FAMILY,

Ethan, S. DE. H. Bowers. who
disappeared from TIE Bloom home
under mysterious circumstances last
Monday night, was located at Utica,
S. d., on Thursday, July 80, and was
taken into custody by the officers
of Yankton county and his family
notified. His identity was establish
ed by papers found on his person. He
was brought home Saturday but his
mind is a blank and he does not re-
cognize the members of his own
family. When found he was wander
ing aimlessly along and did moi offer
any resistance when apprehended.
Mr.. Bowers has been a man of
more than ordinary mentality. He
followed the printers trade for
many years and in that avocation
toured the entire country. In his
youth he was an exceptionally speedy
compositor and worked in all the
large cities setting type against time
and holding up his end with the
speediest compositors. When hand
composition was displaced by ma
chinery he returned to his old home
and lived the simple life on the old
farm seven miles east of Ethan,
but always kept in touch with the
fraternity by corresponding for news
papers and writing special articles.
He displayed considerable ability
as a poet, and used his gift in a
satarical vein. Some years ago, the
lure of printers ink became too
strong, he sold put his agricultural
interests and bought the Armour
Chronicle-Tribune which he con-
Quoted very successfully, but poor
health compelled him to give up his
%favorite calling, and he sold his
newspaper. He has been engaged
as a rural mail carrier for the past
ten years, and has been an eXemplar
official. His present affliction is
a great shock to his wife and other
relatives.

Paving the alleys adjacent to both
sides of Main street was recon-

presented figures showing that the

II that the storm sewers would
cost about $25 for each lot.
To obHiate the construction of
storm sewers, the engineer declared
in favor of laying sanitary sewers in
the alleys, them putting in paving to

A special election will be held for
the purpose of allowing the people
OF Mitchell to pass upon the franchise

Mitchell's portion of the $4,000
railroad engineers and firemen who
had threatened a general strike on
the systems west of Chicago were
ready to step from their locomotives
on Friday. Fortunately, by the de-
cision of the railroad managers yes

tic move will not be necessary.

members of the Brotherhood of Rail.
road Engineers and of the Brother
hood of Locomotive yFiremen.
According to William Ford, fore
man of the Milwaukee 4troundhouse
traffic would have ceased altogether
had the strike been called Because
of the skill and experience necessary
to handle the locomotives 1T would
have been impossible to secure men
enough to man, them. 1t, was Mr..
Woods opinion that the government
would have found a way to continue
the operation of mail, as was the
case in 1894, when a general strike
prevailed.
Had the strike been called, the
engineers and firemen would have
had no alternative in the matter but
to step from their engines, so closely
are they identified with the two
brotherhoods.
Propaganda presenting the engine
mems side of the trouble was diStrib-
uted about the city a week ago.
The statement calls attention to
the inferior wages they are paid in
comparison to the pay received by the
eastern trainmen and argues their
side, both from humanitarian and
financial angle. The poirt Is made
that the engineers and iremen r
made to work unnatural hours with
u sufficient restriction on their
working periods.

HIS fight ON WHITE SLAVERY
IT, S. District Attorney Says He Proposes to Defend the Weak

After a bitter fight of several days
duration, reaching a climax late yes
terday afternoon when United States
nistrict-attorney Jeff McCarn, in his
address to the jury. outlined the fight
he proposes to make against white
slavers," the trial of the two men and
one woman accused of a violation of
the white slave act resulted in hung
jury. The jury was dismissed by
Judge Clemons and Immediately after
ward McCarn announced his intention
to renew the trial in another week or
two.
Nagged by the frequent Interrupt

rep 2sented the defense, McCarn
twice lost his temper in the course Of
his talk to the jury. At the second
interruption, when Andrade jumped
up declaring: That is not the evi

1t is not true!" the district attorney
whirled and exclaimed:

DECISION |.
TO HAVE SERIOUS
EFFECT IN HAWAII
'Domiciled Immigrants Are
Stopped by 0ffieia TEaa.
el Is Hazardous

A shock amounting almost to con.
sternation in the Oriental communi-
ties has followed the publication yes
terday of news that the supreme court
of the United States has held against
special immigration treatment for
"domiciled" aliens.
A well-known attorney and one who
has followed with particular interest
the legal points involved in the local
controversy over the admission of
these domiciled immigrants, or former
residents seeking to return, declared
this morning that the decision has
made foreign travel very hazardous
for Orientals.
Under this decision, an alien resid-
ing in Hawaii, with home, family and
large property interests here, might
go to Japan or China and become af-
flicted with a disease that would at
once bar him from returning here"
said this attorney. There is no Ques-
tiCn that this decision has raised some
very serious points.
If the supreme court holds that the
decision is conclusive and inclusive,
the pending cases, where Japanese are
trying to return to the territory but
were stopped and then took habeas
corpus proceedings, will all be lost"

MUNICIPAL
BUILDING
IS PLANNED
Committee from Supervisors
Will Confer with Governor Rel
atiye to Property for City
EMERGENCY HOSPITAL
ALSO Is PROPOSED
Territory To Be Asked to Do
nate Sites for Permanent City
and County Betterments

A special committee of supervisors
will be appointed to confer with Gov
ernor Pinkham within a short time to
ask that the territory turn over
TO the municipality two pieces Of cen
trally located property, one for city
and county building, the other for an
emergency hospital.
This is according To the statement
made by Supervisor Wolter, chairman
OF the committee on health or the
heard, today. He stated that he has
taken the matter of the hospital site
up with Governor Pinkham prelimina-
rlly already, and is convinced, from
the manner In which the chief execu-
tive received the proposition, that the
latter win do all In his power to
meet the request of the supervisors.
Lester Petrie, chairman of the roads
committee, has. put forward the mu.
nicipal hall proposition. It is planned
that the two propositions, that
for the hall and the emergency los
pitai be taken up with lhe gov
esnor at the same time, and IL is prob
allle II the latter agrees to turn over
property for the structures, money for
the erection OF both will be obtained
by the same bond issue.
Under an act OF the last legislature
the city and county Is given power
10 issue bonds for general improve
ments. So far no effort has been
made 70 raise money in this way SUI
pervisor Petrie Is strongly in favor OF
taking advantage Of the rights given
under the statute for the erection Of
a municipal home. He says that with
the high rents now paid for Offices by
the city and county ii would he cheap
or In the long run to own q building
for the transaction Of city and county,
business, a home that the community
can be proud Of. an official home that
represents the dignity OF the city.
Estimates have not been made yet
on the cost Of either such structure,
nor have desired specific locations
been decided on. But In both cases
sites centrally located are desired,
for the hospital one as near the po-
lice station as possible.
