bR|NKER CASE
The Showing Will Be the Means
of General Investi-
CATION

Pierre, Feb. s .-Gov. Byrne will
I'll the vacancy caused by the resisna.
ton of F. f. Brinker, commissioner
of school and public lands. The prin-
cipal applicants for the place are Fred
Hepperlee, of Eureka. who was defeat
ed as a primary candidate for secretary
of state, and ID. M. Smith. of Miller,
once railway commissioner of this
state. now at the head of the house en-
rolling force.
Briefly the situation which opened
up the case was the accidental discov-
cry of a voucher for travel expenses on
the part of a man who was looking for
something else on other matters, and
which he knew personally to be
wrong. He took the matter to Attor-
ney General johnson, who started an
investigation and due up the different
vouchers and the man whose name was
signed to the vouchers, g. Louis Grau-
81. The true situation then came to
the surface. The whole matter was
laid before the Investigating commit
tee, which was already at work, and
they succeeded in making a case
against Brinker.
While there are many other allega-
tions of irregularities in the depart
ment, nothing has yet developed out
side the line opened up. The commit
tee will continue its work and Gov.
Byrne will recommend to the legisla-
ture that an appropriation be provided
to keep the committee in session after
the adjournment of the legislature to
continue its work as to that and
other departments.
There are rumors of course of all
kinds of irregularities in the land de-
partment but If there are anything
more than mere irregularities which
bad no financial features back of them
they are not revealed. The timber on
one school section was sold by the de.
partment some time ago, and that will
be Investigated before the committee
completes its work. Bids for several
million feet of timber on the state
forest reserve were advertised for early
in this month. but wneu the date fol
opening the bids arrived, several laws
had been introduced changing the
manner of handling state timber, and
no bids were allowed, but it is one of
the rumoIs that an agreement was
reached in regard TO future sales at
that time. But that is all rumor, and
is open to investigation with other
matters. AS in most cases of hand
ling public money there have been
rumors for a year or more that there
have been Irregularities in other de-
paItments than the land department,
and while these may or may not have
a foundation, il will be the work of
the committee now to investigate all
of these propositions, and leave each
department or officer with a clear
"bill of health" or find out If there
is really anything back of these ru-
mors. Just how far the whole thing
will develop is the story of the next
few days or weeks, according to what
the committee is able to dig up.

YOUNGSTER LOVE
Experience of a Young Couple
Recently Married at
Woonsocket

Mitchell, Feb. 2S.-That the path
of tue love does not alwys run smooth
is the opinion of Floyd Case and Miss
Van Cleve. both children of prominent
farmers who live near Woonsocket.
The young couple were married in
that city recently and came to Mitchell
on their honeymoon. They stopped
with friends here and for a short time
all went lovely. The couple in fact
had attracted attention for being IN
usually affectionste when in each
others presence. Married people can
not live on love alone however, and
the young groom had no Job. Yestel.

stated he was going to collect a debt of

News came to her that her husband had
been arrested in Letcher. Event fol-
lowed event and finally the girls
mother arrived in Mitchell and the
pretty Miss. still in tears was taken
home. Communication with LetcheI
fails to elicit any information of why
the young man was taken into custody,
as he claimed to be over eighteen
years of age. The town marshall of
the neighboring city, simply stated
that the matter had been settled and
then refused to state what charge bad
beon preferred against him. 1t is
presumed however. that the parents
of the couple have agreed to forgive
and forget and that the newly made
bride and groom are now happily re-
united.

