HOMES ARE RAYAGED
BY PRAIRIE FIRES
BeadIe County Swept by Fire
Fiend and Much Valuable
Property Destroyed.

Huron, S, D., April 17.--Smoke, dust
and ashes driven by a heavy wind en-
circled the city yesterday so thiolkly
that the sun could not break through
as the result of prairie fires which
swept the country TO the north and
east of Huron. The town of Bradland
has suffered loss by prairie fires to the
extent of several thousand dollars.
Among the buildings burned arc the
Northwestern station n water tank
the Atlas lumber yard, Atlas elevator
with several thousand bushels of grain,
the Holland hotel and a private house.
Nearer to this city the Great Northern
bridge across the Jim river was badly
damaged and all of the buildings ON
the Morrow ranch were burned with
the exception of the dwelling. l.. b.
Parkhurst lost all of his farm build
ings, implements and grain. A school
house in Grant township was des-
troyed. The home of Ed HINES, west
of this city, was burned, and Mrs.
Kimes received burns of a serious
character.
Big Loss of Property.
Cattle, grain, barns, sheds and 9TH
er property was destroyed in large
quantities and the loss can not yet
be estimated. So far as known, no
lives were lost, but many have been
more or less burned while fighting the
by hundreds to help check the progress
of the fires.
Reports from the country to the
west of Huron tell of two fires in
Sully county near the river, burning
over large areas of territory, but so
far as known neither human life nor
stock was lost, but exposed buildings
and hay were devoured by the hungry
flames in all parts of the territory
within the scope of the fire.

communication. wrote to O'Connell
regarding the delay, to which he re-
FLIED as follows:-
."Mr. O'Connell presents his COM

the utmost concern. begs to inform
him that the delay has been caused
by a circumstance of the. most painful
nature-his having been put under ar

INSCRIBED to My Mother.)
(suggested by the illustrious painter
Murillo's celebrated picture Of the Na-
tivtty of the Infant Jesus in the Stable
of Bethlehem.)
Like buoyant birds that scorn the nest,
And long to try frail, downy wings.
The snow fell on the earth's brown
breast,
The shackled stream captive,

Hoarse winds are shrieking with de.
light,
Their maniac message all forlorn,
Two thousand years ago tonight.
The Prince Of Peace, our Lord. was
born!
Upon the dusk brow of the night,
A splendid star blazed like q gem.
A wind-swept beacon, for it's light,
Flushed the bleak plain Of Bethle-
Gray, hoary sages strained their eyes,
And marveled at its elfln glow
Our Saviours birth mark in the skies.
The Light that leads us here below.

Mr.. Peel's movements do not seem to
have been interfered with by the au-
thorities at all. but O'Connell had
much difficulty in avoiding them, even
before he left ireland.
On the night Of the 9Th Of Septem.
ber Mr.. Peel sailed for England. with
out let or hindrance. Although the
Government knew he was in England,
and the business which brought him
there, no action was taken concerning
him. After being about six days in
that, country, we find him at Dover.
on the 18th of. September His arrival
at that seaport was announced in the
Sun" newspaper, and the object Of his
journey plainly stated. He reached
Ostend on the 18th.
O'Connell went to the South Of Ire-
land to look for vessel that would
bring him all the way by water. fear.
ing that IL he crossed England he
would be arrested. Such vessel could
not be found. The police were watch.
ing for him at every port. 1.-THE names
OF Mr.. o'Connell and Mr.. Lidwell were
respectively noted. and their desc:ip-
tlens taken by officers stationed tor
the purpose at Milford Haven and
Holyhead." They, however, got to
London; Mr.. Lidwell by Holyhead.
OConnell from the south. In London
passports were secured from the Dutch
Ambassador for. 0'Connell and his
that they should start next morning,
before daylight. OConnell was to 70
by Brighton and his friends to Calais.
But the Government police. who al
lowed Mr.. Peel not only to pass un-
molested through England. but to
spend about a week in it, were 90
much for O'Connell. - They arrested
him at four o'clock in the morning. as
he was entering carriage to proceed
from his hotel (Holyhead's. in the
Strand) to the Continent. Lavender
was the officer who arrested Mr.. O'Con-
nell, by virtue Of a warrant from the
Lord Chief Justice. $50 completely
was Mr.. O'Connell pursued by the
winged messengers of the law that the
officer had information Of the time
when the post-chaise was ordered. He
was also furnished with an accurate
description of Mr.. O'Connell's person,
which he showed that gentleman. after
he took him into custody" He was
conveyed in a coach to the police mag
istrates at Bow street, escorted by
forty picked constables. He, was then
bound over to keep the peace towards
Mr.. Peel and Sir Charles Saxton, and
not to leave England for the purpose
o. lighting either Of them. The rec,g-
nizance was taken before SIR Simon
LIE Blanc. The terms Of it we1e:-
That Mr.. O'Connell shall keep the
peace-himself in bond Of $1,000
and two sureties in $500 each. Mr..
o'Connell's sureties were Mr.. o'Neill
and Mr.. Patterson.
His recognizance in Ireland was
10000.
The affair thus being arrested, i'm
mediate notice was sent by letter to
Mr.. Peel at ostend, and all parties re-
turned to their avocations in ireland.

