GREAT BRITAIN
MAKES HEADWAY
RAILWAY STRIKE SITUATION M
PROVING-MORE TRAINS
RUNNING

London, Oct. 2.-Great Britain is
making headway in dealing with the
national strike of her railway men.
The official cOmmunique from Down
ing street announced that the rail-
way service was improving, more
trains have been run than called for
under the schedules prepared by the
companies yesterday. This was il
line with forecasts that betterment
of conditions in this respect might be
expected.
Attempts to derail trains which
occurred yesterday were referred to
by the Downing street statement as
some minor acts of sabotage" +"
These, ii was explained, had caused
no loss of life and the necessary steps
had been taken to deal with this
phase of the situation. Meanwhile,
the distribution of food is proceeding
satisfactorily, the authorities an
nounce. The latest expressions from
strike leaders were not lacking in de-
determination to carry the struggle
through. James Henry Thomas, Sec
retary of the national union of rail-
way men, indicated that the calling in
of help from other labor bodies was
contemplated.
Congestion in railroad traffic
caused by the strike is expected to be
relieved today by the running of an
increased number of trains. Volun-
teer workmen are reported coming
forward to run the trains and the
government has invited citizens to act
as special constables in emergency.
Attempts to derail trains occurred
yesterday for the first time since the
strike began and two trains were
stoned near Aberdeen.
Government officials have issued
regulations providing for price fixing
and restricting the consumption o.
staple foods. Motors and lorries are
bringing milk and foodstuffs into th'
city and system of distribution ha:
been worked out by the cabinet.

south DAKOTA
DEMOCRATS
SENATOR ED s. JOHNSON NOT TO
BE A CANDIDATE AGAIN
is BELIEF

Sioux Falls, Oct. 2--In well in
formed democratic circles, it seems
to be accepted that United States
Senator Ed S. Johnson, of Yankton,
will not again be candidate for the
senate. While nothing official has
been given out, the rumor is given
more than passing credence and some
of the more energetic leaders of the
party are said to be quietly casting
about to find a suitable successor to
the senator who might be able to
wage fight that would win the toga
Senator Johnson is a wealthy man
He has enjoyed the honor and dis
tinction that go with a seat in the
United States senate and he has some
extensive business interests that are
said to be pressing him for personal
attention. While circumstances could
arise by which it would seem advis-
able for him to again make the race,
it is said that his personal inclina-
tions are opposed to further partici-
patton in that respect.
Col. F. p. Mcclure, of Pierre, one
of the old wheelhorses of the party,
has been mentioned as a possible
candidate and would rally to his sup
port many members of the party over
the state. Some of the younger ele-
ment OF democrats are quietly BOOM
ing Congressman Harry L. Candy, OF
Rapid City, maintaining that no dem
ocrat in South Dakota would be able
to make a harder or more effective
race than the Black Hills man. They
point with particular emphasis to his
ability to do things, the support he
has in the past received at the polls,
even from some republicans, and his
wide acquaintance over the state in
each district.
But to some of the more regular
democrats Candy is said to be not
altogether acceptable. They point
out that he has not managed to keep
his political skirts entirely free from
the party differences that have stirred
up animosity in the past and thai
these would crop out with fresh vigol
should he be the choice of the party
for the senate. His comparatively
short residence in the state-abou
10 years-is also used as an argu
ment against him and his location il
western South Dakota does not favor
him from a geographical unwritter
law, they maintain.
Still the fact remains that there il
scouting for somone to hold aioft the
democratic banner in South Dakota a
the primary election the fourtf
Tuesday in March, 1920, the prevail
ing impression seeming to gair
ground that Senator Johnson will
sooner or later let it be known tha
he does not intend to seek renomina
| tion.

Indians Want to Join
American Legion

Watertown, Oct. 2.-That the In
dian boys around Sisseton who served
in the army during the recent war
are taking an active interest in the
American Legion and becoming mem
bers of the Sissteton post, is the in
formation received by the state pub
licity office at Watertown. There
There are fifty or sixty ex-soldiers
among the Indians in that vicinity
and post officials confidently believe
they will all become members of the
Legion as soon as they become thor
oughly acquainted with the purposes
of the organization. The Indians,
since their period Of service. are anx
ious to be given full citizenship. The
Sisseton post is named after Edward

Death Brings
a Confession

Brookings, Oct. 2.-Just before he
died in the Brookings hospital
August IS. as a result of the explo-
sion of his engine, Ralph KILN, a
thresher, to relieve his conscience,
admitted that he had deserted a wife
and four children in Minnesota. He
may not have intended word of his
ploght to reach his family, but in
some way it did and as result w.
A. Swark, secretary of the South Da-
kota Thresherman's association, last
week paid $4,000 to the little family
way up in Minnesota woods
KILN had posed for three years at
Aurora, where he worked, as single
man. When taken to the hospital
and told that he would die, he SEEM
ed to be oppressed with some secret
and finally confided that he had q
family that lived near Pine River,
Mimi.
Secretary Swark found the little
family in the most destitute circuIn-
stances imaginable and the $4,000
looked as good as million.

