C~HILDREN'S HOMES
Discussion 1 Convention i'm Session
i'm Sioux Falls.

Sioux Falls, Feb. 12.-"It is poor
theology and worse psychology to say
the boy has the old Adam in him and
cannot be good" was one of the
startling statements made by Rev. S.
ID. Dickinson of st. Paul. a speaker
before the superintendent of Chill
Gren's Homes. who are holding their
annual meeting at the Carpenter
hotel.
"All children" he continued,
have vivid imaginations and often
tell stories to appear grown up. The
imagination is a valuable factor, If
properly governed. Children are
shrewd psychologists themselves and
size up grown people unerringly.

society has, or should have a flexible
place. You have been able to dem
onstrate to judges that even though
a boy is bad and a pest to the town
in which he lives, he is able to make
good under different environment
and under the kindly supervision OF
a just and upright farmer"
DR.. w. III. Thompson of Pittsburgh
called attention to the four methods
of caring for dependent children:
institutional, aid work, placing out
and home placing. The latter meth
cd received his full sanction and was
characterized as the best. inasmuch
as 1t makes a permanent settlement
of the dependent child.

RAIN and SNOW
STREETS COVERED WITH ICE
AND WIRE SERVICE SUS-
PENDED FOR A TIME.

A rain storm came upon this sec
ton from the northeast early last
evening and continued throughout
the night with a temperature of 80
degrees above zero. This morning
the streets and sidewalks were COW
cred with ice to a thickness of half
an inch and trees were bent low with
loads if ice hanging or the limbs and
twigs. Pedestrians were in danger
of accident on the slippery sidewalks
until business men sprinkled guam
titles of salt on them which caused
the ice to melt. With rising temper
ature during the forenoon the rain
increased in volume, but temperature
being above the freezing point little
inconvenience was experienced from
this source during the day.
The telephone company was the
hardest hit, wires falling from their
load of ice in various parts of the
city, a main feeder at the corner of
Harth avenue and Fourth street with
about fifty wires sagging down upon
the electric light wires, making nee
essary the shutting down of the cleo
trio service. This stopped the move
ment of all electric motors in the city
and also lighting service. This con-
tinued until II o'clock when the tel
ephone wires had been d~isentangled
from the electric wires and the cleo
trio plant resumed service, but there
was interruption of the service again
in the afternoon, resuming about a
o'clock.
Supt. Phifer of the telephone ex-
change, reported at noon fifteen poles
down and about 10 0phones out of
commission in different parts of the
city. He had men out during the day
looking after his wires and doing the
best work possible under the circum-
stances. On Monday morning a crew
of telephone linemen will arrive in
the city and the plan will soon be
placed in normal condition. Supt.
Phifer states that the storm is fully
as hard on the telephone wires as the
big storm of May /, four years ago,
except that there is less wind. At
that time the system of wires was
entirely Frustrated throughout the
city. From outside points Supt. Phi
fer learns that a heavy now storm
prevailed at Aberdeen yesterday aft
ernoon and all night. At Huron the
storm was heavy and wire communi-
cation is badly crippled. At Sioux
Falls rain prevailed during the night
with a temperature of 81 degrees
above zero which prevented sleet
forming on the wires. Long distance
telephone from Madison is badly
crippled.
Toward noon the rain turned to
snow which continued falling
throughout most of the afternoon.
Trainmen report the rainfall much
heavier on the west line during the
night than here, but on the north
line it was less severe. Trains arriv-
ed and departed on time in the morn
ing, but there was delay in the ar
rival of trains this afternoon.

