PRAIRIE FIRE LOSSES.

Among the prairies fires which
swept parts of this state a few weeks
ago what vas probably the most des-
tructive one, so far as it's effects were
concerned, was along the north line
of Meade county, doing it's damage in
Meade and Perkins counties, remote
from communication, says a Pierre dis
patch. While the individual losses
were not as much as they were in the
Sully county fire, the losses fell on
homesteaders just getting started on
the prairie, and will be felt more than
a heavier loss in an older settled com
munity.
The report from the vicinity of
Brushie alone gives heavy losses. AL
bert Bethards lost everything but a
team and wagon and the clothes the
family wore when they jumped into
the wagon to flee from the flames.
Miss Myrtle Ward barely saved her
life and los, oyo.ything on her claim;
Ludwig Bergseth lost all his buildings;
c. S. jerks, everything but his house;
George Wallace, all but his house;
Alonza Leasley. his hay and barn; e.
A. Overton, barn and supplies; A. P.
Williams, all outbuildings, hay and a
colt; D. d. Merchant, three horses;
Harry Reed, barn, hay, wagon and
money; Eugene Brown, ninety IONS of
hay and barn; Andrew Jurgeson and
Ben Carnes, their houses.
Many others lost hay, stock and
buildings, and as a large scope Of
country was covered the indications
are that the aggregate loss will be
heavy. The terrific gale carried the
fire so fast that those who attempted
to- ride ahead Of it were compelled to
swerve from its path, and at one place
the blaze made a jump of $50 feet
acros" a strip of breaking and started
again on the windward side.

HINTS TO COUNTRY CORES
PONDENTS.

The West Virginia News recently
printed a set of rules for the guidance
of it's country correspondents. These
rules are so pat that the Register has
reproduced them for the benefit OF its
staff Of correspondents:
First OF all, the News is a news.
paper, designed to give the news OF
the ncighborhood, county, state and
nation, and no effort should be made
to make it the pLrveyor Of mere gossip
or the instrument of personal revenge.
In disseminating the news il must be
reliable and impartial TO the utmost
degree. Once in a great while some
one who has a grudge against a neigh
Dor writes a letter to the News in
which a sly thrust is made at the per-
son he or she doesn't like. Sometimes
ii Is cleverly disguised and the editors
are unable TO detect 1t. This should
never be done, and 1t is earnestly
hoped hat no correspondent or occa-
sional contributor will so abuse our
trust. Personal feeling should never
dictate in giving news. Never over
look the comings and goings OF neigh
bors whom you NAV not like. Give all
the news of all the people, whether
you like them or not.
Avoid as much as possible chronic
ling the calls made by one neighbor
upon another who live on adjoining
farms. There is little news value in
such items.
Do not note the calls made by the
beaux on the bellies Of the n~eighbor-
hood.
Do not forecast marriages. but re-
port them after they occur.
In giving the news OF a birth, say:
"a son Tor d~aughter) was born to Mr..
and Mrs. SO and So on such-and-such
a day of the week, month and year
Leave off making comment on the
fathers actions.
Write about the comings and goings
from a distance or from some other
town or neighborhood, and those who
90 away on business or 10 visit. Tell
who they are visiting and where and
when, and write names plainly and
correctly. Don't use nicknames, but
always the proper name.
Get all deaths, giving full particu-
l~ars-date, age, residence, cause of
death, full name, number of children.
II any, left, and where they live, and
all other particulars.
Give all marriages and particulars
of wedding.
Give account of all accidents; fires;
new buildings of Importance; sale of
farms or large property-who sold and
who bought; crimes, If any commit
ted, with correct and accurate details,
Report large crops and crop pros
poets.
Report any unusual business activity.
Report social events, parties, ETC.,
and give of those invited or
attending.
Report everything of a new charac-
ter. Leave nothing out which has
news value or which will interest read
ers.
Report nothing OF a personal nature
or which will wrong anybody in the
slightest.
Don't report any rumor which have
no foundation, or rumors which would
injure a person II untrue.
Date letters and write with this date
In mind.
