IN ANETA CASE

Lakota, N. D., Feb. 4.-The sensa'
tional evidence connecting Louis Sum-
merfield with the murder of Kenneth
Mckenzie of Aneta, failed to mater
ialize at the preliminary hearing here
today before Justice Folger. The al
legged confession was said to have
been made by Clyde sperry, Of Aneta,
to States Attorney s. G. Skulason,
but young Sperry was not even placed
on the witness stand. All the evil
dence introduced was that of the
father of the boy, telling of the dying
statement of his son that two men
were his assailants. There was
nothing in the statement that con-
nected Summerfield with the crime.
The only other witness examined was
DR.. barrow who testified as to the
cause of death. The state rested
and Summerfeld was at once dis
missed.
Sperry's story, made public by
States Attorney Skulason, was SEN
sational one, in which he was alleged
to have told all the circumstances OF
pouring kerosene from the lantern,
which the Mckenzie boy was carrying,
over the unfortunate lad. The flames
Immediately burst out and inflicted
the burns which resulted in the death
of young Mckenzie. According to
the statement made public, fear had
sealed the Sperry Boys lips until the
time the confession was made.
States Attorney S. G. Skulason
stated this evening that the witness
Sperry had gone wrong" Further
than this he had no statement to
make and said that there were no
further developments in the case in
sight,

BIRTH Of i WING.
Evolution Of the Aquatic Pupa Into the
DRAGON Fly.


Dragon Fly.
Says a writer in the Scientific Amer.
lean: "A wonderful spectacle is pre-
sented by the sudden apparition Of
an insects wing at the completion Of
its metamorphosis. The transforma.
ton Of the grub into the butterfly.
though familiar, Is none the less amaz-
ing. but the evolution Of the active and
gossamer winged dragon fly from it's
ugly and sluggish aquatic pupa is still
more impressive. Early on a May morn.
ing the pupa emerges from its cocoon
at the bottom Of ditch, swims on its
back by padding with its long haired
paws to the stem Of an aquatic plant
and climbs up out Of the water. Then,
after a momentary pause, the skin
suddenly bursts open and the perfect
insect appears, with closely folded
wings, which soon unfold and assume
their final form.
1.-THE older naturalists thought that
the insect swallowed air. with which
the wings were inflated. In reality
the air is absorbed in the digestive
organs, causing an increased blood
pressure, which mechanically expands
the wings. The presence Of dew is
also necessary; hence the first fight is
always made at dawn.
This spectacle Of the birth Of q
wing may be observed in dragon flies
reared in an aquarium, the atmos-
phere of which should be moistened
with an atomizer when the pupa rises
to the surface"

Self Reliance.

The spirit of self help Is the root Of
all genuine growth In the individual,
and, exhibited In the lives Of many, 1t
constitutes the true source Of national
vigor and strength. Help from with
out Is often enfeebling in It's effects,
but help from within invariably fnvig-
crates. Whatever is done for men or
classes to certain extent takes away
the stimulus and necessity Of doing for
themselves. and where men are sub
jected to overguidance and overgovern-
ment the inevitable tendency Is to rem
der them comparatively helpless.-Sam-

Ego.


An ego Is a I.atinized I. All men
are created egos and endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable some
things Of which neither statute, ukase,
edict, injunction, beggar, magnate
book agent nor promoter can deprive
them. He who steals my purse steals
trash, but he who filches from me my
ego takes that of which he already
has enough and makes me not at all.
Women without votes have egos
and, strangely enough, would still
have them If they secured the votes;
hence egos are not political issue.
An ego Is what a man is when he
has nothing and Is nothing else; that
Is to say, he is then first person singu-
lar and no particular gender.
An ego Is neither soul, body, spirit,
family, country nor race. It is neither
moral nor pathological. A criminal has
just as much ego as a parson and no
more. Some egos are better than
others, chiefly our own.-Life.
