insane Woman.

Aberdeen, S. d., Sept 8.-The Brown
county authorities are facing an awk-
ward dilemma in the case of an in
sane woman named Mrs. u. Wanttja
of Hecla. A few days ago this woman
was brought here by her nephew and
examined by the board of insanity
which adjudged her insane and COM
mltted her to the insane hospital at
Yankton. The nephew was directed
to care for the woman until an at
tendant could arrive from the hospital
and he took her back to Hecla. Since
then he received notice to bring her
here SO that she could be taken to the
hospital by a female attendant who
was to pass through the city this
morning. The insane woman arrived
and so did the attendant, but they
missed connections and the county is
now anxious to get the woman off its
hands. 1t has requested the nephew
to take the woman back to Hecla but
he has refused, and the authorities do
not want to place the woman in the
county Jail.
The county has sent a telegram to
the Yankton hospital asking how soon
an attendant can be sent here. In the
meantime, the patient will be the guest
of the sheriff. The woman's name is
Mrs. U. Wanttja. She is well known
in Brown county and owns consider.
able property near Aberdeen.

BIG BUILDINGS IN FLAMES.
Fire Adds to Terror Of Situation at
Siedlce.

Fire Adds to Terror Of Situation at
Siedlce.
Siedlce, Russian Poland, Sept. IL
Six buildings In the big bazaar of the
city are now in flames, adding another
terror to the killing and plundering
which has been going on here for the
last forty-eight hours.
Frequent shots and occasional vol
ley firing is still heard in different
parts of the town, but because of the
general panic it is difficult to learn
accurately just what is transpiring.
AS far as it is possible to learn there
have been, up to the present time,
about sixty persons killed and 200
wounded .l.a..
Hundreds of Jews are assembled at
the railroad station awaiting means of
getting out Of town, but Siedlce is
surrounded by troops, who do not per-
nit exit or entrance.
Field guns occupy points of vantage
On the principal streets. .
There seems no doubt that the ter.
rorists are responsible for provoking
the massacre by their fusillades from
roofs and windows on Saturday
against soldiers and policemen who
were patrolling the streets. Troops
surrounded the houses from which
this firing came and poured in volleys
through windows and doors. This
was followed by search of the prem
ises, which soon developed into whole
sale plundering and subsequently into
a massacre and slaughter. The trou-
bic began on Pienkna street and
spread rapidly to large portion of
the town. Almost all the Jewish shops
have been looted. Owners who de-
Tended their property were killed or
wounded. Any person seen leaving a
house or looking out of window was
shot without mercy.

The STATE FAIR,

The Minnesota state fair is
getting to be a big institution,
just how big those who have not
been fortunate enough to attend
it recently, and some of those
who have, do not realize until
they see figures of attendance
and receipts in type. This year
nearly 100000 people saw the
fair, and the cash receipts were
100000. " --...-
This is the high record, and
beats last year by $4,000 in at
tendance, and So, 106 in receipts.
The difference would undoubt-
eddy have been far greater but
for the hot spsll which detracted
from the attendance the closing
days, and but for the G.. A. r
encampment, which drew a large
share of the country crowds to
the cities a couple of weeks age,
where they usually wait for the
fair week rates.
The fair is growing into, if it
has not already attained, national
prominence, and the people Of
the state should and do take q
deep interest and pride in it's
success.
