Died THIS MORNING
GEORGE w. CLEMENS PASSED
AWAY AT THE MADISON
HOSPITAL.

George w. Clemens, who until six
weeks ago when he was taken to his
bed was a reporter on The Daily
Leader, died at the Madison hospital
at A O'Clock this morning of cancer
of the stomach and liver. The re-
mains were removed to E. l.. Peck's
undertaking rooms and prepared for
burial. The funeral party consisting
of wife and two children and the
mother of deceased, will leave for
Sioux City tomorrow morning and
the remains will be laid beside the
father in Graceland cemetery, of that
city.
George w. Clemens was born in
New York state in 1875. He is sur
vived by wife, two children, Helen,
aged 10, and Ruth, aged 10, mother,
Mrs. Helen Clemens, two brothers,
John Clemens, Of Austin, Mimi, and
w. r. Clemens. of Sioux City. The
mother is in the city with the be-
reaved family and the two brothers
have been here, departing for their
homes a few days ago.
Deceased came west to Sioux City
with his fathers family at the age OF
8 years and has resided in that city
practically since that time except six
years at Medora, N. D., where he was
engaged In the newspaper business.
Mr.. Clemens accepted a position
as reporter on The Daily Leader
about Is months ago. Never in good
health he performed his work with
ability and was well liked by his as
sociates and the people with whom
he came in contact about the city.
He was willing and accommodating
in all of his work and seemed to
take an ownership interest in assist
ing in producing the best the city af-
forded in the way of local news.
This trait is an index of his charac-
ter as a man of strict integrity and
a natural born disposition to deal
strictly honest with his fellow man.
No better word could be said for any
man in whatever station of life he
occupied during his lifetime.
There will be no funeral services
in this city. The remains upon their
arrival in Sioux City will be taken In
charge by the Masonic fraternity OF
that city Of which deceased was a
member and the funeral and burial
will be according to the Masonic
usages.

PLANS CHANGED
TEMPORARY LIGHTING PLANT
TO BE LOCATED AT STATE
NORMAL SCHOOL.

The plan to install a temporary
lighting plant at the roundhouse has
been abandoned, and the plant will
now be located at the State Normal
power plant. An engine of 125
horsepower and a generator of rs
kilowatt will be installed in the Nor
NAL power plant and the steam from
the three 100 horsepower boilers
there used to drive the added engine
and generator. The steam used al
the Normal plant is for heating the
several buildings on the campus and
the use of the steam for this purpose
may be continued without Interrupt
ton with the added machinery. The
engine and generator for temporary
use will be brought from Sioux Falls.
Sufficient capacity will be obtained
to light the business district and pro-
vide power for motors. The use OF
the steam at the Normal plant will
not interfere with the heating of the
Normal buildings while school is in
session next winter. Mayor Robert
son, Engineer Baldwin, of the Nor
NAL plant, City Engineer Trimmer
and Superintendent Quarnstrom, of
the city plant, will 60 to Sioux Falls
and look over the engine and gene
rator which are said to be in good
condition and determine upon other
equipment necessary to install the
machinery.
The abandonment of the round
house plan was for the reason that
all of the boiler capacity there is
needed, especially in the winter sea-
son, and its use by the city would
necessarily be of short duration. The
officials of the Milwaukee railway in
charge were willing to grant the ac-
commodation, but consent would
have to come from the government
and this would take time to obtain.
The water system is practically
normal today. Three pumps have
been installed at the well and the
standpipe was filled last night, the
first time since the fire. Pressure
today has been strong and water
users are well provided for.

PRANK COSTS LIFE
MRS. FRANK WHEELER, OF
MONTROSE, VICTIM OF Pc
CULIAR ACCIDENT.

Sioux Falls, Aug. Playing with
her 4~-year-old son in the yard of her
home at Montrose last week, Mrs
Frank Wheeler stepped back with a
smile as the child cried, Look out,
mamma, I'm going to jump on you
And as she stepped, she fell to the
ground. The baby made good his
word and landed squarely on the alb
domen of his mother, as she lay pros
trate. Mrs. Wheeler died at mid
night last night at McKennan hos
pital here, while four other children,
ranging from 2 to 10 years Of age,
are left motherless by the strange
accident.
Mrs. Wheeler was only 80 years OF
age and devoted to her children.
When the little ones were romping
in the yard, she spent as much time
with them as her other duties would
permit. And when last Thursday the
little boy asked her to play with him.
she quickly consented.
A small shed. only a few feet from
the ground, gave the child a hiding
place and when he appeared at one
end and laughingly threatened to
jump down on his mother, she COM
menced to back out of the way, when
she tripped.
Mrs. Wheeler was brought to the
hospital when her injuries failed TO
respond to any treatment, and 1t was
but a few hours when death ensued
The remains will be taken back to
Montrose for burial by the husband
and other relatives.

DESTROYS ST. MICHAEL CONVENT

ST. MICHAEL. Dec. 9th.-A fire supposed 10 have been started by Q defective fluo completely destroyed the convent run by the Catholic Sis ters in the environs of St Michae ael shortly after eight o'clock this morn- ing with a property loss of about five thousand dollars.
 The fire had gained a good start when discovered and although every effort was made to quench the flames by impromptu fire fighters, the absence of adequate fire fighting equipment rendered the task impossible. Neigh bors arrived with hand eXtinguishers and worked heroically until several were overcome by smoke and had to be carried away. Their places were taken by others and the hopeless fight continued with vigor until the last chance was gone. The troops at the military post also turned out enmasse and assisted the civilians in heroic manner but could do nothing beyond saving some of the furniture. Considerable excitement was created during the earlier stages of the fire by the discovery that the Sister Sup crior was not among the Sisters who fled from the building when the fire was discovered. On discovering the absence of thelr superior, several of the Sisters hurried into the blazins- structure and rescued the missing nun at the risk of their lives with tradit- |ona heroism. The fight continued for some time but the fire burned too fast for control and the building was burned to the ground.
