1.-THE ETERNAL MAGDALENE"
STORY OF THE MOMENT

1.-THE Eternal M~agdalene," which
is presented as the attraction at the
Imperial theater tomorrow evening
at 10 and 25-cent prices, is the pic
ture version of Robert McLaughlin's
famous playa story that deals with
and strikes directly at human SYM
pathies.
Elijah Bradshaw, the most power
full man in Edinburg, organizes a re-
form movement to rid the city OF its
evils as had been done in every age
before him. But his W daughter
has stepped to the brink of ruin and
the discovery brushes him.
AS he sinks into a stupor the Mag
dalene comes to him. She leads him
through a panorama of life in which
she reveals to the stern nan the de-
spair and hardships he is bringing to
others. But it is not until misery
is driven home to him that charity
finds a way into his heart. The Mag
dalene shows him his own daughter,
cast out and homeless, seeking refuge
from the mob.
Then he awakes to find that he has
been dreaming. But the Magdalenc
has sown the seed of charity. He re-
Tents and takes his daughter back
and the reform movement he had
started is put aside.

SOCIAL EVENING
EPISCOPAL PEOPLE AT HOME
OF DIR. AND MRS. HANSON.

An unusually enjoyable event last
evening at the home of DR.. and Mrs.
o.. w. Hanson, ia Fourth street
NV, vas a party complimentary to
Mr.. and Mrs. w. 0. White and son,
Robert, who expect soon to remove
from the city and take up their home
in Lacrosse, Wis. The party was
planned by ladies of st. Katherine's
Guild, of Grace Episcopal church,
with Mrs. Hanson as the hostess.
About fifty Episcopal people, includ-
ing ladies, gentlemen and children,
were in attendance. Bishop Burle-
son, of Sioux Falls, was in the city
and with DR.. Grant, resident rector,
were honored guests. A pleasing
program of instrumental music was
rendered by the children, with a vo-
cal solo by Mrs. Harry Runchey and
reading by Miss Janet Rae, of Yank-
ton college. who is in the city visit
ing her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Rae. Bishop Burleson and Dr..
Grant made short remarks along
lines of church work, the bishop pay
ing high tribute to Mr.. and Mrs.
White for their f~aithfulness to Grace
church for a long term of years.
Light refreshments were served and
DR.. Hanson, in behalf of the COM
rany, presented Mr.. and Mrs. White
and son with souvenirs indicating
the esteem in which they are held by
the congregation. The hospitality of
DR.. and Mrs. Hanson, the social
pleasures and the entertainment of
the evening were greatly enjoyed,
and barring the thought that Mr.. and
Mrs. White were soon to sever their
relations with the congregation, the
evening was altogether exceptional
in good fellowship.

MYSTERIOUS CASE
SOUTH DAKOTA FARMER BE.
LIEVED TO BE DYING FROM
BULLET in HEAD.

Canova, April 23.-Clair III. Dux-
bury, a prominent young farmer liv-
ing with his mother and other rela-
tives on a farm about one mile north
of Canova, is in a serious condition
as the result of a bullet from a %
caliber rifle entering the skull just
above the forehead and lodging in
the head. Whether the shot was
fired with suicidal intent or the rifle
was accidentally discharged is not
known.
There was nothing to indicate that
he had any intention of taking his
own life, so it is presumed it was an
accident. He has been in an uncon-
scious condition since the bullet en-
tered his head.
A peculiar coincidence is that a
number of years ago Fred Appel, a
brother-in-law of Duxbury, who also
lived near Canova, met death in q
very similar Appel had
been out shooting rats with a rifle
and a little later was found in the
doorway of the granary with a bull
let in his head, with no clue as to
whether he committed suicide or had
met with an accident as he died with.

like to state to the public that he
may be mistaken in his views. The
facts are that the elevator company

they were going to repair same, and
left the elevator standing idle with
