Soldiers on Kadish Village
in Siberia.
FIGHT IN DEEP SNOW
Shells Falling On Frozen Ground
Spread Their Zones Of Destruc.
tion Twice as Far az Under
Normal Conditions.

With Allied Army of the Dvina, Jan.
7.-Bolshevik troops. which made an
advance near kadish village. have
been driven back by American forces
after desperate fighting
The Rolshevists also launched at
tacks on the Omega sector and bonn
barded the Allied 'front.' The Ameri-
cans came into battle along the Petr0-
grad road and in the frozen swamps
that border 1t. The battle was fought
in snow from two to four feet in
depth.
American forces captured Kadish
last Monday after display Of gal
lantry that evoked the admiration Of
the Allied commanders.
Wounded Given Special Care.
Special care has been taken of the
American wounded and the body Of
an American officer was taken back
100 miles by sledge and then sent to
Archangel for burial There were
some casualties on Monday. but they
were small in comparison to those in
flicted upon the enemy.
On Tuesday. the Bolshevists opened
terrific fire from three and six-inch
guns and launched counter attack
against the buildings held by Ameri-
cans In. Kadish. So hot was the ar
tillery fire that the Americans with.
drew temporarily from the village.
The line, however, was not moved very
far and the new positions were firmly
held.
Shells DoubIy Destructive.
The enemy did not occupy Kadish
because the barrage fire from the
American, guns made. the place unten-
able. Shells falling on the frozen
ground spread their zones of destruc-
tion twice as far as they would under
normal conditions.
Later, under the protection of artil-
lery IRE. American detachments again
swept forward and reoccupied the
town. The men engaged in the ad-
vance were from infantry and trench
mortar units.
Saturday morning word came from
headquarters that the American posi-
| tions are now about $50 yards south
of the village, which is the line mark
ing the furthest advance made by the
Americans late in October before they
retired to the north of Kadish.
DoIshevIsts Fight eavaeeIy.
Here and there are graves where
are buried Americans who fell in tho
struggle that went on during the first
advance. They are not many in num-
ber but, for the troops involved, they
gave evidence that the Americans
have been In the hardest fighting that
has been going on here. The Bolshe-
visits are fighting more savagely here
than elsewhere to hold their positions.

eLUME.NEPsTAD NUPrIALs

The wedding of Franklyn Leslie
Blume and Miss Inga Adele Nepstad
was solemnized at high noon Satur-
day, Jan. 4, at the home of the
brides parents, Mr. and Mrs. X. A.
Nepstad. A small group of close rel
atives and intimate friends witnessed
the impressive ceremony and partook
of the bounteous wedding breakfast
served directly afterwards at the
home Of the brides sister. Mrs. Clar-
ence Salveson.
The Nepstad home was decorated
appropriately for the occasion in the
national colors. In one corner of the
room where the ceremony was per-
formed was an altar flanked by flags
of the Allies, and backed by a large
United States flag.
At the appointed time the brides
sister, Miss Frances Nepstad, sang
"Dawning." Mr.. Clarence Blume,
brother of the groom, followed with

of this song, to the strains of the
Mendelssohn's Midsummer Nights
Dream" Lieutenant Blume entered
the room, arm in arm with his father.
Rev. G. F. Blume of st. Paul, took his
place before the altar. The familiar
wedding march from "Lohengrin"
was then struck up. and the bride,
unaccompanied. slowly advanced to
the altar and took her place at the
side Of the groom.
The ring ceremony was used, and
was rendered doubly impressive by
the fact that It was performed by the
father Of the groom. After the cere-

Rheumatism Ends Life of Former
President Without Warning at
Early Morning Hour.
PASSES PEACEFULLY
Had Retired Night Before Feeling
Quite WeIEWent Home From
New York Hospital Only
Short Time Ago.

New York, Jan. 7.-Col. Theodore
Roosevelt died at his home in Oyster
Bay at o'clock a. m.
News of the death of the former
president was received here by Miss
Josephine Striker, the colonel's secle-
tary, in a telephone message from
Mrs. Roosevelt. Miss Striker said
that the Colonel had suffered an at
tack of inflammatory rheumatism on
New Years day and had since been
more or less confined to his room.
The attack of rheumatism settled
mainly in Colonel Roosevelt's right
hand and Mrs. Roosevelt sent at once
for a nurse in the village of Oyster
Bay. His condition did not at first
seem to be alarming and the turn

