One of the amusing things
about the peace conference is
the endeavor on the part of Rus
sia's profound diplomats to de-
wise some way by which an in
demnity can be paid and yet fool
the whole world and the Russian
people into the notion that no in
demnity was allowed. Multi
tudes of ingenious people on
both hemispheres sympathize
with the envoy of the Gar in this
difficulty and many valuable sug-
gestions are being offered.

The north part Of the state
must make a showing of exhibits
and attendance at the state fair
at Huron next month that will
afford ample Justification for
making the permanent location
OF the fair so accessible to us.
The management is making an
appeal to state pride that should
certainly be effective. Who is

Hill Helps the Husbandmarl

James J.. Hill, the Great North
ern magnate, has certainly won
the gratitude OF the grain grow
ers of the Dakotas by the very
material reductions in freight
rates on grain. Of course com
peting line will now have to meet
the reduced rates, doing with as
much grace as possible under
compulsion what Mr.. Hill has
done with his characteristic
beneficence.
This reduction ranges from
five cents a hundred from the
most distant points to a half-cent
from points nearest St. Paul and
the head of navigation on the
Great Lakes. From Williston,
n. Oak, GIG miles from the
Great Lakes, it is five cents.
Other North Dakota points are
benefited by reductions of from
one cent to five cents. In South
Dakota there is a reduction of
four cents a hundred from
Huron, two cents from Aberdeen
and Yankton and corresponding
reductions from other points to
St. Paul. In Minnesota the new
rates show similar concessions.

BE was pushing Tommy toward the
elevator. Tommy dropped him off at
the Marsdens' floor and ran the car all
the way down to the cellar. He could
not witness the end of his work. He
felt that he must have q cry and for
that the cellar is the most secluded
place.
1t was not until a furious ringing of
the bell reused him that he checked
his tears and raj the car up. Nancy
and Truesdell were waiting together
at the door. Nancy threw her arms
about him and kissed him upon his
freckled, blushing cheek.
"Jack has told me all, dear" she
whispered, land next to him l love you

In Tommy's heart glad songs of
praise echoed and re-echoed, but all he
could say was:
I'm glad Of that. I guess it'll have
to hold me TIL l get growed up and
can give him a good run for first

1T was not gracious, but Nancy un-
derstood and kissed him again.

The column of farm news and
comment which has become a
regular feature of this paper has
attracted some notice among the
exchanges throughout the state.
That the feature is an attractive
one is shown by the fact the
Sioux Falls Press soon opened a
similar department under the
heading THE Farm and the
Farmers Work" Now the Ar
gus-Leader follows suit with a
very interesting column called
Rural Minnehaha.' It is quite
natural that the general public
should be intensely interested in
the farmers whose operations in
their fields mean so much to the
business life of the state. The
volume of all business shrinks
or swells in proportion to the
productivity Of the farmers pas
ture and plowlands.

Tommy's favorite before Miss Mars

he had cut in between them, but Tom
my realized that love is ever breaking

the stairway to get a chance to happen

These were heavy days and sleen-

elevator runner. In his boyish, pas.

brave little woman who supported
herself and her invalid mother BY her

Truesdell would win her before Tommy

marriage is regarded with other than

who employs several stenographers in
New York hotels, shot and probably
fatally wounded Mrs. Catherine Nor
gan in a parlor of the Hotel Impe-

by Mr.. Young. Jealousy is believed to
be the cause of the shooting. Mrs.
Young had been separated from her

BRUSH TRIED TO MURDER
ELLIS WHILE IN HONOLULU
Man Who Was Assaulted in San Francisco Was
Entced to Diamond Head
and Shot At.

The leading criminal case which IS
puzziing the San Francisco police has
a Honolulu angle. On Wednesday, Oc-
tober II, william Brush" alias Milton
Franklin Andrews, and female con-
sort planned to murder William Ell
lis in Berkeley. Ellis came from Aus
tralia to San Francisco with his al
pair, Ellis was struck over the head
with a hammer, and the woman is said
to have usedx knife. They thought
they had killed him, but he was only
hospital. In the meantime. however.
the pair had stolen his funds, amount
ing to about $4,000.
It appears that while on the way
party stopped off at Honolulu. The
Call of October Il gives the following
portion of the Honolulu story:
William Ellis made the statement
