Managing a Husband.

Men are like children; they want
managing, although you must never
let them dream that you think so. No
child likes to be ordered about, no
man will endure coercion. But man.
aging! 1t is an art so subtle, SO elu-
sive, that few women understand even
the rudiments of it. Sisters mine, let
is reason together, says Woman's
Life. In every human being there is
q spark of the divine; it Is yours to
fan that spark into a flame-that Is
managing a man-it is to get the very
best out of him there is to have, and
not two women in ten can do it.
Do not think that there is anything
unworthy in managing a man-to
bring out the best is a high vocation,
Only let us see to 1t that we are
worthy of it. There are women who
have made angels of men, but at the
cost Of their own divinity. There Is
room for more than one unselish per.
in a family.

Disheartened Among Strangers

Plankinton-The authorities of Au-
rora county have been called upon
to care for a German giving his
name as John Stefin, who attempted
to commit suicide by cutting his
throat with a knife. Stefin had been
travelling through the country with a
small shack, built upon an old blu ggy
running gear, in which he carried a
kit of harness makers tools, and en-
deavored to make a living doing re-
pair work. A farmer, near whose
home he had camped for the nj hit,
not observing any stir about the wag-
on, went to it and found the German
nearly dead from loss of blood. In ad-
dition to cutting his throat he had
cut two frightful gashes in his head.
Stefin gives his age as 36, and states
he came to the United States In 1871.
He further stated that he had no
home and no relatives in America.
He had no money. He attempted to
take his own life when he rea lied his
desperate condition.

Fatally Assaulted

Hurley-Harry Loughrey, the man
assaulted here Saturday, is failing
rapidly, and cannot possibly live
more than a few hours. He is one
mass of bruises and his side is
crushed in, the ribs puncturing the
lungs. The assailant evidently kick
ed and stamped on him until ex-
hausted. He is known az John Hall,
or Jones, and had been working in
this vicinity during the summer. They
had been driving n drinking to-
gether and the assault was the result
of a row. After the attack in t h
wagon the man turned the team loose
with Loughrey in the wagon and 1t
was found on the streets of Hurley.
Hall made no effort to escape, but
stayed around Hurley until he heard
that officers were looking for him,
when he escaped, but was taken on
a road near town, being at that time
too drunk to use his wits. He was
taken to Parker, where he will be
held pending the outcome of Lough-
rey's injuries.

M COMMISSION
Jobbers' Committee From Duluth In
form of Grievance

Jobbers' Committee From Duluth In
form of Grievance
Flandreau-The commissioners have
Just finished holding a session here
which was attended by a dele
cation representing the Jobbers
Freight Traffic association of Duluth,
Mimi, who desire to act in conjunc-
ton with the South Dakota state rail-
way commission in the matter of pre-
senting South Dakota's complaint, as
to freight rates, before the interstate
commerce commission, when the re-
quest for lower freight rates in South
Dakota is presented to that tribunal.
The action of the Duluth committee
amounts to a former protest against
an advance in freight rates upon
grain, which protest the South Dako-
ia commission is asked to embody in
its presentation of the case Of this
state to the interstate commission.
From Vermillion the South Dakota
commission will 90 to Sioux City and
give the Sioux City grain merchants a
hearing, on the same subject, upon
which the Duluth people were heard.
The Sioux City grain interests, which
are making an effort to build them
selves up, desire also to protest
against an advance in the rates on
grain.
From Sioux City the commissioners
will go to Aberdeen, where they will
give testimony before the special ex-
aminer of the interstate commerce
commission, who will meet them
there, upon the freight rate situation
In South Dakota, and where they will
attend the meeting of the South Da-
kota Grain Dealers association, which
occurs on the 18th of the month.

Clubs Will Hold Conference

Aberdeen-The Lennon CONNER
cial club has appointed a COM
mittee to come to Aberdeen to con-
fer with the Aberdeen Commercial
club regarding the alleged excessive
freight rates prevalent in this sec
ton Of the northwest, with a view to
presenting a protest to the interstate
commerce commission at its meet
ing in Aberdeen to be held soon.
The Lennon club has sent COM
munications to the Commerc al clubs
at Hettinger, N. D., keeder, N.
D., Bowman, N. D., and Mc1n-
tosh, Morristown, Rhame and Scran-
ton, asking them to join with Lem
mon in the protest and it is probable
delegations from all the towns named
will be in Aberdeen on the 10th to In
terview the commerce commission.
In addition to freight rates, the Lem
mon club complains of the telegraph
and telephone rates between Aber-
deem and Lennon. The Aberdeen
business men will probably join with
the Lennon people in asking a read
justment and reduction of rates.

