ings with reference to taking them
over for the use of sick and disabled
soldiers of the present war. The
Evans hotel may be taken over as a
hospital for convalescent men and
the Battle Mountain sanitarium, ma
tional home for disabled veterans of
the civil and Spanish wars, may be
taken over for bed-ridden patients
and surgical cases. There is also a
possibility that the two large hos
pitfalls of the town, the Lutheran and
Our Lady of Lourdes, may be used
for the same purpose. The commits

MADISON'S PROBLEM
ELECTRIC LIGHT AND POWER
UNDER CONSIDERATION.

Mayor James Robertson's trip to
Sioux Falls the other day revealed
to him after an interview with Mayor
Burnside, the possibility that Madi-
o might be obliged to return the
engine borrowed some time ago to
keep u lights in operation here.
The mayor of Sioux Falls stated to
Mr.. Robertson that if a deal could be
put over with parties in Omaha the
city of Sioux Falls would come into
possession of an engine that will
serve home needs and thus release to
Madison the equipment now here. If
this falls through Mayor Robertson
has a prospect in view where he pos
sibly can secure an engine to connect
with the 100 kilowatt generator re-
Gently purchased from Flandreau
parties.
OF course the lighting system in
Madison is poor enough at best just
now, and u mayor is aware of the
fact, hence he is scurrying around in
an endeaVo TO get such equipment
as will be needed should an emer-
gency come upon us. 1t is barely
possible that Sioux Falls will find a
way out of their difficulty and we
will be privileged to continue using
what machinery is now here in opera
ton. Patience on the part of the
citizens is advised, for with war now
over and the prospect of the govern
ment's withdrawal of priority orders
on materials of construction, the OPP
portunity for an early erection of our
lighting plant is very bright. Every
effort will be made to see that Mad
ison is furnished both light and
power this winter.

SICK AT CHESTER
LAKE COUNTY TOWN SENDS
HELP CALL TO SIOUX
FALLS.

Sioux Falls, Nov. 13.-The people
of Chester, Lake county, sent a hurry
up call to Sioux Falls for physicians
and nurses to aid In caring for the
large number of persons there and
in that vicinity who have influenza
and pneumonia. DR.. G.. HI. Fulford
was dispatched at once to aid in car
ing for the sufferers. Mrs. H. r.
Dennis, provided with contagious
ward masks, pneumonia packets and
bed linen, also departed for Chester,
to assist in nursing the sick. More
nursing aid is badly needed and it
is probable a number more Sioux
Falls women will go to the scene. A
Chester church has been temporarily
converted into a hospital, and to
equip the place properly all kinds of
bedding and linen is needed.

WORK APPRECIATED
LAKE COUNTY'S RESPONSE TO
THE FOURTH LIBERTY
LOAN.

John w. Walden, chairman of
Lake county's Liberty loan commit
tee, is in receipt of the following ap-
preciative letter from A. r. Rogers,
district chairman:
THE larger the demand made by
our government, the better the peo-
pie of this district respond, and the
final figures of the fourth Liberty
loan are exceeding our most hopeful
expectations.
Nov that l have time to personal
ly reflect upon what has been accom-
plished it is with the realization that
these results have only been attained
by the most thorough cooperation
and by the most intensely patriotic
service which has been rendered by
each and every one connected with
the Liberty loan organizations of
which we have all been a part.
I'm thanking you for your cooper
alton and willing acceptance of our
many suggestions, / want not only to
express the appreciation of the en-
tire central committee, but to tell you
that l personally appreciate the val
ued services of your committee"

ALARM CALLS FIREMEN TO RE-

The Regan & Murray %confection-

O'Clock this morning. A pile of nap
kins which were placed too close to
the gasoline flames under the coffee

burned, the extra heat from which
caused the container to explode, thus
scattering flames up the side wall.
A quick fire alarm and the timely
arrival of chemical extinguishers
soon put out all the fire visible.
Shortly after this the fire bell sound

CAMP MORRISON
EXEMPTION BOARD, RE-
CEIVES LETTER FROM
HIS son.

H. A. Johnson writes rs father,
p. A. Johnson, of the local exemp-
tion board, from Camp Morrison, Va,
under date of November g., stating
that during the trip east the Red
Cross was on hand at every point
comfort for the weary travellers. He
has been there just long enough not
to like the east very well. He men
tions being glad that he was born
in a civilized country (meaning the
west) and not in Virginia where he
is not overjoyed with the mountain
ous character of the topography.
The hills of West Virginia strike him
as awful" while the mountains of
old Virginia made a slightly more
favorable impression upon him. They
made a stop at Sulphur Springs, a
fashionable rich mans resort. The
boys are undergoing a 48-hour quar-
antine which will be over and leaves
of absence will be then granted. I'm
der this freedom Nv. Johnson intends
making a trip to Washington, ID. c..
Camp Morrison lies about eight
miles from Norfolk and Newport
News.
The boys at camp are about to
take an overseas examination and all
are of the opinion that unless they
get it in 10 days they. are quite GER
tain to stay at that place. He feels
that they must get used to Virginia
in order to like il and the feeling is
uppermost among those from this
part of the country that Virginia is
about 100 years behind the west.
The most familiar sights back there
are negroes and razorbacks hogs.
Some of those eastern corn pone eat
ers are even accused of not knowing
there is a war. This interesting let
ter states that celebrations were held
at all cities along the route of travel
on Thursday last.

HIS SONS FRIEND
WEALTHY MAN WILL BUILD
MONUMENT FOR SOUTH DA-
KOTA SOLDIER.

Sioux Falls, Nov. ia wealthy
New York man will erect a monu-
ment over the grave of "Bill' THORN,
a famous South Dakota soldier of
fortune, who recently died at Pres
colt, Ariz., of tuberculosis, resulting
from being gassed during the battle
of the Somme in 1917.
While in France THORN was an IN
innate friend of Victor l.. Chapman,
who was killed while serving in the
Lafayette escadrille flying corps.
Victor Chapman's father, John Jaw
Chapman, of New York, n wealthy
philanthropist, became interested in
THORN because of the friendship be-
tween THORN and his son.
When THORN was incapacitated
for further active service and devel-
oped tuberculosis from being gassed,
John Jay Chapman paid all the ex-
penses of bringing him to America,
sent him to Arizona for his health
and paid all the bills involved by his
sickness, as well as his funeral ex-
penses.
1t now is announced that the New
York man will erect a monument ov-
er the grave of "Bill" THORN as a
mark of respect to the memory of the
dead soldier of fortune. THORN had
an unusually exciting career, having
fought in different parts of the world
for pure love of adventure.
He had a command of lurid Ian
guage which made him a favorite
among newspaper men, and inter-
views granted them by him while he
was in active service in the war
against the German empire appeared
in many of the leading daily newspa-
pers of the United States and other
allied countries.
During the intervals between
fighting in different parts of the
world THORN was a resident of Lin
coin county.
