RECEIVER EXPECTED
QUEEN BEE MILL AT SIOUX
FALLS NOTIFIED TO MAKE
NO MORE SALES.

Sioux Falls, Jan. 27.-Rumors that
the company controlling the Queen
Bee flour mill of this city is in cir
cumstances that call for the appoint
ment of a receiver We're partially con-
firmed yesterday by the local mill
people who stated that they received
word from company headquarters at
Minneapolis Saturday notifying them
that a receiver would be appointed
yesterday, and giving orders that no
more mill products should be sold un-
til further notice. Nothing was heard
here yesterday, however, about a re-
ceiver being appointed and no papers
have yet been filed in the court here
in an auxiliary action.
The mill had been running twenty
four hours every day for several
months filling war contracts until
January /, when the wheels were
stopped, the understanding being at
that time that business had been shut
down owing to the blockade that
made it impossible TO fill orders.

CONTEST TOMORROW

EXPECTED If COLD SNAP
BREAKS.

ing tomorrow and Saturday. in the
neighborhood of 200 boys and girls
will, it is expected, make entries in

from the surrounding country and
smaller towns in the county attended.
Stormy weather kept many away
from the former meetings.
The contest and short course will
be under the direction of Prof. L. G.
Anterior, of the State Normal school,
and Mrs. Della Stearns, county super
mtendent of schools. Exhibits will
be received all day tomorrow, and up

COLDER TONIGHT"
FREIGHT TRAINS RUNNING
TODAY ON MADISON AND
OTHER BRANCHES.

Cold, wind and snow have crippled
train service in the northwest. from
the Rocky mountains to the Missis-
sippi river, according TO reports re-
ceived here by wire today. Solidly
packed snowdrifts are said to be de-
laying transcontinental passenger
trains from a few hours TO a day, and
branch line passenger trains are re
ported to be correspondingly ham
pered. On a number of lines, includ-
ing the Madison division of the Mil
waukee railway. freight train service
has been abandoned since yesterday.
Although it is not believed that the
wind and snow have not had such a
deterrent effect locally as in most
other sections Of the storm ridden
one all passenger trains on this di-
vision today were late. The morning
passenger train, due here from the
west at 9:15 this morning, came two
hours behind schedule, and the train
due to arrive from the north at 9:15
o'clock. did not arrive until noon.
Two locomotives were in front of
each train. Railway men say they do
not expect that freight trains on this
division will move until tomorrow at
least.
With a strong wind blowing, Their
mometers early this morning indicat-
ed a temperature of s degrees below
zero. and the mercury had varied
only a fraction of a degree up until
this afternoon. The United States
government weather observer sta
toned at Huron. telephoned this
forenoon that no immediate relief
from the severe weather may be eX-
pected. The predictions for the Mad
ison district are fair and colder to-
night and possibly Friday.

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

New York. Jan. Especial: If
reports from Turkish headquarters
coming by way of Berlin are exact,
the British forces in Mesopotamia
suffered a somewhat severe reverse
in their endeavor to reach the beseig-
ed town of Kut-el-Amara, on the I'll
girls river. Some twenty miles east
Of Kut-el-Amara, the Turks, in coun-
ter attacks on the British, drove them
back several miles and the British
left on the field about 5000 dead.
The Turkish losses are declared to
have been comparatively slight. 1t
was after this fight, which lasted six
hours, that Gen. Aylmer is declared
to have requested and obtained a
truce of one day in order that the
dead might be buried.
The British, advancing from Mum
tefik, on the Shatt-el-Hai river, south
Of Kut-el-Amara, toward Gonna were
also compelled to retreat before a
Turkish attack, says the report, leav-
ing 100 men dead. The British re-
verses at the hands of the Turks,
however, is somewhat offset by the
Turkish losses in battles with the
Russians in the neighborhood of Err
zerum. A news agency dispatch from
Petrograd asserts that apart from the
casualties in actual battle, the Turks
lost fifty officers and 1000 men
taken prisoners, and also scores Of
machine guns and quantities of am
munition captured.
Aside from the usual lombard
ments, mining operations and aero
plane raids, little fighting is going on
in any of the other theaters of war.
Vienna asserts that there has been
no resumption of hostilities in Mon
tenegro. The king of the Montene-
grins, with his family. has arrived at
Lyons, France. The disarming of
the Montenegro army, according to
Austrian dispatches, is progressing
without interruption and without re-
s%istance.
Allied airmen have again dropped
bombs on Monastir and Gievgeli. and
100 persons are estimated to have
been killed or wounded in the latter
town. The Germans, on their part,
have dropped explosives from air
craft on Dunkirk, where five persons
were killed and on the aerodome at
Nancy and factories i'm Baccarat.
While no battles of Importance
have been reported from the Russian
front, Vienna says the Russians have
shelled several sections of their lines
and that they are actively r%econnoi-
tering. Unofficial adyices from Pet
rograd say the recent successes of the
Russians have brought them to with
i'm less than three miles of the town
Of Pinsk in Volkynia.
The British military service bill is
making fast progress in the house of
lords. after its passage by the house
of commons. The upper house pass
ed the second reading of the measure
without division.

iele of January 8 contains a notice of
the death of Mary f.. Dewey, widow

The increasing importance Of the
livestock industry in South Dakota is
reflected in figures showing the num-
Der of hogs that have been shipped
out for consumption in 1915. The
total is 823,250, according to a fed
eral report, This report covers the
number of hogs shipped to the stock
yards in st. Paul, Sioux City and
Sioux Falls. The number used for
local consumption and shipped out to
other yards or for other purposes
than packers use is not taken into
account in this report.
After having been out less than an
hour, the jury which yesterday after
noon heard the evidence in the JUS
tice court case against Wesley Keith,
school teacher, who was charged
with having assaulted Elvin Witt, one
of his pupils, returned a verdict OF
not guilty. The alleged assault oc-
Cured last Friday in a school located
five miles southeast of Ramona. The
boy claimed hat the teacher struck
him a number of times in the face
with his fist. Mr.. Keith admitted
striking the pupil once with his fist,
but said that the blow was not de-
livered until after the boy had struck
him in the face.

TEMPERANCE WORK
LARGE AUDIENCE PRESENT
LAST EVENING-COUNTN
LEAGUE ORGANIZED.

The auditorium of the Methodist
church was comfortably filled with
people last night while Mr.. Rankin
explained a plan by which liquor laws
can be enforced. He advocates the
passing of legislation providing for a
state officer to be appointed by the
governor of the state, and who may
be removed by him at any time,
whose business it shall be to see that
the liquor laws are enforced. There
should be about three deputies TO as
sist this officer in his duties and all
these officers should be paid ade-
quate salaries from the state funds
and not from fees that they might
collect. Mr.. Rankin convinced the
audience that his plan was not only
an admirable one, but about the only
method by which prohibition could be
made to effectively prohibit. To
night Mr.. Rankin gives his most eff
fective address of the series on the
justification of the plan that he ex-
planned last night. Everybody ought
to make it a point to be present to
hear this lecture. 1t is to be held in
the Methodist church and will begin
at 1880 p. m. The public is cordially
invited.
In to the call issued re-
