DR.. ]. ]. REILLY
GETS ten YEARS
MILTON PHYSICIAN FOUND GUILTY.
Mss MlLIIE CANDE IS SET AT
\ LIBERTY By THE COURT

Langdon, N. D., July II. Miss
Millie Gande accused jointly with
Dr.. j. j. Reilly of Milton in con-
nection with the death of Mrs.
VIM. Drury of Osnabrock was to-
day given her freedom, this action
being taken simultaneously with
the pronouncing of a sentence up
on the physician of ten years in the
state penitentiary.
The end of DR.. Reilly's trial
came with suddenness that sur
prised even those interested. Satur-
day morning the ross-examination
of DR.. Reilly took up the entire
morning and at noon the defense
suddenly rested. Drs. Law of
Munich and Hannah were put on
the stand for rebuttal testimony by
the state and the evidence was then
ended.
A verdict was entirely unexpect-
ed at least until morning, as those
interested waited until l o'clock
and then Judge Burr retired, pre-
sumably for the night, as nothing
was heard from the jury, and it
was thought they would deliberate
for hours before finally agreeing.
Shortly before 3 this morning,
however, word was telephoned to
Judge Burr by the bailiff that q
verdict had been reached and he
hurried to the court house where
the twelve men had fled into the
court room with the foreman hold
ing the verdict in his hand.
Before the verdict was read,
Reilly had nothing to say and he
bore up we'll wnen it reached his
ears that he must serve ten years
at hard labor, unless something
interviewed.
An appeal will be taken i'm
medlately, according to Attorney
Price.

WHAT won SIDNEY GAME.
Sentorian R.stins. By Ed. Holt Blight
Monlana's Hopes Sunday

Since tne Sidney game Ed. HoItz
the Hawkeye tonsorial artist at
Seibert's shop has been carrying
his voice in sling. The returned
fans say that the broad Montana
plateaus over about Sidney, are
still reverbeating with the wild
whoops and encouraging yells that
eminated from the stentorian
throat of the ex-Iowan.
That's the way We all holler in
Cedar Rapids" said Holtz. why
the time we trimmed Waterloo you
could have heard us holler at
Kansas City, = and leaning back he
let out another yell that split space
from zenith to nidar. Oscar Bell
holds out the theory that it was
too fast riding in the wind that
put Holtz's vocal tract on the bum
and claims his throat would be IN
like fix if he had not piled off at
Mondak and came home BY the
Great Northern.

SCHOOL NOTES.
EDITORS Earle born.

School opened Monday, after our
much enjoyed vacation, with but
few exceptions all the pupils are in
their places ready for work. The
Senior president has expressed much
Joy at the close of the football sea-
son and hopes we will no longer have
need to mourn the lack of boys at
the class meetings.
Ralph Rumley, who is preparing
to enter the engineering department
at Ames, enrolled in High School as
a senior this week.
Miss Moore, who has been absent
for two weeks on account of sick
ness, Is not recovering as rapidly as
expected. Her sister, Miss Hazel,
a student at Cedar Falls, who is
home on vacation, is filling the
vacancy.
Miss Crawford spent Thanksgiv-
ing at Sewall.
Elsie Pierce, of Miss Benefits
room, is dangerously i'll at her home
in Van Vert.
Both buildings were thronged
with visitors last Wednesday, at
tending the Thanksgiving programs
which were reported as having been
very good.
There was a large crowd in at
tendance at the foot ball game last
Thursday, which West High Seconds
won by a score of II to O; one touch
down being made in the first quarter
- on fumbled punt which Beck, the
right end, recovered and ran 20
yards, placing the ball across the
line for the first score. The other
touch down came in the third quar-
ter when Beck intercepted forward
pass and ran about 70 yards. This
ended the scoring as they failed to
kick goal Sears tore around left
end for a As yard gain in the begin
ing of the game but shortly after
ward was severely injured and
forced to retire from the field.
Brown was shifted to half and Dorm
finished the quarter at his old place,
Sears coming back in the second
quarter and playing his usual star
game. West failed to gain through
the line or around the ends and re-
sorted to punting, their short, low
kicks being very hard to handle, and
their fast ends recovered a number
of them for good gains. Gittinger
was our star on defense, breaking
through their lines and downing
their backs in their tracks. Leeper
also did good work along the line.
In the evening the team was enter
tanned at the P. E. O. Hall, by the
High School and all expressed them -
selves as having had splendid time
and wished they might be permitted
to return next year.

have been sold than is now anticipat-
ed by the Department of Tubercu-
losis.
Cedar Rapids, Clinton, Dubuque,
Davenport, Muscatine, Ottumwa,
Burlington, Fort Dodge, Waterloo,
and Sioux City are contesting with
each other to see which shall dispose
of the most seals. Many of the
smaller cities are also in a neck and
neck race to see which shall dispose
of the greatest number of seals per
capita.
In some instances, consignments
of seals have already been sold and
others ordered and general spirit
of enthusiasm seems to be dominant
throughout the state.
Already the Department has
placed more than 100000 seals
which based upon past experience,
means that perhaps 100000 seals
will be sold during the holiday sea-
son.

A Proclamation.

1t is we'll known that at this sea-
son of the year, business assumes
vast proportions eliminating in a
veritable crush during the holiday
week, entailing heavy physical and
nervous strain upon scores of women,
young girls and children employed
in the shops and stores. This heart
breaking overstrain is frequently fol-
lowed by the sickness of some of
those so employed which is greatly
to be regretted. Much pain and sor-
row will be avoided if all of our peo-
pie who can will do their Christmas
shopping early in December, thus
helping to deepen the Joy of the holt
day season.
I therefore, do remind and urge
our people who can, to do their
Christmas shopping early.
Respectfully,
Jas. F. Harvey,
Mayor.

Kryl Concert Company Coming.

Mr.. Kryl on this concert tour will
be assisted by his daughter, jose
phine, who has made sensation as
violinist on her previous tours. Miss
Ferne Grambling, famous soprano,
VINO last season was member of
the Chicago Grand Opera Company,
and Marie Kryl, who last season
made tour in eastern cities, scoring
a big success, with Jaroslay Kocian,
the famous Bohemian violinist.
When the late Gen. Lew Wallace
had written Ben Hur" and found
that he had created a masterpiece,
there came demand that his feat
enduring marble. Gen. Wallace con-
sented, and search was made for the
man best fitted to do the work.
Choice fell on a young Bohemian
Bohmuir Kryl, then engaged on the
great battle monument in Indianap-
oils, whose carving had attracted
wide attention. Kryl went to Craw-
= fordsville, and the world knows with
what success the task was carried
out. 1t was about the last piece of
sculpture that Kryl did, and the
best. Immediately thereafter, at
the suggestion of Sousa, Kryl laid
down the chisel forever, and adopt
ed the cornet as his future instru-
ment of artistic expression. There
by the world lost fine sculptor,
but gained the greatest cornetist it
had ever known-and who shall say
that the world is not the richer for
the exchange? For sculpture is for
tho very few and the very rich, but
the divine notes of Kryl's golden
.cornet have charmed millions, and
have been as free as the air which
/ floats them.
@ On Dec. 18th at Leon, Kryl and
his concert company will play here
and the musical treat due us is al
ready foreshadowed by the enthusi-
astic reports from previously favor
ed cities. -,
