sKYscRApER DOOMED.
New York Building Regulations made
Limit Of a5o Feet.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE doom OF
the modern skyscraper has probably been
sounded in the city by drastic regula-
tions which have been adopted unani-
mously by the building code commission.
Tltse regulations provide that after
January first next. no new building
shall be over $50 feet in height.
The new law is aimed to stop the
feyerish race for the construction OF
high buildings. That q limit must be
fixed some where has been the advice
Of noted fire underwriting experts and
Fire Chief Corker himself has sounded
the warning. The fire insurance inter
ests shave feared that the forty-one
story Singer Building might be follow
ed next BY fifty story structure.
That the new regulation will be passed
by the Board Of Estimate and the aid
ermen before it finally becomes a law
Is regarded as likely, since several OF
che city's best known builders. are mem
bers of the Commission voted for it.
They all agreed it was advisable to call
. halt in the construction Of forty story
buildings, through Theodore Starrett,
who is member Of the Commission, ex-
pressed the opinion that skyscraper
could 90 700 feet high and be perfectly
safe provided it was of real fire proof
construction. More than two scores OF
the city's best known skyscrapers ex-
ceed the deadline fixed BY the new line.
OF course these buildings are not af-
fected by the new regulations.

Perhaps one Of the saddest acct
dents that has ever occurred in this
vicinity, was the way in which little
Erna Zimmerman met her death last
Thursday morning, says the Morgan
Messenger. Mr.. Zimmerman, the
unfortunate child's father, started,
out on horseback to drive herd of,
cattle to his brothers farm, about
two miles distant. Erna, in COM
pany with her twin sister, followed
behind for short distance. One of
the cattle in the herd started to run
back to the pasture, from which the
herd was being driven, and Mr.. Zim-
mermann, turning his horse to head
off the tramway, struck his little
girl, not noticing that she was SO
close to him, knocking the child
down and the heavy hoofs of the
horse, on which he was riding,
crushed the child's skull. The little
girl died within an hour.
News Messenger: Mr.. Tom j.
Baldwin arrived in NJ arshall Tuesday
night from his Minneapolis trip,
were he went to bring home his new
ly bought Haines automobile. But
he did not bring it home. Tom says
he had lot of valuable experience
and enjoyed it immensely, but here
after he proposes to put in most Of
his time as a missionary in the good
roads improvement. There is not
| five miles Of decent road between
Minneapolis and Marshall, and while
he managed to get his machine over
the roads with the greatest difficulty
as far as the Minnesota river at Red
wood Falls, it remained for him to
get stuck beyond the possibility Of
going further, near Milroy, in Lyon
county. This pretty nearly confirms
the statement recently made by a
state engineering official, that Lyon
county possessed the worst roads in
the state. Tom garaged his ma
chine in a barn at Milroy, and with
the companion took livery team
for Marshall, having been on the
road from Friday morning till Tues
day night.

Items Of Interest Taken from the
Country Papers.

Vesta Censor: Alex. Jedlicka re-
turned to Vesta Tuesday afternoon
from Minneapolis, where he has
been attending the law department
of the state university, during the
winter and spring months.
Morgan Messenger: That terra
firma is not depreciating in value in
these parts is quite apparent by the
purchase recently made by Carl
Frederick of Morgan township. He
purchased on Saturday 80 acres of
the Gilfillan land, consideration $50
per acre.
Speaking Of the old settlers re-
union at Olivia, June 18th and 18th,
the Review says: Senator LaFollette
from Wisconsin will be here on the
afternoon of the first day and de-
liver an address. In the evening of
the day rousing camp fire will be
held at the Armory for the benefit
of the old settlers, and speakers
from all parts Of the county will be
heard on subjects pertaining to the
early days of the county.
It will be a fine thing to get our
school children interested in the
county fair. In Mcleod county Supt.
Harrington asked the directors of
the county fair to erect for him a
building to be devoted exclusively to
school exhibits. The directors met
in Hutchinson and without dissent
ing vote granted the request and the
building will be ready for the next
fair in September. 1t will be a
permanent structure 24x58 feet in
size, with eight foot posts.
Madison Press: A card came in
our mail Wednesday asking refer
ence for young man of our &C
quaintance. Among other questions
were these: Does he drink? Does
he smoke? Does he chew? Does he
swear? On the bottom Of the card
was small line informing the read
er that if the young man was adj
dicted to either of these habits he
was not wanted. Fortunately, in
this case, the answer NO. could
be placed after each question. This
item is printed here to call the atten-
ton Of our young men to the fact
that those who are employing men
these days are getting particular.
