Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 13.--After a
desperate battle. Selma and Selmer OIL
son, a girl and boy who reside with
their parents on farm near Sioux
Falls, succeeded in killing a monster
eagle.
The boy and girl, who are about IA
and 1d years of age. were herding cat
tie near their home when they discov-
cred the eagle. Both children We're
armed. the boy with a shotgun and
the girl with a small rifle, and a small
black dog was with them.
The dog was some little distance
away when they noticed large bird
flying over their heads. They did not
know what sort of bird it was until
it approached the ground and attacked
was a mammoth eagle.
The boy and girl promptly went to
the assistance of the dog and shot at
the eagle number of times before
one of the charges took effect, breaking
the eagles wing. The bird fell to the
ground and when they approached it
put up desperate fight. 1t was some
time before the boy and girl could
master it. They did not wish to shoot
the eagle again, so attempted to kill
it by using their weapons as clubs.
The eagle was finally killed by lucky
blow on the head.
Upon being measured it was found
to be seven feet from tip TO tip of
its wings, making it one of the largest
eagles ever killed in this part of tho

A College Girl Dug Into an Old Moune
and Found Grave.
Des Moines, Ia, Oct. 12.-Sacificing the
fishing excursions and sailing parties at
her summer outing place to take a spade
and pick and dig into an old mound off
Gilley's beach at Lake Okoboji the latter
part of this summer Miss Maud Striker
of this city has gained the credit of un-
earthng the resting place of the famous
Chief Okoboji.
Miss Striker is student at Drake uni
versty here. In the face of taunts from
friends she dug persistently into the old
Ocheyedan mound at the lake. The time
for school came and she was forced to
give up her mine before she had discov-
cred anything, but she did not leave until
she had commissioned brother, S. S.
Striker and +. S. Pearson to continue her
work. They had scarcely dug a foot be-
fore they uncovered the skull and cross
bones of an Indian. Around the remains
as the spokes of a wagon We're bones of
others. There were number of toma-
hawks, arrow heads, copper ornaments, a
moccasin and portion of knife.
The find IS an important one, as it ex-
plodes the theory of many who have held
indians never occupied the Lake territory.

RELIGION is DECA0ENT
Archbishop of Canterbury Delivers Hi.
Promised Message to Americans
at Episcopal Assembly,,

Boston, Oct. S.-When the house OF
deputies of the Episcopal church as
sembled today there was large at.
tendance of visitors in anticipation oi
the presence of the archbishop of Can.
terbury who yesterday announced hl
would deliver a message to the Ameri.
can church. The triennial conference
Of the woman's auxiliary to the board
of missions formally opened today and
was largely attended. The house OF
bishops continued it's sessions behind
closed doors.
The archbishop dwelt at length upon
the necessity for safeguarding the peo.
pie of America and England against
the grave peril OF the already certain
decadence of definite religion in the
ordinary home. Continuing, he said:
People speak sometimes of the 'ties
and links" which unite our church In
England with yours in the United
States. But are the words appropriated
We are learning, l hope, to regard the
relationship In all essential things as
one of identity rather than affiliated
and fraternal. If my presence in yo I
convention be permitted in the provi-
dence of God to promote in any degree
the efficiency of our church's life as
banded force for the bettering of what
is amiss in public or in private things.
for the ceaseless fight against impurity,
selfishness, greed ignorance. apathy,
cowardce and half-heartedness, i shall
rejoice indeed. !"

THREE MONTHS TRANCE
Woman in New York Passes Away At.
ter Remarkable Period of
Livina Death.


New York, Oct. 13.-After lying helpless
and almost completely paralyzed and un-
conscious for forty-fivc days, Miss Eliza
beth NJ. Bath, an accomplished musician,
society belle and member of the choir OF
the Church of the Sacred Heart of Mount
Vernon. died yesterday.
For weeks DIR. Kelly and other physi-
clans have been puzzled over Miss Baths
condition. and heroic but vain measures
We're taken to save her life.
On July Miss Bath, who was % years
of age and the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Bath, was visiting her aunt, Miss
b. K. Donahue, of Manhattan.
While laughing heartily over joyful
incident she was relating she suddenly fell
to the floor in swoon. She became un-
conscious, and though four experts We're
called in, she remained in that state for
thirty days. She was finally taken to her
Mount Vernon home, and for time she
was conscious, but again lapsed into a
comatose state. Several times it was
thought she was dead.
DR.. Kelly, who attended her. said Miss
Bath was suffering from cerebral hemor-
rhage, brought on by her sudden laughter,
and that blood clot had formed on the
brain, paralyzing the nerve centers.
When she finally became conscious al
most her entire body was paralyzed. and
she was helpless. A short time before
she died she told her relatives that she
suffered no pain.
She showed remarkable vitality, but the
physicians truly prophesied that the blood
clot would finally kill her. For days she
was fed through tube