WATERFOWL To
PUT in PLANT
PRIVATE COMPANY REFUSES TO
SELL LIGHT AND POWER
SYSTEM TO CITY

Watertown, Oct 2.--Lawsuits and
sparring for advantage in a heated
contest between the city and the
Watertown Light & Power Co. over
the question of rates charged here for
electric current, are believed to be at
an end with the city's decision to
build Immediately a municipal power
and light plant.
The resolution authorizing sale of
bonds voted several months go for a
city plant, was passed upon refusal
of the light company TO sci Its plant
for $4,000, the amount at which it
was appraised by an engineer en-
ployed by the city The company
asked S430,000 forsits plant.
The public utilities committee of
the city council, authorized TO go
ahead with the municipal plant, has
already purchased q site and large
building used now as q machinery
warehouse. This is to be rebuilt to
house the new power plant. The city
plant will Immediately take over the
lighting of streets, pumping water for
the municipal waterworks ysteu
and operating the sewer pumping sta
tion.
The light company's street light
ing franchise expires in a little over
a year, but it's franchise to sell light
and power to private consumers runs
until 1929.
The citys' allegations that the com
pany was charging an exorbitant rate
was made over a year ago.

PROCLAIMS fire
PREVENTION DAY
GOV. NORBECK SETS ASIDE DAY
TO PLAN REDUCTION OF
FIRE LOSSES

Pierre, Oct 2.-Goyernor Norbeck
has issued the following Fire Preven-
tion Day proclamation:
Cleanup and Fire Prevention
Day is indeed an important factor in
the campaign for conservation of our
national resources and will prove to
be valuable aid in lowering the cost
of living by reducing the excessive
fire waste throughout the country.
The fire losses in the United States
and Canada in 1913 were s317, 7,000,-
900, and the cost of maintaining fire
departments 100000, making a
total of more than $3.50, 100000 in
the two nations during the year.
Eighty per cent of this loss, / am
assured, is preventable.
Far more serious, however, than
the financial loss is the toll taken
of South Dakota having thus lost
their lives in 1918. Loss of life can
not be measured in dollars and cents
and as fire preventionists, we must
emphasize from time to time the fact
that many lives are every year
snuffed out through fire.
"South Dakota is largely an agri-
cultural state and one of its greatest
crops is the hay crop. Hundreds of
thousands of ton sof the hay are an
nually stacked on our prairies. This
represents enormous sums of money
and sohuld be protected with ade-
quate fireguards, as should also the
grain stacks, in order that our own
livestock may be safely carried
through the winter and also that of
the drouth stricken districts to the
north and west of our state
Il therefore designate and set
apart as Clean Up and Fire Proven
tion Day Thursday, October 8, 1919,
and hereby call upon the press, the
mayors of cities, commercial clubs
school authorities, and all the people
of our state on that day to give espe-
cial consideration to the best means
of safeguarding against destructive
fires"

CATHOLIC PRAYER
BOOK IDENTIFIED
WAS CARRIED BY FATHER e. r..
O'FLAHERTY WHEN HE WAS
KILLED In BATTLE

Mitchell, Oct. 2.-The mystery of
the ownership of a Catholic prayer
manual has been solved after seven
years. The book was left in a pew
in the Holy Family Catholic church
here by a Mrs. Katherine Wahl, of
Schaller, Ia. 1t was given to Father
c. E. O'Flaherty, then pastor of the
church, and since killed in action in
France. The priest made every eff
fort to locate the owner, but could
not.
The manual was an especially COM
plete one and Father O'Flaherty used
il himself, taking it to France with
him. The priest who was killed by
a high explosive shell, had the book
in ihs hand at the time of his death
1t was picked up by one of his men
who in turn handed it to another
chaplain.
Upon this priests return to hi!

as he knew of the history of The
prayer book to a personal friend OF
the Mitchell priest. The friend ask
ed for the manual, that he Nigh
send it to Miss Mary O'Flaherty, {
cousin of the dead priest.
Shortly after receiving the bool
Miss O'Flaherty received a letter
from Father O'Flaherty's parents il
Ireland, asking that some keepsake
of the dead priest be sent to them
About the same time Miss O'Fla
herty noticed in local paper an item
regarding Mrs. Katherine Wahl. Mis-
O'Flaherty Immediately communi
Gated with her and she claimed th'
prayer book. Miss O'Flaherty tolS
her of the books adventures and thu
request of the priests father. Mrs
Wahl readily consented that the man
ual should be sent to the eide
O'Flaherty in Ireland.

lowing the habits Of the beaver, indi-
Gates dry year.
The building of the dam has over
flowed a section of an automobile
highway passing near the beaver col
ony, and automobiles have difficulty
in making their way along the road
for distance.
For a number of years several fam
lilies of beaver have made their home
in the canyon, and as they are pro-
tected by state laws and cannot be
killed, they have thrived, multiplied
and become eXceedingl ybold. The
beaver colony is one of the attrac-
tions of the canyon section for the
summer sojourner and tourists, and
the work of the little animals is q
never ending source of interest.

Some very fancy porkers COM

Hampshire Hogs
Bring Good Returns

Iroquois, Oct. 2.-R. L. Crippen, a
prominent farmer near Iroquois, sold
his herd of 81 Hampshire hogs for
an average of $40 each, the herd boar
bringing $3.50. This is considered
remarkable in view of the fact that
Mr.. Crippen started the herd only
last year, and most of the hogs were
spring pigs. The hogs were kept on
a two-acre lot, proving that it is not
necessary to have a section farm to
make money in South Dakota.

Silk Thieves i'm
Close Quarters

Ortley, Oct. 2.-Thieves broke into
the Whitefoot store here late at night
and gathered together about $500
worth of silks, bolt cloth, mackinaws
and coats, when James Carr, night
watchman, noticed the broken win
dows in the store and investigated.
An automobile nearby with an llli-
nois license number, had one man in
it when the officer approached, and
claimed he had been stopped by tire
trouble. AS the thieves could not be
found, and none of the stolen goods
had been placed in the car, the
stranger was permitted to depart.
