DELICIOUS SUMMER SALADS.
How 10 make Attractive Dishes With
Vegetables and Fruits.

How TO Make Attractive Dishes With
Vegetables and Fruits.
How to prepare a pretty summer
salad is thus told by Caroline French
Benton in the June Delineator: Select
some green peppers and open them at
the top and take out the seeds Make
each one stand on lettuce leaf cut
ting tiny bit off the bottoms if neces-
sary. Then prepare some small cooked
green string beans, the smaller the bet
ter, by mixing them with French dress
ing. Fill the peppers with these and
on top of each one put little ball of
cream cheese. The combination is
quite unusual in flavor and very good.
Fruit salads are the daintiest and most
refreshing of all we have in summer,
and they are almost no trouble to
make. Several kinds of fruit should
not be put together as usual thing,
however, for that is apt to make
messy dish. One or two kinds mixed,
or one alone, is quite enough. Then,
too, it should be remembered that
mayonnaise rarely combines with
fruits. There is one exception at least,
for pineapple is particularly good with
it, but with most other fruits French
dressing should be used, and this
should have little vinegar in it. Lemon
juice Is much better.
Strawberry salad is made by arrang-
ing for each person six or more very
large, fine berries in cup shaped let
tuce leaf. These are laid on platter.
and French dressing is put on last.
Like all salads. to be good this must be
cold.
Cherry salad is made with either
California cherries or the large OK
hearts. and both red and white ones
are used, or the two are prettily mixed
The cherries are stoned without break
ing them, and in place Of each pit bit
Of nut is pressed in, or small hazel
nut is put in entire. They are laid on
lettuce, and French dressing is poured
over This is rather an elaborate dish
when finished, but simple enough to
make If one has time and is willing to
take the trouble to put it together.

REMAINS IN SCHOOL
WITH DANGEROUS WOUND

Scotland, s. D., Dec. 6.-To remain
In school all day with his abdomen
penetrated to such an extent that the
intestines were exposed, and never
complaining vas the experience Of a
little 4-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chris Moser, who live on a farm south
Of Scotland. The little fellow attends
a country school. He was carrying q
bottle of coffee and fell, breaking the
bottle, and a piece of the jagged glass,
unknown to his older brother, who was
with him, and to the teacher and pupils
of the school, had penetrated through
his clothing, entered his abdomen and
exposed the intestines. Not knowing
how bad the brave little fellow was in
tured he was kept at school all day.
When he returned home in the evening
his parents soon discovered the serious
ness of his INJURY and a physician was
summoned to the scene without delay.
1t was found necessary to give the lit
tie boy an anesthetic in order II care
for n sew up the wound. He is now
recovering nicely from his unusual in
jury.

DISCRIMINATION
GETS HARD BLOW
THROUGH COURTS
Far Reaching Decision Affects
Pools, Out Rates and Other
Combinations.

Pierre, s. D., Dec. 4.-The decision Of
the supreme court sustaining the con-
s~titutionality Of the anti-discrimination
law passed by the legislature OF 1907,
as affecting the Central Lumber COM
pany, an outside corporation doing busi-
ness in the state. will result In tho
probing of other corporations OF SIM
liar character. Under the provisions OF
the law the Central Lumber company
!s liable to a heavy fine and can also
be barred from continuing In business
within the state. The case came up
from Sphinx county and q cas- Of the
same nature is still pending against the
Williams Lumber company, which for
merly had its hea dquarters at Webster,
and in which David Williams, formerly
Of Webster, but now of Duluth, was
one of the officers.
The passage Of the law was the re-
suit Of investigation into the alleged
pooling Of interests between corpora-
lions doing a lumber business, h in
vestigation tending to show that indie
pendent companies were menaced by
rival yards where prices were cut be-
low a profitable rate in order to crush
the independent concern, while the
prices were boosted at some non-com-
petitive point to make up the loss, also
that corporation owned yards were
grouped together and the profits shared
regardless of the cut prices made at a
competitive point.

