NEWS PRINT PAPER. SITUATION ACUTE.
some of the Mills Are Holding Their Paper to Renew Contracts at from SSO to Sl20 Per Ton for Paper
 That Sold for S3S Per Ton.

Boston. Sept s.-The campaign being conducted by the American Newspaper Publishers Association in behalf of economy in the use of newsprint is, according to the asso- citation, meeting with success. It IS stated that papers in New York, Philadelphia and Kansas City have reduced consumption by more than 500 tons per week. but this is only slightly more than per cent of the American consumption and will have to be considerably increased in order to effect the object of the movement The curtailment of the consumption is being accomplished
 in a number of ways: reducing number of pages, cutting free lists, increasing subscription price and even reducing the width of columns and margins.
 Such thing as a spot price for IneWspPint does not exist. It seems tc be understood that some mills notably the Great Northern, the ln ltfndllOIldl anu liit Mtdu Sloup, VIII renew contracts at not in excess of $50 per ton f. o. b. mill. Others are holding paper at from SS0 to 800 per ton. with as much as Si20 demand ed by some for ton lots. The pub fishers are up in arms at these prices, claiming that except in a few minor instances S5 per ton coy
 CTS the increased cost of production. A short time ago paper was freely sold at the mill at S38 per ton, or l Si2 at point of delivery.
 The shortage has become acute that it is understood an effort was made. unsucessfully. to induce the union employees of paper mills to work Sundays.

Iently Insane.

Viola, Jan. S.-This community was
Bile crime committed by Bruce Parker
son while insane, at Wheelock,, S. D.
He was left in charge of the Arthur
M. Hart farm near that town when
Mr.. Hart was called to Viola by the
news Of an injury to his mother, Mary
c. Hart, who fell and broke her thigh,
and was very seriously hurt.
Harris wife Matte, two daughters.
Violet. IS; Doris, 16, and two sons,
Ray, aged 10, and a brother aged 8,
remained at home when Hart was
called to Viola, but the two daughters
went to a town by the name of Ray
to do some shopping and visiting.
When Parkerson. the hired man, came
for them in the evening they went
home with him and there found their
mother foully murdered. Parkerson
then and there committed suicide. The
two brothers of the girls were missing
and were found the next day, also
murdered.
The news of this terrible tragedy is
a great shock to the people of Viola
where Hart and his family lived until
within few years ago. Surviving
relatives of Mrs. Hart are two sisters.
Mrs. Addie Mcfarland, of Wheelock.
S. D., and Mrs. Charles c. Garretson,
of Viola; and two brothers, Frank
and Lee Rinehart, of Viola; also three
children Lowell, Violet and Doris, and
her husband.
It is expected that the bodies Of Mrs.
Hart and two sons will be brought to
Viola for the funeral, and the burial
will likely be in the Wilcox cemetery.

Police court statistics for the year
just closing show that during 1915
5,776 arrests have been made and
s12,240.45 in fines collected. While the
arrests totaled but 1856 in 1914, the
fines collected In that year totaled
s14,76O. or about $4,000 more than dur
ing 1915. The larger fines total was
caused by the practice of placing
charges Of disturbing the peace against
bookkeeping joints and disorderly houses
and assessing fines of from $50 to 500,
which usually were paid without a
fight during the PIERCE administration.
The number of "drunks" arrested dur
ing the year just closed Is 2.042,
against 1865 for 1914.
Humboldt.
DR. A. D. Miller is circulating sub
scription paper for the establishment
Of hospital in Humboldt, and Is
meeting with much success. His idea
is to raise $4,000 for equipment, and at
first to secure a suitable residence in
Humboldt, one that is fitted with mod
ern improvements. and convert 1t into
a temporary hospital. Eight or ten
rooms will be fitted an operating
room established, waiting room and
other necessary equipment. The hos
pital would be open to all patients and
all physicians. In fact, the hospital
would be for the care of patients. each
patient making his own choice Of
physician. All cases of a serious ma
ture could be transferred to the hos
pital. Trained nurses would be in at.
tendance and every facility for CIV
ing the patients perfect care-much
better than could be secured in pri-
vate residence.

Morgan Evans home, north of town,
was destroyed by fire Sunday night.
All the family but Mr.. Evans had re-
tired when the smoke became notice
able. He at once phoned to town and
within few minutes, even before the
flames broke thru the roof or sides Of
the building. several auto loads Of men
were on the scene, Clyde Ridgeway and
his boys being the first to arrive. The
men removed everything from the
lower rooms but the smoke was too
dense upstairs to permit OF entrance to
these rooms so that nothing was saved
from above. But the men worked
necessarily until driven away by the
flames. They even took the doors off
the hinges and knocked out the posts
