Famous Holy Terror ,
Mine in South Dakota
Bought by Easterner
Deadwood SD., Sept. -4. The
famous Holy Terror mine, the Key
stone lode, the Keystone mill site
and several 'town Jots in Keystone,
S. D., have beenpurchased by J. J.
Mandeville of Orange, N. J.
For. many years the mine, with
only a few men and a 10-stamp mill,
: paid handsome dividends from sev-
cral million dollars worth of gold
mined from the property.. Produc
tion reached $70,000 a week, accord
ing to statements. The name, Holy
Terror mine, humorously given by
the discoverer in honor of his wifey
Mas evidently matched by the start
ling richness of the free gold ore."
The sale of the property is con
sistent with the general return to,
fiancial attention to the gold mining
industry, according to the Deadwood
Daily Times. No less than six large
mines have changed hands recently
and hundreds of prospects are being
resumed where left off when the war

Reply to Premier Lloyd

To Meet Wednesday.
Coprrlfht, The New York Time.
. London,. Sept .4. Complete secrecy
has so far been preserved as to the
Dail Eireann's reply to Premier
Lloyd George, 'but it was announced
in Dublin that it would be published
tomorrow. 1 -
The political correspondent of the
hunday limes, who is often well in
formed on opinions in official circles,
expresses the belief that the holding
back of the document is at the re
quest of the Sinn Fein.'
But, . he goes on, I- understand
it is in the air, that' the minister's
opinion. is of such character as to
suggest the futility of further nego
tiation with De valera and his col
leagues." Lloyd George had a visit today
from 'General-Macready who made
a special juorney from Dublin by de
stroyer and the premier will, have
a preliminary talk with Chamberlain,
Churchill and other ministers before
meeting' the full cabinet on Wednes
day.1 -jK-'i.i'"i,-"i "'" '.,'"
"Nevertheless," the Sunday Times
correspondent . continues,' ."optimism
still prevails in Dublin and- it pos
sibly has more-' justification than is
ap'parent on the surface. It requires
an Irishman to interpret an Irishman,
arid the Dubliners may know the
real -value of nnamity with whih the
Dail rejected the government's offer.
"Certain it is that despite the con
sensus of the' Dail, there is a body
of opinion in southern Ireland, the
strength of which it is difficult to
determine that is quite ready for a
settlement on the government's terms
with perhaps some variation of detail.
It comprises' the bulk "of the profes
sional and ';'business "community
whose security is threatened by any
return to a state of war and though
it may feel it impolitic to come out
into the open at ''present, ; its influ
ence may yet be the-secret'spring of
the evident desire of the Sinn Fein
leaders to continue negotiation."
Have You Ever Been
" Bitten by Jellyfish?
Boston, Sept. 4. The jellyfish
"bite." What is it? Is it dangerous?
What arc the symptoms of its vic
tims? " -,; r
These questions were answered by
Dr. C P. Sylvester of Allerton, who
has treated scores of persons "bit
ten" by jellyfish at Nantasket He
describes the -"sting" as "an
anaphylactic reaction due to the en
trance into the pores of jellyfish
protein."
The poisoning is only temporary,
lie explains, -and, while extremely
irritating, is not serious.
"The irritation comes in the form
of red rash on any part of the body
where the fish touches," he explains.
It has no serious after effects and,
but. for the pain, is of no consequence.-