for the worse is believed not to have
come until q few hours before his
death.
Rheumatism Causes Death.
In announcing Colonel Roosevelt's
death Miss Striker said:
"Mrs. Roosevelt called me on the
telephone shortly before o'clock
saying that the Colonel had died early
In the morning. She did not give me
any particulars and am leaving for
Oyster Bay.
'The attack must have been very
sudden. On New Years day inflam.
matory rheumatism developed in Col
onel Roosevelt's right hand, Which
became very much swollen. Mrs.
Roosevelt sent for nurse in the vii.
1age and the Colonel was made as
comfortable as possible. It did not
occur to me at that time that he was
seriously ILL.,"
No indication Of Death.
Miss Striker went to Oyster Bay
last Saturday to pay the Colonel q
visit. She said:
"At that time the Colonel was sleep
ing in his room and did not see him
and there was nothing in the circum.
stances Of his illness at that time to
indicate to me that death was near.
When Mrs. Roosevelt called me and
told me Of the Colonel's death could
hardly believe 1t. Mrs. Roosevelt
gave me no particulars Of his death"
It is understood that only Mrs.
Roosevelt and the nurse were with
him at the time of his death. The 9TH
Or members Of the family are in other
parts Of the country or abroad.
A telephone message received later
from Oyster Bay said that Colonel
Roosevelt had died at o'clock.
Went 70 Bed Feeling Well.
The Colonel went to bed feeling
we'll. His end was peaceful.

Of the United States. having sue
ceeded to the presidency on the death
Of William Mckinley, who was shot

time. In fact he had left Roosevelt

had gone home. s:

as minister and father, the company
present wished the happy couple
about all the Joy in the world, and all
then repaired to the Salveson home
to join in the wedding feast.
The Salveson home was also dec
GRATED in red, white and blue. Place
cards were of a military nature, bear
ing orders of various nature, most of
them very appropriate. Small flags
held up the place cards, and later
served as favors. The four-course
breakfast, from the tomato boullion
to the brides cake, was feast long
to be remembered by those present.
Most of the guests remained until
the afternoon train left for Fargo,
and accompanied the newlyweds to
the depot to see that the honeymoon
was started right, with the customary
rice and other evidences of good
wishes.
The bride was married in her trav-
cling costume, plum colored velvet
suit, with a hand embroidered waist

The groom is also quite we'll known

former superintendent of the Oakes
Schools, Mr. Clarence Blume, now Of

l was very recently commissioned
to assume charge of the Oakes Post
Office. There are several reasons
why l have decided to accept the
position as 'postmistress instead of
the one to which I was elected: the
salary is better, shall be able to
remain at home, and 1 prefer govern
ment work under civil service to
work in an elective Office.

LEAGUE WILL SEIZE
COUNTY JoBs-BoWEN
Nothing to Escape Organization Here
after Says BadIands
Sehoo!master

Nonpartisan league is about to en-
large it's political activities, according
to A. E. Bowen, right hand man of A.
c. Townley. who came here with
Walter Thomas Mills, a socialist
orator, to attend meeting OF Town
ley men and give the quietus to
second meeting of "home rulers"
who are not satisfied with the league
program for South Dakota.
"Heretofore the Nonpartisan league
has not meddled in county politics."
said Mr.. Bowen, "but as now organ.
ized it is proposed to clean out the
courthouse, and two years from now
we expect to elect the president of
the United States. At the meeting in
st. Paul there were 43 delegates pres>
ent from 13 states, and they carefully
considered the interests of all the
states and unanimously adopted the
articles of association now being
promulgated"
Bowen Explains System
Under the plan, said Mr.. Bowen.
each township is to elect their COM
mitteemen, who are to meet in coun-
ty convention and select county
committee which will, at meeting
called for that purpose, select a state
committee of three from each county.
which will in turn meet in state con-
vention and select three committee
men to the national body. The men,
bers of the national organization will
select an executive committee of 13.
which will elect president and gen.
eral manager of its business affairs
There will be one committeeman for
each of the 13 states in which the
league is said to have perfected "tem-
porary legal organizations"
"The organization work." said Mr.
Bowen, twill be under the sole direc-
tion of A. G. Townley. who has been
unanimously reelected as president
and sole manager of the league"
"Home Rulers" Turned Down
Notice had been sent to the Town
ley men to come to Sioux Falls in
force and head off the "home rulers"
This program was carried out. The
"home rulers" were outnumbered and
outvoted. They presented a resolu-
tion demanding that South Dakota
members should have the right to
govern themselves by electing their
own manager, secretary and treasur-
er, who should be bonded, and that
the articles Of the national associ-
alton should be amended to permit
this. A substitute resolution in
dorsing the Townley articles of as
sociation was then offered and adopt.
ed.
1t is said that Walter Thomae
Mills, until recently Townley's CHIEF
propagandist IN North Dakota
where he is supposed to have made
many converts. has been appointed
Townley field representative for
South Dakota and that q continuous
revival campaign will soon be started
In this state.

wheat profiteering.
+ THE public has been persistently
misinformed. There is now no higher

May, or any other date since the
armistice was signed. The farmers
cannot proflteer The farmers are

they are for wheat. nor is there either
a record crop nor a government sub

The farmers Of the country are not
receiving on the average one cent

farms or local markets. President

wheat on the market to depress prices.
