TIMBER LAKE, SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, OCT. 14,
WALKER PLEADS GUILTY.
Stranger Who Appropriated Package of
Money at Depot Pays The
Price of His Folly.
The man who was recently ar
rested here charged with having
taken a package of money from
the private office of Agent Smart
on the night of September
30,
and
who was taken to Selby for trial,
confessed his gttih and was sen
tenced by the court today to a
term of years in the state penitenti
ary af Sioux Falls.
It will be remembered that Mr.
EE Smart had made up his remittances
551 in the usual way just before time
for the train going east, but tempo
rarily laid the package, together
with other papers, aside and when
he took them up again the package
was missing.
The man as soon snspidoned
on account of his rather unusual
actions. For instance, he repre
sented that he was here looking for
a location for a large hotel but was
seen one morning emerging from a
nearby hay stack where he had
evidently passed the night, altho
there was beds to be had upon the
payment of the ordinary price.
A day or two after the larceny
he -entered the Stock Growers
State Bank to make a deposit. He
had Mr. Limerick, the assistant
cashier, cut the money out of his
fore-in-hand necktie and also had a
twenty dollar gold piece changed
which Mr. Smart was able to iden
tify as one that he had had in the
cash drawer for some time. This
confirmed the suspicion against
him and led to his arrest.
The sum taken was
$485.30,
part
in cash and part in checks. Three
hundred and four dollars was re
covered] on his person so that the
the actual loss is only about
$62.
HAVE AN Of EN-AIR ROOM
All Beaton School* Henceforth Will
Ba Built with This Future
Added.
Hencefor'h all new schoolrooms in
Boston, according tQ a statement
made by the Boston Globe, will be
prorided with an open-air room.
"The pr il who is backward on ac
count of health," the Globe adds,
"will no longer be at so great a dis
advantage 08 formerly in the strug
gle for life and education." The
open-air room is a boon to a certain
class of pupils, undoubtedly, but
the average child would be benefited
to a much greater degree if means
could be found to maintain an even
temperature in all parts of the
school building, so that the boy or
girl who studies in one room and re
cites in another would not endanger
his or her health by passing sudden
ly from an overheated room to one
that was too cold, or the reverse. It
would also be a great improvement
if the individual prejudices of teach
frs on the subject of heat and cold
jould be eradicated, and they could
6e taught to consult the feelings of
their pupils as well as their own in
regulating the temperature. Here
is a reform that might well engage
the attention of Boston's most Mai.
ous educators.

WE WILL HAVE A BAND.
Timber Lake Has Plenty of Experieaced
MnidaiK to Start aa Ex
cedent Bail
l&Otir hurry of individual busi
ness there is still time to consider
those things that have to do with
the betterment of society, sad the
semi-public organizations, or at
lost organizations in which the
general public tpkes an interest
and are asked to suppori both by
money and labor. Thus daring
the past week steps have been tak
en looking to the future organiza
tion of three churches, a fraternal
society and last a band.
J. L. Evans, who has now en
gaged in business and will there
fore be permanently located here,
is a fine cornetist. P. C. Mutch,
who (as lately arrived from Mel
lette, is an experienced tuba play
er. R. L. Dillman likes only
pumpkin pie "better than he does
to have a baritone part up in front
of him in a good band, while V.
E. Smart is a trap drummer of the
first order. We have heard of a
slide trombone player, who from
all accounts, is sccond only to
Arthur Pryor, but whose name w*
have not been able to get, besides
others who lunre had more or less
experience, also a large number
who will be ytad to Start in at the
beginning. Mr. Evans would ap
predate it very much if all who
hgvr instruments'and wooldheiSK
terested getting such at
zation under way would
him at the meat market.
Nothing advertises a town or is
so much enjoyed by the general
public as a nice band and there
seems to be no reason why Timbei
Lake cannot, with a reasonable
amount of effort, have one of the
best. Just now we can watch
Timber Lake grow but next sum
mer, on those beautiful South Da
kota evenings, you will be able to
listen to Timber Lake blow.
Bank Stockholders Meet.
A meeting of fhe stockholders of
the Stock Growers State Bank was
held at the bank last Wednesday.
At the meeting C. A. Leanord, a
farmer west of town, and H. C.
Limerick, a farmer east of town
and who is assistant cashier, were
elected directors. This bank has
the slogan: "The Home of the
Homesteader" and well they have
for this makes the bunch all "hon
yockers" and they feel that they
should merit their brother "hon
yocker's biz." Mr. Leanord was
formerly Vice President of the
First Nat'l Bank of Rockwell, la.,
and Mr. Limerick before coming
here was connected with the Hart
ford City Nat'l Bank of Hartford
City, iad^
SQUALOR ANt) SOUALLE*.
Two club women got into s dis
pute as to the pronunciation of the
word "squalor." One aaid it was
"squay-lor," the other "squaw-lor/
The latter opened the dictonarjr
and aaid: "Here it is I'm right."
The other, still unconvinced,
looked at the word, and this is what
she saw
"Squaller: One who sipnHs"
Kansas City Times.
ALL KIND*.
Iftlt itakcs all kinds of people to

philosopher.
"Certainly," answered the plsia
person, "look at explorers. Some of
them excel with mathematical in
strument* end some with
