Chicago. May 16.-Last night, at
Petersburg, Ind, Lawrence Church and
Leola Bailey went to church together.
They were very doleful and quiet, be-
cause it was the last time they were
ever going to church. Lawrence had
made up his mind to kill himself in
the morning. They were only boy and
girl. He was IS and she Is, but he had
reasoned it out quite calmly and de-
liberately.
My mother doesn't want me to go
with you," he said. I cant do with
out you. and there Isn't anything else
to do. I am going to shoot myself at
80 in the morning"
After church they went to the grove
near the railroad tracks It had al
ways been sacred to Sweethearts, that
grove. Now 1t was to be the trysting
place Of death.

EACH POSTS $500 FORFEIT.
Two Boone Farmers Choose Unusual
Manner for Fixing Sale Price
of Their Land.

Boone, Ia, Aug. An unusual
farm sale has just been made in this
vicinity in which a board of arbitra-
ton was agreed upon settling the ar
.guments over the price of the land.
The parties to the contract posted
forfeits of $500, pledging themselves
to abide by the decision of the arbi-
tiers.
Jeff Hoffman owned eighty acres
three miles north of Luther on the
state road. His price was S240 per
acre. Emil Johnson owned lao acres
five niles south of this city near the
top of the Legges hill which he val
ued at 1926 per acre.
The prices did not suit the par
ties yet each wanted the other farm.
They agreed to name an arbiter each,
these two to name the third and ac-
cept this boards valuation of the
farms in question.
The men showed their sincerity OF
purpose by each posting $500 to bind
the bargain.
Johnson named j. d. Helms, Hoff-
man named William Criswell and
these two chose Joe Judge, all repre-
sentative farmers and we'll known
over this part of the late. They
visited the two farms in question and
after carefully going over the prop
critics decided that Hoffmans valua-
ton was right, S24O per acre. They
cut down the valuation of the john
son farm to $11O per acre and the
trade was made in this manner.

Cresco Painter Killed.

Jack Despard, painter employ
ed by j. j. Brown & Son, is dead as
the result of fall from the NJ. E..
church at about 1880 Tuesday NOR
ming. He was at work with the
Brown crew which is painting and
decorating the church, and had, with
&c. H. Putnam, been directed by Roe
Brown to paint the windows and not
DO any work in the steeple or hign
part of the church as it was deemed
unsafe to try to reach that part Of
the church with ladders, but for some
reason Despard left his window work
and attempted to climb to the stee-
pie, having a long ladder on the
south side of the building which
reached the top of the walls, over
which he was evidentally trying to
climb or move a ladder, when he
either slipped and fell or grasped
some of the ornamental brick work
on top of the wall which gave way
and fell with him, distance of abou.
thirty feet, TO the ground
He died from his injuries the next
morning, having sustained a broken
leg and internal injuries which caus-
ed partial paralysis.-Cresco Plain

ROOSTER WALKS BACKWARD.
Internal Machinery OF OrpingtOn
Mixed Up by Operation for
Removal of Bone.

Since some weeks ago, when the
fowl was operated upon for the re-
moval of a four-inch silver of bone
lodged in his craw, an Orpington
rooster, belonging to John E. Orphal
of st. Marys, O., walks backwards.
That the bird simply got started
wrong after a months total disa.
bility and that it will eventually
learn to go ahead, is the belief Of the
man who performed the bit of sur
gerry.
Orphal is not so sure about it. He
declares that the rooster seems to
suffer considerable humiliation and
the hens of his flock regard him
with suspicion. A horse belonging to
Orphal was scared out of the stall
when the rooster backed in.
Throughout the barnyard the bird
has been a general disturber of the
peace because of his unusual meth
Cd of locomotion.

A Tragic Death.

Leo Sullivan, driver of the Birun
"37" Juggernaut, made a drive tc
Marble Rock Tuesday night of rath'
er tragic import. A family drove in
to the Birum hospital with a dis
abled Chevrolet a little before mid
night, having driven desperately
from Minnesota in response to a call
from Marble Rock that relative
residing there, was dying. Leaving
the disabled car here for repairs,
they continued the trip as above
stated. Before reaching their des-
tination, however, the dying lady
passed away. 1t seems that the lady,
who resided eight miles west of Mar
BILE Rock, had been driving home in
a buggy and had met with fatal ac-
cident, no one knew how. Her body
was found lying beside the road
Monday night. A little further along
was found the horse and buggy, the
latter with a shattered wheel. Near
the body was found some bits of bro
ken glass. The inference is that the
buggy was struck by passing aCtI
in the night, a broken headlight on
the car supplying the bits Of glass
The woman never regained con-
seriousness 20 tell the story, living
about twenty4four hours after being
discovered.-Os Press

ALL CAN RIDE IN AUTOS.
Nearly Every Family in Pukwana
Has Car. But Five With
out Them.

