Ko.nobud, S. D.. was found in a snow
drift yesterday frozen to death. He
started oat from Crookston, Neb on
Wednesday with a load A coal and
feed, and that was the last heard of
him until his team showed up at
Rosebud with the check reins still
ui). Searching parties started out and
found his wagon bioken down, but
his tody was not found until today,
it is thought that after he broke

avi* up in tne cold. He lived at
Rosebud and was a freighter.
i Jeddes—December 29,1908, William
P.ircell died near Geddes. leaving two
daughters and a son as his heirs. One
of the daughters, Elizabeth J., is a
sister in the Catholic school at Tabor,
S. 1)., and Joseph Purcell, the son, has
not been heard of for about seven
years. The last heard of him he was
working at Creston, Io., and mailed
a letter to his father from Omaha,
Nel). There is riuite a considerable
amount of property, and the relatives
are trying to locate tne missing son,
Joseph.
.Mitchell—Some of tbe experiences of
holding down a claim are very un
pleasant, as is indicated in a letter re
ceived by Mrs. Volnev Hpink, who,
with her daughter, is holdiug down a
claim near Letumon, in the northern
part of the state. During the severe
cold weather of ten days ago Mis Spink
none early in the morning ami built a
tire in her shanty, and it took fire in
the roof. The tlaines spread eo quick
ly that she bad all she could do to
•scape with just a few clothes, not
enough to shield her from the bitter
cobl. She walked a mile to a neigh
bor's shanty,and was nearly frozen to
death when she arrived there. Her
clothing, money and everything was
burned in the shanty. The daughter
had remained at a neighoor's over
night ou account of the cold.

warrants to the amoant of $72,060, the
twentieth of this month, takes up to

another call before the March tax call
has been received by the «t*te treas
urer.

a building that will protect tbem.

HALF MILLION FIRE LOSS
Theater Audiences at Toledo, O., Near
Panic.
Toledo, O., Jan. 21.—«Flre that
caused $500,000 damage broke out in
the theater section just as the per
formances were about to close and
only the coolness of the managers
prevented a panic in the Arcade and
Empire theaters.
When the audiences heard the rush
of the apparatus they arose In fright,
but ware assured that the tire waa
several blocks away and the per
formances were discontinued to en
able them to see It.
The fire, which started in the
Brown, Eager & Hull Hook company's
building on Summit street, complete
ly destroyed that structure, ruined the
building of the Hudson Dry Goods
company, next door, und injured half
a dozen in the neighborhood.

tive Martin of Soutji Dakota thinks
that the government should establish
mining experiment stations in the

precious metals, after the order of

and he has introduced a bill to this
end. The object Is to encourage the
development of the mineral resources.
Onfera Suppression ef Boycott.
Constantinople, Jan. 21.—The gov
ernment has issued instructions to
the customs authorities to take meas
ures to suppress the existing boycott
on Austrian and Bulgarian goods.
This step is taken, according to the
wording of the order, because "Aus

dispute with Turkey and a decision
has been reached to establish an
agreement with Bulgaria."

trol of the railroad until May 1, un
lets the receivership is lifted prior to
that il Ue.
ROOSEVELT'S '98 MILE RIDE.
President Rode Seventeen Hours to
Refute Criticisms of Officers' Tests.
In the Interests of showing that his
endurance tests for army officers have
not been excessively hard, President
Roosevelt recently rode ninety-eight
miles on horseback and was none the
worse for it the next day apparently.
When he dismounted at night at the
White Ilouse door, more than seven
teen hours after having departed
therefrom, he explained, according to
a Washington dispatch, that he want
ed to "prove to the critics who have
found fault with the recent order re
quiring all army and navy officers to
take a physical test that if a president
who is not in training can ride ninety
miles plus In one day without being
laid up in bed thereby It should not be
too much to ask the men who are
supposed to be in the best of physical
training all the time to ride ninety
miles In three days."
Mounting his jumper Rorwell in
front of the White House door at 3:30
o'clock in the morning, he dismounted
at the same place at 8:40 o'clock at
night. The Journey was to Warren
ton, Va.. and back. "And Virginia
roads In the winter time," said the
president, "are not usually in the best
condition."
On the return trip the last thirty
miles of the journey were made in
sleet and rain, while the last fifteen
miles were In almost pitch darkness.
When he dismounted his coat and hat
were frozen stiff with sleet and Ice.
In less than an hour after returning
to the White House the president had
changed his Ice coated clothing for
evening drerfs and appeared in the din
ing room, ready for as hearty a meal
as he has oaten for a long time. If
any of the critics of his "army riding
order" had dropped in about that time
they would have been sadly disap
pointed, for the president did not show
in the least by his walk that he had
been sitting for nearly seventeen hour*
In a hard saddle.

O lovety, stricken land
Of the fierce titan's home,

That homes to thee and art—

So many sons of thine have here

Divided by the sea.
Afar they stand and weep.
Their loves are slain in thee.

Thy queen but yesterday
Thy little children sought,

IN ftiiSSOL'RI FiATE CASES
Final Arguments in Long Battle Be
gun at Kansas City.
Kansas City, Jan. 21.—Final argu
ments in the cases of the eighteen
Missouri railways that are contesting
the state 2-cont passenger and max
imum freight rate acts on the ground
that they are confiscatory were begun
in the federal court here before Judge
Eniith McPherson. Frank Hagerman,
Who opened the argument for the rail
roads, fleclared that three companies
have shown an actual loss In carrying
passengers at 2 cents, while the re
turns from the other railroads show
profits of only 2% to 5 per cent. San
ford B. L«*»,dd of Kansas City, who fol
lowed Mr. Hagerman, opening for the
state, arseiteil that one road, the
Burlington, whose officials asserted it
had lost $630,000 in Its state freight
business in 1!J04, had, as a matter of
fact, bhown a profit of about $850,000.
Governor Herbert S. Hadley, who
had been active in these proceedings
while attorney general, will make the
principal argument for the stale.
The case has attracted widespread
attention. For many months
experts
for both sides gathered testimony to
uphold their contentions and a mass
of figures was presented during No
vember and December last.
ARGUED IN HIGHEST COURT
Cases Involving Legality of Portion
of Hepburn Law.
Washington, Jan. 20.—Argument in
the "commodities clause" cases has
been reached in the supreme court of
the United States. Attorney General
Bonaparte and Solicitor General Hoyt
appeared for the government and
John D. Johnson of Philadelphia and
Robert W. de Forest and Walker D.
11 inos of New York for the railroad
companies.
The cases involve the constitution
ality of the clause in the "Hepburn
rate law of 190fi prohibiting railroads
from carrying their own products ic
Interstate commerce.
The United States circuit court for
the Eastern district of Pennsylvania
decided against the law and the gov
ernment is asking the supreta* eeurl
to reverse that decision.
New York, Jan. 21.—Transfer ot
control of the Wisconsin Central Rail
way company took place at the Car
negie TrvyU company. Newman Erb
and associates, who some time ago
acquired options on a majority of the
company's stock, paid for these se
curities. Tiie deal involves between
$4,000,000 and $5,000,000.

Stomach trouble is but a symptom of, and not

they are symptoms only of a curtain specific

It was this fuct that tlret correctly led Dr. Shoop
in the creation of that now very popular Stomach
