NORTH WASHINGTON
Active Work in Grading North Wash
ington Street. Will be About IL
Feet From Curb to Property Line.

Work is progressing actively
in grading North Washington
street by the Hedrick Construc-
ton Co. The steam shovel
started at. the east end of the
street last Thursday afternoon,
and is ,crunching and tearing up
the pavement on the south side
of the street. AS soon as the
pavement is torn out, the shovel
will return to the eastern end of
the street and begin digging dirt
to the required level and width.
The street will be 30 feet wide.
All the width is being takenfrom
the south side of the street, with
exception of the Henry Wall
square, and a corner of the Leak
Covington lot. A parkway of 4
feet will be left from the curb to
where the pavement proper will
begin, and the pavement itself
will be 6 feet wide. Then a
space 18 inches wide will be left
between the pavement and the
actual property line.
AS stated, the widening of the
street and sidewalk will take
place almost entirely from the
south side of the street, until
within a square of the Methodist
church. The sharp curve in
front of the church will be partly
removed by taking off a slice of
the Henry Wall lot; in fact the
grading will tear up the entire
length of his iron fence, and into
a corner OF the Leak Covington
wall.
1t is estimated that the time
required to grade and complete
the concrete on this street will
be two months. The definite
widths of the other streetsto be
graded and paved have not as
yet been decided upon.
The Hedrick Construction Co.,
have their camp between the
residence of Miss Allie Legg and
the Rockingham Ry. track. The
rock crusher has arrived and
carloads of material will be ar
irving rapidly now to be unload
ed from the Rockingham Ry., at
the camp-site.

From the above it is seen that
Phillips lead his nearest opponent,
Mr.. Russell, by 4,003 votes, and
lacked only SAB of having a ma
jority of the entire vote cast.
Messrs, Phillips and Russell
will stage battle of ballots July
lst throughout the district. The
majority of the six counties will
have no primary for any other
office; hence the vote will likely
be very light. Here in Rich
mond county the vote will be
heavy, due to the fact that a
second primary is to be held on
that date for Sheriff, Senate,
Clerk and County Commissioners.

Stages Fake Hootch Game
Cops Find Lemonade Only

Brookings, S. D., Jan. Last week
H.. l.. Storms, a prominent citizen of
Brookings led the police of this city
a merry chase, and incidently caused
several of his friends considerable en-
barassment. Stems would approach
one of his acquaintance. in the bust
est portions of town available, and
ask him il he wanted a drink"
Usually the reply was strongly af-
firmatively, Stems would then produce
a quart bottle filled with amber color
ed liquid, and urge the friend to help
himself" He kept this up all day;
refusing to be decoyed into a private
place, but not a single one of his
friends would take the proffered drink
in full sight of nubers of his fellow
citizens. Finally when taken into GUS
tody by the police MIR. Stems demand
ed that they sample his bottle. They
did. 1t contained a very fine mixture
of lemonade.

THREE ACCIDENTS
DURING WEEK
Mrs. j. T.. McCullen Breaks Knee Cap
In Fall. Two Break Wrists

Two people sustained broken arms,
and one suffered a broken knee cap
as the result of falling during the past
few days.
Mrs. Lois Havens suffered a broken
wrist Sunday evening, when while go
ing out into the yard, she missed her
step, and fell. She is confined to the
home of her daughter, Mrs. w. l..
Clay.
Wayne, the young sol of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Dornberger of this city,
fell from a hay rack on which he was
playing Monday evening, and broke
the small bones in his wrist. He was
taken to the hospital, where he was
given attention. The lad is able to go
to school. although he will wear a cast
for several weeks.
Perhaps the worst of the accidents
was that in which Mrs. J. T. McCullen
fractured her knee cap in five places,
when she slipped and fell off the back
steps of her residence Tuesday. She
was at once taken to the hospital and
the fracture set. Drs. McWhorter and
Wheelock state that a knee cap frac-
ture is an extremely serious one, and
IL will be some length of time before
Mrs. McCullen will be able to use her
foot. She is confined at the hospital,
as it is impossible to move her.

CELEBRATES TWENTY-FIVE
ANNIVERSARY OF RESCUE

In commemoration of the twenty
fifth anniversary OF her rescue, when
she was lost on the prairie, Mrs. S. r.
Ellis entertained nine guests, all those
who remain here, who assisted in her
rescue, at a dinner party Tuesday ev-
ening.
A brief resume of the story,
taken from the files of 1895, will be
interesting. Mrs. Ellis, then a child
of six, with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
S. l.. Wilkins started in q wagon to go
to a party. While driving across the
prairie, they struck a stone and both
the parents were thrown out, the team
running away. The team finally re-
turned home, with one little girl still
in the wagon, but the oldest girl was
missing. A searching party was form
ed, and after a several hours hunt, the
girl was found in a potato patch. She
had a shawl and quilt, and had prob
ably fallen asleep. She also had a
pan of cookies which she had taken
when she jumped out of the wagon.
weather was warm most of the
night, but toward morning the wind
changed, and a short time after the
child was found, snow began falling.
The guests at the dinner were j. w.
Coquillette, F.. E. Saltmarsh, John
Schmidt, Ed. Dunn, j. ID. Miller, Chas.
Thomson, c. F. Erickson, Thos. STRAIT
ton and S. l.. wilkins.

