Heads of Navy Are Annoyed By Women

minated In the court-martial OF two
officers, illustrates the prominent part
women play In navy circles.
Almost everybody knows OF the
mutual i'll feeling existing between
then navy women and the department.
Every once In a while something hap
pens to widen this breach. Only q
few days ago Ensign Charles M. Aus
tin, o of Representative Richard
w. Austin of Tennessee, was deprived
of an especially desirable berth by the
navy department merely because he
got married. He had been detached
from the dispatch boat Dolphin at the
Washington navy yard and ordered
to Japan for duty as a student at
tache at the American embassy at
Tokyo for the purpose Of studying the
Japanese language. On the way to
his new post of duty he stopped at his
former home in Tennessee and was
married to a girl he had known for
many years.
This was too much for the unro-
mantle departmental authorities, who
suddenly decided that q married en-
sign would not make as good a stu
dent of the Japanese language as q
bachelor. Accordingly his orders
were revoked and instead OF spending
his honeymoon In Tokyo he will have
less interesting service at the naval
training station on the Pacific coast
He will. however, have his wife.

Good Price For Land

Sioux Falls-What do you think OF
a quarter of Minnehaha county farm
land selling for $112.50 per acre? Such
a transaction took place yesterday
whereby what is known as the T. M.
householder farm, three miles north
west of Sioux Falls, comprising 16O
acres of beautiful land was purchased
by George Barley for which he paid
the nice fat sum of $112.50 per acre.
This Is the top price ever paid for
Minnehaha county farm lands and
ought to make the Iowa and Illinois
farmer sit up and take notice. The
purchaser, Geo. Barley thinks he has
q sure-enough bonanza.

AN INDIAN
Catholic Bishop Holds One Arrcng
Pine Ridge Indians


Pierre-Bishop Busch, the newly ap-
pointed Catholic Bishop for the terri
tory west of the Missouri in South
Dakota held an Indian congress of
his charges among the red men, a.
Cheyenne River agency, and it was
attended by representatives from ev-
cry Indian reservation in the state.
The attendance reached fully two
thousand, and the congregations were
as attentive as any could have been.
Besides Bishop Busch, the Missionary
priests who were present and took a
part were, Reverend Fathers Lindeb-
ner of Pine Ridge; Grote of Rosebud;
Ambrose Of Crow Creek; and Bede
of Standing Rock.
The reports made by the heads of
the societies of the church among
the Indians showed SO St. Joseph soci-
cites and the same number Of st.
Mary societies, which two turned over
$3.50 to the bishop to aid in his work.
At the meeting nineteen persons were
baptized, and seventy-seven confirm
ed.
Resolutions were adopted providing
for a committee of two from each So
ciety to find out what can be done for
the benefit of the societies; giving to
the Grow Creek Indians all the rights
of the session of the congress as those
which are located on the west side OF
the river; and the selection of Sam
Charger, as a delegate to the general
meeting of the Federation of Catholic
Societies of America, which is to be
held at New Orleans late this fall.
The next meeting of the congress
will be at Pine Ridge.

Painfully Burned

Watertown-Horribly burned in a
peculiar fire, Horace Martell, night
clerk at the Kampeska hotel In this
city, lies at the city hospital with the
skin from both hands and arms burn
ed off. Martell had been suffering
from rheumatism, and had had his
arms and hands wrapped in oiled
cloths. In attempting to light a cigar
last night he swept his one arm
through the fame of the lighter, and
in an instant both arms were ablaze.
He frantically beat them together, but
the Oil burned fiercely, and by the
time the guests in the lobby could
smother the fire his arms were SO
badly burned that when the charred
wrappings were removed the skin and
bits of flesh came with it.

After.Ithe hitting and fielding

were paired off, one headed by
Capt. Sandy and the other by
Ollie Hole and a three inning
game was PLAYED. Duncanson

he had lost none of his cleverness

best. "OCty Graham did the re

he handled the nit it looks as if

made it very evident that the choice
of catcher was no ways near settled.
Both sides hit well for the first
time out of doors, but they had no
reason not to for the pitchers used
only straight ones. The two teams
lined up again Saturday afternoon
with Burke and Hole pitching and
played a 8 inning game. The
work of the infeld men was of the

men showed that they could be

\. BAYNES
NOyelland Most Interesting Lecture
on Animal Life.
ILLUSTRATED WITH VIEWS
Mr.. BayneS Tells of Personal Experiences
With Wild Animals.

We used TO think we could see
things about as we'll as anybody
and that when we went to the
woods what we didn't see wasn't
worth looking at anyhow. And no
doubt that is true, considering
what we 90 to see, or be with.
However that is, since real lover
of nature and a man who not only
studies, but also understands nat
lural objects has told us of a few
things which has come under his
observation, we are compelled to
think that those who "have eyes
and see not, ears and hear not" are
not entirely eXstinct as yet.
The rapid removal of forests in
this section of the country has left
little or no place as shelter for game
consequently we know almost as
much about wild animals, exclusive
of college students, as we do about
the latest methods of courtship on
Uranus. But there IS hope for US.
Spring is almost at hand.
Tho lecture did not include many
varieties of game but was confined
to such species as the black bear,
the Virginia deer, fox, racoon,
skunk and several kinds of birds.
The views, which were made from
photographs taken either by Mrs.
Baynes or himself, were remark
ably clear and instructive, and
showed what may be done with
camera as well in the line of nature
study. Our college photographers
who find nothing more than brick
walls and concrete pavements as
subjects might take a lesson from
Mr.. Baynes.
Had any person, other than the
lecturer, told US what could be done
in the way of demonstrating bear
fox and even Skunks we might
gently have tole him to quit drink
ing but we could not diSbelieve
when records of the events were
shown as photographed. 1t GER
talnly does seem incredible, even
now, that a wild bird would pick at
a crust which the lecturer held in
his lips, but the picture proved the
point. Remarkable as it all seemed, |
no doubt any one of us could ac-
complish some of the things which
Mr.. Baynes has if only we kept our
eyes and hearts open to nature and |
spent more time out of doors.
