FINE ELK SPECIMEN
AT THE STATE HOUSE

Pierre. s.. D., Dec. 3d. Abig bull
moose stands guard at the west door
OF the capital these days. With its
antlered spread Of six feet, and nine
Feet IN height, 1t makes an imposing
appearance to all who enter the west
This big animal was killed
by B. A. Cummins, OF this city, while
on a hunting trip in Canada, and the
mounting was done in Winnipeg. The
specimen was SO large that 1t required
considerable skill in working him
through the statehouse to his present
location, without damaging electric
electrict fixtures. One of the features
OF the killing of this animal is that
when the carcass was dressed an en-
cysted bullet was found in the heart
OF the big bull. Just how he could
carry this is one Of the mysteries. as
the bullet had evidently been in his
heart for some time before he was
killed.

INFLUENZA FIGHT is
BEING WON AT ABERDEEN

Aberdeen, S. D., Jan. 1.-The influ-
enza situation has materially improved
in Aberdeen within the last week. The
board of health has announced that the
number OF new cases reported daily
has decreased very largely. Deaths
from pneumonia following influenza
still continue, but it is believed these
will soon cease, as the situation con-
tinues to improve. A considerable per-
centage Of the deaths have been those
of patients hurried to Aberdeen from
smaller towns or country neighbor-
hoods for treatment.
The dispute over the "du mask" or
der of the health board, which at one
time promised to lead to lawsuits, end
ed in the health board issuing an order
%revoking the compulsory provision re-
garding the wearing of the masks. but
recommending their continued use.
Following this action. the "flu mask"
has practically disappeared from Aber-
deem except in rare instances.
The Northern Normal and Industrial
School has arranged to install an emer-
gency hospital of its own for the care
OF students who may become ill with
the influenza, and assurance is given
all young persons contemplating at
tending the school that there is less
danger of them becoming affected with
the epidemic at the school than there
is at home, because of the care exer-
cised, and that If they do get sick
they will receive the best Of hospital
care under skilled physicians and
trained nurses. The proportion of stu
dents taking the disease has been
much lower than that of the general
population, at all times.
