The Price

The Miller Opera House will have
al its attraction on Tues. April LIST
for an engagement of one night only
Edna Marshall in The Price"
which set all New York theatregoers
agog last season by the great
strength it developed as a drawing
attraction. 1t far outlived its orig
inal booking at the Hudson Theatre.
In The Price" George Broachurst
its author, has character of very hu-
man people, and the story is one
which is frank in its appeal to the
emotions. A young girl sins and
suffers and is all but forgiven by the
man she loves who cannot overlook
an offense she did not commit, but
which be believes she did.

Washington, March 22.-The Will
son administration will name post
masters in South Dakota without re-
gard to the Richards primary law,
which required that elections shall
shall be held. A conference on this
subject was held between Postmaster
General Burleson and Jas. Coffey,
democratic state chairman of South
Dakota. Mr. Coffey informed the
postmaster general that under the
new primary law of his state il
would be impossible to hold such
elections prior to May, 1914,
The postmaster general said that
in such an event this bridge would
not be crossed until he should come
to it. In the meantime Mr. Burleson
will recommend such appointments
as shall be endorsed by the organic
atior consisting of Il. S. Johnson,
former national committeeman, and
Thomas Taubman, national commit
teman. and James Coffey. state
chairman.
List of PostmaSters
With this understanding the or
~ganization will recommend the ap-
pointment af the following candi-
dates for postoffices where the
commissions Of the present post
masters have expired:
Aberdeen-John +. Kelley.
Beresford-Willam Brady.
Eureka-George G.. Knickerbocker
Groton-W. r. Veiton.
Memo Dennis Riley.
Neutrality-suspicious. Ryan.
The postmaster general informed
Mr. Coffey that his department had
just decided upon a a rule which
would have a very important bearing
in many cases. 1t was tina, every
person who shall be appointed to an
office, the salary of which amounts
to $1,000 or more. must give up all
other business and devote his entire
time 10 the office.

Hand County,
The bridges so far put in over
Hand county creeks and draws, are
good ones No one denies this. AnC
the Bridge Co. guarantees that any
one of them will bear up two trac,
ton engines, or eve more weight,
if possible to get it on the bridge.
Would it be strange if there might
be a cheaper bridge than this guar.
anteed structure? Not at all, be
cause there is always cheaper ma.
terial than the best, and there is al.
ways poorer and cheaper labor than
the best. To get the best, the
strongest, the safest. usually costs
more, don't it? OF course. any
sensible man knows that. Let us
give just one Illustration A com.
mittee of business men put up a
grand stand on the fair grounds a
few years ago. To make it abso
lutely safe the contractor was told
he must build the best. He did,
and it cost over $1,000. A grand
stand could have been built there
just as large for $500. but not as
good, as strong, as safe. Does any
one imagine for a moment that there
was any graft IN that extra expense?
No. 1t went into the structure.
And so with the county work. The
Commissioners have complied with
the request for bridges to the best
of their judgment. under the law
and conditions surrounding. If
some detail here or there could have
been better, why that is only natur-
al with all o. u undertakings.
Now as to the best kind of a
bridge to build? That is a matter
for an honest difference of opinion.
Some like the steel bridge best;
others like the concrete. Prehaps
like everything else, both have their
good and bad points. The Press is
inclined to the concrete bridge that
is, the properly made. and properly
steel-reintorced bridge, erected by
experienced concrete men. The
idea that anyone can gather up ma
terial On the prairie and make a
proper concrete bridge is a bit of
childish humor too absurd for men
to discuss. Ii takes knowledge and
experience to build a good, perman-
ent bridge. with proper reinforce
ment, and made up to a required
demand in strength.
The plans at the court house, and
the bid of the Iowa Bridge Co.
overs both steel and concrete
bridges. The Commissioners can
call for either under this bid.
Other states are building concrete
bridges. and it may be well to test
their benefits here. The bid for
Hand county is $ll.75 per cubic
yard for concrete bridges. The
Highway Commission of Illinois
gives a report of 33 concrete bridges
built last year at an average cost of
Sll.36 per yard. The difference IN
price would just about pay the diff.
in freight-vnc cement.

