THIEVES STEAL FLOUR.

Last Saturday evening while
John Erickson was attending the
basket ball game someone broke
into his 'elevatoron Railroad Ave.
and stole between Is and 100
sacks of -four.
1t was quite mystery for a few
days as to who the guilty parties
We're until one of them took a
little too much booze and started
to talk little more than was
healthy for him. Marshall Chad
dock was notified and after
Watching the man, who was
Henry BundrocI1, for sometime
he was satisfied that he IBund- :
rockl knew something about the
-four. He was arrested and plac-
in the city lail and locked up un-
til yesterday when he was
brought before Justice Of the
Peace, John Schultz. He plead
not guilty and was placed under
$1,000 bond to await trial. The
oond could not be raised so the
prisoner was taken to Webster
and lodged in the county jail.
Other arrests will no doubt
follow in a short time as their
are several others who are inn
plicated in the robbery. Wau-

SHOOTING
ACCIDENT
Young Farmer Boy Shot by
Younger Brother.

Willie Maoohl, 10 year old son
of Otto Marohl living southwest
of Hanllinson, received the full
charge from a shotgun accident
ally discharged by his younger
brother Arthur while a party of
a dozen neighborhood boys were
hunting rabbits six miles south
of Lidgerwo5d Friday afternoon.
He died Sunday morning from
shock and loss of blood.
The victim of the accident was
on his knees when the accident
happened and the entire load en-
tered the tleshy part of his leg
just above the knee. The bone
was broken and the unfortunate
victim suffered greatly from loss
of blood before he could be con-
veyed to the Lidgerwood hospi-
tai. The boys loaded their in
jured mate into a bobsleigh and
drove directly to the hospital.
The lad responsible for the
shooting is beside himself with
grief, and theaccident will doubt
less have wholesome effect as
to careleSsneSS with firearms on
the part of the entire party.
Deceased was one of the finest
young men of his neighborhood
quiet and unassuming but with
a depth of character that gave
promise of a useful life. His
death just on the dawn of man
hood is most untimely, and the
stricken family have the sym
pathy of all in their loss.

BURKE CR1TICEs PRESIDENT.

Washington - Representative
Burke of South Dakota took oc-
casion to denounce President
Wilson in the course OF a debate
in the house. Burke charged
that President Wilson had gone
far beyond his constitutional
rights in Interfering with the
work OF congress, and he pre-
diets that the time was not far
distant when political issue
would be made of executive 90
mination. The South Dakota
man pointed out that the lmmi-
grafton bill was passed by the
overwhelming vote of both hous
es, and in the face of this fact
thepresident vetoed the measure.
Mr.. Burke insisted that undue
influence had been brought to
bear by the administration to in
huence the Judgment of Demo-
cratic members on the ship bills.
He said Postmaster General Bur
Lesson had acted as the emiSSary
Of the president on the ship bill,
and he intimated that the post
master general had been chosen
! for this assignment because he
is the chief patronage dispenser
! of the administration.
1t is perfectly clear why the
postmaster general acted for the
president, observed Mr.. Burke.
1T was because he happens to
| have the ear of corn, in other
words. Democratic members
saw poStot1ice appointments in
their districts dangling inviting
ly before them, and they were
convinced that if they wanted
these jobs they would have to act
in conformity with the wishes
of the administration as express.

Most Urgent Duty.

Perhaps the most urgent OF the du-
ties OF the street cleaners is the re-
moval from the streets OF the cArcasses
OF dead animals, not only on account
OF the unsightliness of such objects.
but also because. especially in summer.
they are a menace to health. Singh
larry enough, in many American cities,
including those constantly exploiting
their civic improvement plans, there is
a lack OF cooperation between the po-
lice. to whose notice such matters nat
urally flrst fall, and the street cleaning
departments, so that the carcasses re-
main often for days before being re-
moved.
1t would certainly seem 4 necessary
preliminary to street planning to have
the streets free OF such impediments.
Street cleaning machinery consists
principally OF three classes-sprinkling
sweeping and removing apparatus.

The entire list, with a few unimport-

Ssistible influence OF an avalanche of
new buying orders. From time to time
this was partly neutraIized by a re-
newell of selling for profits on an enor-

ed in various stocks, while among in