abolish the Springfield normal on
committee report, in which they fail
ed after a short struggle. Those
backing the bill got it put on the
floor for a final vote. While there
have been efforts in several sessions
to cut this school from the state list.
the outlook of dropping Bon Homme
from the list of appropriation
ties never appeared yuite as threat
ening as it does at this time.
The bill to make daily Bible read
ing in the public schools of the state
compulsory started a furry of talk,
but on a vote the opponents failed to
make enough showing to count.
In the senate the bill for municipal
suffrage for women was put over un-
til Monday by the votes of the friends
of the measure, who were not ready
to put it to a final test.
The joint judiciary committee has
been working on a bin to meet the
claim that there is no constitutional
provision for cities of more than
three classes which has been raised
in regard to commission governed
cities. This issue was raised by JUS
tice Gates in his paper before the
meeting of the state bar association.
The committee will probably draft a
bill which will cover the objections
to the law as ii now stands, and in
troduce it within a few days, to get
action before the spring elections are
required to be announced.
Representative Bielski of Hakkon
county has just returned from a trip
to his home at Philip, where he went
to greet twin son in his family, the
lusty young Representatives" arriv-
ing Tuesday.
A bill is being prepared and will
be presented in a short time which
has for it's purpose the creation of
county hospitals at public expense,
to be maintained in such counties as
care to meet this expense in their OPP
erations.
The liquor interests of the state
are materially interested in the pro-
visions of the license limitation act,
which they say will be a hard propo-
sition to comply with in securing the
required vote for license. and also on
the provisions of house bill 251,
which ties the drug stores down to
the closest possible limitation in the
handling of intoxicating liquors of
any character. They are busy along
both lines and are attempting to get
such notifications as will give them
more leeway than the bills allow
them as they are drawn.
The resolution for a prohibition
amendment to the constitution has
been drafted and will be presented to
the legislature. 1t provides for a
vote at the next general election. If
tn proposition is given a majority
prohibition will become effective
July i, 1917.
The Urdahl bill, changing the Gus
todianship of the statehouse from the

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

strong German movement has begun
in East Prussia, where very large
German forces have been concentrat-
ed. Contemporaneously the Rus
sian general staff admits this in its
official statement, and possibly these
new offensive operations are those to
which a Berlin dispatch recently re-
ferred as impending and as promising
decisive results and perhaps a big
victory.
In Poland and the Carpathians the
battles which have been under way
for weeks past are progressing, but
details are lacking in the various of
fetal reports.
The Austrians still claim TO be
making advances in the Carpathians,
and report Russian repulses.
In the west, particularly in the Ar
gonne and the Vosges, there have
been German attacks on the allied
lines, and Newport and the district
along the User have been heavily
bombarded.
In a note to the German govern
ment dealing with the recent German
proclamation of a war zon in waters
around Great Britain and Ireland the
United States government declares
that it will hold Germany to a strict
account for the destruction of Amer
lean vessels or the loss of American
lives, and that in such event Ii would
take all necessary steps TO safeguard
American citizens and property.
In a note to the British govern
ment with respect to the use of the
American flags by British ships the
United States government calls at
tention to serious consequences
which may result to American YES
sells and American citizens if this
practice is continued"
The note expresses the hope of the
United States government that the
British government will do all in its
power to restrain vessels Of British
nationality in the deceptive use of
the United States flag in the sea area
defined by the German declaration"
Great Britain has forwarded its
reply in full to the United States gov
ernment's protest against the deten-
ton of American shipping by British
warships.
Premier Asquith, in the house of
commons, stated that Great Britain
was arranging for more stringent
measures against German trade, sin
view of the violation by the enemy
of the rules of war"
Answering the question in the
house of commons as to whether to
end the terrible loss of life Great
Britain was prepared to ?
basis on which the allies were willing
10 discuss peace, Foreign Secretary
Grey declared that the recent utter.
anees in Germany give no reason tc
suppose that the purposes in view
will be promoted by adopting the
course suggested"
A news agency dispatch from Der
lin says a conference of German fin
anciers with the finance minister has
been called to discuss a new 1880
600, 900 loan which is required for
The continuance of the war.
Emperor William has again gone
to the eastern war front.
The strength of the Serbian army
is placed at 100000 men and Serbia

lieved to be imminent.

 FAGERBURG VERDICT

The case of II. M. Fagerburg vs. Thomas Carstens came up in the dis trict court on a motion for a new trial. The court denied the motion, but mod flied the amount of damages that the jury found for the plaintiff from $4.725 to sS.OOO.
 This suit arose from the attachment of property by the U. s. Marshal pend ing suit brought by Carstens for the recovery of money advanced to Al. Fagerberg. It was claimed that the property attached at Mccarthy belonged to H. Nj. Fagerburg, a broth CT of the defendant, and the suit was for restitution and damages. It is probable that the case will go to the circuit court of appeals. which Is the court of last resort in cases of this kind.

The jury believed everything that Roosevelt said about Barnes was true, and that therefore he was not libeIled. The costs of the litigation were as- sessed against Barnes.
