PnuME STONE TAKEN
FROM LUNG OF olRL

Dickinson, N. D., July 29.-One
of the strange cases in history
comes from the Shollsmade coun-
try. The 6-year-old daughter Of
John Sholl was scuhling with her
sisters and in some way a prune
stone was forced into her wind
pipe and lodged in her right lung.
The little suffered was taken to
the New England hospital and the
very delicate operation Of OPEN
ing the windpipe and going into
the lung and removing the stone
was performed. So far as could
be observed the operation was
successful and it is believed that
If pneumonia does not develope
that the girls life will be saved.

Lee, who was an old-time rider
on the range, and until few
years ago considered a fair sort
known as one of the best broncho
busters in this section. About
three years ago he got mixed up
in some crooked deal and was in
carcerated in the Billings county
Jail at Medora, to expiate his
guilt. Shortly after his release
he was again arrested, and this,
together with other troubles af-
fected his mind. He was finally
adjudged insane and sent to
jamestown, his tragic death cul-
minating an aimless life.

BENSON AUT0ISTS
END THEIR TRIP
Forty-nIne Cars Complete Tour
Without Serious Nllshap-
Band Meets Wanderers.

Benson, Mimi, July 28-Weary
but contented, the autoists of Ben
son reached home at 10 p. m., last
night after two days automobile
tour covering 242 miles through
eight counties. Starting away
from Benson at Z a. m. Friday,
forty-nine cars completed the trip
to and from New Ulm without mis-
hap save a few punctures and a
broken axel and steering gear.
President E. L. Thornton and
Secretary I. NJ. Hudson of the Ben
son Automobile club are enthu-
siastic over the results and an
other sociability tour will be made
again next year possibly to Min
neapolis
Women Drivers Participate.
The enduring qualities of the
frail sex were demonstrated. Miss
Ethel Crooks, in a Maxwell, stuck
to the wheel all the way while
Mrs. May McShane held her own
outward bound.
Montevideo was left at 6:25 p.
m. yesterday and the cars took
the homeward stretch of thirty
miles to the north. When the
tourists reached within five miles
of home they were met with
torches and a band. The trium-
phant boosters were escorted over
the five miles of fine roads fixed
at the expense of the auto club
last year. The park was a festoon
of electric lights and as the home
comers paraded through the
crowded streets, sky rockets were
fired and Fourth of July had no
thing on it as a celebration. There
were speeches by prominent citi-
zens, followed by music by the
town band, and lunch was served
in the open air. The itinerary
covered Swift, Kandiyohi, Rem
vile, Nicollet, Brown, Redwood,
Yellow Medicine and Chippewa
and the roads were gen.
orally fair but there is much room
for improvement.

SOLICITOR
Is AN IMPOSTER
On being Questioned In Sign Ian.
oua0o Ne 0ets Frightened
and Leaves.

Devils Lake, July 26-Residents
of Devils Lake are warned by
Prof. L. A. Long of the North Da-
kota School for the Deaf, that a
young man presenting the card of
Robert Seymour, soliciting aid, is
believed to be an imposter and un-
worthy of assistance. Unawares
that he was approaching a man
who is an expert at the sign Ian
guage, the stranger asked Long
at his residence for money. sey-
mour asked for help because he
claimed he was deaf. When Mr..
Long started to use the sign Ian
guage, Seymour became scared.
He could spell some but could not
read.
Inquiring into the mans cir
cumstances, Professor Long was
told by the stranger that he be-
came deaf four years ago. No
cases are known where the
speech is lost. That is q queer
feature in this case.
The stranger was openly accus-
ed by Professor Long of being an
imposter, and he threatened to
have him arrested il he did not
leave town. The man left at once.
The deaf as q rule do not beg
because they are deaf" said Pro-
fessor Long. 1.-THE deaf of the
country are trying to put q stop
to that kind Of business. There
may be a few beggers who are
really deaf, but if found are usual
ly made to STOP"

Montevideo, Minn., July 27.-
After stopping nearly three hours
early today at Redwood Falls to
let the visitors see the new Ram
sey state park, the Benson cars
headed for Granite Falls, thirty
eight miles. The rain which fell
spasmOdically in the morning
ceased in the afternoon and the
sun shone bright again.
Except for a bad stretch of ten
miles east of Echo the road was
he best of the entire journey. Ex-
tending from near Wood Lake
battlefield the pEairieroute is we'll
grave1ed. Through a portion of
Yellow Medicine county, burned
out last summer, there is a mag
nificent wheat crop, some of which
will easily run to twenty-five
bushels.
A wonderful view of the Minne-
sofa valley was presented for
miles. Winding among wooded
ravines the approach to Granite
Falls was the most interesting
part of the journey. The town
was reached at 4:55 p. m. and a
band bade welcome. The party
took the bumps again shortly after
leaving Granite Falls at 5:25 p.
m. A couple of the machines got
into minor trouble on the four
teen-mile lap o Montevideo, which
was reached at 6: 25 p. m. The
visitors were rendered the use of
the Commercial club rooms by the
local auto club.
The party was escorted into
town by B. H. Simons, E. H. Gran
dali, J. H. Sellie, A. H. Selgeson
and A. E. Aspness. Supper was
served in the Odd Fellows ban
quet hall.

Narrow Range in Prices During
Entire Day, With Only Small
Change Noted at Close.

NEW YORK, Oct. Strength in Liv-
erpool cables caused the cotton market
to open barely steady today with irregu-
larlty predominattng prices ranging
points higher to points lower than last
nights close. The Journal of Commerce
IN their cotton report on conditions as of
September "a. placed condition at 70.3,
month, which was 75.4, against 70.S a year
ago. This report when contraSted with
previous year was regarded as very bear
isf. causing free selling from many
sources which resulted in most active
positions dropping to 5 points from the
early range. The buying was general,
which seemed to come chiefly from shorts.
throughout the morning session the
market was marked with heavy selling,
which seemed to come mostly from COM
mission houses and the ring crowd. This
seHing was thought to be to further long
liquidation. The buying was chiefly con-
trlbuted TO spot interests and some short
covering before the government report, to
be issued tomorrow at noon, which is
anticipated by many to be around So.
There was fair buying by certain bro
kers, which was said to be for New Or
leans account
During the afternoon trading shorts
continued to cover and prices regained
the initial decline, ranging from un-
changed to points above the opening
prices.
A disposition rest among the bears to
hold their cotton, as some of the most

ture.
At the close the market was steady
with prices ranging from unchanged to
points above the final quotations of Mon
day.
