they tried to save themselves
from freezing.
OF course they were certain
that someone would see the fire,
for the prairie is level and the
house was large. Hour after
hour the little family renamed
in the barn, the weather growing
colder each minute. Would
morning never come? why
didn't father see the flames and
come with good warm clothes
and take the young man and his
wife ana child to a good warm
home not more than q mile dis
| tant? They danced abontn the
Darn anu tried in vain to keep
from freezing.
No Que saw the flames and in a
little while they saw their home
a heap OF ashes and $500 worth
of household goods, clothing,
watches, and money gone up i'll
smoke. Hour after hour the lit
tie family watched and prayed in
vain and with the morning light
they were given renewed cour-
age, perhaps by the Giver OF all
| things. At ten O'Clock no one
came in sight and they talked
/ the terrible predlcament over,
the brave little wife bearing up
well under such an experience.
The husband arms aud hands
were SO badly frozen that he
could not touch Il thing without
suffering untold agony. 1t was
agreed that the hus band should
Jump on one OF the work horses
and ride to his fathers home and
summon help. His wife helped
him onto the horse and he start
ed out through three feet Of
snow, the horse unable to 90
faster than q walk. When with
in a short distance OF the father $
house, Mr.. Buntain saw his boy,
doing his best to remain ast1lde
the horse, but weaving from one
side to the other. The father
and nother son rushed out and
carried the young man into the
! house and the son was sent post
fha>te fOr the poor woman and
the little baby.
They we're soon safe in q good
warm house and receiving care
ful attention.
The baby did not seem to be
suffering in the least. Mrs. Bun
tain is suffering untold agony
from the terrible condition OF
her feet, but no III consequences
are feared. Mr.. Buntain's feet
are also terribly frozen, but the
burns are considered the most
serious.

was followed by members of the army
and navy societies in Washington.
Last OF all came the general public,
thousands of whom had been line sew
eral hours, waiting for their turn. and
for the time being the doors OF the
white house were open to all. There
were old and young white and colored,
men and women. The plan for floral
decorations was simple, the desire be-
ing to give as much room as possible
for the free movement Of the large
number of guests. Yet all available
inches and corners were utilized for the
setting OF potted plants. while the man
tells were fragrant with cut flowers OF
various kinds. Better weather for the
occasion could not have been desired.
The sun shone brightly, and It's warmth
dispelled the dampness rising from the
ground as the result OF the rain of the
past few days. To the thousands who
stood In line for hours this was partic-
ularly agreeable, and made their wait
less uncomfortable than usual on a
winter morning.

ed, st. Nicholas Tsbuderewtz, asserts
that the majority of the foremost Rus

General Trepoff died last September,
Gossips whisper that she loved him
passionately, and that losing him
wrecked her wits.
But her condition is explained on
less romantic grounds. Trepoff, the
"iron-fisted," was the mainstay of the
dynasty, and was specially charged
the imperial family.
When he passed away they We're de-
prived of their most efficient protect

unbounded confidence in his ability to

WATERWAYS in GRIP OF ROADS.
Garfield Finds River Transportation
Controlled by Railways.

Chicago, Jan. IA Washington spe-
cial to the Chicago Tribune says: That
the country is in the monopolistic grip
of railroads is established more clear
ly than ever by an investigation by
Commissioner of Corporations Garfield
is making into the effect of water
transportation on railroad rates.
For several weeks past there has
been quietly under way an inquiry in
to the relations Of railroads with canals
and steamship and canal boat lines.
The facts unearthed demonstrate
that the railroads have their hands
upon the water transportation, both In
land and coastwise, and that working
arrangement even exists with ocean
steamship companies. The ability of
railroads to maintain non-competitive
rates and to discriminate between diff
ferent sections of the country, thus
becomes apparent.
In some places reports show that in
summer shipments by water are %
to so per cent less than by rail and
that in winter, when boats cannot run,
railroads increase their rates.
