street was destroyed by fire, supposed
to have been caused by a ciga cite
stub. at an early hour this morning,
causing the death of Frank Askins a

twenty persons, all of whom were
asleep when the fire was discovered.
Nearly all the women were able to
escape to the street, but Irene oye
fell and broke her leg, while two
others were burned about the hands
and feet. Several were carried out
unconscious by the firemen.
Askins, who was a single man 81

Found Dead in Buggy

Vermillion-When Mrs. A. ]. West,
a farmers wife who lives seven miles
southeast of Vermillion, went to
the barr yesterday she found the
lifeless body of John Condo hanging
over the dashboard of his buggy, his
head firmly caught between the buggy
tongue and wheel. Condo had been
to Elk Point though it is not known
how far he had been carried in the
position found. His head, face and
shoulders were a mass of bruises.
The body was ordered brought to YER
million by Coroner McGlumphy. Condo
was a grocery peddler, taking orders
from house to house in Clay and I'm
ion counties. He was 81 years old.
No relatives live here but an attem>t
will be made to locate a daughter In
Illinois. The supposition is that he
suffered a stroke OF apoplexy and fell
over the dashboard as there are no
evidences of foul play.

SAIL
The Schools Fourteenth Year Cele-
brated by Students and Faculty
Springfeld-Just fourteen years ago
South Dakota founded its Normal
school at Springfield. Last week. the
faculty celebrated this fact by oppro-
pirate ceremonies. The day was 81 en-
as a holiday and in the afternoon on
the gridiron the football team, under
Prof. Hopes efficient coaching, de-
feated the Santee Indians by a score
of Is to 8. The game was played un-
der the new football rules and was
highly interesting to the enthusiastic
crowd on the side lines. The Spring
field team has several of its players of
Considering that it is still early in the
season, the team is in good condition.
Other games are scheduled for the
near future and a successful season is
anticipated.
The eliminating event of the day
was the evening reception given to
the students by the members of the
faculty. Under the new electric lights
at the dormitory, anne the youths
and maidens arrayed In their best.
After the usual formalities were over,
a short program was given. Miss
Clara Hinsdell, the new and efficient
instructor in piano and vocal music,
sang two solos and Miss Katherine
Finley, the new violin teacher, render
ed two very pleasing solos. Prof. H.
Fl. ~Goodenough sang in tie faculty
quartette and also sang a solo. Presi-
dent G.. G.. Wenzloff, who has been SO
successful in the management of the
school, spoke a few words in his own
characteristic way about the past and
future of the school. After the pro-
gram and a drawing game. the stu
dents were conducted to the dining
hall. where light refreshments were
served by the faculty. The rooms
were art stically decorated for the oc-
casion.
Altogether Springfield is showing a
fine advance. A good increase of
students. a dormitory filled to its ut
NEST capacity, excepting the guest
room. and a dining room almost
crowded all speak of the popularity of
the school. A spirit of enthusiasm
prevails and must school and class
spirit Is manifested.
During the summer; many improve
ments have been made in the class
rooms, library and dormitory and also
in the general appearance of the
lawns. A new cement sidewalk now
connects with the town walk. Plans
are on foot to finish the upper story
of the dormitory and a new science
hall is much needed. The large num-
Der of music students has necessitated
the purchase of a new piano.
South Dakota maxwell be proud OF
Springfield Normal school as one of
several fine state institutions and the
Springfield citizens are fully appre-
ciative of the advantage of having the
normal in their midst.

Saloon Gases in Tripp

Carter-Saloon cases, which are of
Importance as bearing upon the legal
ity Of a number Of licenses issued In
Trip county, which is one of the new
est counties in the state, will come on
for hearing before Judge Trip, of the
state circuit court, at the conclusion
of the Gregory county term of court,
this month. A census was recently
taken and shows that Carter township
has sufficient population to entitle 1t
t three saloons. Judge Trip refused
to accept this census, and states that
BEFORE any action is taken by him In
reference to the license matter an
other census will have to be taken
under the supervision of the court.
When this is done it is believed the
license question can be disposed OF
to the satisfaction of all concerned.

WISE WORDS,
A Physician on Food.

A physician, of Portland, Oregon.
has views about food. He says:
Il have always believed that the
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick, but that we
owe 1t to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health, especially by
hygienic and dietetic laws.
with such a feeling as to my duty
/ take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation / have
found no food equal to Grape-Nuts,
and that l find there is almost no limit
to the great benefits this food will
bring when used in all cases of sick
ness and con~valescence.
1T is my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use of Grape
Nuts. To persons in health there is
nothing SO nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach, especially at break
fast, to start the machinery of the hui
nan system on the days work.
I'm cases of indigestion / know that
q complete breakfast can be made of
Grape-Nuts and cream and / think it Is
not advisable to overload the stomach
at the morning meal. also know the
great value of Grape-Nuts when the
stomach is too weak to digest other
food.

Of more than 20 years, treating all

Consider This Advice.

Consider This Advice.
No woman should submit to a surgi-
cal operation, which may mean death,
until she has given Lydia E. Pinkham'S
Vegetable Compound, made exclusive
~ from roots and herbs, a fair trial.
This famous medicine for women
has for thirty years proved to be the
most valuable tonic and invigorator of
the female organism. Women resid-
ing in almost every city and town in
the United States bear willing testi-
mony to the wonderful virtue of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
It cures female ills, and creates radi-
ant, buoyant female health. If you
are ill, for your own sake as well az
those you love, give it a trial.
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass,
invites all sick women to write
her for advice. Her advice is Free
and always helpful.
