ANSWERS CALL
 OF GRIM REAPER
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 Mrs. Edith L. Hoffman passed away last night at her home on South Mt. Vernon street, following an ill., ness of two months from Bright 5 disease. She had realized that the end was near for several days and was resigned to the inevitable, bidding her Husband, relatives and friends farewell, but expressing the hope that they would all meet again in that land where sickness and suffering are unknown.
 Endowed with many admirable traits of character and possessed of womanly virtues that won admiration and esteem, she had endeared herself to host of friends during her seven years residence, coming to Prescott as a bride from her home in Hamil- ton, Ontario, Canada. For the past two months Mrs. Hoffman had been under the care of physicians and nurses, and although the parting of earthly ties was a prospect hard to contemplate, she looked into the Great Unknown with unfearing eyes and with Christian resignation said: Thy will, not mine, be done."
 Deceased was the beloved wife of c. Norman Hoffman, a member of the firm of E. A. Kastner & Co.,, and was aged 3G years. She was born, and lived in Hamilton, Canada, until seven years ago, when she was claim ed as a wife by Mir. Hoffman. Her maiden name was Beatty and sur viving her are two brothers, Charles of Hamilton, Canada, and Robert of Buffalo; also three sisters, Minto Beatty, Mrs. ]. H. Gordon of Strat- ford, Alberta, Mrs. Geo. Slater of Edmonton and Mrs. R. s. Unwin of Toronto. Mir. Kastner was an uncle by marriage.
 No. arrangements for the funeral services have yet been made, but it is probable they will be held tomor- row afternoon in the Episcopal church of which deceased was a member. The body will be taken to Hamilton for burial.

 The address given by Dr. R. B. von KleinSmid. president of the Univet- sity of Arizona, was the best ever heard here on commencement occa- sion. He is an eloquent and forceful speaker and had an audience which appreciated to the fullest extent, his remarks.
 "We are inclined to underestimate the value of youth at times" he said, "'but youth is the stuff out of which deeds are made "We undervalue the prospects of the boys born without prestige of family or wealth. Youth should be encouraged to see visions-to realize that the future has definite task in store"
 Dr. von KleinSmid said the follow ing four rules are good ones for every JOullS Iudl lO IOlIOW.
 q. Have an ideal.
 "2. Surround yourself with the best environment possible for the realization of that ideal 8. Give closest application to preparation.
 A. Most of all have faith in your self.
 Educational accomplishment should mean a well balanced intellect with the soul open to sentiment and sym pathy for both the grief and fun of the world. A fine conception of spiritual relationship should also be gained by every successful young man." Such were the principal points of Dr. von KleinSmid's address besides which he related as he went along many interesting personal experien- ces which were greatly appreciated by the audience.
 Dr. von KleinSmid closed by ex- pressing sympathy and appreciation for the parents who had come to see their sons at their graduating exer- cises and had been so sorely disap- pointed.

GETTING BIGGER AS
 DEPTH IS REACHED
(From Thursdays Daly.)


 w. s. Conner, superintendent of the Pine Mountain Mining Co.,. was an ar rival yesterday from Walker, and re- ported the strike on the Homestead claim as showing indications of per manency as depth is given in the old shaft
 Where the sulphide ore condition was exposed is in the bottom of the abandoned shaft at a depth of 50 feet, a two-foot body being hit, and sink ing followed for 30 feet additional, with the vein increasing to over three feet in width. This development will be continued indefinitely, and the showing is attracting more attention in mining circles of that country than has been known for many years. The Homestead was one of the first mines operated in this county, carly in the eos, and the yield was free milling. The sulphide zone being entered led to its suspension until a few weeks ago. MT Conner states the affairs of the recently reorganized Pine Mountain are assuming practi- cal as well as substantial considera- ton by the new owners, and the mill begins dropping stamps early in July. Colonel Tonkin, president, is ex- pected to return from the coast in a few days.

GOLDWATER HAD SEN
 ATOR SIMS REAL HOSTILE

PHOENIX, June l7-What looked like warlike proceeding but turned out to be very pleasant affair took place in the senate at a late hour on Tuesday afternoon. Just before ad- journment Senator Goldwater rose to question of personal privilege and began a sharp criticism of the rules and he seemed to be chiding the pre- siding officer for the manner Of their enforcement. Under the castigation, President Sims began to exhibit signs of resentment. He was plainly un- pleasantly surprised. He turned from the speaker now and then to look at members as if to gain from them some idea of the meaning of the at tack that was being thus made upon him.
 All the time, Mir. Goldwater kept advancing toward the presidents stand and talking with increasing earnestness apparently about the ty- ranny of the rules and the czarlike ap- lication of them. By this time the president was white. When within arms reach of the presidents chair, MT. Goldwater took something from his pocket and handed it to the presi- dent with a neat speech. It was a handsome and costly gold watch which the speaker said was intended as a slight manifestation of the sen ate's appreciation of the presiding of fcer and of his fairness in all of his rulings.
 The president had been taken squarely off his feet. He was now winter than ever and for a minute he could only gaze about him. When he had finally recovered he expressed his full appreciation of the testimonial and thanked the senators for what they had done to assist him in the dis charge of his duties. /

JUDGE STANFORD FIN
 ISHES WITH LIQUOR CASES
(FIom Thursdays Daily.)

