In his Savannah camp Bill Dono-
van, baseball manager, had a dusky
hued waiter at the hotel by the name
of Sutton. Bill had to reproach Sui
ton more than once for lack of agil-
ity in arriving with the food Sutton
promised to improve. One morning
he brought in a consignment Of grid
dlecakes that had gone cold.
What do you mean" said Bill, by
bringing me in cold cakes?"
Wei, l tell you, boss" said Sutton,
Il brung them cakes in so fast for you
that I guess they hit a draft"

day and turned him over to an officer
named Cunningham, the provost mar

That night Hale was kept in soil

allowed to write letters to his mother

him with paper and ink and then de

Think SalOnica is
 the Center of War
Correspondents Believe 0lympian Conflict Will End at Feet
 of Olympus.
By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD

By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD
 United Press Staff Correspondent
 SALONICA, Dec. 10.-(Special to Gateway)-Here's the World War news center At last the stormy little Balkans have come into the worlds eye.
 Correspondents from all corners of what used to be civilization flock here to be near the great German rush 400 miles north of us.
 There are other lesser correspond ents hanging around the hotels of Salonica, mostly queerly dressed chaps with queer habits and man. ners, newspaper men from European countries who have spent their lives in the Balkans trying to get the busy world interested in their little affairs; men who have lived in queer Balkan cities and have dashed madly to the Balkan telegraph offices in times past with news items which they them selves thought tremendously import ant but which were honored with tiny headlines in the newspapers of the world.
 These Balkan-fan journalists knew that some day the Balkans would eX- plode. The day has come, The ex- plosion has occurred.
 At last the feet of European armies are pounding the Balkan highways; European cannon, machine guns and rifles sound through the Balkan hills
The Seward gateway., 1915-12-22

and European spades eat trenches in the Balkan soil.
 In the Olympus Palace hotel, on the water front, gathered around the tiny tables in the cafes, are the officers of the British, French, Russian and Greek armies, melange of color and language. And these Balkan journal ists-English, French and Italian chatter gaily, wisely of the great day which has come at last.
 Salonica harbor is filled with great boats, warships, torpedo boats, hos pitaI ships, and two or three boats which have huge American flags painted on their sides and which are making small fortunes for their own CTS in running the submarine gaun- let with supplies for the Balkan allies.
 That busy harbor of itself is enough to delight the soul of the Balkan journalist. But last evening, just at sundown, came the climax of his ex- citement An aeroplane was soaring over the bay of Salonica. Behind it, across the harbor, loomed Mount Olympus, where the old Greek gods used to live and cut their capers.
 Just to see an aeroplane with Olympus, which has been peaceful and quiet ever since the gods died, as background, was enough to prove to the Balkan experts that the great day really had come at last.
 To top it off, the engine of the aeroplane weakened in it's stroke, the machine came nearer and nearer to the water 1t had wheels intead of boats beneath it's planes and when its momentum was gone and it came to the surface of the bay, it dug it's nose fifteen or twenty feet into the water, pilot and all, and then stood on end with it's tail in the air.
 Here was a catastrophe of the World War, right at the foot of Olympus. The Balkan experts watched the aviators come to the surface, climb in- to the half sunken planes and wait for three tug boats in the harbor to rush to the rescue.
 Then they went back to the Olympus Palace cafe where the French old timers in the Balkans orr dered absinthe-which one cannot buy in Paris-and the others ordered whiskey and soda, over which they treshed out the whole problem of the value of aerOplanes in Balkan war fare, happy at last to be able to say:
 "The eyes of the world are not on the French font or on the Russian front. They are on the Balkans, as l have always said they would be; and here the World War will be threshed out"

SEEING THE COAST
DIR. DANIELS TELLS OF WHAT HE
SAW ON COAST TRIP.

An hour with DR.. Daniels, who re-
turned yesterday from the Pacific
coast is the next best thing to MAX
ing the trip oneself. The doctor is
a traveller and an observer and he
sizes things up so that he returns
from his journeys from this country
or abroad with observations stored
up that are interesting. Briefly
sketching his trip outward by the
northern route, he visited Seattle,
Tacoma and other cities in that sec
ton. Business of all kinds, especial
ly the lumber business, is at a stand
still, the result of the European
war. Thousands of men employed in
numbering are out of work. Hun
dreds of houses and business places
in Tacoma and Seattle are vacant.
and property is at a low ebb price.
At San Francisco DR.. Daniels at
tended the national medical conven-
ton and while he was not a candi-
date for office he came within four
votes of being elected president of
the national association. The expo
sition is fine, the display being large,
and the electrical display at night is
especially beautiful. But it is not a
paying proposition. While the crowds
are large they are not nearly large
enough to pay the expenses.
At Los Angeles he saw many for
mer Madison people; in fact, former
Madison people are to be met with
everywhere. Los Angeles is dull
from a business misunderstanding
doing in real estate and many men
of all classes of labor out of employ
ment. The exposition at San Diego
is small in comparison to San Fran
cisco. Home by the southern route
and the sights of the Grand Canon.
which DR.. Daniels says is too wonder
full to attempt to describe.

