CITY CANNOT BAR SALOONS.
License May Be Granted In Township
Adjoining Mitchell.

Although Mitchell is a dry town,
there is a strong possibility Of two
saloons being operated under its very
nose. This condition will be brought
about, in all probability, by the grant
ing Of licenses to saloons in Mitchell
township, which adjoins the four sides
of the city. the distance to the town
ship line being but about three-quar-
tiers of a mile from the business cen
ter. A petition has been filed with
the clerk Of the Mitchell township
board requesting hat the question of
license be voted upon in hat town

under the law the board will be re-

lead every farmer, who can do so, to
study this question more closely than
eve before.
To aid In such study We copy from
a Canadian bulletin the illustrations
and explanation which follows:
Roughly speaking. ten pounds OF ice
are equal In cooling power to 100
pounds Of cold water. Thus 100 pounds
of water containing ten pounds Of ice
will do as much cooling as 200 pounds
Of the same water. Or, In other
words, the use Of ice in the water sur
rounding the milk may do away With
the necessity for changing It.. The
same advantage applies in the case Of
using a special milk cooler. The ice
can be placed in the receptacle which
contains the supply Of water for the
cooler.
To utilize the ice for household pur-
poses In connection with an arrange
ment of this kind, II would be neces-
sary to provide an insulated ice box
In which to put articles of food along

Albert Moore Must Answer to Mining
Frauds.

After four years OF freedom Albert
Moore, alias Henry A. Everett, or j.
L. Ferguson, is in the Deadwood jail,
and must stand trial on a charge OF
using the mails to defraud. The crime
for which Moore must answer was N
of the boldest mining frauds w per-
petrated here. Moore came here In
1905, and shortly became acquainted,
when he intimated that he would put
some money in mining enterprises
In Deadwood. Shortly after his ar
rival at Deadwood the postofice au-
thorities became suspicious OF his
mail. He received quantities OF let

dent or general manager of the I'm
perial Globe Mining and Leasing COM
pany," a purely fictitious company.
The department investigated and Is
sued a fraud order which tied up sew
eral hundred letters containing money
from people in Missouri. According
to the government inspectors Moore's
scheme was to write individuals that
he was the executor Of the estate Of
a man who had recently died, leaving
$50 900 worth of government bonds.
In most cases he is alleged to have
told the victim that there was a GER
tain sun of money, usually about 500.

tim, who was pictured as an heir,
could ecu them by the payment of
that amount. The letters were all
sent to Lead under the lame Of Fer
guson, but when officers spotted him
In a hotel and went to arrest him he
locked the room door on them and,
slipping out Of a side way, made his
escape from town, and was never seen
again until recently 1t was learned
that he was serving a term in the
Montana penitentiary for raising a
~postoffics order. At the expiration Of
this term he was brought here and
will be tried in the United States dis
trict court at the May term.

Five bills were slain, and two Of them
were railroad bills, one providing for

A red-hot scrap resulted in the

The house judiciary committee has

secret Of silk that wears, and, further
more, in buying a pair of the embroidered
gloves one has the satisfaction OF know
ing that the EMBROIDERY. which is, of
course, the expensive feature of the
glove, will do service throughout the en-
tire season. There is a row of fagot
stitching at the wrist in bracelet effect,
which joins the hand portion Of the en-
brodered upper part, and when the finger
tips begin to wear out the glove may be
''rehanded" by the makers.
For wear with tailored waists and long
sleeved coats. the short silk glove will be
more practical, and though these gloves
come in tans, grays and black as we'll as
white, most women prefer to wear only
white silk gloves in summer time. White
gloves always have a cool and dainty
look, and white silk gloves, also, do not
show wear traces like the darker sort in
which a pinhole is plainly visible over the
skin of the hand. White gloves are easily
kept fresh and may be washed and dried
over night or in a couple Of hours near
artificial heat.
In buying white silk gloves for sum-
mer it is wisest to get two or three pairs
exactly alike. Then the pairs may be in
terchanged, the gloves showing signs of
wear discarded and the better ones mated
together.

return to medieval times. and this is real

classical styles, and medieval effects are
taken from the period following the clas-

Where the Women Propose.

Away off in the strange island of New
Guinea it is leap year all the time in
one important sense, for out there all the
proposals of marriage are made by the
women. 1t is considered beneath the
dignity of the male inhabitants of New
Guinea to even notice woman and con-
sequently the women perforce must no.
tice the men and must start any idea of
weddings. etc.
So when the island belle Of New Guinea
becomes in love she promptly sends a
piece of string to the sister of the lucky
man If he has no sister she sends it
to his mother or anyhow to some female
relative. This, because the man and his
male relatives are assumed to be above
taking any steps toward acquiring a
wife.
Then the sister says to the man in
volved, Brother, / have news; So-and- so

to meet the enamoured lady. When they
meet 1t is alone and they either decide
