SuFFRAGETTE TURKEY

Darlington, n. D., Aug. 2o.-
Has the "emancipated-w woman"
spread beyond the human race?
While the Darlington ladies have
been busying themselves with USE

votes for women" propaganda has
invaded even our barn yard fowl.
At Chas. Luteson's farm, south of
Melville, is a model suffragette
turkey family.
There Mr.. L. Gobbler finds life
is anything but one grand strut.
He knows not the Joy OF prone
nading with putting breast, bril-
liant scarlet wattles OF the head
sunk deep in feathers, wings ex-
banded and tense, and tail a-fan

since early spring. Before the
opening of the social summer sea-
son she took occasion to lay dog

put to work, four weeks were re-
CURED to bring forth the breed.
Without protest he kept the eggs
warm, only leaving the nest
at one short interval each day
to seek a few worms and stray
kernels Of grain.
With the first brood through Mrs.
Gobbler again felt the call of ma
ture and about two weeks ago
spread another nest. Unemanci-
pated turkey hens are content with
raising one family year, but with
suffragettes it's different. And now

GRAY HAIRS BANISHED.N

The old idea Of using sage for darker
Ing the hair Is again coming in vogue.
Our grandmothers used to have dark,
glossy hair at the age of seventy-fve,
while our mothers have white hair before
they are fifty. Our grandmothers used
TO make sage tea" and apply it to
their hair. The tea made their hair soft
and glossy and gradually restored the
natural color. One objection to using
such a preparation was the trouble OF
making it, especially as it had to be
made every two or three days on account
OF 1t souring quickly. This objection has
been overcome and by asking almost
any first-class druggist for Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur the public can get a SUI
perior preparation of sage, with the adj
mixture of sulphur, another valuable rem
edy for hair and scalp troubles. Daily
use OF this preparation will not only
quickly restore the color of the hair but
will also stop the hair from falling out
and make it grow. It is sold by all
druggists for SOC. and $1.00 a bottle. or

Company, "a Cortlandt St., New York

HORSES CREMATED
in TWO n. D. Fires
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE NEAR FINLEY
AND ANOTHER NEAR VELVA
LATTER OF INcENDI-
AIRY ORIGIN.

Finley, N. D., Aug. 29.-Fire destroy
ed the barn, twelve head of good work
horses, one COW and a heifer, and about
seventy five tons of hay at the r. l.
Simonson farm, about three and half
miles northwest of town.
Ingebrit Simonson and the hired
man had put the horses in the barn,
attended to the chores, and left the
place for town, no one living on the
farm, about two hours before the fire
broke out.
They left everything all right, as
far as they knew, and the origin Of
the fire is mystery.
William Leiske and his threshlng
crew were the first ones to arrive on
the scene Of the fire, but it was too
late to do anything but watch 1t burn.
The wind was fortunately in the right
direction so that the other buildings
were saved. The fire must have been
an intensely warm one, as the horses
seemed to lie in a row just as they
were left in the stalls.
Mr.. Simonson estimates his loss at
$4,000, with no insurance.
Horses crematcd.
Velva, ~ d., Aug 2a.--Eleven head
of horses owned by G. w. Maynard

QUEER SKELETON
IS DISCOVERED
SECOND LILLIPUTIAN SKELETON
is FOUND IN SANDSTONE RIDGE
NEAR GLADSTONE, BEARS RE-
sEMRLANcE TO ANOTHER DIS
COVERED IN SAME VICINITY.

Dickinson Press: Recently while ex-
cavating rock for a foundation to his
dwelling house that he Is erectlng, S. u.
Gregg found entombed in the sandstone
rock, lilliputian skeleton.
The find was made north Of Glad
stone in the sandstone ridge.
The skeleton was in very poor con-
dition and there was nothing but few
and a portion of the skull and a thigh
bone, comprise the remains.
Some ten or twelve years ago sim
liar skeleton was found by K. j. Turner
while quarrying stone on The hin south
of thown.
Both skeletons were walled into the
sandstone; the one that Mr.. Turner
found had a remnant of a rude coffin
also in the tomb; the coffin was simply
two boards, one underneath and the
other over the skeleton. These boards
had been bound together by thongs
having been passed through the boards,
Both the little skeletons gave about
the same measurements, say about
three feet high, and both were of ma
ture beings.
The one that Mr.. Turner found had
the lower jaw in pretty fair state OF
preservation, showing a fun set OF
teeth (none were missing nor were any
decayed). The jaws of both subjects
bore strong resemblance TO each other,
being very square and strong. The
skull Of the Turner find was pretty
well preserved, and was shaped very
much like the Indian skulls, that is
the facial angle and high cheek bones.

somewhat diminutive. The teeth OF
Mr. Turner's find were what is termed
double teeth, they were not like the or
binary set Of white mems teeth; had
no eye teeth nor incissors properly
speaking, although occupying the place
that these teeth Of the human animal
usually occupy. Neither OF these skel-
etons could be preserved any length of
time.
The writer Of this article was given
the skeleton that Mr.. Turner found ana
an attempt was made to keep the re-
mains but the bones and the wood Of

away before many years had elapsed.

WORRY DROVE
HIM TO DEATH.
5RooDlNG OVER HIS FINANCIAL
TROUBLES RoBs FARMER OF
REAsoN--PuTs A BULLET
THROUGH HEART.

Beach, N. D., Aug. 2e.-Slayton Rob-
inson, a farmer living about thirty
one miles southwest of this city, shot
himself through the heart with 49,
calibre revolver in his home, death oc-
curing instantly.
The awful deed was the culmina-
ton Of two months worry over finan-
cial and crop troubles, during which
time he had been regarded by his fam
py and neighbors as being deranged.
For the last week he had sat in moody
silence, and the efforts OF his friends
to rouse him from his dependency
had proven fruitless. Tuesday noon,
while the vigilance Of the members of
his family was temporarily relaxed,
he went into another room and COM
mitted the terrible act.
Five years ago he came to this
country from the little town of Viola,
near Rochester, Mimi, and filed on the
land upon which he was living. He
had broken up this year and put in
about zoo acres, the crop being in fax.
The crop did not do well and as he
had borrowed from a Wibaux bank the
money to cover the expense, the pros
poet Of crop failure drove him in
sane. BY next January he could have
made final proof to his land and OBJ
tanned title.
He was a married man, 81 years of
age, and leaves a wife and four chill
dren, one of. the latter being married
son in Texas, and the other three girls
and all at home.
The body was brought to this city
Wednesday for preparation for burial
and was shipped this morning back
to the old home for interment
It is said that the deceased carried
quite an amount Of life insurance, so
that with the half section of land. the
widow and children will not be destl-
tute.

Mandan, N. D., Aug. 29.-Peter
Remilong, the Glen Ullin man, who
had gone to Walsh, Alberta, Can, in

to converse with anyone, and was
treated without the slightest consid-

nesses on whose assertions depended a
trial and he was given his freedom.
