FIRE AT ABERDEEN
Old Landmark Is Destroyed by Fire
LOSS May Reach $25,OOO.

Aberdeen, Jan. 20.-Fire this
evening practically destroyed the old
Beard block, one OF the landmarks of
the city. 1t was built In 1881. The
loss will run between $4,000 and
$4,000, covered by about two-thirds
insurance.
The fire started in w. F. Luke's
dry goods store, quickly spreading
through the frame building until
nearly the whole Of 1t was ablaze.
The business places destroyed or
damaged were Salisbury book store,
A. j. Schultz, photograph gallery;
Anton Bohac, harness shop; B. Kors-
dahl, tailor; l.. G. Smith, typewriter
office; Burroughs Adding machine
agency; Geo. Mould, proprietor or
Batesole's creamery; b. Gerrotanno,
pool hall and barber shop; Geo. Roam
and HI. C. Beard, Offices.
Several persons also roomed in the
building, losing all their belongings.
Beard block was used for fifteen
years by Beard, Gage & Beard as a
general store, after which 1T was
rented by Salisbury. The other busi-
ness houses damaged occupied the
upstairs and an annex fronting on a
side street.

against Sully. Drappos and others,
for an attorneys fee of $4,000. The
suit was based upon the recovery OF
thirty-two sections of land in Trip
county to the heirs of Jack Sully. a
former notorious frontier character
and a mixed blood Indian. The land
in question had long been known as
the Sully flats. The heirs employed
George letters, an attorney at Dallas
and Attorney Jeffers in turn brought
Judge Kirby into the case, with the
result that the heirs each received
their allotment from the United
States government.
The defendants contention was
that they had paid LETTERS the fees
agreed upon and that they had nc
knowledge of Kirby's service in the
case.
The jury after being out twenty
four hours brought in a verdict oil
$1,000 in favor of the plaintiff.

the nth New York state conference
OH taxation, which opened here. Men

that there was danger in the accumula-

Sir George is only one Of many who
have predicted an era of wild specula-

continues along at the present rate,'.
Mr.. Woolley said. ct Is easily con-
ceivable that the assembling Of too
much Of the worlds standard of value
in any one country would lead to q
general, possibly sensational rise in
prices, but not all agree that this coun-.
try is near the danger line. 1
It's true, however, that the gold
now in Uncle Sans vaults will be
ample for all purposes for a long time
to come.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS
GROWING IN POPULARITY.
10000 Persons Have $500 each on De.
post; $4,000 Are Foreign Born.

Thirty thousand depositors in United
States postal savings banks have ac-
counts of $500 each, which is the larg-
est amount under the present law that
can be accepted from one person. OF
this total $4,000 are foreign born The
percentage of foreign born depositors is
u per cent.
The growth of the postal savings
system for the year is shown to have
been the largest in it's history, both in
number Of depositors and amount de-
posted. On June 80, 1915. there were
525,414 depositors having to their cred
it $63,6S4,7 OS, an increase Of about 49,
600 individual depositors and over $22,-
100000 deposits.
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Dockery in his report discussed In de-
tail the effect Of the European war on
postal receipts, showing that after a
surplus of $3.8OO,OOO for 1913 and 49,
100000 for 1914 there was slump in
the fiscal year 1915. The deficit for
the last year was $11, 1873 ,3OS "Poise
has been regained." says the official.
''Postal receipts. responded quickly and
have been climbing instep with in
creasing prosperity and commercial
activity throughout the country"
The money order service felt the de-
moraliZing effects of the war along
with the general postal receipts, and
the international business necessarily
continues to suffer. The domestic mon
ey order business, however, responded
quickly to improving conditions until
the quarter ended June so, 1915, show.
ed substantial increase over the cor.
responding period in 1914. There were
10S,127,SG8 money orders issued during
the year for $716,911,2OS.
Payment of domestic money orders

ed States, irrespective of the Office on
which drawn-a procedure installed

DR.. Emerson expressed the unani-

He declared that in nearly every coun-
try in Europe the sale of horsefesh for
food purposes has been encouraged.
Relative Value Shown.
"The relative value Of horse meat
abroad is shown by the experience of
our veterinarian, DR.. Alderman, who
found in Brussels that horsefesh was
bringing higher prices than Argentine
beef" he said. :
The board of health will limit the
sale of horse meat to certified prem

"Win your action have any effect up

"This is a remote possibility" he
answered. However, people who are
unable to pay present prices will be
furnished with an inexpensive and
thoroughly clean meat.

while the health department does
not exactly recommend the eating of
horse meat, we can see no harm in its

Consequently the strict regulation Of

There is no medical or sanitary
