infuriated cow which gave every
symptom of being affected by hydro

DeSmet—A/ter a preliminary inves
tigation of the circumstances sniround
ing the deeth/rf.Andrew Peterson, em
ployed on a farm in Kingsbury county,
who met a tragic and sudden death,
the authorities of Kingsbury county
decided that an inquest would be un
necessary. Tbe unfortunate man was
in bis asnal good health when he went
to the barn to take care of tbe stock.
He was absent longer than asnal, and
a member of tbe family went to the
barn to look for him, finding his dead
body at one end of the barn Upon
investigation the distinct imprint of a
horse's hoof was found on his body im
mediately over the heart, and to a
kiek by a horse was death attributed.
One of tbe horses was loose in tbe barn
when tbe body was found, and this
doubtless administered the death blow
to Peterson when he attempted to drive

Woonsocket—Efforts to secure an»

vicinity among the greatest spouters
of the kind in the United States.
Tbe old artesian well which for years
has furnished the water for the local
waterworks nystem, wben first struck
was the greatest well of the kind in
the west, the flow and pressure being
something enormous. The flow of the
well has gradually failed until it be
came necessary to seek an additional
flow elsewhete. The new well, when
tbe water from it is turned into the

FINDING TBE POLE
Essays by London School Child
n the Great Dis
covery.
London, Oct. 8.—A pleasing feature
in the modern way of educating day
school children is tbe method of giving
lessons on topical subjects. During
tbe last few days in some hundreds of
schools in London and elsewhere tbe
children have listened with great de
light to the stoiies of the double dis
covery of the North Pole. They were
then told to write essays on the sub
ject.
Here are some selections from essays
in a London suburban school
"There is now a lot of talk about
the disx'overy of the North Pola,"
commenced a girl of ten. "Dr. Cook
was supposed to have reached it, but
when he got there Captain Peary came
up ovtr tbe side and told Dr. Cook the
pole belonged to him. They both be
came very angry and waved the Stars
and Stripes, bat presently agreed to
leave it in the bands of the President
of America.''
Says another: "A lot of people
have been trying to find the North
Pole, but when they got there they
died, and tbeii bones wore found b^
Dr. Cook and Captain Peary. Tue
reason why Dr. Cook and Caput in
Peary did not die was because they
were Amreicana."
Tbe following is the result of a seri
ous efiort by a little girl who has
mixed the North and South Poles:
"A lot of men have been trying to
13 reach the North and South poles,
and at last there have been two—Dr.
Cook and Captain Pearv, Dut Dr Cook
was first. It is very cold at tbe North
Pole and always snowing, but there is
nothing to be seen but fields of snow.
That is why it is called the North
Pole. Lieutenant Shackoltcn tried to
get there, but went the wrong way.
Mother says that soon tbere will be
airships flying around the North
Pole.''
One youthful essayist is of the opin
ion that Mrs. Peary accompanied her
husband to the North Pol«». The essay
rans:
"Just lately it has been said that
the North Pole has been reached.
Some people say it is a story. Tbe
man who says he reached it first was
Dr. Cook, and there is another man,

went with him. When they got to
the pole a child was born there, when
it was two years old, and they now
call it the 'Snow Baby.' It was born
covered with hair, and had a lot of fur
round its eyes
Again another eraayist affirms that
Captain Peary reached the North Pole
on a Dreadnaught. He adds:
"The reitson why he went by sea
was because it was cheaper than going
by train. The discovery of the North
Pole is a good thing, because it is the
end of the world."

Orderly Crowd at Aberdeen—Re
gistration Proceeds With
Much Dispatch.
Aberdeen, Oct. 6.—That Alwrdeen
will be amply able to care for any
sized crowd that may come to the
Cheyenne River and Standing Rock re
H«rvation registration was shown by
the result of the way in which the first
day's crowd was disposed of. Up to
7 o'clock last evening 4,20 people had
registered, yet the ordinary business
routine of the town was not disturbed
in any way. The restaurants and ho
tsls are taking care of the crowd com
fortably, without buny or flurry or dis
turbance of tbe ordinary even tenor of
the day's transactions. If the same
ratio keeps up during the twenty days
of registration in the neigbhorbood of
11
HI ,000 persons will have registered at
Aberdeen. If the number should reach
200,000 or 1500,000 the town will be
able to take care of the people without
difficulty. The crowds are peaceful
and orderly. The amount of drunken
nesa is very slight and the criminal
element is either fimall or the enlarged
police service has served to cow tbe
would be criminal*.
The registration proceeds with much
dispatch. Judge James W. Witten.tbe
superintendent, is located within easy
access to Doth registration booths, and
is ready to respond to all inquiries
that may come op. One juestion
which the notaries cotild not Bolve was
whether the application of a man who
signed bis name in Oerman should be
received. Judge Witten ruled that if
that was his usual signature it should
be accepted. Another anxious indi
vidual called upon Judge Witten and
inquired if the fact that he hail affixed
two 1-cent postage stamps on his enve
lope instead of one 2-cent stamp would
in anyway invalidate his registration,
and was relieved when he received an
assurance that it would not

ASSERTS THERE IS NO TRUST
High Official of Du Pont Company on
the Stand.
New York, Oct. 7.—4n the hearing
on the government's charge that the
E. I. du Pont de Nemours Powder
company and its allies have fought
the anti-trust laws Alfred I. du Pont,
a director and vice president of the
principal defendant testified that
when the government brought suit in
1907 there were no trade agreements
in existence so far as he knew. Mr,
du Pont said the European agreement
was the last cancelled in 1906.
Mr. du Pont said that it had cost
bis company a considerable amount to
cancel those agreements he did not
know how much. He said that so far
as he knew the members of his family
who conducted the business before he
and his brothers took charge did not
carry on a competitive destructive
warfare" against their competitors.
"Purely sentimental reasons," he con
tinued, actuated him and his partners
in retaining the Du Pont powder busi
ness when they took it over in 1902.
"There was no reason," he added,
"why the business should go out of a
family where it had been for 100
years." Prices of powder were lowei
and competition In th^ business was
greater now,'* he asserted, than In

President Very Weary When He
Lett San Francisco,
San Francisco, Oct. 7.—After a feu
hours' rest, following a night of bait
quetting. President Taft departed
a few days of real rest In Yosemit
valley. In spite of his great strenglh
the president was a very weary ms1:
when, after fourteen hours of almos'
constant entertainment, he retired i
2 o'clock in the morning.
One of the features of the visit hei
was the banquet at the Fairview ho
tel. Governor Gillett, in an address
urged the maintenance on the Pacifi*
coast of a fleet of at least sixteen bin
tleships. He 3aid:
"The battle for trade is on the Pa
ciflc. We have no island possessions
across the Atlantic and the navy i
drifting idly on the bosom of tho
waters. We need the navy in the
oific for the protection of our cot
merce and for peace, not for war."
The president responded: "Now,
Governor Gillett wants sixteen u
eighteen battleships cn this side
the water all the time. Well, if yr i
will guarantee that the only attack
are coming on this side we will gh
vou the ships. But you forget that
the Panama canal will be completed
within four or five years and it wii
double the efficiency of the navy and
will cut in two the distance by watei
from the Eastern to the Westerr
ccf sts."
The president then turned his at
tention to the ship subsidy and agaii.
gave that proposition his emphatic
endorsement.