A Tasty
Decorated Home

Its somewhat of a hobby with me. l
like to show people all the new effects,
that come out new each year. If you
care to read, what l write, you might
get some suggestions, that you can use
in your own home. l shall try to treat
each room in q house from now on,
starting today with the reception room.
Among the new styles for this room
is a very handsome imitation leather
effect ON a Tiffany blended or mottled
background, with every detail of tex
ture and irridescence of color the names
imply, faithfully reproduced.
The monotony of a perfectly plain
wall is relieved by the occasional intro
duction of a suitable motif where wall
space OF personal taste might suggest,
thus lending individuality to the effect.
At the top of the wall is a beautiful
cut out border of Heraldic design ap-
pliqued over a plain background com
plotting the effect of an intricate stem
Gil or freehand decoration. The lower
wall is finished with a figured pat
tern of suitable design with a mar
row band of the same material as a
diyider between the upper and lower
walls. The colors are in subdued
shades of brown, tan and ecIu with "a
slight touch of red in the blend. This
kind of effects al be had in cheaper
paper as well, so the price need e
interfere. l am here to show you and
explain any time you care to put your
time up against mine.

Appeal to GOv. Colds
borough for Help

BALTIMORE. Nd. Nov. 5-Follow-
ing the burning OF two buildings by
enraged oystermen near Cristield
Monday night. the Somerset county
authorities today appealed to Cover
nor Goldsborough and State Fire
Marshal Myers to send Baltimore city
detectives to the scene TO prevent
further outrages, and catch the Of
lenders.
States Attorney Gordon Tull, at
Princess Anne. said that he had tele-
graphed urgent appeals to the gov
ernor and Marshal Myers and that
he wanted the State authorities TO
take vigorous action
In the meantime planters who have
suffered at the hands OF the dis
gruntled oystermen are fearing fur
ther outbreaks and added their
voices to the appeal for action on the
part of the State.
Advices from Marion Station, neal
Crislield, yesterday todd how a band OF
oystermen had descended on the grounds
OF the +. A. Tull Oyster Company, at
Cranes Point. in the Big AnnemesseS
River, Monday night, burned two
buildings and driven of a watchman In
the employ OF the Tull Company.
Other messages from the scene oi
trouble said that the George A. Cox in
terests, which are largely owned anC
I operated by Baltimoreans, also suffered
at the hands of the oystermen. Il wal
reported that 1900 bushels of oysters
had been taken from the Cox beds. anc
as assistance was asked of the oyster
police it was Thought that the tongers
were still at worl, there.
A. 4. Tull. who suffered the loss OF
I the burned houses, said the men de-
scended on his place under cover OF
darkness and at the point of a rife
held up the watchman. After driv-
ing him from the place, Mr.. Tull as
serts the men set FIRE to buildings
owned by the oyster company and left
without interference by the local au-
lthorities.
Immediately after learning the ex-
tent Of the damage, Mr.. Tull notified
States Attorney Gordon Tull, al
Princess Anne.
Because yesterday was a legal holi-
iday the fre marshal was not at his
Office. At late hour the Governor
said he had taken no action, mas
much as he had not then received
the appeal from the Somerset States
Attorney.

81 Walk to MY Meals and Eat All
Want, Then a Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablet Makes Good Fer Me-


When your system is robbed Of its
natural digestive juices, in their cor
rect proportion, a little candy-like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet gives to
them the qualities they lack and you
thereby rest the digestive apparatus
and allay irritationn, pain, gas and
stomach trouble.
Pepsin such as used in a Stuart
tablet is one of natures greatest aids;
and when this is combined with the
other ingredients you simply bring
happiness to every worn-out nerve OF
the stomach, liver, lntestines, pan
lcreas and other organs.
Predigested foods will not aid Ia
ture il she insists on manufacturing
the wrong juices. Besides this the
bowels need coarse and heavy foods
in order to make bowel pack which
! is vitality essential to health.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets mix with
the food in the stomach, have
tendency to stop gas formation, sour
stomach, decay, etc; then as the food
passes into the lower digestive tract
1.-THE intestines) il takes the Stuarts
digestive agents with II, and there Is
where the real work is done.
The nutritive value Of food and
tablet is separated from the waste
matter and is assimilated and distri-
buted into the proper parts OF the
body. The blood is enriched and ths
liver stored with the qualities the
system needs.
Go to your druggist now and bu,
la box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets

but take a tablet afterwards. TheI
will come to you the beginning of th'
end OF all your stomach troubles an'
