Volunteered to Assist the
County Officers.

The action of the Wayne county
grand jury in recommending that the
county proceed at once to provide a
suitable hospital for the care of the
insane who may be waiting admission
TO Easthaven. probably will result in
a special session of the county conn.
Gil being held within the next week or
SO for the purpose of considering
ways and means by which the pro-
posed hospital may be built.
1t has been suggested that the coun-
Gil as starter might appropriate
simply a sufficient sum of money to
enable competent architect to get
up plans for a hospital and to provide
an accurate estimate of the cost. DR..
s. E. Smith, medical superintendent
of Easthaven already has volunteered
to give the county the benefit of his
wide experience in such matters and
would be able not only to show the
county exactly what is needed but al
SO would be able to outline the plan
on which such an institution should be
conducted.

GAVE "A SINGULAR LIFE
Adrian Nj. Newens Presented til
Story of This Book in a Manner
Most Excellent.

The last number of the lecture
and concert course was given at the
Gale theatre Thursday evening when
Adrian M. Newens presented "A
Singular Life" written by Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps. Mr.. Newens has APP
peared before a Mitchell audience i'm
times past and While his work was
appreciated hen he more than sur
passed anything hat he ever did.
The story of "A Singular Life is
one that will appeal to the general
reader, as it relates the strenuous
life of a young preacher just starting
out in the ministry and of the troub-
les he encounters because he does
not follow what is termed the beaten
path. The story as told by Mr.. New
ems takes on a deeper significance as
he brings into lifelike existence the
characters that appear in the book.
These are quaint in nature, being a
~seafaring people, and it afforded the
dramatic reader an opportunity to il

INDIVIDUALS. In the short hour and
a Mi. Newens told the story so
TIL n had a fine conception of the
boo~. 1t vas d genuine treat, and
50 leeply interested was the audience
that not a sound of applause was
heard until the speaker reached the
climax and he was forced to bow his
acknowledgements several times be
fore leaving the stage.
With his appearance here Mr.. New
n closes his long seasons work
winch covers a period from early fall
until late in the spring, and his APP
pearance also finished the lecture INC
concert course season in Mitchell.
Mi. Hardy extended his sincere
thanks of the management for the
splendid patronage that had been ac-
corded, which made it possible to Sc
cur such excellent talent as had
been presented during the winter
months.

southeast part of the city. and Mr..
ENenSon was repairing a telephone
wire ear the building of the Mitch
ell Fruit Co. While working among
the wires he rested his right arm on
a wire that proved to be an electric
light wire. The electricity burned
through the tleshy part of his right
arm clear to the bone, making the
cash in his arm quite pronounced.
He had in his hand a pair of nippers
and these becoming charged with
the fluid burned his hand badly. On
his left hand there are a number of
sever burns, it being supposed that
he placed that hand on the wire.
Instantly that he came in con-
tact with the live wire he fell to the
ground from the top of the pole, a
distance of about 20 feet. 1t was
no soft spot hat he fell on either,
for there were cinders lying at the
foot of the pole. Clifford Dickson
happened along there just at hat
moment and Joking UP he saw the
young man fall. Remarkable as it
might seem, Mr.. Evenson was not
injured by the tumble, other than
for a few scratches on his face. No
bones were broken and there were
few, if any. bruises On his body. Mr..
Dickson telephoned for a hack and
the unconscious form of the young
man was lifted into the vehicle and
taken to the Mitchell hotel. BY the
time he had reached the hotel Mr..
Evenson had regr:ned consciousness.
DIR. Freyberg was called to admin
lister to the injuries of the young
man. He stated that Evenson's arm
would be quite painful for some lit
tie time, but that there was nothing
serious in the accident.
Manager Reeves, of the telephone
company, seriously regretted the ac-
cident very much and spoke very
highly of Mr.. Evenson, whose work
as a lineman has been very salts

jTHER ABERDEEN FIRE
ii Implement and Elevator Compan,
Was a Loser by 100000 Fire
Wednesday Night.

Aberdeen, May 6.-Fire totally de-
stroyed the elevator, barns and i'm
plement warehouse of the Freeman
Balm company, 1913 Railroad avenue
northeast, last evening, with a loss
of 100000 and for a time the gale of
wind blowing from the north threat
ened to sweep the flames into the resi-
dence part of the city east of Lincoln
street.
Once started there nothing could
have controlled the fire, and it might
ave wiped out half of the city.
The spread of the fire was stopped
by the Great Northern passenger de-
rot and freight Warehouse which
stnod along the railroad track across
Railroad avenue from the burning
buildings, and interposed a f@reproof
barrier to the progress of the fire in
the direction the wind was blowing il.
The air for blocks south of the fire
was filled with a shower of sparks.
and although many incipient blazes
were started in the path OF these en-
bers, none was allowed to make head
way.
That hundreds Of families slept
safely in their own homes Wednes-
day night was due almost entirely to
the fact that the brick depot and its
slate roof were interposed as the first
barrier in the way of the flaming rain
which poured upon it from the fire
across the venue
From the moment the fire was dis
covered by the switch crew with Mil
waukee engine 1855 at $50 there
was not much chance of saving the
buildings, and the following We're de-
stroyed in rapid succession: Elevator,

NIGHT TRAIN TO ABERDEEN
The Long Delayed Service Will Start
Next straightforward Service
to Chicago.

