DEATH OF MRS. J. E. MILlE11
A Well Known and Highly Re-
Spected Eden Township PiO-
neer Passes Away.

Hudsonite: The news of the death
of Mrs. Joseph e. Millett of Eden
township, came as shock to the peo-
pie of this community on Wednesday
afternoon. Mrs. Millett has been all
ing for some time with dropsy and
fatty generation OF the heart, but no
one thought she was seriously i'll.
Her condition became such the first
of the week that DR.. Warren of Sioux
City was sent for, arriving here on
Tuesday evening. He and Drs Jor
dan and Buck held consultation on
Wednesday morning, but the disease
had advanced to such a state that
they decided that an operation would
not help the patient, and none was
attempted. The doctors gave the
family very little hope for the recov-
cry of the wife and mother, but her
death came sooner than even the doc
tor expected. and she breathed her
last on Wednesday afternoon.
Mrs. Millett was well known and
highly respected lady, pioneer resi-
dent Of this section. In 1877 she and
her husband were married and since
that time they have resided continu
ously on their fine farm, Which they
homesteaded in Eden township. She
made home home indeed for her
loved ones and the Millett home was
known far and wide for its hospilali-
ty. Her husband, her mother and
three sons and three daughters and
numerous other relatives and scores
Of friends survive her.
The children are Mrs Warren
Beckett Of Ottumwa, S. D., Mrs. Cur
ington of Reva, S. d., and Mrs. Chas.
Asking of Hudson, and the three
sons, Frank, Fred and Forest.
The funeral services were held at
the home at one o'clock last Saturday
afternoon, interment taking place in
the Eden cemetery.
Thus has another good woman gone
to her reward and her kindly presence
and cheerful personality will be missed
by all who know her. A true and
loving wife and fond mother, she
was loved affectionately by her family
and was respected and esteemed by
all who had her acquaintance. The
sadly bereaved family have the sim
cere sympathy Of all in their great
loss

soldiers home. The worry and trials
and troubles Of the position killed
Col. Dudley, and yet cowardly liars
and worthless characters like Jones
are ever busy N mlnufacturiny lies and
fomentiny trouble and writing letters
to the governor. Governor Vessey
has received many letters from this
class Of people. He had no means Of
knowing whether these letters told
the trnth or nut, but he has done
more than any other governor has
d me to learn all the facts in every
case presented for bis consideration.
lie has ordered Investigation OF every
complaint filed with him and the
board was prompt TO investigate and
report, and in every case it was the
same old story OF falsehood to hurt
somebody and make trouble. The
case under discussion was the work of
an irresponsible Texas democrat who
Is seeking some means to keep his
name before the people,, and we are
inclined to believe that the people of
Rapid City know him better than the
democrats he would like to lead In
the next campaign, but his character
we do not care to discuss at this time.
No Governor OF South Dakota has
shown greater desire to help the old
veterans than Governor Vessey, and
every complaint sent him has found
prompt investigation by the board Of
commissioners. The board has no de-
sire to do the slightest injustice to
any veteran or the home, but when
they violate the rules, which they all
know, they are only compelling the
board to treat them as the law gov
erning the home and the board de-
mands. Every man in the homo
elects to obey or disobey the simple
rules laid down for the peaceful and
successful management Of this insti.
tuition where 95 per cent. are happy
and contented and the few want to
raise hell and do as they please. It's
the latter class that must be
dealt with and a failure to handle
this class as the rules demand would
mean insubordination and q hell In
stead of a home.
Governor Vessey understands the
condition of the home and has found
from investigation that he has been
lied TO just Is this worthless blather-
skite from Texas lied to him.

Soldiers

The Sioux Falls Argus Leader in it's
issue Of Monday contains long ar
ticle from the Aberdeen Democrat,
presumed to be tho work Of a man
named Jones, a democrat, without
ch aracter, recently from Texas. We
care nothing 40 )ut this worthless liar
from Texas or the falseh ,ods pub
lished about the soldiers home or its
management bJ the board OF commits
sioners, but when the Argus Leader
assails GOV. Vsssey aud charges him
With refusing to do Justice to the
men discharged by unanimous vote
of the b)ard, IL is time to speak and
denounce both as miserable liars.
The Governor Of the state appoints
mem bers Of the soldiers home b ,ard
to look after the affairs Of that insti-
tuition just as the board OF regents
and board of charities and corrections
are appointed. These boards are COM
posed of men competent for the posi-
tions they are required to fill. The
soldiers home board is composed Of
i've veterans Of the civil war, men Of
good repute and are known to be good
citizens where they reside. They ap-
point commandant OF the home
who carries out their orders for the
good management of the institution.
There are no politics in the soldiers
home management, and no man is
ever asked how he votes.
Col. Geddls, the present comman-
dant Of the home, was appointed
member of the board by Gov. Craw-
ford and when Col. Dudley died the
board appointed him acting comman-
dant until new commandant could
be selected. At the meeting last
June . majority of the board deemed
Col. Geddis the best man for the po-
sition, though not q candidate, and
he was elected. There we're thirteen
candidates for the place, and tffe
writer, who had plenty Of experience
as commandant of the home, believes
now as he did last June, that there is
no more capable man In the state for
the position than Col Geddis. He
carries out the orders of the board
and the board has been unanimous on
every question involving the dis
charge Of men since they began their
work last June. Every man dis
charged had his case thoroughly dis
cussed by the board and those dis
charged were discharged for sufficient
cause aud the welfare of the home.

Thorsten Hotter in Cupa

The last letter we had from Mr..
Thorsten Hotter was dated at
Christiania, Norway, in which he told
of a three months jaunt over Mountain
and Valley in the old Northland
where Seakings we're born centuries
before Columbus was heard Of. His
very interested letter was published
in the LEADER. We heard Of him
at New York after his arrival from
Norway. Again at Niagara Falls,
Minneapolis and lastly at Bowdon,
North Dakota, then wireless connec-
tion ceased for time.
Last Saturday we picked up wire
less which read Cuba. Then the
sparks ceased and the keyboard began
to work nicely and the words, "Santa
