A|RMAN LANDS ON
HOTEL DINING ROOM
CRASHES THROUGH sKYIJGHT
WHEN HE FAILS TO CON-
TROL PARACHUTE SUP.
PORTING HIM.

Atlantic City, n. J.-Charles Rem
nett. a parachute jumper. was prob
ably mortally injured when he fell
through the skylight over the dining
room of the Marlborough Hotel. His
skull is fractured and he has had
cuts and bruises. He was picked up
by dinner guests and rushed to the
city hospital Of block away.
Bennett. who assembled from the
Million Dollar Pier. %applauded by a
big crowd, shot up to an altitude es-
timated at fifteen hundred feet.
There he executed a double para
chute drop that stirred the thousands
along the Boardwalk and Beach.
When he cut loose from the balloon
he shot down several hundred feet
before the umbrella top, on which
he had staked his life, opened. Half
way to earth he opened the second
parachute, and again seemed to be
plunging to his death.
When about a thousand feet from
the Boardwalk, the parachute opened
but was swayed dangerously by ar
air current. The parachute sailed
along several blocks and was caught
in a strong breeze which carried
Bennett toward the spires of the big
hotels. He just missed the towers of
the Hotel Traymore. A current
sweeping between that and the Marl-
borough Blenheim twisted the craft
until it seemed that the youth would
be pitched On the heads of the people
below. Persons who had been
watching him rushed for cover.
BY twists Of his body Bennett
managed to swing the parachute
around the Marlborough Blenheim
towers, but a current of air sweeping
downward caught him and he was
thrown on the glass roof. The speed
with which he struck the glass car
ried him through and he lanLed on
tables in the room below. Guests
scattered from the flying glass and
then ran to his assistance.

FOR TWO YEARS THE BIRDS
ARE ABUNDANT FOR SEA.
son SHOOTING,

For the first time in two years
hunters will be permitted to hunt
prairie chickens, the law being out
Sept. 10. and it is anticipated that
there will be many hundreds of IL
censes taken out in many counties
of the state to take advantage of the
chicken shooting. However, there
will be but thirty days of the shoot
ing, as the law closes the shooting of
chickens on the night Of Oct. 8. Each
hunter will be ALLOWED 10 birds a
day. and will be allofed but twenty
birds in his possession at one time.
With the season closed for two. years
the chickens have multiplied in great
numbers and farmers over the state
say that the birds Mill be very plen-
tifui this year. With the closing of
the chicken seasonPn Oct. 9. the duck
season opens and will remain so un-
til next April. The season is still
closed against the shooting of quail
and the ban will not be raised on
them until the|fall of 1913. The
quail had just ftarted to gain a resi-
dence in the state when the hunters
landed on thdn and nearly wiped
them out of @istence, hence the sea
son was clos6d until they could get
another staF. BY increased number
of hunters fesiring to shoot chickens
this fall thf game fund of the state
and of thg counties will be very
largely increased.

Pierre, S. D.-The game warden's
department estimates the. number of
hunting LICENCES which will be taken
out this year at 10000, and blanks
to supply that number have been
sent out to the county treasurers of
the state. The department issued
thirty thousand gun licenses last
year, and as grouse and prairie chick
en- can be hunted this year after FIVE
years protection. it is believed that
a far greater number Of licenses will
be taken out than for former years.
These birds arc reported to be plen-
tiful in many sections of the state, as
the past two years have been favor
able for their Feeding, especially SO
this year with but few rains in May
and June when the Matching season
was on. The open season will be
from September 10th to October
10th.

BLAME HOUSEWIVES
FOR HIGH MEAT PRICES
BUTCHERS SAY MANY Oh
CHEAPER CUTS WILL MAKE
PALATAELE DISHES OF
PROPERLY COOKED.

