our exchange table, and it is quite a
pretentious publication. While we
have some doubts as to whether such
magazine can be successfully pub
li,hed in 50 new a country as this

Irublishers, there is no gainsaying the

much credit upon the publishers, anc
We trust that patronage will be suffi

BADLY BURNED

f. /. Terpin of White River passed
through here Tuesday morning on his
way to Frank Jenkins, who lives IN
/ Todd county about twelve miles
! southwest of Okreek, where he went
| to deliver a new Ford car that Mr..
jenkins had bargained for, George

accompanied Mr.. Terpin TO the
Jelkins home. While there "A Liz
p.airie fire that had been burning all
dav bore down on the Jenklus ranch
and NJ, Terpin, jenkins and McCloS

with the flames. A high wind was
! bowiny, which made the task exceed
ingly difficult and hazardous. While
! fighting the flames in some pretty
I rank grass the wind shifted. and the
! fighter, could not get out OF the way
of the Angry flames. Mr. Terpln
made run for the Ford with the III
tention Of running the car out OF dau
ger, but when he got the car started
the flames were upon him, and the
smoke was SO dense that he could not
see, SO he jumped from the car and
| let the ear run wild with no one at the
steering wheel. The flames swept
over Mr.. Terpins body and he was
severely burned about the head and
face, wrists, legs and feet. The fire
burned his trousers from his body
and the shoes from his feet, but he
had on Il raincoat which protected
the upper part Of his body and pair
of gloves saved his hands. Mr.
jenkins did not fare quite so well as
he was severely burned about the
face, hands, feet and legs, and at last
reports was in IA pretty serious condl
ton and be was Immediately taken to
the Winner hospital for treatment.
Mr.. McCiosky was more fortunate
as he had a heavy blanket which he
wrapped around him and lay down
aud let the fire run over him, without
apparent injury, alter which he went
to the rescue of the other two men,
who no doubt would have persisted
had Mr.. McClosky not been there to
go to their aid and extinguish their
burning garments. 1t was ii very
narrow escape for all three men to
say the least. Mr.. Jenkins was the
vas the porst sufferer of the three.
Mr.. Terpin had made arrangements
with Bert Humphrey, the stage driver
to come after him to take him back
home and it is we'll he did SO FOR Mr..
Humphrey arrived on the scene right
after the accident, and took Mr.. Ter
pin to Carter, where he was given
medical aid, and then brought him on
through to his home at White River,
where, at last reports, be was getting
along as we'll as could be expected.
This FIRE no doubt did considerable
damage TO ranch property besides
sweeping over large area Of fine

REVIEWS WORK OF
BISHOP HARTZELI

DR. o. T Dwinell in reviewing the
work of the Methodist conference at
Saratoga Wednesday evening at his
church spoke especially of the life
work of Bishop Hartzell, missionary
bishop to Africa In all of his "a
years as Methodist preacher he has
travelled a million miles in every way
imaginable and had never once been
in an accident Of any kind or suffered
the slightest physical injury. Dr.
Dwinell further reviewed the work of
Bishop Hartzell, in which he says
The white mans prejudice is the col
ored mans burden. 1t is not always
a conspiracy of the passions. Neither
is it an inherent baseness. 1t is more
an Inheritance or result of environ
ment But come in whatever way it
has come to many American people,
it has come to be their own worst
enemy: it has set itself as an insuper-
able hindranCe to both their intelli-
gence and integrity. Accompanied
with contemptuots disdain, it has ex-
pressed itself in the persecution of
the whole colored race During the
quadrennium just closed the colored
conference has raised for pastoral and
church support s3,544,185. They have

MEMORIAL DAY WAS ONLY
HALF HEART|DLY OBSERVED
Few Of the Remaining Old Soldiers
Ventured Out Owing to Weather
Conditions.

Tuesday was Memorial Day all over
the country and it was observed pretty
generally according to newspaper re-
ports. Here in Oakland a soaking rain
fell almost the entire day and as re-
suit very few, probably half a dozen,
old soldiers ventured out to do their
fallen comrades the honors due them.
The graves of the dead. however, had
been decorated the evening previous by
members of the Sons of. Veterans. This
was all the more appreciated by the
survivors when 1t was found impossible
to muster their comrades for the march
to the cemeteries where the memorial
services were to be held, and in conse.
quence the annual observance was
abandoned.
Members of the various frateIna
societies, however, marched to the city
Of the dead and there decorated the
graves of their departed brethren az
did also hundreds of others whose IoveC
ones repose therein.
