New Town to Be Started.

Milbank.-If a petition which has
been filed with the state board of rail
road commissioners is granted. a new
town will appear IN the map in South
Dakota. Some months ago the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul Rail
road company constructed a sidetrack
at a point between Milbank and Big
Stone City, for the accommodation of
the farmers living in the vicinity. The
farmers of the surrounding region
now have p~etitioned for the opening
of a depot at that point, and if the
request is granted the new town of
Nubia will come into existence. for
this is the name which has been de-
cided upon. The farmers living in the
vicinity say hat if the depot is Sc
cured they have found men who stand
ready to erect a grain elevator and
open a store, and that those institu-
tons would be followed by other bust
ness houses until a good town had
been developed there.

by Attempted Suicide.
Chamberlain.-The complete refor-
nation of a son who had entered on
the downward path by the ATTEMPTED
suicide of his mother, because of his
escapades, is reported from Trip
county. The mother is Mrs. Elmer
Hughes, one of the most highly re-
spected women of the village of Co
lone. For some time her son George
had been drinking excessively, and
this eliminated in a fight between
himself and several other young men.
When the mother heard of this and
of the arrest of her son following the
fight, and of his being placed in Jail,
h became distracted and while in a
highly excited condition seized a bot
tie of carbolic acid and swallowed a
portion of the contents. Physicians
were summoned promptly and sue
ceeded in saving her life. The son
was released from jail and when in
formed of the result of his driving his
mother to distraction he was grief
stricken, and now has taken a solemn
pledge to drink no more. The entire
community sympathizes deeply with
he family and every male resident of
committee of one to aid the young
man in keeping to the straight and
narrow way.

Left Large Estate to a Sister.

Langford.-By a will executed only
a few days before his death a sister
living in Germany will receive the
large estate of George Freshman, an
eccentric pioneer resident of Marshall
county, who died a day or two ago as
the result of exposure to the severe
cold during last January. The old
man lived alone, and although well
off financially lived the life of a her
NIT, denying himself the necessaries
and comforts of life. Some of those
who were acquainted with him believe
that for some time before his death
he was mentally unbalanced. During
the excessive cold weather Of January
he a his feet frozen and was in a
serious condition before he made the
fact known to his neighbors who
CHANGED to call at his home. They
cared for him and engaged a physi-
clan, but 1t was too late to save the
old mans life. He was one of the
most peculiar characters who ever
lived in South Dakota. At the time
of his death he was the owner Of a
valuable farm of 100 acres and had
considerable money on deposit in a
bank.

RASH ALL OVER BABY'S BODY

ION July 81, 1909, we left Boston for

baby with Us. After being in Ireland
, few days a nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to q doc
tor who gave us medicine for him.
The trouble started In the form of q
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face, at different times. It
trritated. and he would scratch 1t with
al his might. The consequence was
It developed into sores. and we we're
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face.
when we reached England We took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate. and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and 1t used to
itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with 1t at different
times. It was at this time that my
mother advised US to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and C~uticura Ointment for
about nine months the places sdisap-

in circuit court, at Huron. A petition
for submitting to a vote at the regu-

was attacked on the ground that some
Of the signers were not freeholders.
During the argument it was shown
that although certain of the signers
were property holders at the time
their names were affixed to the petit
ton, they had since sold their real
property. Judge Taylor held that at
the time of fixing their names to the
petition they were within the provi-
sions of the law, freeholders, and that
even though they had disposed Of
their property since signing such petit
ton, the petition thereby was not in
valid. He therefore directed that
the proper notice Of submitting the
question to o vote be issued by the
town clerk.

Roosevelt's Foresight
Described in MunSey'S

According to Judson c. Weiliver. in
his article, Catching Up With Roose-
Welt" in the Munsey for March, tho
former President has proved to his OPP
ponents the soundness Of the policies
they most vigorously fought. One OF
these instances was President Roose-
velts determined measures tc-sinsure
the construction of the Panama Canal,
which we're bitterly opposed. Says the
writer:
The opposition rallied for its last
stand in the attempt to override Mr.
Roosevelt's. wishes, and the recommen-
dations of the American engineering
experts, that a lock canal should be con-
s.ructed.
MIR. Roosevelt opposed 1t because OF
the great expense, the uncertainty as tc
it's feasibility, and the much longer time
necessary to build IT. He wanted a
canal with locks, such as Is now almost
completed; and II is interesting TO re.
call that the Presidents estimates oil
cost and time have been justified by
the actual experience OF construction.
The canal Is TO be opened to the
worlds commerce in 1913. The misgiv.
ings and uncertainties so boisterouslS
proclaimed by Roosevelts opponents
have long since been forgotten in the
national satisfaction at the proXimatC
and assured completion by this Gov
eminent of the greatest engineering
work ever performed by men-the big

Julia Murdock Tells of Actress Fad
In Good for the Benefit of Others

One imagines that actresses are such
busy people that they have little time
tor devote TO ads, but Miss George
dip, the charming little lady who plays
Polly In Polly Of the Circus" which
is at the Academy this week, has fad
which not only affords her great deal
of interest and satisfaction, but helps
others as well. Her fad is millinery.
Not hats for herself especially, but hats
for other people-anybody who will buy
them, for Miss dip applies shrewd busi-
ness methods to this fad OF hers.
She has hit upon the novel idea of
helping the girls OF the small town in
Maine where she spends her vacations.
Before Miss dip adopted the stage she
spent some time in a millinery school
in Boston, taking several prizes in the
school where she was under instruc-
| ton. The work SO appealed TO her after
she had become successful as an ac-
tress. and the summer days hung heav-
| lily upon her hands, she decided to start
a millinery class in the small town in
which she spent her vacation, and give
millinery lessons to any of the young
| girls of the village who cared to accept
, her instruction. The only requirement
necessary for a girl to become a member
of Miss dips class was to be poor, for
| her idea was TO help the girls who
! otherwise would have become members
| of the overcrowdcd and poorly paid
cotton mill forces of New England.

came necessary to move II to Boston

A girl is allowed TO stay IN the dip

which she must go to make room for

an dip girl to find employment, for
usually she, receives precedence above
all others. No profit is derived from
the sales in Miss dips store, other
than enough to pay the running ex-

the comforts of life during their APP
