Hits Them Hard. Illegal Sale I
Liquor Not to be Tolerated

Last weeks Webster World
has the following in regard to a
couple o + blind pig cases
brought before Judge Bouck in
circuit court for Day county:
Violators Of the liquor law are run
ming against mighty hard PROPOSE
tlon in Judge Bouck's court.
1t has been almost custom in this
county to fine a blindpgger $50 and
costs. The fine doesn't appear To
have the desired effect and the court
has concluded to wipe out that sort
Of business by drastic measures.
John Miotke, being brought before
court, testified that he wasn't act
ually engaged in the business of SELL
ing liquor. He had liquor in the
house and his friends came to call on
him and helped themselves and they
had the habit OF leaving little
money on the tab BILE or threw it on the
bed or chair.
Being asked by the court why he
took out government license if he
had no intention to engage in liquor
business. John was up a stump. The
Judge remarked, that kind of busi-
ness must De stopped and as example
and warning he would fine John
Miotke $3.50 and 80 days in Jail.
August Gruba having two similar
charges against him and having in
dulged in the same business before
was fined 800 and given 80 days in
Jail.
1t might just as we'll be understood
now as some other time that blindpig-
glng in Day county is worn out
game.

SUICIDE
Insane Man shoots Himself Mt Big
Stone City

A stranger came to Big Stone
City a couple Of weeks ago and
engaged a room at the New Big
Stone hotel last Saturday.
But a few minutes after he had
secured the room the report of a
gun was heard and the proprie-
tor Of the hotel hurrying to the
room, the man was found with a
bullet wound in his left breast
above the heart and a 32 reyol-
yer by his side. The bullet was
later located in his back, having
passed through into the tleshy
part of the back. The man had
registered on the hotel register
as Carl Binder, of Aberdeen,
but this is believed to be an as
sumed name. He had been
around the town for a number
Of days and had been acting
queerly, and had stated that he
did not wish anything to eat say
ing that he had no money. He
had a pony with him, and a blan-
ket and had been sleeping out of
doors, but before shooting him.
self he had delivered the pony to
parties in town, saying that it
was good pony, but he would
not need it any more. On ex-
animation of the mans 5 clothing
several packages wrapped up in
paper were found upon him, and
in each of these We're found $50
in currency totaling about 1887
all together. A registered let
ter addressed to John Gurber,
Inland, S. D., and sent by ].
Pitcher from Tyndal, was found
upon him, which indicated that
he had given an assumed name
at the hotel, and that the name
on the registered letter was pro.
baby his true name. He had al
so number of advertisements
and papers telling of cheap lands
for sale These facts were
brought out from an examina.
ton of the case by States Attor-
ney Rix, and from the actions of
the man it is believed that he
was insane.
The bullet seemed to have pas
sed through him without strik-
ing any vital part, and after the
wound had been dressed and
the bullet extracted he was sup
posed to be recovering, but later
he commenced to fail, and died
about II a. m. Monday. and the
remains were inferred at Big
Stone.

A Long Hike

Three small boys, Leonard
Hamling, Bernard Forsburg and
Claire Schuneman all between
8 and 10 years of age took hike
Sunday afternoon and walked to
Big Stone. They got down in
time to eat supper at George
Moore's place, and they phon-
ed to their homes in Milbank, as
they comm enced to think that
their parents might be alarmed
about them. Mrs. George Fors-
burg, Mrs. Matt Hamling and
Mrs Margret Schuneman went
on the midnight train and
brought the boys home. The
day was hot, and it was feared
that the twelve mile walk might
have injured the boys, but they
came out of their experience
without any harm, but say they
do not wish to try it again.

Pit SilOs Are u Success

Prof. G.. Larson, head of the
dairy department of the State
College, has recently been in
specting pit silos in representive
parts of the state around Newell,
Rapid City, and Rec Heights.
He reports that the silage was
well kept and in first class con-
dition for feeding purposes. A
large number of farmers in the
western part of the state are
building pit silos for the com
ming season. The State Expert
ments Station does not yet reco-
mend pit silos for the eastern
part of South Dakota, but they
undoubtedly will be placed
where they will be successful.

Annual Trip
Minneapolis Banker Makes Visit
Through Farming Country

Mr.. w. H. Lee. Of Minneapolis
accompanied Mr.. G.. L. Wood on
tour of inspection by automo-
bile this week over about on e
thousand miles of South Dakota
territory, in localities where
farm loans have been placed by
the Wood Mortgage Company.
Both gentlemen are highly
pleased over the greatly increas-
ed acreage of corn and it's splen-
did condition at this time, and
at the increased showing of
cattle and hogs all through the
district over which they travelled
They found the rust condition
only in spots, and through the
hills districts there is little evi-
dence of any. The harvesting
OF the small grain is well along,
and the general conditions are
so favorable that they looked for
a prosperous year over the
territory where they are doing
business. Mr.. Lee is president
of the Hennepin County Savings
bank, OF Minneapolis, one OF the
big financial institutions of the
northwest, and is close observer
of financial conditions and pros
poets. For nearly a quarter Of
a century he and his bank have
been patrons of the G. l. Wood
Farm Mortgage Company, each
year making larger investments
in the high.class sucurities
turned out by the Mortgage
Company. He has thus become
through these business relations
a well-informed and close obser
yer of financial conditions of
this section of the country.

