Many nice and useful special
prizes are being offered by Hepp-

poultry show exhibitors. Some
of these are ornamental only, but
many will be useful articles in
the poultryman's line and should
be means of greatly stimulating
interest in the show.

POPPER'S ANSWER TO LIST
Cellist's Gentle Retort to the Conn
poser's Seeming Attack on the
Jewish Race.

Among the anecdotes told about the
late David Pepper is an interesting
n relating to List. 1t is we'll known
that many Of the pages attributed to
List were really written by the Prin-
cess Sayn-Wittgenstein. The most
fragrant instance was the insertion by
her in n of his books of some page
attacking the Jews and advising their
deportation in a body to Palestine.
List was greatly annoyed at this, for
such sentiments were entirely foreign
to his character, and many of his best
friends were Jews; among them David
Pepper, the famous violoncellist. Not
long after the appearance of the book
referred to Pepper made a call on
List. who was delighted to see him,
and asked when he came and where
he was going. Il am on the way to
Palestine, dear master. in accordance
with your Wishes" was the prompt an
swer.

Three Hurt at Wentworth.

Madison.-While crossing the track
on the main street of Wentworth, T.
l.. Bergstresser, Mrs. Klumpner and
daughter were run into by a freight
train and thrown from the automobile
in which they were riding. They were
on their return from Madison and un-
dertook to cross the track going south
into Wentworth. Mr.. B~ergstresser
failed to notice the freight train back
ing up on the sidetrack behind the
elevator and the steps of the caboose
struck the rear fender of the car as
it passed over the track, overturning
the auto and throwing out the occu-
pants. Mrs. Klumpner IA severely
cut about the head and an operation
has been foun necessary; Miss
Klumpner was bruised about the head
and body and is confined to her bed;
Mr.. Bergstresser was not materially
injured, but his car was badly dam
aged.

Old Mexican Coins Found.

Pierre.-A find of old Mexican coins
was made by a homesteader a short
distance up the river from Fort Pierre.
He showed several of the coins, some
of them dating back to 1926, and ad-
mitted that he had found several dol
lars in a pile where they had evident
ly lain for many years, and that an
old wagon trail crossed the spot, n
a part of the coins were found scat
tered along this trail. He refused to
say where his find was located other
than that it was UP river from Fort
Pierre, and that he intended to go to
the place prepared to work over the
ground to see what more he could
find. The place where the coins were
found showed long burial and the
hoard is no doubt n which was
either buried by some of the early
trappers who came up the river, or by
some members of an early exploring
expedition, who vas probably tighten
ing his burden when being chased by
hostile Indians.

Lemmon.--Judge r. l.. Dillman or

sentence on Joseph Hickman, the
quarter blood negro who was arrest
ed after the murder of Mrs. Ellen Fox
and her 14-year-old daughter in their
homestead shack e Bixby, on sus-
picion of having committed the crime.
Hickman, who had been in Jail at
Bison, the county seat, ever since the
murders were discovered, confessed
soon after his arrest that he had kill
ed the woman and girl, but owing to
the excited state of public opinion at
the time, this fact was kept a secret.
He made a written confession OF the
murders, and Judge Dillman sentenced
him to be hanged on December 3.
Rickman's dreadful deed was COM
mitted because Mrs. Fox objected to
his attentions to her daughter, with
whom Hickman was greatly infatuated
and wanted to marry, though she was

