He Took Drug.
From fridays Daily.l


Harry Powell, who attempted to
commit >hicide yesterday noon by
taking poison died at $50 o'clock
last evening from the effects Of the
drug. He took the poison at 11:45
o'clock yesterday morning and by
1890 DR.. Conklin had the most OF
it removed from Mr.. Powell's stom-
ach. Too much OF the poison was

fore 1t was removed, which caused
his death.
Mrs. Powell noticed her husband
had a package yesterday morning
and attempted to take 1t away from

a knife he had in his hand, so she
left him alone.

told several friends he knew he was
insane and did not want to live
Mr.. Powell went blind 80 minutes
before he died. He leaves wife

WHY DYING Miser Sent for Him.


A young contractor in a Missouri
town found himself after the war in
dire financial straits. He owned a
few pieces of property, all Of which
were mortgaged-the mortgage in
each instance being held by an old
man who lived with his one son,
Brocky, in a tumbledown hut that
could not be rented to anyone else.
In the course of time the miser fore
closed, taking over all the contractors
property, which was valued in excess
of the amounts loaned. The contractor
began to pay rent on the house In
which he lived.
Three months after the foreclosure
the miser lay dying. An urgent mes
sage reached the contractor, and he,
supposing that the other. knowing his
end to be near, wanted to make what
restitution he could for the good OF
his soul, hurried down to the cabin.
He found the old man In rickety bed,
covered with a tatterei quilt and an
old overcoat The contractor bent his
ear hopefully to the others lips. The
miser drew a long breath, clutched
the quilt in a skinny hand, and whis-
pered:
Pay your next months rent to
Brocky."

What 10 Going On Here and There
That is Of Interest to the Read
ers Throughout South d.
kota and Vicinity.

Sioux Falls.-To expend an aggre-
gate of $500 in defending himself
and indemnifying his bondsmen and,
wear in the Sioux Falls penitentiary
is what a practical joke cost Edward
Bell, young man who formerly lived
in Moody county. After becoming in
volved in the trouble, which has land
ed him in the penitentiary, he went to
the British northwest, where he is
the owner of a homestead.
Bell pleaded guilty in the state cir
cult court of Moody county to the
charge of grand larceny. Some months
ago, while yet resident of Moody
county, himself and three other young
men were visiting different saloons
and drinking heavily. One of his
companions, named Wathier, dis
played roll of bills, and it was sug-
gested to him that he leave the money
with saloonkeeper or he would lose
1t. Wathier replied that he had car
ried many larger rolls and had never
lost a cent.
IL
that it would be good joke if Wath-
ier's companions could get the money
away from him without his knowing
it, and, after they had some fund with
him, to return it. During the night
Bell went into Wathier's room and
took the money while the owner was
asleep. Bell turned the money over
to one Of the other young men. When
Wathier awake he missed the money,
and not considering the matter as a
joke summoned the sheriff and de-
manded that the person who took the
money be arrested. The money soon
afterward was returned to Wathier,
not directly, but through the mail to
the sheriff, who gave it to Wathier.
Bells arrest followed and he furnish
ed a bond of $500 for his appearance
in the state circuit court to answer to
the charge of grand larceny.
When court convened in October
the defendant failed to appear and the
bond was. declared forfeited to the
county. Bell afterward paid the bonds
men the amount from Canada during
another term of court held in Moody
county few days ago, and the case
terminated as stated, he being given
the minimum sentence of one year in
the penitentiary. Practical joking has
no further attractions for him.
