CONVICT MADE q
Warden Reed, of Minnesota, Says
Convict Made Irvine Is Only the
Way to Fight Trust.

Washington. Jan. 21.-Interested
parties are fighting the passage of a
federal convict law prohibiting the
interstate shipments of convict made

TO fight the harvester trust.

Redfield, Jan. 21.-The late II. G.

business man who died last week,
had long been in i'll health. and that
he had long ago prepared for the in

to his will, dated April 81, 1911,
which was read this week. Ii reads:
1T behooves every man TO look
into the future and TO consider tho
exigencies of life. The slender hold
we have on our existence and the
ever present possibility of our spirit
taking its flight leads one to reflect
upon the liability OF our demise and
to make some preparation. Lest we
forget.
iii health has been TO me the
mother of many disappointments.
The pride of well doing has always
been inherent, but the lack Of bodily
strength and vigor has well nigh
smothered the aspirations of a high
and worthy ambition. Why lament!

the disappointments of thousands

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

New York, Jan. 21.-Special:
After only a slight pause since the
institution of the New Years battle
on the eastern front, the Russians
again have begun a strong offensive
against the Austro-H ungarians on the
B-essarabian frontier east Of Czerno-
WITT, capital of Bukowina. Vienna
had the forecast that the second
phase of the battle in this region vas
imminent by the announcement that
the Russians were throwing strong
endorsements into East Galicia.
In the initial offensive OF what
probably will be termed the second
battle, the Russians launched with
numerous columns four attacks near
Toporoutz and Began, but, according
to Vienna. they were everywhere re-
pulsed.
The Germans have attacked Rus
sian bases at Tarnopol. East Galicia,
with an air squadron.
While the Turkish wal office as
serts hat the Russians in the eau
casus have abandoned their offensive
along the entire front of nearly 100
miles, owing to the achievements of
the Ottomans and their assumption
of a violent offensive, the latest Rus
sian official communication describes
the Turkish army in this region as
having been disorganized and dis
lodged from a strong position extend
ing over sixty-six miles. the Turkish
retreat taking on the character of a
panic stricken flight. Several Turk
ish units, the communication adds,
were almost annihilated, hundreds of
bodies covering the field of battle.
With the announcement that Mon
tenegro had broken off negotiations
for peace with Austria-Hungary.
comes the official statement in a
Paris newspaper that King Nicholas
and his family and suite already are
on their way TO Italy. 1t is presumed
that with the severing of the peace
pour parlers, the Austro-Hungarians
again will take up where they left off
the campaign of crushing the little
kingdom, as Serbia was crushed.
Although artillery bombardments,
mining and counter mining opera
tions and aerial attacks continue al
most extensively on the western line
in France the Germans report the
capture of trenches along the User
river. Entente allied airmen have
dropped bombs on Metz and Arna-
Vile, doing some material damage.
Several attempts of the Austrians
to approach Italian positions on the
Tolmino sector and neal Oslvia were
repulsed. Bombardments have pre-
vailed elsewhere.
Another war council of the entente
allies, attended by the British and
French members. has been held in
London.
Nothing is known concerning the
council, except that ii was held for
the discussion of plans for further
prosecuting the war.

VIOLENT EXPLOSION
RANGE BLOWS UP IN KITCHEN
OF ABERDEEN HOME.

Aberdeen, Jan. 21.-A violent OK
plosion in the hot water pipe attach
ment to the kitchen range at the
home of City Engineer F, L. LeCocq,
at 500 North State street, literally
made a wreck of the kitchen. For
tunately no one was in the DON at
the time, and Mrs. LeCocq and her
baby escaped an almost certain death
by leaving the room just a few min
utes prior to the accident. The win
dows were blown out, a large hole
made in the ceiling and the kitchen
furniture demolished, when the stove
blew TO pieces and a veritable rain of
iron crashed through the windows
and buried itself in the plaster of
walls and ceiling. 1t seems that the
water had been turned off in the
pipes for a week, the drain cocks
were left open and Mr.. LeCocq
thought the water had drained off,
but the pipes had evidently become
clogged, there was no expansion when
the steam formed and the explosion
resulted. The fire department arriv-
ed at the scene shortly after the ex-
plosion, but the slight flame resulting
had been extlnguished. The eXplo-
sion loss was heavy, but the fire loss
was slight. The defamation was ter
rifle and could be heard a great dis
lance. One freakish circumstance of
the explosion was the blowing of the
lock off the door leading to the din
ing room and leaving the rest OF the
door intact.

THE DRUM

Jimmy Spence looked wistfuIly at
his grandfather. He was only years
old and did not understand many
things, but he wondered especially
why he must not speak to the old
gentleman to whose house he went
sometimes.
Nobody would tell him that, not
even his grandmother, who was so
kind to him. But nothing had ever
stood between Josiah Spence and his
happiness except his pride. He was
called hard, but it was the hardness
of man ready to melt if the proper
solvent could be applied.
If his only son, Tom, had been
willing to say he was wrong, Josiah
would have forgiven him. But the
boy had never said he was wrong,
not even when he was a baby. So
the two had lived within three blocks
of each other and had not spoken
for ten years.
Tom was married, and Josiah
knew his wife quite well by sight,
though he never recognized her. He
knew that his wife and Toms met at
Toms house, and when little Jimmy
began to be brought to his home Jo-
siah said nothing. He would not rec
ognize the lad or admit his existence.
If Tom had only said he was
wrong! Upstairs, in the attic, were
Toms playthings, the woOIly horse,
the broken soldiers and the big drum
with the slip in it, Sometimes Jo-
siah went up and looked at them and
thought of the days when Tom had
been his little boy, befOre-the stub |

wondered more and more. Some day
he would have to be told.
Josiah Spence was 75.. He was
growing weaker and he was soften
ing with age. However, he did not
soften toward Tom. But he Ionged
for reconciliation as only a stub
born nature longs for what it cannot
obtain.
He was seated in the attic, where
he often went now, thinking of the
