B. J. MCDONALD
PASSES AWAY
Prominent Young Business Man
Dies After a Short
Illness.

On Sunday evening about six
o'clock, Mr.. Belvard Joseph Nc
Donald, aged 81 years, died at
his home in this city after brief
illness, death being due to an at
tack of septicemia. Mr.. McDon-
aid was, at the time of his death,
City Tax Collector and a memb-
er of the we'll known firm of Nc
Donald Bros, dealers in coal and
feed. He was brother of Mr..
James Mcdonald, who died few
weeks ago and a twin brother Of
Mr.. George Mcdonald, who is
critically i'll at a hospital in St.
Louis.
Mr.. Mcdonald was a most
excellent and worthy young man
of exemplary habits. He was a
splendid business man and was
rapidly rising to the front as one
of this city's foremost and most
successful men. A gentleman at
all times and in all places, quiet
and unassuming, he was admired
and respected by all. 1t seems
doubly sad that a young man
just in the spring time of exist
ence-just at time when all the
world seems brightest, should be
called to face his Maker. But He
who doeth all things well, know
eth best and to His will we all
must bow in humble submission,
SAYING not our will but Thine be
done. He was one that will be
sadly missed. Funeral services
were held at St. Patrick's Cath
Ole church Tuesday morning at
o:3o o'clock, with interment in
St. Thomas cemetery, Services
were conducted by Father F.. b.
Rohrer.
Besides his wife, who before
marriage was Miss Mary Maher,
and two children, he is survived
by four brothers, Messrs. Charles
c. and John, of this city and
George, of St. Louis, Mo-, and
Tom Mcdonald, of Cincinnati.
One sister, Miss Mary also sur
wives.
Sleep on beloved friend
Though short has been the
journey of your feet upon the
thorny pathway of life and the
places which knew thee once will
know thee no more. Still we have
thy cheering example of life
which was filled with deeds of
kindness and love. And now
after life's ftful fever is over let
us hope and believe he sleeps
we'll.

OF Man and Woman at Geddes Will
BE Arraigned Tomorrow.

Geddes. Nov. 30.-Deputy Attor-
ney General Harry @. Bryan has been
here the past few days, going over
the Roberts Brooks case. and it is
probable that the attorney generals
office will be represented in the trial
of this case.
Brooks. who is under arrest for
the murder of Blanche Signal and
w. H. Menzie. in a lumber office here
last April. will be arraigned before
Judge Trip at Wheeler next Tues
day, and be given an opportunity ia
plead, If he pleads not guilty. a date
will be set for trial.
Sentiment has changed wonderful
ly here since the arrest of Brooks
and many who were firm believers in
the suicide theory i'm the absence OF
any other tangible explanation of the
mystery, are now equally as strone
in the belief that Brooks is at least
one OF the murderers. This case
when brought to trial. will without
doubt be watched closer than an,
ever tried in the county before.

DON'T TRY TO SWIM
Is the Advice to British Sailors i'm
Time of Shipwreck.

London, Nov. 30.-"Don't take
your clothes off don't try to swim
don't let go of your hammock" This
is the advice TO British sailors, who
by reason of destruction of their ship
by submarines or otherwise are fore
ed to take to the water. 1t is con-
tanned in a current issue OF the Lon
don Lancet and is founded on the
measures found most helpful by the
Japanese during the war with Russia.
1t must be explained hat the ham
mock referred TO is bouyant and is
used on most British warships. The
warning not to attempt to swim is ut
tered to protect the man in the water
from exhaustion when, being sup
ported, there is no need of violent
notion; while the admonition to keep
the clothing on is based on the fact
that long experience has shown that
clothing, no matter how heavy, not
only keep the body warm for a time.
but contributes its share of bouyancy
until thoroughly soaked.
"A man in the water" says the
Lancet, should not try to swim ex-
cept for some definite purpose; but
should be content to float and be sat
isfied If he can Just keep his mouth
above water. In this he will be
greatly assisted by the air collars
provided by the admiralty. The best
lifebouy, short of a cork jacket, is a
dashed up hammock-it does not turn
over and there is always the flashing
to hang on to. A hammock has been
known to keep a man afoat for
tw%enty-four hours.
When a man has been rescued.

Washington, Nov. 3O.-The great

"a worldwide tendency exists to in

less the most extensive area in the
history of the world will be seeded

Employees of Panama Forbidden to
Visit Saloons.

Panama, Nov. 30.-With a view to
preventing accident. Gov. Goethals
has ordered that the Panama canal
shall be operated on a strictly sober
basis. His order. issued upon the
suggestion of Capt. Hugh Rodman,
superintendent OF the canal traffic,
affects all persons employed on the
canal who possess marine licenses
such as pilots, tug masters and mates
and those in charge of the dredges at
work in the canal-and the lock-op-
Grating forces. The order, among
other restrictive provisions, forbids
any canal pilot entering a saloon
while in uniform.
1t is believed that the order will
encourage confidence on the part Of
the ship wne using the canal. and,
possibly, have some influence toward
preventing increase of marine insur-
ance rates on vessels passing through
the canal.

Pierre Team Puts in Claim for the
Honor.

Sioux Falls, Nov. 30.-Sioux Falls
grasp for the state high school cham
pionship on a basis of comparative
scores has been intercepted by Pierre
in an attempt to make a touchdown
claim for the 1917 title, according to
the following correspondence receiv-
ed from there:
BY winning the game at Brookings
Thanksgiving day the Pierre high
school team claims the championship
of South Dakota, as they have won
every game played for the season.
Brookings and Pierre have defeated
practically all the high school teams
of the state of the larger towns, Civ
ing Pierre a good title. incidentally
B~rookings defeated Sioux Falls, Sioux
Falls held Sioux City TO a tie, Sioux
City defeated Omaha, champions of
Nebraska, which puts the Pierre team
we'll in the lead of northwestern
teams.
That the claim Will ever be def
nitely settled one way or another is
a matter of conjecture made doubtful
by the fact that Pierre would prob
ably not wish to take the chance of
losing even their present glimpse of
the mirage by undertaking a post
season contest with the orange and
black local squad. That such a game
would clear the title reasonably well
could not but be admitted by other
teams of the state which are almost
ready TO admit sub rosa that Sioux
Falls already has the strongest ma
chine. Both the Pierre and Sioux
Falls team are still fit and a post
season game on neutral ground
would attract hundreds of people in
whatever city it was held.
