Mail by Freight

Postmaster General Hitchcock
has a plan to reduce the postal de
ficit somewhat by transporting the
bulky magazines by fast freight
instead of in mail cars on passen.
ger trains, and pay the railroads
for transporting the same no more
than carload freight rates. This'is
a sensible idea which needs only
to be carried out along logical lines
to put the postoffice department
on a paying basis without raising
the rates of postage on any class
of matter. The immense amount
of heavy matter from the govern
ment printing Offices that is frank
ed through the mails might well
be carried in the same way.

Developing School Life

Two acts of the last legislative
session, if carried out in their in
tent will give more individuality
to school and farm life in this
state, and the probability is that
when the laws go into effect the
first of July there will be gener-
al movement toward their observ-
ance.
One of these isa senate bill 1872
by Weavre, which authorizes own
ers of ranches and farms in the
state to give them distinctive
names, and have the same register
ed in the office of the clerk of fcourts
of the county in which the farm or
ranch is located.
The registration is to show the
locality and name selected, and the
name when registered gives the
one registering an exclusive right
to that name in the county in
which he lives. While some land
owners have given names to their
farms, anyone else whose fancy
might be attracted by such name
could use the same causing con-
fusion. but when a legal and ex-
elusive designation can be made
no doubt most of the farms of the
state will in the course of year or
two have a name by which it will
be generally known in all the COM
munity, and be as definitely locat-
ed by name as any town or post
office in the county.
Another act, house bill 92, by
Parsons, allows the patrons of any
school district of the state to Sc
lect distinctive name, ond re-
gister the same with the county
superintendent of schools of the
county, in book to be kept for
that purpose, and when district
SO registers name it has an ex-
clusi. e right to the same for the
county in which it is located.
i This will also give q distinctive
legal name to the different school
districts, and most of them will
be names which will attract by
their pleasing euphony rather than
the wierd names which often attach
to districts, and grow as time goes
on, SO strong that it is hard to
shake them off.

BEGIN WkTERWORKS SYSTEM
Contractor from Minneapolis is
Here and Preliminary work
Started

Contractor w. d. Lowell and
Superintendent S. d. Krenz, of
Minneapolis, arrived in the city
the first of the week and have al
ready began the preliminary work
on the waterworks system. The
first step in the work will be the
making of cement foundations for
the tower to rest upon on the lot
which the city has purchased at
the head of Center street. The
tower will be 60 feet high to the
bottom of the tank which will be
Is feet in diameter and have a
capacity of 80, 200 gallons and will
be made of steel. The mains will
be laid the entire length of Center
street to the tank and north of the
tank to the corner of the Bielski
residence and on Pine street one
block east of Center street and
four blocks west. They will also
be laid on Railroad street one
block east and on Oak street one
block west. This will insure prac-
tically the entire town with water
protection from fire and make it
available for other purposes to
most of the people within the city
limits. The location of the well
has not as yet beeen decided upon,
but tests have been made south OF
the Stoermer livery barn and il
may be located there. Part of the
material for the system has already
arrived and the work will be push
ed as fast as possible until com
pleted.

Killed in A Fight

Judge Gaffery of Pierre was
called to Dupree yesterday to ap-
pear for Babe" LaPlant a well
known mixed blood, at Il coroner:s
inquest over body of a man
killed by Lap liant in quarrel at
that place Thursday night. Judge
Gaffery left at once, but news has
been received that the inquest was
concluded before his arrival at
Dupree and that LaPlant was dis
charged, the killing being consider
ed accidental if not justifiable. 1t
seems the man, a newcomer in the
county, whose name is not learned,
quarreled with LaPlant over a
card game and called the latter out
whereupon a lively alteration en-
sued in which LaPlant threw the
stranger to the ground. This ap-
parently settled the matter, and
LaPlant started to walk away.
His opponent having regained his
feet rushed upon him and LaPlant
returned the blow with one from
his fist on the side of the strangers

