PRINTING AT HOME.

PRINTING AT HOME.
At the last session of the legislature,
number of efforts were made to pass
laws which would operate against the
interests Of the local newspapers of
the state. Most OF them were defeated
as they deserved to be. But one thing
which does more to injure the small
newspapers of this state than any
thing else, including the legislation in
Dictated, is the habit of sending to out
of town print shops for work which
can be done in the local ones.
The merchants in the smaller towns
have made persistent fight on the
mail order houses, and have been as
sisted by the local press. 1t has been
fight against one of the most per-
nicious practices in the country, and
one which has done more injury to the
legitimate business of the commune
ties practicing it than almost any other
single thing. But it is no worse than
the policy Of sending the printing to
houses which are in different cities,
even when in the same state.
The Evening Times has always adj
vocated the policy OF keeping the
printing which can be done in the To-
cal Offices at home. The local papers
are required to pay their share OF the
taxes and to bear their share OF the
public burdens. The outside Office
does neither. and whether the work
be public or private, the local office is
entitled to it. The conducting OF
local newspaper is altogether different
from any other business. A merchant
may become dissatified with his loca-
ton and remove his stock of goods to
another point. 4 blacksmith may do
the same thing. But a newspaper
carries as a part OF its capital the
confidence OF the public and a know!-
edge Of local conditions which can
only be acquired after years of work.
The proprietor of such paper. cam
not take these things with him to a
new location. In fact if he removes.
he is compelled to start from the very
beginning in his new location.
The community in which news
paper is conducted is always more
prosperous because of the publication
OF such paper. 1t is the means of
securing new business enterprises
from which the entire community
profits. 1t is responsible for the de-
velopment of the country which adds
specifically to the income of every
one engaged in business. 1t is there
fore not charity. but business Justice
to give to such an enterprise the bust.
ness of the community which belongs
to its particular line.
To be specific. 1t is only justice to
the local newspaper to give it all the
work OF the community which it is
equipped to do, and it should receive
this work without any effort on its
part to secure it. Foreigners who pa,
no taxes, who contribute nothing tt
the building up OF the community
who would refuse to publish a boost
for the town unless paid advertisine
rates for so doing, deserve no part o
the local printing business.

The Heroes.

lut nelOeSs
The deeds of heroism performed by
passengers entitle them to bravery
medals. Many risked their lives in
the attempt to pull dead or injured
from the burning wreckage. Ike Nc
Gowan, the popular Roach Candy
traveller of this city, was one of those
whom more than a score owe debt
of gratitude. Eye witnesses paint a
picture of little brave man rushing
Irantically into the flames, Drawing
death in dozen forms, to reappear
with a burden Of inanimate humanity.
"Newsy" Green, who was on the
train, was another of the workers. He
it was stood in water two feet deep
for nearly hall an hour working
frantically tearing away wreckage,
and jumbled rods, to release Fireman
Curtiss, who was pinned beneath the
baggage care. The car was burning
briskly, and it was a wierd spectacle,
a man toiling in the water with the
lurid flames coming closer and closer.
Auditor Winship was another of the
brave hearts. On one of his excur-
sions into the interior of a burning
car, the flames and oppressive heat
proved too much for human endurance
and he tainted away, falling half I'M
der seat and in the aisle. This was
after the rescue work was we'll under
way. and but for the timely discovery
of his body by Ike MCGOWAN and a
colored porter, another fatality would
have been added to the death list.
When the discovery was made, escape
from the ends of the car was cut off
and the limp form was pulled through
window. Mr.. Winships satchel, con-
tanning tickets and supplies, was
saved and brought in by the porter.
Engineer Peter Ferguson, though
himself severely injured, was instru-
mental in saving the life of Mail Clerk
Fodness. When the smash occurred,
everything in the mail car was torn to
splinter wood. 1t was in this CIR that
Harry Jones met tragic death. AS
Clerk Fodness climbed out CT the
wreckage, he noticed the body of Jones
buried beneath the burning timbers.
Forgetting personal safety, he rushed
to the rescue. His clothing caught
fire. It was while he was there tear
ing the body of Jones from the embers.
Engineer Ferguson got IN his work.
He lodged painfully through the.
flames, seized Clerk Fodness and liter
ally carried both Fodness and Jones
into the open air. BY the time safety
was reached, all three vera wrapped
in flames.
The property loss sustained by the
. Great Northern will be fully $4,000,
and possibly more.
At late hour this afternoon the in
5ured were reported resting fairly
well. All will recover.

