NO DRINKING ON TRAINS
Les.s!a!.rc Passed Il Law That Ough
20 END the Drinking OF Liquor
on Trains.
In every passenger coach of {

In every passenger coach of every
passenger train in this state has just
been hung this notice, although not
i'll type of small proportions:
Drinking intoxicating Liquors
upon this Train is Prohibited by
Law"
This is the result Of a law adopted
by the state legislature and which
received the approval of Governor
Wesley, and will be endorsed by
nine-tenths of the travelling public.
Fol a number of years the drinking
of liquors on the railroad trains of
this state has been carried on to the
disgust and Outlines discomfort of
the passengers. Fights have resulted
from an overload Of booze and in
some instances serious trouble has
taken place. The question is will the
conductors OF the passenger trains
try to enforce the law. They L en-
powered and are required to arrest
any person who violates the law and
turn them over to the constable at
the first station the train reaches.
With this law enforced travelling in
this state will not be made SO un-
pleasant at times.
The following is the law:
Section L. Any person who shall
drink any intoxicating liquor pub
licly as a beverage upon any train
carrying passengers, except in buffet
or dining cars, or who shall be intoX-
icated upon any such train operated
upon any railroad in the State of
South Dakota, shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor, and upon convict
ion thereof, shall be fined in any sum
not exceeding fifty dollars, or by
Imprisonment not exceeding thirty
days, or both such fine and imprisou-
ment
Section 9. Police power is
hereby conferred upon every
conductor of a railroad com
I pany engaged in operating train!

ia. and it shall be the duty of every
conductor, while upon duty upon an.
train or car used for the conveyance
of passengers, to arrest every per
son who shall in their presence or tt
their knowledge violate the provis
ions of Section l of this Act, and t,
deliver him or them to a policeman
constable, or other public officer a
any station where such officer may b
found, and it shall be the duty o
such officer to make a complain
against such person and an informa
ton made upon information and be
lief of said officer, shall be sufficient
Section 8. That any justice of tn
} peace in any county through whic

cause of this Sheriff Morrison when
he went to make the arrest took a
special duty with him but the ar
rest was made without resistance on
the part Of the accused farmer. The
defendant is fifty-eight years of age.
He will be tried at the next term Of
the state circuit court and as it is
almost certain that he will be unable
to secure bond he will be compelled
to remain in the county Jail until
his trial takes place.

Deafness Cannot lie Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ar. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutions
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamad condition of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness Is the result, and unless the in
Jaammation cal be taken out and this
tuba restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh. which is nothing but an in

HOW TO USE ROAD DRAG
This Cheap instrument Can be IT'LL

j. d. Stevenson in the Sioux City
Journal gives some interesting in
formation about the use of the road
drag, and how successful it is in
is presented to our readers in the
hope that it will be acted upon, and
doubtless the same good results will
accrue in this vicinity, where there
seems to be plenty of DON for i'm
provement:
For months l have used a split
log drag made from an ash pole ten
inches in diameter and shod in front
with a strip of steel four inches wide,

twenty to thirty inches above the

road vas lowered in the center; in
fact, there were bitches twenty-four
inches deep on some of the clay hills
where the water had followed The
wheel tracks.
This road is all clay hills. and
clay that holds water like a Jug.

until the neighbors complain that it

ran the drag over it, throwing he
dirt out in order to lower and widen
the crown.
This road has not been touched
with anything but a King drag. a
pillow and what they call my A" or
plank ditcher. Several Of my neigh
bors have done as we'll and made a
good grade over even worse ground.
On good lying ground, where there is
black soil instead of clay to Move, it

all the dirt from the sides at one
time.
THAT is why the King drag makes
the best dirt road drag that can pos
sibly be constructed, because by
dragging after each wet spell a little
dirt is put in at a time and the road
gradually built up. all ruts kept fill

