D., May 15.—Alfred Thoreson, a prominent business map of Epping, Ward county, and well known throughout the northwestern section of North Dakota, shot and in- stantly killed his sweetheart, Amy Willard. Then Thoreson turned the weapon on himself and died almost in- stantly. Myjss Willard was seventeen years old and an exceedingly pretty girl, the belle of Epping. Thoreson was well- to-do and thirty-two years old. He had been infatuated with Miss Willard for some time and had paid her de voted attention. He met her and in- sisted that she marry him and she positively declined. ' Maddened with rage, Thoreson, who had evidently intended to end her life and his own, shot the girl dead and sent a bullet through his brain. DISARMAMENT QUESTION. Concerted European Action to Preju- dice the Cause. Washington, May 15—The impres- sion prevails here that a concerted effort is being made by some of the European sgovernments to prejudice the cause of international disarma- ment by forcing a disclosure of the instructions which have been given to the delegates to The Hague confer- ence on this important subject. It is felt here that a discussion of the Hm- itatfon of armaments proposition should be left for the conference it- self. To attempt now to make long argnments in advance of the meeting of the conference would prevent a proper consideration of the proposition by that body. PURIFIES s. S. S.THE BLOOD As every part of the body is dependent en the blood for nourishment and strength, it is necessary that this vital fluid be kept free from germs, impirities and poisons. As long as it remains uncontaminated we are for- tified against disease and health is assured ; but any humor or impurity acts injuriously on the system and affects the general health, or culminates in gome special blood disease. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections show that the blood is in afeverish and diseased condition as a result of too much aci humor, d, or the presence of some irritating Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, ete., are all deep-seated blood diseases that continue to grow worse as long as the impurity or poison remains in the circulation, Some persons are born with an hereditary taint in the blood and we see the. effect manifested in various ways. The skin has a pallid, waxy appearance, the eyes are weak, glands in the neck often enlarged and usually the body is not fully developed or strong, because it has always been fed on weak, impure blood. troubles S. S. S. has proved itself a perfect remedy. In all blood It goes down into the circulation and removes all poisons, humors, waste or foreign matter, and makes this stream of life pure and health-sustaining.

High Scaffolding Gives Way. Detroit, Mich., May 15.—One man was killed, two were seriously injured and a third had a remarkably narrow escape from death when a scaffolding on which three cornicemen were work- ing at the eighth floor of the new Owen building, corner Lafayette boule- vard and Wayne street, gave way.

The armor of the knights of the mid- dle ages is too small for their modern descendants. Hamilton Smith records that two Englishmen of average di- menslons found no suit large enough to fit either of them In the great col- lection of Bir Samuel Meyrick. The head of the oriental saber will not ad- mit the English hand nor the bracelet of the Kaffir warrior the English arm. The -swords found in Roman tumuli have handles inconveniently small, and the great mediaeval two handed sword s now supposed to have been used only for one or two blows at the first onset and then exchanged for a small- er one. The statements made by Ho- mer, Aristotle and Vitruvius represent six feet as a high standard for full grown men, and the Irrefrtable evi- dence of the ancient doorways, bed- steads and tombs proves the average size of the race certainly not to have diminished in modern days.—London Hospital. Great Musi Eccentricities. < Dolls were the idols, after his be- loved Instruments, of Domenico Dra- gonetti, the king of the double bass. He had a huge collectlon of these pup- pets dressed in various national cos- tumes, and wherever Dragonett! went the dolls were sure to go. That was only one of this eccentric genlus’ pecul- larities. He would never play unless his dog were in the orchestra, and no- body would have got a note out of him unless he had been permitted to slt In the orchestra next to the stage door. This was a precaution to enable him to save his wonderful instrument In case of fire. The instrument itself he brought from the monastery of St. Pletro when on a visit to Vincenza, and when he died he bequeathed it to St. Mark's, Venice, to be used at solemn services.—London Standard. A Queer- Coincidence. i While a serial story was running in a certain magazine a lady in Johannes- bux;g wrote to the publisher asking whether Christlan Lys (the author’s nom de plume) was assumed or not. She herself was a Mrs. Lys, who was trying to trace an ancestor of her late husband, who was a descendant of Joan of Arc. Mr. Brebner, the author in question, wrote assuring her that his pen name was a family one, his forbears having come from Aberdeen. Strangely enough, it came out that her family came also from Aberdeen and thelr name was Brebner.