May Die of Wound.

Hot Springs.-Roy B. Weatherly,
who was shot while beating his way
near Edgemont on a burlington train,
is expected to die Of his wounds. The
ball entered his abdomen, piercing the
inteslines in seven places. Railroad
officials and civil authorities both de-
clined to assume responsibility and
twenty-five hours elapsed before he
was brought here for relief. Weather
ly and two companions, a Frenchman
and a Mexican, were beating their way
east on a freight and had annoyed the
train crew for a hundred miles through
Wyoming. Trouble was resumed after
the train pulled out Of Edgmont and
the new crew stopped the train and
elected them after some difficulty. A
fusillade of rocks ensued between a
brakeman and Weatherly and ar emil
grant travelling in his car took part
in the fight and admits firing a revol-
yer at the hoboes. 1t is claimed that
the brakeman fired at the same in
slant. Weatherly's story is that he
and his companions were walking up
the track behind the train after they
were put off when fire was opened on
them from the way car. A hearing
has been held at Edgemont and all
witnesses exonerated. Weatherly's
home is at Paola, Kan.

HaiIstorm Over Wide Area.

Pferre.-The storm which visited
this city and vicinity showed several
peculiar features. With a precipita-
ton Of just about an inch, in the main
part of the city there was nothing but
rain, while in the eastern end of the
city, and at Fort Pierre, enough snow
accompanied to whiten the ground
and roofs of buildings, while people
who came in Monday morning from the
prairie northeast of here report that
the prairie was white for some time
after the storm ended. The rain was
followed by a temperature down dan
gerously close to the frost line. but
no damage has been reported as yet
from that cause.

YOUNG Girl Drowned.

Mitchell.-The artificial lake at
Woonsocket claimed it's first victim in
the person of Miss Hannah Bollman,
aged 10 years. She had worked as a
domestic in the family of E. R. Wolter
for a couple of years, and leaving the
house ten days ago on a rainy evening
she disappeared completely from sight.
When the girl failed to return the next
l.. day, search was instituted for her,
but not the slightest clue could be
found. After ten days had passed her
body was found floating in the lake.
The young woman left nothing that
would indicate the cause of her de.
struction.

and other vegetables are raised only
with care and In favorable seasons.
Farms Now Cultivated.
AS one enters the valleys of south
ern Alaska the agricultural possibilities
improve. Potatoes and other vegetables
have done well In the past, but as a
rule grains fail to ripen and are valu-
able only for feeding stock. Farther
north, in what Is known as Copper
valley, conditions are more favorable
for vegetables. and quite a number of
good gardens and small farms are now
cultivated. The growing season here
tofore has stretched over six months
or more in the islands and the inlets
of southeastern Alaska. 1t decreases
to five months at Skagway, and il
about four in the interior.
While the Seward peninsula and the
arctic coast have no agricultural pos
sibilities, yet considerable parts of the
Yukon basin are suitable for garden
! ing to a degree astonishing to the un-
informed. The best-known instance Of
successful farming Is that at the Holy
Cross mission, or the Yukon, 81 de-
grees north. There cattle have been
raised for IL years and more, and the
products Of the land under cultivation
excite establishment in all visitors. All
through the valley Of the Yukon potae
toes and vegetables mature when
proper ground Is chosen and skilled
attention given.
At Fort Gibbon, at the junction Of
the Yukon and the Tanana rivers, and
at Fort Egbert, near the arctic circle,
the military garrisons have raised
large quantities of vegetables, pota-
toes being especially successful. Even
at C%oldtoot, within the arctic circle, at
So degrees north, potatoes, cabbage.
peas, turnips, rhubarb and berries are
grown of large size and good flavor.
Truck farming and hay farming are
fiourishing industries In the lower Ia
mana valley, where 1t is said that more
than 80, 900 acres of land have been
homesteaded. While grain will ripen
only under favorable conditions, pota-
toes, with other vegetables, do very
we'll, and the native and selected for
SASh 6idSoCo aiC PlOduNti'S VI 6SOG
crops.
That the productivity Of Alaskan
agriculture is important. both In guam
tity and In value, is clearly indicated
by the %diminution of the shipment OF
potatoes from the United States to
Alaska. which dropped IN two years
from 211 ,215 bushels to 167 ,033 busn-
els. In the same length of time the
value of al vegetable shipments fell
from $696,92S to s4S3, s55, a decrease
of more than 80 per cent.
A warmer climate in Alaska would,
no doubt, cause these figures to dimin-
ish rapidly and soon disappear. In
fact, II is not an ~extravagant state
ment, according to men who have in
vestigated the subject, to say that the
switching of the Japan current nay
mean that Alaska will forge ahead in
its agricultural products until it's ex-
ports will be the very things which in
the past were imported.

Mitchell.-A party Of four UNIVERSE

Frank Petrie and Tracey Jenney were
out in a canoe, which suddenly over
turned and both were thrown into the
water. The other two hurried to the
rescue of the boys and succeeded in
catching Petrie and saving his life.
Young Jenny drifted down with the
stream and sank out of sight. The
body was recovered in about thirty
minutes by dragging the river bottom
with a rake. Mr.. Jenny was a third
year academy student at Dakota-Wes-

What Horse Power Means.

Very few people realize just what q
horse power, as expressed In engineer
ing terms. really means.
When 1t Is stated that the worlds
largest Curtis steam turbine, which
drives an electric generator in the Wa
terside station, New York, develops
10000 horse power the meaning is
vague and incomprehensible. Imagine
this term reduced to man power and
almost every one can grasp it's full
meaning. II 1t takes twelve men to
equal one horse power then this mann
moth turbine engine develops Ii times
10000, or the working energy of $780,
900 men. II these men worked In
eight-hour shifts each day II would
require the services or 1.CS0.000 men
every twenty-four hours TO produce
the working energy of this turbine

the soldier of 81.
I am reminded of an example Of pa
triotism not usually known. Colonel
Shaw, whose monument Of bronze
stands upon Boston Common, is not
alone In deserving such a memorial.
Up among the Berkshire Hills there is
a modest shaft that marks the grave
of another gallant leader of negro
troops. l refer to Colonel Chauncey
B~assett, Of the Bassett Grand Army
post of Michigan, the grandfather OF
my children and the father of that
elect lady, my wife. How Colonel
Bassett inspired his men is illustrated
by the heroism of a negro lad who
was the c~olor-bearer. AS Colonel Bias.
sett handed the flag to the lad, he gave
this charge: "My boy, bring back the
colors or tell to God the reason why"
All through the fierce fight they watch
ed that standard. Once 1t was seer to
fall-the lads arm had been shot. But
grasping the staff with his left hand,
the flag moved forward again, waving
over the dusky troops. Once more it
swayed and dropped. But after the
battle they found the little fellow
PROSTATE upon the flag wet with his
blood. He could never bring the col
ors back. He had told to God the
reason why.
But / recall a memorial which comes
close to every veteran in the land. 1t
is the name endeared to you by a
thousand ~recollections and sends the
warm blood throbbing through your
veins. 1t is the dear name Of
comrade, comrade!
Your companions in arms! They
have fallen, but your thoughts bring
the old familiar forms and scenes
back again. You sleep in the same
tent and perchance share the same
blanket or you watch by the camp
fro warming and sheltering your COM
rade from the cold and the storm as
he has done for you. You divide your
scanty rations or you dispense the
lucky catch Of poultry or bacon; You
cheer him On the hot and dusty march;
he stretches his hand or musket to
you in the struggle through the daE-
gerous swamp: he fights by your side
