DEATH IN THE DUST.
Many Who Are Constantly Exposed
to Ii Die of Tuberculosis.

Twenty five per cent of the deaths
of persons whose occupations expose
them to street dust are due to tu-
berculosis. dust being one of the
chief contributing causes of that dis
ease, according to a bulletin of the
Bureau of Labor
According to Prof WinslOw of the
Institute of Technology, the most
dangerous thing in large factories is
dust from the flax, cotton, emery
and glass. Dust, he says, is one OF
the greatest foes OF health.
In the bulletin referred to. F.
l.. Hoffman notes that in the oc-
cupation of stOnecutting, the death
rate from consumption is al to t1e
one thousand, while among farm la
borers it is only 1.12, and among
lumbermen and raftmen only 1.07.

York City, it has been stated five

the difference in the fact that abroad,
the streets are well sprinkled before
being swept, while here they are al
most invariably swept while in a dry
state, thus giving the dust a chance
to be inhaled into the lungs.
If dust of whatever sort is so fatal
to those who work in it. it must be
equally so to those who cannot es-
cape it, whittier walking or riding
abroad or quietly Sitting in room
into which the dust from the street
finds entrance The dust is laden
with disease germs, no matter from
whence it comes, and when people
begin to understand this more
thoroughly, they will exercise more
caution in dealing with the dust
problem. If the streets were kept
clean there would be less danger
from the flying clouds of dust that
settle upon everything in the way
In carpet sweeping there are mod
ern Improvements that do away with
the old plan of beating that sent the
germs flying in every direction In
house sweeping the need Of liberal
sprinkling beforehand is becoming
better understood, and in busting
furniture, the dampened cloth is
used by careful hOusekeepers in lieu
of the feather buster, rather more
than formerly. With paved streets,
OF course the dust is easier 10 deal
with, but in the meantime the by
gienic Importance of sprinkling and
of avoiding as much as possible the
inhalation of dust particles should
not be lost sight of.-San Antonio

LAUNCH WRECKED
ON PADRE ISLAND.
Found Refuge in Mayor Pat Dunn's
Home, and Finally Reached Rock
port in His Skiff.

The story of a shipwreck on Pa
Dire Islands coast, in which two men
were thrown on the shore and were
saved from hunger's pangs by giving
the ranch home of Col. Pat Dunn,
the mayor of Padre Island" a sur
prise party, is reported in Tuesdays
Corpus Christi Herald as follows:
Col. Pat Dunn received a tele-
phone message last night from Rock
port, from Mr.. BIoodworth, of
Brownsville stating that he and his
companion from Point Isabel, had
been wrecked thirty-five miles down
on Padre Island and had broken into
Mr.. Dunn's ranch house and relieved
their hunger and cold, leaving a dol
lar on the table
The absent host assured the men
that they were welcome to every
thing and that he was glad they had
helped themselves.
The men left the jetties at Tar
pom, Friday night, at 9 O'Clock in
3S-foOt launch with a 25-horse power
engine, and the gasoline became
mixed with water and the boat be-
came unmanageable and it was
beached
They took Mr. Dunn's skiff and
went to Ed Grants place on Mus
tang Island, coming through Corpus
pass, and were taken by wagon to
TarpOn and caught a boat for Rock
port.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE AND SALOONS

Arlington Sun: Hot coffee and
sandwiches will be served at the ne Xt
general state election. The legisla-
tnre has voted to place the question
OF woman suffrage before the people
at that time. Those Of the fair sex
who are interested in politics will
now begin to get busy. 1t is an open
secret that the majority of women
who desire the franchise are anxious
for it because they wish to have a
vote on the saloon question. The
most determined opposition to woman
suffrage will come from those who
fear their vote upon this matter. The
state will be divided upon the tenn
perance question, with equal suffrage
and county option as the rallying
grounds. Both questions will be de-
cideG by the men at the next election
If the women succeed in securing the
franchise it Will not matter much
whether county option carries OF not ),
for the feminine vote will make the
saloon business pretty hard shedding
in South Dakota anyway, and if coun-
ty option carries it viii not be 50
much of a blow to the women whether
they achieve the franchise or not, for
the saloon business will then be
pretty well shut out without them. In
order to maintain the liquor business
in safety it will be necessary to de-
feat both measures, and there is going
to be about the hardest fought battle
ever waged in this state over these
two questions.

GET BEHIND 1T.

Many good city isn't worth q cent
because the local newspaper is neg
lected. Many a good merchandising
center is dead because the men in
business treat editors OF the newspa-
pers as an object Of charity. This is
all wrong. The local paper is the
greatest thing in any community. 1t
should be supported. 1t should be
read and patronized. The merchants
who think they are clever and smart
when they slip one over on the local
paper make n big mistake Every
dollar you take away from the local
newspaper in schemes and knocks
hurts the town. Ii hurts business,
and, most of all, it hurts the mer-
chants who indulges in it.
writerupo this subject has said:
wv hatever else you merchants do,
patronize yonr home paper. Don't
as many people with less expense us
ing circulars, Don't spring any of
those time worn gags Oh me at all.
Stop standing in your own light. Get
behind the local paper and push it for
all you are worth. don t mean push
it to the wall. Push it up grade to
position where it ought to be, and as
sure AS you are alive you will push
your own business up with it to Il
point you neXer dreamed of before.
When man tells me that he reach
es more people and gets better results
from his circulars know that he is
deceiving himself aud telling me
what | can prove to be untrue A
newspaper in the community is read
by the people. They learn to watch
tor it, and when they get it every
member of the family wants his turn
to see what it says. Ads. and all are
read. If the merchants of commun-
ity will educate the people to look in
the newspapers for their announce
ments the people will read the paper
more and greater will be the returns.
There is no alley so long but thai
has it's osh barrels, and there is no
knock so powerful or subtle but that
it reacts. Do yourself a favor and
keep up your end by supporting the
local newspaper, and support it for
all you are worth.

ESTATE is SETTLED.

A case of more than passing i'm
portance to attorneys and litigants in
county and circuit courts through out
the state, has just been decided by
Judge George NJ. Marquis Of the third
judicial circuit Mortimer Hunt of
Deuel. county, in making his will.
failed to provide for three sons of a
deceased daughter. Following Mr..
Hunts death the will was probated
and the bequests distributed accord
ing to the provisions of the will. The
sons of the deceased daughter were
miners at the time Of making of the
will and not residents of South Dako-
! ia and when it was probated they
were given 40 notice of the proceed
ings and were entirely ignored. Suit
was therefore brought by tlpem to re-
cover All undivided one-ninth inter
est III the estate, on the ground that
the failure to provide for them in the
will was not intentional on the part
of Mortimer liant, testator, and not
having been served with notice OF
proceedings i'll probate, were given no
opportunity to protect their interests !.
Judge Marquis decided in favor OF.
the three sons Of the deceased daugh-
ter of Mortimer Hunt and redictri-
ution Of the estate will probably be
made whereby they will receive the
same interest as the other heirs, in
valuable lands in Deuel. and Hyde
counties. The case has attracted at
tention for the reason that it is the
first of its kind brought to the atten-
tiOn of the courts Of South Dakota.

EAST NOW KNOWS US.

1t has taken several years to take
the root out of the bad impression so
deeply fixed in the minds of the peo-
pie in the East relative to the desir-
ability of South Dakota farm lands.
Those who have (wlsely) invested in
South Dakota s dirt and become her
citizens have found conditions such
back east; the tendency, if any. being
to go still farther west.
Real estate dealers predict a very
large and increasing sale of land tho
coming season, basing their predic-
tions on the unusual number OF in
quiries received from people in the
