What might have been very dis
astrious fire broke out this morning
in the bell-tower of the school build
ing; but fortunately it was ex-
tipguished before any serious dam
age was done. For time it look
ed as though the whole building
would succum to the flames but by
the earnest endeavors Of a number
of citizens the fire was brought und-
err control and finally extinguished.
Appearance leads every one to the
belief that it was no accident but
the act of an incendiary and every
effort will be made to discover the
guilty party and bring him to justice.
1t could not have originated from
the stoves for no trace Of fire could
be detected in the main building
where the f1ues and chimneys are
located.

ditch. Those injured were Miss
Rhodes, Of Rock Valley, Iowa, who
was considerably injured in the arm
and shoulder. A young son of Bruce
Oliver, of Canton, was pinioned un-
der the car and it was by the great
est effort of the passengers and train
men that his life was saved. and az
ter he had been rescued from the
wreck it was thought that he was
dead, but fortunately he revived and
he will probably fully recover. Mr..
Gilman, Of Yankton, was badly cut
about the head by having it thrust
through window. A small child
only few weeks old was hurled
through window, but escaped un-
injured. The coach is almost a to-
tai wreck.

On Monday morning while the
north bound passenger train was
running twenty miles an hour, about
five miles south of Hawarden, it
struck broken rail and it was only
by good fortune that most serious
accident did not result. However,
while several persons were more or
less injured, no one was killed or re-
ceived, it is believed, fatal injuries.
AS nearly as we can learn, the cir
cumstances of the accident were
about as follows: The break in the
rail is supposed to have been caused
by the engine, as the first effect was
noticed when the baggage and smok-
ing car passed that point, by a sud-
den jerking and rocking of the car.
When the hind car struck the hrok-
en- rail the front trucks were iinme-
diatfly derailed, but seemed to the
passengers to gain its position al.

DIED,-Kitty Maude, daughter of
DIR. VIM. and Julia Comfy, died
suddenly on Saturday evening,
December l1th. She was three
years, ten months and seven days
of age.
Kittie was thoughtful and intelli-
gent for one of her age, with many
youthful endowments that not only
endeared her to her family, but to
the rector, the Sunday school, and
all that enjoyed her society. She
was conscious and intelligent amid
pain and distress to the last no.
ment. And just before her death
said to her mother, "Jesus can make
me WE'LL" showing her faith in the
Savior in the hour of death. She
soon passed to Him who said, "Suf-
fer little children to come unto me,
for of such is the kingdom of God"
Sad indeed would be our parting
Ii we hoped to meet no more;
But, although the tears are starting,
Look we to brighter shore.
Dark indeed would be the morrow.
!, When apart we sadly roam,
If beyond this world Of sorrow
We could see no happier home.
But we've heard joyful story
OF a land that's bright and fair,
And we hope to share its glory,
And to meet each other there.
