In Ten Years
In Ten Years

Redheld. May 1S.-The figures
given out by the Census Bureau dis
close that Refield has made a great
er percentage of gain in population
than any other South Dakota city.
The census of 1900 showed a popu-
iation of 1915. The last enumera-
ton credits Redfeld with popula-
ton Of $500. making a gain OF over
zoo per cent in the past ten years
Prospects for substantial growth
this season are very good Among
new buildings are the Law Building,
which is three story building con-
structed by the lawyers and real es-
tate men of the city on Franklin av-
enue. the new Merchants Bank bull
ding on the corner of Humboldt and
FRANKLIN avenues, and the Chase
Mercantile block. There is need for
a pjostoffce building and the next
congress will probably appropriate
money for the erection of the build
ing. Many new dwellings are al
ready in process OF construction.
The Redfield Military band has
been reorganized under the leader
ship of Prof. o. Fl. Anderson and
open air concerts will be given twice

BABES HEAD
THREE FEET AROUND.

Philadelphia. May 1s.-A baby
only year old, with head as large
as a good-sized mans waist. lies in
cot in Samaritan hospital, VIC
time of rare disease, an object of
curiosity and sympathy and of sci
entific interest.
The child is Mabel M. Roth, whose
parents live at Northampton, Pa.
She seemed to be a perfectly nor
NAL baby, until, when she was 3
months old, her head began to grow
faster than the rest of her body.
The child became emaciated from
the attack of water on the brain,
complicated with sinabifida, dan
gerous spinal disease.
Her head around the forehead
measures thirty-six inches. The doc
tors declare that she has hardly a
shadow of hope of recovery.

Evansville, Ind, May 18.-It was
baked beans that made an army
man of John Pellum, of Eagle Creek
ILL.,, a few miles west of here.
When Pellum applied at the To-
cal recruiting station for enlistment
he lacked just seven pounds of
weighing enough. He told the re-
cruiting officer he would try to gain
some flesh. For forty-eight hours
after he left the recruiting station
he spent greater part of his time
eating beans and drinking Ohio riv-
er water.
At the end of the forty-eight
hours he weighed enough to get in
to the army and was accepted. "Hur-
rah for baked beans. the Ohio river
and the good old American flag"
said Pellum as his train pulled out
from the station to take him to
the nearest barracks.

ACCUSER AND CAMORRA
CHIEF MEET-NO CLASH
Crowd Disappointed Because Ex-
changes Between Principals


Viterbro, Italy, May 1S.--The
great crowd that pressed into the
court of the assizes this morning in
anticipation of violent scene be-
tween Gennaro Abbbatemaggio, the
informer, and sEnrico Alfano, whom
the former has denounced as the
guiding spirit in the comarra. was
disappointed.
The exchanges were comparatively
mild, Alfano maintaining a dignitied
composure and his accuser following
the others lead.
Several hours were taken up in
an effort to establish whether the
two first met in 1905, as Abbetema-
ggio asserts, or in 1906, as .Alfano
declares. On this point the jury
heard today only the conflicting
statements of these men.
i The informer repeated his accn-
Stations against Alfano to the effect
that he was actual, if not the &C.
tual if not the acknowledged head
OF the camorra and so primarily re-
sponsible for the murder of Genna-
TO Cuccolo and his wife. Alfano de-
MED every charge.
He said Abbatemaggio had black
mailed Giovanni Rapi, the alleged
treasurer Of the camorra, and had
denounced him to the authorities on
ly when Rapi had been gone four
days from Italy and so could no
longer be the victim Of extortion.

"a, 100000 HENS ON ISLE.
Figures at Dublin Poultry Confer
ence Show Great Produce
Gains.

Dublin, May l8.-Astonishine
facts relating to Irish land develop
ment have come to light in connec-
iton with the poultry conference
here. Figures have been compiled
showing that the country possesses
more than 100000 hens and $780,
600 goats. 1t is exporting nearly
2O,000.000 worth of poultry pro-
duce, while England imports $685.
100000 worth of EGGS.
Ireland, according to these figures,
is becoming a second Denmark. The
increase in poultry is due principal
ly to the establishment of co-opera-
tive depots, which nave steadily null
tiplied. The recently started socie-
ty called the United Irish Women is
rapidly becoming a force in the de-
velopment of agriculture, and it is
believed that the efforts of the or
ganization will result in a greatly re-
duced emigration.

AN EASTERN FISH STORY

The Miller Sun, which by the way
is the most unreasonable story tell
ing sheet III the state prints the
latest fish story:
The artesian we'll on the Judge
Briggs farm near Miller has a new
value, Along the warm stream Of
water that flowed from it during
the winter the hens would, gather
daily and show signs of eating some
thing delicious to them. lnvestiga-
ton showed that the chickens were
eating small fish. They were lay
Ing many eggs on account of this
valuable food. Wether the fish came
UP out of the we'll with the flow
OF water is not known. 1t is claim
ed that artesian wells do cast out
little fish. And another odd thing
was caused by the hens eating fish
AT the time some children declared
they saw pictures of fish on the
eggs that came from the stores. This
is quite likely as the hens in
scrambling after the darting fish
in the water would become fright
ened and excited, and no doubt
marked the shells of the eggs with
the pictures of the fishes they
caught. There is considerable inter
est in this and If any of the eggs
can be found now with these pic
lures on they will be highly priced
as Easter gifts.-Phillip Review.
