work of construct ting the dam, which
will start as soon as the high water

The specifications call for three
steam turbine generators each capable
Of producing a three phase GO cycle
current at 1900 volts with a normal
output of 500 XIV. With the generators
will be bought all the needed equip
ment consisting of two steam turbine
exciters, with switch boards, panels.
Power will be supplied by four 250

Murder and Suicide.

Sioux Falls.-Jealousy and anger
were the cause of double killing in
this city when Herman Piepho, a well
known journeyman tailor, shot and
killed his mother-in-law, supposed he
had killed his wife, and then fired q
shot into his own brain, killing him
self instantly.
Mrs. Piepho. who has been separat-
ed from her husband for some time,
and who recently secured a divorce
from him, accompanied by her mother.
Mrs. Johnson, was on the way to the
Omaha depot to take the train for St.
Paul. They were confronted by the
jealousy-crazed husband who after a
few words of excited conversation,
which was not heard distinctly enough
by passersby to be understood, whip
ped cut a 38-caliber bulldog revolver
and fred point blank at his wife.
Luckily the bullet went wide Of the
mark. Mrs. Piepho tainted and fell to
the ground and Piepho. thinking that
he had killed her turned the revolver
on his mother-in-law, sending bullet
crashing through her brain. He then
turned the revolver on himself firing
another bullet into his own brain. All
this was done so rapidly that passers
by were unable to interfere.

What 10 Going On Here and There

Aberdeen.-Thirty years ago siA
men now numbered among the best
known citizens of Aberdeen drove to
the little spot on the prairie which has
since developed into the metropolis of
the Dakotas. and, with go or 20 others,
made this the terminus of long jour-
ney.
Those in the party were Frank and
Henry Beard, John and David Culbert,
Murray Widdis and John Wesley Col
Inns. All Of them started early in the
spring of 1881 from Bruce county, On
tario, and spent couple of months
in Cass county, North Dakota. Then
the first of June. that year. they form
ed part Of the long wagon train
which came south to this section, and
the six settled land in the vicinity of
Aberdeen and have been closely con-
nected with the growth Of this city
ever since. It was drive of 100 miles
and was covered in six days. On ar
irving at Aberdeen, where the railroad
had not yet reached at that time, there
were but two sod shanties to be seen,
and It required wonderful imagination
to picture what the next three decades
had in store for the little settlement
on the prairies.

To Reduce Saloons.

Aberdeen at present possesses over
40 salons, although the last federal
census gave the city population of
but 1878. The licenses of the saloon
men all expire July l, and applicants
for renewal have been made by most
of them. At the last meeting Of the
city commissioners the petitions Of
five neutrality-suspicious. Dietlein,
Louis Pouliot, George L. Cease, e. O..
Cooley and John P. Knight-were re-
jected, and those Of % others who ap-
piled for licenses were laid over until
the next meeting Of the commission.
The rejection Of the five petitions is
taken to mean that the commissioners
have concluded to reduce the number
of saloons, but just how many will be
Topped OF Is not known.

Best Crop Outlook West Of Chicago.
Presho.-The crop conditions in the
vicinity of this place never were bet
ter than at this time. Wheat is joint
ing. oats and barley are almost as far
along and farmers are blowing their
corn. Some are cutting new hay,
which has made a wonderful growth
in the past two weeks. Alfalfa ID
ready for the first cutting.
The ground Is soaked full Of water
and during the past two weeks there
has been six good heavy rains, all the
dams and creeks are full. The rains
have been long, steady downpours,
leaving the ground In most excellent
condition. The travelling men say
that the crops here are In better con-
dition than anywhere west Of Chicago.
