NOT DEAD.
J. S. Jackson, editor and publisher
of the Inman Leader is not dead. To
keep from swamping the Inman post
office with advertising literature ad
dressed to Mrs. Jackson by numerous
tombstone manufacturerers who are
desirous of decorating his resting
place with their works of art, Editor
Jackson in a recent issue of the Leader
publishes a general denial of his
death an account of which appeared
in the Bonesteel, South Dakota Enter
prise of May 1, and particularly denies
that he was shuffled off in the grew
some manner described in the latter
publication. Editor George H. Gross
of the Bonesteel Enterprise, after the
receipt or a letter from Editor Jack
son denying that he is lead, last week
retracted the death notice, but not the
nice things said about the Inman
editor in the obituary notice.
Mr. Jackson first discovered he was
dead about two weeks ago when a
telegram was received at.Inman from
South Dakota friends anxious to know
how he got killed. Other messages
continued to pour in from Bonesteel,
where Mr. Jackson once was publisher
of the Gregory County Pilot and also
a member of Bonesteel city council.
Then Mr. Jackson secured a copy of
the Bonesteel Enterprise of May 1 and
was horrified to read in it that his
body had been found in a thicket of
trees a few days before with the head
crushed in and the throat cut. Also
that he had received a considerable
sum of money on the day of the
tragedy and that his empty purse was
found a short distance from his body.
The. implied motive of robbery con
vinced Mr. Jackson that he had not
been murdered and he immediately
notified the Bonesteel editor to that
effect. In reply he was informed that
a letter purpostfng that he had been
murdered and signed by Mrs. Jackson
had been responsible for the Btory,
Now editor Jackson and Mrs. Jackson
are hunting for the letter writer.
‘‘AIN’T NATURE WONDERFUL"
(By Uncle Pete In Omaha Bee.)
O’Neill, Neb., May 26.—The corn
borer soon may become as scarce as
the lawn dandelion has since a use
has been discovered for it. Cliff Davis,
cabinet maker and furniture maker of
Beaver F lats, has discovered a use
for the pest of the farmers of the corn
belt and now is directing the energies
of the little insect into useful and le
gitimate lines of industry. Mr. Davis,
for several years has been engaged
in the manufacture of antique furni
ture from walnut and other hard
woods from the forests along the Cala
mas, but has experienced considerable
difficulty in meeting the unfair com
petition of eastern second-hand goods
denlers who furnish their furniture
equipped with scars of age and rough
usage and profusely embroidered with
worm holes. Their first mentioned
trickeries were not hard to overcome,
but he had almost abandoned hope on
the last, until he observed several of
the corn borers ot work in his gardens
last summer and hit upon them as the
solution of his troubles.
Mr. Davis, following his observa
tions of the insect at work secured
several pairs of them and after a time
succeeded in taming them so that they
became unafraid of man. Then, dur
ing the fall, winter and early spring
months he so trained them, by con
fining them to a diet of the sawdust
of the hardwoods, that eventually they
lost their taste and appetite for corn.
Little sticks of the woods then were
placed in their cages for them to work
on. The newly acquired appetites
were transmitted by the borers to
their offspring, which already are
quite numerous and Mr. Davis now is
able to turn out an article of antique
furniture which defies detection by ex
perts when conuMWed with ancient
pieces of proven ancient manufacture.
