Mrs. Egeberg and set fire to her cloth
ing. The agonized woman ran from
the house, surrounded by other women
who were in the house, and those at
the sale Joined in every effort possible
to put out the fire and save the woman.
Blankets were at once thrown around
her and wrapped as close as possible.
But the fire seemed to be eating under
the clothing and it seemed impossible,
even with the aid of water, to quench
the flames until the lady had been
slowly and horribly burned about the
legs, lower body and arms.
Medical aid had been summoned at
once from Volga and on the arrival of
the physician she was taken to the
hospital at that place for better care.
The scene is described by those pres
ent as being awful to behold. The
narrowing screams, the. agonized
writings of the victim and the
nauseating odor Of burning flesh will
never efface the memory from the
minds OF those present.
A young girl present had the pres
ence of mind to rescue the little infant
of the victim from the fume infected
house while those of more mature
mind were paralyzed by the horror be-
fore them.
Mrs. Egeberg has no relatives in
this country having only come from
Norway about two years ago. A little
over year ago she became the wife of
Hildus Egeberg, graduate of the S.
d. A. c., also of the Iowa Law school,
who has been living on his farm near
the Sioux river the past two years.
Three weeks ago little child was born
to them and Mrs. Egeberg's first
thought upon recovering conscious
ness was of her little babe. ~
The condition of Mrs. Egeberg this
morning is reported as improving with
quite chance of her ultimate re-
covery.

Basket Ball Game

On Friday evening and Saturday
afternoon Of last week the basket ball
teams of Brookings and Elkton played
at Athletic Park. The evening crowd
was a fair sized one and the game was
close enough for the first half and part
of the second to keepthe interest to a
high point. At the end of the first
half the score was to 3 in favor of
Elkton. In the second half Elkton
made two more and nerved by the
desperation OF defeat staring them in
the face, our girls took brace and
made eight scores before time was
called, making the final record II to 6
in our favor.
, Saturday afternoon very slim
crowd took in the game. Both teams
played as hard as they knew how, and
each side made two in the first half.
Elkton was blanked in the second,
while our girls made two more, the
game closing 4 to in favor of the
locals.
The young ladies representing Elk
ton were: Misses Grace Marck, Katie
Casey, Nora Peterson, Margaret Cas-
serly, Ida Colliton and Marie Nc
Conville. They are nice, bright, hard
playing young ladies, and any time
they need chaperon they can call on
the base ball editor of this paper.
Brookings was represented by Misses
Blanche Clark, Elsie Leekley, Lila
Alton, Ida Nicholson and Neva
Knudtson on Friday. On Saturday
Miss Clark acted as referee and Miss
Leekley was absent, Their places
were taken by Mabel Erickson and
Hattie Farrankop. The games were
both spirited and greatly enjoyed by
the spectators.

Horrible Accident

Shortly after lunch had been served
at the auction sale being held, Tues
day, at the H. Egeberg farm, four
miles south and west OF the city a
most frightful accident occurred re-
sulting in the horrible burning of
Mrs. Hildus Egeberg.
The sale had started. at ten in the
morning and after lunch was served
at noon it seems that Mrs. Egeberg
used kerosene in order to start up the
fire in the kitchen range. She poured
the fluid directly from the can and
when the oil struck the dying embers
it exloded and firing and exploding

the Omnipotent God sent his angel to
bear to eternity the soul of the vener-
able James ". Alternately, of near
Wilson, W. Va, who died March 10Th
at six O'Clock a. III.
The deceased was confined to his
bed but few days, his death being
due to the intirmities of old age. He
was born in Mineral county, w. Va,
May Is, 1928, and was married to Mrs.
Anderson, a widow, formerly Miss
Sharpless, in June, 1851. They moved
to Alleganv NOV Garrett county
where they have since resided.

that is, before the ratification of the
Fifteenth Amendment to the federal
ConstitutiOn-or are lineal descend
ants of such voters. Moreover, the
Governor objected to the loosely de-
fined and practically arbitrary pow
ers granted to the'boards of registra-
tion authorized to apply the illiteracy
test. He fOresaw the fragrant abuses
which these partisan bodies would in
eyitably commit il they were allowed
to judge without restraint or appeal
the capacity of an applicant for regis
tration to understand and explain"
some technical or mystifying except
from the State constitution.
The leaders in the legislature per
sisted in passing the so-called Poe
amendment, embodying all the feat
ures to which the Governor objected.
Nor would they give him a chance to
brand the measure with his public
disapproYal. The amendment was
never presented TO him. 1t was filed
with the clerk of the Court of Appeals,
and a message from the Governor ad-
vising the Legislature that he expect
ed it to observe the ordinary legisla-
tive forms in dealing with the suffrage
restriction question was spread on
the records of the two houses without
comment or acknowledgment.
What effect the Governors opposi-
ton will have on the fate of the
amendment is difficult to guess. If
he takes the stump against the I'M
constitutional and eXtravagantly par
tisan scheme of Acknowledgement
proposed by the machine leaders, its
defeat would seem to be assured.
Maryland has little or nothing to gain
from a restriction of the suffrage. 1t
has a population over so per cent
white, and the negro domination
is now, as it has always been, a mere
campaign bogie. Possibly some hon
est and nonpartisan illiteracy act
would be approved by a majority
of the present electorate. But the in
PRODUCTION of Mississippi and North
Carolina methods would be a grave
political blunder. The Poe amend
ment aims to throw the control of
state elections into the hands of ir-
responsible partisan election boards,
whose voice is to be final in determin-
ing the rights and qualifications of
voters. This would be lamentable
step backward. The public welfare
is not menanced by the present sys-
TEN of unrestricted manhood suffrage
Whatever the faults of that system
may be, they are far more tolerab bic
than the denial of equal rights and
the subversion of popular sovereignty
which are sure to follow the abortion
of the Poe German model of irres-
ponsible star chamber government.
The Maryland campaign this year
will be one of vital and far reaching
interest.-New Yerk Tribune.

THE SUFFRAGE IN MARYLAND,

The Maryland Court of Appeals has
decided that the franchise amend
ment to the State constitution, which
was passed year ago by both houses
of the legislature, must be submitted
TO the people, despite the fact that it
was never presented to the Governor
for his approval. Governor Warfield
made it known last March, after the
legislature had adjourned, that he
would not promulgate the amend
ment or consent to its appearance
next November on the official ballot.
Legal proceedings were brought to
compel him to submit the question
to the voters, and the CoIrt of Ap-
peals has now sQuarely overruled the
State administration. The court by a
vote of five to three holds that the
legislature was within its powers in
declining to submit the proposed
amendment to the Govrnor for ap-
proval or disapproval, and it com
mands him to take the steps necessary
to carry out the legislatures inten-
tons. The amendment must 90 on
the official ballot and the voters must
decide whether or not the suffrage of
Maryland shall be "purgedn after the
Mississippi and North Carolina
methods.
Governor Wariield's position in the
controversy thus ended has brought
him into violent antagonism with the
managers of the Democratic State
machine. He was elected in 1903 on
platform which urged the disfran-
chisement of the negro voter. But
though he favored the elimination of
the negro as a factor in politics, he
proposed to accomplish. that object if
possible, in a fairminded and consti-
tutional way. He was willing to APP
prove an amendment imposing an ILL
teracy test, but he wanted that test
to apply impartially to both white
and black illiterates. He did not adj.
wise the use in Maryland of the
grandfather clause exemption, un-
der which white illiterates can vote
without question if they were quail
fed voters before January /, 1862
