A HORR|FY|NG LOSS

AFLoAT BUT FOUR HOURS AZ.
TER HITTING ICEBERG.
HELP FAILS TO REACH SHIP
Giant Liner Had Disappeared When
Steamer Carpathia Arrived at the
Scene of the Disaster-Survivors
Found in Lifeboats.

Boston.-A wireless message, relayed
from the Olympic, says that the Car
pathia is on her way to New York
with S66 passengers from the setamer
Titanic aboard. They are mostly wo-
men and children, the message said, and
it concluded:
Graves fears are felt for the safe
ty of the balance of the passengers
and crew"
While the fate of the majority of
the 2,lO0 persons on board the mann
moth White Star liner Titanic, which
sank on the Newfoundland banks after
collision with an iceberg, still re-
mains in doubt. and it is inferred that
more than 1900 persons we're lost, a
note Of good cheer came from the
ocean waves by wireless.
1t was in the shape of wireless
message from the White Star liner
Olympic, one of the vessels lowering
near the scene. OF the disaster, flash
ing the news that S66 of the Titanic's
passengers, mostly women and child
rem. were brought to port by the Gu
harder Carpathia. Other messages
later brought confirmatory tidings.
First reports were that the Carpa-
thia had saved but 675 persons. The
new figures reduced the list of those
for whose fate fear was felt by nearly
200, and If, as seems probable, prac-
tically all those saved we're passen-
gers, 1t would appear that all but ap-
proXimately 460 of the vessels pas
sengers are counted for partial
Hist OF the survivors received from the
Carpathia includes the names of many
women of prominence who were on the
steamer.

Picked UP BY Tornado and Set Down
Uninjured.
O'Neill, Neb.-Friday evening about
o'clock terrific storm swept over
the northeast part of the county, do
ing but little damage until it reached
the home of r. o. Carley, who lives
about eighteen miles northeast of this
city. Here it seemed to strike the
ground and reduced the house, barns,
sheds. pens and fences to kindling
wood. The father, seeing the storm
bearing down on his home, rushed to
the house and took three of his child
rem In his arms and locked his fingers
close on them. The mother took the
other two and did the same, hoping
thereby to keep them from being blown
away. When the storm struck the
house was picked up and carried sew
erA rods before it was demolished.
The father was struck by some OF the
timbers and severely injured, which
caused him to lose his hold on his
children. A little 4-year-old girl was
picked up and blown with the storm
for over half a mile. After the storm
the neighbors turned out and search
began, and about 10 o'clock a neigh
Dor on horseback espied the little girl
on knoll during fash of lightning
and rode to her. She was found alive
and said her parents had been burned
up and she was lost. The man told
her her parents were all right and he
would take her to them. She said
that II he took her home he must also
take her pup and pet pig. Strange
enough the pup and pig were found
near her and had been with her since
she was torn from her fathers arms
The whole family were more or less
bruised and little 2-year-old son.
Robert, was so severely injured that he
died Sunday. A little baby is badly
bruised and pounded with the hail. its
head being covered with bruises. The

meeting, and they were all in favor
of the proposed line from Sioux Falls
through Hartford, Humboldt, Mont
rose to Salem, and thence north to con-
meet with the proposed east and west
line from Brookings to Deadwood by
the way OF Pierre. The Sioux Falls

School Clerk Writes.


Hot Springs.-Suit has been ordered
brought against the members of

his business letterhead which was of
fically signed in pencil The letter
said:
Dear Madam: Yours at hand this
is all the board can do to help you
If wee payed any moore wee wood
not have any mony to pay the teach
er and then the children could not
go to school then you should try
and help some to do the best and
get along some way
do not feed the horse to much grain
or he will run way and you will
want us to pay fore The Kids. resp"
State Superintendent Lawrence has
Informed Mrs. Thompson that her
claim is valid and state that this is not
optional with the school board, and
that If they have not the funds on
hand they must issue warrants which
will bear interest. He advises her
that If the board refuses to obey the
law in this matter they may be com.
pelled to do so by mandamus proceed
ings brought in the circuit court.

TnREsnERs MUST Be CAREFUL
New Law Requires Much Care 10 Pre-
vent Spread OF NOxlous Weeds

Under the law it is necessary
for threshers to use the great
est caution to avoid carrying
foul weed seeds from one farm
to another. The law provides
that before moving from one
farm to another the separator
shall be cleaned, inside by be.
ing run long enough to dislodge
any foul seeds that may be
within, and outside by sweep
ing the surface. 1t also pro-
vides that all wagons and racks
must be swept in like manner
and further that a printed copy
of the law must be posted on
every threshing, separator used
in the state. The penalty for
a violation of this law is a fine
of $40 to $50 or Imprisonment
or both.
Threshermen can procure
copies of the law at The Cour-
ant Office for Is cents.

HARVEST HAS COMMENCED
Quite a Number Of Farmers In This
Vicinity are Cutting Wheat

Early in the week a good
deal of early oats and barley
was cut in this vicinity and as
early as Wednesday afternoon
a number of farmers turned in
to the wheat fields. Harvest.
ing, if the weather holds good,
will be general next week.
The demand for twine and
labor has been strong and while
there is no serious shortage of
either at this time many people
are worried over the reported
scarcity of twine. Some, how
ever, believe it is case where
a monopoly has been secured
and the twine famine stories
circulated to make a basis for
a big raise i'm the prices. Feed
is rather scarce and it is likely
that some early threshing will
be done on account of the
scarcity of oats on the market.

we'll adapted to winter wheat.
1t should be seeded with a one
horse drill at the rate of four
pecks per acre early in August.
The corn should be picked and
the stalks left standing. If the
fodder is wanted four rows
might be cut and two left
standing to catch the drifting
snow. If the winter wheat
fails to winter, the land can be
put in spring grain and the
only loss will be the seed that
is sown. Probably our present
varieties of Turkey Red winter
wheat will fail oftener then
they will succeed when planted
in stubble and corn as above
described.
