Danger of Prairie Fires.

There have been several bad prairie
fires along the railroad southwest of
Morris the past week, and especially
near Clontarf there was large
amount of hay destroyed. On Mon
day d fire swept over hay land be-
tween here and Hancock, and several
stacks burned.
There is great danger of disast-
rous fire getting started in the west
ern part of the county, where not
only the fields would be burned over
but buildings would be destroyed. In
some places there is an accummula-
ton of two or three years of rank
growth that is now as dry as finder,
and the wonder is that it has not
caught fire before this. There are
many vacant farms in that section
with good buildings, and on account
of the rank growth all around the
building, a fire there will destroy
everything.
There is hardly any portion of the
county but what adequate fire brakes
would be a wise precaution.

Farmers are advised to hold their
small grains for the present or until
the money market becomes settled.
Space does not permit our going into
lengthy discussion of the great
slump in the grain market, but those
who are in doubt about marketing
their grain should consult some
banker Or grain dealer. 1t takes an
enormous amount of actual money to
move the crop, both on account of
the high prices paid, and the fact
that the weather has been favorable
for hauling. On the other hand, the
railroads are moving the crop slow,
and the result is that even the largest
firms have not the money to make
the customary advances which are
necessary in the grain business The
situation is almost unprecedented,
but it is expected that the market
will become steady again as soon as
the rush is stopped.

Death of Mrs. Powers.

Catherine Elizabeth Powers, wife OF
Barney Powers died after short
illness with diabetes on Wednesday
Oct. 23rd. The announcement of her
serious illness the first of the week
was unexpected and wide spread
sympathy was expressed for her
husband and family. Mrs. Powers
was not active in society, but she
was good wife and mother, and in
that humble sphere, her work has
been most worthy, and she reared a
fine family of worthy children. Death
calls many from larger sphere of
usefulness, but few are called who
better filed her place than Mrs
Powers.
Deceased was born in st. Paul Nov.
-, 1861, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Donovan. She was married
about twenty years ago, and leaves
four children, Frank, of Minot, N. D.
and Loretta, Walter and Ralph, at
home. One daughter is dead.
The largely attended funeral was
held from the Assumption church
yesterday morning. Relatives present
from away besides Frank were
Lawrence Powers, of Waterton, Wis.
