Mexicans Resume
Social Whirl

Mexico City, Aug. S.-The end of
the war has brought a revival in this
city's social life, which throughout
the war reflected the serious mood
that prevailed in the capitals of so
many other governments. The va
rious foreign colonies, which contrib
ute much to society here. have re-
sumed a schedule of balls, recep-
tions and banquets, which for three
years had been neglected for more
serious war work. To show that the
victims Of the war have not been for
gotten an allied masquerade ball is to
be given soon for the benefit of the
Belgian orphans. This promises to
be one of the gala events of the So
cial season.
Marked cordiality is shown by tho
members of the best Mexican society
to the various foreign colonies.

victory buttons by ex-service men
that the supply at the local recruit
ing office was quickly depleted, but
more of them will be secured as
quickly as possible. Bronze buttons
are issued to men who were not
wounded. and silver ones to those
who were. All service men are en-.
titled to them. and merely need tc

RAILROAD STRIKE
AFFECTS SHIPMENTS
LOADED FREIGHT CARS STAND
In THE MADISON RAIL
ROAD YARDS

With about one hundred and forty
cars now standing in the local rail-
road yards, many loaded with val
liable freight shipments, and a dozen
or more locomotives standing dead
on the tracks or in the. roundhouse.
the movement of freight in and out of
this city presents a puZzling prob
lem.
Passenger schedules have mate
rally suffered from the strike, few
trains coming and going on their reg
ular time. Both trains from the west
and north were late in arriving to-
day, the latter not reaching the Mad
ison station for six hours past its
scheduled time. A train was made
up here this morning for the accom-
mediation of passengers for Sioux
Falls, Sioux City and other points
south. People are cutting short Wis
iting trips to feel assured of reach
ing their homes before a possible tie
up of passenger service.
Only three men are now at work At
the local round house, the machinists
and helpers having walked out about
10 o'clock yesterday, leaving engines
that were in need of repairs idle on
the tracks. A freight went east TO
day, but it is uncertain whether any
more will be taken out during the
remaining portion of the day. AS a
result of crippled freight service,
many important shipments are being
greatly delayed in transit. Some
where between here and Sioux Falls
the Dacotah Oil company has 1900
gallon tank of gasoline sidetracked
and left to stay perhaps until the
strike is settled Mr. Buehler, oi
that company, states that the supply
of oil now on hand will last until the
middle of next week.
Mr.. Muggli, of Ramona, wa.
awaiting the arrival of threshins
outfit, and upon inquiry found thai
it was standing on a sidetrack in tht
yards in this city with no prospect u
immediate transit further. Upor
finding this out he proceeded to tht!
place and took his separator overland
and with little trouble since the roads
are in good shape.
Our merchants are being inconve

Prairie Fire i'm
Perkins County

White Butte, Aug. 9.--The first
prairie fire of the season i'm this part
of Perkins county started in this vi
cinity, sparks from the locomotive IF
freight train being responsible. A
very strong wind was blowing at the
time and this caused the fire to travel
very rapidly and spread over the
prairie. The starting of the fire cre-
ated general alarm among the home
steaders and ranchers and scores of
them turned out to fight It. After
hard work they succeeded in extin-
gushing the flames after they had
swept an area about mile long and
"a half mile in width. Fortunately
no dwellings or other buildings were
in the pathway of the fire while Il
was in progress.
