ILLUSTRATED SONG
AT THE MARVEL
Little Jim

The cottage was matched one.
The outside old and mean.
Yet everything within the cot
Was wonderous neat and clean.
The night was dark and stormy,
The wind was bowling wild.
A patient mother sat beside
The death bed of her child.
A little worn out creature,
Its once bright eyes grow dim,
He was a GOLFERS child
And they called him Little Jim.
Oh. to see the briny tears
Fast coursing down her cheeks
AS she offered up a prayer in thought,
She was afraid to speak.
With gentle, trembling hands
She raised the tea-cup to his lips,
He smiles to thank her.
Then he takes three tiny little sips.
Tell father when he comes from work
] said good night to him,
And. mother, now I'll SO to sleep
Alas. poor Little Jim.

YANKToN ROAD SURVEY.
Report Says il viii be Completed by
First Of the Year

A dispatch to the Yankton Press
and Dakotan from Guthrie. Okla.
says;
Fremont Hin OF Cincinnati, presi.
dent of the Yankton Wichita and
Houston railroad, spent the past week
In southern Kansas. Oklahoma and
Indian Territory consulting with en-.
gineers who are making the survey
from Maple City, Kansas to Benning-
ton, |. T., distance of 300 miles. He
came direct from Yankton. where ar.
rangements have been made for con.
structing that end of the road. his In.
tention being to connect the Dakotas
with the gulf and thus give the wheat
growers an outlet for export via Gal
weston.
The engineers have been at work on
the Kansas-lndian Territory portion
of the line since February, much OF
the time being spent in Wichita on
profles. President Hill made a per
sonal inspection of the proposed route
between Wichita and Cleveland, Okla
in the gas belt. via Wellington, Kans.
Ashton, Peckham and the Otoe Indian
reservation in Oklahoma, thence fol
lowing the Arkansas river to Cleve
land. A former survey made to Cleve
land via Douglas, Kans., will he aban
doned because of steep grades and
sharp curves.
The survey in the territories will be
completed within two months and the
surveying gang In Texas is also ex
pected to get through by that time
completing the entire survey from
Yankton to the gulf. 1t was originally
intended to route the road via Ponca
City, Okla, but President Hill vetoed
that part of the route because of an
increased mileage that he desires tc
avoid. Instead of following the Ar
kansas river near Ponca City, an all
line across Kay county to the river
will be made. and thence to Cleveland

PRAIRIE FIRE ON ROSEBUD

SETTLERS HAD HARD FIGHT

As Yet il is impossible to Tell How
Much Serious Damage Has Resulted
From the Fire-spread Out Several
Miles in Width.
Gregory, S. D., Oct. 13.-Special to
The News: A vast prairie fire ragged
all day along the line of Tripp and
Gregory counties five miles west OF
Gregory all day. The fire started some
nine or ten miles southwest Of Greg
ory near the Tripp county line and
has been driving due north all day be-
fore a strong south wind. The set
tiers along the line In this county had
hard fight all day to keep the FIRE
confined to the open prairie in Trip
county as It endeavored to break over
the line a number OF times into ada
cent corn and stubble-nelds. Your
which the fire could be plainly and dis.
tinctly seen eating its way to the
north, lighting the sky with a lurid
glare and sending up great clouds OF
smoke. 1t is still burning furiously
and has swept over an area many
miles in extent. 1t has been impos-
sible TO learn at this time Of any Sc
rious damage other than thousands Of
tons Of hay. 1t was burning fiercely
opposite the Bull creek country, some
twenty-five miles north OF where It
started. II has spread out until it is
several miles in width now. Hard
fighting all day on the part Of the set
tiers along the line is all that has pre-
vented the burning of many farm
houses In the contiguous territory.

FOR MlSUSING THE MAILS.
West Point Woman Has Been Arrested
on Serious CHARGE.

West Point Republican: For more
than two years an anonymous letter
writer has been abroad in this city.
Letters of the most scandalous nature
and greatest indecency were addressed
to prominent people of this city. some
of them going through the mails,
while others were dropped promiscu-
ously on the streets. So long as the
contents of these letters were devoted
to very reputable gentleman on
Wall" street, little, if any, effort was
made by the local pOstoffice people to
detect the guilty party. But, by and
by, these letters took a wider range
and viciously assailed the characters
Of some of the most respectable wo-
men of the town. And this, too, with
out any provocation whatsoever, the
writer indulging in wholesale slander
without sense or reason. When things
reached a most aggravated stage, the
postmaster presented the matter to
the postoffice department with the re-
quest that it be given immediate at.
tention. An inspector was detailed on
the case and, coming to West Point.
he laid plans for the detection of the
offenders. In little while his efforts
were crowned with success. certain
occurrences pointing strongly to the
guilt of certain middle-aged lady Of
this city. During the latter part Of
September the inspector laid the mat
ter before the federal grand jury in
Omaha and an indictment was prompt
ly returned. The suspected woman
was taken to Omaha Wednesday.
where she will be required to answer
the charge in federal court.

Miss Josephine Butterfeld daugh-

Glass presidency at Wellesley car

years past this fact has been attested
by other Nebraska Wellesley girls.
AS a result the name of a Norfolk girl
