Asylum Is Guaranteed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The
Washington Asylum Hospital has
been quarantined against diphtheria.
Forty patients, including a physician
and three nurses, are under treat
ment and orders have been issued to
admit no more patients to the insti-
ton. The situation, however, it is
believed, may clear up in time to
permit of the revocation of the order
by early next week.
OF the total number Of patients
under treatment only three have
well developed cases, it is stated,
while the remainder have what is
known as carrier" cases These pa
tients, It is explained, present no out
ward symptoms of diphtheria, but
may be source of infection to 9TH
ers.
1t is believed the diphtheria cpl
demic has been checked, though 1t
has been one Of the most stubborn
the department has had to deal with
in recent years. A total of lis cases
has been reported to the department.

LEFOR SCHOOL

A large party of Lefor people Wis
tied the Lefor school No. 6, taught by
A.. E. Wing, on last Thursday. A
specially arranged program was nice
ly carried out and the children made
a fine showing in the different sub
jects pursued by them. A little dia-
logue by .Matz K. and John A. Lefor
and the Misses Pauline and Hazel
Enger vas greatly enjoyed by-all.
John K. Lefor carried home the
honor ribbon in the eighth grade
arithmetic. ~
Among those present. were: Adam
A. Lefor, who, at the conclusion of
the exercises, addressed the children,
praising them on the fine showing
they had made and giving them a lot
of good advice. Mr.. Lefor then pre-
scented each child with a large bag
of candy and a bright new %ten-cent
piece.
This is one Of the largest district
schools in the county, having nearly
fifty pupils in regular attendance and
this is Mr.. Wings second year teach
ing in the district. .5&s
Mr.. Lefor and the local school board
have been working hard for some time
on a plan for consolidating several of
the nearby schools and the building
of a large school in the little town.
A meeting of the people was held last
Saturday to consider the establish
ment of such a school this coming
fall.

PENSION FOR OLD OPERATOR
SENT MASSACRE STORY

La Crosse, Wis.,-John M. Carna-
han, who sent out from Bismarck, N.
D., one of the biggest stories the
Custer massacre on the Little Big
Horn in July, 1876-has just been
retired on pension. For seventeen
station of Bismarck. When he left
it was for Missoula, Mont, where he
remained for twenty-four years. At
the beginning of the new year Carna-
han, after completing mor than so
years work as an operator, retired,
and will hereafter draw a pension
from the corporation. He is now
planning to return to La Crosse after
waiting half a century.
On the night of July S, 1876, the
steamer Far West came down the
river and tied up at Bismarck, when
most people were in bed. The Far
West brought the wounded of Reno's
command. and the official dispatches
which told of the complete annihila-
ton of Clusters command.
On the morning of July 6 Carna-
han found. on his desk in the tele-,
graph office a. carpet bag filled. with
official dispatches. He sized up his
job FLASHED" the news to- the east
and, then settled down to the. trans
mission of the official story to the de-
partment of war at Washington.
/ 1t was 8 o'clock in the morning Of
July 6 that Carnahan started, on his
tremendous task. Until 5 O'clock the
following morning-tWenty-one hours
he did not leave the key. Coffee
and a sandwich were handed him now
and then during the long shift and a
towel was wet and placed on his head
at intervals.
He rolled upon a bed when o'clock
registered on July !7th. For three
hours he slept the sleep of utter, ,ex-
haustion. Then he was aroused and
returned to the key. For twenty
hours he sat at his desk, and it was
a o'clock the next morning when he
checked, off the signature of the last
l'dispatch in the old carpet bag.

NEW

A son was born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Cohee of Shollsmade on March
7. The Cohee's are now living on the
Dick Wilson farm in that neighbor-
hood.
The new telephone line into the
Strehlow neighborhood now has 81
patrons. The line will run straight
south to the Alfred Strehlow farm.
Here the line has two branches, one
going east and the other west. The
company has a fine membership to
start with and many more will I'M
d~oubtedly join. before the wire is
strung.
H. L. Thompson was brought be-
fore Justice John Van Bergen the
early part of last week charged with
the shooting of a horse belonging to
Robert Leacock, the complaining wit
less. States Attorney V. H. Crane
prosecuted the case while Attorney
Otto Thress appeared for the defense.
Mr.. Thompson was bound over to the
district court with bonds fixed at 5000.
The new Congregational church at
New England is now completed and
will be, dedicated Easter Sunday. The
work on this edifice was started last
fall but the cold weather came on
and its construction was at a stand
still until it moderated. The work
was started by Rev. J. E. Jones and
Rev. J. D. Dickey, the former is the
local pastors while the latter is the
district superintendent of missions.
J. G. Newkirk and A.. j. Culver have
had charge of the carpenter work,
while the materials have been looked
after by A. l.. Moore, the chairman of
the building committee. It will be re-
membered by the old timers that a
Congregational church was built by
the colonist from New England in
1887. But after many of the colon
lists had left the country the church
building was disposed Of, Mr.. Smith
purchasing it and converting it into
a store building. w. C. Mckenzie Sc
cured the building when he purch-
ased the Smith holdings and lost the
building by fire several years ago.

The Dickinson press., 1915-03-20

Canadian had sent 10000 words IN
the two shifts and the receipts Of his
office in those two days were $4,000.
But before he turned in Carnahan
sent a new story to the New York
Herald, the Chicago Inter Ocean and
the st. Paul Pioneer Press. For two
days the eastern papers had been
clamoring for a stroy, but there was
no n to send it. Carnahan could
not leave. his office work and there
was. no other telegraph operator with
IN 200. miles. He sent as much story
as ne had strength to prepare. And
that was the way the news of the
Custer battle was sent out.
AS fast as they could arrive special
correspondents hurried to Bismarck
to get the intimate details Of the
great story. Carnahan "sent" for IL
hours on n story. When he had
finished, the correspondent, O'Kelley,
handed him a $50 bill. That was his
personal perqisite, the tolls on the
special dispatch amounted to 1890:
there were $4,000 words. This was
the longest Of the news stories which
Carnahan sent.
Carnahan is the man who handled
the official correspondence between
President Grant and General Custer,
at Bismarck which preceded the little
Big Horn expedition and which has
always been supposed to have caused
the resentment which drove Custer to
recklessness on the fatal ride. But
that is a story Carnahan has v
told. During the fifty-three years at
a telegraph key many thrilling stor-
les have passed through his hands,
especially during the early years of
his career, when he was on the bord-
er between the north and the south
in the Civil war.
The Dickinson press., 1915-03-20

opposition to the highest military au-
thorities" and deplores their action
as tending to "weaken abroad the i'm
preston of complete German unanim-
ity." They should, it holds, wait for
a definite victory" before broaching
the subject of peace.
But is definite victory-anything
in the nature of a complete victory
possible for either side? To detached
American observers any such outcome
has long been improbable. One side
has visible advantages of resources;
the other has equally patent advant-
ages of position. These advantages
are so balanced that the only possible
outcome seemed a mutual exhaustion
that would really decide nothing.
When such conditions are realized
it is natural that WEAKNESS with the
war, arising not so much with it's suf-
ferings as from a perception of it's
probable futility, should grow in all
the nations engaged. Expressions Of
that weariness-of a growing desire
to find some basis of compromise and
settlement-have come from England,
France and even Russia. They are
now heard from Germany as we'll.
In time a difference Of opinion was
bound to arise in all the warning ma
tions between what may be termed
the producing and the destroying
classes-between those whose nature
and environment are militaristic and
the opposite. And in time that diff
ference was bound to be heard. The
more it is heard-the more prospec-
tive terms of peace are discussed
the sooner the war will end.
