After SIX months actual fighting OF
what is, perhaps, our greatest national
problem, Mrs. Tyler has some original
and remarkable observations to make
regarding every phase OF immortality.
She says:
Let Us not merely defend ourselves
against this awful evil, but let us take
the offensive and go out and fight the
monster which otherwise will destroy
every fiber of morality in the world.
Many girls OF the streets are not
forced into such a life through pow.
crty. Girls of the best families, with
beautiful homes and families, are not
secure Many of them have contided
TO me that 1t was the lure OF the
bright lights, the Intoxicating music
and the merry tingle of glass-all
made so attractive by commercial en-
terprise-that first led them to barter
soul and body.
Therefore, since none of our girls
are ACTUALLY Sdlc lIoHl TIE lure, VIC
must really censor every cafe, theater
or resort We must make them clean
or close them.
Next we ought TO establish clean,
wholesome places where young girls
and young men can meet for social in
tercourse, legitimate craving OF
youth.
And, last. there should be many
matrons of the streets in every city.

courts have held that all such jury
lists should be quashed to be sure
that the exclusion OF certain classes
and territory could not be prejudical
TO the defendant.
These men would have you treat
the deviation from the statutes that
the commission allowed. as mere ir-
Irregularities. But the Michigan courts
have held that such deviations are
more than mere Irregularities. They
are a basis for throwing out their
work altogether. The provisions OF
the law cannot be set aside even
though 1t appears that neither side is
injured.
The law was not followed by this
jury commission in the exclusion OF
certain classes and territory. That
deviation is enough to quash the
whole list.
IF the jury commissioners can ex-
cludc one ward they can exclude two
or three, or any number they want.

FIRES BY
INCENDIARIES
BARN AT ABERDEEN CONTAIN.
ING rs HORSES AND TWO COWS
BURNED-TWO OTHER
FIRES PUT OUT.

Aberdeen, S. D.-Three fires, all
of them of incendiary origin, were
discovered early Thursday morning
by the fire department officials of this
city. The first fire found was that
at the barn belonging to Schilo Bros,
the firm eXcavating on the site of the
new city hall here. and before any
effort could be made to ave the
building it was burning beyond con
troll. Sixteen fine horses and two
COWS persisted in the barn, the total
loss being about $1,000. Another barn
in the same neighborhood, belonging
to Caspar Keller, was set Attire but
Keller's daughter saw the flames and
eXtinguished the blaze before it had
a chance to get far. Oil soaked rags
were found in the jefferson school
building, most of them burned up. 1t
is thought that a draft through the
room eXtinguished the blaze before
any great damage al done. A Win
dow pane was cracked from the heat
of the flames and the sill was scorch-
ed a bit. The police are out looking
for the culprit.

MEETING.
PROSPER FARMERS
VALUES OF THE SILO WILL BE
DISCUSSED AT NEXT MEET.
ING WHICH WILL OCCUR
FRIDAY NIGHT.

The regular meeting of the Pros
per Township Farmers club will be
held Friday evening, June 13. This
promises to be an intensely interest
ing meeting. The farmers of the COM
munity are going to discuss the
value of a silo. Much of the discus
sion will consist of the actual eX-
perience that many of the farmers
of this community have had with
them for there are a number of the
farmers who have been supplied with
them fora number of years. How
ever these who own them are so en-
thusiastic about their value that
they are willing to tell their neigh
bors about the profit derived from
them.
Mr.. e. p. Sand and Mr.. Chas.
Boerson will lead the discussion.
Others will participate. 1t may be
safely predicted that as a result OF
this meeting a number of farmers
will seriously consider the construc-
ton of a silo for their use the com
ing year.
Other important business will be
transacted and other interesting NUN
bers will be on the program. Every
body invited.

Cottonwood Trial Re-
suits in Acquittal of
Accused.
A STREET AFFAIR
Public Chastisement Caused
by Remarks Against Mrs.
Turner.

Cottonwood, S. D.-As the result
of a trial which continued a great
part of the day and was attended by
nearly the entire population, a ver-
diet of not guilty was returned in the
case of Mrs. r. X. Turner, charged
with publicly horsewhipping Mrs,
John Slack a few days ago.
The horsewhipping, which was adj
ministered in front of the local hotel,
in the most conspicuous portion OF
the business district. created a great
sensation at the time. From the street
in frontof the hotel Mrs. Turner pur-
sued the victim of her wrath into a
store plying the whip with such vigor
that blood was drawn. She desisted
only when the whip broke. The punt
shment inflicted was so severe that
the injured woman had to have her
injuries attended to by a physician.
The trouble between the two wo-
men originated when Mrs. Slack is al
legged to have made remarks reflect
ing ON the character of Mrs. Turner.
Mrs. Turner armed herself with the
horsewhip, and, meeting Mrs. Slack
on the street, first demanded an apol-
ogy, and when this was refused she
commenced to ply the whip.

PRAIRIE DOG SHOWS
UP IN WHITE RIVER

White River, S. D.-This place
has just experienced the novelty of
being invaded by a prairie dog
probably the first instance on rec
ord in which n of these remark
ably shy little animals has appear
ed on the streets of an inhabited
town. 1t is supposed to have come
from a large prairie dog town" some
miles from town, but what caused it
to wander SO far from home and
appear upon the streets of White
River is a mystery. The prairie dog
is one of the most cautious of ami
mails. living very close to the opening
to his underground home. and it is
extremely difficult for the best marks
men to shoot and kill n of them.
The prairie dog that appeared here
soon was surrounded by men and
boys and finally was attacked and
killed by a town dog.

RARE WHITE ROBIN IS
FOUND AT DELL RAPIDS

Dell Rapids, S. D.-Walter Crisp,
a prominent resident of this place,
has succeeded in capturing and plac-
ing in captivity n of the most rare
of birds-a white robin. While
cutting the grass on his lawn he
brushed aside the branches in which
a. pair of grown robins had their
nest, and alarmed the birds so that
four young robins left the nest and
attempted to fly. Three of them
were of ordinary color, but Mr..
Crisp vas surprised to note that
the fourth was pure white, with
pink eyes. Crisp succeeded in cap
turing the white robin, and now has
imprisoned it in a wire cage hidden
in the foliage of an evergreen trees,
where it is secure, and where par
ent birds visit it and feed it. Crisp
states he will give the rare bird its
freedom as soon as it is strong
enough to fly. 1t is the first white
robin ever seen here or in this vi
entity.