League Council
Hopes to Satisfy
r U. S. on Mandates
Revision of Covenant Likely
To Be Subject of DUcusaion ,
At Disarmament Confer- .
cnoe in November.
- Br Tb AMwkted FrMa. t
Geneva,- Sept 4. The extent to
which the Washington conference in
November occupies the attention of
those participating in the work of
the league of nations was demon
strated during discussion of disarm
ament and amendments to tin
covenant, while hope of satisfying
the United States on mandates was
reflected in the council's considera
tion of the American reply to the
principal powers on that question. '
The note was not officially before
the council, but the representatives
of Great Britain, France, Japan and
Italy have the text of the note, and
after reviewing the main features,
all agreed progress had been made
toward settlement
The Washington conference was
referred to by M. Koblemaire,
French delegate to the amendments
commission, who held that the re
vision of the pact should be discussed
in Washington with the representa
tives of the United 'States before
anything should he done to prejudice
the question. The council, how
ever, decided to proceed to consider
amendments.
. Canadian Plan Rejected.
The council rejected the Canadian
proposition to eliminate Article X,
and adopted a suggestion by A. J.
Balfour of England to appoint a
committee to draft texts modifying
the article to remove the obligation
of members to participate in mili
tary action to guarantee the terri
tory of other members.
The discussion of disarmament
also reflected the sentiment of sev
eral members not to participate in
any action in advance of the Wash
ington conference. H. A. L. Fisher,
British member, led the opposition
to the demand for immediate appli
cation of some measures of publicity
such as were proposed to the assem
bly last year, relating to the dis
closure of their armaments by the
various nations.
The disarmament commission de
cided to recommend to the assembly
that an international congress on
private manufacture and traffic in
arms be held. It also decided to
recommend that all nation- be askel
to furnish statistics of their arma
ments. ,
Questions Left Open.
Advocates of uninterrupted action
by the league contended that work
begun now might be useful at the
Washington conference, and that, in
any event, the object of the league
and the purpose of the Washington
conference being, the sam- parellel
efforts could do no harm.
The commission left it for the as
sembly either to fixe the date of the
international conference on arms, or
leave it open to be decided by the
council. , . . -
Objection was raised that the
countries might refuse to give inforj
mation rgarding armaments, but it
was pointed out that the covenant
provides that members exchange this
information.
The action of the commission is
rocrarrirrt in Ipatrllf circles aS a GTeat
step in advance and approval ot the
commission s recommendation Dy
the assembly is forecast. A ques
tionnaire to be sent to the nations
asked for the figures of the arma
ment budgets of 1913 and 1921, with
the strength of the armies in pro

New York Merchants
Oppose Ford's Offer
For Nitrate Plant
Washington, Sept. 4. Protest
against the government' acceptance
of Henry Ford's offer for the nitrate
plant at Muscle Shoals, Ala., was
made to Secretary Weeks, by a com
mittee representing the Merchants'
Association of New York. An
analysis of the Ford offer presented
to Mr. Weeks by the committee pur
ported to show that acceptance
would entail governmental loss of
$164,000,000 in 100 years. Irns con
clusion was based on the claim that
completion of the hydro-electric
nower olant would necessitate fur
ther expenditures by the government.

road, is dead. When the train
flah by the little fafmhouse near
Laclede, the trainmen will no longer
be greeted with a wave of the hand
or the shine of a light.
- For three years Lottie had . not
misted a tram, day or nighr. . No
matter what the weather, from her
cot near the window she waved a
greeting and conductor, engineer and
flagman alike responded.
Only a few months ago the train
men were deep in, their, plans for
Lottie's education and for a partial
recovery at least, from the effect ol
disease which assailed her when she
was 12 years old. Financial reverse
suffered by her father made it im
possible for her to obtain adequate
medical treatment and now the train
men are busying themselves with
their plan to pay her final homage

Legion Wants ;
Representations
On Disarmament
War Veterans Ask Voice !n

Powwow on Unem

Washington, Sept. 4. The Amer
ican Legion wants to be represented
at both the international conference
on disarmament and the r national
conference on unemployment
John Thomas Taylor, vice chair
man of the national legislative com
mittee of the Legion, has personally
made representations to . President
Harding concerning the Legion's de
sire to have a part in the disarma
ment conference. Mr. Taylor told
the president that the American Le
gion, with an active membership' of
over 1,000,000 veterans of the World
war most vitally interested in the
problems of peace and war, felt that
it was entitled to have something to
say with reference to disarmament.
In a letter addressed to Herbert
Hoover, secretary of commerce. Mr.
Taylor made known that the Legion
would also like to have a part in the
coming conference on unemploy
ment. . "
His letter to the secretary was,
in part, as follows:
"I believe that the country gener
ally is aware of the. unemployment
at the present time existing among
ex-service men, and I believe that it
would be highly advisable that the
American Legion, which has devoted
a great deal of thought and effort
to this matter, should be represent
ed at this conference, r- -,
"I know that you understand and
appreciate the 1 desire of the Amer
ican Legion to co-operate with the
departments of the government and
assist in matters of this kind to the
fullest extent"