Pittsburg, Pa. = Ignorance of
housewives is responsible for much
of the clamor against the high price
of meat. say prominent delegates in
attendance at the convention of the
United Master Butchers of America,
which Is holding its second days ses-
sion in Pittsburg today. A majority
of women think that only the high
priced meats arc valuable as food
and act accordingly, then blame the
poor dealer because of their bills.
Many of the cheaper cuts, say the
butchers, are Just as palatable ani
nutritious as any. The despised
chuck, for instance. one of the
cheapest portions of the beef, makes
a most excellent dish when cooked
slowly in 4 small amount of water
and either with or without vegeta-
bles for seasoning.
1t should be remembered, say the
butchers. that if too much heat is
used in stewing meat it renders the
tibres tougher. Another error of the
average cook, it is alleged, lies in
overlooking the meat until it be-
cones shredded.
Skirt steak, it is said, sells for two
or three cents a pound less than
others. but if properly cooked is full
~ as good. Proper cooking includes
scoring the steak we'll with a chop
ping knife. Then dredge with flour
anti place in a frying pan that is
smoking hot and has been creased
sufficiently to prevent the meat
from %adhcring to it. When the
steak is we'll scared over on both
sides pour over it a little boiling
water and permit it to simmer Slow
ly for two hours. A bit of onion or
carrot and a little vinegar to soften
the fibre will add to the flavor of the
meat.
Don't forget. say the experts, that
in roasting meat it should be rapidly
scared over to retain the valuable
Juices, the principal nutritive prop
critics, and then cooked slowly until
done. Usually fifteen minutes to the
pound is the proper time.

Governor Wesley has received
word from the officers. of the North
western Development League that
the business interests of st, Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth have agreed
to a deal whereby South Dakota will
be furnished exhibit space without
cost at the land show. The show to
be under the auspices of the league
is the only one in the county which
is not a private enterprise and will
be managed in such a way as to fur
nish space for official exhibits.
AT a cost of ten thousand dollars
the business interests Of the three
Minnesota cities have bought from
the league $500 square feet Of pre-
ferred space at the show. Each OF
the seven states will have a space OF
fifty feet long and ten feet wife for
their official exhibit.
The governor has been asked to
confer with officers Of the league in
this state and secure the interest of
those necessary to- put in an exhibit
which will be credit to the state. I'm
der this plan no one community or
city will have an advantage over
others in the state. Any city, county
or land company desiring to make
and independent exhibit will be able
to. secure a limited amount of space
near the state exhibit on reasonable
terms, but it is the desire of the
league officers for this state that the
best possible exhibit be made in the
name of the state as it is from such
an exhibit that results are to be OBJ
tanned.
The seven states which are to be
thus represented are Washington.
Oregon, Idaho, Montana, North and
South Dakota and Minnesota. No
other states will have exhibits and
Canadian exhibits will be barred, the
whole idea of the show being IAN ex-
position by the seven states for the
benefit Of the seven states alone
South Dakota officers Of the
League are Robert S. vessey of
Pierre and John D.. Deets Of Pierre.
Inquiries about the South Dakota ex-
hibit should be addressed to them

MAKING FINE GROWTH
pKEsHYTERIANs MAKE LARGE
GAINS DURING THE LAST YEAR
DESPITE THE MERGER.

Philadelphia, Pa. - The large
Presbyterian body, that Of the
north, has just issued its report for
last year. In membership it has re-
gained all it lost following the Cum
berland Presbyterian merger and
$4,000 members besides. In 1907,
when the Cumberland people came
in, there was a jump in the mem-
beship figures of $4,000, followed
the next year by a setback of 1000.
Some Cumberlal.ds, notably some in
Tennessee, refused to stay united.
Now the membership has reached
1,354,453, or much higher than CIV
er before. The net gain last year
was $500. The whole number OF
churches is 1O,O51, the highest num-
Der eve reached. The Sunday school
enrolment is now 1,2o5,130. In pre-
portion to membership of the church
this the highest obtaining in any of
the large religious bodies. A few
small bodies have as many children
in the Sunday schools as members
in their churches. but the larger
bodies have often heartily more than
half as many. The proportion of
Presbyterians is 1,205,13O to 1884,
453.
large Contributions.
Contributions of Presbyterians last
year amounted to $25 $500, 900, or
next to Methodists. the largest of
any religious body in America. This
is $40 and trifle more per member,
which is the highest average ave
one. the Episcopalians averaging al
most exactly $40 per member. This
Presbyterian showing of gifts for
last year is $4,000. 900 in excess of
the previous year. and 1910 was the
largest total up to that date.
OF the nearly S26 100000 given
by the Presbyterians last year to all
causes, S6.3OO,O 900 went to missions.
In even figures 100000 600 went to
missions under the regular boards,
and $4,000, 900 to other missionary

perance. To foreign missions alone
was given s2,500,O0o. The cost to
maintain all Presbyterian churches
in continental United States last

year.
