sippi Baptist convention, held at Vino
ma, the question of caring for superan-
nuated preachers was one of the most
important brought up for disposal. A
plan was submitted to the convention by
DIR. j. L. Johnson, in which he proposed
to first raise a fund for the care of aged
ministers, and allow them to make their
homes wherever they may see fit, instead
of establishing a home for their sus-
~tenance.

BILL IS NOW IN THE HANDS OF COMMITTEE
Means Building to Cost 15o,oOe.oO
When Completed d-Government
Now Owns Site.

Believing Rapid City entitled to a
government building Congressman
Martin introduced a bill shortly after
congress convened, asking an appro-
priation of $3.50, 900. The bill was at
once referred to the committee on
public buildings and grounds and
standsa fair chance, provided there is
any money for expenditures of this
nature. Mr.. Martin is a member of

tion. In letter to Tom Sweeney of

My bill for public building at Rapid
City is already introduced and l will
inclose you a copy. You may be sure
it will not be neglected. II there is
any public building legislation at this
session Rapid City will be on the list.
AS | am again a member of the COM
mittee on public buildings and grounds
| will be iIl a position to see that this
case is not overlooked. 1t is not pos
sible thus early in the session to know
whether or not we can legislate on
public buildings at this time, but |
personally consider this ought to be
done. 1t will of course depend upon
the question of revenues, but for one
! think that a public building bill
should be passed. I"

HIS TREATMENT NOT 50 BAD
Prof. lsgrigg is Able to Show
Results Without Viola
ton of Laws.
PRACTICES SUGGESTIVE THERAPEUTICS
DR.. Minty and Others Cause his
Arrest Alleging No Value to HIS
Cure by Faith Professions.

Suggestive therapeutics as a cure
for bodily ailments is all right accord
ing to decision Of Justice Worth,
rendered Tuesday in the case entitled:
''Dr. Minty VS.. Prof. L. M. Isgrigg."
The decision. however, is with the
proviso that the person treated by the
laying on of hands and thinking is IA
vorabe to the treatment.
Prof. lsgrigg and wife have been
residents Of the city several months,
during which time he has practlced
the Weltmer method of suggestive
therapeutics, treating many patients.
The warrant for his arrest was sworn
out before Justice f. e. Joy and the
case was tried before Justice Worth.
Mayor Wood prosecuted the case and
the defense was represented by Attor-
ney G. w. Brown. Testimony was
offered by Drs. Minty, Rattle and Rob
inson, eirtestimony tending to show
that practice engaged in by defendant
was of no medical standing and that
not being licensed physician he
should not be allowed to practice in
the state.
The defense admitted the allegations
and then prisented testimony to show
that no drugs were used and that,
Notwithstanding their absence, the
professor was able to relieve suffering
as he claimed. A diploma from the
Weltmer college at Nevada, No., was
offered as an exhibit. This was fol-
lowed by testimony of Ole Peterson,
p. b. Mccarthy, Sam Faulk, Hugh
Brown, T.. j. Lyons, j. ID. Harding,
A. I'll. Tyrell and others, all of whom
claimed to have been treated and
cured of disease
Justice Worth, after hearing the
testimony and listening to the argu-
ments, concluded that no crime had
been committed by the practice Of
Suggestive therapeutics and so de-
cided the case.

Mondell, head of the public land COM
mission, in the hope he will recognize
the hardship depicted and take action
to remedy it, as it is beliyed within
his power to do so. The modification
asked would not be for South Dakota
only, but would apply to all states
where lands are TO be had as home
steads.
The land being taken up in north
east Mead county is so far removed
from railroad points that coal for fuel
is next to impossible to secure, now
costing $3S per ton by the time it is
on the homestead. Another instance
of Importance isotfered. NJ. Langdon,
a barber by trade, went upon his land.
TO do so it required seventeen days
time, with the drive .made in biting
cold over rough. slippery roads.

THEATER TALK is INDULGED
Movement Started for New Opera
House at an Estimated Cost of
$4,000 in Business Center.

There is a movement on foot to have
a part of the new building to be
erected by the Merchants Loan and
Trust company converted to use as
modern opera house. The structure
is to be at the corner of Seventh and
st. Joe streets and is believed an ideal
location for such purpose. Another
location now suggested is the property
owned by Corbin Morse at the corner
of ST. Joe and Sixth streets. 1t is
stated the owner would be pleased to
consider a proposition for such pur-
pose. 1t is claimed that a theater
building with stores on the first floor
could be erected at an expenditure of
approximately $4,000 and that the
rentals would take care of the interest
on borrowed money, or if built by local
capital would pay fair percentage on
the investment. The sentiment ap-
pears to favor theater seating 800 to
1000, VIII ca is plenty large enough for
many years and believed the most
convenient size.

Settled by Marriage.

The man who was arrested some
days ago, Grant Albert Darrah,
for living with Mrs. Beeis and
raising two children by them liv-
ing together; married the woman
last week. and made out written
article declaring he was the faith
er of the children, and adobting
them into his family, making
them his heirs; this waa required
by the county attorney, who de-
clared that marriage alone did
not legitamtize the children.
In this case suit had been brought
by the county against the man,
IN the name of Supervisors for the
maintainance of the woman and
children, and the farm, which,
was clear, was tied up. This ac-
tion now removes the stain OF
Bastardy from the children, gives
the woman property right in the
land and fixes a maintainance for
them. Judge Shinn performed
the marriage ceremony, with
county attorney Gadd as witness,

intent. However, as he picked
up the revolver and placed it to
his head, the little one seized her
father by the arm and exclaimed
oh. papa! Don't shoot yourself in
thehead. 1t will hurt like every.
thing. The man Immediately
lowered his arm, placed the re.
volver against his right side and

The Beacon Sees SpOOkS.

Our friendly contemporary, the
Beacon is very much exercised
because the republican candi-
dates that Chance to be holding
a county deputyship have oc-
caslonal taken day off to at
terd fair or old settlers meet
ing to form acquaintanc with
the voters of the county. All
told they have been absent from
their Offices four days this fall
since they were selected by the
primaries as candidates. AS
clerks they by custom of we'll
regulated business are entitled
to two weeks vacation but none
of them have taken that during
the whole time they have been
employed by the county. 1t
would be better for them as we'll
as the county if they would take
vacation and get out door exer-
else. They would be able to do
the county better service by do
ing it.
The absence from the office is
different from a deputy as the
clerks duties are purely clerical
while that of the principal is
executive. Further than that
there is probably not a clerk ia
any of the county Offices that
has been there the past four
years but has put in more extra
hours for the county in that
time than they would use were
they out every day during the
rest of the campaign.
| When the pops were in the
county Offices we remember them
holding their meeting over the
county whenever they choose
yet the Office run along just the
same as we'll as their salaries.
