Prairie Fire Causes Damage of Per-
haps 100000.
Dallas. S. D., Nov. "A prairie fire
near here burned over an area esti-
mated at more than sixty square
miles, destroying farm and ranch
property valued at perhaps 100000
and resulting in dangerous burns to
two persons who were caught by the
flames.
Mr.. and Mrs. William McGrieve, liv-
Ing north Of Lamro, attempted to es.
cape with a single horse, which be-
came exhausted, and they we're
stranded in the middle of the prairie.
By starting a back fire they escaped
with serious burns.
About twenty ranchmen and home
seekers suffered losses.
At one time Lar1ro was completely
surrounded Hy flames that reached
within Il block Of the town.
The town Of McNeeley suffered sim
liar experience.
: The fire in the Black Hills forest
reserve has got beyond control and
already 5000 acres of the finest pine
TIMBER in the central hills has been
destroyed.

Dismissal of American Minister Des-
ignate Crane.
1 Washington, Nov. The full text
OF the Manchurian agreement, by
which Japan mas bound the Chinese
government in an inextricable tangle
of concessions and which is the sub.
ject CT close scrutiny on the part Of
the United. States and other powers,
has been made public. .
The agreement, which was the in
direct cause Of Minister Charles R.
Cranes dismissal, is found to be more
sweeping in its concessions to Japan
than was at first thought. 1t provides
that all land along the MukGen rail.
road and along the main line of the
Manchurian railway excepting that at
F'ushan and Yentai shall be exploited
as joint enterprises of Japanese and
Chinese subjects, UPON the general
principles which the viceroy Of the
three provinces and the governor of
Mukden agreed upon with the Japa-
nese consul general
Covers Mineral Deposits.
The full effect of this provision will
develop later when Japan takes adj
vantage of its concession It may be
interpreted as covering all, the mineral
deposits in the region; traversed by
the railroad. -.
In other ways the document is so
worded as to furnish strong ground
for the belief that it violates the
"open door policy"
Article I, for example, states that
the government of China, in the
event Of its undertaking to construct
railway between Hsjnmintun and
Fakunlen, shall previously arrange

CURES REMOVE DOUBT
ABOUT ECZEMA CURE
Read What Your Druggist Says About
Oil Of Wintergreen Compound. 2

Druggist Barker submits the
following to the readers of the
Pioneer: -
For several years we have an
nounced, with our recommends.
ton, that we had found positive
cure for eczema; a simple skin
wash, oil of wintergreen COM
pounded with other healing in
gradients. -
Yet we know there are people
right here in this town who have
eczema, and still have never tried
this remedy. r.:
We have, therefore, arranged with
the D. D. D. Laboratories of Chi
cago for special offer of a trial
bottle at rs cents instead of the
500 bottle as regularly sold.
We offer this trial bottle with
our recommendation and assur-
ance that just as soon as the
patient washes his itching skin,
this mild liquid will take the itch
away instantly. Barker's Drug
