AXE place at Flandreau during the

BOARD OF GIRLS
 HOME ISSUES CARD

The following card of explanation has been issued by the board of managers of the Girls home:
 To those who purchased during the last half of February and the first half of March tickets from Mrs. Maude Kmball to lecture to be delivered by Dr. H. w.. C'Tany'D Sears at Cable hall on the night of March 23, under the auspices of the Girls home, we offer a word of explana- ton. All arrangements for the lecture were to have been made by Mrs. Kimball and the home was to receive $l00. which it did in the form of checks made to It's order by the business men of the city. All checks in excess of sl00 were in- dorsed to Mrs. Klmball At a very late day we learned from the Rice Bureau of Nashville, Tenn, in whose interest Mrs Kimball was working, that the date of the lecture had been changed to March 24 After having been approached in regard to the matter Mrs. Kmball decided to have notice to that effect inserted in the papers, which she did on Saturday, March 20. This, of course, was not sufficient notice. On the morning of the 24th Mrs. Kimball, by appointment, was to have made final settlement, including some free

KILLED MAN WITH
 SLEDGE HAMMER
Jotn Williams Had Been In Mines Just One Week When He Con-
 mitted Murder.

Croner B. L. Brasher returned yes- teriay from Banner mines after holding anlinvestigation of the death of a ne- grf convict killed by another negro pris- onsr in the mines Friday morning. The cu'oner brought back with him Jim Will Hams, the negro charged with murdering tic other prisoner, and had him com
 htted to the county jail to be held with ott bail. Williams and the negro whom he killed. fl seems, had been at outs for several ays, and the alleged murderer told the croner that he killed the other negro bscause he had beat him with a pick hlndle. Friday morning, it is stated, the Hgro, who was a check runner, whipped Williams again. There was a 12-pound Hedge hammer lying near the two men !hd Williams picked it up and hit the fher negro on the head with it.
 llThe negros head was virtually knocked IT, being mashed beyond recognition.
 Ine dead negro was sent up from Chil- pn county some time ago. Williams was fnt up only last Saturday from the fnerson county criminal court, g. sen- fnce having been placed upon him for Healing a bicycle. He had been in the tines just one week when he killed his tllow convict.

will donations to the home which she re- ported she had collected; but our presi- dent, after communicating with the lady with whom she had been stopping was informed that Mrs. Kimball had left the city for New York Just why she left in this abrupt way, without complet- ing arrangements for the lecture and without communicating with some of the board of managers has not yet been ex- plained. There was nothing left for us to do but take charge of affairs on the eve of the lecture, which we did. Dr. Sears delivered his lecture on the night of the 24th to a small audience, the people having gathered, we learned, the night Of the 23d. Not being satisfied with the turn that matters had taken, Dr. Sears sug- gested that he return on Monday night March 29, and deliver his lecture-practi- cally donating his services We also think such a course is due the business men who purchased tickets.
 Dr. Sears Is an able speaker and we will guarantee every one who hears him will be highly pleased with what he has to say His lecture will be ''The Evils of Borrowing Trouble.' All who hold tick cts dated March 23 or "A will be admitted free of charge, and those who have mis- placed their tickets will be admitted by stating such fact at the door. Those who have not tickets and desire to hear Dr. Sears can secure tickets at Caple hall.

Charles Rees, general president, and T. J. Dolan, general secretary treasurer, of the International Brotherhood of Steam Shovel and Dredge Men, both of Chicago, lift for Florida last night after two days visit to Birmingham.
 While here they were quartered at the Hotel Hillman and the result of their trip was to place Local No. 23 on a firmer basis and the following officers were elected to start matters anew in the district: William M. Christian pres ident; Ivey O. Drewery, vice president; John H. Ward secretary treasurer, and Harry J. Smiles. A. E. Black and T. A. Morrow, trustees

ADJUSTMENTS
An Added Attraction.

Manager Gould of the Majestic the- atre has added the Ellery- -Rainford company in a civil war drama, The Army Nurse" to this weeks bill to further strengthen it. This act makes the bill one of the strongest of the season. A recent criticism of the act says: The Arthur Ellery and Marie Rainford company in The Army Nurse" civil war love story of mingled pathos and humor, made a delightful impression. Arthur Ellery with re- markable consecutiveness and clever ness enacts three roles in the captivat- ing sketch, first, the wounded south erner Captain Jack Warren, then the stern and uncompromising northern general Baliinger, and finally the love- making lieutenant. As Bertha Ealing CT, the northern army nurse who lets her love for the Confederate captain put Lieutenant Biffkins on the blink. Marie Rainford is so very viyacious that her treachery is overlooked in her ardent efforts to see her wounded southern suitor safe through the Union lines.

