PITIFUL STORY
SIOUX FALLS YOUNG GIRL SLOW.
LY DYING FROM POISON
FURNISHED HER BY
DEGENERATE.

Sioux Falls, June 3.-Confined in
one Of the hospitals of Sioux Falls,
her body in a state of partial disso-
luton from the effects of a slow, self
administered poison that is insidu-
ously tearing down the vital ele-
ments, with her lower jaw already
in such a state of disintegration that
the physician in attendance has said
it would have TO be amputated and
with the prospect of hemorrhages
soon starting that will quickly end
the life that now has but little
chance of long continuing, is a Sioux
Falls girl of good family-a minor
girl below the legal age of discretion
paying the penalty of false steps
taken, suffering from the iniquities
of those who contributed to her de-
linquency.
A few weeks ago in a period of
dependency, when the joys Of youth,
health and fullness of life were dark
ened by reflection upon the relations
into which she had fallen, she re-
solved to end 1t all and took tablets
of %bichloride of mercury. Since then
the peculiar poison which defies the
usual antidotes has steadily ad-
vanced in it's deadly work until If,
by chance, life continues, 1t will ami
mate but a SCARED and broken body.

victed as n of those who contrib

uted to the girls delinquency. His
name is Arthur Stiglitz. He first
came to the attention of the authori-
ties this spring when the child of his
wife was taken from them owing to
the immoral conditions under which
ii was being reared. Upon an agree
ment made with the court that the
parents would men their ways. the
child was given into the keeping Of
its grandparents instead OF being
sent 10 the children's home.
Stiglitz failed to reform. In fact
his conduct was such that he vas
under constant supervision of court
authorities and on the 9th day of
May he was convicted of contributing
to the delinquency of the girl refer
red to in the preceding paragraphs.
by having immoral relations with
her, and was fined SIS and given a
years jail sentence.
Since then the distracted girl upon
her hospital bed has made an affi-
davit that further duplicates the man
in its story Of shocking d~epravity.
Among other things, il charges him
with being the one who procured for
her the poison with which she at
tempted TO end her life. 1t tells Of
debaucheries in which he was the
moving evil spirit. and furnishes
foundation for new charges i'm sub
sanitation of which witnesses have
already been secured.

GRAIN GROWING FAST
SEASON HAS NOT BEEN EN-
TREMELY UNAVOIDABLE TO
FARMING, REPORT SAYS.

The present spring is an exceed
ingly unusual n in an agricultural
way, in that while a few farmers
have started TO cultivate corn, which
is several inches above the ground,
other farmers have not yet finished
planting their seed. 1t is predicted
by farmers who were in the city to-
day. however, that practically all
planting, particularly where re
planting was not necessary, will be
finished by the %forepart of the COM
ing week. 1t is said that in isolated
plant fields on account of the orig
inal seed not having matured.
Despite the fact that there has
been a superabundance of rain and
the spring has been cool, the season
has been reasonably favorable to
general farming, ii is said. There
have been light %frosts, but o are
thought to have done any %pronounc-
ed damage to vegetation. Where in
some fields corn is being narrowed
or cultivated, in others there are
rank, thrifty looking stands of small
grain.
1t is told that the weather, so far,
has been extremely favorable to most
root vegetables. Many potato patches
are showing a rapid growth. Grass
rarely before has been better on the
first Of June than it Is now, it is said.

GOOD ROADS MEET
DETAILS TAKEN UP TODAY FOR
IMPROVING THIRTY-FOUR
MILES OF HIGHWAY.

While all of the thirty-four men
who have been appointed as foremen
for good roads day did not get in
from the country to attend the good
roads day meeting, which was held
this afternoon in the Commercial
club rooms, enthusiasm displayed by
the foremen who were present, and
by the assistant foremen, who are
residents of the city, in a large
measure, made up for the absence of
some of the a%ppointees.
Final details were taken up at the
meeting for the improving of the
thirty-four miles of the Meridian
road in Lake county. There will
be a foreman and assistant foreman
to supervise the volunteer work to
be done on the highway good roads
day, June 8.
Foremen and assistant foremen
spoke optimistically of the assistance
that had been volunteered. Impe-
tus to the Improvement was lent by
the eager tone of the general dis
cussion.
Some of the foremen, all of whom
reside in n country, told, Wnen In
the city yesterday, that it would be
impossible for them to attend today's
meeting, but explained that they
would do their full share on good
roads day. 1t was explained by
some that they were behind in the
farm work and that they would not
have attended the circus here yes
terday, had it not been that the rain
on Thursday night softened the
fields to such an extent that they
could not be worked.
1t is planned to hold a picnic dim
ner on good road days and meals will
probably be served at a point about
two miles apart.
City and country automobiles will
convey the men, the ladies who serve
the dinner and the food to the vari-
Gus points along the highway.

Big CROWD ORDERLY
SPECIAL TRAIN CARRIES CIRCUS
TO BRITTON, WHERE SHOWS
ARE GIVEN TODAY.

Although Madison yesterday re-
ceived one of the largest crowds that
ever visited the city. the day passed
without unusual incident. There
was no ~perceptible disorder and no
accidents were reported. If the time
honored pickpockets make a practice
of following the Gollmar Bros show,
they did not ply their calling here,
so far as is known.
After having entertained two large
audiences, afternoon and night, the
circus train left early this morning
for Britton, where shows will be
given today. During a part of the
night nearly as large a crowd watch
ed the loading of the circus para
phernalia as was on hand in the
morning to see the unloading.
Four men were arrested late in
the day on charges of intoxication,
and three were fined the usual
amounts this morning. The suspi-
cion that a pickpocket was abroad
was dispelled when a watch which
was lost yesterday IA brought to
The Daily Leader office this morn
ing. At the conclusion of the circus
parade yesterday forenoon, Miss
Ruth Harrison, residing at Lake
Madison, called at The Daily Leader
office to advertise the loss of a
watch which she wore on the front
OF her dress. The unquestionable
honesty of Frank Mowry, who is en-
gagged as tiler for Charles Turner,
vas made apparent, when that man,
in response to the advertisement,
brought the timepiece to The Daily
Leader office this morning. The
watch was found on the Milwaukee
railway track In the southeast part
OF the city, and had evidently been
lost before the owner came up town.

YOUR HOME CREAMERY

Are you patronizing your
home creamery? This is a ques-
ton every reader of The Dairy
man should ask himself. And
why? There are many good rea-
sons but every farmer should
regardless of excuses, put his
shoulder to the wheel for CO.
operative interests wherever he
can. Too many are always look
ing for an excuse to fly the track
ard every time one man drops
out it means that the enterprise
is weakened just so much. Some
man doesn't like the manager
or the buttermaker or some
member of the board and he
ships his cream and another has
some other excuse, perhaps just
as valid, but he, too, gets up on
his ear and quits. This is just
the kind of fellows that keeps
the centralizers going and they
forget that if the local cream
cries of the state should close
their doors the price for butter
fat would be just what these
fellows would choose to have it.
If you have a belief that your
profession of farming is a good
one, then try to build it up and
don't try to run it down by ship
ping to a centralizer. IF farm
ers could be made to see that
it was to their interest to CO.
operate and strengthen their
cause, they would soon be in a
position to sell their products
on the market instead of being
forced to take just what the
other fellow was willing to give.
Think this over very seriously,
brother farmer, and ask your
self whether or not you should
not make a little sacrifice occa-
sionally and play the game Of
give and take just in the inter-
est of your profession. Renem-
Der, it takes good deal bigger
man to give and take and still
keep pushing the game than it
does to get your back up and be
a GUTTER The Northwest Dairy
man.