NAY CONE TO AMERICA
But President Will Not Invite Nations
to Peace Congress Till the War
Ic Huan

Washington, Oct 1.-THE president has
decided. on the advice of Secretary Hay.
to take no actiSts toward calling a second
conference of The Hague peace congress
until after the close of the war between
Russia and Japan. When it finally IS
called 1t is not impossible that it will be
held in Washington instead of at The
Hague.
The president promised the delegates to
the interparliamentary union that he
would issue the invitations for the con-
gress "at an early date but he has
since concluded that the present is not
an opportune time for a second step to-
ward international arbitration. Japan and
Russia We're two of the principal signers
to the first Hague convention Both are
opposed to a call for second congress
now on the ground that it might lead to,
an attempt at intervention. Fo rthe same
reason England and France. allies of the!
warning powers. are opposed to any actiont
by the president while the war is on. Un-i
official inquiries by American diplomatsI
at other European capitals convinced Mr..
Hay that invitations to peace congress,
would not now be received with favor.
If Mr.. Roosevelt is In the White Housei
when the war ends he will at once open
negotiations with the nations to secure
their views as to the time and place forl
holding the congress. These prelilninaries,
1t Is now stated may take a year. On,
account Of the expense involved in enter
tanning the congress, 1t will not be forced
on The Hague. If the government Of the
Netherlands extends an invitation, the
congress doubtless will be held there. but
otherwise 1t nay meet in Switzerland or
some other small European country, or in
Washington. If sentiment favorable to
the American capital is developed. con-
gress will be asked to appropriate fund
with which to entertain the delegates.

Sioux Falls. S. D., Oct. 13.-Several un-
usually bold holdup men are operating at
Montrose and vicinity William Grady, a
resident of Montrose, was a victim of the
holdup men. Upon entering his own barn
he was held up by a couple of strangers,
who had secreted themselves in the barn.
Grady was compelled to disgorge all the
money he had with him.
Dr. Spencer. another resident of Mont
rose. was stopped on the road near town
while driving with his wife and infant
child. They We're driving along in the
darkness when there was a sudden lurch
TO the vehicle as the arm of a stout ap-
pearing stranger attempted to grasp the
horse by the bride.
The doctor, with rare presence of mind.
quickly struck the horse vicious blow
with his whip. Unused to such treatment,
the animal gave wild jump, compelling
,,the bandit to loosen his hold of the bride
In order to prevent being run over.
Just as the horse jumped another des-
perado appeared at the side of the buggy
with huge revolver, which he pointed at
the occupants of the vehicle. The use of
the whip on the horse just at the right
moment resulted in the two discounted
bandits being speedily left in the rear.
Robberies and holdups have become so
frequent IN that immediate locality that
the authorities are preparing to run out
of the country all strangers who cannot
give IA good account of themselves.

Automobile Accident in
New York,

New York, Oct. S.-While speeding,
along in the Bronx an automobile con-,
tanning nine persons went over an em-
bankment at One Hundred and Sixty
first street and Jerome avenue. and one
man and woman were killed. The,
ssachine fell onto the New York Cen.
tial railroad tracks and the wreckagei
was struck by southbound train.
In the automobile when the accident.
occurred were five women and four
men. The automobile was in charge
of Albert Noyes.
At Jerome avenue and One Hundred
and Sixty-first street the roadway Isl
between twenty and thirty feet above|
the railroad tracks. When the big MAJ
chine plunged downward it struck near
the southbound track and the nine per-
sons and the automobile were caught
by an incoming train known as the
Croton local.
Beside the man and woman killed,
all the others in the automobile were
injured. They were taken to Fordham
hospital where it was reported at 1880
o'clock this morning that at least one

senger on the train said the train was
running at the rate of about thirty
five miles an hour when it struck the

wrecked was a heavy touring car, and
it is said was running down jerome
avenue at rapid rate. Jerome avenue
ends abruptly at One Hundred and
Sixty-f1rs street. There is high
fence at this point to prevent vehicles
from dropping off onto the track.
Where jerome avenue ends the road
way takes sharp turn, and the auto
mobile did not slacken up for the curve
and struck the fence with terrific
crash.
Engineer Livingston put on brakes
as soon as possible, but not before the
wreckage of the car had been carried
some distance.
The body of Albert Noyes. chauffeur
of the wrecked automobile. was found
underneath the pilot of the engine hor-
ribly mangled.
At 8 o'clock this morning one of the
injured women who was identified at
the Fordham hospital as Anna Smith,
II years old, died.
This made a total of three dead, one
of whom, a woman, was still unidenti-
fled.