is no place for water 20 lodge when

tending . Picnic Gathering.
We have received a clipping from
q Los Angeles. Cal, paper announc-
ing the sudden death of George Mas
on. which came about just as ne fin
tshed delivering a speech at a picnic
near Los Angeles, Cal. Mr.. Mason
and was the father of Wayne Mason,
who is we'll known in Mitchell. The
deceased nan left Plankinton some
Is years ago. The Los Angeles pa
per has the following to say of the
unfortunate incident.
But a few minutes after he had
finished making a speech to the
observation-disclosures Society at
Eastlake Park yesterday afternoon,
George Mason, banker and capitalist
fell fainting and in a moment was
dead,
His dramatic passing occurred at
the fifth annual gathering of the
Va "A AlllaGl ldu UCGu GI-
joyed at the picnic tables by about
seventy-tiye members of the organi-
zation. Mr.. MASON rose to speak and,
referring to u. w. Hoag of Long
Beach, for two years president of
that body, said:
MIR. Hoag was recalled as Coun-
Gilman fhara in Iopu poacb l,,+ ,o
don't propose to recall him here.
Mr.. Mason started to put the ques-
ton of re-electing Hoag as president
when Mr.. Hoag, who. with Others
had been quietly working for the ell
ection of Mr.. Mason to the presidency
rose to speak.
MIR. Mason he said, I'VE haven't
come to the election of officers yet.
We will come to that soon. | thank
you for your report in the recall mat
ter"
Scarcely had President Hoag fin
ished speaking when he noticed that
Mr.. Mason was throwing up his
hands and that his face was sudden
ly darkening. Hurried efforts to APP
ply restorative were put forth but
within a minute or two Mr.. Mason
had expired.
George Mason was president of the
Central National Bank, having taken
that position upon the retirement
OF William Mead, two years ago, and
was n of the principal stockholders
In that institution. He was a mem
Der of the Police Commission under
Mayor McAleer, and has extensive
business interests that have made
him one Of the best known men in
the city.
He was the owner of the Mason
building, Fourth and Broadway,
which for many years prior to its re-
construction was occupied by the
Chamber of Commerce. He had ex-
tensive property holdings in the city
and in other states, having valuable
interests in Kansas, City. acquired

HOW ABOUT YOUR GARDEN,

A little garden we'll titled will knock a
hole in the dividends of the beef trust
and several other trusts that handle
the food products of the country. Every
thing to eat is high priced, and has
been so for some time.
Every man who has patch of ground
10 feet square ought to raise something
to eat on it this spring and summer.
No one who has not tried it knows how
much can be produced on a little patch.

ABOUT NARY M.CANN.

Remember how brave Kate Shelly
crawled across bridge In Iowa sew
oral years ago and saved the North
western limited?
Her heroism has been celebrated I,
song and story.
A ut companion piece to that heroI
deed. heroicaIly done, is the story OF
the rescue OF nine children by Mar,
Mccain, recently awarded a medal BY
congress.
III was five years ago. and Mary was
then but fourteen years OF age.
She sat In her invaiid's chair that
day on the veranda of a cottage ON
North Brother island convalescine
from an attack OF scarlet fever.
Listiessly the girl watched an ex-
cursion steamer loaded to the guards
with Sunday school children, colors
nyng and band playing, as 1t cut the
blue waters.
Aad then came an awful explosion.
Fire and flame seemed to burst from
every part Of the big boat. And then
clouds or smoke enshrouded the scene.
The Fearful cries OF women and chill.
dren arose. The boat was turned and
beached on the sands far out from the
shore.
A crowd gathered, and a few boats
put on to the rescue. People on shore
wrung their hands as they saw women
ana children drown before their eyes.
And Mary Mccain, invalid?
Why, the physicians had said that In
her weakened condition she must be
kept very quiet
And this was the answer Of the lit.

