DRoUTH STOPS THREsHING.
Farmers at East Grand Forks Have to
Haul Water.

East Grand Forks. The farm.
ers living northeast of this city after
losing a good share of their crops be,
cause of heat and drouth, have run
against another big problem. The
continued drouth and heat has caused
an unusual lack of water, and in some
cases the farmers are unable to go
ahead with their threshing until some
arrangements are made for securing
water. August Lietieg, a farmer liv.
ing near Key West, was in the city
today, endeavoring to find some
means Of securing water so that he
a do his threshing. A small stream,
known as the Marais, Is in that vicin.
ity but 1t has been entirely dried up,
necessitating the hauling of water
from Red Lake river below Mallory.
This is an unusually long distance to
haul water for some of the farmers in
a northeast direction from this city
but it will undoubtedly have to be done
If threshing operations are to con
tinue. Farmers have to haul water
for their cattle, being unable to get
sufficient supply on farm land.

New Hospital For Sioux Falls

Sioux Falls-This city is taking q
long step In advance, in providing
more hospital facilities for ~unfortun-
ates. The latest is the Samaritan hos
pital, completely equipped with the
most modern facilities and under the
immediate charge Of Doctors r. @
Stevens and N. j. Nessa, two young
men who have had their training In
some of the largest and best hospi'
tails of the east. Every device and ev-
cry convenience known to modern
science is to be found here. The ar
rangements OF the operating room.
the rooms for patients, the furnlsns
ings, are all new, and the hospital
building, one of the incest properties
in the city, is convenient to business
and yet located where the noise am
hustle of the city will not disturb the
unfortunates, who will surely consider
themselves fortunate indeed If they
fall into the hands Of the good sam
aritans.

A MEMORIALFUND
FRIENDS OF SOUTH DAkOTA'S
MISSIONARY BISHOP TO
ERECT BUILDING
IN HONOR OF BISHOP HARE
Building to be on Spacious Grounds
Of All Saints School the lnsti-
tuition he Founded and
Largely Funded

Sioux Falls-The effort 10 raise
funds for the erection on the grounds
Of All Saints school of a memorial
building in honor Of the late
Bishop Hare, has taken on new
impetus and interest lately and
the committee in charge Of that work
is encouraged to believe that the fund
OF $25, 900 will be raised with much
less work than would ordinarily be
required in such an undertaking. The
South Dakota Bishop Hare Memorial
Fund is in charge Of the following
named persons:
Executive Committee-Bishop Fred
erick F. Johnson, chairman; Rev.
George Biller, Sioux Falls, vice chair
man; j. Howard Gates( Sioux Falls,
secretary; Jesse A. Smith, Flandreau,
treasurer; Rev. B. S. Mckenzie, Rev.
George S. Kellar, Hon. Geo. W. Burn
side and Mrs. J. D. Anderson.
In the letter to the people of the
state, announcing the Inauguration Of
the effort to raise the fund with which
to erect the Memorial, Bishop john
son says;
During his life time Bishop Hare
made very few appeals to the people
of the state for assistance in building
or maintaining the school. Through
long years Of leanness in q new and
undeveloped country, he was ever
busy raising funds among his friends
in the East in order that the daugh-
tiers Of his friends in the West might
have the very best Of educational adj
vantages at prices which they could
afford to pay. The years OF leanness
now are gone. The years are years
of fairness. The time has surely come
when the people of the state will wish
in some substantial way to express
their admiration of what Bishop Hare
was, and their appreciation of what
he did for South Dakota.
CAS- a result of the untiring efforts
of Bishop Hare during the past TWEEN
ty-ive years, All Saints school has
now a beautiful property, conserva-
lively valued at over 500, 900. 1t is
entirely free from debt and from
liability to encumbrance OF any de-
~scription. 1t has an endowment or
$93, 900, and there Is a movement ruliy
under way at the East to raise an
addition of $50, 900 to the endowment
fund as a memorial to Bishop Hare. 4
"All Saints school is not a personal
or private enterprise. The title to
its lands and buildings is vested In
an incorporated board of rust. In
forming this corporation, care was
taken that there should not be gath
cred together in the hands Of a few
persons, resident in one city, the pow
ers which ought to be distributed
among many persons living in differ
emit parts of the state. Nine different
cities are represented in this incor-
porated board of trusts.
"The earnest and loyal and helpful
cooperation of every person IN South
Dakota who loved and admired Bishop
Hare is asked toward raising The
South Dakota Bishop Hare Memorial
Fund"

