Burned Burned to Death.

Sioux City, Jan. 29.-The two-months
old baby daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Schlottmann, who live near
Jefferson, S. D., few miles from
Sioux City, was burned to death while
sleeping in it's crib. The father and
mother had gone to the barn to water
a horse. On the table at the side of
the crib stood a lighted lamp. The cat
was playing with ball of yarn near
by. It is supposed that the cat pulled
the tablecloth or brushed against the
lamp. The lamp was knocked over on
the sleeping babe. The flames at
tracted the father and mother to the
house. Schlottmann rushed in and
gathered the burning baby in his
arms and ran with her to tub of
water where he extinguished the
flames. He was badly burned. The
baby died shortly afterwards. The
house was burned to the ground.

ottumwa Delegates to National D. A
r., Meeting Haven't Decided.

There is much talk at present in
Daughters of the American Reyolu-
ton circles regarding the national
meeting to be held in Washington, D.
c., February 2022 and everywhere the
ladies are discussing their choice for
president of the society. The New
Jersey members are sending broadcast
circulars calling attention to the good
qualities of Mrs. Washington Angus,
tus Roebling, who is candidate for
the presidency. Mrs. Roebling has
served as vice president of the D. A.
r. and She is said to be very popular
member of the organization.
The delegates from the Ottumwa
branch of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution will leave for Wash
ington about February Is. They are
Mrs. T. J. Devin, Mrs. A. G. Harrow
and Mrs. j. D. Ferree. 1t is under
stood that these ladies have not for
mulated a choice as to presidential
candidate, and also that so far as
they know no candidate has been de-
cided upon by the Iowa society mem
hers. Mrs. Roebling has many friends
among the Ottumwa members.

Have Constructed Telephone Lines
and Won't Sell Out.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The farmers
of Washington and Mahaska counties,
who have constructed about 100 miles
of rural telephone lines at a cost Of
$4,000 and connect more than 200
farmhouses, have unceremoniously re-
jected an offer from the Peoples Tele-
phone company to take over their
lines and connect them with the ex-
changes in Keota and other towns.
These farmers now have seven lines
centering in South English and are
given free communication with Web
ster, Keswick, White Pigeon, North
English. Green Valley, Kinross, Mira,
Wellman and Harper, and they pro-
pose extending their rural lines on to
Iowa City, Sigourney and What Cheer.
These groups of rural telephone lines
are now quite common in Iowa and eff
forts are being made in all parts of
the state to bring them under control
of tie organized companies in towns
and cities.

Sioux City, Jan. 20 Trainmen and

the way to Pierre, the state capital,

thistles. The thistles collect in the
cuts and form an interviewer mass

get thru is for the crew to go ahead

it was hard for her to keep on with
her studies at school. She was only

CRAZY ON RELIGION.
Stores, Schools and Homes Closed
During Tremendous Revival.

Hiawatha, Kan, Jan 3O.-The mer-
chants, saloonmen, and all in the
staid, poetical, old town of Hiawatha
have gone crazy on the subject of re-
ligion. There are thirteen churches
in the city and REVEALS are being held
in ten of them. Stores are closed on
alternate afternoons that proprietors
and clerks may attend. r. M. Will
liams, southerner, came to town two
weeks ago and started a revival. Now
he cannot stop it. Everybody but the
Catholics and Episcopalians are in it.