(,T0 YOU think that girl with
II the Straw-colored hair that
lives over the way is srood
looking?" Jill asked it casually over
the coffee and muffins.1 So casually
that Jack was on guard quickly. -"O,
kind of," he admitted, as if
grudgingly.
Jill inelegantly grunted.'
s'T admire your taste," she said
ironically. . , . i ', ,
"I didn't say she was a good-
looker," protested Jack. "I . only
said she was kind ot. . -;
,. "Kmd of what?" - .f - - '
"Kind of good looking. , Of
course, she isn't my lype."
"What do you mean type?" .
"I like 'em kindof plump."
Jill was kind of plump: so she
dimpled in acknowledgement.' -
"Jack, do you like to look at
pretty girls strangers, I mean, like
when you are riding home from the
office and all that?" '
"Well, it is pleasauter if a girl is
easy on the eyes.
Jill oouted.
""I'll bet anything that you flirt
with strange girls."
Jack tried to look innocint, but
his bland, pleasant face wore the ex
pression of a- cat . who has just
swallowed the canary.
He kissed Jill particularly tenderly
when he started tor the omce and
she. was suspicious.
"I do bet he flirts," she insisted
to herself with slight regard for
grammar. . . . ;
Jack caught the usual car down
tpwn and there was the same girl
he had noticed for a week past, the
one with the lace hosiery and the
rather conspicuously short skirts,
He' wondered if her artistic ' hands
and the coy arch of her eyebrows
were an index to her character.
Pretty smooth-looking kid. Jack
thought She met his stare and ne
colored slightly and hid behind. this
newspaper. . -. '
When Jill went downtown to
shop in the afternoon there was a
perfectly stunning-looking fellow
on the car: one of these athletic
chaps with waving blonde hair anJ
a cleft in his firm chin. Jill couldn't
help comparing him .with the collar
advertisement youth just above' him
with the advantage going to the
hero who was alive.
Their eyes met and Jill, blushing
furiously, twisted about in her seat
and devoted her attention to the
landscape for the rest of the jour
ney. "Didn't I see you lift your hat to
that girl across the way when you
were coming home, Jack?" asked
Jill over the pot-roast and canned
spinach. - :
'"Nope," he said carelessly, anl
carefully devoting himself to his
dinner.
' "I think flirting is awfully vulgar,
don't you. Jack?" she cooed.
"I should say so," said Jack.

hastened to 'make- the wnrld a

the trainmen,, two train loads of
them, went to Lottie houe from
Centralia and Champaign. The
train stopped a few hundred yards
from Lottif'i.hduse and scores of
cifts were presented to her.
Just after one committee had pre
sented Lottie with wheel chair,
blankets and slipper and doirni o(
other rift which lonesome little
invalid alrl might like, another com
mittce came " with large sum of
money which wa to go lor medical
attention in an attempt to straighten
the crooked limb which made her
an invalid.
Since Christmas Lottie had waved
to the passing train with a new en
thusiasm, They were her god
fathers and the men waved back with
a new interest in their charge. She
died today and when the trains flash
by the trainmen say nothing, but
each realizes .a friend is gone.
Funeral services will be held Sun

trainmen have arranged to attend.
Fair Board Denies
Affront to Red Cross
. (Coatnu! From r( On,)
and Miss Mitchell. It also should
be understood that the fair board
did not direct that the Red Cross
should remove their paraphernalia
and booth from the fair grounds.
Object to Action.
On the evening of the accident, I
and other members of the fair board
told Mrs. J. C. Bousfield and Mrs,
J. C. Voline of the county Red Cross
organization that we appreciated
what the Red Cross stood for, and
we endeavored to make it clear that
we object to the action of the two
nurses who refused to permit an in
jured man to remain in a tent which
the fair association had provided for
the Ked Lross.
When Mr. Engles made this state
ment there were present Herman
Ernst, Tom Reed, Roy Reed, Earl
Higgins and Ed Ely, all of the fair
grounds association. They con
curred in Mr. Engles' statement that
no affront was intended to the Red
Cross as an organization,
Claim Insult" to Body.
Notwithstanding the position of
Mr. Engles, that his action was in
tended to be against the nurses as
individuals, prominent members of
the Nemaha Red Cross organization
insist that the action against the
nurses was equivalent to an insult
against the Red Cross as, an organ
ization. Red Cross officials believe
that Mr. Engles and other fair offi
cials should have gone to the Red
Cross local chapter for an investi
gation before' dismissing the nurses
from the fair grounds without a
hearing.
Red Cross officials defend the
nurses on the grounds that they, did
all required of them in rendering:
first aid .to Durand and that , they I
prop'erly refused'to allow the patient
to remain in the Red Cross tent all
night, because the tent was not
equipped for the care of patients be
yond first aid and also because the
work of the nurses ceased when
they gave first aid and a regular
physician had charge of the case.
The 'county Red Cross officials say
they offered Durand hospital at
tendance in Auburn and agreed to
pay the cost, but Durand would not
go to a hospital. I
