new roads between Georgetown and the
camps and these roads passed around
to the rear of Arlington. Fort Whipple,
one of the Gordon of fertilization for
the defence of Washington, was erected
west of Arlington, and the site of this
Civil War earthwork is now covered by
the important cavalry post, Fort Myer.
Villages have come into being i'll that
neighborhood, the highways have been
improved, an electric car line built and
thus have been cut channels through
which nearly everyone passes in and
out of Arlington.
The eastern gates are at the foot of
a long, steep hill, and there are no
graves near the Mcclellan or Sheridan
gates, though the Ord-Weitzel gate
leads into part of the cemetery where
five thousand men, mostly colored sol
diers, are buried.

Arlington National Cemetery has
three gatcways of rare distinction and
architectural beauty, though few of
even Washington's residents are ac-
quainted with this fact. Visitors sell
dom enter or leave the majestic place
through these portals. The reason for
this is that Arlington has changed
front, or that circumstance has
changed its front. The great public
surges in and cut of Arlington through
what was the back gate. This is now
called the main west gate, and it is a
commonplace double gate of ornate
iron rods and spears, glittcrcd over
with gold-leaf, and such a gate as may
be seen in other national cemeteries or
Government reservations.
The beautiful gates Of Arlington
stand on the east face of the estate.

Fancy Baby Clothes Tabooed.

The mother of q large family of
American children CHARGED to be living
abroad when the last baby WAS born,
and she has since often times said that
she wished all of her children had been
born in Germany.
The last little girl. during its first
three months of existence, in charge of
a native German nurse, was not only
more comfortable. but better cared for
in every way than the other children
who were born in America. The little
girl was brought up by the native Ger
man method, and this means. in the
first place, that the German baby is
treated scientifically. Nor does this
signify by the rules of Il recently ac-
quircd experimental science. the result

Huronite-It is popular just now
to denounce the boss, but there has
been many victory to his credit
for which the people have been very
thankful.
In the above statement the
Huronite seems to make no distinc-
tion between the boss and the party
leader, yet they are by no means
synonymous terms. The party
leader aims to direct the political
affairs in the interest of the public,
while the boss aims to dictate
ma tiers in the interest of his own
selfish ambitions. The victories
for which the people have been
thankful We're won by party lead
ers, but bossism, of the style OF
Quay, Cox, German, Murphy and
Addix is always Unpopular.

It seems that the recent
announcement to the effect that
Chas. Stone, a local tailor of
Yankton, and Shilling Bros. of St..
Paul were soon to open a pants
and shirt factory in Yankton, was
all graft. Stone, the promoter Of
the scheme, started the graft sever
al months ago. His plan was to
solicit contributions of $1.OO per
week from the business men to
raise a fund for starting the fac
tory, promising that when $a5.
had been paid in by each individual
that he would be given suit of
clothes worth that amount. In
this way he had collected about
$500, and has now skipped the
country. Instead of being clothed
the citizens have therefore been
feeced.

The custom of many newspapers
of publishing regular reading mat
ter articles, many of them in their
editorial columns with 10 sigma
lures, or other markings to indi.
cate that they are contributed, and
collecting for them as regular adj
vertising matter can not help
cheapening the editorial value of
any newspaper, and is dishonest
to the readers. The insurance in
vestigation in New York brought
out the fact that many papers have
been publishing such articles at
$1.00 per line in defense of the in
surance magnates. Of this the N ew
York Herald says: "The publ,
cation. Tor any price, of advertise
ments as reading matter is a gross
deception of the public, which no
newspaper of reputation should
permit. 1t Is downright dishonesty,
sailing under false colors, and a
cheating of the public. Especially
wrong is it in connection with this
Investigation which concerns the
future financial welfare of millions
of policy-holders, many of them
widows and orphans, or men and
women who have suffered pinching
economies to meet premium pay
ments. It seems incredible that
the testimony ia true; that there
must be some explanation that
shall be a denial of it by news
papers involved. To use vulgar
but expressive term, it is
up to- them to show that they
have not knowingly betrayed the
public at a dollar a line for the
insurance companies"

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

The annual proclamation for
Thanksgiving day left the Office of
Governor Elrod yesterday. Here
counts the many blessings that
have come to the people of South
Dakota and reviews the evidences
of great prosperity all over the
state. The proclamation in full
follows:
All the people Of this common
wealth have great reason to be
thankful for bountiful crops, for
employment, for health, for happy
homes, for blessings unequaled.
and for all necessaries and many
of the comforts of life.
In conformity with the proclama-
tion of President Roosevelt, /,
Samuel H. Elrod, do set apart
Thursday, November 80, 1905, as
a day Of Thanksgiving.
All citizens are earnestly urged
to cease from their labors at lea st
part Of the day, and to meet in
houses of worship or in homes,
and give thanks unto God.
Where there is sickness and sor-
row, let friends fail not to do and
say things which will cause the
hearts of such unfortunate ones to
be thankful.
Brother ought to learn from
brother. Recently there was a fast
day sacred to foreigners. Every
foreigner in our great country
sacredly kept the fast day of his
native land. Possibly some of
them did it through fear. Be that
as it may, there is a lesson in it
for us. We ought to keep Thanks
giving day for love of home and
country and Acknowledgements Of
divine blessings.
Let each citizen Of South Dakota
observe the day as his best thoughts
direct, and as the day grows old
let every citizen of the common
wealth silently petition the Great
Father to continue his goodness to
us. Given under my hand and the
great seal of South Dakota, at the
capitol in the city of Pierre, this
9TH. day of November, in the year
of our Lord nineteen hundred and
five, and in the sixteenth year Of
the state.