Pukwana, S. D., claims the distinc-
ton of being able to load every resi-
dent of the town into the autos own
ed there, and take them out on Joy
rides all at one time, without any
trouble of relays. Only five families
of the town are now without one Of
these family necessities" and the
local statesmen are making strenuous
efforts to cure this defect in the run
ing affairs of the town, and put each
family on a par as far the automobile
situation is concerned.

Helped Himself to Oats.

AS the story goes, we have in our
midst one who should have been ar
rested last week and fined Or sent to
Jail. The fellow owns a nice black
team which he drives back and forth
occasionally from his beautiful place
at the edge of town to his farm in
MaXfield township. He made one OF
these trips to the country last week.
On the way home he went into two
different oat fields and loaded fifteen
bundles of oats on to his wagon and
drove home with them. He had
been seen and the parties from wnom
he had taken tne oats called upon
him Saturday and settled with him
when he offered them $500 each. He
gave as his excuse for taking the oats
that he was ell out Of horse feed. We
suppose it IS customary and eXcus-
able for a man worth $4,000 or
more to steal horse feed, even though
J has Gas his neighbors say a field
of oats running up to his barn and
which he wouldn't have had II drive
into the country for. While $40 is a
pretty good price to pay for oats, we
believe that a Jail sentence would
have had more reforming effect, es-
pecially in case of this kind
Waverly Republican.

Donation to Ossian Band.

The Ossian band received another

Harvest Hands Got Stung.

Harvest hands from South Dakoto
who were in McGregor Wednesday,
did not give a very glowing picture
of conditions near Aberdeen. They
report crops as very poor, with the
exception of corn. which is in pretty
good condition. The hot wave came
when the small grain was in the
milk and damaged it beyond hope.
Thousands of harvest hands Went
out there looking for work, only to
find themselves stranded. Then the
tide turned backward. There were
775 men boarded the freight train on
which they headed eastward. The
state is full of men seeking work
where none is to be had, according
to the story they tell.-McGregor

DIVORCE IMMIGRATION FROM
CHILD LABOR BILL

Washington, July 25.-Anxiety
about the immigration tail pinned to
the child labor bill by Senator Borah
resulted in a conference today be-
tween President Wilson and Senate
Floor Leader Kern and Senator
POmerene.
Administration leaders don't want
the immigration question to come UP
in the senate at this time. After his
conference with the president Kern
expressed the hope and belief that
Borah's amendment would not be
pressed.
Ways and means Of keeping the
immigration question out of the SEN
ate at this time was discussed.

Voters Generally Passed Up
Constitutional Amendments

Bismarck, Nov. 14.-Among the spe.
cial issues voted on last Tuesday, the
constitutional amendment providing
for the establishment of a second state
hospital for the insane is still losing
with total of 1878 votes for and g.
679 against in the returns to date.
The bootlegging amendment, if it
maintains its present lead, will easily
carry, as only majority of the votes
cast on this particular question are
required. The totals stand: Yes. H.
451; no, 9,392.>
The repeal of the terminal elevator
seems likewise in line to carry. AS
stated yesterday, there was much con-
fusion in the rural districts as to the
proper method of voting on this
amendment. The vote stands: Yes:
for the repeal, 11,135; no 1860.
The fate of the Dickinson normal
school remains very doubtful AS a
constitutional amendment, this meas
ure requires majority of all the votes
cast at the general election. To date
$50 precincts out of a total of 1877
have given the normal school 1862
and have registered against it 1926
If the lead is maintained, and If
the voting on the question is general
enough, the amendment will carry;
but the trouble is that so many cleo,
tors failed to vote at all on any of
the amendments and referendums.

Lodge Property Not
Taxable, Say Judges

Bismarck, Nov. 14.-The supreme
court ruled tonight against the state
tax commission in the case Of the
Scottish Rite bodies of Fargo and II.
G. Plumley, versus Frank E. Packard,
chairman of the North Dakota tax
commission.
The hearing was on the application
OF the Scottish Rite bodies for writ
prohibiting the tax commission and
others from assessing and listing for
taxes property used exclusively for
Masonic purposes.
The courts decision was rendered
under section 176 of the state consti-
tuition providing for the exemption of
property used exclusively for school,
religious, cemetery or charitable pur-
poses and the court held that the
legislature did not exceed its constitu-
tional powers by enacting a statute
which placed under the head of char
liable organizations posts, lodges,
chapters, councils, communicates, con
sistories and like organizations and as.
sociations not organized for profit
The case attracted statewide atten-
ton as it affects the property of every
fraternal and charitable organization
