Small Ration of.Alcohol Consid-
eredIndispensable byAfmy
Physicians.

Correspondence of, Associated Press)
LONDON, Feb. pa daily. ration Of
rum is still part of the regular sup
plies Of British soldiers in the &C
tual fighting line, but 1t Is doled out
under the head OF medicine" and
the quantity allowed is only three ia
blespoonfuls with rations. for two
days. u.
This small ration OF alcohol was
considered indispensable by the army
physicians" writes a correspond dent to
the Liverpool Post. "They considered
it necessary that the soldier exposed
to the cold for hours in trenches,
should have some stimulant available
and experience taught that the drop
OF rum, taken either straight on In
his tea was the thing"
In some quarters fears have been
expressed that the distribution .of an
alcoholic to the soldiers might lead
some OF the men to form permanent
habits Of drinking, but army leaders
replied that the quantity handed out
was too small to justify any such
fear, and moreover, 1t is given to
men only when they are actually in
the front lines or in exposed posi-
tions on outpost duty.
AS a matter OF fact, everything 10
done to ensure the sobriety tof the
troops. When the armies are either
advancing or retreating through a
town all the saloons are closed and
the same measure is taken wherever
the troops are in occupation OF q
town.
Old .campaigners declare that their
daily spoonful of rum is safeguard
against certain diseases, such as
cholera.
AS amatter OF fact, notwithstanding
the army's purchases Of rum, the to-
tai importations Of this beverage have
fallen of more than half since the
beginning Of the war. Importers .ex-
plain this by. saying that the rum
makers in Jamaica and the West In
dies are not making as much as for
mer1y, because a greater profit Is to
besrealized Just now. from the sale OF
sugar, although the price of rum has
advanced about seventy per cent.

idea how important and 'bossy' we
feel when on watch, because even the
soldiers come to us every hour to
know II we have any messages or
orders. The 'dug-outs,' trenches,
guns, along the coast are simply
glorious; really I'm in my element.
We are on very good terms with the
soldiers-so good, in fact, that when
we said 1t was a bit cold in our bum
galows the lieutenant asked for
blankets, and the men, l believe, Of
fered so, ten of which were accepted.

half miles south of Lilly, was
killed in a runaway accident.
Hanley left Lily in an intoxicated
condition and about ten o clock
at night his two little sons. 10
and II years of age, heard him
drive into the yard. AS the man
was i'm the habit of returning
late and spending the night in
the barn, the little boys Thought
no more of the matter until
about : O'Clock in the morning,
when they looked out of Il Win
dow and saw the buggy over
turned and their father under it,.
They hurried out and found
their father dead. An inveSti
cation by the coroner showed
that Hanley had fallen forward
between the box and the front
wheel of the buggy, his foot
catching under the seat, and
that he had been dragged in
that condition for a considerable
distance with his head striking
the ground. Hanley had parted
from his wife some time ago,
the two little boys remaining
with him. while she ano three
other children went to Mime

A BIG SUCCESS
Good Attendance and Splen-
did Programs.

In spite of the threatning
weather last week tnn Third An
nual Chautauqua at SiSseton
was a grand success from every
point of view. Friday $ program
by the Russian Quartette and
Morton Pembcrton and Dr..
Rogers was thoroughly enjoy
ed.
The kities Band Saturday
afternoon and evening drew out
an immense crowd, but the
storm in the evening drove many
from the tent.
Sunday afternoon the Handel
Choir and DR.. Driver pleasantly
entertained the audience. Sun
day evenings program was rem
dered entirely by the Handel
Choir and was considered as
the most enjoyed throughout the
entire Chautauqua.
Mr.. w. S. Rupe of Kansas
City was in charge of the Chau-
tauqua as platform superinten-
dent and he made host of good
friends by his uniform courtesy y
and tact.
Miss Powers, supervisor OF
the Children's Chautauxua, was
ii very pleasant lady and made a
hit with the children.
A Chautauqua for next yeal
is assured as the contract has
already been signed by our pro
gressive business men, and one
that promises to excel the las
in every respect. Three cheers
for the hackers!

BROWNS IN
BLUE DOG LAKE
Man Filled up on Booze and
Rocked the Boat.

Waubay = William A. Jones,
who has been working on ranch
near Miles City, Mont. was drown
ed in Blue Dog Lake near here the
first of the week, under rather pc
cullar circumstances.
A coroner S jury investigating
the case found that the man
who is about thirty years of age,
came to his death by accidental
drowning, i'll Blue Dog lake, and
that intoxication was a contribu-
tory cause of death.
The case proved real puzzling
to the officials of the county for
some time. Jones and another
friend Steve Aleck, attended the
Forresters picnic here the first of
the week, ending up by going into
Blue Dog lake for a little fishing
expedition. That evening tn cir
friends missed the two men and
started a search, Their boat was
found bottom side up on the lake
with Aleck clinging to it. He was
unconscious when rescued, and for
"a hours raved in delirium.
After dragging the lake the body
of Jones was recovered, and the
small amount of water on the
lungs led to the suspicion that he
had been killed before submersion
in the water.
This, however, was settled yes
terday before the coroner's jury,
when Aleck told the story of the
accident. He stated that they had
gone fishing in the afternoon, but
were more or less under the in
huence of liquor. That towards
evening he wanted to return to
shore but Jones did not want to.
Jones stood up in the boat to en-
phasize his remarks, and fell into
the lake. Alec rescr ed him, drag
-ging him back into the boat again,
but few minutes later he repeat.
ed the performance, with the res
suit that the boat tipped over
Aleck managed to secure a hold OH
the boat, but Jones was less fortu-
nate
Jones was formerly telegraph
operator at Waubay, but a few
years ago went to Montana where
he secured position on a ranch
north of Miles City, where he has
wife now residing.

DISBARMENT SUIT PLANNED

Pierre - Attorney Genera
Caldwell has filed with the Su-
prrme court his report of the in
vcStigation which he has made
of the charges made May IA, by
John kicllland, asking for the
diS5arment of George w. Egan
His report covers charges made
in a case conducted by Egan for
Theodore kicllanG; i'm ii case for
John Hatland, and i'm case for
Henry Rickgauer, and other
cases, in which irregularities
and excessive charges are set
forth and claimed. This investi-
cation by the attorney general
was under the provisions of
chapter S5, law of 1911, which
fixes the procedure of disbar-
ment.
Under this same statute At
torney General Caldwell recom-
mended to the court his findings
in the investigation and his re-
commentator that the investi.
cations in the cases mentioned
and others have shown sufficient
evidence to Justify the court to
consider and investigate farther
the conduct and practice of Geo.
Egan as an attorney and coun=
sellor at law. If the court de.
cides upon the showing, to take
any farther action, it will be in
the way of appointment of ref
cree to take testimony and re.
port his findings to the court.
