$4,000 Fire atPeever
Whole Block Destroyed Including Business
Places and Residences.

Peever suffered serious fire
last Friday morning, all of the
buildings in one block being de-
stroyed. The wind was blowing
very hard and for time much
larger portion of the town was
threatened. AS it was, the loss
will foot up about $4,000.
Among the buildings burned was
one that was built of oak lumber,
which gave out greater amount
of heat than any of the others,
so much so that buildings across
the street would surely have
taken fire but for the bravery of
Ben Faribault, an Indian. He
climbed a telephone pole where
he could throw water onto the
front of the buildings most ex.
posed, and remained there, not
withstanding that his face was
blistered by the fierce heat,
pouring on the pals of water
that was handed him, until all
danger was over. Chief Police
Mcdonald of this city was there,
and speaks in the highest praise
of Faribault.
Although the loss is a heavy
one, our hustling neighbors will
doubtless rebuild in q much
more substantial manner than
before. The most lamentable
feature of the affair is the fact
that some of the heaviest losers
had no insurance, while the loss
of others is only partially cover.
ed. The fire is said to have
started in a place where some
men had been having a jolly
night of it.
One of the people most hard
hit was Mrs. Geo. Mccormick
formally of this CITY. She had
just got nicely started in the
hotel business and was burned
out of house and home. Some
of her furniture was saved and
she will try and find a new
location to start in again.

Forms Prepared for Use of
Assessors

Pierre.-The state tax COM
mission has prepared series of
forms of returns for assessors to
use with their assessment work.
Apparently the law as it stands
requires separate form for re-
turns by different officers, and
the attempt has been to get
along with one form for all as
sesment work. The new forms
cover returns by county assess
ors; by deputy county assessors;
civil township assessors, city as
SCISSORS and assessors of incor-
porated towns, each of which is
required to make return under
a different form, by the law
governing assessments.

The Zenith Club

One of the most pleasant and
interesting meetings of the year
was held at the home of Mrs. O.
T. Axness, Thursday afternoon,
January eight. The club mem

one good New Years resolution
for every member was present
and on time. After the usual
business meeting and critics re-
port, Mrs. j. 0. Andrews con-
Quoted the first half of the meet
ing, the subject under discussion
being Historical Criticism of
Macbeth. +" The topic was con-
sidered under three heads: (a)
History and Source of the play.
I(b) Determination Of Date of
Composition and Publication. (c)
Study Of Social and Literary
Background. The questions
which Mrs. Andrews had pre-
pared brought out interesting
sidelights on the difference be-
tween the true history of Mac
beth and Shakespeare's version
of it, and on the social life in the
court circle and among the play
wrights of the Elizabethanperiod.
After the usual intermission
in which refreshments were
served by the hostess, Mrs. d. F..
Stevens conducted the last lesson
on the program, walter Scott's
Life and Favorite Works" The
topics given out by Mrs. Stevens
brought out all the interesting
and sad features Of the life of
this greatly beloved author, an
estimate Of his work as a poet
and prose writer, the names of
the novels founded on Scotch,
English and Continental history,
and those classed as personal" !"

Charged with Embezzlement.

A Wahpeton special says: "A
preliminary hearing in the case
of the state VS.. Frank Henderson,
accused of embezzlement, was
held here on Tuesday and Wed
nesday of this week, before Rev.
VIM. Edwards of Christine, just
ice of the peace of Richland coun-
ty.s
Henderson, who was auditor
and superintendent of the Fair
mount & Veblen r. f. Co., was
arrested in December, after an
accountant had Investigated his
books, and he is charged with
having embezzled about $4,000 of
the company's money.
The hearing was mostly taken
up with arguments of the oppos-
ing lawyers in the case, and the
case was adjourned to Jan. 9th.
During the interval a careful ac-
counting will be made of the
books, to determine if the charges
made can be subsJantiated

bring suit for $4,000 damages

this is not established.

the Peever Pilot, printed immedi-
ately after the fire.
At 4:3O this morning fire was
discovered in the rear of the
Woodman hall, occupied by M.
o. Sjoberg. George Harris gave
the alarm and practically every
able bodied man in town turned
out to fight the flames. By the
time enough had arrived to have
any effect, the fire had made
such headway that the block was
doomed and it looked as if the
whole town would go.
The men went to work at once
at what seemed a hopeless task,
that of holding the fire in the
one block. Part of the crowd
devoted their attention to the
east side of the street and others
concentrated their efforts to the
south side and after an almost
superhuman effort, succeeded in
preventing the fire spreading be-
yond the one block although the
buildings across the street were
several times ignited.
In view of the fact that the
water from all the nearby wells
was used up quickly, it seems
marvellous that more damage was
not done.
f, Milbank was wired for assist
ance and relief train with two
tanks of water was hurried to
the rescue, but the fire was un-
der control when they arrived.
The buildings destroyed we're

