Burned Over Considerable Country

Windsor. Fires In the Hills.
The Woodbury. SchesI lleuse aad !
Fine Grove Of. Trees Bsraed.
Other lesses Reported.

A heavy wind Tuesday spread q
prairie fire over. a large scope Of coun-
try south and west of Eldridge and
numerous losses are expected, besides
destroying much grass The fire was
plainly visible from Jamestown in the
evening and the odor Of burning grass
was also ia evidence. Among the first
losses reported is that fire destroyed
the Woodbury. school house and coal
supply, also the fine grove of trees
planted by Geo. Woodbury. Is years
ago. 1t was the first school house
built in the Eldridges school district
and was known as No. l. The fire
started in a neighboring stubble field
said to have been due to burned
strawstack that kept the fire alive
and was started again by the high
wind.
The fire ran quickly through the
stubble and also burned a hay stack
on the Woodbury. place.
Albert Monek had to fight the ire
on his farm to keep it. from burning
a granary filled with flax. The high
wind made it almost impossible TO ex-
tinguish the flames and plowing and
crossing p!owing was necessary before
the fire was under control.
Another fire was started near Wind
sor Tuesday, said to have been done
by an engine, and burned southeast
over a wide strip of country. 1t de-
stroyed considerablelhay.IIt is report
ed two farm houses and some cattle
were caught. Another fire was rag
ing south east Of Medina also and a
heavy fire ran out of the hills west of
Pingree and burned southeast to the
Pipestem, as far as the. Jake Cooper
place west of Buchanan. Some hay
was lost, but no serious damage re-
ported in that direction today. v

Flowing Again.

The warm weather following the
October cold snap has so softened the
ground that plowing has become quite
general again. The farmers were ob
liged 60 abandon plowing the latter
part of last month, but have gone at
it again in earnest and II the present
warm, pleasant weather holds for an
other week there will be great deal
of good work done that was not expect

III, First Mass.

Sunday at 1890 a. NJ, solemn high
mass was celebrated at St. James
Catholic church. The celebrant was
the Rev. Father Bierns, deacon being
Rev. Father Duffy, aud sub b-deacon
being Rev. Father Geraghty. The
occasion was a unique one in James
town, being none other than the first
occasion that Father Bierns celebrated
mass. The Catholics of Jamestown
ever true TO the See OF Rome turned
out in their hundreds. The church
was filled to overfi0wing, and the
number of souls present on the &C.
casion must have amounted to one
thousand. The choir on the occasion
sang the mass in exquisite strains.
The music was q selection from Mo-
zart and Mendelssohn and was most
suitable for sLch a solemn occasion.
The occasion beinga memorable one
was rendered still more memorable by
the beautiful sermon preached by
Father Geraghty. Having selected
for; the subject of his discourse
"Priesthood, aud took for his text
those beautiful wordsfrom Psalm elk
s'Thou art . priest forever according
to the order of Melchisedech." =,
Father Geraghty is an orator Of the
first grade. He is able to throw his
own personality into his sermon, and
doing SO he produces wonderful
impression on his audience. In forci-
BILE logic and aowery language he
proved to bis audience that the priest
hood is divine, founded by Christ,
continued by Christ and that il is
eternal and shall last to the end Of
time. The Catholic people Of James
town shall ever look back with feel
sings OF pride to that 18th day Of Nov.
1905, when the Rev. Pastor Fr. Ger
agility preached such an Instructive,
! convincing, loquent and flowery SER
mon. Long may he live to do good
work for: God among the apeople OF
Jamestown. e n III 4. ii

no action will be taken in regard to

Buy Cattle I'm Europe

Breeders of fine stock declare that no
1aatter how they try, it is impossible to
get foothold with their cattle in South
America. This is not because the cattle
raiSers in South America do not buy fine
cattle, but because of their prejudice
against anything that comes from the
yankee" country. They go to England,
Scotland, France and Germany for their
cattle, and will not look at n North
American bred animal.
Il. ". Davis, of Iowa City, la. "A breeder
of Angus cattle, says he has known of
several failures. One was where an
American exporter shipped several pure
f1cd bulls to the Argentine Republic
only to have them killed by the qualan-
tine officers there. Inc matter was taken
up by the United States authorities and
the exporter was paid for his cattle, but
he was cured of his desire to place cattle
in South America. Mr. Davis is himself
a heavy importer from Scotland, and. in
speaking of his experiences there, yeSter-
day, said:
when ! was in Scotland three years
ago, | found that some Of the best. if
not the very best, cattle sold under my
observation went to South American buy
ers. They are willing to buy in Scot
land or England and ship their purchases
across the Atlantic, but they do not fall
over themselves buying equally good stuff
from IFS
"The Scotch, by the way, are fully as
callny as they are given credit for being
when it comes to the cattle business.
found the Scotch fully up-to-dyte on cat
tlc-raiSing, and never asleep when it came
to getting their money out of the stuff
They spare no pains on their stock, and
they know what it should bring. They
get the price. too.
THE Scotch house their stock more
CLOSELY than we do. In the southern part
of Scotland cattle are stabbed all winter,
while in the northern part they spend
most of their time indoors. The barns
or byrcs are all long. low, one-story stone
affairs. 1t seemed to me that each one
looked like every other.
81 found that one-fifth of the cattle l
bought subject to the tubercular test
failed to pass it. This is a very high
per cent, but | think it is explained by
the close housing. 1t seems to me that
the cattle in the United Kingdom are
kept too much indoors. | believe that if
t;!ere We're little less stablng the per
ccntage of animals failing to stand the
tubercular test might be reduced"

Americans SWIMMING Feat

tails Of the swimming of the Nile from
Old Cairo to Basus, eleven and one-quar-

He had heard that the swimming of the
