WOMEN AS FIREFIGHTERS.
Heroism Displayed BY the Center Sex
in Marshall County.


From Saturdays Daily.
A case of heroism on the part of two
women, residents of Eckvoll township,
Marshall county, was brought to light
yesterday in letter addressed to State
Fire Warden G.. c. Andrews by the
chairman of Eckvoll township. The let
ter accompanied a report of disas-
trous prairie fire which swept through
the township, and asked if women who
assist in fighting prairie fires are en-
titled to pay for their services.
The prairie fire broke out on Oct. 81
in swamp bordering in Eckvoll. The
fire gained Roadway rapidly, spreading
across the marsh and threatening farm
buildings. J. H. Johnson, chairman of
the township, enedavored to get as
sistance, but could find no men. Two
women, whose names were withheld,
volunteered to assist him. They work
ed twent- four hours before the flames
were extinguished. More than 800 acres
of swamp land was burned over and fif
ty tons of hay destroyed.
Gen. Andrews said yesterday that ac-
cording to the laws of the state the
women are entitled to the regular
amount paid fire fighters, $l.5O per day.
The amount will be forwarded to them
as soon as their names are known.

HABEAS CORPUS.
Writ Issued for Return of Little Zadie
CourtWriqht.

CourtWright.
From Mondays Daily.
w. j. Merchant yesterday afternoon
started habeas corpus proceedings for
the purpose of procuring possession of
Zadie Cartwright, the little orphan girl
who has made her home in his family
the past three years, and who left quite
mysteriously on Halloween, under cir
cumstances that have led to the sus-
picion that she was spirited away. The
writ is returnable tomorrow afternoon
at two o'clock before Judge Cray. 1t was
placed in the hands of Sheriff Williams
for service upon Mrs. Azella F. Smith,
and although deputy sheriff made
many attempts yesterday afternoon he
was unable to get into Mrs. Smiths res
idence to make personal service. He
finally secured service by pinning it up
on the door.
w. A. Funk is understood to be look
ing after Mrs. Smiths interests, while
j. A. Flittie is Mr.. Morehart's attor-
ney. 1t is suspected by Mr.. Merchant
that Mrs. Smith either has Miss Court
wright in her home or that she knows
where she is.
Zadie Is Returned.
The Free Press late this afternoon re-
oeived the following telegram:
st. James, Nov. l0.-Zadie Court
wright, not proving satisfactory in any
place found for her, is returned to w. j.
Merchant today. A. F. SMITH.
This will stop the proceedings insti-
tuted by Mr.. Merchant.

The convention voted to instruct the
president to cast his vote for the stock
holders of the Dairy Record in favor of
H. P. Olson of st. Paul to succeed him
self on the board of managers of the
paper for the term of three years.
The committee on resolutions present
ed lengthy report. In substance, it
was as follows: The legislature is urg-
ed to materially increase the appropria-
tion at the disposal of the state dairy
and food department, because it is han
dicapped by lack of funds. The legis-
lature is asked to provide for an expert
mental creamery in connection with the
state dairy school, where experiments
can be carried on the entire year. and
to provide for new building and an
appropriation to support it. Dairy and
Food Commissioner Slater is commended
for his aggressive policy for pure food
and the enforcement of law, and the as
ISOLATION pledges itself to stand beside
and behind him to aid him in it's work.
The legislature is urged 70 pass laws
providing that the manufacture of food
be protected from impure material, and

sUFFERINGs OF RUSSIAN JEWS.
Those in England in a Pitiable Condition,
DR.. Danziger Reports.

Washington Aug 2.-Dr. Adolphe Danziger.
formerly United States Consul at Madrid. arrived
here to-day TO lay before the Department Of Com
nerce and Labor memoranda concerning the con-
dftton Of the Jews abroad, the information being
gathered at the request OF the department for the
use of the Bureau OF ImmjSratAea III dealing with
that class Of immigrants.
"In England, Germany and Russia" said Dr.
Danziger in reviewing his observations to-day
what struck me most notably was the hopeful
views the Jews take of America The people l
met were hoping that the President would take the
opportunity that presented itself to induce the
Russian government to grant them freedom, or al
least to give them equal rights IN Russia. Many OF
the Russian Jews do not want to leave that ceun-
try. They are farmers, and are a hardy and brave
people They love their country in spite OF the
terrible oppression that has been brought upon
them by the Russian government.
Il found terrible condition among the Russian
Jews who have gone TO England to TO this
country The steamship companies are afraid to
bring them here for fear they will be declared
paupers, with the result that the steamship COM
panles would have to take them back England.
IN order to refuse them passage when they have
the money to pay their way, the doctors Of the
companies invent excuses They declare that they
are suffering from some kind Of eye disease or
some imaginary i'll. The fact is the Jews there
are powerful fellows, who have had their muscles
trained on farms in Russia. They are not only
farmers, but mechanics OF all kinds"
JF 11anZlger expressed the opinion that the South
oHered an opening for the Jews if the interests
there were anxious to obtain white labor for farm
work. ~ ~ - -
