your back would break, when your

Gus depressed and suffer from those
dreadful bearing down pains, don't
forget that Lydia Z. Pinkham's Veg

of misery, as it has thousands of
other suffering women.

KILLS TIMBER WOLF
EAST OF MISSOURI

Pierre, S. D.-Grant Potts, a young
CORNER near Lebanon a few days G
sighted a large timber, or buffalo
wolf on his farm, and securing a gun
managed to get near enough the
animal to kill it before it escaped
into the rough ground near his farm.
The big wolf was six feet in length
and stood thirty-two inches high.
These animals which are such a ter
ror to the ranchers west of the Mis-
souri, are rarely seen on this side
Of the river. and the IL killed must
have been a STRAY" which had got
across the stream in some manner.

AFTER REBUFF
NEGRO ARRESTED AT MEADOW
HAD WANTED TO MARRY GIRL.
WHOM. WITH HER MOTH
ER, HE KILLED.

Meadow. S. D.-Damaging admis-
sions are said to have been made by
Joseph Hickman, charged with the
murder OF Mrs. Ellen Fox and her To-
year-old daughter, Mildred. whose
charred remains were found in the
ruins of their home near BiXby.
Feeling in this section is running high
and the authorities are taking extra
precautions to prevent a possible
lynching.
Hickman had persisted in trying To
pay attentions to the girl, and had
been repeatedly rebuffed. Mrs. Fox
became SO angered that she ordered
him to stay away from the house 1t
is claimed that he had made threats
against them.
Both bodies had been mutilated be-
fore the house was set on fire, leaN-
ing no doubt of Il murder having
been committed.
In addition to bullet holes in the
woman's head, she had bee. slashed
with a knife until the flesh was prac-
tically cut from her breast and back.
There were mere stab wounds
on other parts of her body, and her
skull had been crushed, apparently
by a hammer.
The girls skull had been crushed
and she was stabbed several times.
The mother and daughter came to
this part of the country and worked
hard to prove up on a homestead. The
mother frequently worked for other
settlers to obtain money for theil
support and both worked in the fields
lur;lg the summer.

FEAR BANKS,
LOSE $1,15o
AURORA COUNTY FAMILY LOSES
THAT MUCH BY FIRE AND by
THEFT.

%Stickney, s.. D.-Their lack OF
faith in banks has up to date cost
Mr.. and Mrs. A. Scott. residing on
an Aurora county farm. the sum OF
s1,15O in cash. They made a practice.
of keeping large sums OF money IN
the house instead of trusting it to a
bank. l3
OF t.le sum lost, $3.50 was stolen
from their home while the remaining
5000 was burned in Il fire that de-
stroyed their dwelling house some
months ago. The loss of the $3.50 has
lust been discovered. The discovery
OF The loss came about when they de-
cided to pay Il note which had just
become due. The money had been Sc
GREETED in an accordian box, which
served as "a crude safety deposit poX.
When they went TO the place Wher
the money had been hidden they
4 found il gone. t't
Then the members of the family
remembered that about a week ago
upon returning from a trip to "A fleldi
1 they found their house had been ran
sacked. All that could be missed al
the time was all the fresh bread anC
a quantity of butter, which had beer
in "A cupboard. They never thought
to inspect the hiding place OF thu
$3.50, as they believed the house hae
been entered during their absenct
by tramps, whose sole purpose was tt
secure something to eat.
The loss was reported to the auth
critics, but thus far not the sliehtes
trace of the thief or thieves can b.
found. There is a possibility that TIL
money was taken by someone living II
the neighborhood, who was familia
! with their practice OF using thei
home as a bank, and that the butte
and bread were taken to divert sus
> picion from the real reason why til
house was ~ransacied.

Aberdeen, S. D.-Factional diff

German-American Alliance OF Aber-

use upon the heels of the meeting
of the state alliance here in Septem-

dispute may extend TIC other alliances

say, the following resolution was a
dopted:
ION account of the unparliament-
airy and partisan action on the part
of the president of the state alliance
against several members of our or
ganization at the state convention
recently held in Aberdeen, the Ger
man-American alliance of Aberdeen
and Brown county feels the necessit!
of severing its connection with the

makes the Aberdeen and Brow

ganization, separate from the STATE
alliance, and was the outcome OF

was defeated on a ruling by Presi

Many Aberdeen German-American
contend that President DeMuth's rul

BIG COUNTIES ARE
SURE TO SELECT
PRIMARY TICKET
Party Strength Counts
in Proposal Com
mittees.
CANDIDATES FEAR
Some of Them Are Consider
ing Use Of Independent
Column for March.

