BEST LIGHT FOR THE EYES
Principle Of "Concealed Lighting
Rapidly Gaining In Popularity Its
Redeemlng Features.

The principle Of Concealed light
ing" is rapidly gaining way, and in
England 1t is predicted that within a
few years 1t will be almost universal
ly put into practice. 1t is pointed out
that the system Of putting the sources
of light in plain view Is wasteful be-
cause the. dazzled eye demands a
greater flooding of the air with DIFF
fused illumination In order to see
clearly When the light source is
concealed far less intense illumina-
ton Is required In the reading-room
of the British Museum the artificial
illumination is only seven one-thous-
andth Of daylight, at the Woolsack In
the house Of lords only six one-thous-
andths. and at the clerks desk In the
house Of commons only one twelve
hundredth; yet In all these cases the
amount Of illumination Is satisfactory,
because there Is no "stabbing" light
from visible sources.

REWARDS FAIL TO
Effect CAPTURE

Little Rock, May 25.-With re-
wards offered aggregating $1,100 for
the arrest and conviction of Jack the
Shooter, murderer of the Coulter in
FAINT, that elusive miscreant is lying
low. Scores of citizens acting as vol
unteer patrolmen patrol the city ev-
cry night, and their vigilance has evil
IDENTIFY frightened away the mystic
rious prowler. He has committed no
crimes this week, and the police and
other authorities are just as much in
the dark as ever about his identity.
Every suspicious person arrested
these days, in this city or vicinity, is
at once marked by the public as Jack
the Shooter. Thursday morning Ho-
mer McNew, a young man about 20
years of age, was arrested by Police
man Willoughby of Argenta on a
charge of having entered with unlaw-
full intent the sleeping apartment of
a young woman in the home of Henry
Yaeger, adjoining the McNew resi-
dence. The report spread rapidly
that Jack the Shooter had been ap-
pretended. He is being given a pre-
liminary hearing today by Judge Ivy.

This Is accomplished by the alter

FINDS FRAUDS EVEN

MISREPRESENTATION III III
MUST STOP. Is

Nermillion, S. DIR. y. y. Cook
pure food commissioner, is Just is
suing a bulletin, to be mailed to
dealers and citizens of the state, on
Commercial Drinking Waters. On
investigation the Food and Drug
Department has determined that
there is a great deal of fraud con
nected with the sale of such waters,
and many people are paying a high
price for bottled drinking water, in
the hope of being benefited by the
same, when the matter OF fact is that
in many cases it is not as good or
no better than ordinary we'll water,
or the city water to which they have
easy access without extra cost. One
firm in one of the large cities, by
diligent advertising and e%Xtravagant
claims, was selling we'll water of
questionable purity as spring water.
The commissioner announces that
such frauds must cease, or prosecu-
ton will follow.

LINCOLN SERMON
WAS INTERESTING

The services at the Congregational
church Sunday were largely attend
ed both morning and evening. The
music by the mixed quartette was
much appreciated by the people.
The ermon dealt with some condi-
tions of the churches and the reasons
for them. lit was listened to with
great interest. In the evening Rev.
w. NJ. Mair took for his theme, The
Craftsmanship of Lincoln, and deliv-
cred a strong address on this fea-
ture Of the hero's life. He made it
very clear that Lincoln was not a
politician, but a statesman of the
very highest rank. He said that his
craftsmanship could be proved by his
careful preparation for the future,
the management of his private affairs
and his disposition OF great public
matters. All these points were fully
illustrated. The speaker described
rapidly the debates between Lincoln
and Douglass, emancipation and re
construction, showing Lincoln's atti
tude on all these great measures tc
be absolutely right. He closed with {
glowing tribute to the memory of the
great statesman.

Over a hundred men last evening

dinner "a served by the members

The occasion was the first formal

OF the department of elocution and
oratory in Dakota Wesleyan unive:-
sity, was called upon for an address.

The House by the Side of the
Road in a most impressive manner.
After a vocal solo by Paul Tilley,
o. l.. Branson spoke upon the sub
ject of the anniversary. In the life

Concerning monetary conditions in
South Dakota, the gentlemen here
We're very pronounced in the belief
that the real "stringency" was not
because of a lack of funds, nor CON
fidence, but because people general
ly saw the need of more economical
living and instituted a system of fru-
gality not heretofore apparent in
this section of the northwest. While
in a few limited localities there will
be demand for money with which tc
provide seed for the coming seasons
crop, the people are not seriously nj
convenienced, and are far from being
discouraged, in fact all are in happy
anticipation of a splendid crop year,
and ample seed will be provided fol
all the acres needed. A majority
of those who came here a year ago
to make new homes, have sufficient
means to provide seed grain and
feed for stock till another harvest,
but many OF them will be Obliged TIC
ask holders of paper to carry inter
est another year. In short, accord
ing to the sentiment expressed farm
ers and people of the state generally
are in much better condition than
most people realize.

ARREST P0sTOFF|Ct
CLERK FOR LARCENY
ASSISTANT SHEA, UNDER ARREST
SAYS 1T HAS EXISTED FOR
SEVERAL YEARS.

Lead, S. DIT will be another
two weeks the exact amount of the
shortage in the money order depart
ment of the Lead p~ostoffice is known.
Inspectors Wood and Beatty who are
working on the books, have figured
the amount at present as $4,000
which may be either increased OR de-
creased when subsequent reports and
records from Washington arrive and
are gone over.
The clerk. Ray l.. Shea who was
arrested and is now under $1,000
bond for the United States district
court, protests his innocence of
of wrong doing and declares that the
shortage is due to clerical errors
and -carelessness.
1t is said that the failure. to send
in a regular report to the auditor
at Washington, first attracted the at
tention of the government to Shea.
Inspector Wood came here and COM
menced an Investigation, working
nights with Shea on the books and
sleeping with him. When Shea adj
mitted that there had been a shortage
in his department for some months
and alleged it to be due to careless
ness rather than criminal methods,
he was placed under arrest. Shea
maintains that a shortage has exist
ed in his department for years but
this the inspectors are inclined to
disbelieve and have sem for the
Washington records to establish the
truth Or falsity Of the claim. The
records here are in bad shape, false
entries and erasures having been
found in several instances of amounts
Of several hundred dollars each.
One feature that is puzzling the
authorities and all connected with
the case is to find a motive and also
what disposition was made of the
missing money. Shea's splendid past
reputation and the fact that he was
only a liberal spender along legiti-
mate lines, has tended to create some
doubt in his favor.
Shea is unmarried and has been
the support. Of his mother for years.
He was born and reared here and
has always been implicitly trusted in
every way. n