NORTHWESTERN sWITcHMEN
NOT ENGAGED IN STRIk,

Huron, s. d., Dec. 7.--Oficials of the
Chicago G. Northwestern railway here,
and others in position to know, declare
there is no probability OF the switchmen
on the Chicago & Northwestern system
in South Dakota joining the strikers.
The report h a they would do SO is
wholly without foundation. Freight and
passenger traffic continues without in
t~erruption, and officials of the company
anticipate nc trouble. While the switch
men in the employ of the Northwestern
system in the city are union men. they
are not likely to Join the strikers. The
limited supply of WOOD and coal at
distributing points causes some anxiety
but dealers n railway officials are
confident that a fuel famine will not
result. The supply is light. but enough
is on hand for all to have a limited
amount, and more Is arriving daily. A
snowstorm, which set in yesterday,
caused some uneasiness lest the supply
Of fuel should be exhausted. Dealers
however, declare that no serious re-
suits will follow.

SOCIALISM A FACTOR
IN HOMESTAKE STRIKE

Lead, 8. D., Dec. 4.-With the pres
ence Of many Pink erton detectives
scattered about the Homestake prop
critics, in addition to the numerous en-
ployes of the company who have been
specially deputized by the sheriff, abso-
lue quiet prevail. The Homestake
company announced that 1t brought the
Pinkertons in only to protect its prop
erty and not to use as spies, and that
they would confine their attentions
strictly to the property and would not
be about the streets. The lines are
strictly drawn and no one not having
business ABOUT the property is permit
ted around.
The question at issue between the
Homestake company n the unions is
fast developing into a well defined
struggle between socialism n those
policies that oppose 1t. Lead has long
been recognized as the stronghold of
socialism In South Dakota, and until
this trouble of the Homestake's no Or
ganized effort to oppose 1t has ever
been made, but 1t has now become ap-
parent that the anti-socialists are lin
ing up solidly with the churches to
weed out the teachings of socialistic
orators who for months past have been
permitted to hold meetings on soap
boxes in the streets, one or two of
which meetings were broken up by the
police when the speaker became abu-
sive.

HILLS GIRL Is DROWNED
IN CANADIAN COUNTRY

Lead, s. D.. Dec. 6.--Mystery con-
corning the disappearance OF Miss
Madge Marian Turner, formerly of this
city, has been partially cleared through
correspondence with Canadian officials
at Golden. B.. c., where 1t is learned
that the girl met her death some time
this fall. Miss Turner was until last
August employed here as a domestic
In the nome of T. j. Grier, the super
intendent of the Homestake Mining
company, and was well thought Of by
her employers. She left here in August
for a visit with relatives in Calgary,

until her brother at that place learned
that an unknown woman's body had
been found by q train crew floating in
the Kicking Horse river near Field,
B.. G. The brother tool II up with Mr..
Grier and together they investigated
and found that the dead woman was
Miss Turner. 1t develoned at the coro-
ner's inquest, held at Golden. that the
woman had apparently tried to ford
the river at a point where 1t was five
feet deep, and lost her life in the at
tempt. Coroner Buckham, of Kootenay
county. province of British Columbia,
had the body buried at Field before
identification was established. Miss

UNTITLED,
COURTS OPINION
CONCERNING EGAN
Justices Corson and Haney
Keep Out and Findings Are
by New Appointees.