Pierre, s. DIT is about five
months to the first test under the
Richards Primary act in this state. on
the vote basis and less than three
months to the time of the proposal
committee meetings, and that law
will get q lot of study in the time for
real action, especially in its features
in regard to proposed candidates. The
average candidate is in a quandry as
to just where he wants to plunge. The
majority proposal proposition on the
surface should be the best place to
secure, tven though this ticket Will
be on the right hand edge OF h
party ballot. But whether it will be
SO in fact as we'll as theory is what
is bothering those who are looking
for political favors. The independent
column at the left of the ballot, the
first one to catch the eye Of the voter
when he picks his ballot up, is being
seriously considered by many appli-
cants. The only trouble with this be-
ing that there will be no organized
campaign committee back of such a
column, each candidate being allow
ed to take care OF his own interests.
The majority proposal list between
these two may attract certain condi-
dates, but there does not appear to
be any great leaning in that direc-
ton, most OF those in the game d.
string to be on the majority list or
TO go it alone.
The opportunity to get on the mi
nority list, is case of failure on the
part of the majority to endorse an
applicant is practically cut off from
tho fact that the law requires both
committees to meet at the same time
and each act independently of the
other. This with the committees Of
all parties under the law being re
quired to meet on the same date ant
in the m room at the state cap
itol. will meal some lively work pc
litically along about that date.
The fact that the committeeman
of both the minority and majority re
presentations shall cast the strength
of the full party vote OF the count,
they represent is claimed to be tn
best opportunity to buildGa machine
as no county delegations need be con
suited as o collective body eacl
county being represented by one ma.
whose voting strength is gagged b

lutely who shall be the committe

may buck as they please, but withou
results; as the strength of party vot
controls, and not the number y

The theory of the act has as i
base government by majority, but
has failed to eliminate the 'huma

v UNION
OF CHURCHES

METHODIST CONFERENCE EN-
DORSE CONSOLIDATION IN
SMALL FIELDS.

Gettysburg, S. D.=The reciprocity
agreement entered into by the Meth
odist, Presbyterian and C~ongrega-
tional general officers, representing
their various denominations, and con-
firmed by the Presbyterian synod at
Groton and by the Methodist confer
ence at Redfield, has caused consid-
cradle favorable comment among the
various church members
The official statement Of the prin-
ciples adopted shows that these de-
nominations weer in favor OF all
church enterprises. Sunday schools
and other work of the church being
under UNCONVENTIONAL auspices. This
general statement also is entirely
out of sympathy with the organiza-
ton of amalgamated or independent
churches, and recommends that Sum
day schools should be under some de-,
n~ominational organization.
The following is the full text of
the statement issued by the commit
tee:
Il. We declare that in local COM
munitics where it is evidently not
feasible or best to maintain more
than one church organization, such
comfy of relations should be estab-
lished between the denominations
working in the same territory that
one or more denominations should
withdraw on a reciprocity exchange
basis. and permit the field to be
properly cared for under responsible
UNCONVENTIONAL auspices, thus keep
ing itself in neutrality-suspicious.
connection.
SO. Recognizing the proyidential
development of all the great denom-
national movements in u country,
and thoroughly believing that the
> work of the kingdom car be best pro-
: noted along those lines, we rye all
: Christian people in communities
where such UNCONVENTIONAL adjust
: ment have been made to cooperate
. with these worldwide movements by
%affiliating, so far as possible, with
the denomination giving r%esponsiD-
ility in that community.
80. We are entirely out. of SYM
pathy with the organization of ANAL.
gamated or independent churches,
: which are devoid of denominations,
auspices or control, and which have
no vital connection with the widel
movements of the church at large.
-. Without attempting to pron
q ounce ourselves N an unanimous wal
upon the value of the work bein}
done by the American Sunday schoo

deem it vital that every Sunda.
