We Notice From Our Exchanges

We Notice From Our Exchanges
That Dupree has just organized
a brass band, a fire department
and Masonic lodge.
That nororious feminine taste
has been vindicated in the New
New York courts, where the judge
holds that wonan's habit OF
shopping for things that she does
not need is no sign of insanity.
That Carl Houck, a respectable
German farmer from near Java,
was arrested at Mclaughlin at the
depot last Friday by the Indian
police, who discovered a whiskey
flask in Houck's grip when the
latter opened it to take out some
thing at the depot.
That New York judge has ex-
onerated a man who whipped an
other for rocking a boat. The
action of the Judge was all right as
far as he went, but he should have
recommended for a hero medal the
man who did the whipping.
That Secretary of State KnoX's
greeting the other day to Chair
man Hamlin as he seated himself
in the witness chair before the
house committee on expenditures
in the state department, was as fol-
lows: You've played this up in
frst-class style; if you ever get out
of congress, you ought to manage
a theatrical company
That Assistant State Engineer S.
R. Green has gone to Nitteberg in
northwestern Stanley county. to
make surveys for location of sew
eral artesian wells which are to be
sunk at township expense. This
township is on the divide between
the tributaries of Bad river and
Cheyenne river. and if the artesian
flow can be secured in that section
it will be a great benefit to the
western part of the state, where the
question of the flow coming to the
surface has never been tried out.
That John Steffes, of Stroll, S.
D.. died last week in St. Lukes
hospital in Aberdeen from a knife
stab in the abdomen. Steffes was
taken to that city upon the advice
Of DR.. VIM. Neer, of Vernall, S. D.
Nothing is known in Aberdeen
about the tragedy except that the
affair which proved fatal to Steffes
took place in butcher shop at
Stroll. Both the butcher and
Steffes wife are in Jail at Strool
awaiting the news from this city.
1t is understood that Steffes &C
cused the butcher of improper at
tentions toward his wife and a
quarrel ensued in which Steffes was
stabbed.

depend largely upon whether the Ca

is coming anyway. It may strike

it does not, then it will Cross 0e

7. n. VOID Returns
FROM MEXICO
Sawyer Man Talks Of the Revolution
Now Going on 1here-Diaz Must
Go.

T. n. Void, who has spent several
in Mexico where he has large
land holdings, is back, preparing 70
put his 900 acre farm at Sawyer ir-,
crop. The land was all summer IA
lowed last year and he is banking on
a bumper crop. Speaking of the
troubles in Mexico he said: "The
revolution in Mexico has had its Of
feet on the real estate business N
that country. We have not sold
much land there for some time. BIZ!
believe that in the end, We viii! be
better off than ever. President Diaz
who has been in power for 80 years,
is getting old, he is now 80 years Of
age. and he has held the Office too
long. If he can be gotten out OF
power, | do not believe that it will
take long to wind up the revolution.
Naturally there is good deal Of graft
there among the officials, because +hey
have been in power too long. Diaz Is
an honest old gentleman and has done
much for Mexico, but the time has
come for him to step down and QUO.
The common people must be given
more power. Those large es+asss
must be broken up and I predict that
Mexico will come out Of the kinks
better than ever"
