The property is owned by the Mime

John Haley, the local ice dealer. The
building contains quantity of ice
at the present time which was being
removed by workmen this morning

present stock of ice is removed until
it is thoroughly repaired.

Even then it was not known that

half later.

NOVEMBER WEATHER
INTERESTING STATISTICS ON NO.
VENIBER WEATHER ISSUED
BY HURON BUREAU.

Huron, Dec. 4.-The figures of the
monthly meteorological summary re-
Gently issued for the month of No
vember from the United States wealth
er bureau at Huron bear out other
statements that November of 1915
was in general pleasant month and
one furnishing ideal early winter
weather.
The highest reported temperature
was II degrees on the 9Th and the
lowest was IL degrees on the 14tb.
The greatest daily range was "a and
the least daily range was 10.
The mean temperature for the en-
tire month was established as 81 de-
grees. Comparisons, however, show
that of late years we have been for
tunate in pleasant November as the
mean temperature Of the three pre-
ceding years are higher. In 1914 1t
was 38, in 1913 it was 40 and In 1912
1t was 38. However, every November
after that was lower in temperature
than this one till 1904 is reached and
then there is another jump to 1899.

mild WINTER in Sight
MAN OF LONG RESIDENCE HERE,
THINKS THERE WILL BE
LITTLE SNOW.

Indications point TO a comparative
ly mild winter for this district, in the
opinion of A b. Carter. of Water
town, long time resident in this
section of the state, who is today
transacting business and renewing
acquaintances in Madison.
Many who predict severe weather
and heavy SHOWS give as basis for
their opinion the unusually high and
well fortified winter quarters musk
rats have built this fall, said Mr..
Carter. There is, no doubt, good
reason for these unusually tall musk
rat houses, but I do not think they
were constructed that way in antici-
patton of extraordinarily deep SHOWS,
but because there is much more than
the average amount of water this
year in sloughs, streams and lakes. =
Mr.. Carter gave as one reason for
his belief that there will not be a
great deal of snow this winter, the al
most unprecedented amount Of rain
that fell during the summer He
said 1t had been his experience that
about so much moisture comes every
twelve months, and that heavy SHOWS
usually follow comparatively dry
summers.

SERIOUS CHARGE
Several Tripp Men May BE Made De-
PENDANTS i'm Action Under
Mann Act.

Trip, Dec. because several
male residents of Tripp are alleged
to have induced some Sioux City
young woman to come to the city for
alleged unlawful purposes, there is a
prospect that the Trip men involved
will soon be made defendants in a
criminal action in the United States
court for South Dakota charging vio-
lation of the white slave law. Sew
eral of the men involved have been
given the third degree, and 1t is said
one or two of them have confessed.
Should this prove to be true they
doubtless will be used as witnesses
against the others If the federal au-
thorities make arrests in the case.

DR.. Caine and Commissioner Dohlen

attend meeting of the commissioners
from the four counties interested in
the establishment of a tuberculosis
hospital. At meeting of citizens OF
Stevens, Pope, Grant and Douglas
counties held at Glenwood three weeks
ago DR.. Caine and Mr.. Dohlen were
chosen to represent Stevens county.
The meeting Tuesday will be for the
purpose of selecting site and max
ing other arrangements for the hospit-
al.
Only two towns are out to secure
the hospital. They are Glenwood and
Alex andria. Unless the project falls
through it is very likely Glenwood
will be named because of its central
location and excellent water and other
facilities.

John Got Badly Snubbed
Morris New Year Revelers Left
Society's Friend Outside

Morris welcome to the baby year
was very quiet except for the loud and
continued shrieks from the power
house whistle. some revolver shooting
and loud vocal salutes on the down
town streets. The arrival of the new
year found practically all the cafes
and hotels deserted and all but one
church was dark. While gay old
Gotham was tangoing, corks popping
like battery of machine guns in Min
neapolls cafes, and twenty thousand
joy seekers in Chicago restaurants
spent quarter of million dollars in
bubblewater and the more plebian line
of drinks, Morris was quietly sitting
on the lid.
Two hours before the arrival of
Baby 1915 every liquor store in Nor
ris closed their doors tightly and the
jewellers who poured out were about
the most temperate bunch seen on the
streets at that hour of the night for
the whole year. In Minneapolis the
lid was torn off and thrown away and
at four O'Clock in the murning many
men and women in the advanced stages
OF alcoholic poisoning were cIinging to
the light posts and causing the police
men no end of embarrassment. Nor
ris furnished a strange contrast.

In many private homes in Morris
quiet celebrations were being held.
Neighbors and friends gathered to
greet the new year and the evening
was spent in cards. dancing and
other forms of amusement. At only
one public hall in the city could one
find evidences of life. A dance was
going on there but it was an Sin
vitation" affair and only select
crowd of young people were present.
At every gathering so far as Annwr

Fnlnegan's Salary Cut.
All Postmasters Receiving More
Than $4,000 Get Hit

The postofice committee of the
House at Washington is remembering
the postmasters in its efforts to econo-
mize. Postmaster Finnegan in this
city will have to undergo the opera
tion of his salary cut to the extent of
5000 if the committees plan is put
through.
A dispatch from Washington saws
that the committee has voted to reduce
the salaries of the higher paid post
masters. Postmasters now drawing

600. others to 81. 500. some to $5, :
600 and some to $5, 500. Some stay
at Sc. 600 and some are advanced to
So, 600.
The greatest reduction will be made
in postofhces of the second class. At
present the salaries of the postmasters
in these Offices range from So, 900 to
So, 900. In the new schedule only
two salaries will be provided. All
who are getting over So, 900 and under
So, 500 will receive So. 600, and those
drawing more than So, 500 and less
than So, 900 will get So, 500.
The salary in Morris is So. 200 and
will therefore be affected by the salary
reductions.
