ATTACKED BY BEES
PATROLMAN. GREEN'S HORSE
BADLY STUNG BY SWARM
OF BEES.

The other evening Patrolman Ar
Dor Green instructed his young son
to tie his horse to a tree on his lawn
in the southwest part of the city to
allow the animal to crop off the grass
and perhaps save some heavy work
at lawn moving. 1t happened that
a war; of bees from a hive on the
premises had swarmed that day and
had chung to the limbs of the iden-
teal tree to which the horse was tied,
unnoticed by the boy. 1t only took
a moment of rubbing against the
tree by the horse to excite the bees
and they lighted on the poor animal
by the thousands and each bee ca
ressed him with a sting. Mr.. Green
heard the disturbance and hurried to
the rescue of the horse, succeeding
in getting him into the barn and driv-
ing the bees away without injury to
himself and afterward hived the bees.
But the horse was a sorry sight from
the stings. His eyes soon closed, his
nostrils and head swelled and Mr..
Green worked with him all night, ap-
plying soothing lotions. Mr.. Green
says in the morning the poor animal
resembled a hippopotamus, so swell
ed was his head and body, but he /:
all right now.

FATALLY BURNED
DISTRESSING ACCIDENT TO LIT
TIE LUCILLE DOUGHERTY.

Lucille Dougherty, aged 13 years,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. j.
Dougherty, died at the Madison hos
pital at 4:30 O'Clock this morning,
the result of burns received Saturday
evening. The circumstances are that
the little girl was at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. John Brene, a mile or two
from the Dougherty home, IL miles
southwest of the city, during the alb
sence of Mr.. Brene in Chicago. Sat-
urday evening about z o'clock she
was frying potatoes on an ordinary
cooking stove when the grease in the
frying pan burst into flames, the
burning grease exploding and satur-
ating a light MILDLY which the little
girl was wearing which also burst in
to flames. The child was terribly
burned about the face, breast, abdo-
men and arms. Drs. Kellogg and AL
lison were summoned and as soon as
possible brought her to the local hos
pital, where the physicians, assisted
by DR.. Grove, of Dell Rapids, gave
proper attention and remedies, but
their efforts were of little avail. Aft
er the dressings the child was with
out pain from her injuries, but the
shock was great and certain vital or
gans refused to perform their func-
tions, resulting from the widespread
burns, and after lingering until 1870
O'Clock this morning she passed
away.
The j. D%ougherty family of eight
children resided in the northeast por-
ton of Madison until last spring
when they removed to the farm they
now occupy. Lucille was the third
child in age. ID. r. Dougherty,, of
this city. is a brother of Mr.. Dough-
erty.

WaShinton Skeptical.

Washington. March 23. The long hOmbardment of Paris, announced as a fact today in the ,Frcncn capi- tal. dumbfoundcd American ordnance officers. The 2I mile bonbarfl,nent of Dunkirk by the, Germans more than a year ago has set record and ordnance officers here freely con cedcd they never had dreamed of a gun with Q range of mora than 90 miles. Some frankly questioned that shells from riflcd cannon actually had fallen in Paris. Others sought explanation in new devices or secret gun cmplacemcnts ia the vicinity of Paris. No one wanted to believe that any gun had been invented which could throw g. g 1-2 inch pro- iectile so far. The finding of shell Fragments bearing marks of gun riff ling seemed to preclude tue idea of any ordinary airplane bomo. It was suggested that monster airplanes mounting guns might have heen used but no one had eyer conceived of possibility of carrying go large weapons in the air. Some officers conceived the possibility that in the outskirts Of Paris there might be a hidden gun.
 If the Germans have evolved sp wholly new type. not dependent up- on the same mathematical factors that govern ordnance everywhere. of ficers here think it unlikely they would employ it for meaningless attack on Paris.
 bombardment of Paris at a dis tance of 62 miles appeared to most of the ordnance officers as such % complete surprise that they found it difficult to talk about.

