KEROSENE KILLS THREE
Mrs. Oscar Hoganson of Winfred and
Two Children Victims

! W. SIlIuTGII ViCtIFiS
Winfred. S. D., June 17-Sre ial:
An explosion, resulting from the use
of kerosene in starting a fire in a
cook stove Friday morning, proved ia
tai to Mrs Oscar Hoganson and the
two children of Mr.. and Mrs. A. j..
Bigger. The accident is one of the
most horrible that has happened in the
history of this city, and late tonight
the populace has not recovered from
the shock
Mrs Hoganson is the wife of a
brother to Arthur Hoganson, who is
the manager of the Majestic theatre
in Sioux Falls, and the father of the
children is a brother Of John Biesg r
of Sioux Falls, and at the time o: the
accident, he and his wife were visit
ing at that place.
Mrs Hoganson was getting ready
for breakfast at the time the accident
happened The fire was burning rath-
er slowly and in her effort to get the
stove to working properly, used a
large can of kerosene. She had turn
ed a small quantity into the ate
when terrific explosion occurred.
The clothing of the woman and the
children, who were near her at the
time, at once took firt:, and though
she rushed about trying to safe herself
as we'll as the children, her efforts
were fruitless.
For a time it wa thought that the
home would be destroyed, but the
timely arrival of several neightors
stopped further calamity.
Physicians were summoned at once
in an effort to save the life of the
woman and the two children, but such
was impossible.

TAFT SIGNS BILL
tHe RAILROAD BILL HAS BECOME
LAW BY SIGNATURE OF
THE PRESIDENT
STATEH0ODBILL UNSIGNED
me Statehood Bill Another Important
Administration Measure Was
Not Signed for Some
Reason
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Washington, June 1s.-Two Of the
most important of the administratio ton
measures namely, the railroad bill
ana me statehood bill, were acted up
on nnally by congress today and will
become laws as soon as they receive
rats signature.
Inns action was taken by the house.
the senate having previously disposed
OF both measures. 1t was accomp-
llshed practically without debate and
IN record time, not even a roll call
being required in the whole proce-
dure.
The action on the statehood legis-
latlon was accomplished with even
greater ease. By reason of pressure
from the White House, and aided by
some diplomatic work by Postmaster
General Hitchcock, the opposition to
the acceptance Of the senates amend
ments TO the statehood bill was al
most entirely dissipated. The demo-
Gratis were induced to forego their
objection through the judicious circu-
latlon OF the report that if the bill
went to conference it might not en-
erge during the present session.
1t cannot be stated definitely when
Arizona and New Mexico Will come
into the union under this legislation,
as 1T requires that their constitutions
as adopted by the proposed states
proved by the president. Many be-
ileVe it will not be before the presi-
dental election in 1912.
Inc deficiency appropriation bill,
carrying nearly S6,000,00O, was also
passed by the house.
The senate today discussed a mo-
ton by Bristow to discharge the com
mittee on judiciary from further con-
slderation of the resolution providing
for the election of United States SEN
ators by direct vote, and a motion
by Carter to concur in the house am
endments to the postal savings bank
bill. Neither motion was acted upon
Washington, June 1S-Snecial: The

For some time it has been regretted
that the Sioux Falls building wa
not larger and with this end in view

also profited in the list of ap 1ropria

method of procuring fertilizersf 1t
is now generally conceded by up-to-

Prices of Seedlings

The state forester has just issued
a circular of the Experiment Station
giving the prices of forest seedlings
for sale by the State Nursery and
containing instructions for planting
The three principal varieties
which the nursery has for sale are
two year old white pines at 1926
per thousand; three year old Norway
spruce at $3 so; and one year old
black locust at $500. All of the
three year pines which were left
last after last years sales were order
ell some time ago for the coming
spring In fact the popularity OF
the forest planting idea is growing
so rapidly that orders have been
coming into the forester's office all
winter and 23O,0U trees are already
spoken for, number considerably
exceeding last years entire ship
ments.
On account of the scare last year
over the German pine rust disease
no more pines will be imported from
Europe.