The lateness of the spring will make
1T all the more necessary that so soon
as the snow is sufficiently melted. the
streets, and especially the alleys, of
the city should be cleaned. The ac-
emulation of winter garbage which in
this climate is unavoidable, is perfect
ly harmless during the winter while
frozen. But the decomposition which
sets in so soon as the suns rays be-
come effective, convert this into germ
ladened and disease spreading matter.
The lateness of spring will naturally
result in warm weather, coming with
greater rapidity than usually, and
the process of decomposition will be
correspondingly more intensified. 1t
is in the interest of the whole COM
munity that this dangerous matter be
removed at the earliest possible date.
The extra issued by the Evening
Times this morning for the purpose
OF giving the large number of people
in the city correct information of the
fearful wreck of Great Northern train

enterprise and progressiveness of this
paper. 1t is not inclined to boast in
advance as to what it will do, but
when occasion arises, it is always
found at the front with the best news
In the most reliable form. Its patrons
deserve this character of service and
the enormous sales of the extra prove
that they appreciate the same.

Charles Woods, travelling represen-

wife this morning from Bartlett that
he came through unscathei, though
badly shaken up. They have apart

The wife and two children of Mayor
Whitman of Devils Lake were on No.

Bartlett. senroute home from Fargo
where the children had been under
going treatment at the barrow hospi-

hearts both in Fargo and Devils Lake
but the atmosphere cleared when
messages telling of their escape, were
received. Mrs. Whitman and children
were in the observation car.

FEAR HE WAS DROWNED.
Washington Boy Disappears While Out
Hunting.

The deepest mystery surrounds the
disappearance and fate Of William,
aged II, son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Cloeter, well known residents of the
little town of washington.
The boy went hunting on a lake
near his home and, not returning at
the expected time, the parents became
uneasy and the father with a number
Of neighbors set out in search of him.
At the lake the searching party found
the boys boat floating around the
lake. 1t was known to be his custom
70 fasten the boat to the shore when
1t was not in use.
The boat was recovered, and in it
was found the boys rifle, a 22-caliber
weapon. One section of the boat also
was pushed out, as though it had been
struck a hard blow with some heavy
weapon, or had been struck violently
with spmeone's feet. From these dis
coveries 1t is feared the boy has been
drowned.
However, a curious feature Of the
matter is that although the lake has
since been carefully dragged, and the
use of dynamite has been resorted to
In hopes Of raising the body, not a
trace of the remains of the body can
oe found.

Shows Value of Herr aity.

A parliamentary candidate was being,
heckled. One Of the questions had ref
erence to the religious denomination to
which he belonged.
"Well," he said, you asked me an
honest question and you shall have a
straightforward answer. My grand,
mother was a Scotch woman-a rigid
Presbyterian"
Obvious disappointment was shown
In the faces Of the audience, so the
candidate proceeded:
MY grandfather was English and
therefore a member Of the Church Of
England"
Still no enthusiasm, but rather the
reverse.
my father, on the other hand, was
a good Baptist" went on the desperate
candidate, who was still unrewarded
by applause. He grew anxious, so hur-
riedly added: but my dear old moth
err long since dead, was Methodist"
Instantly all faces were radiant, so
he concluded:
"And, gentlemen, I follow the pre-
cepts Of my dear old mother. I'm a
Methodist and / don't care who knows

FREAK ARTESIAN WELLS.
Water from SpOuter at Capa Has
Temperature Of 13O Degrees.