Ing In strength and free so far from
any trace Of blood poisoning, Mayor
Gsynor IS n step nearer recovery
from the bullet wound inflicted on
Tuesday by James J. Gallagher.
He rested well Saturday night, spent
a satisfactory morning. took nourish-
ment at intervals with satisfaction,
had his wound dressed early and vas
pronounced looking fine" by the ply
sicians and was resting easily last
night.
During the day his average tempera
ture was SO degrees, so near normal
and so devoid Of fluctuations that his
surgeons are positive that no blood
poisoning has developed.
At the Hudson county Jail in Jersey
City, Gallagher attended morning
mass, then spent an u%neventful day in
his cell.
Prayers for the wounded mayors re-
oOvery were offered throughout the
city Sunday. Protestant, Catholic and
Unitarian congregations bowed their
heads while clergymen prayed that he
might be spared. Rev. William Viii.
kipson, preaching on the grounds OF
the uncompleted Episcopal cathedral
of st. John the Divine in the upper
part Of the city said in part:
"A free people should make deadly
assaults upon it's officers a capital
crime. Christian men and citizens OF
all classes should rise in resentment
against lawlessness and against the
carrying of concealed weapons. With
three presidents dead by violence and
Mayor Gaynor alive by a miracle, the
Church Of God should teach and
preach obedience to law"

10, POOR INDIAN IS MARKED.
Land Owned by Redskins Regarded as

land grabbers."
This statement was made by a mem.
Der Of the committee appointed by the
house of representatives TO investigate
Indian land contracts. Besides the
charges of Senator T. p. Gore, the
committee is inquiring into Indian land
conditions.
Some of the land grabbers'
schemes certainly will be called to the
attention of congress-" said a com
mitteeman.
"As there are in Oklahoma some
thing like 10000. 900 acres of Indian
lands 1t seems absolutely imperative
that congress take prompt steps to
prevent further land grabbing"

Probable Loss.

Brussels, Belg. - The white city
of the worlds fair as the Bslgians
called their 1910 exposition, Is q mass
OF fanes and smouldering ruins. A
spark falling into infammable mate
rial in the telegraph building, burst
into flames which, driven by a high
wiRd, swept rapidly in all directions.
Soon the Belgian, English and French
sections were destroyed. The nremen
and detachments Of soldiers, called
to the scene, found themselves ba1led
BY the gale, which carried the burn
inK emksrs to all parts Of the grounds.
The loss in the exposition nre is
estimated st $500, 600 SO.
To the left of the main building
arose the picturesque roofs and spires
Of "Bruexelles' Kermesse," a Belgian
Coney island. This place was alive
with Sunday crowds, and before they
could be gotten out the Kermssse was
afre. The crowds became panic
stricken, and men, women and chill
dren fought to escape. The exits be-
came choked with the struggling
masses and many were tranpleA un-
der foot and badly injured.
An engine corps from Antwerp at
tempted to dynamite the bridge Of
She French section, in the hope OF
checking the fire. but the flames leaped
acrssS and eRguffcd the Italian, Rus
Aan. Austrian, japanese, Chinese and
Norwegian buildings. Forty houses
on the avenue Soibosch. adjoining the
exposition, were destroyed.
At the time of the outbreak Of tho
are not less than 100, 600 persons were
circulating In the grounds and the
Kermesse. Troops were ordered out
and came at double quick to aid the
police in clearing the grounds. TAis
was accomplished in fair order, ex-
cept within the limits Of the Ker-
messs, whore the crowds became en-.
tangled in an almost inextrtcable
mass, fighting desperately to nnd an
escape from the flames which swept
vtctously through the tiRAer-ike stYuc-
tNres.
Soon the enormous facade tumbled
in ruins. Considering the rspidity of
the confagration, the small death loss
is marvellous. So far as is known
only two are dead. The injured, as
officially announced, number 80, but
probably many hundreds received
minor hurts.
AS the flames reached the menag-
erie, it was decided to shoot the
beasts, but the heat drove back the
soldiers and the animals were left to
their fate.
Bands of thieves engaged in pillage,
and a soldier was stabbed while at
tempting to arrest three men whom
he found raiding a jowelry exhibit.
Many jewel exhibitors were unin-
sured. In the French art section, the
priceless Gobelns, paintings and
sculpture, were ruined, as were the
rich treasures in the English, Belgium
and Turkish sections. An the archives
burned and it will therefore be i'm,
possible to confer medals and diplo
mas.
The fire was due to a short circuit
In addition to the panic that prevailed
in the Kermesse there were several
minor panics at other points within
the grounds, and women and children
were crushed down in the rush. Some
of the wild animals escaped from
their cages and added to the excite
ment. 1t is believed several of them
are still at large.