scattered along the railroad track for
a distance of two blocks. The car had
been reduced literally 10 bits. 1t is
said to have been running at least
twenty five miles an hour when the ac.
cident occurred.

FOUR STILL MISSING.
Only Three of the Prisoners Who Es.
capped From Sioux Falls Penitentiary
Have Been Taken.

Sioux Falls, S. d., Oct 10-The au-
thorities of the Sioux Falls peniten-
t1ary, up to noon today. had succeeded
in. recapturing only one of the five
prisoners who were successful in maxi
ing their escape from the penitentiary
last night. The fugitive caught late
last night was Ed Gordon. United
States prisoner who is under sentence
of four years for postof1ice robbery
This makes three of the original seven
who made a desperate break for lib
erty, who have been recaptured. Three
state prisoners and one United States
prisoner are yet at large; no trace of
Z them has been found, but the authori-
ties are confident of effecting their cap
ture.
Gordon was caught while attempting
to board an east bound train for the
Twin Cities on the Omaha railroad
late at night. Anticipating that some
of the fugitives might endeavor to
board this train at crossing in the
northeast part of the city, guards were
secreted near the spot shortly before
the train was due to pass. Gordon ap-
peared from a hiding place near by as
the train approached, and was seized
while trying to board the train, which
had stopped for a crossing.

CC9Ps GROW LARGER.
The Splendid Fall l1.sther Has Large.
y Overcome Earlier Fears of
Small Yield.
: York, Oct. n.-Bradstreet's re

New York, Oct. 1l.-Bradstreet's re
port says:
Popular estimates of leading crop
yields continue to enlarge. Corn has
passed out of danger of serious frost
damage in the west. and distribution,
both at wholesale and retail, expands
as cooler weather approaches. Addi-
tional favorable features are the con-
tinuance of the good tone in pig iron,
freer buying by railways of material
and rolling stock and heavy general
crop movement helping collections
north and south. While the buying of
dry goods. hardware, groceries. shoes
and clothing continues of good volume.
particularly in the west, conservatism
finds reflection in small but frequent
orders. calculated to meet necessities.
The transportation movement is heavy
and railway earnings showan expanding
tendency, the gain for ST. Paul promls-
ing 6 per cent. over 1903.
There are some flaws in the situation
which stamp this as an off year When
compared with previous periods of
great prosperity. Relatively most ac-
tivity in current distribution. whether
of dry goods, clothing, lumber, hard
| ware or building material, exists in the
west and northwest. Cooler weather

tail activity. In the east business is
not so active in some industrial centers,
and summer depression in building or
in textile industry. Some eastern in
dustries. like machinery and tool MAX

turing, are looking up. however. The

Four Different Fires Started in a

Geddes, S. d, Oct. l1.-F'our different
fires were started in as many diff
ferent places here in as many different
hours. fire was, started in small
barn in the rear of the Gee hotel and
simultaneously one was started in the
rear of the NJ. Heitkemper saloon on
the outside of the building. The fire
department soon put out the former
and party of men with bucket brig
ade made short work of the latter be-
fore much damage was done. Soon an
other fire was started in the rear OF
l.. Kittercan's pool hall and bowling
alley, in a small barn. In the barn
was the race horse, "Uncle Ike" owned
by Martin Paulson, of Armour, and
who won the horse race here Wednes
day in which something like $500
changed hands. The horse was burned
on the hip and hind leg quite badly.
The fire burned up about half of the
bowling alley and jumped to an ad-
joining building, which contained the
Free Lance printing office and burned
about half the building and nearly
ruined the printing outfit before the
fire company could stop the flames.
Later the fire alarm was turned on
again, and this time the blaze was
discovered in the rear of e. w. Shuck
& Sons general store and an out
building near the gasoline tanks. 1t was
quickly put out.
1t is plainly the work of incendiaries,
and the streets and alleys were pa
trollcd last night with men on the
watch.
