on the farm. Howard represented i
the young lady as his cousin which
she is. They had but Just entered
. '
upon their duties when the sheriff ,
and the father appeared.
The young man, Fred Howard,
made no resistance to the sheriff and
was speedily placed under arrest
while the father took the young girl
who, in appearance cannot be over
sixteen or seventeen years of age,
under his protection and the four ra- i
turned to the city last evening, How-
ard being confined to the county

it being composed of Sheriff Rock,
Fred Howard, his father, W. D. How

Mr. Benson, MI33 Maud Hildreth and
Miss Frances Dudley.
Howard it seems, is a married
man, having a wife and two children
and he has become enamored of Miss
Hildreth who is a young girl of rather
attractive appearance although un
developed as Is natural for her age.
She has a luxuriant head of dark
hair, large brown eyes and her face is
that or an innocent girl. Howard is
apparently a man of between thirty
and thirty-five years of age and looks
considerably dissipated. His father
states that he will do what he can
to help him out of this trouble but
that he is practically done with him
as he has been nothing but asource of
trouble and expense to him. From
the party it 13 learned that Howard s
parents and family are respectable
people and that he is the black sheep

MA YE A ROUSING
AND JOLLY TIME.
Modern Woodmen Initiate Class
From Union Last Night.
The members of Cass Camp, No.
332, M. W. A. last night had a rous
ing time at their hall, the occasion
being the initiation into the order
of three candidates from Union. To
say the young men who were Messrs.
Vernon Am, Sherman Austin and
John Hoback, got theirs is to draw it
mild. It had been the intention to
initiate a class of seven and the local
camp has made al lthe arrangements
for that purpose the goat being fed
on hair oil an dbenzine to make him
stand the strain but four of the can
didates got cold feet or missed the
train or something that way hap
pened and only three tried It. These
three had to play with a particularly
frolicsome goat and the doings are
said by the elect to have been great.
After the ceremonies were over a
general good time was had including
various kinds of refreshments and
eatables which the candidates did am
ple Justice to. Later the Bohemian
boys' band was brought to the hall
and for sometime they discoursed
sweet strains of music. The boys
played excellently and the members
of the local lodge were outdona In
praise of the band by their visitors
from Union, most of whom are musi
cians of no mean order themsnlves
There was a crowd of some twenty
five visitors present from Union all
of whom found the members of Cass
Camp the most hospitable. The
Union lodge had the misfortune to
have their hall destroyed by fire sev
eral weeks ago and in consequence
they asked the members of Cass
Camp to initiate their candidates in
this city at their hall which wbh done.
Those attending from Union inclucl-
ed Amos McNamee, Sant Gifford,
Geo. Stltes,. Vernon Am, Sherman
Austin. John Hoback, Elmer Chr.p-
man, Ed. Midkiff, Chris Petersen,
Chas. Anderson, Chas. Edmlston. Jes

Gruber, Hi Gruber, Joe Banning, Will
Frans, Jas. Talklngton, Will Niday,
Louie Anderson, Mosj MeCarroll,
Frank Bauer, Robt. Trook, Rav
Bramblet, while Charles L. Graves,
the handsome and popular editor of
the Union Ledger acted as chaperon.
The entire party returned last night
to their homes on the midnight M
P. train after extending a vote of
thanks to the brothers of Cass Camp
for the royal time which they had
shown them.
Pays Two Claims.
The Degree of Honor has had tho
misfortune to have to pay two
claims for death loss within a very
short time, having Just recently paid
the policy of Mrs. Margaret Gibson
for $2,000 and today paying the pol
icy of Mrs. William Wohlfarth for
$1,000. Owing to tho fact that Miss
Hempel's office that of grand re
corder is situated in this city very
prompt payment Is made on these
policies, the proofs not having to be
sent by mail to the office and time
spent In correspondence. The part
ies living here enables Miss Hempcl
to compile all the needed proofs and
thus make prompt payment. It Is
a matter of pride with her office to
hurry claims through as fast as pos
sible on all occasions and when
they happen in this vicinity they are
given prompt settlement. Tho sev
eral beneficiaries of the two poli
cies mentioned above are deeply
grateful for the speedy payment of
their policies.
A Painful Injury.
Yesterday afternoon as little Mar
lon Duxberry was returning home
from school a playmate named Theo
dore Wldden struck him in the eye
with a stick inflicting a very painful
Injury. The stick was thrust In pure
fun with no Idea of Injuring the lnd
and no blame Is attached to his play
mate. Tho injured boy Is a son cf
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Duxberry and the
parents are not yet ablo to say Just
how serious an Injury may develop
from the case.