GLENDALE

THE Week of Prayer" meetings UNI
der the leadership of DR.. Damon and
w. F. Jamison of Yankton College,
closed Sunday evening, January Sth.
The severe weather during the early
part OF the week and the | KANT
Kun attitude of some was very dis
couraging OF the start. Some thot il
was foolish anyway, to start SIGH a
thing in January" Ii is even rumored
that one ~loquacious old lady whose
piety is above %reproach, declared that
Jameson must be crazy" However
the weather was more favorable by
Thursday evening and splendid meet
ings to the close.
On Sunday. Jan. S an all-day meet
ing vas held. After the morning song
service eloquent Mr.. Jameson
gave us an interesting short talk In
story form followed by the usual SER
mon by DR., Damon. What about
lunch? Why the ladies brought along
"a nice light lunch OF buns, cold ham,
cakes, pies, pickles, preserves, etc.
Hot coffee too for all and served on
the long tables in the big basement,
built for such occasions. After lunch
the meeting was again called to order.
A song service and a special address
by DIR. Damon to the young folks, on
the meaning and beauty of the emb-
fanatic feast instituted by our Saw
Jour. Immediately following prepar-
alton was made for the solemn obser.
vance OF this sacred institution, where
upon the audience sang Il beautiful
memorial song, thus ending the days
program. Al the evening meeting the
house was again filled to capacity and
after a stirring discourse by w. f.
Jamison and a very touching appeal
by DR.. Damon. About rs young people
came forward in obedience to their
convictions, so thus ended a doubtful
experiment.
Sunday morning, January 18th DR..
Damon will give an illustrated SER
mon especially for the young folks and
children. We believe from the Drs.
outline of It, that it will be n Of the
best ever given in this community.
Everybody cordially invited.

Evidences Of Gold In
Several Portions OF State

Pierre, Jan. 10.-While the Black
Hills is the gold producing section
of the state, the fact exists that gold
shows up in other sections occasion
ally. In the past few weeks reports
come in that small particles of gold
have been found in the crops and giz-
CARDS of fowls killed for the table.
The latest i'm this line is reports of
gold found in the gizzard of a goose
killed for a Christmas dinner on the
farm of Albert flemish, near Belvi-
dere. While gold is found generally
over the Black Hills, the old gold hun
ters say gold is where you find it"
and they hunt in all kinds of forma-
tions for the precious metal. Whether
there is any gold in any other portion
of the state than in the hills" to war
rant attempts at hunting for it. a
number of years ago, Narcissel Mar
celle, one of the prominent mixed
bloods of the Cherry Creek section of
the state brought in several good
sized nuggets which he exhibited and
declared he knew where more could
be found, but would never give out
any information as to where he cur
ed those which he carried and finally
had manufactured into stick pins and
other ornaments. While he refused to
say where he found his nuggets he
left an intimation that 1t was not in
any portion of the Black Hills but
would go no further in his statements
and it is possible that he picked them
up along Cherry Creek, or in some
gravel bar of Cheyenne river which
drains the whole Of the Black Hills

The data in above outline is unne-
cessary complete.
Recommendations were made to par
ents of over 500 children as to the
physical defects to be corrected.
Recommendations were also made
in many school districts as to the
needed sanitary equipment and i'm
provement.
Health work in the schools and COM
munity is no longer a theory, fad, or
luxury but a necessity.
The physical inspection of the pupils
in the schools show conclusively the
serious need for definite attention to
matters of health and hygiene.
A great deal of time and money il
spent OF the detection of physical de-
fects, notifying parents of these de-
fects and other conditions.
The chief remediable physical de-
fects found are defective teeth, de-
fective vision, the removal OF tonsils
or adenoids and mal-nutrition or I'M
der weight.
These boys and girls are not under
weight because there is not enough
food supplied for them to eat, but
largely because they won't eat the food
that is good for them.
Often times the boys and girls feed
upon candy, cakes and pies so that
they are not able to eat enough Of the
foods for growth. Candy, cakes and
etc. are good foods eaten in small
quantities at the right time.
The campaign carried on by the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association and it's
affiliated organizations in introducing
the Modern Health Crusade work in
the schools, is purely educational and
seeks to teach the children and public
the need of daily health habits. II
these daily health chores are pursued
tuberculosis may be prevented.
The County Nurse alone cannot ac-
complish much. but where parents and
teachers work with the nurse. much
good will be done.