A young man by the name of
Frohman. employed by Joe Reynolds

Claude Breedlove of the firm of

ports the theft last night of two dan

was visible this morning. 1t is a

HEAVY rain STORM
MADISON VISITED BY A DOWN
POUR LAST NIGHT-SOME
DAMAGE.

Rapid clouding up of the horizon
early last evening caused a slight
shower about Z o'clock, the clouds
passing to the southeast. About IL
o'clock, however, the clouds returned
and this city received the heaviest
drenching of the season. 1t is esti-
mated that two and a half inches of
rain fall, the measurement being
taken from water in vessels standing
outdoors.
The only damage of consequence in
the city was the caving in OF the
newly excavated basement of the
Vreyens block, in course of construc-
ton. Workmen had been employed
during the day making sewer con-
nection and had tunneled under the
sidewalk from the basement and also
had an open ditch in the street at the
outer edge of the gutter. After the
rain got under way a huge volume or
water flowed down the gutter from
the north and striking the open ditch
plunged into the basement. Work
had been commenced yesterday lay
ing the footings for the basement
walls and the unprotected banks of
earth caved in without hindrance, a
large section of cement sidewalk
fronting the basement also going
down. Contractor Robertson had
about 1000 feet Of lumber in the
basement for use in making forms
for the walls and this was set afioat
and scattered about the excavation.
The water trickled through the stone
basement walls of j. S. Stacks store
adjoining on the south, setting goods
on the floor afloat and covering the
floor with several inches of soft mud.
This damage has not been estimated.

trainmen described it there were
showers at every other station along

THRIFTY CITY OFFICIALS
MADISON CITY BONDS TO THE
AMOUNT OF $4,000 PAID OFF
IN THREE YEARS.

At the regular July meeting of the
Madison city commission refunding
bonds to the amount of $4,000 were
paid off and cancelled. This debt was
created about fifteen years or more
ago by the sinking of an experiment
al artesian we'll at Egan avenue and
Eighth street. The hole was dry as
a powder horn and was abandoned
after $4,000 had been expended.
Payment of $1,000 of the debt was
made several years ago. This pay
ment OF bonds aggregates $4,000
paid off by the sitting city commits
sion-Messrs. Waskey, Kundert and
Johnson-since they assumed office
three years ago last May. The pre-
vious bond payment since their in
%cumbency was $4,000, waterworks
bonds.
In addition to the payment of $34,-
600 bonded indebtedness, the COM
mission has accumulated over $780,
600 cash in the electric light plant
fund which will be used for the en-
largement of the plant, machinery for
which has been contracted and will
be installed during the coming fall.
This improvement will be made on a
cash basis, from the earnings of the
plant, without mourning bonded in
d~ebtedness. In addition to this the
commission has made an unusually
large amount of street improvements,
such as street crossings and grading,
during the past three years, all of
which has been paid for in cash.
All standing funds of the city con-
tain a balance of more or less amount
as shown by the July report of the
city treasurer-and city warrants are
paid in cash upon demand.
The above brief statement of what
has been accomplished by the Mad
ison city commission during the three
years of their official incumbency is
the best evidence that the commits
sion plan of municipal government,
in the hands of conscientious BUSH
ness men, is a grand success, and
Madison people may we'll bless the
day it was adopted in this city. The
business in the hands of the present
officials is being handled without
friction, everything conducted on the
same systematic plan hat governs in
a first-class bank, and those old-tinle
complaints of the aldermanic system
have long since been forgotten. All
hail to the commission plan of mu-
nicipal government and the Madison
city commission.
The total bonded Indebtedness of
Madison at the present time is 49,
900, of which SOS, 900 is sewer bonds
and $4,000 electric bonds. The
sewer bonds will be paid off in the
regular course by special tax for the
purpose and will not be noticed by
taxpayers in the expenses of the city.
The $4,000 electric bonds will also
be paid in due course, and the rapid
accumulation of money by the com
mission is an indication hat the pay
ment of this debt will not be a hard
ship.
Few. if any. South Dakota cities
are in the excellent financial condi-
ton of which Madison can boast.
