JIldt three COCKTAILS d udy WOulu plCl-
ty nearly upset any one III long per
iod of association with them. Mrs.
Gould is a woman with a purpose,
but it does not appeal to men or wom-
EN- of refined taste. She will not
long remain under the cover of her
Virginia farm. She will come out
again and shine And when she has
done so, how will it all profit her?
How much happiness will it bring?
How much rest for her pillow at
night? Poor, empty-headed sons and
daughters and wives and husbands OF
the rich!
Well anyhow, the Curtiss aero
planes were the first American pro-
duct of the flying machine to be put
on the market and advertised. 1t
seems odd that such thing could be
so at this early stage of the man
flying game. 1t was perfectly natural
that the Wrights should shrink from
this kind of publicity, yet when the
Wright brand comes out one will be
wanting that and nothing else as the
real standard make.
But even the Wrights have not yet
solved the greatest desideratum in the
flying machine. We all know that
man may now fly through the air
by an adaptation of the motor en-
CINE and the cloth planes in imita
ton of the wings But it must be in
very still atmosphere in order to re-
duce the chances of accident to the
minimum The one essential thing
now lacking is some sort of appliance
to give possible balance to the aero
plane encountering ordinary land
breezeS while in motion AS tickle
as the wind, is an old saw. as old as
Adam. and very true If there could
be some kind of device applied that
would give stability during high winds
to the Wright or any other kind OF
machine that flies, there would be a
greater measure of hope in sight for
mans complete mastery of the air
than is now apparent.
Perhaps that wonderful principle in
mechanics, the gyroscope, will solve
the riddle. To my mind 1t offers at
least the most feasible plan yet sug-
gested unless it be an underhanging
weight of some kind to force equili
brium The gyroscope does Won
derful thing when it can guide tor
pedO with unerrlng ann TO the hull
of an opposing battleship IN time OF
war. Will it be the means of guiding
man in his efforts to make a conquest
OF the air?
That very beautiful and fashionable
tropical plant, the croton, has at last
made an impression upon the park
commission of New York. In City
Hall Park there have been planted
two beds OF crotons on the south side
of the old Tweed Court House, and
hundreds Of passers-by stop daily and
wonder what manner of plant it Is.
Few people know of or value the
croton, the rarest and most expensive
OF the tropicals offered in this market
1t does not produce a flower, but is
valued for the exquisite richness of
! its foliage. which is of variagated col
ors ranging from dark brownish
greens to brilliant yellows, reds and

HUDSON SUFFERS
FROM ANOTHER
LEGENDARY FIRE
Second Fire in Elevator Caused
by Evident Attempt TO
Burn the Town.

Hudson, S. D., March 1.-THE seq
md elevator fire in six weeks occurred
Monday night at 7 o'clock, when the
Reliance elevator was foun to be on
fire. the fire bursting out through the
cupola a few moments after the fire
was discovered. That the fire was of
incendiary origin is certain, for the
smell of kerosene tainted the air the
minute the black cloud OF smsk burst
through the burning building. Six
weeks ago the first elevator in the row
OF five such structures burned. the fire
being discovered at about 8 o'clock In
the evening, and 1t was thought at the
time that this fire was Of incendiaryi
origin and the citizens Of Hudson are
certain now that it was, for beth fires
occurred when the wind was in the,
northeast, which would give the flames
q clear sweep along the whole row of
elevators, and it is the evident intention
of some one to wipe them all out
Quick, fearless work on the part of the
firemen saved the next elevator in the
row, the Tiedeman building. There
We're 5000 bushels OF corn and oats in
the burned elevator.

position and went from bad TO worse.
until three years ago he came here and
got work in one of the mills.
In the meantime, Mrs. Tasker's father
died and left his estate to his son and.
daughter. Since then the son has been
searching for his sister. She was found

UNIVERSITY FARES WELL
WITH LEGISLATURE

Vermillion, s.. D., March 17.-Faculty
nembers and students of the university
and the people of Clay county in gen
eral, feel perfectly satisfied over the
appropriations secured for the i%nstitu-
ton for the coming two years. The
general appropriation for salary and
running expenses amounts to $780, 900
less $1,000 for Improvement of the water
system, including a new tank. This
means about 500. 900 more thar was APP
~propriated two years ago.
In special appropriations the most
important n was $780, 900, for the new
central heating, light and power plant.
Another important item was the an
nual appropriation of $1,000 for the
maintenance of the u library, whereby
the state was able to accept Andrew
Carnegie's gift OF s40,0 600 for a new
library building.
Professor Perisho gets $4,000 for car
rying on the work OF the state
geological survey. and $1,000 was given
for a new meteorological laboratory.
These, together with the Improvement
of Science hall to the extent of SO. 1855,
sums up h moun the university re-
ceived from the legislature this year.

