sired to marry her, but she refused abb
solutely to have anything to do with
the fellow. Fearing the girl would
he determined to put her out Of the
way. Miss Nelson had gotten up
early that morning, built the kitchen
fire and made the coffee, then went out
to the barn, a considerable distance
from the house, to milk. She was
seated beside one of the cows when
without uttering note of warning,
Hemingen stepped up with a pitchfork
in his hands and struck her terrific
blow over the head, cutting the scalp
to the bone Miss Nelson wore a sort
Of a hood that protected her head
somewhat and probably saved her
from instant death. She was not rem
dered unconscious by the blow, but
was slightly stunned. She grappled
with her assailant, who continued to
rain blows over her head and body.
Miss Nelson is strong young woman
weighing $50 pounds, and is nearly as
strong as her assailant. i, She battled
for her life and put up terrific fight.
She managed to break away from
Hemingen and jumped over into the
alleyway in front of the stalls. Hem
ingen, now entirely beside himself,
followed her and continued to strike
her with the fork, breaking the han
die of the fork with blow over her
arm. The bone of the arm was broken
at the same time. He struck her over
the head several times as she lay in
the alleyway, then to finish his terri
BILE act stuck the fork into her breast.
One tine entered the chest, passing
close to the heart, making wound
nearly two inches deep. It is feared
that blood poisoning may set in and
if it does, death will undoubtedly fol-
low. Miss Nelson became unconscious
and Hemingen, thinking her dead, left
and went to the house. AS soon as
she regained her senses she managed
to get to the house, where she notified
her mother, who had not yet arisen.
She then walked half mile to the
home Of Sumner Herzog, bleeding

YOUNG VOTE DECIDES.

Uncle Joe Cannon told the Five
O'clock Clubbers the other evening
that it took the United States Census
bureau two months to answer a ques-
ton he asked. This is the question:
How many of the voters who cast
their vote for Mckinley and Bryan iii
1896 are now living?
The answer: Only 40 out Of every
100. That means that one-half of the
voters pass out every twenty years.
This fact is we'll to keep in mind, be-
cause remarks like this often are
heard: Remember that 100000 men

that Hemingen admitted that he tried
to kill the girl, saying that if he could
not have her, no one else would. It is
said that had he accomplished his
purpose, he intended taking his own
life.
Miss Nelson was cared for at the
Herzog home for several days but is
now at her home, where she was car
RED. Miss Nelson is held in high es-
TEEN by her many friends, who extend
sympathy. They all hope for her
speedy recovery. The Ladies' Aid of
brady sent beautiful flowers and hum
dreds of people are offering to do
what they can to alleviate her suffer-
ings.
The brady people were greatly
worked up over the affair and it is
fortunate for Hemingen that he was
not dealt with in a forcible manner.

But ex-Speaker Cannon's quest for
facts show that only three Of the g.

presidential election. Indeed, the

he was placed under arrest by Con-

that he was to be taken to Minot at
once, asked that he be allowed to

GETTING COPY IN ON TIME.
The Last Hours Before Going to
Press Are Busy Ones. Late
Copy Always Suffers.

Any person serving a newspaper
in any capacity usually is made to
realize the need of getting copy into
the Office on time. Occasional cor
respondents, however, and the pub
lie generally, do not see why their
copy should not be printed in full,
even though it is brought in at the
last moment.
An actual incident that happened
on well known exchange, illus
trates about the way the thing works
where copy is delayed
A country correspondent sent in
his regular letter the news that a
certain Mrs. Rock had been run
over at cetarin railroad crossing
that morning. His story ran along
something like this: 1.-The victim
was taken to the - hospital,
where she is now suffering intense
agony"
OhOi lily dltCI Tie correspondence
sent his letter, Mrs. Rock died.
There was still time to have got off
a supplementary letter, which would
have reached the office of the paper
in plenty of time to have given the
editor chance to make the needed
changes carefully.
But the correspondent delayed
sending word, and it slipped his
mind until it was time to go to bed.
Then he called up the Office by tele-
phone, and Informed the editor that
Mrs. Rock had died, and that the
item must be changed.
1t happened to be very busy
night, and the force was being driven
by some emergency at top speed.
The editor rummaged around among
a pile of proofs, but things were in
such disorder that he could not find
The one he wanted. He went out in
to the composing room, and under
took to make the needed correction
by reading from the type, an always
hazardous proceeding il one is in a
hurry.

GIRLS CHEAPEN THEMSELVI
Beau Struck Damsels Lose Respect
OF Every Friend They Have.

Manson Democrat: Girls, don't
cheapen yourselves by allowing
yourself to be everybody's plaything.
1t is all right for you to have a Eel
low and go here and there with
him, but don't be everybody's girl
because they ask you to be, and
then imagine that you will not chea-
pen yourself in the eyes of everyone,
especially the young men. 1t is a
laudable ambition for a girl to have
a fellow" and she is entitled to
the best if she is the right kind of
a girl
But it makes no difference how
really good she is, she loses the re-
spect of everybody when she gets so
boy-struck that she cannot walk
down the street without catching
on or without stopping to CAB with
every lobster she happens to meet.
When she permits such familiarity
and cultivates it she loses her digni-
ty and that is one of the rudiments
of being lady.
The average young man has no
genuine respect for a girl who is
familiar with all the boys of her ac-
quaintance and she is the last girl in
the world he would think of marry
ing. II is disgusting to see an other
wise sensible girl gadding up and
down the streets, cabling with every
wart she meets, loafing around the
stores and shops sponging treats
from all who have the price and dis
position to loosen. That girl is
marked for the bargain counter, and
when she marries it is invariably
the last or only chance.
Married life can be happy only
when the husband and wife have the
most implicit confidence in each 9TH
.er and no man can have confidence
in the cheap, gadding, gossiping,
giddy girl, the one who imagine the
boys are all eager for her company,
when in reality, they only use her as
a plaything with which to pass the
time. Don't cheaper yourselves,
girls, but pick out some really good
young fellow with an ambition be-
yond the cigaret smoking, booze
fighting or gambling, and tie to him
If he does not suit you. get some 9TH
er fellow until you find the right one
that is if you must have Eel
low"-don't fool around half doz-
en- of them at once and think for
minute that any of them really re-
spects you. He does not. He is sim
ply four-f1ushing.
An honest girl is the most beauti-
full object in all creation, even if she
is as homely as hedge fence, but
cheap girl-Oh, get the axe.

patch came out next morning reading
something like this, which was not
particularly pleasing to the relatives
of Mrs. Rock:
Mrs. j. E. Rock was run over
this morning at the crossing of the
X. & z. railroad. She was taken to
the Mercy hospital, where she died
at p. m. She is now suffering in
tense agony, etc. etc.
Moral, any newspaper copy should
be delivered to the Office at the earli-
est possible moment, and the quick
er it gets in, the freer from errors
it will come out. Let us all bear this
in mind and get busy from now on.
