FIRST PRARlE
FIRE OF YEAR

Steele, N. D., April 6.--A prairie fire
was seen southeast of town heading
toward the railroad near the Carroll
farm, and a number of citizens got
into rigs and started for the place. H.
M. Smith teIephoned in that help
would be needed. The farm was un-
tenanted and Mr.. Smith lives nearest
on the north side Of the track. There
was a big smoke about dinner time
and shortly after, but there is low
place south and west Of the house and
prompt aid saved the building.
The fire started from a straw stack
ON the John Lippert place, the former
D. b. Miller farm, the children having
fired a straw stack while their father
was away at Steele. The old farm was
right in the track Of the fire but the
occupant H. I. Schnautz, got busy and
with help saved the buildings, though
much of the range was burned over.

travelling in special trains and making
rear platform speeches, men OF ma

make addresses in many cities of the
state.
Wilson of New Jersey started early
today from Peoria, and before the day

special train, which is to carry him
through Rockford. Freeport, Dixon,

Tonight Roosevelt will address a
mass meeting at Springfield and he
will spend Sunday in that city.
On Monday morning he will start
eastward, speaking at number OF
Illinois points, including Danville, the
home of former Speaker of the House
Joseph G. Cannon.
Taft's managers have also planned

TAFT EXPLAINS
RELIEF MEASURES.

Washington, d. c.. April g.
President Taft today sent letters
to Chairman Fitzgerald of the
house appropriations committee
and Senator elect James of Ken
tucky, bearing on relief measures
for the Mississippi flood sufferers.
I do not think it wise to make
any appropriation for the purpose
Of buying food and other supplies
until the officers reach the ground
and give us sorne idea of the
amount needed and the extent of
suffering and desttution," said
Taft in the letter to Fitzgerald.
Meantime, before any appro-
priadon is made" he continued,
the secretary of war will not
hesitate to use army supplies for
whatever is Immediately needed
and 1 have no doubt he has near
at hand a sufficient amount to re-
lieve such suffering as can be re-
lieved in that way"
The letter TO James had prac-
tically the same information.
