That the black rust, prevalent over

top of the ground. The little boy
quickly Ii to Mrs. Moe to tell her of
his sisters fall. and she FASTENED to
the rescue, hardly expecting to be
able to save the child. The little one
was on top of the water, probably be-
ing held up by the air under hel
clothing, and Mrs. Moe lowered the
bucket into the well, telling the
child to grasp hold of it. The little
one got hold of the bucket and rope
and succeeded in hanging on unit
Mrs. Moe had drawn her up to the top
1t was a remarkable feat for so youns
a child, under such trying circum
Stances. Except a bruise on her face
the little girl was uninjured.

Gus Grabo, who resides five miles
northeast of here, thrashed a few acres
of wheat Monday, and he says the
yield was ID bushels per acre. The
wheat had been slightly damaged by
the rust but was of fair quality.
Nearly all the grain is cut in this
vicinity, and most of the farmers are
now engaged in stacking. Only a few
of them say their grain has been
damaged to any extent by the black
rust, and they are nearly all confident
that their wheat will be of a superior
quality.
The creamery's receipts of milk have
fallen off considerably during the

busily engaged to bring in milk, but

Henry Gimple, who has been in the
hospital at Milwaukee for three or

recovered sufficiently to be able to
walk without the aid of crutches.
The workmen who are erecting the
farmers elevator, completed their work
Monday and departed that night for
some point in Minnesota. The eleva-

the elevator company, but they refused
to accept it owing to several defects in
the engine and engine house. The com
pany that had the contract for the erec-
ton of the elevator has sent out an ex-
pert that will set things to rights, and
the elevator will probably commence
bus mess the last of the week. With
exception of the engine and engine
house the e]e. ator is perfectly satisfac-
tory to the company.

Judge Bennett and Deputy Sheriff

Tuesday and took Mrs. Olaf Larson
and children to the city. Mrs. Lar
son, we understand, will be placed in
the poor house for the present at least
and the children committed to the
Children's Home at Sioux Falls.
The Larson case has caused our local
authorities no end of trouble. An at
tempt was made last spring to have
the chilren sent to the Children's
Home but it was given up upon the
promise that relatives would look af-
ter the family. Mrs. Larson in the
meantime had fallen to the wiles of a
human brute around town and the
relatives upon learning her condition
cast her adrift and would have moth
ing more to do with her. She re.
turned to South Shore and the local
authorities turned the case over to the
county. The county authorizes have
taken action in the matter and in all
likelihood South Shore is rid of the
unfortunate and deplorable case. The
mortgage on the property will be
foreclosed by the holder.

ONE LIFE LOST
IN PRAIRIE FIRE FIJI.
Settlers in the Mouse River Coun-
try Fight Desperately to
Save Effects. .
Special to The Journal.

Grand Forks. n. p, Nov. 24.-One Of
of the state swept over the country in
the vicinity of Sherwood, the new town
at the end of the Mohall extension, a
few days ago. The origin of the. fire
is unknown, but it came as far as from
the Mouse river, and some of the resi-
dents farther west insist that it actual
ly jumped the river. -
The fire started on the Canadian side
of the boundary and swept in south
before, it. Buildings and haystacks
were licked up. and the scene was a
weird and terrifying one. :. b.
Sherwood is the newest town in the
state, and no provision has been made
for fighting fire, but when the flames
were seen within a few miles Of the
town, The residents began to pillow fire
breaks as fast as men and teams could
do the work. Fortunately tee wind car.
ried the fire. little to the north, and
the danger was over.
The loss in the country was heavy. A
settler named Conkey lost all his hay
and in fighting the fire his two boys
were burned so badly that the eldest
Arthur, died as a result Of his injuries
and it was feared that the other would
not recover. Mr.. Conkey himself was
badly but not dangerously burned.
G. r. schlaberg lost his barn, granary
were about six hundred bushels Of
wheat, and 1000 bushels Of oats, anc
all this grain was lost.
There were, many other losses. A
change in the wind drove the fire bacl
| across the boundry to the northeast
and all night the glare of the recedins
flames could be seen. .-.-

The White House turkey weighs fully

finer specimen of meat. The turkey has
been fattened on chestnuts and extra
portions of grains.
The Thanksgiving dinner will be
spread as usual in the big private din

after Z o CLOCK. The president and Mrs.

their dinner a little short Of its usual

Over Rule to Bar Fresh
men Is Proposed.
BY o,LoughIln.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Nov. "a
|" Conference talk is buzzing here to-
day. The case Of Strathern will prob
ably cause more clear-cut ruling at
the Chicago meeting tomorrow as to
eligibility. While the four-year rule
will doubtless be retained, its pro-
visions. will be so clearly outlined as
to make future misapprehensions an
impossibility.
Some of the Big Nine authorities
have plan for eligibility which will,
it is said, be. opposed by Minnesota,
This rule, if adopted, would shut fresh
men out of football and track teams
It provides that before an athlete can
represent his university on first team
he must have been a bona fde student
for one year previous. Chicago and
Michigan are said to be backing this
rule. Minnesota and Wisconsin are ru
mored to be against it, Minnesota has
two freshmen on this year 8 football
team in Brush and Case, and Of the
substitutes Cutting, Ittner, Vita an6
Harmon are freshmen. If the lines are
too finely drawn on the small colleges
that "feed' Minnesota, it is easy tt
see where gopher athletics would suf
fer.
The Brush matter may he before the
conference, altho his standing is mo-
protested. The meeting, from all indi
cations, will be lively one.