mature and lacking IN real depth and
power-mere sentlment-while the next
love or the next may be fervent and
abiding.
Another OF these false proverbs Is:
Love is blind"
Love Is not blind. II IS wide awake
and alert to see. Above all things. true
love is insight. II sees the real. IL
does not Judge by exteriors. Where
others see only deformity or weakness
the keen insight OF love will detect
both strength and beauty. Many OF us
would go through the world unloved
and our capacities would be unknown
did not the keen eyes OF love detect
and reveal our virtues.
Another false saying:
''True love never did run smooth"
AS q matter OF fact. IL usually does
run smooth Why not? 1t Is not dan
gerous. like false love. Love calls for
adjustment. IL concerns two persons.
1t must overcome difficulties inherent
I'm finite people. 1t Is mostly In ro-
mances that true love gets into deep
difficulties. True love may or may not
run smooth; false love seldom or never
does.
And still another popular fallacy is
contained In the saying:
True love can never die
1t can die. 1t does die-daiIy 1t can
be killed 1t need not be murdered
outright either: 1t can be killed by
neglect. III love Is not fostercd and
fed 1t will die of starvation. Love like
everything else. lives and grows and
thrives by what It feeds on. False
love cannot live; II must die sooner or
later. True love may die.
Love has been greatly slandered

KILLING A MOTHER.

The state OF New York killed MARY
Farmer, wife and mother, last month.
IL was sickening story. They hnr
messed the woman In chair, having
shaved her head, and the executioner
described an arc with a lever, sending
the deadly current into her convulsed
frame
And then
After examination they found that
Mrs Farmer still had a spark OF the
life that God had given her, and-arain
the electricity.
Warden Bonham telegraphed the
governor following the execution:
There were no distressing Incl
dents"
In the estimation OF the calIoused
warden the killing had been done with
neatness and dispatch.
No distressing incidents2
was IL no distressing incident that a
wife was being killed by the state
while her husband prayed In his cell:
mat a baby boy should be made an
orphan: that every woman In the
land should be shocked at the dIshonor
done her sex; that society should be
brutalized by the spectacle. Thar the
dial OF civilization should be moved
backward?
NO distressing Incidents?
Why, the whole life OF Mary Farne,
was distressing incident
She was n poor Ignorant woman
who never had n chance.
Both heredity and environment com.
oined To make her what she was. Her
surroundings had calloused her heart
and stunted her mind.
3 Society made her what she was and
then Killed her for being what she was
ana doing what she did,
Is that too strong?
but can you expect anything but
ce%radation and disease and crime
from the Mary Farmers whom society
leeds with the measly crumbs thrown
from Its Sumptuous tables?
Mary Farmer went TO her own place
the place the world made for her.
Under provocatiop she did Just what
might have been expected OF her.
40 say this is not to condone her
crime, but-the pity of it,
When the history OF our times "a
read by the people OF 20Oq they Will be
Mortified TO learn that commemorative
lonciaily killed ignorant and erring wo-
men
without distressing Incidents"

OUR FAT PRESIDENT.

When "Big Bill" Taft went to bat on
March 4 the fat man got his innings
Since the days of Falstaff the pudgy
figure of the man of adipose has stood
for sleek good nature. bland tempera-
ment. unctuous speech and slow loco
motion.
But our 800 FOUNDER of president Is
not slow.
II is undeniable that he waddles IN
his walk like a duck. though the Taft
waddle Is not MS well known as the
Taft smile-because Big Bill usually
rides In a carriage.
But he Is not slothful.
He IS stout without being obese. be
is portly without being pursy, and he
is anything but lazy. He Is neither
slow on his feet nor sluggish In his
mind.
Taft can do days work along with
any lean and hungry Cassius.
He has suave smile, but-he saws
wood. Just because be doesn't wrin-
-kle his brow and enshroud his soul In
gloom Is no sign the man Is lacking In
will power or able decision.

that smile
For behind the glossy and jellied sur.
face Of the mans exterior, over which
no wave of trouble seems to roll: be-
hind the easy laugh and the hearty
manner, behind the sleek badges of
good fellowship. is q sense Of Justice
as keen as an edged tool, an incisive
Judgment, an obstinacy that is like
n stone wall.
Resides
Taft has what Theodore Roosevelt
lacked-diplomacy.
All fat men are diplomats.
Taft knows how to handle men SO
as to get things done, which is a rare
trait.
He has proved that faculty, whether
1t has been In an interview with boio-
man or South American minister Of
state, whether he has matched his
wits with n smooth contractor or the
emperor Of Japan He knows how to
get results.

That remains to be seen. But. how
ever that may be, with the coming Of
