On Wednesday night the village of
Irma was threatened and two crews
of men were summoned from Merrill
to save the village.
Bernard Laabs informs us that he
spent Thursday in the towns of
Hewitt and Harrison and that every
where along the road farmers and
their families were out fighting fires.
He says he watched one fire approach
hay field, the hay, not being cut.
AS soon as the fire got into the grow
ing timothy it swept over the field, as
if the green hay had been so much
dry straw. He says that fires out in
that section are doing much damage
to growing timber.
Forest fires which have been burn
ing in the towns of Elderon and
Franzen for several weeks, received a
fresh impetus the early part of the
week from high winds. On Thurs
day evening this city was appealed
to for aid, the appeal coming from
the Mohr-Stotzer Lumber Co. which
has sawmill plant in the village of
Vuhi ic nA in hn lot fnr
town. The old fire engine and M. ].
Kriskey, Ted Doonen and VIM. and
Walter Ziebell from the east side
engine house were conveyed to the
, village. When the Wausau party
reached Holt the fire had reached a
point dangerously near the village
and sparks and burning leaves were
falling promiscuously in the village,
and lumber yards. Every able bodied
villager was out fighting fire. The
firemen could do nothing with the
engine in checking the fire, but water
was thrown on the lumber piles and
houses, keeping them well soaked so
that the danger of sparks setting
them on fire was greatly lessened.
The villagers back fred and used
other means to hold the flames in
check Mayor Lamont was anxious
to get the engine back here as soon as
possible, because there is no telling
when this city may be threatened.
The people of Holt, however, begged
permission to keep the engine and
firemen there all day Friday and
Friday night, and the mayor acqui-
esced The firemen say that at many
points along the line they saw evil
dences of fire.

Nevada, Oct. 27.-The principal mat
ter of interest 50 far as the coming
election is concerned, in Story county,
appears to be centered upon the four
different special questions submitted to
the voters. All of them are the subject
of more or less discussion and two of
them have been before the people at
least once before and been defeated.
The people Of Ames and vicinity are
back of a proposition for the county to
erect a new hospital in that city at a
cost of $50 900, for which a l mill
tax will be levied providing the ques-
ton carries The Story County Hos pi-
tai Club has been organized in that
CITY. a campaign fund raised and the
county is being thoroughly canvassed
in favor of the proposition. Speeches
are being made in different parts of
the county, newspaper space is being
purchased literally and concerted eff
fort is being made to get the matter
thru.
The Nevada Commercial Club has
fathered the proposition for the county
purchasing the county fair grounds, To-
Gated near this city, and will make an
aggressive campaign among the farm
ers and stockmen Of the county. Under
new law 1t is made possible for the
fair grounds to be the property of the
county and a stock society organized
and carry on the fairs and livestock
shows.
The board of supervisors is partic-
ularly interested in the next PROPOSE
ton, that of bonding the county for
$4,000 with which to erect suitable
buildings on the county farm. The
present buildings are unsafe and should
be condemned. They are wholly in
adequate for the use to which they are
put and new buildings of some sort are
absolutely necessary very soon. The
question was voted upon year ago
and was defeated. The members OF the
board are greatly interested in the fate
Of this one question.
There is one. faction in the county
advocating the defeat OF the hos pital
proposition, the sale of the half sec
ton farm owned and operated by the
county and the purchase Of the thirty
acres Of fair grounds land to be built
upon and improved to make county

Illinois Central to Guard Against Theft

Fort Dodge. Oct. 27.-The eastern
roads have novel way OF deterrnin-
ing if any coal has been taken from
the cars, and IL any has been taken
where it was taken at. The top layer
Of every car of coal is completely COW
cred with whitewash and agents along
the line are required to make a report
as to whether or not the top layer was
covered when the car was at their

will be possible to determine when and

be of great benefit in finding the coal

The railroads have lost considerable
money in the past on coal that was
not used by them and it is hoped
that by this method they can do away
with considerable Of the coal steallre.

Ney- file, of the New York Cotton Exchange at today's hearing on the anti-option bill before the house committee on agriculture.
 Mir. Neville's testimony occupied both sessions and his replies, sharp, sicy and sometimes sarcastic, enliv. ened the proceedings.
 Do you think it possible to gam ble on the exchange?" asked Repre-. sentative Hefin of Alabama.
 People who play the exchange for gambling purposes ought to have a guardian replied Mir. Neville.
 ''Is il possible to operate the ex- change with speculation-tha is.. man ipulation up and eliminated? ?" asked Representative Sims of Ten nessee.
 T am astounded.' was the retort, that it should be assumed that set of merchants would do such things"
 What do you mean by shaking out the shorts?" persisted Sims.
 Can't say" replied Neville. "Ths proper expression probably is to poke up the shorts and shake out the longs"
 You bet I ean," he replied, when asked if he could name any desirable change in the cotton exchange prac- tices, but he referred only to chang ing the system of fixed differences which, readjusted to spinners' value. he believed would leave the exchange "as unafllible as mortals can make it." as Representative Burleson sar- castieally suggested.

 BELL, OF TEXAS.
Tax Valuation of the Disputed Proper. ty Amounts to About s5,ooo,ooo
 and Population of 5000.

Houston, Texas, Feb. 16--A special to the Post from Austin, Texas, says:
 As the result of visit from R. H. Ward of San Antonio, attorney for the city council of Fl Paso. Governor Campbell today wrote President Taft calling his attention to the necessity for a prompt settlement of the bound. ary dispute between the United States and Mexico, affecting a portion of the city of Fl Paso.
 The territory in dispute has pop- ulation of about 5000 and taxable val. ues of $5,000,000, and has been invad- ed by squatters claiming property un- der Mexican authority, who threaten the use of arms to hold onto the land they have seized.
 The federal and state courts are exercising criminal jurisdiction in the territory in question, but the federal courts have recently, at the request of the department of justice, suspend ed the exercise of civil jurisdiction there, pending a settlement of the boundary controversy.
 The result is that confusion reiens and trouble and bloodshed are immi. nent.
