MAN BURNED TO DEATH.
Shocking rate of Poor Laborer In His
Own Home

SIsTERsvlLLE, VIVA, Jan. 24.-W.
M. Williams, day laborer, was
burned to death in a fire which con
sumed his home on Cemetery pike.
one-tourth mile East of here There
were no witnesses to the fatality but
the cause for its occurrence can be
reasonably presumed from the cir
cumstances which preceded it.
Williams was in the city drinking
heavily and the presumption is that
upon his arrival home he fell upon
the stove after turning the gas on
strong and was unable to help him
self. This thery is borne out by
the condition of the charred remains
and their proximity to the stove.
When found all that remained of
the body was the smouldering trunk.
The shocking death is made even
mere distressing through it's effects
to the numerous members of the be.
reaved family, which is left without
means. There are 10 children, one
an infant, four attending the public
schools and five living out of town.
None of these children were as home
when their father went to his death
and the widow, with her baby, was
at work at house in this city. The
case appeals strongly to the sympa
thies of the community, and this
feeling is being given a substantial
expression in financial way.

Peaceful Valley.

The theatre goer of the present day
is given SO many plays from which to
select his theatric diet that be is apt
to become hypercritical in his tastes,
and the best evidence that play is
good and fulfills its mission as an
entertainer is its record Of life. for a
good play will go on from season to
season while those that fail to please
are relegated TO oblivion. Peaceful
Valley judged from this standpoint
must be successful play, for it has
been before the pubic number of
SEASONS aud is still ap attraction
sought after by the managers of
theatres who desire plays that will
show their merit in box Office returns.

from a discriminating pubic, but the
staging of it as done by Mr.. Bass is
worthy OF notice, as is also his sup.

will be most effective one headed by

Finest Concert ever Heard in Nor
gantOwn-The Numbers and Those
who Participated In the Entertain
ment.
The Winter Quarter Faculty Re-
cital was held Thursday night in
Commencement Hall before large
audience. Judging from the com,
pllmentary remarks TO be heard on
all sides, the recital gave great
pleasure. Taken as whole, it was
one OF the best concerts ever heard
in Commencement Hall. Each mum
Der on the program, a classic, was
rendered in such manner as to
show that the performers are gen
uine artists. Nine numbers com
posed the program, which was even
lyf excellent and happily varied.
Mrs. Snee's organ numbers were
very much enjoyed With the "Pas
toral in g. Flagler. allegro by
Rink and sBerceuse" by Guilmant,
she had an excellent opportunity, in
the variety OF kind of selection to
show her invention in registration.
And this she did. The "Allegro"
was liked especially, because the
full grand tones of the organ were
heard.
Miss Clark was very happy in Sc
lections, Spring by Tosti and
"Carmens', by Wilson, and sang
them with action that was perfectly
delightful. Too often the concert
singer does not realize that the
words should influence his feelings
Miss Clark is not of this class She
thinks her words as she sings, enun-
ciates, too, very distinctly which is
another charm in Der work, and al
lows facial expression and tone color
to help out her rendering.
The spirit of Spring breathed
through her first selection in spite of
the Winter night and snow which
we knew were outside.
Miss Clark responded to an encore.
Mr.. Spence made an emphatic hit.
His playing is full of feeling, and this
feeling so well brought out, charmed
his hearers last night, The Prelude
and Furiant from Suioe for Piano and
Violin by 9. Zeckwehr, with Miss
McMurphy at the piano, was excel
lently done. The Furiant was eSpee-
tally well executed. Miss McMur-
phys accompaniment for this selee-
ton must not be overlooked. So we'll
did pianist and vi0linist work up to
the quick tempo of the grand climax
that the audience was breathless
when 1t was over. The End Polonaise
in A major by III. Wleniawski showed
again the fine feeling Mr.. Spence pos
sesses and also the wonderful tech
nique Of which he is master. Miss
Houston played Sonata OPP. 81. No. 3,
first movement, Beethoven, in very
acceptable manner. 1t is always a
delight to hear Miss Houston; her
expression is always true and delicate.
Last night she played the difficult
Beethoven selection with all the grace
and art that has characterized her
earlier work
Miss McMurphy never played better
in her life. The climax to the Span
ish Caprice OPP. 81 Moszkowski was
executed with dash and spirit that
caught the audience and held them
spell-bound. The audience applauded
loudly but Miss McMurphy refused to
accept the encore.
The concert reflects great credit on
Miss McMurphy under whose direc-
tion the School of Music is Icing run.
The concert last night speaks for good
taste on not only the directors part,
but on the part of all the performers
The School of Music was never
stronger than it is at the present
time.

