Many improvements
at City Cemetery
CEMETERY

CEMETERY Is
The editor Of the Saturday News
accompanied City Commissioner +. A.
iGountfynan and p. 0. Mimnaugh to
Mount Hope cemetery IN day last
week. Commissioner Countryman is
the head Of the cemetery work and
went out to see how things looked,
The reporter was agreeaSSi.,v sur.
prised at the marvellous change which
has takes place there this ummer.
For years this cemetery has been an
eye sore to the entire community but
now it is shaping itself into one Of
the prettiest cemeteries In the north
west
Why all this changer asked the
reporter.
Commds stoner Countryman smiled
and replied: ut is very simple
work-and employing a mar who un-
derstands his business to look after
things out here is the reason for all
this improvement. You see, the city
hired VIM. Nicol, the florist. to look
after the work out here and you can
see the result OF the work Of a man
who has the experience in planting
and growing flowers, trees and shrub
berry. We expect some day to pipe
the city water over here and then we
can have trees and lovely flower beds
all during the growing season. You
see that large lawn mower which Is
pulled by a horse? That was paid
for out OF a private subscription.
Don't it do fine work? You bet.
Commissioner countryman and Nh.
Nicol certainly deserve much credit
for the flne shape which they have
put the cemetery In in SO short d
time. The grass is neatly cut with
beautiful flower beds through
ont the cemetery and many other
noticeable improvements.
II these two men can work out their
plans WatertoWn will have one 81 the
prettiest cemeteries in the northwest

Encounter with Maniac

A reporter for the Saturday News
called at, DR.. Bartron's hospital Mon
day, and dropped in to see how Sher-
lift Frank Elkins was getting along
after his encounter with a maniac
some time ago. The reporter found
Mr.. Elkins sitting up in a chair and
looking out Of a window. In answer
to an inquiry how he felt, he said:
II am feeling pretty good now and
| will be able to leave the hospital in
a day or two. Yes, l had a very mar
row escape from death at the hands
of the lunatic. When I came to con
seriousness after the encounter / look

with the pieces of chair in his hands
and said: Keep away from ME or |

attention to his threats-I had hand

do was to tell him to do anything and
he complied with the orderI lust

Dad, 4 want that stick and you come
along with me- At that he sprang
for me and we clinched. / rushed
him back in the corner and tried to
take the piece of a chair away from

against the cage. He was right back
at me in an instant and / soaked him
again-Good and hard this time. HeI

When q man has suffered for sey.
era days with collie, diarrhoea or
other form Of bowel complaint and is
then cured sound and well by one or
two doses Of ChamberIain,s Colo,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, as Is
often the case, It is but natural that

OF the remedy, and especially is this
the case of a severe attack when life

Geo. W. Eagan will

Pierre FreesPress: Following the
adjournment OF the "get together re-
publican meeting in Sioux Falls last
week, George w. Egan announced
that he would be a candidate for
governor before the primaries to be
held in this state the last Tuesday In
March. MI Egen has twDch been
before the people Of this state as a
candidate for governor. In the first
campaign Mr.. Egan secured $1,000
votes. Two years later 10000 voters
cast their ballots for him, and he
failed to secure the nomination by a
narrow margin. The fact Of the in
creased vote given him is sufficient
evidence that he will be a strong man
in the coming contest for governor.
Friends of Hon. R. o. Richards Of
Huron, declare. that he is a candidate
for governor, and that he is in the
race to win. His friends in Pierre
are authority. for the statement that
Mr.. Richards will make the formal
announcement Of his candidacy early
