Fired by Liqhtninu.

W. H. Terrill, formerly of Mineral
Point, now of Early, Iowa, suffered a
severe lossiby fire caused by lightning
during the night Of August 4. The
Early News says:
During the thunder storm Saturday evening
lightning entered W. H Terrill's shoe store and
harness shop and in an instant nearly the whole
interior was in flames and Mr. Terrill who was
n the room at the time, after having been
knocked down by the bolt, recovered in suffi
cient time to save himself from the flames The
fire company was quickly on the spot and soon
extingutshed the flames but between the fire.

fixtures were nearly ruined. The building was
also much damaged. Tho plate glass front and
side windows were all broken.
Terrill we understand carried 81, 900 insurance
which he thinks will nowhere near cover the
loss.
1t is very unfortunate. and indeed severe
loss to Mr. Terrill

Red Cross Workers Are Volunteers.

There are no salaries paid to any
members of the Mineral Point Red
Cross reports to the contrary notwith
standing. The work is entirely volun
tary. We women at home can do little
enough in these stirring times and
what we do we are glad to do volun
tarily. Before long we are certain
there will not be an able bodied woman
in Mineral Point or it's neighborhood,
who will not be doing her bit. What
a pity there are still some who do not
realize the Importance of our share. If
you cannot come and fold surgical
dressings and make shirts, surely you
can take home that part of the work
which is allowed to go out or you can
learn to knit, straight plain knitting
such as many little girls do.
Everything the Red Cross makes for
the boys will be on exhibition in the
Red Cross booth at the fair. Visit the
booth and find out what you can do.

TOLD TO THE PRINTER


The farmers bring in good reports
from the farms these days. Said The
Democrat printer to Rawleigh James,
"You are pulling up a pretty good
harvest, aren't your" and he replied,
Yes, dandy; I don't think that l
ever put up better one." The reports
are all very encouraging.

university. squad. That the two
academies should be able to put such
powerful. combinations or the field as
those which represent the Army and
Navy this season is little short Of re-
markable.
That such is the case, however. is
amply proved by the records for the
season up to the close of the month
of October. In this period Of about
five weeks Of play the Middies have
run up q total of 239 points in ive
games and lead all the other eastern
~elevens in this respect by a comforta-
been quite SO active in this respect
being tied with the University of
Pennsylvania for fifth place.
The Navy also possesses in Ingram
the best individual scorer to date
among the teams Of the same section.
Ingram has collected los points as his
! contribution to the success of the
Middies eleven. His nearest competi-
tor, strange to say. is 'Qliphant Of the
Army who has scored Sc points. In
both these cases the cores were
made through touchdowns and goals
from touchdowns alone. In all round
scoring McCreight of Washington and
Jefferson and Meehan Of Syracuse are
the leaders. McCreight has. scored
four touchdowns; six goals from
touchdowns and four field goals. Nee
han has collected four touchdowns,
seven goals from touchdowns and two

In a statement tonight commenting
on the Thorne letter. Comptroller
Williams declared that his original
statement was.issued in the interest Of
the national banks.
Our national banks, which are un-
der h supervision of this Office" he
said, ARE large holders Of high grade
railroad. bonds which a declined
greatly in value. My statement was
intended to give announcement and
to prevent the unnecessary sacrifice
of such securities, believing as l. did
that the interests of III railroads
would be safeguarded and protected
and hat they would be permitted to
charge such rates for transportation as
would, with good management, enable
them to ear a fair return upon h
capital invested in them.
Refers to Quotations.
Mr.. Williams asserted that it was
only necessary to refer to the stock
error of MI. Thorne's claim that
railroad securities Is a class have de-
clined at a less rate than government
bonds; that the shippers attorney
omitted reference to the shrinkage Of
railroad net during the cur
rent rear and h a Mr.. Thorne said
the war had failed entirely to injure
the railroads when he knew that the
roads were paying 100 per cent more
for coal and other materials.
.Shrinkage in railroad stock values,
the comptroller said, had amounted in
the shares OF a dozen principal sys
Items to nearly one billion dollars. or
approximately as much Is the entire
bonded Indebtedness Of tho United
States amounted to last spring.

''U'' TEAM GETS
LAST WORKOUT
Greatly Weakened by Loss
of Delaney and

After a nights rest the North Da-
kota university team was given a
short workout this morning On the
ECreighton field. The workout con-
sisted Of a signal practice. The play
Iers are in good physical condition but
Coach Gill is of the, opinion that the
team will be materially weakened by
the, loss Of Delaney and Richards,
who were forced to remain here be-
cause of injuries sustained in the
game with the A. c. last Saturday.
Captain Helmkay has changed the
back field considerably on account Of
the loss of-these two men. He will
play the quarterback position to fill
DeLancey's place and Grifhth will take
Helmkay's place at half. Haynes
will play the other halfback position,
which was formerly filled by Rich
ards. Hennemuth will play efullbaek.
The other positions will be filled by
the same men as used in the A. c.
game.
The men realized that they must
fight hard for a victory and left this
city with the intentions of doing their
best. -
Besides this game with Creighton,
the North Dakota university team
will play another in the same terri
tory. Next Saturday they are booked
for a game with Marquette university
at Milwaukee.
