the people. A pure, wholesome play
without one single word to offend
endorsed by all. Not only a beauti-
ful play, but the moral it teaches
places it in the front ranks as an ed
ucational play for u sons and
daughters. The beautiful character
of Thelma is a revelation; the sturdy
old Norseman, her father, Is a strik-
ing character, depicting the old Vik-
ing chiefs as they were when mon
archs of the high seas. Sigurd, the
cripple, the devoted slave of Thelma,
is a great character; Philip Erring-
ton is a distinct type of the noble
English gentleman, and his friend,
George Lorimer, a delightful, breezy
part that enliyens the play with a
vein of comedy in keeping with the
story; Lady Winsleigh, a complex
mixture of good and bad, a distinct
type of the refined English lady; Len
nox, her accomplish. and also her
husband, Lord Winsleigh, n splen-
did parts; old Levisa, the witch, is
another wonderful type.
The play is entertaining from the
first line opening with the principal
characters, and holds the interest un-
til the last moment as the old Viking
sails down the Alton Fjord in his
blazing ship on his last great voyage.

TRAIL DAY
Over 800, 900 Worth of Work Done
In Edmunds County.

Ipswich, May 25.-The Parmley
highway, through Edmunds county.
was lined with men and teams work
ing on Yellowstone trail. Each tele-
phone pole along the 40 miles in this
county was marked with a band of
yellow and telegraph reports all
along the trail report thousands of
men and teams at work. President
Parmley of the trail, in an inter-
view, said Trail day was a great sue
cess. Weather conditions were ideal.
A conservative estimate Of the work
done today placed it at 500, 900, but
the enthusiasm created and the pub
LEFTY obtained amounted to more.
Thorough marking, dragging, drain
ing and repairing were the ends
sought and accomplished. The day
| will go down in the history Of the
northwest as the first great road day
and mark an epoch in its develop
ment. George N. Kennison, travelling
representative of the trail, returning
from Washington, ID. c., stopped here
tonight to confer with President
Parmley and reports pronounced en-
thusiasm on the part of the congress
sional delegations of Minnesota, the
two Dakotas and Montana, relative to
the road through Standing Rock
reservation.

HEAVY RAINS
THIS SECTION VISITED BY A
DOMINIQUE SATURDAY
EVENING.

A terrific rain prevailed in this sec
tion between 5 and 6 O'Clock Satur-
day evening, continuing at intervals
during the night. The amount of the
rainfall is variously estimated at
from two to three inches and with
the heavy storms during the week
the rainfall is estimated at not less
than six inches for the week. Yes
terday was threatening, but no rain
fell during the day. About IL o'clock
last night, however, a storm came up
from the southwest which was some
what peculiar. The storm approach
ed the city with a volley of thunder
and a sudden gust OF wind which im-
mediately died away and only a
slight spatter of rain followed. The
gust of wind sucked out a large plate
glass window of Il. l.. Peck's furni-
ture store and strewed the glass
north along the sidewalk on Egan
avenue, the stream of glass broken
into small pieces turning the corner
into East Sixth street. No other
damage in the city is reported.
Trainmen arriving this morning re-
port heavy rain along the lines north
and west, but 40 damage from wind
Fields are flooded, and this section
has not experienced as continuous
heavy rains in May for several years
past. So far as rain is concerned
all kinds of crops in this section are
insured.

HESSIAN FLY
ATTACKS THE CROPS In SOUTH.
ERN IOWA.

Ames, Ia, May 25.-For the first
time in some years, the dreaded Hes
sian fly made its appearance in a Sc
wheat fields. Farmers in Page and
adjoining counties who sen samples
of the insect that is affecting their
wheat crop to Prof. II. f. Summers,
of Iowa State college, state entomolo-
gist, had their worst fears confirmed
when he identified them as the de-
structive pest. Already serious in
festation has taken place.
With the department of agricul-
tural extension cooperating, the col
lege has taken immediate steps to
lend aid to the farmers in that part
of the state to combat the fly. r.. l..
Webster, assistant state entomolo-
gist, has already gone and C. S. Dor
chester, of the extension staff, will go
at one to Page county to study con-
ditions there and to advise the farm
.ers. Professor Dorchester will re-
main in the infested region for sew
eral weeks and will make personal
visits from farm to farm to advise as
to treatment.
Word has already been sent out
that where the Hessian fly is very
abundant, 1t is very important that
the crop be sacrificed and that the
fields be plowed under at once, turn
ing under as deeply as possible. They
may then be planted to corn. All
fields that are not plowei should De
burned over as soon as the crop is
harvested. This will kill the insect
on the stubble. as it is then in the
papa stage.
According to the local entomolo-
gists, prompt and thorough measures
are necessary if the wheat fields in
southwestern Iowa are to be saved
from a more serious infestation of
the fly next year.
