STORY OF BODY OF NURSE In
WATER TANK UNTRUE.

Chamberlain, s. D., Jan. 20, 1911.
Special; A great deal of comment
and irresponsible conjecture has been
caused the past few days over large
part of the state owing to the report
ed finding of a body in one of the
water tanks Of the water system of
the Sanitarium in this city. AS rum
or had it the body was that of a
nurse who left the institution in the
night time last May, and who has not
been heard of since. The idle gossip
in the beginning was not taken seri-
ously by those familiar with the plan
OF operating the water system in aues-
tion, knowing such a circumstance to
be absolutely impossible. But passed
on into the mouths OF those not 30

A FARMERS LETTER ON THE
MAIL ORDER HOUSE.

(The following letter recently ap-
peared in the St. Paul Dispatch and
contains so many truths that we here
with publish it,
We as farmers are livery willing to
admit what the fine-toned orator tells
us, that we are the most independent
people on earth, and 50 we could and
ought to be, but are not. We are
simply the serfs and slaves of that
great monstrosity, the mail order
house, which is sapping our financial
lives. I put it strongly, because I
hope to awaken you to the realization
of the slavery we so voluntarily ac-
cept and seemingly enjoy. | do not
claim to be any different or better
than the rest OF you in this respect,
but l would like to join my fellow
farmers in throwing off the thralldom
which now exists. People are so con-
stituted that it Is hard to make any
important move in the community
alone. Our families like to have equal
advantages with others and so long
IS it is popular for families to use the
catalogues for shopping tours they
will feel that they are deprived Of
some of the important comforts of
life, II it is suspended. do not wish
to be considered as talking from a
mean spirit toward my family, but l
am tired of having my family sitting
up nights and devoting Sundays to
shopping by mail and buying many
things which are not necessary for
their happiness and comfort, simply
because bargain counter is constant
ly spread before them. / believe we
should build up our own communities
and enable our home merchants to
give US a good Market for our pro-
ducts by standing by them. We can
buy all that we need, and, on the av-
erage, as cheaply, by doing our busi-
ness at home, and thus make better
market for our products. How can
we expect the country stores to thrive
and grow If we, as farmers, refuse to
trade with them, but send our money
to some distant city, which does not
interest us or help us in the least.
While there is always standard price
for some kinds of farmers produce
how can we EXPECT the country mer-
chant to buy our eggs, butter, poultr,
and other products, SO vital to US all,
If we don't reciprocate. Is it not an
object for us to build up our market
town and make markets for our pro-
ductsP Does it not add to the value
of our land to be able to point 30 some
thriving nearby town with q ready
market, with schools and churches?
Is not land so situathd worth more
than II it is isolated and distant fror,,
everything and everybodyP
About the only thing the mail order
house has left for ourselves is the pro.
duction of babies. and / shall not be
SURPRISED to see them open foundline
hospitals and furnish ready-made ba
bies at reduced rates, avoiding medl-
cal expense and the purchase OF bar
rels of Mrs. Winslow's soothing syrup

familiar, and increasing in elaborate
ness of detail with each repeating, it
has become so widespread and so SER
ious as to do great injury to a credit
Die institution. The business people
of Chamberlain, represented by May
or L. X. Berry, and ten more of the
leading business and professional men
of the city, have accordingly visited
the Sanitarium and made very
searching investigation. They find
that three large tanks are used for
supplying the institution water, two
Of which are termed settling tanks,
located near the ground, and the
third resting on steel tower eighty
feet high, each capable of holding
eight hundred barrels of water. The
committee found that these 3ettling
tanks have been cleared of settings
every few days ever since the institu-
tion has been established, and that
the tank on the steel tower has been
cleaned every few weeks, the clean
ing being done by men entering the
tanks and thoroughly slushing them
out through an opening provided for
that purpose. These facts are famil-
lar to the eighty employees of the in
stitution. The committee found that
there was absolutely nothing to the
story, that it was pure pipe-dream,
made absolutely out of whole cloth,
and in order that justice may be done
desires that this fact be made gen
orally known. How the story began,
or who is responsible. or as to what
the motive may have been, is not
known, but reward of $3.50 is offered
for evidence that will convict the
person responsible for the story. 1t
is fact that a nurse left the prem
ises along in May, and whether she
is living or dead is unknown. The
following Cav dilligent search was
made tor her, in the vicinity of the
place, along the river and among the
farms out on the prairie. The Sani-
tarium management, fearing suicide
eventually, notified all points along
the Missouri, river, hut nothing has
since been heard from her. That the
reported finding of her body in the
water tank at this time dould be true
is ridiculed by members of the medi-
cal fraternity and all other intelligent
people. The tanks are closed and not,
exposed to the full glare of the hot
summer sun at all times. Decompo-
sition would commence Immediately
and the water would be unfit for use
almost as soon. Several davs at most
and not eight months, would suffice.
1t is remarkable that so serious ru-
mer could become current without
shadow Of grounds for it and that it
would become SO widespread when
absolutely contrary to the most or
dinary rules of common sense, as well
as the thoroughly sanitary conditions
maintained in handling the sanitori-
um water supply. Mitchell Daily Re-

We the undersigned citizenes of
Chamberlain have investigated the
Sanitarium premises and have found
that there was no foundation for the
reports as circulated. Signatures

BLACKBIRD MUSICIANS.
One That Accompanied a Band, An
other That Could Give Cavalry Call.
From the Scotsman.


