A bad prairie FIRE south of Will
ton during the high wind of last
Sunday and considerable damage
tothe settlers is reported. It is re-
ported that the fire was caused by
a farmer setting fire to a straw pile
and going away and leaving it. An
arrest has been made and it may
prove a good lesson and may deter
others from being SO careless. A
correspondent reports a bad fire
the same day in the Greatstone
neighbornood in which a number
of settlers we're burned out and
the loss a large one.

Naples, April. 1.-THE fate of many
children at, Ottajano is unknown.
When the military carts arrived at the
scene of the disaster at night the SOL
dters arranged to- have. the children
md aged people get into the carts,
but when the vehicles had gone q few
hundred feet 1t was found that al
though there were four horses har-
messed to each wagon they could not
pull their loads through the deep
ashes in spite of several desperate ef-
forts made to do SO. This caused a
panic among the children, who expect
ed to he buried in the ashes from the
volcano, and they fled in all directions
In the darkness and binding rain and
have not since been heard of. Search
ing parties went after the children, but
in spite of continuous shouting and
calling no trace was found of them
and it is feared that the children have
been snlothered in the ashes.

The concert given by the Singing
club Of Elk Horn, in the gymnasium
hall LIST Friday, was a magnificent
success in every way. The house
was packed to standing room only in
spite of the fact that the weather
was bad and the night extremely
dark. The program was given with
out hitch and more than pleased
the people-ia fact, everyone with
whom we talked, pronounced it far
better than they had expected. Many
say it was better than many of the
high priced shows, touring the coun-
try, and great deal ahead of any
concert given in Elk Horn in late
years. The receipts were something
over $50. At the close of the per-
Torrance, coffee and cake were served,
which added materially to tho pro-
ceeds of the evening. The various
numbers of the program were so
good it is hard to mske any selection