—Pall Mall - Gazelte. DRINK PLENTY OF 600D PURE WATER Nature’s GreatRemedy for Rheumatism, " the Kidneys and Bladder Also Sim- ple House Prescription. ““The people Bere do not drink enough water to keep healthy,” exclaimed a well-known author- ity. “The numerous cases of stomach trouble, kidney and bladder diseases and rheumatism are mainly due to the fact that the drinking of water, nature’s greatest medicine has been neg-| lected. ke Stop loading your system with patent medicines and. cure-alls; but get on the water wagon. If you are really sick, why take the proper medicine—plain common vegetable treatment, which will not shatter the nerves or ruin the stomach.” i ‘When requested for such a.! prescription for the cure of rheu-| matism and kidney trouble, the answer was: ‘“You make the kidneys do their work; they a‘reg the filters of the blood. They must be made to strain out of the blood the waste matter and acids that cause rheumatism; the urine must be neutralized so it will no longer be a source of irritation to the bladder, and most of all, you must keep these acids from form- ing in the stomach. This is the cause of stomach trouble amd poor digestion. For these con- ditions I would suggest the fol- lowing prescription, which is composed of only vegetable in- gredients, which can be obtained from any good prescription phar- macy. Anyone can mix them by shaking well in a—bottle, Fluid Extract Dandelion, one- half ounce; Compound Kargon one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces, To be taken in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime, but don’t forget the water. Drink plenty and often.” This valuable information and simple prescription should be posted up in each household and used at the first sign of an attack of rheumatism, backache or urinary trouble, no matter how slight. _— Hopi Indian Traditions. The Hopi Indlans of Arizona have no written literature, but an almost boundless store of oral traditions, which are handed down unimpaired to each generation in turn and which form the guiding principle of their re- ligious bellef and of their whole life, says the Craftsman. Every clan, and there are a number of family clang making- up . the various Hopi towns, has its own kiva, or underground cere- monial chamber, entered by a ladder through a square opening in the roof, which is but a foot or two above the gentral level of the ground: Here the education of the hoys is carried on, be- ginning at the age of seven or eight years. They are instructed day by day in the literature, history and myths of the tribes, the priests being the teachers. Without writing and ‘without books the Hopl have an ex- tensive literature, and that the utmost accuracy Is observed in its oral trans- mission from generation to generation is revealed Dby certain comparisons with the records made by the Spanish explorers in the sizteenth century, Long Sieges In Congress. Samuel J. Randall of 'Pennsylvania was ain avowed protectionist Democrat and a man who, his colleagues had learned, usually was able to get his way. / Randall had first entered con- gress in 1862. He was a quiet, per- sistent,* hardworking person who at- tracted little attention for several years. Then the Republicans, sure of | their majority and wishing to expedite business, undertook to adopt rules ‘which would prevent obstruction. The quiet Mr. Randall set himself against the attempt. He led the small Demo- cratic majority with a skill so unusual | that more than once he blocked the Republicans’ way until it was too late | to pass the measure. His endurance seemed unlimited. From one session lasting forty-six hours and twenty-five minutes, where Randall had forced the roll to be called seventy-five times, he came out as fresh as he went in. At another time in the fight over the force bill he was on the floor for sev- enty-two consecutive hours. —Ida M. ‘Tarbell in American Magazine. How Piutes Catch Quail. The Piutes have a unique way of getting quail. For them there is no closed season or, indeed, any game law whatever. Seasons when the quail come down from the mountains to the spring the Indians make great prepa- ration for their capture. They build a bough house with a long slender opening in the front formed of tall straight sticks set closely together. ‘Within the house an Indian sits_con- cealed, holding a long limber Yod, ‘which he operates dexterously through the narrow opening. In the earlv' morning when the birds flock down for water he picks them off one at a time, killing them instantly, There is no re- port In this manner of hunting to frighten the others away, and the Indi- an often gets enough game in a single morning for the whole settlement.— Los Angeles Times. £ Went to Bed For Dinner. An amusing incident is told of the absentmindedness of the late Justice Wifllam G. Keogh of Ireland. It was at a bar dinner at his own house, and he had excused himself from the guests, who had already assembled, to go up stalrs to dress. Time went by, but he did not reappear. The company sat patlently for some time till at length, when their appetites were get- ting the better of their manmners and they were about to-send a messenger In quest of their absent host, he ap- peared and explained with many apolo- gles that imagining that he was retir- ing for the night he had undressed and got into bed. After an hour’s sleep he awoke, and it suddenly dawned on him that his guests were waiting to dine with him below. Pilgrims and Puritans. The pilgrims, or, as they are often called, the ‘“pilgrim fathers,” were thehfeventy-four men and the twenty- elght women, members of the John Robinson’s church, who sailed in the Mayflower from Leyden to North America and landed at Plymouth Rock, ‘where they founded a colony Dec. 25, 1620. The Puritans were the English nonconformists who came over later, the name being given to them on ac- count of their supposed great purity of doctrine, life and discipline—New York American. 3 Cochineal. Cochineal, so much used for coloring table jellies ‘and also given to infants as a domestic remedy for whooping cough, Is the whole insect of a class called coccus, but only the females are used. Why? Because the insects are captured by suffocating them with the smoke of fires below the trees on which they live, and as the males have wings, while the females have none, the gen- tlemen take to flight when the atmos- phere becomes unpleasantly warm, leaving their ladies to their fate. Warnings. Mrs. Stubb—I unotice so many mar- ried men save the receipted milliner bills. What use do they make of ‘them? Mr. Stubb—Charity. Mrs. Stubb—Char- 1ty? Mr. -Stubb—Yes; they are sent around to the bachelor clubs to warn any reckless member who might be thinking about plunging into the sea of matrimony.—Chicago News. Her Postscript, “Why does a woman always add a postscript to her letter?” “Well,” answered the ungallant wretch, “she probably figures out In her own mind what her letter has made you think and then tries to have the last word.” [Daily Pioneer That the Pioneer Gets and Prints the News Is Appre- reciated Outside of Bemidji.