TORNADO KILLS NEGROES
IN GEORGIA; TOTAL LOSS
WILL REACH 500, 600

Cuthbert, Ga, March 12.-Half a doz-
en- negroes were killed here by the tor
nado last night and a dozen business
buildings were destroyed. The tornado
also damaged many other buildings.
Several white persons were injured, but
SO far as known none seriously.
A revival meeting was In progress.
The tornado passed some distance
from the church, whose occupants mis-
took the storms roar for thunder and
remained at the service throughout the
passage of the ""twister." Later many
worshipers went home under clearing
skies to find their homes or those of
their friends uninhabitable in some
cases, with here and there a, house.
pulled to pieces almost completely.
Most Of the destruction was confined
to the negro quarters. The total loss
will probably reach 100000.

MISSOURI CASE
DOES NOT BEAR
ON SOUTH DAKOTA
Attorney General Clarke Points
Out Local Features OF All
Rate Cases.

Redield. S. D., March 13.-"Ihe de-
cision by Judge Smith Mcpherson IN
the Missouri 2-cent fare case neither
decides the suits brought against Z
cent fare laws in other states of the
middle west nor creates a precedent
for them" declared Attorney General
s.. w. Clarke, of South Dakota. when
asked for q statement concerning the
decision against Missouri's reduced pas
senger rate.
1.-The 2-cent fare case is truly a local
issue,' he went on. 'Just as condi-
tons are alike in no two states, no
two cases involving the constitutional
.ity OF the 2-cent fare are alike.
TT is easily possible that a 2-cent
rate would not be sufficiently
alive in Missouri, but would be in South
Dakota. The mere fact that Missouri
has five or six times the population
Of South Dakota is not material. 1t is
quite possible that, In proportion to the
population, there Is a larger railroad
mileage in Missouri than in South Da-
kota. Again, it may be that a larger
amount of travelling is done by South
Dakota people. Again, 1T is probably
true that in Missouri, where there are
more railroads n therefore there is
more competition, it is necessary to rum
moro expensive trains. Furthermore, it
may be that, because of competition,
trains are run more frequently in Mis-
souri, than in South Dakota, in respect
TO the patronage. meaning larger pas
senger train loads in this state, and,
therefore, a lower proportion Of operat-
ing expenses. All these elements enter
into the question and SO 1t is that each
state must ia its own case adjudf-
Gated before 1t can know what rate its
people are entitled to nave.
One of the questions hat arises In
n consideration of the constitutional
ity of a 2-cent fare Is the allowance to
be made for interstate business. One
theory is that a passenger ticket from
Sioux City to Aberdeen should not be
taken into consideration, because the
trip Is begun six miles outside OF the
state. 1t is the claim Of the state, OF
course, that the South Dakota proper
ton of interstate business should be
included in the railroad income. 1T is
not clear to me from Judge McPher-
sons opinion, or the newspaper reports
OF 1t, just how he disposed of this ques-
ton. The courts have held both ways
on 1t.
I'VE are not a bit discouraged in our
case by the Mcpherson opinion. but we
viii press the states right to a 2-cent
fare Just as vigorously as ever before
Judge Garland. No new principle has
been laid down by Judge Mcpherson
and If he had found the rate valid, it
would have had no significance in South
Dakota"

to provide for the erection OF cnofci1
and school buildings at his own eS-
penSe, as we'll as for the pastors salary
for a number of ears
After the victim has been lured lhte
signing the contract and notes he finds
upon examination of his papers that all
the promises and Inducements that
were held out to him were oral, only.
and none appear in writing, and that
his written contract means notnlfs
whatever to him; he further hnds that
his note has either been sold to a con-
venient bank or to some Eastern
brokerage firm and in either case is in
the hands of IN innocent purchaser
Great excitement prevails here IN
connection with the swindle and a num-
Der of mass meetings have been held
with a view to devising some means
of running the swindler down. The
matter has now been placed in the
