HOUSE
Mitchell Man Completes a Residence
After the Edison Plan.

Mitchell, July 1S.-Thomas Ed
sons theory about a cheap way to
construct a concrete house has been
outdone by a Mitchell man, H. t.
Frost. This city claims the distinc-
ton Of possessing the only house in
the United States constructed by
means of a set of concrete forms.
Mr.. Frost has invented a system of
frames that can be handled easily
and at the same time have the advan-
tage of leaving a continuous dead air
space in the middle of the wall. This
advantage in itself is a great feature
in that it eliminates the nuisance
and danger of moisture, sweat and
frost getting into the walls of the
house, which caused the failure of
the Edison invention.
The Mitchell inventor has obtain
ed a patent upon a set of forms
which BUILDS a hollow wall, reinforc-
ed horizontally, perpendicularly and
also ties the walls together. At the
same time the forms can be adjusted
to build any size house, make any
thickness of wall and also leave the
door and window openings any size

Frost's residence in Mitchell has beer

EXPRESS RATES
SIOUN CITY WHOLESALERS
WOULD INCREASE EMPRESS
RATES IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

Pierre, July 1S.-The state rail
way commission is waiting develop
ments on the proposition on the part
of Sioux City, to request an increase
i'm express rates in this state on the
plea that they interfere with inter
state rates. The position of the state
commission is under practically two
different heads-one that the inter
ference is merely that Sioux City
jobbing houses want the whole of
the state of South Dakota to pay
higher express rates, so that they
can get a personal benefit, the South
Dakota jobbing houses having a bet
ter chance under present rates than
do the Sioux City houses which must
ship across a state line, and do not
get the same rates as do the South
Dakota houses. The other feature is
that at the present time the express
rate cases for this state are in United
States court waiting for a showing on
the part of the companies that on
their business the rate is too low.
On their original showing before
Judge Willard it was held that the
rates were reasonable and the in
junction they asked for was denied,
but they were allowed to make a fur
ther showing, which they have never
done, claiming that they required
more time. This feature in the view
OF the commission brings up the right
of the interstate commerce commits.
sion TO take jurisdiction out OF the
hands of the United States court be
fore a settlement.
While not in any way connected
| with this case reports filed with the
state tax commission make a peculiar
showing. The Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul Railway company in its
sworn report shows that the Wells
Fargo Express company, for the past
year paid them ~$276,02S for carry
ing express matter for that company
The Wells Fargo Express company in
its sworn report to the same com
mission places its total receipts for
the state for the same period a
S155,771, which figures do not maxi
a very straight track in the estima
ton of the tax commission. In tn.
case of the Chicago and Northwest
ern and the American Express com
pany, the railway company swears I
receipts of $105,1 from the expires
company, and the express compan.
swears to total receipts of $117,724

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness lis caused by an inf1amed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eu-
Stachian Tube. When this tube is i'm
famed you have a rumbling u or
imperfect hearing, and when ii is en-
tirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless tn Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

The Women Army Followers.

A Mexican army entraining is pic
turesque in much the same way that
a gypsy camp is. 1t includes SOL
diers, women, children, pots and pans
of primitive domesticity, pet dogs,
cats, lambs, goats and even parrots.
The regulations allow the soldiers to
take their families to war. Officers
told me that the rule was one woman
to every eight men, but if such regu-
lation exists it is for publication on
ly. AS many women go as want to
and when an army moves out from
large city the number Of soldaderas
is pretty likely to be more than one
third that of the soldados. And
many of them have one or several
children.
From the days of the Montezu-
mas, Mexican women have borne
their part in war, and Mexico can
not imagine an effective army with
out it's array Of women camp follow
ers. They forage for the army's
food and cook it. They carry water
to their men on the battlefield; they
are the only nurses that the wounded
have; frequently they march beside
the weary soldiers, carrying, not on
ly the camp equipment, but their
guns as we'll. They are brave, pa
tient, hard working and faithful
Sometimes they are the legal wives
of the men they accompany; more
often their relations are for the cam
paign only. These soldaderas range
from u or Is years to 60 or more
the older women being, usually, the
mothers of conscripts, who elect to
follow their sons to the front.
1t may seem strange that women
in such numbers undertake the dan
gers and hardships of a campaign.
But life is cheaply held among the
lower classes in Mexico, and hard
ships and fatigue are the common lot
in peace or war. Besides these wom-
en- plunder the dead on the battle
field, and pick up what they can on
the march. A woman cooks for her
own man as a matter of course. If
she cooks for any others they pay her
any pay we'll. A successful campaign
will frequently furnish capital with
which to start a little shop or to at
tract a desirable permanent husband
in civil life.-Leslie's Weekly.

DOCTOR KIDNAPS GIRL OF Is.
Then Shoots Constable Who Arrested
Him.

Honaker, Va, July 10-Word
came here today of man hunt that
has been on for three days in the
wilds of Russell county. Throngs OF
men are searching for DR.. ]. w.
Worth, a physician, who shot and
killed William Bail, a constable, who
had arrested him, on charge of kid
mapping Louise Harris, the fifteen
year-old daughter of Warren Harris,
a stock raiser of the Blue Grass Sec
ton. No trace of the physician has
been found, other than a camping
place he had occupied in a lonely
spot in the hills about five miles from
the scene Of the crime.
The tragedy has stirred the noun
tainside, and it is feared the physi-
clan will be summarily dealt with If
he is captured.
It is a tale Of mountain jealousy
and love for a child that led to the
killing. For some time, it is said,
DR.. Worth had been attentive to
pretty Louise Harris. Because Of
her age and the fact that the par
ents had favored a young farmer as
the suitor for their daughter, DR..
Worth was forbidden in the Harris
home. Then, it is asserted, he con-
ceived the plan of kidnapping the
girl, and about a week ago he is said
to have lured her away from home.
A warrant was procured for his
arrest, and the father offered re-
ward for the return of the girl. Con-
stable John Honaker arrested the
doctor, but the physician was too
quick for him, and when he got the
drop on him with his revolver, he
forced Honaker to turn his back
while he escaped. Then Constable
Ball entered into the game of love,
lure and jealousy. He found the
doctor at his home, and started with
him to Honaker for a preliminary
hearing. The girl was sent back to
her parents.
While on the way to Honaker.
Ball decided to have some amuse-
ment at the expense of his prisoner,
and this, cost him his life. He fore
ed DR.. Worth to do the tango, the
Highland fling and few other dane
es, while he held him covered with
his revolver. This was fun for the
onlookers. Not so with the doctor,
and he vowed vengeance. When the
constable and prisoner arrived at the
home of Henry Atkinson, in the vii
lage of Finney, they stopped for a
meal. DR.. Worth saw shotgun
standing in the corner of the dining
room. He grabbed it, and without a
word of warning, fred at Ball. The
load almost decapitated the consta-
BILE. DR.. Worth then fed to the hills.

Grady county farmer, who was found

She declared that her father had
repeatedly attacked her and had come
to her room after midnight. She fol-
lowed him to his room, she said, and
when he slept, fired into the back of
his skull with a shotgun, killing him
instantly.
She was freed on a verdict Of JUS
tifiable homicide. Her brother, How
