Organizing Dewey County

Pierre-In compliance with petit
ton presented to him, Governor
Vessey has called an elect;on to CO.
incide with the general fall cleo
ton of Dewey county. The admin
istration of Dewey county has been
accomplished as an unorganized coun-
ty attached to Walworth county from
Selby, the county seat Of Walworth
county, which has been a great incon-
venience Due to the location of Dewey
county, which is west of the Missouri
river.
Ed L. Milligan and John G. Con-
away, of Timber Lake, the proposed
county seat of Dewey county, have
been in conference with the governor
today and have presented petition
filling the requirements of law in re-
gard to the admission Of counties,
signed by $50 voters residing in the
territory included in the present
Dewey county. The plans of these
gentlemen are to include the lower
tier of townships in the present Cor
son county comprising 2SS sections OF

was doing, than he was off In the city,

suit himself and learning what he
wished to know about events at Sun
nysiGe in some occult way | was
glad enough to have him there, when
excitements began to come thick and
fast.
A new element was about to enter
into affairs; Monday, or Tuesday at
the latest, would find DR.. Walker back
in his green and white house in the
village, and Louise's attitude to him
in the immediate future would signi-
sy Halsey's happiness or wretched-
ness, as it might turn out. Then, too
the return of her mother would mean,
OF course, that she would have to
leave us, and had become greatly at
tached to her.
From the day Mr.. Jameson came
to Sunnyside, there was subtle
change in Gertrude's manner to me.

1t was there. She was no longer frank

missing bits of plaster. 1t had been
a methodical ghost.
1t was very much Of a disappoint-
ment. | had expected secret room,
at the very least. and think even Mr..
Jameson had fancied he might at last
have a clew to the mystery. There
was evidently nothing more to be dis
covered; Liddy reported that every
thing was serene among the servants,
and that none of them had been dis
turbed by the noise. The maddening
thing, however, was that the nightly
visitor had evidently more than one
way of gaining access to the house, and
we made arrangements to redouble
our vigilance as to windows and doors
that night.
Halsey was inclined to pooh-pooh
the whole affair. He said a break in
the plaster might have occurred
months ago and gone unnoticed, and
that the dust had probably been
stirred up the day before After all,
we had to let it got at that, but we
put in an uncomfortable Sunday Ger
trude went to church, and Halsey took
long walk in the morning. Louise
was able to sit up, and she allowed
Halsey and Liddy to assist her down
stairs late in the afternoon. The east
veranda was shady, green with vines
and palms, cheerful with cushions and
Longing chairs. We put Louise in a
steamer chair, and she sat there
passively enough, her hands clasped
in her lap
We were very silent. Halsey sat on
the rail with a pipe, openly watching
Louise, as she looked broodingly
across the valley to the hills. There
was something battling in the girls
eyes; and gradually Halsey's boyish
features lost their glow at seeing her
about again, and settled into grim
lines. He was like his father just
then.
We sat until late afternoon, Halsey
growing more and more moody. Short
ly before six he got up and went into
the house. and in a few minutes he
came out and called me to the tele-
phone. 1t was Anna Whitcomb, in
town, and she kept me for 20 minutes,
telling me the children had had the
measles and how Nine. Sweeny had
botched her new gown.
When l finished, Liddy was behind
me, her mouth thin line.
Il wish you would try to look cheer
full, Eddy" I groaned, your face
would sour milk" But Liddy seldom
replied to my gibes. She folded her
lips a little tighter
He called her up" She said oracu-
larly, 'he called her up, and asked her

THE WEATHER MEN
Have Finished Sounding With Very
Gratifying Results

acknowledgements experts from
the weather bureau at Washington
have completed their work Of sending
up sounding balloons here, the total
number used being twenty-six. One
of the experts, b. J. Sherry, has gone
to points on the Pacific coast. The
work of these gentlemen hero was
highly satisfa Glory. Out of the twen-
ty-six balloons used during the
months of August and September,
baskets and instruments from 10 have
been returned. The records, however,
of these have not all been completed,
but have been sent to Mt. Weather,
Va, a station established by the
United States government, upon the
crest of the mountains, for the trans
lation. One of the bar rs reached
an altitude of little .e than eight
miles and registered a temperature Of
60 degrees below zero. The records
made by the balloons used at Huron
will be of vital importance to the
weather bureau of the United States
and other countries. These records
will be published by the government
as soon as translation has been COM
pleted. Mr.. Sherry's errand to Bis
marcl is by direction of the authori-
ties at Washington and is for the pur-
pose of making Investigations rela-
tive to the establishment of Derma-
nent test station, either in that city
or Huron. This station will be under
the direction of the United States
weather bureau and will mean much
to the city in which it is located.

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

+ my little son, a boy of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At
the time l was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was SO bad that l had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them it used
to take the skin off with them and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint-
ment began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but it finally yielded to the
treatment. Now I can say that he is
entirely cured, and stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,
