HE WANTED TO KILL
PRESIDENT WILSON

There is a fellow with pro-
German proclivities living near
Nowlin, little station the other
side of Philip on the P. R. c.,
who frequently had given voice
to his opinion on the war, and
the part in which the United
States is taking in it. His re-
marks, while they were kept
within bounds did not suit the
people who listened to him talk,
and he had been demonstrated
with on several occasions in a
mild sort of way. Growing boldel
he began talking a little stronger
and at last came -out with a
threat against the life of Presi-
dent Wilson. That was sufficient
and he was at once made to
realize that he could not make
threat of that description with
impunity and after a little rough
handling was placed under ar
rest. His name is Charles Bit
finger, and has lived in the com
munity in which his threats were
made for some time. Deputy I'm
tied States Marshal Brooks left
on the Northwestern last even
ing to take charge Of the fellow
and will probably bring him
back to Deadwood for intermen1
in the county jail.-Deadwooc

BUY THRIFT STAMPS

The people of Haakon county
are expected this year to pur-
chase thrift stamps and war say
lngs certificates to the amount
of $1,000. This allotment IS
calculated at 500 per capita po-
pulation Of the county. The
states allotment is $l2,O00,O00.
The country has a great deal
Of money to raise. if the war
Is to be successfully prosecuted.
Various ways must be taken to
raise it. The rich Of the country
cannot do it alone; the men OF
the country cannot do it alone
the women of the country can
not do it alone; but all of US,
the people of the United States,
disregarding partisanship, for
getting selfish interests, think
ing only of the supremacy OF
right and determined to vlndicate
the majesty of American ideals
md secure the safety of America
and civilization, can do the
great and splendid work which
God has called upon us to do.
$71,060 may look like a large
sum for Haakon county to raise
in this one manner. 1t can only
be done by the united determina-
ton and unselfishness of our
people. That we will do it and
more, possibly, during the year
lc Review does not doubt.

The Third Loan.

Now once again you'll have a
chance to buy yourself bond,
and help the allies out in France
in Belgium and beyond. In Feb
ruary Uncle Sam will start an
other loan; and are you ready.
as I am. to put up plunk and
bone9 It's little we old gents
can do to help our armies win,
but we can certainly come
through with packages Of tin.
When everything is said and
done, tbs wealth will win the
scrap; and there be a flow of
mon from every loyal chap. You
are not asked to give away or
sacrifice your dust; you lend to
Uncle Sam-and, say, he's surely
safe to trust. You are not asked
to lend for fun; good interest
you receive: if you've no bonds,
when war is done, you'll rend
your robe and grieve. All, then
you'll hang your head in shame,
and sound doleful note you did
not help to win the game and
get the Prussian goat. But there
is none with soul so dead he
will not buy a bond, cen though
he has to cut out bread, and see
his cookstove pawned. Lets
march up cheerful, blithe and
quick, and buy, and buy, and bu.
for thus we'll make the Teuton
sick, and soak him in the eye

ONE NARROW ESCAPE
FOR P. S. DUPONT

Recently the Sunday Star has been
printing articles from its files Of

unusual interest 10 Wilmingtonians at
this time, when Pierre S. dupont, head
OF the big powder company, Is so ac-
tive in all patriotic moves and also in
keeping the Government supplied with
powder. The article follows:
Pierre s. dupont had "a narrow
escape from drowning when he board
ed the powder company's tug Emily
to go to the works at Carneys Point
He missed his footing and fell into tho
Christlana. He showed great presence
OF mind, and while keeping himself
afloat with one hand he divested him
self Of his macintosh anod coat with
the other. thus relieving the weight OF
the water-soaked clothing As soon as
the crew Of the Emily saw that Mr..
dupont had gone overheard they called
to the engineer to stop the engine. a
lifebouy was thrown to the swimmer
who had pulled away from the tug in
order TO avoid the suction. Mr.. dupont
was taken aboard. and after hastily
donning a suit Of the captains cloth
ing. hailed a cab and was driven
home"
At the time Of the accident Mr. du-
Pont was superintendent Of the smok
less powder plant at Carney Point,
which was making powder for the
Government, then at war with Spain.

was read from the pulpit Of every
church In the country Yesterday.

stain from all wheat products in order
that those who do hard, physical work
may have the benefit Of the wheat The
normal consumption Of wheat IS cut to

announces a cut in the ration TO two
pounds per person per week. which
means two pounds as bought at the
dealer and not trimmed meat

DELAWARE CITY, May 27.-Fire last
evening destroyed two frame dwellings
situated near the Canal Bridge on the
road to Port Penn. and damaged a num-
ber OF others, entailins loss Of about
$4,000.
The flre originated in one OF row
OF houses near the bridge, quickly
spreading to the adjoining properties.
At one time no less than twelve houses
and the colored church, were on lre.
The IRE alarm was sounded in Della
ware City few minutes after O'Clock,
snd the apparatus was rushed TO the
scene. Owing TO the distance OF the
water supply the fire had gained CON
siderable headway before help was
available
Learning Of the spread OF the flames
the commandant at Fort Du P0nt rushed
company Of 300 soldiers TO the scene
on double quick time. The soldiers
sNarmed over the roofs Of the houses,
tearing of blazing shingles and beating
out the flames, while others carried
furniture from the burning buildings.
But for the timely arrival OF the sol
dlers the fire would probably have de-
stroyed considerable property, as the
wind was carrying burning embers at
least a block and a half away, setting
FIRE TO a number Of roofs.