Pierre, S. D., Dec. 7.-Justices Corson
and Haney took NJ part in the rehears.
ing of the Egan disbarment cas- ow-
ing to their relations to the first hear
ing for disbarment. The opinion in the
decision through which he is still pro-
hibited from appearance and standing
at court was written by Justice Whit
ing and concurred in by Justices Smith
and Mccoy. The opinion goes, not only
into the legal phases of the case, but
In fact includes practically a complete
history Of the affairs in which Mr..
Egan has been concerned, which led up
to the present situation. He takes up
first the legal phases of the case, then
shows In detail the tactics Of Egan in
carrying on his campaign both in the
newspapers and in other manner In his
attacks upon the integrity Of the courts
Of the state, and the judge of such
courts. In n part of the opinion he
assumes that 1t Is %fortunte that a ma
jority Of the present membership OF
the court has come to the bench since
the disbarment Of the applicant, and
III majority alone acted after a re-
view Of the record In all the different
phases Of the case leaving the members
who had been attacked personally by
Egan entirely tut of the present case.
thus cutting that Individual OF from
an opportunity to declare the present
decision q part OF the conspiracy" to
crush him continuing in their former
line Of action. The newspaper articles
and clippings in which Egan attacks
Justices Haney and Corson are quoted
freely. and SET up as one good reason
why such a man Is not a proper per-
son to be a member Of the bar of the
state. His record n pleadings in the
hearing in which he was disbarred are
shown to be in large part assertion,
with nothing tangible to sustain the
allegations made by Egan in his appli-
cations and petitions.
Justice Mccoy concurs In a short
special opinion, in which he concurs
fully with the opinion written by Jus
tice Whiting. in which he holos that
his accusations against the courts OF
the state show his moral unfitness to
be an attornay Of the court, while us
tice Smith simply concurs IN the opin-
ions expressed by Justices Whiting n
Mccoy, after a careful consideration
of all the records In the case.
The disbarment of Egan was on the
grounds of moral unfitness' and the
Justices who have all come to the
bench sine that decision was rendered,
after a careful examination Of the rec
ord, and other matters connected with
the case, have unanimously come to the
conclusion that the decision disbarring
Egan should stand.

A pioneer who deserves well Of her
sex is Madame Strebor, who Is endeav-
oring to popularize billiard playing
among women. Madame Strebor's own
graceful presence and womanly charm

to billiards being an unfeminine game;
indeed, it's latest champion protests
that women only wan to know more
about the intricacies Of billiard playing
to like it as well as golf or hockey.

FEDERATION PLAN
NOT UNDERSTOOD
BY LEAD MINERS
Contention Over Time When
Benefits Are to Be Paid
Suit by Homestake.

Lead, s. d., Dec. S.-Keen observers
who have been keeping In touch with
he situation here In the dispute be-
tween the Homestake Mining company
and the employees, lay much stress on
the statement Of President Charles HI.
Meyer Of the Western Federation Of
Miners, that, for the present at least,
no regular benefits will be paid the
men by the federation, but that IN all
cases of immediate need the destitute
families of men would be cared for by
the local union. AS a result OF this
policy there is much manifest dissatis-
faction among many OF the union men
and the company Is confidently looking
for the union to sever it's relations
with the federation. Such an intention
Is denied by both union and fedora
ton officials, but the foreign element
Is uneasy and man. of the men openly
discuss the question on the streets.
The question Of benefits first arose
at the time of the lockout when some
of the union miners declare they were
given to understand that the fedora
ton would give them weekly benefits
from the start of the lockout at the
rate Of 81 per day for single men and
$40 per week and upwards for married
men with families. So far 10 benefits
except In a few dire cases, have been
paid, as a result of h unrest of the
loIciSH unlOH IHen OVeT the uldtteT VI
not receiving money a special meeting
of The union was called. For the first
time since the trouble started there
was a lack Of enthusiasm at the meet
ing. President Meyer stated to the
men that benefits would be paid but
not Immediately as 1t was the rule OF
the federation to issue no regular bene-
fits until h men actually needed them
and in this case most Of the locked
out employees have funds enough to
get along for a time. The newspapers
here took up the question n while
the papers supporting the company arc
fo~recasting a speedy end to the dispute
the union papers maintain that bene-
fits will be paid shortly and urge al
legiance to the federation by all union
men.
The Lead City Miners union, made
defendant in the recent suit for $780,
600 damages brought by the Homestake
company in the federal court, has re-
tanned Richardson and Hawkins Of
Denver, n r. G. Hayes Of Deadwood,
as attorneys to defend the suit n
their answer is expected to be filed
next week. II the Homestake vigor-
ously presses the suit. 1t may come to
trial next May unless 1t should be
stipulated otherwise.
