ANOTHER FIRE
Anton Dokken's Dwelling Badly
Damaged Tuesday.

About two O'Clock tuesday afternoon
an alarm OF fire was turned in from
the second ward and the fire whistle
again pierced the frosty air. startling
the inhabitants of our quiet little city
into sudden activity
There was Il hurrying IL and fro and
many anxious faces until the fire was
located. 1t was discovered in the resi-
dcnce ot Anton DokkCn al the corner
Of Sixth avenue and Sixth Street. The
fire department. responded promptly
and IL few minutes the chemical en-
sine was at work. At nearly the same
time two streams of water were turned
on l-om the hydrantS, which We're
found IN good working order
The fire seemed 10 be all in the attic
under the roof of Onc-story cottage
and was hard to get at, but ii was kept
confined there and was finally Subdued
without any great damage 10 the lower
part except from the Hoods OF water
which the fire boys turned on.
The family was away from home at
the time and the origin of fire is only
Surmised. II is believed TO have origi-
mated about the stovcor chimney. The
piano and other furnitur" was taken
from the house.
The benefit Of having city water and
hydrantS distributed overt the residence
part OF the city was abundantly dem
onstrated right here. The fact that
this was only "a small cottage cuts but
little tiCurc-thc result is the same.

Looks Like a Special Session.

AS far as the house is concerned, the
efforts OF the President and his closest
supporters to secure the passage of q
bill giving the Interstate Commerce
Commission power TO determine what
is a reasonable rate for the transporta-
ton OF persons or property have been
crowned with success. The vote by
which the Esch-TownSend bilf passed
the House was most striking one,
only seventeen members being record
ed against its passage. IL was not
doubted that the house would pass the
bill, but the size Of the majority in its
favor was surprising. The measure
now goes to the Senate, where its path
will not be so easy, but it will go there
not only with the prestige Of success
in the House, but with added influence
Of one Of the most striking and pic
turesque personalities in the history
OF American chief executives behind
it. The Senate takes longer to delib-
crate upon measures than the House.
however, and this particular bill is one
about which the members of the upper
house are likely to be unusually slow
III making up their minds. The rail
road men, it need scarcely be said,
keep up a constant fire ofcriticism mp
on the bill. Judging from present in
dications, there is no likelihood Of the
measure being disposed of by the Sen
ate at the present session.

SOUTH DAKOTA CENTRAL
Madison Afraid 1t Will Miss the
Chance

The Madison Sentinel says that
south Of BrookingS is territory COM
prising parts OF Brookings, Lake and
Moody counties which is in about the
same condition aS was Cotton before
the building OF the South Dakota Cen
trail. This territory comprises some
of the best farm land in the state and
some of the most progressive farmers
and they are always looking out for
the main chance to improve their mar
ket facilities.
Recently these farmers held IA very
enthu siastic meeting and selected a
delegation to g 70 Sioux Falls and
wait ON President sherman OF the
South Dakota Central, with Il view TO
inducing him 20 extend his lincthrough
their territory, thus giving them ii
closer market. 1t is understood that
the farmers are willing To go down in
to their pockets for substantial bonus
ii they can secure the extension of the
Cotton line.
Ii the line extends into the above
territory it will pass Madison to the
east and probably cross the Milwaukee
ut or near Wentworth. If the Madison
people are not iorehanded with the
proper inducements for the extension
to come their way, there is good field
for the road in the direction indicated.
The farmers have selected their com
mittec and are willing to back up their
proposals with assistance in the mat
ter of right Of way.

IN THE QUIET HOUR

by FERN NJ. LENoRE CASE.
10 l.. II. c., I9O5
When morning sun shines cbccriiy,
Or stormy clouds of grey appear,
We seek our Lord, with trusting faith
And know that lac is near;
There's hopeful ones and those oppressed
With sorrow, mourning, sin and woe,
We gather in this sacred hour
Where living waters flow,
Before n. stretch the golden links
or this newborn and spotlcss day:
God 5 counsel, guidance, strength we ask
Lest We shall go astray:
And blot the pure aud unsoiled pag,
By work neglected, tasks undone
Forget 10 speak the kindly word,
To cheer some faint soul on.
W" mas not see the paths ahead
Tho His strong hands will guide Us thru
We cannot choose the trials met
But prayer viii faith renew
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
And hr thy pathway will direct
And save thy soul from sin
Docs sin and shame obstruct thy way?
Have loved ONES failed; does friendship
flee?
Oh seek thy Lord, aud bear Him say
Come and abide with Ne.
"Redeemed Of God" his prophets say,
We shall return with lasting joy:
And sorrow, mourning, flee away
The sins that now alloy.
To every grief tried, aching heart.
On which sin rests 20 heavily,
His healing Jesus can inpart;
And as thy days, thy strength shall be-"
safe as child on mothers breast
His loved ones be, nor suffer loss
Oh, trusting every sin confessed
Lay at H. fectthy cross.
Rejoice in hope forget the p
Bending To him in carues ay
Come unto me IN give the es
Aye surely Jesus cares
Our Father, here thy grace We ask;
IlIi perfect pardon, love and power;
