CARS ARE READY
PRECAUTIONS TAKEN TO GUARD
AGAINST SHORTAGE THIS
FALL.

Aberdeen, Aug. LEN order to
guard against any possible shortage
of freight cars this fall, and to facil-
itate what all railroad officials be-
lieve to be the biggest crop year on
record. Milwaukee officials have sent
out letters to agents all over the sys-
tenn urging them to see that all cars
are unloaded with the utmost dis
patch.
Fully 500 cars are on the side
tracks here to be sent to points on
the system in this locality when need
ed, and empties are being spotted on
the side tracks at all stations where
heavy shipments of grain are ex-
pected.
The Milwaukee road Is not the
only line taking these precautions
against a car shortage, however. for
the Northwestern. Minneapolis & st.
Louis and Great Northern roads are
all laying by their cars at convenient
points. ready to send them to points
where the demand is heaviest.
Already a few carload shipments
have been made from this section of
the state. but they are limited, what
grain has thus far been threshed is
being collected in elevators.

a pretty woman smiles at him?" ask
ed Frank Calkins, the chauffeur who
is facing a second trial OF the charge
that he firted with Mrs. G~eorgiana
JUL, Evanston p~olicewoman. One
Jury failed to bring in a verdict after
hearing the evidence.
she smiled at me and laughed.
OF course | asked her If she wanted a
ride. Is there one man in a hundred
who wouldn't do the same thing?"
said Calkins.
There's lot of flirting going on in
Evanston every day. i fell into a
trap that was set for some n else
and | hate to be the goat. If Mrs.
JUL hadn't enticed me and encour-
aged attention l would not have been
arrested"
Calkins refused to give the names
Of the Evanston auto iirts. He said
he knows another chauffeur who may

VESSEY in CHICAGO
FORMER GOVERNOR HAS JUST
COMPLETED SUCCESSFUL
CHAUTAUQUA SEASON.

Pierre, Aug. 16.-Friends of for
mer Gov. Robert s. Vessey are indig-
nant at the circulation by former po-
litical enemies of the governor of a
story to the effect that he is reduced
to poverty and clerking in a store in
Chicago.
Mr.. Vessey has just completed a
successful c%hautauqua season and
when not thus engaged is devoting
his entire time to the United Agency
company, in which he is interested,
travelling over a large territory in his
work.
The Vessey family resides in Chi
cage in fine apartments in Sheridan
road, where they royalty entertain
South Dakota friends who call on
them at their home.
Contrary to the general report Gov.
Vessey did not lose a fortune in the
United Mercantile agency, in which
he is still interested. He was a COM
paratively poor man when he became
governor of South Dakota and as
may be easily imagined, four years in
that office was not conducive to the
accumulation of wealth.
The former governor is in good
health and making a good income and
his many South Dakota friends are al
a loss to account for the motive oil
the stories that have been recently
circulated about him.

New York, Aug. 16.-Special:
While Petrograd claims that the Rus

Germans in the region of Riga and
that in the vicinity of Kovno the leu
tons have temporarily abandoned
their attacks in the face of the Rus
sian resistance. it is admitted by
Petrograd that the towns of Sokolow,
Siedice and Lukow, strategic railway

been evacuated and that between the
Narew and the Bug rivers the Rus

sitions.
or the fighting in the region of
Riga, the Russians are admitted by
Berlin to have made repeated attacks
against Field Marshal Won linden
burg's forces, but it is claimed these
were without success.
Concerning the Kovno battle,
where the Germans are trying to
break through toward wilma, Berlin
asserts the Germans have made fur
Their progress, thus cOntroverting Pc
trograd's statement. Aside from this
discrepancy the official ~communica-
tions show that the Russians are
gradually being pushed back, but not
without giving battle to the Teutons.

been little lighting except artillery
engagements, although in the region

dition an allied warship is declared
to have been struck by a Turkish
shell off Ari Burnu.
The east coast of England has
