Nav 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 sever 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 an emf
grant travelling in his car took part
in the fight and admits firing a revolt
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.

Heavy Loss by Storm.

Pierre.-Blake Brothers, who herd
sheep on the Dakota-Wyoming line,
report that they suffered a severe loss
on account of sheep piling up in the
snow storm which visited that section
late in April. After the storm they
went out to skin dead animals, and in
n case found twenty head of sheep
which had been buried under the snow
for three days to be alive and well,
showing no i'll effects from their hav-
ing been buried SO long a time. But
later they discovered another case
which was more surprising to them,
as they pulled one sheep out Of q
snow bank the tenth day after the
storm, and found that it was yet alive.
1t vas not as frisky as were the ones
buried only three days, and required
some car in feeding to bring 1t
through, but after a few days it show
ed no i'll ecects from it's ten days fast

Hailstorm Over Wide Area.

P1erre.-The storm which visited
this city and vicinity showed several
peculiar features. With q 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 L IA cause.

The Day Of Memories

Memorial customs, introduced at the close OF
the Civil war, in compliance with plans made by
Commander-in-Chie John A. Logan, will be OBJ
served this year in thousands of cities, villages
and hamlets, the surviving veterans still taxing q
leading part in the exercises.
1t is they who have made the arrangements for
The ceremonies; they will go early to the GENE
teries and place blossoms upon the graves OF
their brother soldiers; they Will constitute .
pathetic and inspiring feature of the parade.
Some day they will not be here to plan and
execute for Memorial day. Some day they all
will have gone into camp on the plains and In
the cities Of the dead. Some day a grateful
public will look In vain for any OF them In the
parade. Then, what? Will the day and its beauti-
full, patriotic customs that were so dear to them,
cease to be remembered and observed2 Were
that question submitted to the people today 1t is
certain that the votes against remembrance and
observance would be too few for enumeration.
The soldiers have led the way; they have shown
the people how to plan and execute for a sue
cessful observance Of the day. There have been
not a few but thousands OF deeply Interested par
Elephants. All Of the patriotic societies that have
grown out Of the Civil war are among them, and
their members are numbered by the tens of thou
sands. Then there are the societies which have
come into existence as a rsult of the revolutionary
war, the war Of 1872, the war with Mexico, the
Spanish-America war and the Philippine insur-
rectfon. And these are not all. Millions Of men
and women who have come from the schools. and

Is possible to arrange.
In the vast amount OF work to be done at the
homes the inmates take their part and thereby
earn a little extra for themselves. for the gov
eminent pays them according to what they can
do. Some Of the homes have farms attached
on which the men do considerable of the work.
At other homes the men look after grounds, While
at all Of the homes there are those who act as
guards or guides.
The money they receive for their work is all
extra, for they receive their pensions just the
same, and they are at liberty to either spend
their funds for Injuries at the commissary or

send checks to their relatives. One
great trouble that the commandments
Of the various homes have had has
been the control Of the soldiers who
persist in patronizing the saloons
that are to be found just beyond
the gates, but, by vigilance, the old
men are kept from getting into any
trouble.
When a soldier Is stricken with

always we'll occupied, for there are

But what about the veterans who returned
from the front, torn by shot and she'll. unable to
resume their places in the ranks of the work
ers. without means of self-support and unwilling
to thrust themselves upon their kith and kin?
At the close of the Civil War, when more than
half a million men laid down their arms Of war
and, in a few months were transformed from
soldiers to citizens, the question Of what to do
with those who were incapacitated arose.
Pensions are we'll enough in their way. but
pensions are not sufficient" declared Congress-.
I'VE must do more" continued the members Of
both House and Senate. 1--WE must establish .
home for those who have no homes" and this
sentiment crystallized into what Is now one Of
the most important features with which the ma
don deals.
The National Home for disabled volunteer SOL
diers is located In the District Of Columbia.
There are branches Of the National Home at Day
ton, O.: Milwaukee. Wis; Togus, Me-; Hampton.
Va: Leavenworth, Kan; Santa Monica, CAL;
Marion, Ind: Danville, H.; Johnson City. Tenn,
and Hot Springs, S. D.
There are state homes for disabled volunteer
soldiers provided by the states Of California,
Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois. Indiana.
Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts. Michigan, Mime
sofa. Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hamp-
Shire, New Jersey. New York, North Dakota,
Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania. Rhode Island, South
Dakota, Vermont, Washington. Wisconsin and
Wyoming.
Some idea Of the extent of the properties sup
ported by the Federal government may be had
from the last report Of the board OF managers, In
which the acreage OF the homes is set down as
$500. valued at $4S3, 474.85. On this land are
buildings aggregating a value OF $1O,513.64S.4z.
To acquire this property, to maintain 1t and to
care for the thousands Of soldiers. the total out
lay up to the close OF 1911 has been In the neigh
borhood Of 800. 100000
When the first home was established. within
the year. there were go veterans cared for.
Then each succeeding year increased at the rate
OF almost 1000 per year until. In 1908, the great
est number, 34,949, were taken care OF. At the
same time the death rate among the veterans
Increased year by year, and from 1895 per 1000.
in 1867. it has advanced to $3.50 per 1000.
Yet. when one takes into consideration the
physical condition OF soldiers when admitted to
the homes, and that it has been A. years since
the Civil War, the death rate is really low, for
the average life OF the old soldiers has been q
trife more than 20 years-a ripe age for the ma
FORTY Of men. Indeed, this alone is a most not
abba tribute to the government for its excellent
care of it's wards.
