DIVING ACT A SUCCESS.

Nothing the Casino Theater manage

Vile theater would have hit the nail

1t was a genuine success-the premiere
of these marvellous divers and posers.
1t was impossible to present the act at
the matinee owing to the incomplete
condition of the 7.50o-gallon water tank
in which the artists perform. Even

THRILLING RESCUE
At RISK OF LIFE MAN RECEIVERS
GIRL FROM SITUATION OF
GREAT DANGER.
HAPPENINGS OVER THE STATE
what Is Going On Here and There
That Is Of Interest to the Read
ers Throughout South Da.
kota and Vicinity.

Rapid City.-To pluck a girl from
the back of a runaway horse and
thus save her life, and both escape
injury, was the feat performed by a
young man named tom" Cassidy,
who resides here. Miss Lorine Rob-
ins, a well known Rapid City young
lady, was riding on horseback when
the animal became frightened and
ran away. Cassidy SAY the danger
the young woman was in, and, jumping
from the horse which he himself was
riding, he, as the runaway horse APP
preached, grabbed it by the neck and
hung on until it was possible to re-
lease the young m from her per-
ilous position. This he did by taking
her from the back of the horse while
it was still running, after which he
let go of the animals neck and it
fled onward. Those who witnessed
the thrilling. rescue declare it sur
passed anything in the rescue line
that had ever come to their knowledge.

TRYING AIRsHIPs IN JAPAN
Little Headway 10 Accomplished and
Ohicers Are Sent Abroad to

Tokio.-Japan is taking an increased
interest in aerial navigation. Recent
ly special officers were dispatched to
study the science Of navigating air.
ships and aeroplanes have been i'm.
ported by the authorities, and expert.
ments in flight are being made daily.
So far. no great skill has been at
tanned by Japanese aeronauts either
in invention or in handling these ma
chimes.
A man named Yamada has invented
IN airship which is, to all intents and
purposes, a copy of those used abroad.
His ascents SO far have not been much
more important than those made in
balloons. The officers experimenting
with the recently imported aeroplanes
had some difficulty in getting the ma
chimes to rise, and when one of them
did SO. 1t made such a rapid descent
as practically to reduce 1t to q wreck.
One Of the aeroplanes did. however,

BREEDING OF POLICE DOGS
Prussian Diet Appropriates $3.50 for
Purpose Of Training Animate
Complete Records Kept.

Berlin.-To equip q breeding and
training establishment for police dogs
the new Prussian budget makes a irst
appropriation of $500. The German
opinion Ia that the most easily edu-
Gated and the most suitable dogs for
police work are the German native
sheep dog and the English Airedale
terrier.
One of the largest and most power
full breeds, and a national dog of Ger
many, the Great Dane or German
boarhound, has been tried, but without
success. 1t is deficient in seeming
abilities, and as 1t is very excitable
1t is liable to get out of hand, and be-
cause of its size and strength become
more dangerous than useful.
The training Of police dogs is thor
oughly carried out in Germany. The
German police officer is supplied with
a form in which to record particulars
Of the tracking work done by his
charge. Details of the weather, the
nature of the ground and the charac-
ter OF the dogs worth are to be sup
Piled, while the quantity and kind of
food given to the dog and the circum-
stances under which the animal can
best do its work are all to be noted.
Records Of failures a. well as reports
a successes are to bs written down.

town armed with seven or eight search
warrants. Their departure was shroud-

office the next morning would indicate
that there had been big doings.
They searched a gambling joint at
Lake Andes and one at Ravinia and a
Bookkeeping establishment at the last

morning with a couple of sacks Of
poker chips, a number of poker tables,
enough cards to last an ordinary man

PUDDING is COMPLEX
American Investigator Describes Fa-
nous Dessert az Mixture Of Fruit,
Fluids and Spices.

