The Parents Were at Church Only
One Hundred Feet Away.

OTTUMwA, Ia, March 25.-Fivc chill
dren of Mr.. and Mrs Frank Pcnrod, at

er, and went to a religious meeting,
having first put the other five children
to bed. The school house where
the services were held were only
hundred feet away from the
Penrod house. About . o'clock
an alarm of fire was given
and Penrod, with the other occupants
Of the schoolhouse, rushed out to find
his house in flames. Pcnrod succeeded
in pulling two of the boys out, hor-
ribly burning himself in the act. The
two never regained consciousness,
however.

the house. The coroner's inquest threw
no light on the origin of the fire.

Decision.
CHICAGO, March 25.-All railroad
traffic organizations in this city re-
Trained from transacting any business

regulation of rates or division of bust
ness. Although the executive officers
and clerical force at the various head
quarters remained at their desks only
routine business and that which does
not come within the ban of the SUI
preme courts decision was attended
to. Practically all the associations
are in a state of suspended animation,
looking over the ground and waiting
to find out where they stand" as
Chairman Caldwell, of the Western
Passenger association, expressed it.
The Chicago, Burlington &c Quincy
railroad gave sweeping notice of
withdrawal Wednesday from member
ship in every freight and passenger
traffic association. The general coun-

other roads. The notice includes the

sane. His mania is of religious ma
ture and he imagines the millennium

physical force was necessary to keep
him from going to the revival meet
ings now being held there. He was
taken to the lookup and watchers
were kept with him to prevent doing
injury. He will doubtless be taken
to Jamestown. Geo. A. McCrea, of
Drayton, was in the city yesterday,
to state the case to the board of insan-
ity. A large number of people in this

Simplicity Brings Life's Best Pleasures.

8 For poor and rich alike the high.
est pleasure and utility in life will
come from simplifying it, writes
'Droch" Of Vacation Meanderings"
in the August Ladies Home Journal.
"The contentment that can only Is
had from nerves that are not over.
strained is to be found by reducing
your daily life to it's simple st terms.
This applies with equal force to the
5hard-Working man or woman with
small income, or to the rich who are
numbered with many cares. Poverty
has been made just as complex as
riches by the many things that i'll
advised teachers have taught poverty
to expect that it ought to accomplish.
What both must learn, for the best
results in their own lives, is not how
little can be had for a great deal of
money, but how much Of real and
permanent value can be secured for
little money. That is the highest
economy and it cannot be taught-it
must be learned by. experience, and
you cannot begin 1t at a better time
than when seeking vacation.''

REPORTS of fabulously rich discov-
cries of gold in Alaska have created
considerable excitement throughout
the length and breadth of
the land and thousands J. of gold
hunters and Adventures are leaving
for the new Eldorado in the hope of
becoming suddenly rich. The region
where these abundant auriferous de-
posts are said to abound, is quite in
accessible, requiring months to reach,
and possesses a winter climate SO rig
orous that it is with difficulty that
human beings can exist there, yet the
hope of acquiring sudden wealth is
SO great fascination to many people
that they will endure untold hard
ships and privation and risk their
very lives in the undertaking. Even
if the stories of the gold in the Yukon
country were true, yet the large ma
jority of those who go there will find
only disappointment, and many a
miner will bury his hopes together
with his bones by the Clondyke. It
is strange that people will go to so
much trouble in the pursuit of some
thing SO uncertain, when the object
OF their zeal can be attained nearer
home with less than half the effort.
No gold mining region ever discov-
cred has paid it's workers like the Red
River valley in Minnesota. Its fields
Of golden grain are an exhaustless
gold mine. The Alaskan gold mine
will yield only one crop, and when
that is gathered the value Of the land
is gone, but here in the Red River
valley each succeeding year brings
forth a new crop Of gold, perhaps
larger than the year before. To be
sure those who pursue gold mining
in the Red River valley may not get
rich SO fast as few of those who seek
for gold of the Alaskan variety, but
the effort is much more sure Of sue
cess. Those who in an intelligent
and careful manner dig for Red River
valley gold are not doomed to disap-
pointment. Our gold also will nour-
ish the digger while engaged in the
work and strengthen and stimulate
him to greater exertion. His supplies
are always on hand. Surely. no one
will wish to leave a safe and sure!