Subway Under Burlington Tracks a
Beautiful llece of Workman
thip. Workmen have been engaged for
the past few days In putting the
finishing touches to the new under
ground crossing at the foot of Main
street and the place is now rapidly
assuming the appearance of a really
beautiful piece of work. The struct
ure Itself is a piece of solid, sub
stantial masonery, handsome and at
tractive to the eye and built In the
most approved manner. Superin
tendent Hedengren of the Burlington
under whose personal direction most
of the work was done can well feel
proud of the work which will stand
as a monument to painstaking care
and industry In Its erection. The
walls of the structure present a clean,
neat appearance and If the ordinance
prohibiting vandalism Is enforced as
it should be they will remain that
way. An iron pipe fence has been
placed about the walls to prevent peo
ple walking or driving into the area
and this fence also serves to enclose
the small plat of ground south of
the depot platform and extending
to the crossings edge, making It a
small park which will be sodded and
planted to flowers. This will give
that part of the ground an artistic
effect. The pavement from a point
near the mouth of the grade has been
elevated and sloped so as to turn the
water from that section of the ground
and the street into the opening
which is built to answer the double
purpose of a crossing and waterway.
For the latter purpose the opening
is sufficiently large to permit the
egress of a vast sea of water and it
will unquestionably fill this purpose.
The completion of the work is a good
thing for both the peoplo of Platts-
mouth who have occasion to go by
team to the ferry and tho river front
and those from Iowa who have oc
casion to bring products Into the city
by the Bame route, as well as for
the company which by Its erection
saves any possible danger of Injur
ing persons and destroying property
at the grade crossing.

Gregory, S. D., March 24. Judge.
James W. Whitten arrived last night
to prepare for the auction sale of the
unentered lands of this county and to
conduct the filing on the Tripp coun
ty claims. He found an unusual con
dition of affairs In that those who
came to purchase land had many of
them brought money orders on the
Gregory post office, which they
brought here to be cashed, as tho
government will accept only cash or
money orders. There were bo many
and In such large sums that tho of
fice was In a fair way to bo drained of
currency many times over. Tho Judge
ever resourceful, Immediately got
busy with tho telegraph to headquar
ters for a relief measure which which
will be put into effect. He had a
dray load of mall which was delivered
at the land office and which occupied
some time.
He will sell the land at auction be
ginning with lot No. 1, 100 a day un
til they are all sold. There are 420
lote. A certificate will be Issued to
the purchaser showing what he
bought and the price per acre. There
are more than 50,000 acres to be sold.
The Judge Is a practiced auctioneer
and will handle this part of the work
himself. He will bo assisted by Mr.
Wools from the Chamberlain land
office and by E. M. Hood of the First
National Bank of this city. The city
Is already full of strangers who are
here looking over the land to be sold,
and It is estimated that not less than
1,000 will attend this sale. There
are also hundreds of homeseekers al
ready on the ground waiting for their
turn, The city Is dotted with tents.
Every effort Is being made by the
citizens to care for the crowds and
perfect order Is maintained. The
Times will Ishuo a dally during the
sale and the filing. Tho Homestead
ers Aid, nn organization of citizens,
Is providing free ground for tenting
purposes, a bureau of Information,
and In fact doing everything possible
to make the newcomers comfortable
and welcome.
Lassitude of the brain.
Like all other parts of the human
body, even the brain will become ex
hausted and will refuse to work. You
cannot think of anything without get
ting headache, you have no appetite,
neither for work nor for food, you
are morose and even despondent. All,
that Is needed is a supply of pure
blood to the fatigued brain, and we
all know that pure blood can only
can bo made from well digested food.
It is tho result of a perfect digestion.
