We are called to mourn for our sister

the place assigned her in this world.
She was a devoted wife and mother,
a good neighbor, n ever ready to
extend a helping hand to the weak

whatever cost to herself. She be-
came a Christian in early life and
continued a Christian to her death.
There will be many stars in her
crown and the words, well done,
thou good and faithful servant will
be hers"

BOY AUTO Thief
ESCAPES FROM THE WEBSTER
JAIL AND is AT LARGE.

Webster, Oct. Frank Lahman
of Hecla, the boy bandit of the Da-
kotas who stole four automobiles In
the two states during the summer
and was finally arrested and brought
back here for trial on one of the
charges. broke Jail here by digging
out the bricks in the walls of the
jail and disappearing.
Lahman, who is but 20 years of
age, is the son of William Lahman, a
prosperous farmer near Hecla. He
first stole a car belonging TO a Water
town contractor, which he sold in the
southern part of the state. Then he
stole a Buick from a dentist In Bris-
toll, this county, selling that likewise.
His third theft was at Darlington, N.
D., where he stole a Monroe car from
a banker there. His fourth and last
theft was of a Buick at Berthold, N.
D., west of Minot.
He was arrested al Courtney, N.
D., and Sheriff Garrick of Day coun-
ty and Sheriff Wyckoff of Brown
county went there for the man, bring
ing him to the Day county jail here.
He was bound over to the next term
of circuit court and was awaiting
trial at the time of his delivery.
Lahman appears to have procured
a case knife in some manner, and
with the use OF this and his nimble
fingers, succeeded in l~oosening the
bricks in the Jail wall until he had a
hole large enough to effect his exit,
No trace of him has been found to
date.

AWARD EXCESSIVE
MRS. CLARA II. ARMOUR, CHERO-
KEE, IA, CANNOT COLLECT
$685. 900 FROM MRS.
MCGOWAN.

Sioux Falls, Oct. 4.-Judge James
ID. Elliott OF the federal court of this
city, has set aside a judgment of
$4,000 awarded by a jury to Mrs.
Clara f. Armour of Cherokee, Ia,
against Mabel III. MCGOWAN, a widow
of Milbank. Mrs. Armour charged
the defendant with alternating the af-
fections of her husband. Judge Ell
lott held that the amount granted by
the jury to the plaintiff was excess
sive.
The verdict of $4,000. awarded
the plaintiff, was returned at the
trial of the case in Sioux Falls a few
months ago after the jury had been
out only about twenty minutes. The
amount of damages given Mrs. Ar
mour as heart balm in her suit
against the Milbank woman for the
alienation of her husbands affections
was one of the largest ever allowed in
the northwest in such a case.
In commenting on the matter be-
fore ordering a new trial Judge FL
lott declared that the size of the
judgment had shocked him and con-
WINGED him that the jury was influ-
enced by other considerations thar
the evidence and law.
The plaintiff. at the trial of the
case. introduced testimony which was
intended to show that her husband
who frequently visited South Dakota
on business, had met the defendant
while in Milbank and had become in
fatuated with her to the neglect o,
his wife.

MADISON NORMAL
CHANGE In LITERARY SOCIETY
WORK-AGRICULTURAL DE-
PARTMENT IMPROVED.

A change has been made by the
faculty in the matter of literary So
ciety work. Hereafter only junior
students will be required to appear
at chapel exercises in order to secure
the literary credits. The third and
second year students will be organic
ed into another society and will hold
their meetings privately. The num-
Der of credits for society work has
also been reduced from three to two
credits per term. This was necessary
on account of the increasing enroll
ment of the school. Miss Daily of the
department of expression, who has
this work in charge, hopes to greatly
improve the quality of the public
work of the literary societies. Con-
siderable attention will be given to
dramatic work. Several short plays
will be produced during this year
Debate will also have a prominent
place in the society programs. The
art of public speaking receives the at
tention that such an important sub
ject should in an up to date school.
The agricultural department has
just installed several new pieces of
apparatus. This is one Of the best
equipped departments to be found in
any normal school in the country.
The students are being prepared to
do very practical work in soil analy-
sis. Samples of soils from various
parts of the county and state are
being studied in the laboratory and
tests of various soils are made for
farmers throughout this section of
South Dakota. The Normal students
who expect to become teachers are
thus prepared to conduct practical
work in agriculture in the public
schools.
The lecture committee reports that
the appearance of the Ben Greet play
ers is assured. A sufficient number
of subscriptions have been secured
and the date will be announced soon
This will bring an attraction to Mad
ison that will do much to enrich the
experience of the students of the Nor.
NAL and the people of the commu'
nifty.

school faculty will deliver her popu
lar lecture, THE Making of a Man.

MASONIC Charm
LOST IN TEXAS AND FOUND in
ABERDEEN-ROMANTIC
HISTORY.

Aberdeen, Oct. frank Seike. an
employe of the Milwaukee freight
house here, recently made a find OF
a Masonic watch charm which proves
to have a most interesting history.
The find was made about two months

with four small diamonds set In 1t,
being found in a path through a
patch of weeds in the Milwaukee
yards. The name of the owner,
George Zugschweidt of C~hillicothe,
Mo-, was engraved on the charm.
Mr.. Seike turned the article e
to H. C. Donnohower, local freight
agent. who addressed a letter to Mr..
Zugschweidt at Aberdeen and another
one to him at Chillicothe. Not hear

nehower wrote to the Masonic lodge
at C%hillicothe. and received a reply
which brought the interesting history
of the charm to light. The reply was
