Her Death From
Fast Moving Train

Aberdeen, July 23.-An unknown
middle-aged woman. jumped from a
west-bound train at Selby late last
night and was instantly killed. In
her possession was a ticket from
Grand Rapids. Mich. to Seattle but
no marks Of Identification were
found.
The cause for the rash act Is not
known as none OF the passengers
had visited with the woman, al
though the theory is advanced that
she was slightly demented. 1t is said
by members Of the train crew that
at point about a mile west OF Selby
the woman calmly walked to the
smoking compartment Of the car in
which she was riding and walked
over to the window and jumped. She
was instantly killed and rolled down
an embankment near the spot where
she lit. The train was travelling at
a high rate OF speed. The body was
placed in the hands of the coroner
at Selby who is making an effort to
locate relatives.

''There has been too much atten-

Here's a Story by
Our Friend Dennie

There are few people who know
how to tell story we'll. Our friend
Dennie belongs to this class. You
know instinctively when Dennie
starts to tell you story that it's go
ing to be worth hearing, and you
settle yourself to listen. In the
course of conversation the other day.
he told us one which we want to give
to you. We didn't know the party,
but we don't doubt the veracity be-
cause we depend implicitly on Dem
MES word. We we're discussing the
wonder of modern surgery and he
was speaking of an article which ap-
peared recently in magazine or
daily or weekly to the effect that an
eye could be removed so dexterotls-
ly and inserted in the socket OF
hitherto blind person with such pre-
cision that the erstwhile sightless
one could see. We had read the
article, and had marveled. There
followed DENIES story. 1t seems
that very handsome fellow lost the
sight of both eyes, A young lady
who became acquainted with him
was SO kind to him that his heart
filled with love for her. The young
lady in question had been sighted
by the gods when they bestowed the
gift of beauty, and was horribly
plain, but possessed SO beautiful a
disposition that she resolved to sac
riflce one Of her eyes to her lover
in order that he might see the
beauties Of the world. She accord
ingly did so, and after the ordeal
was over, and the lover saw the lady
with her natural absence Of beauty
further marred by the loss of one
optic he fed for the wilds and has
not been cen since.

Sheriff Baker Has
Novel and Quite a
Disagreeable Job

George Minder came up from Will
mot Sunday, bringing with him
man who had been causing the citi-
zens Of that little city some uneasi-
ness. For about week he had
been wandering about the fields ad-
jacent to town, and they had fears
regarding his mental condition. So
our sturdy sheriff took the fellow in
hand. Questions revealed that he
came from Illinois. Mr.. Baker
found his mental condition to be far
ahead of his physical. The exterior
Of his body was as black as the soil
of Wilmot could make it, and Mr..
Baker isn't certain but what UNDER
lying layers covering his hide in
stratas originally belonged in Illi-
nois. He was scampering with
coolies and kindred vermin, and the
officer procured long handled
brush, soap and water and started
on the arduous task of converting
the sucker into respectable coyote.
He succeeded in manner which was
surprising, and when arrayed in a
clean suit of clothes, we doubt If his
pals would have recognized him.
Mr.. Baker then treated the fellow
to fine auto ride where he might
obtain work.

The Fifty Million
Dollar Cattle Fad
From Pierre Capital Journal

1CG1C Sdek11Sd1A 0OOtkedk
All kinds Of propaganda circulars
and great headlines in the newspa-
pers about 18 days ago told of the
action of the government and the
bankers uniting to provide $50, O0O,-
900 to help out the farmer. Sound
ed nice to the guys who loaf on the
curbs in the cities, who don't know
the difference between corn shred
der and a manure spreader. They
might imagine that 1T was great
thing for the farmer, but in reality
the plan, IL carried out to it's full in
tention, was gigantic joke 1t was
probably planned as prelude to the
musical attraction that has followed
when the people are now notified
that the government is going to do
nate whole half billion dollars to
the railroads for the cussedness and
dereliction that the railroad man.
ayers practiced during the war, a
sum 10 times as great as that sug-
gested to help out the farmers Of the
entire nation. The sane and sensi-
BILE citizens in the next election is
certainly going to be placed in
dilemma. Democratic duplicity and
ineficiency followed by republican
repacity and rankness is going to
leave the voters stranded high and
dry, SO far as choosing between the
two parties, oie of which will in all
probability succeed to control for
another four years. It was to be
expected and presumed that the
Harding administration would have
hard road to travel, but we did not
believe that the republicans would
be quite SO sloppy and unmindful of
human interest as congress seems
to be. Evidently the wealthy die
tators Of government managers and
control have lost all interest in hu-
man welfare and success Of the COM
mon citizen and are determined to
impose an era Of tax-the masses
are left stranded like the straw OF
the wheat field after a hail storm
which has pounded out the kernels
Of grain and left only semblance or
shadow Of grain field in its de.
structive weight. It may be that the
common people will continue to stand
for this outra geous imposition on
humanity for many years, but We
really doubt it. We firmly believe
the time is not for distant when the
people will insist ard demand thai