With the courtroom crowded with an eager crowd of spectators, Judge Stanford yesterday cleared the cal endar of the Superior court of Y of the bottlegging cases, sentencing F to jail and imposing fines, three to fines and in two cases sentences of one year were imposed but suspend ed on good behavior. Three of the cases were dismissed on a motion Of County Attorney O'Sullivan and but two remain. They will be tried be- fore Judge Smith. The two are those of John Lindell and James Stephens.
 The three dismissed were those against Nick Marina, Martin Tes- tori aRd John NJ. Sullivan of Jerome. The county attorney based his motion for dismissal in these cases on the fact that sufficient evidence was lack ing.
 The two sentences of one year which were suspended were given Sam Manlak, a Jerome boy who pleaded guilty and Andras Madero who entered a plea of not guilty and had his case tried without a jury Judge Stanford declared that he had heard good reports about Manlak and because of his youth he would give him one year suspended sentence and that he would be under the supervis- ion of the county probation officer, Manlak is but 20 years old.
 In the morning a plea of guilty had been entered for Madero, but later in the afternoon the attorney for the de fense discovered that the evidence of the State in his case was rather. weak and they again changed his plea this time to not guilty and tried his case before Judge Stanford after waiving a jury trial.
 Fred Hawkins, deputy at Jerome was first on the stand and he told how on the morning of March 9, he, former police chief Frank Heisler, and a number of other men went into Birch Brothers place and tiat Heisler had been served something which he thought was whiskey. Madero serv- ed the drinks. He also said that Heisler had told him that it was whiskey. Heisler, who testified, con, tradicted this, saying that he had not had anything but ginger ale in Birch Bros establishment and had not told Hawkins that he had had a drink of whiskey.
 Deputy Guy Bozarth while on the stand said that he had seen Malcolm Fraser and Jimmy Merritt, when he had been called over to the saloon to arrest a man, drink what appeared to be whiskey. In cross-eXamination he could not say for sure what it was.
 Benito Alto, the "spotter" who is awaiting trial on a bribe-soliciting charge testified that on the 26th of April he had purchased a pint bottle of whiskey from Madero and that Lucio Soto, another of the spotters had seen it given to him.
 That he had ever sold whiskey to anyone or to Benito Alto was denied by Madero on the stand. Soto testi- fled that he had seen Madero accept $1 for the whiskey In cross-examin- ation Soto admitted that he had been in the city jail for period of five days, contradicting statement made by him at the preliminary hearing for Peter Gautriaud not long ago. At that time, to questions put by at torneys, he continuously denied ever being in the city jail.

ing their duty this spring in educat-
ing the people of Brookings county to

a similar import.
And it pays big dividends today as
it always has to link ones life with the

Men desert the thing and the princi-
pies that they know to be right for
momentary fame; in the struggle for
the honor of their fellow men they
seem to forget that the highest honor
which can come to a human being is to
be a man, with all that the word i'm
plies. What doth a man profit If he
attain the utmost pinnacle of fame, if
he climbs above his fellow by reason
Of %dishonor?
In the final analysis, when age has
bent the form and the stride is indefn-
ate and uncertain, it is going to be
worth while to say to those who watch
above the couch of death that there Is
not a dirty dollar in my possession.

washer at Macs Cafe, attempted to
commit suicide yesterday by taking
carbolic acid. Although she took an
ounce of the poison the result is not
expected to be fatal and the hospital

Yesterday before noon she came down
TO the restaurant and told n OF the
other employees to collect what wages
she had coming and pay n or two
small bills she owed. She then went TO
a drug store and procured an ounce OF
carbolic acid and went to her oom at

time later the little son of the family
heard groans coming from the girls
room and called his mothers attention

medical assistance and before the ar

antido9e. This prompt action probably
saved the girls life. The doctor work

dition bettered so that she could be
taken to the hospital, She was terri
bly, burned and the greatest fear was
that her mouth and throat were so
swelled that she would choke to death.
Little is known of the girls past

at the age Of fourteen, but had not
lived with her husband the past two
years. She came to Brookings several
months ago, accompanied by a sister,
who is now somewhere in North Da-