THE GAME FUND
Minnehaha Comfy Issued Over Nine
Hundred Licenses


Sioux Falls-Nine hundred and
seventeen licenses to hunt game
birds have been issued by the county
treasurer of this county, this year, and
of that total number, only two of the
applicants were non-residents, show
ing that the most of the shooting in
this part of the state has been done
this year by local sportsmen and that
the game law, which is intended to
conserve the game for men who are
reasonable and do not hunt for the
market, is working we'll.
The abundance of game this season
is indicated by the fact that while
the number of birds which each hun
ter may kill in a day is limited by law
to twenty, nearly every n of the
nine hundred and more persons who
have taken out license to shoot, say
that they have all the game they
wanted.
If each one of them has slain the
limit in the number of birds, twenty,
the total number of ducks and g csc
which have fallen before the unefring
aim of local nimrods, since the sea-
son opened, is 1S,340, providing each
license holder was out for but one
day.
When the number of birds which
are shot at and missed and the mum
Der which are not fired upon at all, are
taken into consideration, the vast
number of ducks and geese which pass
over this section of earth in the ca
son of fight, may be realized.
If only half the hunters succeeded
in killing the limited number, the to-
tai of water fowl would still be al
most past comprehension.

COLONEL A. S. FROST WILL BE
HEAD OF ORGANIZATION
IN SOUTH DAKOTA
BOYS WEAR KHAKI SUITS
Will Have H~aversacks and Other Reg.
imental Trimmings and Look
Very Like Real Vets
In Miniature

Sioux Falls-Colonel A. S. Frost has
been requested by Washington peo-
pie to start the boy scout movement
in South Dakota. The method of de-
%veloping the boy scouts in a state is
for ten men to take out a charter
from the head offices at Washington,
then this body of ten men called a
state committee, grants charters to
county organizations and the coun-
ties organize companies.
Each company is composed of ten
patrols and ee\h patrol is composed
of ten men. Ea\h county first organ
ICES one patrol and the number is IN
limited.
The movement is intended to keep
the boys in touch with nature, to
learn them to scout, cook, camp out,
develop a strong physique.
The scouts are clothed in khaki
uniform, consisting of coats, trou-
sers, caps, haversacks, etc. all for
1925. 1t is a cheap way for parents
to clothe children in summer.
Colonel Frost is just starting the
movement and it is probable hat a
public meeting will be called in the
near future in Sioux Falls to discuss
it.
The work is carried on under COM
petent instructors. 1t is non-sectar-
ian throwing the rich and the poor
together, and tending to make the men
of the future more democratic, as
well as strong and healthy. The
course in many respects is similar to
the regular military training.
1t is being rapidly taken up in the
east, and especially in England. 1t
originated as a result of the poor
showing the British soldiers made
during the Boer war. They were ut
terly helpless as a result of knowing
nothing of the line of work h boy
scout movement teaches.

Custer-Aat a small settlement
known as Four Miles not far from he e,
Jake Oinas, a Finlander miner and
prospector, who has long been a resi-
dent of this county, met his death
alone in his cabin, being Moderated
in a fire that followed an explosion,
while he was asleep. Oinas lived alone
and for some years had been drinking
heavily, several times upsetting a
lamp in his cabin and causing a fire
that nearly resulted in his death.
Each time he was discovered in time.
On this occasion neighbors came upon
the smoking ruins of his cabin and
notified Coroner McFadden, who in
v~estigated and found the charred re
mains Of the old man where he had
apparently fallen in a stupor. B-s'd'
him lay a partly filed bottle OF whis-
ky. Oinas had a father living in Fin
land, but no other known relatives.

Chamberlain-Sheriff Sam Sheldon,
of Lyman county, has returned from
western Nebraska with a prisoner
named Jesse Mitchell, for whom he
had been looking since last March.
Mitchell is charged with having stol-
en- twelve head of horses from the
range Of Lee Dunkle, near Murdo. As
the result of his preliminary hearing
he has been held for trial at the next
term of state circuit court in Lyman
county. In default of bonds in the
sum of $500 he has been lodged In the
Lyman county Jail. The stolen horses
have nearly all be located, having
been sold at different points along
the route.

