fought, for Stephens, who, while with
out money himself. has had a generous
fund raised by friends who think that
the killing of young Mackenzie was to
be condoned.
Dode Mackenzie entered the saloon of
a LeBeau man on the morning of Dec

After a few drinks the Mackenzie
crowd left the saloon, but in a short
time the cattle kings son returned

Some words passed between the two
men and Stephens drew an automatic
revolver, the seven shots from which
oil found Judgment in the body of Dode
Mackenzie. He fell to the floor, bleed

fore medical aid could be summoned.
Stephens made no effort to escape
n made no emark about the crime
when told Of the death of his victim.
Just what led to the killing has not

Oldtimers in this vicinity say
they are willing to stake their
reputation on the prediction
that winter practically is over.
They base this prediction upon
the fact that prairie dogs in the
towns" in this region have
commenced to come out of their
winter quarters and can be
seen any nice day frisking
around on top Of the ground.
They declare that the prairie
dogs never come out OF their

STANLEY COUNTY DIVISION
SCHEME LIKELY TO EAIl

Pierre, S. D., March 10.-The county
division microbe has taken so strong
a hold on the people Of western Stan
ley county that it is more than likely
to defeat the particular aim which all
have, that of separating themselves
from the eastern end of the county.
The first plan proposed was to divide
the county into two. which would make
a county about 20 miles each way, and
place Philip near the center. This
had for its purpose the making of
Philip the county seat. But Midland,
and Mhiee atv, b p p 1essf IIiaas1 psi; I
eastern edge OF counties created by
division, strengously objected.
The people in the northwestern cor
ner of the county, with Milesville
boomers back of them, want three
counties, their town having a chance
Tor county seat honors. The people in
the southwestern corner of the county.
along the line of the Milwaukee road,
have a plan for four counties by cut
ting the western a Of Stanley into
three new ones. This would give
kadoka a chance for a county seat.
Then to add to the confusion of ideas,
cottonwood, on the extreme western
edge of Stanley county, proposes talk
ing all that portion of Pennington
county east of the Cheyenne river. and
by adding two tiers of townships off
western Stanley county, make a new
county. This would insure a contest
between Cottonwood, Quinn and Wall
for county seat.
The combinations proposed by am
bltlous towns are so numerous and
keep the situation in such a whirl that
Stanley county bids air to remain the
largest county in the state for some
time TO come

Prof. James, the noted Harvard psy-
chologist who died last week, before
he left the earth promised intimate
associates to help them, solve the
great question which the Society for
Psychological Research has for many
years been trying to elucidate-can
the dead communicate with the liv-
ing through mediums or otherwise?
The late DR.. Richard Hodgson and
Prof. James had essayed many tests
of this, and each had given the other
a message, unknown to anyone else
on earth, which the first to die was
to communicate with the other if.
when he passed beyond the vale, he
found communication possible. AS
far as known Prof. James never re-
ceived the promised message. 1nnu-
merable men of master minds have
doubtless set themselves this same
fruitless task that DR.. Hodgson and
Prof. James essayed. All have failed.
The master minds of this world count
for little beyond the grave.

THE MASSES LIKE GOOD MUSIC.
Ragtime Not Most Popular With New
York Crowds at Municipal Concerts.

This summers experience has
proved conclusively that the New
York crowds will accept the great mu
sic of the world as readily as the
ephemeral music of the day." said Ar
thur Harwell, supervisor of munich
pal music in the parks and on the
docks.
This has been a particularly inter
esting municipal music season in New
York City because it has been sea
son of experiment. The experiments
were launched by Park Commissioner
Stover, Dock Commissioner Tompkins
and Supervisor Farwell, who believed
! that the time had come to elevate the
standard of the open air musical pro-
grams By the introduction of much
larger proportion of great music than
has ever been included in the pro.
grams before.
1T is extremely interesting how re.
markably everywhere the audiences
have risen to the best music when it
is played to them properly-that is,
with enough life and spirit. This sum-
mer's experiences have proved con-
clusively that the crowds are as much
delighted with the great music as with
the ephemeral music of the day if suf-
ficient life is put into it by a capable
leader.
'One of the interesting features of
this summers music has been the
performance of little known orches-
tral scores written by American COM
posers. Commissioner Slower has
made it rule that each of the orches-
tras shall perform one new or little
known work by an American compos-
er each week. The otshcraresaOino
of each week. The orchestras have
taken hold of the matter with a will
and several compositions of consid-
cradle magnitude and importance
have been given for the first time
in New York, and some of them for
the first time anywhere.-New York

The labor party OF England is not
exactly satisfied with the expense OF
maintaining a king, and are preparing
for renewal of their fight against
the eXorbitant bill there is to pay in
this respect when Parliament reas-
sembles. They contend that the
kings services are worth no more
than those of a good president in a
republic, and cite that firstclass
president can be obtained for 100000
a year. The nine years OF Edward
reign cost England nearly six million
dollars a year. This seems heavy
burden to the wage-earner.