made his campaign in the United
States senate against the immense
sums that were being paid to the
railroads for hauling the mails,
the public has known what Petit
grew and others who had investi-
gated the matter, knew that the
railroads were getting a handsome
premium for carrying mails, and
were being paid a rate that was
heavy drain on the department.
Instead of there being sliding
scale of rates charged the govern
ment for carrying the mails, so
that with the increase of business
the cost per pound would be re-
duced. the railroads received the
same rate, and as the business in.
creased their profits were swelled
immensely. The proposal to carry
some of the heavier mail by freight
will cut down some of this profit
and save the government a great
deal of money.
Secretary Hitchcock appears to
be on the right track. He has hit
at the true cause of the postal de-
ficit at last-the high rates paid
the railroads for transporting the
mails. 1t will be only begin
ming to cut off some of the cost of
transporting magazines. Let econ
omy along this line go on and it
will not be necessary to raise postal
rates.

list.
Girl Follows Purse
A girl threw her pocketbook,
then her hat. then her furs from
a tenth-tlOor window. A moment
later her body came whirling after
them to death.
At ninth floor window man
and Il woman appeared. The man
embraced the woman and kissed
her. Then he hurled her to the
street and jumped. Both were
killed. Five girls smashed a pane
of glass, dropped in a struggling
tangle and we're crushed into IA
shapeless mass.
Misses Fireman's Ladder
A girl on the eighth floor leap
ed for a tireman's ladder. which
reached Onl ly to the sixth floor
She missed. struck the edge of a
life net and was picked up with
her back broken. From one win
dow girl of about 13 years, n
woman, man and two women
with their arms about one another
threw themselves to the ground in
rapid succession. The little girl
was whirled to the New York hos
pitaI i'm An automobile. She
screamed as the driver and a police
man lifted her into the hallway.
A surgeon came out gave one look
at her face and touched her wrist.
"She is dead," he said.
Horse Blanket No Aid
One girl jumped into a horse
blanket held by firemen and police
men. The blanket ripped like
cheesecIoth and her body was
mangled beyond recognition.
Another dropped into tarpaulin
held by three men. Her weight
tore it from their grasp and she
struck the street, breaking almost
every bone in her body.
Almost at the same time a man
somersaulted down upon the should
er of a policeman holding the tar
paulin. He glanced off struck the
sidewalk and was picked up dead.
Company Blamed
Over one hundred and fifty wit
nesses to the disaster appeared at
the Office of District Attorney
Whitman and made affidavits to
the grand jury charging the COM
pany with the violation of the
state factory laws, which STIMULATES
that all doors leading to stairways
be unlocked. 1t is asserted that
such was not the condition at the
time of the fire, which destroyed
the factory Saturday.
The funerals of the victims have
been postponed until next when
all the labor unions of the city
will attend a monster demonstra-
tion in protest against the non-en-
forcement of the law governing
the safety of workmen in the fac
tories of New York state.

$50 LIVES LOST IN FACTORY fire.
Scores of Working Girls on Top
Floors of Ten-Story Building
Crushed on Pavement or
Burned in New York
Factory Fire