One April. while studying bird voices in
wood near breezy upland village in
Banffshire. | was startled by whistler,
who produced again and again part of the
opening phrases (six notes. of the fine
English song, Should He Upbraid?"
No professional clarinet player could
have rendered the phrase with closer at
tenuon to quality of tone and to exact
ness OF time and pitch At first ] thought
that il had been whistled by a powman
who was working in a neighboring field.
Other biackbirds i'm the same woods wh.s-
tied the phrase. but no one performed it
so well as the bird first heard.
Two summers ago a biackbird that pa
troIed small beat in the gardens to the
south of Buccleuch place. Edinburgh.
whistled a part lover dozen notes. of a
five-finger exercise for the piano. which
he had without doubt picked up from
some player in one of the neghboring
houses. Some year ago. in the month of
June. j attended concert in the LuXem-
bOurg Gardens. which may be considered
the central point of the Latin Quarter in
Paris.
The performers were the band of the
Garde Republicaine Uhe finest band in the
world) and the program they submitted
consisted wholly of extracts from Beet
hovens works. While the adag4o of the
Senate Pathetique" was being played
blackbird sitting high up in tree near
the bandstand accompanied the instru-
ments, and stopped when they did.
He sang during the whole movement
beautiful, leisurey snatches of melody.
His notes seemed like an instrument
added to the band. and quite equaled in
quality any Of the wood winds. The way
In which his extempore melody fitted in
with Beethoven's composition was per-
fectly marvellous.

in a Gully of Salt Creek.

From the New York World.
Careful mathematical calculation based
upon census returns shows the center
of population of the United States to be
in Monroe county. Ind. Investigation OF
the neighborhood discloses the exact
spot is in a gully on the banks of Salt
creek: that it is thickly overgrown with
heavy underbrush, and that the region
abounds in wild game. 1t is added that
the township is SO solidly democratic
that only twice in its history has it ever
elected a republican to any Office.
That all the region about the head
waters of Salt creek is occupied by
democrats has long been known to the
American people. Periodically they
swarm downward and over the rest OF
the country. sometimes even overrunninS
parts of New England. but after every
presidential election for the last fifteen
years they have gone back up Salt creek
again as IL swept by cyclone.
But now a new era dawns. Salt creek
Is no longer place OF exile. Though the
spot be but a hole in a gully. though IL
be overgrown with underbrush, though
the rabbit and the wild turkey make
their home there. II. is none the less the
pivotal point around which New York
and San Francisco. Key West and Nome,
Bar Harbor and San Diego revoive as
center.

Elsie Davis, twenty-five years old, the ac-
complished daughter of Charles NJ. Davis,
who has been missing from her home
here since last Sunday morning, was kid
mapped and carried away in an automobile
is the latest theory.
Because her fathers revolver was not
found in its accustomed place it was at
first believed she had taken the weapon
with which to end her life. Since hun
dreds of persons who have searched the
woods for miles around have failed TO find
any trace of her. the suicide theory has
been abandoned The mills here and at
Locke's mills are shut down that the OPP
eratives may join i'm the girl hunt.
Miss Davis has been the organist at the
Methodist church here for several years
and at 10 o'clock Sunday was preparing
to leave for the church An hour later
she had disappeared. \ strange auto

heard by those at the church service. but

IS NOT WITHIN LAW
Continued from First PageD

this, too, while the President is thought
to be considering the Secretary's recon-
mendation for the removal or rebuke of
DR.. Wiley.
Miss Alice Lakey, chairman of the food
committee of the National Consumers
League has written letter to President
Taft urging the retention in Office OF DIR.
Wiley and asking that Secretary Wilson
be removed instead.
DR.. Wiley, she states. has persistently
enforced the pure food law in the inter-
ests of the consumer, while Secretary
Wilson, she claims, has allied himself
with the food and drug manufacturers as
against the interests of the consumer.
Miss Lakey says the latest charges
against DIR. Wiley are the elimination OF
long series of attempts to get him out
of the way in order to nullify the effects
of the pure food law. This law. she
states, was passed mainly through tile
efforts of DR.. Wiley, and ii it had not
been for him the law would have been a
dead letter on the statute books before
it was in existence a year.
DR.. Wiley'S services to the unprotected
customer. as we'll as to the government,
Miss Lakey declares, are beyond price.
NO man can take his place or do the
work that he has done and can do. Right
is within him. He has the confidence of
the people. and we know that he can be
trusted.

remedies. the whisky rectifier, and the
