Mr.. Gilman was good man, quiet
in his disposition, genial and courteous

Homer 10, Robert I, Catherine 5; be-
sides his mother Mrs. Charles Gilman,

Hill of Mobridge, s. Oak, and Mrs.
&. j. Fawkes of this city, who with his
bereaved wife and children have the
heartfelt sympathy of many.
The funeral look place Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock from his home to
St. Mary's church, where requiem high
mass was celebrated by Rev. l.. P.
OReilly, pastor of st. Paul's church.
After the solemn services the body was
taken to its last resting place at st.
Mary's cemetery.

Daniel thinner of Cobb, two brothers

A WORD ABOUT ADVERTISING

TT is the purpose OF the publishers of The
Democrat to give the best news and adver-
tsing service possible During the last
few years better methods Of Advertising have been
adopted The idea of putfs no longer prevails.
The later and better idea is for the advertiser to
tell his story, i'll good straightforward words;
and a law enacted some time ago contemplates that
the advertiser shall SO speak for himself Straight
reading matter intended as an advertisement for
this or that thing --and which does not show its
face that il is advertising, ,-n,ust be published
without being plainly marked Advertisements \
newspaper goes through the mails at what is
known as the pound rate, and Ill consequence of
this privilege, the post office department requires,
i'll addition to other things, that no advantage be
given to advertiser another 1t is the
purpose and policy of The Democrat to treat all
advertisers alike and to give them attractive and
pleasing displays. That efforts i'll these direc-
tons are appreciated is shown by our well-hlled
columns of local and general advertising and par
ticularly by the gradual increase i'll the volume of
foreign advertising. Two letters recently
received make feel good. They refer to the
full-page advertisements i'll the March 18th and
10th issues of The Democrat These advertise

Spopee was charged with the muir

Moreover it is now believed that
Spopee committed the murder in self
defense. While awaiting execution
the Indian maintained absolute
silence. His conduct was so unusual
that he was believed to be insane and
after two years was removed to the
Federal Hospital here where he has
been held a prisoner for 80 years.
Spopee is regarded as an intelligent

DETECTIVES CONTINUE
THEIR INVESTIGATION
Of STRANGE MURDER
DR.. Carman Says He Welcomes Ar
rival of Agency Head and
Corps

Freeport, N. Y, July ii Private
and county detectives continued to-day
their investigation of the murder of
Mrs. Louise Bailey. who was so mys-
teriously shot while in h office of
DR.. Edwin Carman. The inquest into
the murder, adjourned yesterday, it to
be esumed tomorrow provided the
matter is not k out of the coro-
ner's hands by the grand jury.
DR.. Carman said to-day hat he well
coined the arrival last night of the
head of a national detective agency
and his men.
IF the county had not hired this
man., 1 would have done so when the
inquest was concluded" he said. Dur
ing the interviews this man and his
su~bordinates have had with my wife
they did their best. just as the county
authorities did. to make her change
her story. L believe she has told the
whole truth. The detective chief is
welcome at our house any time. I
hope he can find the person who MUIR
dered Mrs. Bailey and l will give him
all the help L possibly an"
District Attorney Smith made no
effort to-day to conceal his theory Of
the ase He insisted that the murder
was accomplished by a woman but so
far has kept the object of his suspicion
a secret. The district attorneys action
in retaining a detective agenc to in
vestigate the murder served to prove
in the minds of many who have
watched the progress of the case that
the county officials were not satisfied
with the results already obtained and
now proposed to draw their clues to a
head for presentation to the grand
jury.
Aside from developing a case based
on his own theories the, head of the
detective agency, it was intimated, was
prepared to investigate the stories told
by DR.. Carman and w. P. w. Half,
attorney, who were shot at by an UNI
known man. Half. who resembles DIR.
Carman, told the police that he be-
lleved the shots fired at him were in
tended for the doctor. DR.. Carman
yesterday insisted that the mar who
fired at him was riding a bicycle, which
he guided with his right hand, usins
his left to fire the revolver. This fol-
lows his theory that a ~left-handed
man fired the shot that killed Mrs.
Bailey.
Another clue being followed to-day
has to do with a threat alleged to have
been made by a woman that I'll MUIR
der that man if it takes all my life"
The woman, according to the inform
ant, pointed to DIR. Carman as the OBJ
Ject of her anger.

lice more accurately than anyone else
what led up to the explosion continued
to-day.
Whether the plan of Alexander
Berkman to hold an outdoor funeral
service on Saturday afternoon in
Union Square for Arthur Caron, Chas.
Hansen and Charles Berg, the three
men killed in the explosion, would
be carried out remained to be decided
to-day. 1t vas said that city officials
would seek to prevent a demonstration
such as a parade which they believe
Berkman's public funeral service
would lead to.
DIR. S. S. Coldwater, commissioner
of health, is in a position to stop
the demonstration. According to the
law, the bodies must be buried within
ninety-siX hours after death, unless
an extension of time is granted. The
time limit expires tomorrow morning
and DR.. Coldwater said hat no appli-
cation for an extension of time had
beer asked for. Until it was made, he
said, he would not state what action
he would take.
