Aberdeen. S. D., Aug. 14.-Fire de.

buildings and gutted three stores last
night, causing total loss of about
$4,000: insurance, S1S,00O.
The fire started in an awning of a
feed store and spread rapidly. Hard
work by the department saved further
building losses The chief losses We're:

400.

Adjoining buildings damaged $100

The origin of the fire is not known
BY the time the department began ef-
fective work the Dryden block was a
mass of flames and it seemed the en-.
tire business section was doomed The
fire was fought from the tops of neigh
boring houses and buildings, citizens
aiding.
The absence of wind undoubtedly
saved the town from serious disaster
Two years ago Faulkton suffered bv
a serious fire, a block of buildings Val.

WAGES a LITTLE BETTER.
.H.,oe the Purchasing Power Has In


Washington, Aug. 16.-A report has
been issued by the bureau of labor of
the investigation into the wages and
hours of labor in 1905 in the principal
manufacturing and mechanical indus
tries of the United States. The report
gives the average wages and hours Of
labor and number of employees in iden-
tical establishments in both 1904 and
1905
While the tiures presented are not
exhaustive for the United States the
report says: 1T is believed they are
fairly representative of the Industries
Investigate ted.
Continuing the report says: "Results
of the investigations show that in 1905,
the average wages per hour in the prin-
cipal manufacturing and mechanical
Industries of the country We're 1.6 per
cent. higher than in 1904; that the aver
age hours of labor per week remained
the same as in 1904, and that e3 per
cent. more persons We're employed in
the establishments Investigated.
AS there was no reduction in the
average hours of labor per week the
average weekly earnings per employe
were 1.6 per cent. higher than in 1904
AS there was an increase in the num-
Der of employees as we'll as in weekly
earnings per employe there was a con-
siderable increase in the weekly earn
ings of all employees, or in other words,
in the amount of the weekly pay roll.
This increase was per cent. in the
establishments Investigated. When the
figures of this article relating to wages
and hours of labor and those of suc>
ceeding articles relating to retail prices
Of food are brought together, it is seen
that the retail prices of food, due
weight being given to quantity and cost
of different commodities consumed,
were 0.6 per cent. higher in 1905 than in,
1904. AS the average wages per hour
increased more than the retail prices
Of food. the purchasing power Of wages
increased. In 1905 the purchasing pow
er OF both hourly and weekly was /
pe- cent. higher than in 1904 or ex-
pressed in other words an hours wages
in 1905 would purchase per cent more
food than an hours wages in 1904"

TO DIG DRAINAGE DITCH.
Deuel. County Farmers Will Spend
$4,000 in Undertaking..

Clear Lake, S. D., Aug, 13.-Deuel
county will next year snow an in
creased value in farm land of at least
s65000o. if the farmers of the west end
of the county carry out their present
plans of digging a drainage ditch. Some
2.5o0 acres of land in the western part
OF the county is too wet for cultivation
and for hay land is worth only about
81 an acre.
The farmers We're of the opinion that
the land could be drained and last
week got together and employed Cen
eral Carpenter, of Watertown, a grad
uate surveyor, to survey ditch which
he has just completed, being confident
that drainage ditch would enhance
the value of the land at least $50 an
acre. The ditch would have to be seven
miles long, and on account of the land
being too wet to work With teams and
scrapers the ditch would have to be
dug with spades and shovels, thus
making the cost about $4,000.
The farmers have decided to so ahead
with the proposition and if possible
will complete the ditch before the
ground freezes this fall.

FIGHT OVER DEAD MANS GOLD.
Two Sets of Heirs Engaged in Legal
Battle Before Ssioux EalIs Luaes,

pdItie beIofc SIOUX Falls judo
sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 13.-Two sets
of heirs have commenced an interest
ing legal battle before County Judge
Bailey, of this city. for possession of
property formerly owned by the late
Mrs Mary 5. Sanford, who died in nli-
nols, but who had considerable prop
erty in South Dakota That part OF
her estate which is situated in this
state is valued at approximately $780,
00t.
1t appears that at the time of the
death of Mr.. Sanford, number of
years ago, his estate was divided as
the law directed, the widow receiving
one-thlrd and the remainder being di-
vided between four children, three sons
and daughter. The present contest
in the county court here is over the
one-third of the estate that went to the
widow
tween the opposing heirs is as to the
appointment of an administrator of
that portion of the estate which is in
South Dakota The executors of that
part of the estate in Illinois, which is
valued at hundreds Of thousands of
dollars, are seeking through their Sioux
Falls attorneys to be appointed the ad-
mnistrators of the South Dakota es-
tate.
In opposition to this the only daugh-
ter df the late Mrs. Sanford. Miss Mary
Sanford, seeks to have herself ap-
pointed as administrator Arguments
in the case have been concluded before
Judge Bailey, but he decided to con-
tinue the case until the necessary pub
liCatiOn could be made

DENIED a NEW TRIAL.
lay County Man Must Go to the P...
Itei1tiary for Manslau ahter.

isentary for Manslaue ehter.
Nermilion, S. d.. Aug. 13.-'rhe SUI
orenle court has denied H. c. Edmunds
of this city new trial on his appeal
IRON the circuit court on the ground
lhat the indictment was improperly
drawn. This was the last straw that
MT. Edlnunds and his attorneys were
cllngis to. and now they are hope
lesslv lost. The case has been hanging
on for over two years, but will come
TO an end next October when Judge
smith pronounces sentence on Mr.. Ed
munds, who stands convicted of man
slaughter i'm the first degree the penalty
for which is from four to twenty years
IN the penitentiary.
The crime which will send Mr.. Ed
munds to the penitentlary was COM
mitted at Meckling on July i, 1904 Mr..
Edmunds had gone there on business
and while at the depot looking after
freight shipments, was approached by
w. j. Williams, who had worked for
him on the ranch three miles east Of
Meckling. The young man claimed Ed
munds owed him SO wage money The
latter denied it. The laborer made some
pretty severe threats, but finally the
IWo lilell separated. EQlNunOS went into
the depot and there secured ball bat
which he carried with him to his
buggy. About this time young Will
1ams started across the street towards
1dmunds, who. fearing that he meant
to carry out his threats, picked up the
bat again. When within a few feet of
Edmunds the young man was advised
to keep his distance, but paid no atten-
ton TO the warning. The next minute
the bat descended on his head with ter
rifle force. Williams never regained
consciousness dying the next morning.
Edmunds was arrested. held at the pre-
liminary hearing, convicted in circuit
court on a charge of manslaughter in
the first degree and has been unsuc-
cessful in his appeal to the supreme
court
When seen last evening Edmunds
was bearing up bravely under the bad
news. He did not seem to lack courage
on his own behalf but the hard part
of IT all was to be compelled to inform
his faithful wife, who has had her
share of sorrow for two years. He in
tends to make the most of his convfc-
ton, but will go to the penitentiary
with the firm belief that he was iusti-
lied in striking the fatal blow. Before
and since the fatal day Edmunds has
been considered a good citizen and
there are but few here who but wish
ne could have escaped the penitentiary.
