BATTLE EXHAUSTION
REMARKABLE CASES OF PHYSI

DIERS TOLD TO AIM LOW.

London, Aug. 21.-A medical cor
respondent of the London Times in
Brussels sends this dispatch:
Il have had IN opportunity during
the last few days of visiting several
of the great Brussels hospitals and
ambulances and of seeing some oil
down from the front.
Two facts have struck me very
forcibly. First, a very large number
of the Belgian soldiers are wounded
only in the legs, and secondly. many
soldiers seem to have collapsed
through sheer exhaustion.
I'm peace time one sees and hears
little or nothing of this extreme ex
haustion because, of course, In peace
time the almost superphysical is no
demanded, but war brings new con
ditions.
Some of these Belgian soldiers
were at work and on the march dur
ing the stupendous days of Wednes
day and Thursday of last week, prac

Cattle PoisOner Settles for Damage
to Neighbours Herd.

Chamberlain. Aug. 21.-Express-
ing a desire to plead guilty to the
charge of having poisoned a number
of cattle belonging to Freeland Har-
der, neighboring homesteader, Tony
Miller, residing on a Trip county
homestead, appeared before Judge
Williamson of the state circuit court,
for sentence. Judge Williamson inn
posed a fine of $500 and sentenced
Miller to a term of six months in
jail. AS Miller has made a settle
ment with Harder for the animals
which died, and because of his pre-
vious good reputation, Judge Will
hanson suspended the Jail portion of
the sentence pending good behavior
on the part of the defendant. 1t is
said the trouble between the two
homesteaders was the outgrowth of a
love affair, they being rivals for the
affections of a young pima residing
in the neighborhood of their farms.

MAIL PILFERER
WN. III. TYLER. POSTOFFICE
CLERK, ARRESTED IN
SIOUX FALLS.

Sioux Falls, Aug. 21,-Thinking
himself alone in the mailing room of
the Sioux Falls postoffce early yes
terday morning, William H.. Tyler,
a local mail clerk. opened and ex-
tracted money from one letter and
began the opening of another when
interrupted, according to the testi-
mony of V. C. Bate, postal inspector
for this district, at Tyler's hearing
Yesterday afternoon before United
States Commissioner ID. j. Conway
on a charge of pilfering the United
States mails. Tyler was arrested yes
terday morning by a deputy United
States marshal following the COM
paint made against him by officials
of the postofice department.
Both of the letters which it is
claimed Tyler opened and one of
which he is said to have robbed OF a
portion of its contents, were decoys
which had been mailed at Ago
O'Clock yesterday morning by Postal
inspector Bate just previous to the
time the clerk came on duty. Pre-
yious small losses in the mails had
led the officials TO believe hat some
one either in the local office or this
district had been tampering with let
tiers. Inspector Bate began a sys-
TEN of watching hat finally led to
the arrest of Tyler. Inspector Bate,
with a deputy marshal and another
official of the postoffice, after the
mailing of the decoy letters early in
the morning, watched developments
from secret rooms hat give an out
look onto the mailing floor of the
postoffice. Tyler was seen to pick
out the two decoy letters, both of
which were addressed to parties In
iowa, lay them aside while he sorted
other mail, and then, with a pencil,
open the flap of the envelope, taking
out the n according to the tes-
timony introduced by witnesses for
the government at the hearing. One
of the letters contained N 81 bill,
two 81 bills and a 50-cent piece.
The other held two 81 bills and a
5O-cent piece. After taking the mon
ey from the first envelope, Tyler, II
is alleged, replaced all but the SO
cents. All the bills and coins were
marked by the inspector, previous to
mailing, for future Identification.
The letters, the first of which had
been addressed to Miss HALEY Davis
sheldon, Ia" and the second to
Mrs. Lucy Tyndall, Cedar Rapids
Ia" had been prepared for the pur-
pose Of decoys.
Following the preliminary hearing
Commissioner Conway bound Tyler
over to the action of the grand jury
at the next term of the federal court
here. Tyler's bond was fixed al
$1,000.

WHY TIE LOYAL ORDER OF MOOSE APPEALS TO TIE
 WORKERS

There have been many fraternaI or ganizations III Alaska for years but none of them have appealed to the workers like the Loyal Order of Moose. No ob- selete or ancient tomfoo1ery has any place in the business of the Moose. This order is progressive one and aims to keep up with the times. The working man will find in the Moose Lodge an orr ganization that fills long felt want. The Loyal Order of Moose not only pro vides benefits for him and his family ill times of sickness dut is also club room to spend his leisure hours. See Howard Barnes at Mendhanl's, or any moose.

All good speakers before going on the platform generally clear their throats with a little stinlu1ant to prevent any stuttering or stanmering or coughing which would interfere or annoy them during the progress of their speech.
 The best sti1nu1ant to be obtained i'll Fairbanks is the famous, fine, old Cab inet whiskey. This famous brand of l1q- uor costs more than any other brand in Fairbanks, this probably being the req son that few houses i'll Fairbanks retail it. It is said that Cabinet Whishey is a favorite with Senator Ga1linger of New Hampshire, and that he used a thimb1e- full of this famous brand every morning to give him inspiration before commenc- ing his speech in the U. s. Senate on the Bill fer the Repeal of the Canal Tolls.