Along last summer mention was
erence to the Milwaukee road estab-
fishing a night train service between
Mitchell and Aberdeen by the extern
sion of one of the night trains COM
The service, however, was not estab-
lished, and again during the winter
the officials gave evidence of putting
the train on, but it failed to Inateria-
lie.
1t is now stated on reliable author
ity that the officers have finally
reached a definite conclusion to give
the additional service, and that it
| will be put on commencing next Sun
day, the first train to go north on
Saturday night. This train will
come direct from Chicago, leaving
there some time in the evening about
8 or 10 o'clock, and will reach Mitch
ell at 1905 a. m. 1t will come west
via Sioux City, and will reach Aber-
deem about 4:30 in the morning to
make connection with the coast line
trains. Coming from the north the
new passenger will reach Mitchell
about 1880 a. m. and will reach Chi
cago the night Of the same day at
about 8 or 10 o'clock. This train
to the north part of the state will
compete with the northwestern
service, which, however, was estab-
lished some months ago. Both trains,
it is understood, will carry sleepers
from Aberdeen to Sioux City and also
to Aberdeen.
1t is not understood yet whether
the Iowa and Dakota Division will
run a train in mere from Sanborn to
connect with the Aberdeen train, but
there is a strong possibility that it
will.
The new passenger service will
| doubtless be the means of bringing
several additional families to Mitch
ell, although the crews for the pas
senger runs have not been decided
upon as yet, and nom of the on
ductors have hazarded a guess on how
much they will be changed around
by the new order of things.
With these additional trains Mitch
ell will have a splendid passenger
! service in and out of the city, equal
to, and surprising the great majority
Of other towns of the state.

THE POTATO CROP.

The potato crop for 1908 is said 70
be 274,60O, 900 bushels; 100000 bushels
less than last year while the quality
of the yield is far below the previous
year. II the potatoes were all good
the quantity will not supply the home
demand, since It Is only about three
bushels per capita, and out of that seed
must come for the next crop, says
Farm, Stock and Home. No other
country. reporting the potato crop
makes such a poor showing as this
one, only about so bushels to the acre,
against 200 and more bushels by Great
Britain, Germany and other countries.
1t is strange that we do not grow
enough potatoes to supply our home
demand. The cause Of this small yield,
from year to year. is said 20 be due
more to planting poor seed than to
any other cause. The smaller yield
in 1908 than 1907 was due to a more
unfavorable season, but the steadily
declining yield must be due TO other
than climatic conditions, and seed
seems to be the most probable cause.
Doubtless is 1t true that seed is plant
ed which is not desirable for other
uses, when in fact, the best specimens
should be planted. Not the largest, but
the smoothest, shapeliest and most
nearly ideal specimens. II is doubtless
true that those who are now growing
good crops Of potatoes do not care T.
see all others doing the same, being
satisfied with conditions as they are.
But "the greatest good to the great
est number" is the sentiment which
moves this paper to urge the growing
of more bushels to the acre.

Finds New Specie OF Flea.

To a Philadelphian, DR.. Carol Fox
has fallen the distinction of being the
discoyerer of a new species of flea and
entomologists throughout the world
are much interested in It, not only
because OF It's novelty, but because the
discovery rs so closely allied to the
fight against the bubonic plague which
was prevalent for several months in
San Francisco Dr. Fox is with the
marine-hospital service in that city,
being sent there to investigate the
ways in which the plague is trans
mitted.
1t was finally discovered, after
painstaking experiments, that feas on
the bodies of rats infected with the
plague we're the mediums of trans
mission to human beings. There fol-
lowed a warfare OF determination
against the rodents.
Pursuing his investigation, much Of
which was, of course, accomplished
with microscope, he discovered the
hitherto unreported specimen of flea.
He found ii to be without eyes, and
having row of six teeth, Instead OF
being black, as is the ordinary we'll
known variety, this new insect is a
light brown. 1t is quite as voracious
as other members of the same family,
but is capable Of a much higher leap.
DR.. Fox has not named the species,
a privilege which Il his as the dis
coverer.
