OLD DAWSON COUNTY
OFFICER INVOLVED IN
S@CANDALOUS AFFAIRS
Wife Ends Her Life With Car
bolic Acid Because of Her
Mistreatment.

Mitchell, S. d., Sept. 5.--Driyen to
desperation through the neglect of her
husband, Mrs. Luther Plotner COM
mitted suicide Saturday night by talk
ing a dose of carbolic acid and passed
away Sunday morning. There has
been domestic trouble in the Plotner
family for some time. Late in the aft
ernoon Mrs. Plotner started downtown
with the intention, it is stated, of av-
Ing her husband placed under a peace
BOND because of the threats he had
made. She met him at a corner street
in the residence district n they
talked there for an hour. On separat-
ing Mrs. Plotner returned to the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Boone, ard
where she has been staying, and on
entering h house said that she was
tired. She o a bottle of carbolic
acid and a glass from the cupboard
and went to the toilet. Remaining an
unnecessary length of line a neigh
Dor went out to find Mrs. Plotner in
an unconscious condition, with q three
ounce bottle empty lying by her side.
She was removed to the house and
later passed away.
Plotner came to the hpuse shortly
after his Wlfe's DEATH, but was re-
fused admittance. A warrant was is
sued for his arrest to place him under
- NoN poIIIi Il-sI .ttGii IIOI DE dD-
pretended.
Plotner was a former sheriff of Day
lson county, n while holding office
became enamored of Mrs. Kate Quinn,
ana with whom he has been associated
Tor the past year or two. A little over
a year & Mrs. Quinn's husband COM
mitted suicide by taking carbolic acid.
Last spring Plotner, while in the Black
Hills country, took a dose of aud
anum, but he claimed it was not with
suicidal intent. In April Plotner and
his wife, his father and mother, and
his daughter and her husband went
to Spokane, Wash, where he went
into business. He sold out and left
there early in June, the rest of the
family remaining. He came to Mitch
ell a month age and the Quinn woman
also came back about the same time.
Ten days ago the remaining members
OF the Plotner family came back to this
city and their arrival was the first
intimation they had of the presence of
the younger Plotner in the city.
There is much indignation expressed
by the citizens at the treatment plot
ner has shown his wife, and after Mrs
Plotner a taken the acid and it was
learned she could not live, Plotner is
reported to have been taken out of
town to prevent any demonstration
against him. He, however, was seen
IN the city today. The funeral services
over Mrs Plotner will be held this aft
ernoon at the Congregational church
will be under the auspices of the
of which she was an hon
ored member.
The last six months Plotner held
the position of sheriff, efforts were
started to remove him from office on
account of his actions and his neglect
of business, as he remained away from
the city several months at a time.

DEATH OF WOMAN TO BE MADE
SUBJECT OF INVESTIGATION

Lennon, S. D., Sept. 4.-Who is re,
sponsible for the death of Mrs. Maurice
Lynch. at Lennon, is a question thai
a Perkins county jury may be called
upon to decide at the next term OF the
circuit court in Bison. Along with that
question they ma also be asked to de-
termine whether death was due to muir
der or to criminal carelessness. AT the
present stage of investigation, the lat
ter seems the mildest verdict OF which
the circumstances will admit. The
known facts, concerning which there
appears to be no disputs are hat Mrs
Lynch died on Sunday, June IL, i'm
mediately following an injection admin
istered by DIR. Kimmett, of Lennon
and death is admittedly due to the fact
that carbolic acid was in some way
substituted for the enema, which was
intended to be used. The doctor was
assisted in the treatment by a sister OF
Mr.. Lynch. who mixed the ingredients
which were given her by the physician
Mr.. Lynch. the husband of the dead
woman, is determined to fix the re-
sponsibility where it belongs and a
grand jury Investigation will likely be
the outcome. DR.. Kimmett has left

BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

When my baby was six months old, his body was completely covered with large sores that seemed to itch and burn, and cause terrible suffering. The eruption began in pimples which would open and run, making large sores. His hair came out and finger nails fell off, and the sores were over the entire body, causing little or no sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs would come off when removed his shirt.
 We tried a great many remedies, but nothing would help him, till a friend induced me to try the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. l used the Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment but a short time before I could see that he was improving, and in six weeks time he was entirely cured. He had suffered about six weeks before we tried the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although We had tried several other things, and doctors, too. think the Cuticura Rem- edies will do all that is claimed for them, and great deal more" (SignedD Mrs. Noble Tubman, Dodson, Mont, Jan. 2S, 1911.