London.-"A smoking. aromatic,
complex compound of fruits and fluids,
nuts and Spices" Is the definition Of
plum pudding given by an American
commercial agent in q report to head
quarters.
English plum pudding. says j. M.
Carson. the United States government
agent In question. remains, unlike the
roast beef Of old England. q distinct

become Of sufficient importance In the
foreign trade Of the kingdom as to

"The national CONNECTION" goes on

cupies the personal attention Of the
thoughtful housewife, but not to the
extent Of former years, because SCI
ence has intruded upon the domestic
economies and ingenious mechanism

other kitchen utensils that used to be

"The manufacture of plum pudding
-WAACu, ny the way, contains no
plums-is an infant industry of much
promise. 1t is mainly confined to
London, and is carried on by all the
principal bakeries, de~licatessen and
other establishments.
THE industry was given a great
boom by the Boer war. Thousands
OF pounds of plum pudding were sem
out, but the demand was far in excess
Of the supply.
"The extent and magnitude OF the
trade today may be inferred from fig
ures furnished by n Of the several
large manufacturers. The firm, in or

mas, used the following materials and

Surveys Not Right.

Pierre.-The people of the north
western part of the state are begin
ming to make complaint as to the gov
eminent contract surveys in that Sec
ton. When the land was surveyed 1t
was not considered to be very valua-
BILE, and the same care al not used
as might be in older sections, as a
result claims are made that n
settler gets more than his 100 acres,
while another gets less. In fact the
survey work on public lands, all by
contract, appears to have been unsat-
i%sfactory. The last legislative SEES
sion provided by legislation for resur-
veys for the purpose of taxation, to
charge against a man the taxes for
the acreage he really owns instead of
160 acres or quarter section" as there
Is considerable range in many of them.
1t is alleged that in some of the early
surveys in the territory the work was
done by tying a rag to a spoke in a
wagon wheel, and the necessary revo-
lutions counted for distance, while an
other man with a transit kept course"
as a third drove according to his in
structions. The Indians on Grow Creek
reservation say the work was done on
that reserve in the winter, and the
section were built of snow by
the thrifty contractors. While this
may or may not be true, it carries
some evidence of fact for the reason
that the whites who have made pur-
chases claim there is positively moth
ing to be found to in any way mark
many corners on that tract, and if the
marks were not made of snow, they
were but little more substantial, as
they have disappeared and cannot be
located by any surveyor.

NORMAL MIND WITH BIG FEET
That 10 Condition Found In France,
While Exact Opposite 10 True ~
Applied to Women.

Paris.-That the majority Of nor.
NAL minded men have big feet and
most normal minded women small feet
is the latest scientific discovery an
nounced to the world by the Paris
Academy of Sciences. 1t emanates
from Prof. MacAuliffe and Marie, who
for several months have been meas
uring the feet Of French people in all
walks Of life.
They found that only eighteen out
Of every hundred soldiers were small
footed and only twenty-four of every
hundred weak minded men big footed.
On the other hand, they found that
only twenty-three of every hundred
normal women were large footed.
while only eighteen of a hundred weak
witted women were small footed.
This is considered to confirm the
ancient theory that woman is mans
equal, for the cas- that she is his
exact opposite.

LEAVING IT TO THE GUIDE
Bishop Didn't Have Language Equal TO
the Occasion When the Trout
Escaped.

The bishop was an angler and was
keen on trout fishing. Early in the
season, II not the opening day, he re-
sponded to the lure of the ripping
brook. AS he crept softly through the
elder thicket that bordered the
stream he had the good fortune to
hook q trout that put up a stormy
fight. Evidently the fish had no mind
to grace the creel of even an apostolic
expert.
The guide held his breath. It was
not possible for him to get near
enough through the brush to help the
bishop and the enemy. He could only
watch the fight and hope for the best.
The struggle eliminated In q swift
Jerk that landed the dripping old war
rior up In the branches OF . maple
which lowered above the alders-not
an unusual experience for an angler,
but the first of the kind that had fall
en to the lot Of the bishop. Well-he
was always seeking experience and
now he had 1t. This. however. was
different from casting and the result
was dire. The line snapped, the bril-
liant and dashing Fontinalis dropped
back into the brook and with an In
solent wave OF his tail said as plainly
as words, by, by, old boy"
The bishop and guide looked at each
other. Then the bishop said to the
guide In the earnest and appealing
tone with which he was wont to stir
the emotions Of his congregation
"JOhn. Won saw IL"