The Wheat Situation

In 1890 Mulhall, the great English Stats
tician, stated that in IS years all the wheat
producing land of the world would be under
cultivation and that in fifty years from the time
he wrote the earth would no longer produce
enough Of the cereal to feed the wheat-eating
populations that in consequence the price of
bread would so increase that the poor man
would have to live some other product He
forecasts the time when our own great North.
west will no longer be the granary of the world,
when the glory of the Red River country shall
have vanished as a wheat-producing country
and the Canadian Northwest with Siberia will
have taken it's place. AS far as the first part
of his statement is concerned we have no means
of being able to Judge as to its exact truth, but
the increase in the price of wheat lands and
the constantly increasing demand for them ind-
Gates that people believe as he wrote Those
who have studied the situation admit that the
part of his article which says that the Canadian
Northwest will surpass all other fields in the
growing of wheat is true The magnificent
crops of grain which Manitoba and Assiniboia
have produced in the last decade have been the
wonder of the wheat world and were so great
that it has taxed to the utmost capacity of the
manufacturer to provide machinery for the
reaping and threshing Of it, and of the rail-
roads to provide cars to haul it away.

There are number of stations on the lines of

They will probably average about ten QO)

The climate of this section of the country
is very similar to the climate of either North
or South Dakota, excepting that this region
is free from that bane of the farmer, the hot
wind. That destructive blast which sweeps
across the country to the south loses its force
before reaching this locality and here only
helps to ripen the growing grain. The long
days of summer and the great number of
hours of sunshine insure the ripening of the
crop before the frost can touch it. Seeding
usually begins about the first of April and
harvest about the 10th of August. The eli
mate IN summer is delightful and in winter is
not severe that of the country further
east in the Red River Valley. The rainfall is
ample to insure crop and in all the years in
which this country has been cultivated crop
failure has been unknown.

The Crop Situation
OF ASSINTBOIA

The wheat crop of Assiniboia last season,
1901, averaged twenty-six and ninety hun
dredths $500 bushels per acre. Minnesotas
crop averaged about thirteen Q3 bushels per
acre. North Dakota about eleven Q1) bush
els per acre and South Dakota nine (9) bushels
per acre. For period of fifteen years the crops
of Assiniboia have averaged twenty-four ga
bushels per acre. The Spring wheat States of
this country have not during the same period
averaged more than one-half of that amount.
What we here consider a good average crop is
there regarded as a failure. Other grains pro-
duce in about like proportion. A crop of
sixty bushels of oats per acre is only considered
fair crop, while ninety btu shells per acre is not
unusual. Barley will average at least forty
bushels per acre and fax IN the limited area in
which it has been cultivated has done proper
tionately well. Tame grass has not been cuti-
waited to any great extent as there has been
thousands of tons Of prairie hay which the set
tiers could have without cost or price.
Timothy where it has been tried has done we'll,
but no other tame grasses have been seeded to
our knowledge. Potatoes and all sorts Of roots

Dispatches from Salida, Col, say that

was held up and robbed by several men
yesterday morning at Chester, Col, $50
miles west of Denver.
The engineer was compelled, at the
point of a revolver, to stop the train by
masked men, who climbed over the ten
der.
Two safes In the express car were
blown open. but 1t is claimed by the off,

any plunder from the safes. The passen-
gers were compelled to alight from the
cars and line up alongside the track in
the canyon and they We're relieved of
their money and valuables.
Many OF the passengers threw away
their money watches and jewels before
the robbers searched them. There were
many tourists among the passengers and
II is presumed that the losses were heavy.
The scene of the robbery is In a wild,
mountainous country at the foot of Mar