THOUSANDS KILLED
IN STORM AND FLOOD
Ohio Rivers Overflow and Drown
Thousands

Dayton. Ohio, March 26-Dayton,
except for its most remote suburbs
tonight. was covered with a seeth.
ing flood of water from s to 20 feet
deep. Any attempt to estimate the
loss of life is hopeless. 1t is sure to
u into the hundreds and probably
thousands. The property loss will
total millions of dollars.
The flooded district comprises
practically a circle with a radius of
a mile and a half and in no place is
the water less than six feet deep.
In Main street in the down town
section the water is 20 feet deep.
Fires Add to Horror
The horrors Of the flooded district
were heightened by more than a
dozen fires which can be seen in the
flooded district but out of reach of
the fire fighters.
Most of the business houses and
nearly all of the residences have &C.
cupants but are out of reach of the
firemen.
Down town the offices are filled
with men unable to get home and on
the upper floors and on some of the
roofs are helpless women and chill
dren. Hundreds of houses, SUBJ
stantial buildings, with their help
less occupants were washed away.
Floods, with loss of life and pro-
perty. are also reported from
Indiana, Illinois and Missouri.
Last Friday twenty states of the
middle west and south were swept
by a disastrous storm. of wind, ram
and snow. The high record of a
gale blowing SO miles per hour
comes from Michigan, while all
through the Mississippi valley and
southern states great damage was
sustained to life and property by the
wind. In some places the twisting
tornado. commonly called cyclone,
created great havoc.
This wind, coming from the south
reached South Dakota, but was just
a good stiff blow here, and very
little damage is reported, Rumors
are heard of some loss of cattle.
Disaster at Omaha
Another terrific storm in the
shape of the twiSter struck Omaha
Sunday evening, and swept through
many blocks Of the city. This
cyclone was six blocks wide and it.
plowed through eight miles Fires
broke out in many parts of the city.
The first reports flashed out where
eve wires found still up was
that a 1000 people had been killed.
Later reports disputed this.
Chicago. Ill.,, March 24.-There
are 223 dead and 694 injured in yes
terday's storm throughout the CEN
trail states. These reports are based
on the reports from various districts
received late tonight.
Omaha's dead number 100 and
Terre Haute. the second largest
number at one place. reports l3
dead: 16 at Yutan. Neb., and IL at
Council Bluffs are other places
where 10 or more we're killed. Ber-
lin, Neb. 7; Glenwood, Ia, 2, and
Bartlett, 2. There are perhaps l.
500 persons homeless and 5000
buildings damaged to some extend.
Indiana, Illinois. Michigan, Iowa and
Nebraska are the states where the
storm took its death toll. Floods
swept Wisconsin cities causing thou
sands of dollars damage. Sleet,
snow and wind in general through
out the central northern section pre-
vailed.

IN MEMORlAM.

Rev. VIM, Harvey Cooper was
born on Wesser Creek. Macon Co.,
N. c., February 5th, 1885, and died
at his home. at Snoal Creek, July
18th, 1913. He was the son OF
Whittenal Cornelius Cooper and
Cynthia Conley. On his fathers
side he was of the we'll known old
English family of Coopers. and On
his mothers side of the equally
well established Scotch family Of
COnleys. His maternal grandfather
was James Conley, who came to
the mountains from Burke in plOn-
eer days and settled the creek, in
What is now Swain county, which
bears his name. This sturdy old
miner and sapper" of civilization
was, true to his Sco,s blood. a seri-

A MISTAKE CORRECTED

A typographical error made us
say, last week, that the Southern
Railway had quoted rate of eighty
cents per hundred pounds on a car
load of apples from here to De Soto
County, Florida, distance of $50
miles.
1t should have been 400 miles:
and in justice to the Southern we
will add that it's rate to, Jackson
vile was only 80 cents, while the
Atlantic Coast Line charged fifty
cents from Jacksonville or, nearly
twice as much as the Southern
charged and for little more than.
half the distance. The rate is pro-
hibitory, but it is not the fault of
the Southern. We are slad to make
this correction. We think the South
ern is trying to encourge apple
growing here. GEO. P. MILLER.

l knew Rev. Cooper intimately
from my childhood. All men have
failings. I presume he had his.
He was exact to the minutest in
in shis business transactions. His
mentality was normal and health
full, affording a safe and sane guide
to conduct. His spirit was genial,
at times playful. but his code of
morals was strict as that of the
Spartans. In manners he was mild
and suave, chivalric and courteous
uniformly. in religion a tireless,
devout, orthodox worshiper. He
was a man of much patience and
pleasing temper. He loved his
family with a tender devotedness
akin to worship.
When / last visited him in his
home he was declining toward his
taking off. He was very kindly and
personal in his conversation, for we
were related Jy ties of blood as
we'll as friendship, and among o her

it is written in his diary that Rev.
Cooper, his young wife sitting be-
side him on a trunk and nursing
her infant, drove one hundred miles
in farm wagon over the muddiest
and rudest of roads in order to pass
from one point 10 another in his

The Skull of Descartes.

From the London Times
DR. Paul Richer, professor Of anatomy
at the School of Fine Arts, Il sculptor
and gifted engrayer of medals. together
with NJ CASTOR DarboIX. has finished the
task intrusted to him by the Academy of
Fine Arts of comparing tilc reputed skull
OF Descartes with the various portraits
of the great philosopher. The authen-
ticity of the skull has often been uues-
toned, and many efforts have been made
in the past to establish its right 10 a
place in the museum of the Academy of
Fine Arts. For the purposes of compar-
ison. drawing was prepared represent
ing the skull of the portrait of Descartes by
Frans Halls At the same time. but by
other hands, the reputed skull in the mu-
scum was sketched at the same angle and
to the same scale as that of Halls por-
trait. When the drawings We're placed
one upon the other the similarity was
almost complete. The same process was
adopted in comparing the skull with por-
traits of DescarteS by Bourbon and Bee.
In these cases the resemblances though
striking. were not conclusive as those
between the skull ana the portrait V
Frans Halls, which. according TO the re-
port Of Prof Richer, establish the au-
thenticity of the skull IN the museum.
