The City Council has decided not to
purchase the ornamental light poles
for Main street for the present at
least, because of the more urgent
need to use the city funds for other
purposes. The Mayor has therefore
instructed City Electrician Smith to
close the openings next to the curb
that were left for the poles when the
street. was paved. These openings are
being cloed with round concrete COW
erings which are not unsightly and
which may be easily removed when
the city is ready to install the lights.

Searching for Husband.

Midland.-Mrs. E. J. McRae, a form
er resident of South Dakota, has re-
turned to the state from her new
home in Minnesota for the purpose of
searching for her husband who mys-
t%eriously disappeared. Herself and
husband acquired title to a home
stead in western Stanley county and
after making final proof moved to
Minnesota. After establishing his
family in their new home, McRae re-
turned to Stanley county and leased
the homestead to a neighbor, after
which he departed ostensibly for his
new home in Minnesota. Enroute
there he disappeared and thus far not
the slightest trace Of him has been
found. In some quarters 1t is feared
he may have been the victim of rob-
bers who, believing he had received
cash for the lease of his homestead.
followed him at the first opportunity.
Upon returning to South Dakota 10
conduct a systematic search for the
missing man, Mrs. McRae discovered
that during their absence unknown
persons had broken into their old
home on the homestead and stolen al
most everything, including the furni-
ture and practically all of the house
hold goods.

Sioux Falls.-After litigation ex
tending over d period of six years
Mrs Nellie Brush, a former woman
homesteader of western South Dakota,
has been declared the rightful owner
of a valuable farm of 100 acres stu
ated northwest of Okaton. The hus-
band of the woman originally took the
land az a homestead, and after a resi-
denCe of about six months upon ii he
died. His widow continued residence
on the land and in due time submitted
final proof preliminary to obtaining a
title from the government. But At
the last moment another person who
wanted the farm filed a protest to the
final proof. The final proof of Mrs.
Brush was approved by the officers of
the district United States land office,
but was held up by the commissioner
OF the general land office at Washing
ton. The case finally found its way
to the secretary OF the interior, who
now has decided in favor of Mrs.
Brush, holding that the testimony Of
fered in support of the protest TO her
final proof was false and not worthy
of consideration. Mrs. Brush is tenn
porarily living in California, but now
puted owner of the farm it is ex-
pected she will return and make her
permanent residence upon il.

miraculous manner She is 81 years

she was totally blind, While
she was holding her little
grandson on her knee her eyesight
suddenly was restored, and for the
first time she was able to see the lit

been her constant companion during

Doors Locked to Force Attention.

proposition of submitting to the peo-
pie the question of issuing $780, 900
worth Of bonds to build a municipal
street railroad came up, officers OF
the club locked the doors, and no
member was permitted to depart until
the debate was finished and the mo.
ton urging the city commission to
call a special election was carried.
The club proposes to build a street

proposal to issue $4,000 in bonds,

ASHES TO FILL OLD MINES

have faced the city for years. Sew

caved in recently neal the city,
causing damage to property and en-
dangering the safety of persons living
near them. 1t is the intention of the
officials to fill the old workings with
ashes collected in the city, thereby
making the surface about the city
safe and solving the ash-disposal prob
lem at the same time.
In a paper read at a conference IN
city hall ]. G. Hayes, director of pub
lie works Of Scranton, deviated for a
moment from the subject under dis

said: ITO eliminate entirely the pos
sibflities Of surface disturbances and
s~ubsidences IN Scranton many plans
have been tried and all have failed.
Commissioners have been appointed
and attempts made TO have the mine
laws changed so as to hold the mining
responsible for damage to
the surface. but without success. At