~ represented but on smaller scale.
Wherever a child lives, this idealiza-
tton Of childhood is placed before their
eyes and its meaning is taught them
by lips which cherish the names o.
the two great saints and Gods Son.
Small candles cast their brave little
light over the scene. and in this place
the family prayers are said.
So common is the custom Of having
= shrine in every house that small
cribs are sold in the streets in the
same plentiful abundance as toys arc
offered on our streets at Christmas
time. All sizes are for sale and ev-
cry taste as well as every purse may
be met and satisfied.
To see a child holding tightly to
her breast little basket filled with
cotton. in which lies most diminu-
tive image Of the. Infant Savior, and
t. note the long earnest looks Of at
on it, is to live again our childhood
hours when all the world was one
great wonder and the realities Of life
had a vividness Of which they have
been robbed by too constant and
prosaic association.
Directly opposite the crib, stil)
thronged with visitors, q platform
has been erected and from this, tho
children in little speeches and s.r-
mons explain the meaning Of the crib
which they are facing. Their shriil
piping voices sound above the mur-
nlur of admiration which rises when
every group catches sight Of tie man
ger. and We strain our attention to
hear what these little human cherubs
have to narrate.
Words learned by rote for some
weeks past como from their mouths
with smiles and rolling Of the eyes
and gesticulations, they tell us the
whole story Of the dark night and tine
cave. then with pretty bow and a
last smile Of farewell, they Withdraw
to- give room to another.
The desire to speak is so great
that sometimes a dispute arises over
the right of precedence. Another lit
tie girl forgot her lines and insists
or having another trial even though
some have not yet made their first ap-
pearance. A little boy has been
dressed in cassock and surplice and
with all the wisdom Of his seven years
he expounds the great anxiety and
sorrow Of the Madonna and the
shame to Bethlehem that there should
be no room at tho inn for our Re.
deemer. little child Of poverty in
her threadbare garments sweetly
tells Of the angels song and is fol-
lowed by q child Of wealth, placed
on tho platform by a liveried foot
man.
Such gestures and tragic intona-
ttons and clasping of hands add to
the enjoyment Of those who listen,
while tho whole gamut Of maternal
love and pride may be witnessed in
the mothers faces. Darkness alone
puts an end to these recitals by the
children. and. while there Is some
weeping over their disappointment,
they will reappear tomorrow and have
the joy. which was denied them today.
. Aud all during the days until the
Epiphany. we too shall be present and
share in their simple delight in think
Ing and telling Of the Lord Christ.
who was born in a cave at Bethlehem
so many years ago. and was adored
by shepherds who were feeding their

He rules the North, the South, the
West;
He Yields the lightning's lance of
fire,
And hurls the bolt 'thwart shaggy
sea,
He curbs the fierce volcanoes ire,
And bids red roses nurse the bee.
A pure. stainless maid, his mother
smiled,
AS on her breast he nestled warm,
She soothed and cherished and be-
guiled
The Dove Divine, who dared the
storm.
No courtiers cringed beneath his nod,
No lackeys fawned upon his word.
Guided like babe the Son of God,
Cooed to his mother like bird.
The mother gazed upon the Child,
With prescience of the coming
years,
Mary the Virgin Undefiled.
Smiled at the infant through her
tears.
She saw the cross on Calvary plain,
She heard the dying Saviour's moan,
The Crown Of Tnorns weighed on her
brain,
The Roman legtons Knocked His
groan.
And wise men journeyed from afar,
To view the wondrous babe divine,
Led by the splendid sparkling star
The Hope of our erring wayward
line.
And hoary age knelt to the child.
Sole refuge of our guilty race,
The Heavenly hostage blithely smiled,
And brought the world celestial
grace.
Hope Of the world, the sages cried,
The Babe Of which our Prophets
told,
You crushed the naughty serpent's
pride,
And brought the lamb within the
fold.
Some splendid pagans sang your
praise,
Doomed like thief to die in pain,
On Calvary's Cross to end your days,
And crucified on Golgotha's plain.
And wise men sought the Saviour's
shrine,
And pilgrims journeyed from afar.
To gaze upon the Babe Divine.
AS sailors hail the evening star.
A rude stable was their dwelling
place.
Where cattle shivered in the cold,
And yet the shepherds sought his
Which poets sung, and prophets

They prayed to Him in foreign tongue,
Incense they brought Him, rich and
rare,
Jewels and gold, and yet He clung,
The closer to His mothers care.
Her arms then circumscribed His
reign,
And guided we'll His baby stride,
Safely they shielded Him from pain,
To slumber lulled Him by her side.
Their crystal challenge to the sky,
Keen Christmas bells are flinging
gay,
Their mellow murmurs, pealing high,
Proclaim their blithesome rounde-
lay.
What matter IL our purse is light,
So are our hearts that bear no
scorn--
Two thousand years ago tonight,
The Prince of Peace. our Lord, was