THE TEA PENALTY. "A Strong Man's Experience.

Writing from Q busy railroad town the wife of an employe of one of the great roads says:
 My husband is a railroad man who has been so much benefited by the use of Postum that he wishes me to ex- press his thanks to you for the good 1t has done him. His waking hours are taken up with his work, and he has no time to write himself.
 He has been a great tea drinker all his life and has always liked it strong
 Tea has, of late years, acted on him like morphine does upon most people. At first it soothed him, but only for an hour or so, then it began to affect his nerves to such an extent that he could not sleep at night, and he would go to his work in the morn- ing wretched and miserable from the loss of rest. This condition grew con- stantly worse, until his friends per- suaded him, some four months ago, to quit tea and use Postum.
 At first he used Postum only for breakfast, but as he liked the taste of 1t, and it somehow seemed to do him good, he added it to his evening meal. Then, as he grew better, he began to drink it for his noon meal, and now he will drink nothing else at table,
 His condition is so wonderfully im- proved that he could not be hired to give up Postum and go back to tea His nerves have become steady and reliable once more, and his sleep is easy, natural and refreshing.
 He owes all this to Postum, for he has taken no medicine and made no other change in his diet.
 His brother. who was very nervous from coffee-drinking, was persuaded by us to give up the coffee and use Postum and he also has recovered his health and strength" Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.

CANADA'S IMMENSE
 WHEAT FIELDS
THE ATTRACTION FOR THREE TRANSc(,NTINENTAL RAIL-
 WAYS.

Last August there visited the Cana dian west tho yice-president of the largest individual hardware company in the United States. As his firm have a turnover of millions, and deals ex- tensively with farm implements, this man took a deep interest in crop con ditions in Canada, and on his return he embodied his findings in an article for the Hardware Reporter. This ar- ticle should be of special interest to farmers.
 The writer speaks of the importance of the spring wheat crop of Western Canada. He might also have spoken of the importance of the oat crop and also of the winter wheat crop, as well as barley. Winter wheat during the past few years has been great suc- cess, and experiments have shown that it can be grown with success in almost any portion of the three prov inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. But apart from this, the spring wheat crop is the one generally grown, and all who know anything of grain, anyone who has had anything to do with markets, knows or has heard of the high character of this cereal and the splendid yields that are annually produced. Reproducing from this article:-
 Tn land of such great sweep, and of such difference in soil and climate, there are many resources, but none are at present of the same overwhelm- ing importance as the spring wheat crop. In the interminable prairie stretches of the northwest provinces 1t Is the one absorbing topic of inter- est and of conversation during it's growing and it's harvesting, for upon it's success or failure hangs the veal or woe of a large part of the Domin- ion. It's influence extends far down into the United States, drawing thou sands of farmers northwards with the lure of cheap lands, but likewise be- yond the great lakes, even to the easy going maritime provinces, calling the flower of their young men to its op- portunities. Development in these prairie provinces goes on at high pres sure for everything hangs on the out come of spring wheat. Success has emboldened the raisers of this one all- important crop, and each year there is further incursion into those north ern fields that only short time ago were regarded as Arctic wastes. The Canadian Northwest seems to be ono of those modern agricultural examples set forth to drive the final nail in the coffin of that ancient Malthusian de- lusien that population tends to outrun the means of subsistence, since the only fear now among Canadian econ omists is as to the danger of over stocking the wheat market. Only about two and one-half per cent of possible arabic lands in the northwest provinces is now under cultivation, and this year the crop promises to be close to 200,O00,00O bushels, so that your imagination and your arith- metic can easily supply the answer as to the possible or even probable out come"
 During the months of July and Au- gust the weather was unfavourable and the production of a 200 million yield of wheat will not likely be real ized, but even with this, the threshing reports coming to hand show that the crop will be a splendidly paying one.