Some Don'ts for Mothers.

Don't let yourself grow old in feel
lngs. 1t means growing away from
your children and bitter, lonely hours
Don't let yourself rust mentally. The
growing girl and boy who can have
mother help them out in tight place
in their lessons, or can come to her for
clear answer to perpleXing Gues,
ton, rarely get that disagreeable
know-it-all air so common to young
America.
Don't try to force your children's
confidence. If from the start you
have tried to be a chum of your child
the confidence will be given unsolicit-
ed; those that are asked are given
grudgingly and with sense of re-
sentiment, if not actually refused.
Don't let your children see that Won
are disappointed in them. There is
no surer road to self consciousness
and don't care attitude than if the
boy or girl feels that mother thinks
him failure
Don't, on the other hand, think your
progeny prodigies. If the child knows
he isn't. he is conscious of embarrass-
ment and being under strain: if he
agrees with the maternal opinion he
becomes insufferably conceited.
Don't, whatever else you do or leave
undone. don't nag. There is no surer
love destroyer than a mother who
never lets up, who magnifies trifies,
who is chronic fault finder and
scold. The children of such a mother
rarely are found in the home-if they
can get out Of it.-Commercial Trib
une.

LARGEST CIRCULATION
IN BOONE COUNTY.
THE GOOD ROADS PROBLEM.

The promise now is that none of
the rural postal routes leading out of
Columbia will be discontinued by rea-
son of the poor highways. Postmas-
ter Remley has used his powers to
obtain all the time possible for the
farmers to put the roads in passable
condition. There ought to be more
systematic method of assuring good
highways than to depend upon the far
mers along the way. But while this
custom prevails, here are some sug-
gestions from a farmer in Ohio which
might be applied equally we'll in Mis-
souri,:
Let the township trustees divide the
roads in their jurisdiction into short
sections. apportioning section to
each farmer, who would assume the
responsibility of keeping the same in
order. Each man would, of course,
be given the section Immediately ad
joining his farm and most convenient
to him, so that no time would be lost
in going to remote parts OF the town.
ship and no complaints could be made
by any one that he was taken away
from his own road work to work his
time. Under our present system ev-
cry citizen between the ages of twen-
ty-one and fifty-five years is charged
with the poll tax or two days labor
on the highways. Under the plan
proposed let them be instructed by the
road superintendent to go on the
roads, each on his own section, as
soon as the frost is out, with drag
and let this be repeated after heavy
rains during the spring and summer,
whenever the road shows any tenden-
cy to develop ruts or chuck-holes.
Once or twice during the year it may
be found necessary to go over each
section and remove the loose stones
and deposit them in piles along the
roadside where they may be hauled
away and used in repair or construc-
tion work.
Let the trustees offer liberal prize,
say $25, for the best kept section, SIS
for the second and $40 for the third
best. 1t is perfectly safe to say that
$50 thus used would result in more
real good to the roads than any other
equal amount expended on them.
Now some of the advantages of this
plan will readily suggest themselves
In the first place the plan is based
upon the principle of constant super
vision and continuous maintenance,
principle which is really essential to
permanently good roads. The agen-
cies of disintegration and destruction
are constantly at work everywhere
and must be met and counteracted
by equally constant efforts to repair
and maintain. Everybody recognizes
the truth of this principle in other
things and We must awaken to its i'm
portance in road maintenance also. 1t
has been demonstrated by actual ex-
pertinent that a half mile section OF
road can be thoroughly dragged by
one man and team in two hours or
less. One days work with team
therefore. would drag such a section |
five times. which is more than would !
ordinarily be required in one year.
1t is thus seen that the two days la
Dor alone would provide for the !
maintenance of smooth
road surface, including the removal
of all loose stones, leaving the cash
-oad fund intact for repairs and new
