town gave the
following expressions Of their esti-
mate of the work done:
Whereas. Evangelist Rev. Robt.
f. Johnson has labored in our town
of Miller, So. Dak., for the space of
five weeks and our joint labors under
his leadership have resulted not only
in quickening the churches of our
town and county, but also in the con-
version and renewal of 400 souls.
Therefore, we heartily commend
him as an evangelist, sound in doc
trine, mighty in the word of God,
and deeply spiritual and thorough in
his work.
We also commend his excellent
wife laboring with him as an effect
i've worker for God.
We also wish to add that both the
choir and solo work of Mr. +. j. For
svthe,. associated with Mr. Johnson
in this work here, has been highly
appreciated by all. This expression
was approved by the audience by a
standing vote.
The big tabernacle will be sold at
once, as several parties are negotiat-
ing for the lumber. In any case it
will come down in a short time. The
meetings have been abundantly sue
cessful and all who contributed in
any way to the outcome will feel
much gratified to have had a small
part in such a far reaching move
ment. During the service Sunday
night Mr. Johnson raised 81, 900 for a
Reading room in Miller for boys and
men. This project will be organized
within a few days.