NEBRASKA LETTER.
The Springs and Wells in That State New
er Affected by Drought.

Benedict, Nebr., Jan. 9, 1905,
EDITOR NEWS:-I always
feel that | am getting my moneys
worth when [ nd my dollar for
the FULTON COUNTY News. 1t
is almost the only means have
of keeping posted on what is go
ing on IN my native county.
[ see you have had a long and
severe drought IN Pennsylvania.
When | read about springs and
wells failing there, that have new
er failed before, | consider that
we are especially fortunate here
with regard to our water supply.
We have no springs but such as
are near the level Of the streams,
these, however, seem TO maintain
an undiminished flow, even in the
dryest seasons. The wells are
apparently never affected IN the
least by either dry or wet wealth
er. The water always remains
at the same level, which, here on
my farm, is about 60 feet below
the surface.
The temperature of the water
IS about AZ degrees at any season
of the year. Our whole country
is underlald with a stratum of
sand and gravel. through which
the water flows from fay up the
Rocky Mountain slope.
We are having a dry winter,
and only moderately cold. There
has been very little snow yet.
Temperature this morning was 2
below, which is the coldest we
have Mad except one morning ia
Dec amber, when it was Z below.
We have the Hesslan fly in our
wheat for the first time, hence,
we are not expecting much wheat
next harvest. All fields seem to
be infe este dexcept a few of the

FIRE IN WELLS.
Mother and Six Children Narrowly Es-
cape Death.

Last Thursday night Mrs. Peter
Garlick, living in the David Nail
house in the upper end of Wells
Valley, was awakened to find her
self almost suffocated by heat
and dense smoke in her sleeping
apartment. A moment more re-
vealed the fact that all the lower
part of the house was afire, and
her escape through the outside
door was cut off. Not only was
her life in peril, but sleeping in
the same building were her six
children, all under the age of
thirteen years. Quickly arous-
ing them, and assem- bling them
IN an upstairs room adjacent to a
porchroof, they all elm bed out on
the roof that winter night with
little more on than their night
clothes, and che mother succeed
ed in getting herself and the chill
dren to the ground without any
serious injury to herself or them.
But help was needed, and the
only thing was to send one of the
little boys. The brave little fell
low barefoot and half naked ran
through the frozen snow to Alli-
son Greendlapd's a distance of
three-quarters of a mile. His
feet were badly frozen and cut in
the rough snow and Ice.
By early morning the commu-
nifty knew of the disaster, and j.
G. Kirk, V. d. Schenck and w.
FL. Spangler each started out with
a sled to solicit aid for the now
destitute family. In twelve hours
there was a supply of nearly eve
rything necessary to go on with
their Housekeeping, and A. F.
Baker kindly placed one of b
tenant houses at their disposal
and Saturday morning found
mother and children again housed
comfortably.
AT the time of the fire Mr.. Gar
lick was at Kearney. He had been
crippled In the fall, and had just
returned to his work.

RANGE BLOWN UP.
Frozen Pipes Responsible for Wreck in
Horace Nace's Kitchen.

On Monday morning the water
back in steel cooking range in
the home of Mr.. Horace U. Mace
OF this place, exploded with great
violence, breaking the range into
fragments and hurling the pieces
of metal in every direction, which
badly shattered the ceiling and
destroyed the furniture IN the
room in which the range had becn
placed. The concussion was so
powerful that every window light
was blown out as though they
had been tissue paper, and, in
fact the interior Of the room was
a complete wreck.
The range was an almost new
one, of the be pattern, and the
water back was connected with
the tank in the bath room. Dur
ing the extreme cold of Sunday
night the water in the connecting
pipes froze. To prevent just such
an accident Mr.. Mace had seen to
it that there was good fire ih the
range Sunday evening.
Monday morning Mrs. Mace
was not very well and she and
Donald their four-year-old sou,
remained in bed while Horace
went down and started fire in
the range. After having done so
and finished some other little
chores, his mother-ln-law, Mrs.
S. M. Robinson, who lives just
next door told him to come in and
take breakfast with them and not
disturb Mrs. Mace and Donald.
While seated at breakfa fast in the
Robinson home, their ears were
greeted by deafening sound in
the Mace home, as Though the
whole building had been blown to
pieces. fastening to the scene
of the wreck, they found every.
thing in the condition before stat
ed.
The explosion came from steam
generated IN the water back and
unable to escape on account Of the
Ice in the connecting pipes.
There is much Of good fortune
in the disaster. Had Mrs. Mace
risen as usual that morning, at
the time of the explosion the fam
lily would have been seated at
breakfast just few feet fr 0m the
range, and there is not one chance
IN thousand that any of them
would be alive today.

would not explode and Houser
made a lunge at Barringer, who
closed the door on him and he
left the house with the threat that
he would leturn and kill the re-
malnder of the family. Houser
was captured at 1920 in an aban-
doned mine, nearly frozen. He
may not recover from the effects
of the exposure. He had run two
miles through zero weather hat
less, coatless and shoeless.
One part of the affair that is
deemed peculiar is that the mur
derer made no attempt to kill his
son. The boy Charles, who is
about 2 years of age, was in bed
with his mother and is unharmed.
He was found lying on the bed in
huddled heap where he had
been thrown by his father and
presented a most pitiable specta-
Gle with his tiny hands covered
with his mothers blood. Accord.
ingly to the stories told by the
Survivors of the illfated family,
the treatment that Houser gave
his wife for the first year that
they lived together after their
marriage was awful. ltis stated
that he never worked and they
frequently had very little to eat
