TRAIN HELD FOR BRIDAL PAIR.
Theory That CorporationsHave No
Souls Denied by NewIyweds.

John Gilman and Dora Rose of
Stratford came to Aberdeen to get
married. They had procured a license
from the county clerk of Sphinx coun-
ty, but found it was not effective in
Aberdeen, which was in Brown u
ty.
They hurried to the court house and
procured another license, and then
sought a minister. By that time it was
ten minutes of train time and the par
sonage was ten blocks from the sta
tion-and Aberdeen has no street
cars. The pastor, before tying the
knot, called up the NJ. & ST. L. sta
ton and asked the agent to hold the
train till the young couple could get
there.
The request was complied with and
the train pulled out a half hour late,
but it carried Mr.. and Mrs. Gilman,
who declare that the statement that
corporations have no souls is erone-

straw, coal tar and other materials,
is IN Madison, and is closing a con
tract with a local stock company by
the terms OF which he will install ma

and tested In various by the
investigating committee, and has re-
ceived Endorsement.

The increase is accounted for by
two reasons; one the increase in popu-
lation and the other that the law is
being better observed in reporting
deaths to the department. The fig
ures do not show any material in
crease in the spread of tuberculosis,
but they DO not contain figures from
the Indian reservations, only deaths
in organized counties.

SHIPPING CATTLE TO RANGES.
s. D. Pastures, However, May Be
Opened to Settlement in Spring.

Stockmen report thas this has been
an exceptionally good winter for their
business. In spite of the probable
opening of their large pastures to
settlement next spring, the big cattle
companies in this vicinity will ship a
large amount of cattle this year. The
Indians own thousands of cattle on
the ranges near Wakpala, and the loss
for the winter among the Indian herds
is only fourteen.

compasses In Sleeping Rooms

1t is a curious fact that no japanese
ever sleeps with his head to the north.
The reason is that the dead in Japan
are always buried with their heads in
that direction. Consequently, in the
sleeping rooms of many of the private
houses of Japan, not to speak of the
hotels in larger cities, a diagram of the
points of the compass is consplcuously
posted on the ceiling for the informa-
tion of guests.

Some old croakers are claiming
that the closing OF the saloons was
caused by the preachers and n few
prohibition cranks. This is not true.
Neither is II true that the wet
ticket was elected because the pco-
pie were in favor OF saloons, We
know some pretty good prohibition
lists In this town that voted dry, and
for the wet ticket In Its entirety.
We don't know why they did It mot
for publication. but II Is neverthc-
less true tina, this paradox prevail
ed quite generally on election day.
Furthermore. II is not true. as has
been alleged. that the people voted
the wet ticket because they wanted
saloons. II would be very diff
cult matter to determine what a man
wanted when he voted for wet
council and dry town. but 1t is very
apparent that he got what he voted
for In both instances.
