Soldiers* Queer Biscuits. The Indian and Australian can make their own army biscuits; the former is a “chupatty,” the latter “damper.” A chupatty results from the mixing into a stiff paste by an Indian of flour, salt, and water, and baking it on a metal dish over a hot fire. But the Indian cook seems a necessary ingredient to make It tasty as well as nutritious. Damper needs flour, baking powder, water and wood. A hole in the ground is the oven. Fill it with wood, and while that is burning make your dough. Then lay it on a large stone, cover it with a tin, and cover the tin with the hot wood ashes, and the result will be damper. Where the Slowest Lead. When motor trucks loaded with ammunition are dispatched to the front, from a depot in the rear of the firing lines, it is now self-understood that the slowest trucks go in front, while the fastest bring up the rear. This was found necessary because of the tendency of ammunition drivers to go at top speed, when the call for shells and cartridges comes. If the slow trucks are in the rear of the column, the latter is strung out over miles of road with great gaps between trucks — offering an inviting target for an attack by reconnoitering armored motor cars or cavalry. —Scientific American.

FINO HUGE FOSSIL BONES OF GREAT LIZARD UNEARTHED IN DAKOTA—PRE-HISTORIC REPTILE. HAPPENINGS OF THE STATE What Is Going On Here and There That Is of Interest to the Readers Throughout South Dakota and Vicinity. Winner.—The skeleton of a prehistoric dinosaur was unearthed by a dredging crew at work on the city waterworks, near Shoemaker Springs, four miles south of Winner. While the ditching macline was in operation in an unusually deep cut it suddenly brought to the surface among the debris several huge bones resembling the paddles of a rowboat. The workmen were amazed to find so far below the surface the bones of what they at first thought to be an enormous buffalo. The bones were so large that they stopped the work of the dredger. Councilman Barnum, president of the Bank of Winner, who was present, at once recognized the bones to be those of some prehistoric animal or reptile and had a few of them brought to Winner, where parts of the vertebrae and the extended shoulder were fitted together. The paddle-shaped structures, which extended upward. From the vertebrae, measured in the neighborhood of six feet. This rib was curved like the rib of ordinary animals. A socket in the vertebrae allowing the rib to fit in was found. While the large structural bones stand above the spinal column, the ribs extend downward. This peculiarity enabled Prof. Bruce Backus and others versed in archaeology to at once identify the find as belonging to the prehistoric dinosaur. The remarkable feature is that, while this fossil may have lain buried millions of years, the bones were not petrified, but still are of an ivory nature, quite hard and brittle. Although many strange prehistoric mammals and species of huge reptiles are said to have been found in the Black Hills, so far as known, the prairie country comprising the Rosebud has never heretofore given evidence of fossil habitation. The dredging crew evidently reached only a portion of the back of the fossil, and it is expected that archaeologists will become interested and excavate the entire remains, which still lie below the surface of the bottom of the sea, passed over by the dredging machine. Berry Wins Run. Mitchell. —To win the annual cross-country race for the second consecutive year was the feat of Jack Berry of Mitchell, who crossed the line in 18 minutes, 42 3-5 seconds. The course is approximately 3.4 miles in length. Howard Mankey and George Porter took second and third. Eight runners left the stand. Following an inch of rain during the previous twenty-four hours the ground was very heavy. There was a good crowd of students present to watch the race. Only five of the eight athletes were present. finished. Gilbert Graham and Ward Ellis were the remaining two. Fourth and fifth, respectively. Clifford Knox, picked by many to win the contest after his showing last year, when he took second place, had the misfortune to lose a shoe and was forced to drop out. At about a half mile from the finish he was leading the race with Berry. Gold, silver and bronze medals were awarded to the three winners. Potter has won the bronze medal three years in succession. That the time made by Berry was only 7 3-5 seconds slower than his time of last year, when the course was in faster condition, is considered remarkable. He is expected to make a good showing in the later meets. May Be Wanted for Murder. Spearfish.—There is a possibility that a man wanted for a murder committed here twenty years ago may be brought back and tried. A letter received by Deputy Sheriff Knight from a man in Old Mexico indicates that Fred Higgins, the man suspected of the twenty-year-ago murder, is in Mexico. The county authorities now are considering the matter of having him brought back to South Dakota for trial. The victim of the murder so many years ago was Pearl Leopold, a Spearfish woman. In those days, criminals were not followed as closely as in these modern days, and following the death of the woman Higgins, then suspected of the crime, went out on the northern cattle ranges, where he remained a year or two without being molested by the officers. Then he disappeared, and nothing further had been heard of him until the receipt of the letter indicating that he was in Old Mexico. Saloons Face New Barrier. Turton.— Although Turton was the only town in Spink county that voted wet at the recent election, it by no means is certain that saloons will be permitted here after July 1. It has been four or five years since licensed saloons have been operated in Spink county, as the board of county commissioners refused to approve the bonds. There is a possibility that the present board will refuse to approve bonds for saloons in Turton, and if this is done Spink county will continue dry. Serious INDIAN WOMAN HONEST. Repays $10 Loan Obtained from Bank on Verbal Promise. Winner. —Emily Antelope, a Sioux Indian woman, living on the Rosebud Indian reservation some miles from Winner, has just given an object lesson in honesty. Several years ago the officers of the Bank of Winner loaned her $5 on her promise that when she leased a large area of reservation land which she owned, that she would repay the money. A year or so later the officers of the bank received another call from the Indian woman, who secured another loan of $5. She made the same promise to pay when she leased her land, there having been a delay in making the lease. The officers of the bank were about ready to charge up the $10 loan