To Steam Thrashers

States attorney Rix has re.
ceived notice from the commits
sioner of Insurance stating that
the departm ent will prosecute
all complaints against threshing
machine owners who fail to
comply with the law. The letter
says:
To the States Attorney and
Police officers:
Complaint is made to this De-
partment that amended Chapter
237, Session laws of 1911, during
the season Of 1913 was ignored
generally throughout the state
by operators of steam threshing
machines. | want to call your
attention to the penalty for viol-
alton of this law, and ask that
you cooperate with the Depart.
ment of Insurance to the end
that during the threshing season
of 1914 the law be observed.
1t might be well to have it un-
derstOod that the law will be en-
forced, that any person against
whom specific complaint is made
to the Department of Insurance,
will be prosecuted.
Attention should be called to
the fact that threshers opera
ting without a fire insurance pol
icy or bond as provided for this in
law, attempting to recover by
suit on threshing bill would
have no legal standing in court.
Publication in your legal news
papers setting out the penalty
for violation of this law should
be effective warning to those in
terested.
The penalty is 10000 and up
wards and all costs.
Again asking your support in
the enforcement of this law,
which on account of continuous
and fragrant violation has been
the cause of considerable CON-
plant to this Department, l am
Yours truly

Apple Tree Blight

The following in regard to
the apple tree blight mentioned
last week will be Of interest to
parties who have trees affected
it is the advice of q Minnesota
horticulturist that no time
should be lost in treating the
diseased trees:
Now is the time for amateur gar
deners and fruit growers to get busy
with their saws and pruning knives,
for blight is prevalent on the apple
trees, according to warning issued
by Prof. Earl Finney, director of
school gardeners, last night.
The blight is extensive through the
country, and st. Paul has not escap-
ed, the expert said. It is dangerous
to wait, for the bacterial growth
spreads rapidly, and if neglected will
kill the trees. Examine the leaves
carefully, for if they are attacked by
blight they will turn brown Prof
Finney said. The stem will be killed
and eventually the tree, spelling the
fruit. The only sure remedy is to cut
OF all the part affected. This
should be done at least six inches
beyond the last tt ace of brown.
"1he blight spreads rapidly, even
when the branches are detached, and
these should be burned Immediately.
The saws and knives should be made
antisceptic also, to prevent the blight
spreading.
Corrosive sublimate or carbOlic
acid may be used for this. The for
mer is better and the less expensive,
therefore being preferable II much
cutting is to be DONE"

The Rev. Frank L. Goodfellow,
pastor of Oak-First Pres byterian
church Of Oakland. recently distri-
buted the following new command
ments among the women members of
his congregation:
"ThOu shalt not marry for revenu e
only, nor for fear of being an old maid
for it it is better for thee to remain
single all thy days than to make mat
rimony q matter of money or to be
mere plaything.
'.After marriage thou shalt not so far
forget thy personal appearance as to
greet thy husband clad in old wrapper
or with h,ir askew, or with slippers
run down at the heels, for not so was
thy appearance when thy husband
chose thee for life.
sThou shalt not become a fashion
! plate, nor make thyself spectacle to
the gaping crowd, nor dress so as to
furnish jokes for the comic papers,
for it is better for thee to be out OF
vogue than vulgar.
"Thou shalt not leave thy children
to the tender mercies of thy neighbors
or to run wild on the streets, even to
attend the missionary meeting, or to
make California dry.
.'Thou shalt not be Jealous of thy
neighbor if she rides in limousine,
while thou art compelled to use the
trolly car, for it is better to ride on a
trolly car then in an automobile with
q mortatage on thy home, and many
women who ride on the trolly car are
happy, wise and respectable.
''Thou shalt not make thy home .
place of complaining and faultfinding
lest thy husband acquire the habit oi
thinking every night was lodge night,
and thy sons and daughters linger q
long way from home, and thy friends
fail to return thy social calls, and thy
advertisements for help appear in the
papers continually.
Thou shalt not forget thy Bible
and thy God. and thy attendance at
worship shall not be matter OF ther-
mometer or barometer, for such Chris
tians are poor mothers, while they
who serve the Lord are blessed even
to the thousandth generations.
"Thou shalt not aspire to be q man
or other than q noble woman, for
male and female He created them,
and when he made the ideal woman
He stopped because He reached the
summit OF creation for the reason that
even OmnlpOtence could do no better -
