MASONIC NEWS
F~our-Page Periodical Is to BE Pub.
lished Monthly by Order.

Sioux Falls Press: No. / of Vol. /
of the Sioux Falls Masonic News was
issued yesterday. 1t is to be a four
page monthly periodical. On the
first page, under the heading, Ma
sonry an interpreter of life" is this
sentiment:
The most splendid thought ever
given to the world, is the thought OF
God: and it is gratifying to all true
Mason to know that the very foun-
dation stone of their work is the idea
of God.
Masonry, therefore, very natural
ly deals with the greatest of all ques-
tions-the problem of life. 1t echoes
wrote: Teach us how to live. we
can die without assistance 1t seeks
also to emphasize the statement of
that greatest of all seers and saviors,
L came that We might have life, and
that We might have ii more abund-
antly.'
Masonry is a great teacher, and
deals with those fine moral and spir-
itual values that give dignity, poise
and grace to life. 1t is a feeling
after the great spirit of good; for
Masonry realizes that it is only as
man reflects upon the idea of a unit
versal God, that he becomes univer-
sal, that he begins to look up and out
and to lend a hand; indeed, that he
begins to feel that he is a God in the
chrysalis, and it doth not yet appear
what he shall be.
las a sequence of this great
thought the brotherhood of man
comes as naturally as night follows
day. And I believe that one of the
finest things ever written about
Christ is, that he came into the world
not to show what He was, but what
we m the sons of God and His
brothers.
1T has been said that Masonry is
not a system of religion; it is more,
it is the very essence of religion, for
1t regards religion as the greatest
economic question Of life, and would
strip it of all traditions that hinder
It's progress. 1t believes there is but
one real aristocracy, and that is the
aristocracy of character. And be 1t
said to the everlasting credit of the
fraternity, that 1t preserves that
wholesome liberation toward all that

HEAVY SNOW
Railroads Blockaded by Billiards in
James River Valley.

Sioux City, Feb. 24.-Severe bliz.
valley of South Dakota, extending
southwark into Nebraska as far as
the Platte river, is tying up traffic on
all lines of railroad and is threaten
ing to cause as serious injury to tele-
phone and telegraph communica-
tons as was caused by the storm OF
last week.
On the Milwaukee line all trains
were abandoned on divisions running
TO Yankton and Mitchell and on the
Platte branch. Supt. L. b. Beardsley
stated that reports from these points
indicate that all traffic was at a
~standstill. Heavy snow was said to
be falling and a thirty-mile gale was
throwing it into drifts that were
blockading all roads.
One train on the Burlington, due
to arrive at 1920 o'clock in the after
noon, reached Sioux City at 6 o'clock.
This train was said by its crew to
have plowed it's way through snow
storms from O'Neill, Neb., for several
miles eastward before getting outside
the storm area According to the
trainmen there was nearly a foot OF
snow in the vicinity of O'Neill and a
heavy fall was continuing, with high
winds.
Trains from Bonesteel, S. D., arriv-
ed practically on time, but carried
tons of sticky snow. Mild tempera-
ture during the storm there caused
the snow to cling to all parts of the
engine and coaches.
The eastern boundary of the snow
storm was said to have come a few
miles east of Yankton, where it was
thawing practically as fast as it fell.
Railroads leading to the east and
directly north reported that no severe
weather had been encountered.

SALOON
Lennox's Experiment with City
Owned Saloons Meets with
General Approval.

Lennox, Feb. 24.-Many inquiries
have come from towns in this state,
asking how the municipal saloon of
Lennox was looked upon by the peo-
pie, and what success it had as a
drinking place operated by the city.
The only answer that can be given
is that it is a marked success in every
way. 1t is a financial success for one
thing. And while there are some
partisans of the privately owned sa-
loon who are against it, there are
also to offset this, a number of peo-
pie who voted mo" when the matter
of the regular saloon came up who
will now vote for the municipal sa-
loon.
The of the Lennox mn-
nicipal saloon, after deducting all ex-
penses have so far reduced the school
debt by $4,000. and as large an
amount in addition has been turned
into the city treasury.
From present indications, the town
will vote overwhelmingly in favor of
the municipal saloon this spring.

MURDER AND SUICIDE
Crazed Swain Kills Divorce and
Himself at Home of Her
Employer.

Beresford, Feb. 24.-Apparently
laboring under a crazed infatuation.
Alfred Erickson slashed the throat of
Mrs. Laura Dahl, working here as a
domestic, and then cut his own
throat. Both died within a short
time.
Mrs. Dahl is a divorce and has
three children in the orphans home
In Beresford. She came here not long
ago in search of employment and was
given a place at the home of S. o.
Steensland, a local hardware mer-
chant.
Erickson hailed from Minneapolis,
and apparently was down and out"
financially. He called at the Stems
land home and urged Mrs. Dahl to
marry him right away. She did not
repudiate his attentions, but urged
delay. He made a demand for some
money and she started upstairs to
get him a portion of her small saw
ings.
While she was going up the stair
way he fired at her twice with a re-
volver, but neither shot took effect.
Startled at the shots, Mrs. Dahl turn
ed around and then rushed back at
him to expostulate.
AT this point Erickson took a razor
from his pocket and slashed her
across the throat, and quickly fol-
lowed, giving himself the same treat
ment.

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

New York. Feb. 24.-Special:
Both Germany and Russia agree
that there has been a severe defeat of
the Russians in East Prussia, but
they differ with reference to the ac-
tual Importance of the defeat. What
ever happened to the Russian Tenth
arm, it has at least been driven back
many miles, and one army corps,
numbering 10000. has been badly
cut up.
Since the end of January the Ger
mans, according to reports from Ber-
lin and Vienna, have captured 140,-
500 men, including seventy-one Of
fcers. Among these are seven gen.
erals. These prisoners include those
taken in the last German drive of
the Russians through East Prussia
and in the fighting in the Carpa-
thians. In addition, 1913 guns are
said to have been taken.
In the western war zone the Yep
pelin dirigibles have come into ac-
ton. One of them bombarded Calais,
dropping ten bombs, which killed five
people.
A German dirigible, whether the
Zeppelin which bombarded Calais or
another, has dropped bombs on the
railroad running from Dunkirk to
Stomer, according to a news agency
dispatch.
The official statement issued by
the French wal office records the
bombardment of Reims by the Ger
mans and the loss of a considerable
number of lives. At the same time
it reports advances for the allies in
the neighborhood of Souaino, be-
tween the Argonne and the Meuse.
and in Alsace.
The British prime minister has in
formed the house of m that
the allied governments are still con-
sidering methods of reprisal against
Germany for its naval policy with re-
gard to merchant ships. and hal he
hoped TO be able 10 announce the
scope of the measure at an early
date.
Only fifteen men from the Amer
lean steamer Evelyn, which vas sunk
off Borkum island by a mine, have
been definitely accounted for. These
are the captain and fourteen seamen,
one of whom died from exposure.
They are in Bremerhaven, their boat
having been picked up by a Dutch
pilot ship.
Another boat believed to contain
thirteen members of the crew of the
Evelyn has not been heard from.
Much anxiety is said to exist at
Cuxhaven over the absence of two
large submarines, which are two days
overdue at their base.
The Scandinavian governments
representatives are holding a confer
ence on Germany's sea war zone
proclamation.
The Prussian diet has appropriated
$4,000, 600 to be used in alternating
the suffering of persons affected b.
the war.
