BOOK BY
O. w. COURSEY
"WOMAN OF THE STONY HEART,
PRESENTS SOME VIVID PIC
TURES OF THE WAR IN
THE PHILIPPINES

The Woman with a Stony Heart, a
romance of the Philippine War, by
O. w. Coursey, of Mitchell, has re-
Gently been published by the Educat-
or School Supply company. Readers
of Who's Who. in South Dakota, or
of Mr.. C~oursey's educational writings
will be pleased to meet the versatile
writer in a new field of literature.
h book which is dedicated to
Mrs. Coursey, is based upon data col
lected by Nh. Coursey during his stay
in the Philippines. Many incidents of
the Spanish-American War in the
Philippines are graphically told, as
the story unfolds the career of Marie
Sampolit, the daredevil of the Phil
ippines.
AS a young girl, Marie sees her
lover cruelty killed by Spainards, and
the thought of vengeance nourished
within her heart gradually trans
forms the supplemented Tagolo mai
den into a veritable monster of cum
ming and cruelty. Both S%paniards and
Americans the objects of her
hatred, and almost unbelievable was
the amount of deadly mischief and
disaster wrought by this one small
woman. She served at various times
on the staff of Aguinaldo and was an
invaluable spy in his service. Dur
ing the latter part of her tragic ca
reer she dressed in male garb, and it
was thus that she was captured by
American soldiers and sentenced to
death. This sentence was duly carried
out and it was only after the stormy
soul had taken flight, that the SOL
'diers discovered that the death pen
atty had been paid by a woman.

FISH REMOVED
1000 CARS ALONE TAKEN OUT
OF JIM RIVER.-NEARLY
$1,000 is REALIZED.

Pierre, S. D.-The state game de-
partment has received practically
fifteen hundred dollars for non-game
fish which have been taken from
waters of the state the past year,
most of this being for fish taken out
of the Jim river and Lake Kampes-
ka. Beside the taking out of these
coarse fish, over two thousand CARS
were taken out of the Jim river,
clearing out many of these nuis-
ances. The total number of fish
taken out equals nearly two hum
dred and forty tons, or a good sized
train load, most of them being buff
falo, or which there were 423,1OO
pounds. OF carp there was 32,O75
pounds; of pickerel, 1900; of suck
ers, S,540, and of red horse, 6,21O,
besides a few other non-game fish
not on the classified list.

DR.. HEYLER BUYS
CHAMPENY o
NOW OWNER OF ONE OF CITY'S
LARGEST BUILDINGs.-CLARK %
fa5lf STORE TO ENTER. ~ ge

DR.. e. w. Heyler today announced
the purchase of the Champeny block,
located in the heart of the business
section of Mitchell, from the Mitchell
Trust company. The deal had been
consumated for some time.
The Champeny block for the past
twenty years has been one of, the
leading business properties of the
city and it's location at Third and
Main has been in the center of the
commercial district. DR.. Heyler did
not ANNOUNCE the purchase price.
One Of the chief reasons for the
purchase was that it might be used
on the first floor for the F. Clay
Clark store with the expiration of
the lease of the present tenants.
DR.. Heyler is interested in the Clark
company.
The third floor of the block is
used by the Masonic lodge and its
coordinate bodies, the second floor
is used for offices and apartments
and the first floor by the Mitchell
Candy Kitchen and the Maynard
theater. The structure runs to the
alley and in the two-story annex on
Third avenue are located the Wcs-
tern Union and the Mitchell Power
company offices. The building is
l42 by SO feet on the ground and is
built of brick.
The last acquisition of DR.. Heyler
marks him as one of the heaviest
property holders in the city of Nit
chell. He is the wner of the quarter
block north of the Methodist church
and owns 16O acres of land south
east of the city, although within
the corporate limits,
DIR. Heyler declared that he had
no intention of retiring from the
active practice of his profession for
several years. although eventually
he would probably give his entire
time to his business affairs.
When the present leases on quar-
tiers in the Champeny block expire,
it is planned to make extensive al
terations IN the structure.

O'Flaherty sat ALI masses last sSqnr
day to the prepQnderence OF Catholic
Youths among the MISUNDERSTANDING
who died for their country at Vera
Cruz. 4=p all IT, -lIsa,,
The father thrilled the, congrega-
ton by stating that five of the nine
teen dead heroes recently brought
home on the Battleship n Montana
were members of the Catholic
church. Two of these, Corporal Dan
lei Haggerty, one of the first to fall
in the streets of Vera Cruz, was a
graduate of the Sacred Heart paro-
chial school of North Brookfield,
Mass, and Seaman Dennie Joseph
Lane, OF the U. S. S. New Hamp-
shire kas a former pupil OF the st.
Agnes %parochia school, New York
City.
Other Catholic boys who shed their
blood for the flag were Edward Gis-
hurne of st. Theresa's church, West
Roxbury, Mass, who was shot on
the roof of the Terminal hotel while
on duty signalling to the warshiys
out in the bay, Francis P. Delowry, of
Pittsburgh, and Gabriel De Tabbio,
of st. Joseph's church Batavia, N. Y.
1t was Ensign Edward Patrick Nc
Donnell, the young brother of a Ca
tholic priest of Baltimore, who pulled
the cord that first hoisted the STARS
and Strapes" to the Mexican breezes
at Vera Cruz.
Father O'Flaherty concluded by
saying:
THE victims of religious mania
may continue their efforts to be-
smlroh Catholicism, but Catholics
VIII be found as ready in the future
as in the past to give up their lives
for their country"

WITH FANCY
FABRICS.

10th the velvets and the satins Of
n the season are wonderfully beau
tiful. soft and lustrous, taking
exquisite folds and presenting an effect
Of light and shadow that in itself is
fascinating. They will be much worn
in combination with plain and fancy
materials, and fancy materials are Of
silk, silk with wool, and silk with
cotton. for today cotton makes an
important material at all seasons Of
the year and can be dyed to as beauti-
full colors, made into. as beautiful
cloths as silk and wool.
At the left of the picture. there Is
shown a gown Of silk and wool crepe
with charmeuse satin and with collar
and cuffs Of white popIin- The plated
tunic and the long plain basque and the
combination of materials all mark
essential features but there is not a
costume shown this season that could
not be varied almost indefinitely by
change Of color or change Of fabric
In the second costume is shown a
plated tunic Of plain crepe with a
basque and under skirt of one Of the
new satins that is slightly more lus-
trous than charmeuse and the color
matches the skirt. 1t is charmingiy
graceful and attractive and besides
showing one of the best and latest
modes it makes a practical suggestion
for women who are seeking to remodel
last seasons gowns. Any two mate
rials that are harmonious can be used
in just this way and the contrasts are
found in different fabrics of the same
color and in plain and fancy fabrics.

and plaids without number.
The cape blouse makes the feature Of
the third costume and the cape blouse
Is one Of the important novelties of the
autumn. This one is quite simple for
the cape which falls straight at the
back and terminates in little points
under the collar at the front. The
tunic is a Aaring. circular one and it and
the skirt beneath are both finished with
overlapped edges at the front. The
wide sash is simple and straight,
swathed around the figure and finished
with a bow at the back. In the pic
ture. fancy silk is combined with the
new light weight velvet and with a caps
Of lace.
Stripes always can be made to trim
themselves If effectively used and the
basque costume shown at the right
illustrates that point most successfully.
