Close Call.

Webster had another escape Tuesday
might from what might have been q ser
iDrs coniagation, by GOODNESS and
prompt action Of "A. III. Kramer, who
happened along Just in time. The fire
was caused by q hook I'm Olson & Cor
Dclins' grocery giving war and dropping
u large Rochester lamp. The oil
spaashed all over the inside of the store
and Immediately igrited. The place
was u mass Of flames: when Mr..
Kramer, in the absense Of anything bet
ter, grabbed the blankets from of =
team, that was hitched in front of the
sfrre, and whipped ont the flames the
barring lamp was pitched into the
sfreet and Webster escaped another
severe scorching. The response Of the
frrnen to the alarm was prompt, hut
before they could reach the scene the
fire was extinguished. Very little dam
age was dime.
Right here we wish TO suggest that
IN 9 OF a nrs alarm the people who
tnrn ont can accomplish more by going
First to the fire hall and assisting in get
ing cut the apparatus insteed Of rushing
60 the scene OF the fire.
Another thing: When the electric
light plant is completed some arrange
Ene1it should be made, by storage battery
or otherwise, 30 that the business houses
could run q light all night for The bene-
iii of the night watchman and obyiate
She necessity Of burning an oil lamp in
ffse store; thus reducing the danger
frsm fire. Without the all-night ser
vice the electric light system viii not
give the satisfaction il should.

Off For Helena.

Governor HerTeid and Attorney Gen
eraI Pyle left Aberdeen this morning for
Helena 10 attend the meeting Of north
western governors that has been called
by Governor Van SAINT, Of Minnesota, 70
consider the dangers threatened by the
Northern Securities Company. II is
doubtful, however, If these representa-
tives Of South Dakota have a clear idea
Of what they are going for, aside from q
desire TO lend their -cOuntenance TO a
movement that has been inaugnrated 70
prevent the preparation Of an injustice
upon neighboring states.
The constitution Of South Dakota for
bids the consolidation of parallelor ON
peting lines of railroad, but the state is
not directly concerned in the proposed
consolidation Of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific, for the easo that
the latter hes no mileage an this state,
while the mileage Of the Great Northern
is inconsequential. III both roads
entered the state, then the state law
would apply, but when only "A comes
within local jurisdiction it is not plain
that the constitution Tan be construed
TO prevent that line from consolidating
with another line wholly without the
state.
1t is not plain, either, how any Of the
states, in the absence of federal law,
can prevent a foreign corporation like
the Northern Securities Company from
purchasing and holding the stock of
other corporations when ID was char
tered for that purpose. That the indi-
vidual states seem TO be important in
this matter is to be regretted, bat it is
probable that snch is the case.
Without doubt the people Of South
Dakota would not sanction the expendi-
ture of public money for legal proceed
ings against the roads under these con-
ditions. but by attending the meeting
the governor and attorney general will
no doubt pick up a fund of information,
and cheer those Immediately concerned
by their presence.
Another truth in connection with the
matter that the News has pointed out
before is that the reads in question are
and have been for some time "a
thoroughly consolidated as though they
Were under management in fact al
well al in practical effect. They have
established common rates and common
policies, and anything out of the ordi.
nary, anything not covered by the
regulations mutually adopted. is sub.
mitted TO one before being acted upor
by the other. AS the News has sait
before, this fight against the Northern
Securities Company is a fight against /
shadow. Consolidation. as far as the
interests Of the general public are con
cerned, has been in force for a Ions
time.
Nothing short of federal Legislation

THE CROPS AND CLIMATE
WEATHER REPORT SENT OUT BY
THE WEATHER Bureau.
Rain Has Helped the Crops, But Hayine
Is Progressing slowly on Account
Ofthe showers-Fruit Falling.

The following report for the West
Virginia section for the week ending
August 4 has been sent out by the eli
mate and crop department of theWeath-
er Bureau:
A light rain generally fell Tuesday !;
| light but scattered thundershowers al
so quite generally occurred on Thurs
day, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The sky was more or less overcast dur
| ing the week. but the sunshine has
been amply sufficient. The maximum
temperatures ranged from 10 to 80 de-
grees,, the highest being reached Sun
day There was slight range in the
minimum temperature, only from 50
to 10 degrees. The mean temperature
for the week averaged about degrees
per day above the normal, and the
rainfall has been slightly deficient
The dry weather was generally bro
ken during the week by frequent,
light showers, which were very bene-
fetal for crops, greatly reviving them,
but the showery weather was not so
favorable for harvesting. Oats are
mostly in shock with prospect of more
than average yield; corn has been
much improved by the rain, and the
prospect is for fair crop although
late. Haying is progressing rather
! slowly ON account of the showers, but
the yield, although light, is generally
better than expected; fall grass is
starting nicely; pastures are growing
well. and stock is in good condition /;
potatoes will be large crop, and dig
cling has commenced; millet is look
! ing we'll buckwheat is all Sown, and
mostly up; cabbages and gaden truck
are doing well some fall blowing is
being done Fruit continues to fall,
and the prospect is not promising
