The old lady, who has been very active
and Keen, was busy yesterday preparing
; 10 go away with some friends this morn
ing, and retired about the usual hour.
Mr.. Barber arose at 1880 o'clock today
and came down stairs for his breakfast.
He was unable TO get into the kitchen
and as his repeated knocks upon the door
failed TO arouse his sister, he became
alarmed and ran over 20 the fire station
for assistance.
Walter Brown, a member of the fire de-
partment responded and procuring a
ladder. placed Il against the side of the
house and just under the window OF
Mrs. Reeds bedroom.
Ascending TO the window he smashed
In a pane OF glass and raised the sash.
As he did so a strong odor OF illuminat-
Ing gas was detected.
Springing into the room Mr.. Brown
made his way TO the kitchen and front
hall doors, which he unlocked.

been alarmed thereby, responded to Mr..
Browns summons.
Mrs. Reed was In bed. undressed and
unconscious. From jet near the bed.
small quantity OF gas had escaped dur
ing the night.
The cock was turned on Just a trife;
but the escape had been sufficient TO poi
SON the old lady and TO threaten her
death.
DR.. Frank Z. Burdick, who was called
In declared that not until well into the
afternoon could he say whether the old
lady would live.
There was everything to point toward
the accidental turning on OF the gas. In
the first place every door I'm the tenement

III suicide had been intended Mrs. Reed
would have closed her bed room door
Again, the gas cock was almost shut
on. If death had been sought for, the
cock could have been turned wide open

HURON'S FAIR IS
!. A GREAT SUCCESS.

Many Entries. e ~
ARM FINE,

Huron, S.. D, Sept. 1S.-The Central
South Dakota fair opened on the asso-
ciation's grounds adjoining this city
Tuesday morning, under very favorable.
conditions. Exhibits in every depart
ment are greater than anticipated, and
it was found necessary to put q large
gang of men at work building additions
to structures already completed. The.
agricultural display exceeds in quanti-
ty n quality anything ever before
shown in this section, and the regret.
Is that more space could not be pro-,
vided for this department, which is said.
to be more varied and finer than the
display at the state fair at Yankton.
The floral exhibit, n exhibits in the,
Woman's and domestic departments.
canno be described; While in some Of.
the departments matters are somewhat
in a chaotic condition, scores Of help
ers are busy putting articles into place:
and arranging exhibits in an attrac--
tive name The displays in these de-
partments are especially attractive, and.
are a matter of surprise to visitors. :
Liv stock exhibits are greater than
anticipated, especially of horses and.
cattle. Some Of the cattle are far SUI.
perior to hat seen in older states and.
indicate a progressive interest in cat
tie raising in South Dakota. There are
a large lumber Of sheep and swine,.
mostly the product Of this immediate;
vicinity.
The display of fruits is. surprisingly,
large and shows thai apples, plums,
grapes and various small fruits can be,
successfully grown in this locality.
Each days program is sufficiently in,
teresting to attract large crowds, and,
with pleasant weather the fair CAM
scarcely be less than a grand success.

Huron, S. D., Sept. 19.-Large addl>

prietor Of the Tepeeotah ranch, north
of this city, brought in a fine herd Of
Herefords-all white face.
In the agricultural departments
large collections from Hughes II
Faux counties were put in place.
These are among the best on the
grounds and attract much attention.
Additions were made to the depart
ment of fine arts and women's depart
ment, some of the fruits and canned
goods being especially fine.
An exciting feature of the day were
the races. In the contest for a purse Of
s25O, trot, Silverplate, owned by c.. P.
Gould Of Estelline, won first n
Prosperity, owned by Jackson of Rock
Rapids, Ia, took the $3.50 purse In the

MILWAUKEE EXTENSION,
Will Reach iceland by the End of the
Week.

Aberdeen, S. D., Sept. 1s.-The Mil
waukee extension to Linton Is prom
lsed to reach Iceland, the second sta
ton from Eureka, by the end of the
present week. The track layers or,
Monday asked for a raise Of pay and
the railroad company advanced them
20 cents, making 80 a day for laborers
and s2.25 for spike drivers and other
in grading to fill, and Division SUPER
lntendent Scott says there is plenty to
10 in the different branches of work
on the extension for $50 more men.
Laborers re being sent out from Chi
cago and the Twin Cities every day,
but only a few get this far. most of
them being induced to stop off at vari-
U points en- route to work.
The growth Of the live stock indus
try hereabouts is well shown by the
fact that the Milwaukee's shipments
from local points through Aberdeen in
n We're 116 carloads. These were
al shipped from towns near here and
were in addition to the shipments Of
range cattle.