age and part negro.
Hickman received his sentence with

back stairs on the ground floor. and
bathroom, On the second floor, briefly
describes the house-plan here shown.
The house Is "a feet 6 inches wide and
"A feet long, without measuring the
porch. and can be built, under favor
able conditions OF the market for ma
terial and labor, for about $2,750. A
distinctive feature is the front hall
with its pretty, open, winding stair
way with a closet underneath for
hats and coats, and three doorwnys
which give access to three different
,rooms-an unusual feature in house
construction. OF course, there are
many long, winding halls that reach
away back and communicate every
where, but they are not economical
Of In this case the hall occu-
pies very little space; but the con-
venience and artistic effect are much
greater than In most halls, although
others may be much more pretentious.
1t is a great thing. in building, to utilize
space to the best advantage. Measure
ments are arbitrary. In q given
ground space, the fact must be rec
ognized that the enlargement of one
room means that the next one must
be smaller. This hall is large enough
for all practical purposes, and It
leaves plenty of room for the parlor,
dining room and sitting room.
The parlor is the smallest of the
three, and rightly so. Parlors are fast
going out OF date. Their principal use
has been for weddings and funeralS,
and the way some of them are fur
nished leaves a funeral flavor all the
time. The conventional parlor Is the

SEWAGE Disposal plant.

Aberdeen.-The big sewage dispos-
al plant at Aberdeen, for which the
city voted bonds in the sum of $780,
600, is nearing completion, and En-
gineer w. G. Potter, in charge of the
work, states he will be in a position
TO turn the work over to the city,
complete. within a few weeks. Furth-
ermore, he says that Of the $500, 900
which it was estimated the plant
would cost, about $780, 900 will be turn
back into the city treasury, the total
cost being not to exceed $3.50, 900.
The sewage disposal plant was almost
as important an item to Aberdeen as
the Panama canal is to the United
States. The growth Of the city had
reached such a point that the exist
ing sewage disposal plant was made
quate. and as the city is not located
on a flowing stream of water. the prob
lem was a somewhat difficult one:
Experts we're consulted and a plan was
evolved which promises to work to
perfection. The preliminary estimates
for the work placed the total cost
at $200,0 900, and Aberdeen citizens
were ~agreeably surprised when the
announcement was made that the
plant is actually being constructed for
$4,000 less.

drew near for them to leave the place
where they had lived for many years,

The bidding started at SIS an acre

was finally knocked down to Mr.. Pond

IMPROVEMENTS AT HURON.

Huron.-The improvements being

been occupied and is practically fin.
ished with the exception of a few
finishing strokes. The old freight de-
pot has been moved away from its

Whether it will remain in this loca-

two weeks of good weather the out

the Cyclops. The bunkers of the bat
tleships will be full of coal when they
leave Hampton roads. With the three
new coal ships blowing in it's wake,
the fleet of dreadnoughts will demon
strate its ability to subsist for a three
month cruise without calling in any
outside source of supply whatever.
No ship will take on coal other than
from the accompanying Golfers from
the time it leaves Hampton roads un-
til it's return, a period of nearly three
months.
The same g true with reference to
supplies for the $500 men who are
making the cruise. The larder of all
the ships will be full when the cruise
is begun. The great cold storage com
partments will be stocked with frozen
meat and throughout the trip the men
will have as good food as when in a
home port. The supply ship Celtic,
which is the last word in the way of
an up-to-date refrigeration plant afioat,
will accompany the feet, and from it's
stores the dreadnoughts will draw
men necessary, although it is figured
that the three-month cruise could be
made even without the supply ship.
This self-dependence of the feet is
intended as a demonstration of the
possibilities in time of need. The
fleet wants to show that it can go
forth and give an account of itself
for three months without the neces-
sity Of returning to the home port.
There are few campaigns at sea that
would require more than three
months. Conflicts at sea that would
make world history could be initiated
and brought to a conclusion in less
time. Almost any point in the world
could be reached from our supply
bases and the force of the whole navy
hurled against it without any occa-
sion to worry about food and fuel.
When nine of the great dread
noughts of the Atlantic fleet steam out
Of Hampton roads a force will have
been set in motion that is almost be-
yond conception. Each of these nine
vessels will represent a weight Of
10000 tons. The nine, together with
the golfers and supply ship, would
weigh more than 100000 tons. To
carry the weight here represented
would require $500 freight cars,
which, strung out on the tracks, would
make a line thirty miles long. When
steam is up and these ships are NOV
ing at the rate of twenty knots an
hour there is a force in motion that
comes near being irresistible.
