Usefulness of Glass

Casually we regard glass as per.
ishable substance. The fragiity of
it, however, is overrated. Some of
the uses to which glass has been put
speak of its strength rather than of
weakness.
1t is some years since a well-known
society woman astonished the world
by wearing a glass dress. Now.
dresses made of glass are no novelty.
Glass carpets, rooms and buildings
are ordinary.
Pavements made of glass are to
be found in Lyons. The French are
enthusiastic over them. They claim
for the glass pavements advantages
over those made of asphalt, stone or
wood.
In Germany water pipes are made
of glass. This is quite an old custom.
A more recent use made by the
Germans of glass is the making Of
telegraph poles. II has been an
immense success.

SCHLEY DROPS DEAD
Hero of Santiago Passes Away
Suddenly in New York

New YORK, Oct. Rear Ad-
miral Winfield Scott Schley dropped
dead today near the corner of 44th
street and Fifth avenue while on his
way town town. The admiral died
before medical aid could reach
him.
Admiral Schley had been out of
town over Sunday and on his return
had gone to the New York Yacht
in West 44th street. After a short
stay at the club Admiral Schley
started to walk along 44th street
toward Fifth avenue when he was
taken suddenly ill.
Near the Berkeley theater, Ad-
miral Schley started across the street
and as he stepped up on the curb
passersby saw him fall.
Several persons rushed to his aid
and traffic policemen sent in a hurried
call for physicians and an ambulance,
but Admiral Schley died before the
ambulance arrived.
At the beginning of the Spanish
War in 1898, Admiral Schley was in
command of the Flying Squadrnn."
His squadron stood before Santiago

miral Cervera, undertook to escape.
The ensuing battle resulted in the
completed destruction of the Spanish
fleet. Admiral Sampson was away
on his flagship. New York, at the
time of the battle, but he tried to
take away the honor of victory from
Admiral Schley.

The Brute

Man is an animalA If it were
not for Christianity and civilization,
he would be more dangerous than
the beast of the jungle. He is more
dangerous whenever religion and
civilization fail to appear or when
they cease to exist.
The Ten Commandments were
born when religion was horn. They
were the foundation of the law then,
and they are the foundation of the
common law today. Take away the
law, and anarchy prevails. Over
ride the law. and brute force super
sedes the judgment of the Court
and verdict Of the jury.
Bereft of reason, operating under
no law and under no sense of re-
straint. man becomes the most
dangerous of all wild animals. The
helpless are robbed, the virtuous
outraged, the innocent lynched.
The stake and scaffold usurp the
place of the bench. Reason gives
way to revenge, justice to injustice,
religion to impiety and civilization
to barbarism.

SEED WHEAT

We have in transit a carload of
genuine Bluestem wheat. This
wheat cost us very high price, but
we are willing to pay in order to get
the farmer planting this grade of
wheat. We will sell you Bluestem
wheat at $2,40 per cwt., and will
guarantee you not less than $l.50
for every hundred you offer us next
season. We will not guarantee you
over $1.40 for the Sonora wheat
which is now being raised in the
Valley. We will pay you 10 cents
per hundred more for Bluestem when
raised than we will pay for Sonora.
We will buy from you today all the
Sonora wheat which you have at
81 60 per cwt., and will sell you seed
of Bluestem variety at $40. thus it
will cost you this year only 80 cents
per acre to plant this grade above
what it would cost you to plant the
old Sonora. Call and see us.

Shakespeare in 1893

What, we wonder, would happen
to the London manager nowadays
who should dare to put on the stage
such version of a Shakespeare
tragedy as was played in Ireland a
hundred years ago? Mrs. Earle in
her recent book, Memoirs and
Memoirs" gives Dublin play bill
Of 1893, which is well worth quoting.
The play was the tragedy of
Hamlet" originally written and
composed by the celebrated Dan
Hayes, of Limerick, and inserted in
Shakespeare's works" The title
role is taken by a gentlman who
solos on the patent bagpipe. which
performs two tunes at the same
time"

GOLDEN JUBILEE AT YANKTON

Yankton-In June, 1911, Yankton
citizens will hold a grand celebra-
ton of the golden anniversary Of
the birth Of the territory Of Da-
kota, which was established in 1861
and which included the present states
of North and South Dakota, Wyoming
and Montana. This semi-centennial
event will be in charge OF old set
tiers, many of whom have been here
from the beginning, the object being
to gather not only the pioneers Of
Yankton, who have drifted to all parts
of the world, but those of all parts Of
the original territory of which Yank-
ton was the first capital. The week
beginning June II will be devoted to
this reunion of the pioneer citizens
of four states, and will be made the
greatest event of its kind in the his
tory of Dakota. Prominent speakers
will be procured, there being many
such among the old pioneers them
selves, and it will be made a week of
great profit to all the homecomers.
That will also be commencement week
of Yankton college, and the college
expects to eclipse its effort of the sill
yer anniversary of its birth on this
occasion. 1t will also be the golden
anniversary of the birth of the Yank-
ton Press and Dakotan and that paper
is planning on celebrating the occa-
sion with an anniversary special.

A Woman's Letter.

Women, 1t is generally admitted.
write better letters than men.
M. Marcel Provost has discovered
the reason for this superiority. "The
obvious meaning Is never the n we
should read into a woman's letter.
There is always a yelled meaning.
Woman makes use Of a letter Just
as she employs a glance or a smile.
In a way that is carefully thought out,
and with an eye to effect. And. after
all, does a woman's hat serve to owe
her head! Does a woman's parasol
keep of the sun? Why, then, should
a woman's letter serve to convey her
real thoughts to the person ad-
dressed, just like letters Of some
honest grocer. who writes: I send you
five pounds Of Coffee because he
really does send you five pounds Of
coffee?"

Evidences of PrOsperity

Mitchell-Portions of this state are
getting to be a great deal like
sections in Illinois and Indiana on
the public sale question, and from
the great number OF auction sales
which are being advertised and held
it has the appearance of a well de-
veloped state. In Dawson county nc
less than 100 sales have been held
and on the list this spring many Of
the farmers moving to this city, 9TH
ers moving to other rented farms and
some, who have made a good stake
on their land, going west to file on
new claims and make another start at
pioneering. Charles Mix county is
said to be the banner county for sales
with a list of over 200. One of the
peculiar features of the public sales
is that 80 per cent Of the stuff that
is bought by the farmers is paid for
in cash right on the spot, and the
bankers who clerk the sale oftimes get
very little in the way of commission
on the paper.
