Theodora Sekutera Drowned Word came to Loup City last Fri days evening that Theodora Sekutera known better as ‘‘Gibson's Sekutera Judgment,” had been drowned that afternoon in Davis Creek, near the mouth of the creek, where it empties ‘ into the Loup river, just across the I line in Valley county. Saturday. County Attorney Starr.' who had been called over to the east side in regard thereto, phoned County Coroner Main to come over and hold an inquest, taking Miss Needham, Starr's ste nographer along to take notes in the inquest ordered over the remains. The inquest took place at Ashton Saturday afternoon, and developed the facts as related by the witnesses to the drowning, that Sekutera and some six or eight men were camping at the mouth of the creek for a day or two. and Sekutera was taken with cramps when in the middle of the creek, where the w ater was claimed to be about twelve feet deep, and the body could not be recovered for some two hours. Deceased left a widow and three or four children, and the inquest was at her request, believ ing her husband had drowned as the result of too much booze, and was in toxicated at the time of drowning. The witnesses with one accord test ified that there was not nor had been any booze in the party and that it was a strictly prohibition crowd.

Letter from Ward Yer Yalin We received an interesting letter from Ward Yer Yalin at Mitchell, S, D.. underdate of July 21. He said “It looks very much like rain this morning. Sonth Dakota is verv spot ted as far as crops go. This county and the one west of us have splendid crops. Potatoes have felt the effects of dry weather, for they are 75c a peck. Wheat is threshing out better than it looked like it was going to when it was harvested. Oats, though, are not very much good. Corn is verv green and is earing well. We do not like the water here at Mitchell. The well water, excepting a few wells, is very hard and has a very strong saline taste. We use rain water. Boil it and put in ice box, and it is then very good. Have bought two cases of distilled water, but that is very flat.

Breakfast is called. Good by." Danger In Dirty Ice-Boxes In the August Woman's Home Com panion. on "The Doctor's Page." the author talks with great good sense about home sanitation in summer. Following is some good advice about the ice-box: “It seems scarcely nec essary to say that a dirty, til-kept ice box is a grave danger to health. Of course, the modern porcelain or glass-lined cabinets are most desirable and very easily kept clean. Unfor tunaately. these are as yet. not for the majority. However, a sanitarv ice-box is possible to every house-wife who demands it. Be carefull not to spill food on the shelves: cover closely all eatables to be put away: insist upon clean ice: scrub and scald the in terior of the ice-box with strong soda water once week, completing the op eration by pouring down the drain a solution of Platt's Chlorides, an odorless disinfectant. An ice-box drain should never be closely connect ed with the general sewerage system unless this has been done in a per fectly sanitary way, by a responsible plumber. To save the constant emp tying of the waste water, a rubber tubs may be fitted over the small drain-pipe, in the bottom of the ice box. and led out of doors through a small hole in the floor and other neccessary out-lets, being finally carried away as surface-water."