AIR SHAFT At MASCOT
| CUTS NATIVE COPPER
Rich Mine in Dos CabazoS Adds
to Extent of Ore Already
Blocked Out

BENSON, July 15.-It is reported
that native copper has been struck in
the air shaft being sunk by the Mascot
Copper company and the management
is hopeful over the outlook. The native
appears in the porphyry rock similar
to that in the Calumet and HeCla, one
of the richest copper mines in the
world.
All work in the Dragon district sc
far has been done for development pur-
poses only, but this work is now so
far advanced on several of the prop
critics that they may soon become ore
shipping propositions.
Especially is this true OF the Red
Mountain Development companys
holdings in this district.
A recent assay of ore taken from
a short drift run off from what will
be their 100-foot level shows a total
value per ton of gold, silver and cop
per of $24.25. President Frank Briggs
of this company is an old and expert
enCed mining man and personally SUI
pervises all development done on this
property and is most optimistic as to
its future prosperity and the richness
of its naturalization. In addition to
this the Mascot has blocked out large
bodies of sulphide which run high in
copper.
This mine gives promise of becoming
soon great producer and a branch
road from Wilcox is already assured.
Captain B. w. Tibby, who is the resi-
dent engineer of this company. is an
experienced mining man and has han
died the development work in prac-
tical and systematic manner
The ten-stamp mill which this com
pany is putting up on the Cicero smith
property in the Dos Cabazos district
will soon be in operation, and from the
present outlook this will be a thriving
mining camp. The company operating
this mine is a close corporation, and for
that reason little news of its operations
and the ore encountered reaches the
outside. 1t Is known, however, that the
Southern Pacific company has COM
pleted surveys of branch road which
will soon be built to the mine. and the
old days of Tombstone may be again
revived in this district.

MOUNT ELLIOTT CON.
SHIPS COLD BULLION
Cleanup for Thirty Days at Cha
parraI Mine Is Heaviest
in Its History

PRESCOTT, July 15.-The Bank of
Arizona has received a bar of gold
bullion from the Mount Elliott Con-
solidated at Chaparral, that went to
the value of $3250, and in addition to
that output over $4,000 in a concentrate
yield is read at the mine for ship
ment to Humboldt.
This good result was accomplished
during a part of the month of June
and a few days run in July. 1t was
the heaviest made by this company in
recent months
The new five drill air compressor
that is to be electrically driven, ar
rived in Prescott from the east.
Wednesday. It viii be ready for op-
Grafton by Saturday night, and with
this appliance all mining in the fu-
ture viii be conducted on the five
points on the system, which will give
some idea Of the magnitude of the
work projected on this great under
taking.
In recent development on the 200
foot level of the Ticonderoga, some
important determinations have been
made in two old shoots lying at a
point above the said level where a
good grade of ore in a strong vein
has been cut into. From these work
ings the recent mill yield is the best
indication of the values contained. In
the face of this drift that is being run
to the west side lines Of the Ticondero-
ga ground, the showing also continues
to improve as distance is gained and
depth reached. AT another point on
the system, in Ticonderoga No. 2,
drifting to the west is also being prose-
cuted to reach the Independence lead
where established ore bodies are known
to be in place from what has been
heretofore accomplished.
The method of handling the extern
sive interests of this company and the
recent development of a new body Of
ore on the 4OO-foot level of the Divi-
dend ground, gives this company a
strong standing. The mill is running
steadily on full shift of tWenty-four
hours, and an abundance of ore is
available for future treatment. In
few days steam power viii be discard
ed and the surface and underground
workings propelled entirely by electri-
cal power.

OIL MAN TURNS TABLE
ON NEVADA JUMPERS

BAKERSFIELD, July 15.-C. C.
Pierce, whose desert land was "lOcat-
ed by the Nevada jumpers, has turned
trick on the intruders that has
caused no end of amusement across
the river. The jumpers, to make good,
had a lot of valuable lumber hauled
onto the land. When Mr.. Pierce heard
of the invasion of his property he went
out and took possession, backing his
position by some arguments that ap-
peared inCOntroVertibe.
The jumpers fodght shy. apparently
having no stomach to face the sttua-
tion as 1t was made by Pierce, and
so the matter stood for some days.
But those piles of lumber were still
there, and as Mr.. Pierce looked them
over he concluded he needed house
on the land. He had some men on
hand who were waiting for employ
ment, and he supplied them with saws
and hammers and nails and the work
of construction began. The house is
now up and it is a very good house
too, and inexpensive.
The locaters, who style themselves
the Kern Maverick Oil company, have
begun to drill on the land of Mrs. Nc
Cray. The rig is up and an 1S-inch
hole has been started. But Mr.. Nc
Cray has not been idle. 1t is ex-
pected that by tomorrow an injunc-
tion will be secured that will stop the
jumpers In the meantime the owner
will begin to put on water from his
pumping plant, making ready for tree
planting in the late fall. The McCrays
are not worried by the situation and
confidently hope to hold their own.
Mr.. McCray has received a personal
letter from John Hays Hammond, in
which the mining man emphatically
denies that he has aught to do with
the Nevada crowd.