to profit and loss account. Last week they received from a Hammill bank a draft for the $10, with a letter explaining that the draft was sent at the request of the Indian woman to pay her debt. Schools Operating illegally. Ankton. —State Examiner E. I. Lampy, who has been going over the county officers’ accounts at the Yankton county courthouse, gives as his opinion that the Yankton city schools are being operated illegally since the institution of the commission form of government in the city. The board of education operated under a special charter and this was maintained after the city adopted the commission plan, although Mr. Lampy claims that with the change of the city government the schools of the city would operate under the same law as other schools of the state in cities under commission. The city recently voted a $100,000 bond issue for building a new school which is held to be legal, as it was placed under a vote of the people. Woman Views Assailant. Sioux Falls. — Identified in open court by his alleged victim, Mrs. Knute Hanson, Lewis Whitmarsh, a former convict in the Sioux Falls penitentiary, following his preliminary hearing before Judge Orr, of the municipal court, has been held for trial in the state circuit court on the charge of first degree criminal assault. Whitmarsh already has served one term in the Sioux Falls penitentiary for a similar offense, and one term for attempted assault on a woman. He was traced to Sioux City, arrested there Sunday and brought back to Sioux Falls. To default of $5,000 bonds, the defendant has been lodged in the county jail. Association of Descendants. Pierre. An association of descendants of revolutionary stock is under formation in this city, it having been found that there are a number of residents eligible to membership in such an organization. Among the list is several members of the supreme court. An aunt of Judge McCoy of the court is probably the only living daughter of the American revolution, having recently celebrated her ninety-sixth birthday, on which occasion she was visited by many revolutionary descendants in the state of Illinois. Her father, a soldier of the revolution, was sixty-eight years of age at the time of the birth of his daughter. Farmers' Organization. Whitewood. —Farmers of this section got together and organized the Farmers’ Creamery and Mercantile company, a cooperative organization which will engage in both the creamery and mercantile business here. It was capitalized for $25,000 and is expected to take over the local creamery and has already applied for a charter. H. T. Cooper and P. M. Bonnwell are the incorporators. Sunday Lid Is Lifted. Watertown. —Because of the popular demand for Sunday shows and Sunday sports in Watertown, the city commissioners at their meeting this week passed an ordinance repealing the former “Sunday ban” law, and from now on theaters and baseball games will be sanctioned in the city, restricted only by the state laws governing Sunday sports. Children Enter Gardening Contest. Aberdeen. —One hundred and thirty-five Aberdeen school children are contestants in the home garden contest conducted under the auspices of the city schools. In addition to the Home gardens, those children who wish to do so are given plots five by ten feet square on the school grounds, to plant gardens, for which prizes are also offered. Fails to Pay Support. Aberdeen. —Because he failed to keep his promise to contribute $5 a week to the support of his 8-year-old daughter, Frank Holdridge, has been sent to the county jail to serve a suspended sentence of one year upon conviction of contributory dependency. Liveryman Dead in Bed. Elk Point.—Sam H. Cook was found dead in bed in his livery stable Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Cook was an old resident here. He was born in New York state eighty-two years ago and came to Elk Point forty-four years ago. He operated a livery and sales stable here for many years. Aberdeen —Percy Rubare, who was shot on Sunday night by his young wife following a quarrel, has been released from the hospital, his injuries proving not as serious as was thought. OH!

WAS NOT A FLORAL TRIBUTE Mistake Made by Actress a Natural One, Though Certainly Somewhat Embarrassing. The curtain was rung up for the third time, and Margaret Blake stepped forward and responded to the prolonged acclamation of her admiring audience. She spoke with a graceful modesty that charmed, then gathered her floral tributes. Was it the intense excitement of the blinding array of footlights that dazzled and confused her? Quietly reposing on a lower box rail by the proscenium she saw a magnificent bunch of violets — her favorite flower — ostensibly placed there for her by a sweet-faced, dark-haired lady behind them. With applause still ringing in her ears, Miss Blake leaned forward and took the lovely bouquet, acknowledging the gift by a pretty bow. The sweet-faced, dark-haired lady reached after her with a strange and sudden haste. "Give me back my hat," she cried, hysterically. "The team is playing pretty good ball these days." "Yes, they’ve practically got over the effects of their spring training trip now." Matrimony may cure love’s blindness. IN A SHADOW Tea Drinker Feared Paralysis. Steady use of either tea or coffee often produces alarming symptoms, as the poison (caffeine) contained in these beverages acts with more potency in some persons than in others. “I was never a coffee drinker,” writes an ill woman, "but a tea drinker. I was very nervous, had frequent spells of sick headache and heart trouble, and was subject at times to severe attacks of bilious colic. “No end of sleepless nights—would have spells at night when my right side would get numb and tingle like a thousand needles were pricking my flesh. At times I could hardly put my tongue out of my mouth and my right eye and ear were affected. “The doctors told me to quit using tea, but I thought I could not live without it —that it was my only stay. I had been a tea drinker for twenty-five years; was under the doctor’s care for fifteen. “About six months ago, I finally quit tea and commenced to drink Postum. I have never had one spell of sick headaches since and only one light attack of bilious colic. Have quit having those numb spells at night, sleep well and my heart is getting stronger all the time.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs. Postum comes in two forms: Postum Cereal —the original form — must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages. Instant Postum—a soluble powder — dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water, and, with and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly, 30c and 50c tins.
