FIGHT OVER PACKING PLANT.
Move to Have Sioux Falls Company
Declared Bankrupt.

A suit has been commenced in the
United States court by which 1t is
sought to have the Sioux Falls Pack
ing company declared an involuntary
bankrupt. The order to show cause
is returnable before Judge Garland on
April 20, when the defendant company
will be required to show cause why
1t should not be adjudged an involun-
tary bankrupt
1t is alleged in the application OF
the creditors that the company is IN
solvent and that within four months
next preceding the date of the appll-
cation the company committed an act
of bankruptcy, in that a receiver,
Charles A. Wiley, of Sioux Falls, was
appointed by the state circuit court
for the company.
1t is further alleged in the petition
that the receiver now remains in
charge of all the property Of the COM
pany. The packing company was Or
ganized about two years ago and con-
structed a plant on the Sioux river, in
the northern part of the city. The
plant was operated for time, but
some weeks ago went into the hands
of a receiver, who, after giving the
necessary published notice, recently
sold the plant to w. H. Green, of Ban
gor, S. d.
For some unknown reason the fact
that the plant was sold by the re-
oeiVer is ignored in the petition of the
creditors who by the present suit now
seek to have the company declared an
involuntary bankrupt

FIRE is TANNED BY A GALE
Canton Blaze Causes Twenty Thou
sand Dollar Loss.

sand Dollar Loss.
The firecest and most destructive
fire in the history Of Canton occurred
Friday morning during a terrific
northwest gale, which carried burning
chunks of wood from the Mutual
Lumber company's yard several blocks
towards the Sioux river, and even
across into Iowa
At 1890 the fire alarm was given.
and in few minutes the entire upper
story of the big double shed of the
Mutual Lumber company was blazing
| fifty feet high under pressure of 4
| fifty-mile gale.
The firemen worked like heroes ana
saved the. Bowman-Kranz lumber
yard across the street over which the
blaze rolled at times.
Burning embers set fire several
times and finally consumed the Mil
waukee pump house, on the river
bank, five blocks away. At 2 o'clock
| the fire was under control, but o. one
hour and half $4,000 worth OF
lumber and shingles had been con-
sumed.
The platform of the Milwaukee de-
pot and other railroad property was
on fire at times, but hundreds Of
watchers were able to keep the fire
from spreading while three engines
hauled freight cars out Of danger
The fire was without doubt of in
cendiary origin. The loss is about
$4,000; insurance, $4,000. C. L.
Pray of Lake City, Ia, and Canton
men owned the property which was
DESTROYED.

FOR Getty BEAUTIFUL"
Plans Perfected by Women's Clubs of
Aberdeen.

The committees on park and edu-
cation of the Aberdeen Federation of
Women's Clubs have perfected plans
which they believe will result in Civ
ing great impetus to the campaign for
a beautiful city, a campaign in which
every woman in the city is more or
less interested. The park committee
has employed a landscape architect,
and it proposes to beautify the library
and school grounds by planting shrub
berry and trees and laying out plots for
flowers and walks. The COM
mittee on education announces several
prizes to school pupils for the best es-
says on how to make the city look
beautiful. This contest is open to stu
dents at the high school and pupils
in the graded schools.

QUAKE RUINS TOWNS
lAT LEAST TWO MEXICAN CITIES
COMPLETELY DESTROYED.
ShociSs Along the Gulf Coast Continue
and People Are i'm Panic-Goyern-
mcnt Rushes Troops and Tents to
the Stricken Districts.

Ghilpancingo, Mexico, has been
completely destroyed by an earth
quake which occurred Monday. The
known dead number eleven and the
badly injured twenty-seven. The
greatest panic prevails and people are
fleeing to the open country. The
earth continues to rock at half hour
intervals and many minor shocks are
completing the work Of destruction.
Word has reached Chilpancingo
that the city of Chilapa, forty-two kill
ometers to the northeastward, also
has been destroyed. No details have
been received as to the number of
dead and injured. The population of
Chilpancingo is 7,49S, and until the
been thrown abates it will be impossi-
BILE to state the number of casualties.
The population of Chilapa is 1900.
No word has been received from
TiXtla, and it is feared it also has
been destroyed. According to the
movement of the earthquake Tixtla
would be in its direct line.
All communication with the west
coast has been cut off since the mo-
ment of the first big shock, and it is
not known to what extent that region
suffered. The nearest large town, Ac-
apulca, 131 kilometers to the south
west Of Chilpancingo, has not been
heard from.
The official record Of the meteoro-
logical bureau gave the duration of
the earthquake at Mexico City Sun
day night as four minutes. The move
ment was from east to west, in an
oval shape. The needle first describ-
ed ten centimeters, and later twenty
one, then it swung completely out of
the dial, leaving the exact strength of
the shock matter Of conjecture. The
observer declared that the center of
the shock was probably to the south
ward, and it is feared that towns in
*hat region may have suffered.

ABANDON WORK ON WE'LL
Drillers Fail at Iroquois After Going
Down ZOO Feet.

Very bad luck has been experienced
by drillers who for some little time
have been at work sinking an arte-
sion we'll at Iroquois. When the drill
had reached a depth of nearly 1000
feet work was stopped and an effort
made to put down the three-inch cas-
ing, but the hole had become clog~ed
to such an extent that the pipe could
not be forced to depth OF more than
600 feet. Efforts were made to drill
out the hole, but these have resulted
unsuccessfully and work on the we'll
has had to be abandoned. The drillers
now have moved their machine away
and will drill an entirely new hole in
the hope of being able to strike a good
flow of water.

who would have brought up bis
children to walk honestly as in
the day. We trust We have a
good conscience, he seemed to
hear his father saying, in all
things willing to live honestly.
He recollected how he had been
touched when boy by the music
of his fathers voice as he read,
"Whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just, what
soeyer things are pure, whatso-
ever things are lovely, whatso-
ever things are of good report,
if there be any virtue, and if
there be any praise, think on
these things.
Ay, ay, and do them! Mr..
Averill cried, springing to his
feet. He brought the long wallet
from his pocket, and opening it
| took out the folded sheet of paper
and laid it on the Goals. In a
moment the fire had caught it.
The fame rolled blue up the
chimney; and then on the black
scroll the sparks followed the
writing and still distinctly traced
the signature of Andrew Folsom
there, as one by one reluctantly
they died. He took a splinter Of
the wood and beat in into dust.
And then he went and washed
his hands. Thank God Thank
God /! he cried. I am an honest
man!
There was a tap on his door,
and the little daughter of his
landlady came in with a bouton-
Mere of myrtle-leaf from the
plant in her mothers south win
dow. 1t is for you to wear on
Thanksgiving Day, she said, as
she held it up.
I will wear it now, then, he
answered, as he bent and kissed
the wondering child. For it is
going to be Thanksgiving Day
for me the rest of my life
He looked at the black ashes
on the hearth, after the child had
gone. "If he offer it for a Thanks.
giving" he said, "then he shall
offer with the sacrifice of thanks
giving" God knows it is a
sacrifice, for now I must aban-
don hope. But what possessed
my fathers son, my mothers,
that he should have conceive d
this thing, should have begun itG
Oh, thanks be to God that giveth
us the victory
He put the spray of myrtle in
his buttonhole, and got into his
greatcoat and went out.