them girls, were killed in a fire
which swept the upper floors of a
factory building this afternoon at
% to 80 Washington place, East,
on the northwest corner of Green
street.
Some of the girls were crushed
to death by the fall of ten stories
to the pavement below, some were
smothered by smoke and others
were burned to Il crisp in the worst
fire that New York has known
since the steamship General Slo-
cum was burned in 1904.
Two Blocks From Broadway
In an incredibly short time a
quiet byway of commerce, within
two blocks of broadway and one
block of Washington Square, was
transformed into a blackened can
yon of death.
Nearly all, if not all. of the vic
TINS were employed by the Triangle
Shirtwaist Company on the eighth,
ninth and tenth floors of the ten
story loft building, which is on the
western fringe of the downtown
wholesale clothing, fur and milli
merry district.
The Partners Escape
The partners of the firm, Isaac
Harris and Max Blanck, escaped
unscathed from the office on the
tenth floor, carrying with them
over an adjoining roof Blanck's
two young daughters and gov
erness. There was not an outside
fire escape on the building.
On the ninth floor fifty bodies
were found; sixty three or more
persons were crushed to death by
jumping and more than thirty
clogged the elevator shafts. The
loss of property will not exceed
500, 900.
Fall Clears the Street
Pedestrians going home through
Washington Square at 4:5O were
scattered by the whizz of some
thing rushing through the air be-
fore them; there was a horrible
flop on the pavement and body
fattened on the flags.
Wayfarers on the opposite side
of the street shaded their eyes
against the setting sun and saw
the windows of the three upper
floors of the building black with
girls crowding to the sils There
were no fire escapes.
Don't Jump!' Yells Crowd
Don't jump! Don't jumpi"
yelled the crowd. But the girls
had no alternative. The pressure
of the maddened hundreds behind
them and the urging of their own
fears were two strong. They be.
gan to fall to the sidewalk in a
terrible rain Of flesh and blood.
Four alarms were rung within
fifteen minutes. Before the en-.
gines could respond, before the
nets could be stretched or the lad
ders raised, five girls had fallen
from the eighth and ninth floors
so heavily that they broke through
the glass and iron roofs of the sub.
cellars and crashed through the
very streets into the vaults below
lie an hour the fire was out; in hal
an hour it had done it's worst
probably the death list was full il
twenty minutes.
No Outside Escape
The building stands on a corner
with exposure on two sides, bu
the only fire escape was interior
opening on . light and air shaft
In all there were seven exits-th
single FIRE escape, two freight ele
vators at the rear, two passenge
elevators in front and two stair
ways.

and scrambled thence to the roof
of the building occupied by the
American Book Company adjoin-
ing, or fled in the first rush for
safety before the crush and the
smoke grew too thick.
Building Only Smudged
The building stands tonight with
she'll intact and barely Scared
rather only smudged. The parti-
tions of architectural tiling between
floor and floor are sound. and it
is impossible for one who did not
see it to imagine how the flames in
SO short space could have wrought
such havoc. Seven hundred hands,
800 of them women, were employ
ed by the shirt waist company.
They sat in rows at their whirring
machines, the tables before them
piled with fiimsy cloth, the floor
Uttered with lint, the air itself full
of flying, inhamable dust.
The first rush of flame was al
most an explosion. Operators
died in their chairs, their lungs
scared by inhaIing flame. Others
were crowded into the elevator
shafts after the cars had made their
last trip. Still others were pushed
off the inadequate interior fire es-
cape.
Fire Nets Are Broken
In such horrible stream did
the bodies overflow from the win
dows that the fire net stretched by
the first company to arrive were
soon gorged beyond capacity.
Twelve bodies weighted one net to
the bursting point, but the bodies
kept on tumbling to the pavement
through meshes that could no long
er support them.
When the first breath of fame
curled over the edge of a pile of
shirting on the eighth floor, five
minutes before quitting time, hun
dreds were in line before the CASH
ier's window.
See Plunge to Death
In the Office buildings across
Washington place scores of men
detained beyond Office hours work
ed at their desks. One of them
saw a girl rush to a window and
throw up the sash. Behind her
danced a seething curtain of yellow
flame. She climbed to the sill,
stood in black outline against the
light, hesitating, then, with with a
last touch of futile thrift, slipped
her chatelaine bag over her wrist
and jumped.
Her body went whirling down
ward through the woven wire glass
of canopy to the tagging below.
Her sisters who followed famed
through the air like rockets. Their
path could be followed but hardly
heard. 1t WAS eighty-five feet
from the eighth floor to the ground,
about ninety-fve feet from the
ninth floor, 115 feet from the
cornice of the roof, and the up
ward rush of the draught and the
crackle of the flames drowned their
cries.
Grab Wire; it Breaks
Six girls fought their way to a
window on the ninth floor over
the bodies of fallen fellow work
ers and craw:ed out in single file
to an eight-inch stone ledge run.

More than a hundred feet above
