pipes.
The water may be supplied to the

which the water is pumped by hand,
gasoline engine or motor, or the sys-

tank in the basement to which the

in use.
The disposal system which takes
care of the sewage and waste water
from the house may consist of a con

feet or so from the house. In this,
sewage is made practically harmless,
and is then wasted in the soil or on

KILLED IN WHALE
Harpooned Several Times. Monster
Attacks Men from Whaler.

New Bedford. Mass, March IL
A whaleboat's crew from the bark
Alice Knowles, Of this port, while
fast to a whale which had been struck
off the coast of Africa, was attacked
by the monster and wrecked, two of
the crew being killed.
The whale was dragging the boat
at the rate of ten miles an hour,
when, after several jabs with the
harpoon, it stopped, gave a swing
sideways, and tried to seize the boat
in its jaws. The crew just managed
to swing the boat clear, but the whale
turning partly around, struck the so
foot boat with its tail directly under
the bow where the mate. Antonio L.
Pima stood. The boat went into the
air and Pima and the bow oarsnlan,
Fidily Cecilia, We're instantly killed.
The other four men of the crew,
partly stunned, were hurled into the
sea, but another boat managed to
pick them up alive, although some of
them were badly injured.
The Alice Knowles is owned by
her master, Capt. j. I. Heggarty, of
Somerset, this being his first voyage
in her. She put into st. Helena, and
the whale story came from there to
her agent, III. X. Snow, of this city.

MISSOURI RIVER FLOOD
TOWN OF GAYNIIIE SURROUND
ED BY WATER-STOCk
LOSSES.

Gayville, March 1.-THE flood
situation around Gayville, twelve
miles down the river from Yankton,
Is bad enough, but not quite so bad
as indicated by some of the telephone
and telegraph inquiries being re
ceiyed here. No train has come into
this city since Wednesday noon
This town so far has not been
flooded, but is entirely surrounded
by flood waters from the Missouri
and James rivers. 1t is estimated that
a rise of II inches would flood the
entire city, but the general hope this
morning is that this experience will
be avoided, as the waters have been
slowly receding since last night.
This hope is not fully upheld by a
report from Fullerville, five miles up
the river, that the water is slowly
rising again at that point. 1t is ru-
mored also that the gorges have bro
ken at various points on the upper
Missouri and the release of these adj
ditional flood waters may produce Sc
rious results unless the gorge at Yer
million gives way, which it shows no
present sign of doing.
Farmers have been coming to town
in boats for necessary supplies, as
travel is exceedingly dangerous on
any of the grades along the valley.
The farmers bring their teams to the
bluff line, and there are met by boats
which have been put into commission
by local business men. The James
river flows into the Missouri five
miles southwest of this city, and the
entire area. to the bluff line north of
of Gayyille, is a sea of water.
The station agent at Meckling re-
ported by telephone yesterday after
noon that water was flowing through
the business streets of that town, but
that the citizens did not regard the
situation as dangerous.
Among the heavy losers Of hogs in
this section is George Gunderson,
who lost about seventy head. While
assisting Mr.. Gunderson in trying to
rescue the porkers, George Browning
narrowly escaped being drowned. He
was caught in an eddy with a wagon
load of hogs and the wagon was over
turned. All of the hogs were lost
and Mr.. Browning was rescued with
great difficulty.
Searchers left here in boats this
morning to look after Peter Meteit,
one of the bottom residents, who is
known to have had about eighty head
of hogs ready for market. He has
not been heard from and ii is feared
that he may have lost his life in try
ing to a V his stock.
Three families living on the Mis-
souri, and James river bottoms are
missing. They are the William Ma
gorian family and the Lou Van Osdel
and Ben Van Osdel families. No
word has been received from them
since Monday. They may be ma
rooned in their homes and unable to
ask for aid, as telephone communica-
ton is cut off.
The Magorians live near the lower
bridge on the James river. This
bridge has been carried two miles up
stream by the ice backing up in the
river. The Van Osdel families lived
on the bottoms near the confluence
Of the Missouri and James rivers.
This country is covered with several
feet of water.

MODERN farm HOUSE
PROF. WILLIS, OF STATE COT.
IEGE, GIVES ESTIMATE ON
COST OF IMPROVEMENT.

Brookings, March 1.-THE eX-
pense of undermining a farm home is
not prohibitive, according to Prof. A.
J.. Willis, of the State college engi-
neering department. He says: For
a house having from six to nine
rooms, hot air heating systems have
been installed for 500 to $175.
Plumbing systems have been in
stalled for $125 to $500, the latter
figure including a hand pump and
steel tank. Suitable septic tanks
with sewer pipe and the subsurface
drainage system have been installed
for 500 to $3.50. 1t is apparent,
therefore, hat all of these improve
ments may be added to most every
farm home at a cost ranging from
about $500 to 5000.
1T is, of course, more convenient
to put the heating and plumbing sys-
TENS into a house at the time of its
construction than to introduce them
later. 1t is not a difficult matter,
however, to install such systems in
houses already built. The usual sys-
tens are hot air, hot water and
steam. The hot air system is the
cheapest to install, although it re-
quires a greater amount of fuel to
operate it than do the others for the
same amount of useful heat given off.
1t gives very satisfactory results,
however.
THE plumbing system usually in
cludes bath tub, toilet and l~avatory
for the bathroom, a sink and say a
3O-gallon hot water tank for the
kitchen, connections for the laundry

Thus she stayed, waiting for her
