ELECTRIC lights
PATIENCE OF BRADLEY PEOPLE
REWARDED AND CURRENT
IL TURNED ON.

Bradley. Jan. "A. Wednesday
night Bradley reveled in the luxury
of electric lights for the first time
in the history of the town. Current
was turned on at the plant of the
Bradley Electric company after the
arrival of some machinery that had
been delayed in shipment over two
months, during which time all con-
struction work has been completed
and a policy of watchful waiting had
been reluctantly adhered TO.
The Bradley Electric company is a
new corporation that was organized
early in the fall of 1915 to supply
electricity 10 Bradley and a number
of neighboring towns, including Wal
lace, Lily, Croker, Crandall and
others. Lines will probably be con-
structed to Wallace and Lily during
the coming summer. The incorpora-
tors and officers of the company are
all young men and all graduates of
Yankton college. +. H. Lewis. for
merly of Lake Preston, is president
and general manager; c. l.. Bates,
editor of the Bradley Globe. is vice
president; r. l.. Nordness. cashier OF
the Farmers Home bank, of Lily, is
secretary and treasurer.
The company has shown great con-
fidence in the merits of the enterprise
by the installation of a completely
modern plant and the construction of
a large brick building for the power
house. Experts have given their
opinion that it is one of the best
equipped plants Of its size in the
northwest. AS Dor as the demand
warrants it, 24-hour service will be
given.

and headed westward, finally bring
ing up az Milbank, whore he was APP
pretended
Upon arriving in Milbank he as
sumed the name OF James Quigley.
The fact that he was captured was
due to his talking too much while
under the influence of liquor. On
two occasions, after arriving in South
Dakota. he was required to serve
short terms in jail Tor drunkenness.
Deciding TO do a little celebrating on
his own account in Milbank he drank
heavily. While partially intoxicated,
he ran afoul of Sheriff Manley, and.
being in a talkatiye mood, confided to
the sheriff a part OF his past record
OF the indictment pending against
him at Pittsburgh and of having bro
ken Jail at Benton Harbor. Mich,
last May.
Sheriff Manley made Il report to
the federal authorities. Quigley's
identity vas established and he was
taken in charge by the federal au-
thorities. He has been known i'm
criminal circles by a number OF
names. The record gives Jack Til
den as his professional name. and his
Legitimate" professions as a pugilist,
high diver. circus follower and hobo.
In addition to the name of Spike Hen
messy, he also has been known as Kid
Broad.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS A.
COMPILED BY THE Assoc
GATED PRESS.

New York, Jan. Especial On
none of the major fronts Of the field
of war in Europe are notable military
operations in progress, SO far as the
official reports show. Not even from
little Montenegro have there come
additional reports of fighting, follow
ing the indirect advice on Friday, de-
claring that hostilities had been re-
sumed after the rejection of peace
terms offered by Austria.
The M%ontenegrin situation remains
somewhat clouded in view Of the con
flicting statements that come, re-
spectively, from Teutonic and entente
allied quarters. Vienna declares
that the Montenegrins are proceed
ing with the laying down of their
arms, as was agreed upon. but that
the difficulties of communication, to-
gether with other factors, are making
the process a slow one. There come
repeated denials from Montenegro
sources that the Montenegrins have
capitulated, n official statement
from Rome declaring that no negotia-
tons preliminary to peace with Aus
tria were ever entered into.
From the northern front in Russia
to Bessarabia, there are no changes
in the positions of the various forces,
according to the official reports. In
dications are that Russia has again
ceased, for a time at least. its attacks
on the Austrians near the southern
end of the line, while Berlin mentions
only artillery activity in sectors
where the German troops are holding
the front. The artillery duels which
are reported near Smorgon and in the
vicinity of Dvinsk. however, are
manifestations of activity such as
have not been reported along the
Russian front for some time by the
German war office. The Franco
Belgian front is undergoing a period
of comparative calm. which probably
is &c be explained by the seasonal
condition. There are frequent out
breaks by the artillery on both sides.
however, several such being mention
ed in the current official statements.
Berlin mentions the Smelling of Ger
mar positions and villages behind
the lines between the Moselle and the
Nosges, while Paris apparently de-
seribes the same series of artillery
operations against provision trains
and groups of hostile troops.
The defeat of the Turks by the
Russian army of the Caucasus, Off
cially reported by Petrograd, is com
mented upon in a news dispatch from
the Russian capital as an event look
ed upon as important by the military
authorities there, as it caused the re-
tirement of Turkish forces TO Ere
rum, which is considered endangered
by the Russian successes. 1t is even
held that the result may be favorable
to the British operations in Mesopo-
tamia, as the Turks have to withdraw
forces thence to aid in the defense
of ErZerum. IN OF the important

gion.

TEMPERANCE MEETINGS
LARGE CROWDS GATHER IN THE
METHODIST CHURCH TO
HEAR MIR. RANKIN.

Probably 700 people assembled i'm
the Methodist church last evening
and listened with rapt attention to
Mr.. a. G.. Rankin, who is conducting
d twelve days temperance campaign
i'm this city. as he delivered a splen-
did lecture on The License Saloon
and the Man Who Sells Liquor" Mr..
Rankin also lectured TO the men in
the same place in the afternoon. He
had d fine audience and gave a fine
address. his subject being. The He
brew Young Men at Work" Mr..
Rankin will continue his lectures this
week i'm the Methodist church, speak
ing every night. his closing address
being the Friday night lecture. To-
night he will speak on The IMAM
swered and Un~answerable Indict-
ment."
In the afternoon yesterday Mr..
Rankin used as the foundation for
his address the story of Nebuchad-
nezzar, his dream, how Daniel helped
and he and his three friends were
rewarded. He made the story very
graphic and then told of the severe

came out unhurt and We're more high

were innocent before God and honest
before men. This is the true Chris
tian character and men should seek
like character.
In the evening he chose for the
foundation Of his address the tenth
Psalm. In answer TO the question of
where we got our license system he
showed that in 1852 England passed
the first license law. We inherited
our license laws from there. The Ii
cense system then originated at \
time OF great ignorance, when the in