Sad Year for the Fly

This promises to be a sad year for
the housefly. The Department of
Agriculture is planning to inaugu-
rate country wide crusade against
him al soon as sprlng opens.
DR. l.. o. Howard, head of the
bureau of entomology, who is to be

Inhalation Army, told some of his
plans for the campaign to the house
committee on expenditures in the
department of agriculture The first
big gun of the war will be fired in
the country districts where the flies
i'll the past have been allowed to
multiply without molestation by the
farmer. A special farmers bulletin
is now being prepared by the bureau
which will not only give valuable
fly killing receipts, but will display
in their horrid colors the various
diseases hat are spread by the fly.
During his testimony before the
committee, DIR. Howard urged the
congressman to consider the impor-
tance of law for protecting the
country from the introduction of
foreign insect and parasite pests
that reach us on plant and nursery

The Pole was Worth the Peril

The British made Mr.. Shackleton,
who did not reach the South Pole,
knight, but the congress of the Unit
ed States hesitates to honor Com
mander Peary, who did reach the
North Pole. Peary, it is pointed
out with some snobbishness. is not
naval officer, but civil engineer
with sort of courtesy rank in the
navy But Shackleton was not a
naval officer either, but an officer in
a merchant feet. His title of lieu
tenant was not obtained from the
navy. The North Pole has been
sought for centuries. 1t seemed to
be of some importance to locate it,
else governments would not have
subsidized expeditions. But when
the North Pole is found we learn
from the opponents of Peary that it
was piece of useless exploration.
Some people object to honoring
Peary because there might be money
in it for him If Peary's story is
interesting enough to draw crowd,
why should he be criticised for
serving his fellowmen. If a maga-
zine publisher buys his narrative, is
it because it wants to squander its
money. or because it believes there
is value in it to justify the price,
Peary has deserved well of his
country, and measured by the stan
dards set up in other countries for
the reward of heroism, he is far from
getting his full need of praise in
America. a.-Haverhil Gazette.

STATE LIBRARY NOTES

The usefulness of the travelling
libraries as sent out by the Vermont
state board of library commissioners
is shown by the following date in
regard to the library used in the
school at Brook6eld. The number
of pupils having access to the library
is '26, and the number of loans
of books made from December 6,
1909, to March 9, 1910, was ITO, or
an average of about 36 per month.
This average of each pupil taking
out more than one book per month
shows how much use is derived from
a small library in a rural school;
also the teacher feels that it is not
only benefit to the children but
greatly increases the efficiency of
her school work by giving her ma
terials with which to work that she
would not otherwise have.

Bell Cast by Paul Revere

An investigation which followed
tne receipt of letter by L. @. Grant
from Arthur II. Nichols of Boston
has brought out the fact that the
hell in the Unitarian church in Bur-
lington was cast by Paul Revere, the
Revolutionary hero, In an old stock
hook appeared the statement that in
the year 1915 bell was sold to the
city of Burlington. The original
bill of sale was found among the
church archives, from which it was
learned that the bell was made for
the church October 10, 1917, at a
cost of AS cents pound. 1t weighs
1882 pounds and the tongue 81
pounds, making the total cost
$592,65. Six years from now the bell
will. therefore, ring it's centennial

AN ADVANCE FARM
SCHEDULE.
Farmers to be Furnished Copies
Before the Census Begins

A great increase in the accuracy
of the census returns from the farm
ers, considerable saving of the
working time of the farm enumera
tors, and the removal of much oI
whatever misapprehensions and pre-
judices may exist among farmers
with regard to the census are the
important results expected by the
United States Census Bureau to fol-
low the use of the Vermont Farm
Schedule, which has been adopted
and will be circulated, through the
rural postmasters, among the farmers
a short time before the actual census
taking.
The employment of this advance
schedule is distinct innovation in
census methods. 1t is the logical and
practical outcome of the Census
Bureaus persistent effort for some
time past to give the farmers clear
and comprehensive preliminary
knowledge of the Farm Census ques-
tions and to induce them to keep
written records of their farm opera
tions and equipment in readiness
for the call of the enumerators, be-
ginning April Is next.

page of Ire schedule, Census Direc
tor Durand states:

Windsor County Politics

1t logically belongs to Ludlow to
furnish the one senator to whom this
side of the county is entitled this
year, since Springfield and Chester
have been recent participants in that
honor.
We are authorized to announce

ed Ludlow in the legislature of 1908,
is candidate for the senatorship p
this year, and has inaugrated can
vass with that end in view.

life and experience, and his right to