 50 Hum Planes
 With Loss of s
Allied Airn1en Appear to Hold Mastery of Air in
 Great Battle.

London, March 23.-An official statement of aerial operations. issued tonight, says:
 "Thck morning mists Friday pre- vented our airplanes, from leaving the ground during the early part of the day. When the mist cleared, there was much activity on one battle front. Our enemy's low flying machines were particularly active, engaging our for ward troops with machine guns. The enemy's massed troops again offered good targets for our low flying air: planes. The locations and range of hostile troops and transports were re- ported to our artillery and successfully engaged. Eight and one half tons of bombs were dropped on hostile railway stations in the rear of the battle front, and on the enemy's billets, high veloc- ity guns, troops and transports.
 The fighting in the air was very heavy, almost all the combats taking place between Arras and St. Quentin, 27 enemy machines were brought down and 20 driven down out of control; two hostile machines were shot down in our lines by anti-aircraft guns, and another by the infantry. Eight of our machines are missing.
 During the night our squadrons dropped over IA tons of bombs on hos tile billets, ammunition and areas in which enemy's troops were cOncentrat- ed. All our machines returned safe ly."

WASHINGTON SEES

 On Great Battle.
CONSIDER SUPREME
 GERMAN WAR EFFORT
Believe Huns Willing to Sacrifice 3UO.OO0 Men in Attempt to Pierce .Line--( Oniidpnt Allies
 win Hold.

Washington, March 22-rhe war department cabled General Pershing tonight to forward immediately defi- mite information of tho exact situa- tlon on the western battle front American army officers would haz- ard no opinions. lacking defi.ile ad- vices. Privately. however their con- fidence in the eventual repulser of the Germans remains unshaken.
 Both American officers and those attached to the British and French military missions, looked with conf dence on the story unfolded from hour to hour. A review of the days events. they said, gave no ground for assuming the allied resisting TOW CT would prove unequal. All reports were taken to prove that the Ger mans had staked lives by the hun dred thousands upon the quick blow designed to be overpoWerins because of the masses of men used, and be. cause of absolute disregard of los ses. There was evidence to tear out prediction that Germany was pre- pared to sacrifice 100000 men in the effort
 Military experts say such an effort as the Germans are making cannot be continued long Every foot gain ed means added difficulties of trans portation. and the consequent slow ing ,tp of the forward movement. A day or two more of bitter resistance, even, including further British re- tirer,ent, it was thought, would see the impetus of the German thrust lost, and it's power smashed. Then world come opportunities for coun- ter blows on major scale.
 Officials were hopeful, that to- morrow's report will show clearly the German objective and stens to offset the drive. They are beginning to look for counted blows by the al- lies on other sections.

WHEAT RATION
 CUl 10 MET
 ARMY DEMANDS
Food Administrations Asks Public to Make Further
 Reduction in Use.

Washington, March 23.-Further re- duction in consumption of wheat was asked of the public by the food ad- ministration, that scant supplies avail able before the next harvest may be stretched to meet the needs of the army, domestic consumers and the al lies. Every American is urged to cut his average ration 50 per cent. This gives a ration of not more than one and one half pounds of wheat pro of a barrel for town customer and to ducts weekly for each person. f
 Flour sales will be cut to one eighth one quarter of barrel for country customer. The wheat contents of ba- ker's bread will be reduced to 75 per cent on April IA, which increases by five per cent the amount of substitutes to be used.

London, March 23.--While clouds of uncertainty obscured details of the worlds greatest battle, the guns of which are heard in London tonight, relief is felt that Germany has finally shown her hand. The purpose and method of her long talked of blow are now plain. 1tindanberg's object i've is undoubtedly the channel ports, but his purpose is to take the first step by breaking thru the allies line near the junction of the French and British armies.
 The attack thus far has shown no new strategy, but appears to be simply a colossal blow of masses of men, and guns, hitherto never used together on any battlefield.
 There is no surprise that the Brit ish army has been forced back as lines of defense have been before all great OffenSes.
