GARDEN CITY FIRE THOUGHT
OF lNCENDIARY ORIGIN

Garden City. S. D., Nov. 29.-Since
the recent disastrous fire here, which
destroyed property to the value Of
$4,000 in the business district, he
suspicion that the fire was of ircen-
diary origin has been growing stronger,
and an investigation now is being
quietly made in the hope that a clew
can be secured which will result in
the arrest of the guilty person. Six
business houses We're destroyed, leav-
Ing but three standing in that half Of
the block. The fire, as near as can be
ascertained, started in a small room
above q barber shop and soon spread
to adjoining buildings and caused the
worst fire in the history OF Garden

ROUGH SAILING
AHEAD FOR BILL

WASHINGTON. July 3O.-Repubh-
that they do not propose to hasten
consideration of the tariff bill If the
president and democratic leaders OF
congress are going 10 insist upon the
enactment OF currency legislation at
this session. Sen. Gallinger declared
that the republicans were in no tenn
per to be forced ard Sen. Lodge in
sisted that assurances OF a prolonged
hot summer session would not be con-
ducive to fastening tariff action.
Discussion on this point arose when
Sen. Gallinger sought information as
to the intent OF the democrats. Sen.
simmons said he hoped that the re-
publicans were not making threats TO
delay purposely passage Of the tariff,
which all business interests wanted
settled speedily. Republican senator's
assured him that they were making
no threats. but tina il was bound TO
follow that there would be no haste
with the tariff unless an early adjourn
ment should be the inducement
therefor.
Sen. Gallinger said that reading in
the morning papers every day that the
president would insist on holding con
gress here TO enact currency legisla-
ton would not speed up action on the
tariff. Sem. Lodge added that it was
most unwise TO demand action on such
important legislation as the currency
of a tired out" congress-.
Progressive republicans disclaimed
any intention to delay voting on the
tariff unnecessarily, despite wha else
might be in store, Sen. Borah declar-
ing that statements 10 the contrary
from other sources did not express the

NAME.
Tricks of the Type.

The Missouri editor who apologized
last week for speaking OF a prominent
society woman as a ''colored lady,
should cheer up, says the Brookfield
Gazette. He is not the only victim
Of the intelligent compositor. Here
are a few amusing mistakes that have
occurred recently in Missouri papers:
One editor wrote, The young man
called Justify for assistance" but it
appeared in the paper, The young
man called Justify for his sisters
aunts." Another editor ended an ac-
count Of fire with The barn was
reduced to a mass OF ruins" but the
cOmpositor made it read The barn
was reduced TO a mass OF onions"
Still another paper in telling about a
COW being cut into halves by a rail-
road train, grayely announced that
the COW had been cut into calves. We
presume that the compositor was OF
the opinion that as long as the word
rhymed II made little difference
whether it made sense or net. But
none Of these Is as bad as one mat

Peculiar Natural Fact,

One OF the puzzles OF nature is the
fact that many springs show an in
creased flow Of water several hours
before a coming rain begins 10 fall
Various explanations have been at
tempted, the most plausible being
that the weather before a storm is
often OF the kind which checks loss
OF moisture from the ground By
evaporation and hence leaves nor,
TO feed the springs.