Freak wells in the form of great ar
tesian spouters, which send forth VOL
umes of hot water, are being struck
in the region lying between the Mis-
souri, river and the Black Hills, in
western South Dakota, through which
the lines of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and ST Paul and the Chicago and
Northwestern railroads are being con-
structed from the Missouri river to the
Black Hills.
1t was supposed that an artesian
well recently drilled at Presho, which
has a temperature of 99.3 degrees,
was the hottest artesian spouter in
South Dakota, but such proves not to
be the case. The Bad River valley has
several artesian we'll which have wa
ter which is still hotter.
The water In the artesion well at
Capa, one of the new towns on one Of
the railroad extensions, has a temper
ature Of 130 degrees, while the tenn
perature of a spouter at Nowlin Is
still higher. An artesian well Is to be
drilled at the town of Midland, and
as this town lies directly between
Capa and Nowlin it is expected the
water in the we'll will be hotter than
in either Of the others.

DENIES $4,000, 900 LEGACY.
Aberdeen Man Says Uncle Made New
WILL


G. G.. Mason, of Aberdeen, nephew
of the late James Henry Smith, the
New York multi-mllionaire who died
recently in Japan while on his we'd
ding trip, denies emphatically that he
has received word to the effect that
he was left a legacy Of s5,000,000.
While 1T is true Mr. Mason was named
as one Of the executors in a will made
by the deceased some time ago, moth
Ing whatever is known in America of
the terms Of the new will made in
London last fall, shortly after Mr..
Smith marriage to Mrs. Rhinelander
Stewart. There is no reason to sup
pose that Mr.. Mason is not still one
Of the executors and that he has been
remembered in the will, but all re-
ports of legacies are untrue for the
reason that the terms of the will are
known only to one solicitor in London.
A cable has been sent to him for a
copy of the will and it is expected in
New York in about another week,
when Mr.. Mason will leave for the
east to attend a meeting of the heirs.
Besides his widow and daughter, Mr..
Smith had large number of charities
and chf as which will doubtless be
literally remembered.
The deceased was we'll known in
Aberdeen and 1t was principally due
to his efforts that Aberdeen was Sc
lected as a division point on the Mil
waukee railroads extension to the
coast. Mr.. Smith was one of the
largest holders of Milwaukee stock in
the board of directors of that road.

TOWN WILL BE WIPED OUT.
Evarts Will Be Moved Bodily to LIE
Beau-Was LEFT OF the Map

The town of Evarts is to be wiped
off the face Of the map, and in a few
weeks the town, one of the most -four
ishing little cities in South Dakota,
will be moved bodily to lie Beau, the
town recently established by the Min
neapolis and ST. Louis road on the
Missouri river. The move is the result
of the action of the Milwaukee road
in leaving the town off the map when
it surveyed it's trans-continental line
across the river. Instead of crossing
the river at Evarts, the road decided
to cross at Glenham, eight miles to the
north. The people of Evarts optimis-
tically believed they would be taken
care of in some way, but the inexora-
bleness of the road has been demon
strated, and they refuse to follow it
north.

Attorney General Expresses BelieA
that Company or Individual Stock
holders Should Proceed Against Al.
legged Conspirators.

Attorney General Stead, of Spring
Gov Deneen, of Illinois. Saturday, ex-
pressed doubt as to whether ii Is the
province of the state of Illinois to
proceed against E. III. Hartman and
his associates for the alleged manipu.
lation of the Chicago and Alton rail-
road property. If the state should
revoke the company's charter the loss
would fall upon the stockholders, the
Hartman people already having dis
posed of a large portion of their hold
therefore, that the best plan would
be for the company itself to seek
remedy of the situation, or even for
one or more stockholders to act. At
the same time Mr.. Stead assures the
governor that, should he become con-
vinced on further investigation that
he state can relieve the roads condi-
ton, he will make the necessary
moves at once.
Notwithstanding his convictions as
to the wisdom Of immediate action,
Mr.. Stead insists there is not the least
doubt that civil remedy exists against
the ''financiers who have wrecked this
prosperous railroad company and at
the expense of innocent stockholders
and bondholders, have gathered to
themselves a harvest of millions of
dollars"