 The balloons will go up during the after noon and will race across the city, pass ing over the skyscrapers, and performing stunts in the air to the marvel of the many visitors of the day.
 A man and woman will make the ascen- sions, probably in Capitol park at some time in the afternoon, when there is a lapse in the round of the days doings. But there will be few such intermissons, for every moment is full of something.

FINDS CHICKEN THIEVES.
Walter Going Shoots and Is Shot at
 During Night.

Walter Going had an exciting experi- ence last night with chicken thieves at his residence, 1125 Louise avenue noise in the direction of his chicken house caused MT. Going to investigate, which resulted in his finding the thieves in the act of removing his hens from their roost. The would-be robbers broke into a run when they found they were discovered, and MT. Going shot at them three times. One of the thieves stopped for moment and shot at MT. Going. but the bullet went wild of it's mark as did MT. Going's.
 In their haste 10 get away the thieves forgot to take large sack which upon investigation was found to contain 29 hens which it was later found had been stolen from neighbor of the Goings.
 MT Going is pretty certain that the rob bers were negroes, though he did not suc- ceed in getting close enough to them to tell positively.

VARIANT FAVORS SKYSCRAPER FOR RELIEF OF COURTS Something Must Be Bone Soon and It Should Be No
 MakeShift
COUNTY OFFICIALS ILL
 BADLY IN NEED OF ROOM
Remodeling of Basement Was Ex- pected to Give Relief, But Even That Part of Building Is
 Already Crowded.

The erection of a 10 or History building on the present site of the county jail appears to be the favorite plan of remedying the cro ed condi- tion of the county courts. The proposi- tion is generally considered practica- ble and seems to be meeting with favor wherever talked.
 George B. Tarrant, county tax col lector, said yesterday afternoon:
 If it becomes a necessity the pres ent courthouse may hold out for year or two longer, but conditions are no " so crowded that the immense volume of wors that has to be done s greatly impeded. The matter of an addition to the present building would be only a makeshift as was the case with the overhauling of the basement, which is now already crowded. l am very much in favor of the erection of 10 or 12- story building on the jail site, and am partial to the idea of having the jail on the top floors. In having the jail on the upper floors the prisoners need never be allowed to go to the windows where they could be seen from the street This arrangement would prevent annoyance to the citizens in the neighbour ood of the courthouse because man might scream at the top of his voice on the tenth floor of a building and he would never be heard on the street. The remaining eight or nine floors of such a building. would give ample room for all the county judicial and executive officers.
 There is just this about 1t, that the business of the county is ever increas- ing and new offices are being created every year. new building will have to be put up in the course of a com paratively short time and for the com fort of the public as well as the con- venience of the county officers the new building should be erected. A 10-story building on the jail lot, which is LOOK 200 feet, would be the founda tion for courthouse for generations to come."

LESS MEAT, Advice of Family Physician.

Formerly people thought meat neces- sary for strength and muscular vigor.
 The man who worked hard was sup posed to require meat two or three times a day. Science has found out differently.
 It is now a common thing for the family physician to order less meat, as in the following letter from N. Y. man:
 q had suffered for years with dyspepsia and nervousness. My physician advised me to eat less meat and greasy foods generally. I tried several things to take the place of my usual breakfast of chops. fried potatoes, etc. but got no relief until I tried Grape-Nuts food.
 After using Grape Nuts for the cereal part of my meals for two years. I am now a well man. GrapeNuts benefited my health far more than the $500 worth of medicine I had taken before.
 My wife and children are healthier than they had been for years, and we are a very happy family, largely due to Grape-Nuts.
 ''We have been so much benefited by Grape-Nuts that 1t would be ungrateful not to acknowledge it."

chinamen Found In Box Car.

Abileen, Tex, March 27.-Attracted by the sound of voices in a box car, which, supposedly, contained only a shipment of beans en route from Los Angeles to Chicago, Immigration Agent Dilworth, at Big Springs, had the car opened and took into custody 16 China men, who are held on charge of hav- ing violated the immigration laws. The men were brought before United States Commissioner Garland today, but as none of the party could speak English their hearing was deferred until the arrival of an interpreter.