corpuscles in the blood, for they
cease to function under the use
of alcohol. Hobson estimates
that alcohol is ten thousand
times more destructive than war.
The report of the California
Peace Society makes these com
parsons. "In two hundred
years, war has killed fourteen
million people; every year alcohol
carries off three million five
hundred thousand lives" That
is, in four years, the victims Of
alcohol number the same as the
! victims of war in two hundred
years making alcohol fifty times
more destructive than war. The
same report says that alcohol
degenerates the red man, the
black man and the noblest white.
Uncle Sam recognizes the in
jury it does the Indian and pro-
hibits it's sale to them. The
people of the South know the
evil effects of liquor on the negro
and are trying to prevent it's
sale to them. AS for the effect
of alcohol upon the white man,
we have only to consult the
warden of the penitentiary at
| Sioux Falls to find out what a
large percentage of crime it is
responsible for. We have only
to look around us to see how
much pauperism can be laid at
its door, and DR.. Mead of the
hospital for the insane at Yank-
ton, asserts that alcohol is the
cause of large part of the cases
of insanity in the hospital under
his charge. Very soon South
Dakota must build another
hospital to care for these un.
fortunateS. How much better it
would be if people would only
take steps to prevent the sale OF

South American Letter
Closing Lines of the Interesting
Series by Bessie Dunn Beck.
At eight O'clock in the evening
we had the religious ceremony
of our marriage. They had
decorated the rooms very beauti-
fully. There are a great many
flowers and green things here
so that they made the rooms into
bowers of beauty. An orchestra
had been engaged for the oc-
casion so that we had Lohen
grin's wedding march. AS our
baggage did not come through
with US, we had to be married in
borrowed clothes, but that did
not matter much. A number of
invited guests as we'll as the
boys were present. After the
ceremony a wedding supper was
served to the invited guests and
teachers. We had a great big
wedding cake and I wish l could
have sent you all some. This
seemed more like wedding than
the civil marriage and we surely
appreciated all they did for US.
We have been here now a
month and have been very busy

Commercial departments. There
are over 200 pupils and fifty of
them are "internos," that is they
live at the school. One evening
Frank and 1 entertained the
Commercial boys and another
evening the internos came to
visit us.
There is so much that could be
said of the people and of the city
but 1 shall have to save that for
some other time. 1t is enough
to say that we are happy here
and believe we are doing good
work. Results are slow in such

registered very low, and a strong
wind was blowing, large audi
ience gathered at the New Grand
Sunday evening to listen to an
address by Pres. Nash of the
Aberdeen Normal and Industrial
school. Mr.. Nash is a man of
strong and attractive personality,
brilliant in intellect, fluent in
speech, keen in reasoning and
the possessor of splendid,
powerful physique. The Mems
n BChristian and Civic Association
+ feels proud of having been the
means of securing for the citi-
zens of Sisseton the opportunity
of listening to so inspiring a
speaker.
The subject of the talk was
"The Trinity of Civic Virtues"
and these virtues, said Mr..
Nash are honesty, sobriety, and
chastity. The American people
have justly been proud through
all the past years Of this wonder
full country of ours with it's
bOundleSs resources and it's
wealth of opportunity, and they
point with pride to the strides of
progress it has made. But
great as is the American nation,
we must improve conditions if
we would maintain and increase
our prosperity and progress, for
our country cannot live of itself.
In all ages it has been regarded
as noble to die for ones country,
but to live and live worthily is
far better than to die. In these
days there is greater demand
for honesty, we'll balanced with
courage and commen sense, than
there ever has been before. We
need more honesty in the busi-
ness world. How often are we
informed by the daily papers of
railroad accident caused by a
defective steel rail. The people
should demand that such honesty
exist in the manufacture of steel
rails that an accident cannot
happen because of a dishonest
rail. There is greater need for
honesty in the manufacture of
food products and of drugs, and
so strongly are the people insist
ing upon this that much is being
done to abolish adulterated
foods and drugs. We must have
more honesty in regard to dis
charging our personal obliga-
tions. A young man was once
informed that he was the heir tC
his fathers estate. The lawyers
also told him that the estate was
encumbered with large debt
from which they could free him

the young man. When he was
told he had. he replied that he
would meet every one of these
obligations and he went to work

greater need for honesty among
children. A little boy when
