an Gil stove exploded in the room in
which they were sleeping.
Just why an oil stove should be
burning in the room after the little
ones had been put to bed IS hard 10
understand. Intelligent people when
they put their children to bed shut
off tho heat and open the window,
especially where there is more than
enc child in the room. In this case
there were -four children sleeping in
the single room that was none too
large for one to occupy. The oil
stove, apparently, was left burning
to keep the room warm after the
children were asleep. This would
indicate that all the windows were
down and the room was closed tight
In order to help keep the heat in.
Can anyone imagine anything more
unhealthful? No wonder tuberculo-
sis Keeps on increasing.
Tho lesson at least not to have an
Oil stove burning in a room where
anyone is asleep ought to be brought
home forcibly enough by this horri-
BILE affair. II through this catastrophe
people who are SO afraid of a little
cold could learn to not only turn off
the heat but to open a window to let
in the fresh air, even if it is cold,
perhaps many lives may be saved IN
the future.

The Oldest Printing
Press In Northwest

Inc lOCatIOn OF the HIST pruning
press In the Northwest is being dis
puted by two states, Minnesota and
South Dakota, says a dispatch to the
Minneapolis Journal.
The historic printing press, an old
Washington h~and-press, which, it Is
claimed, printed the first newspaper in
the Northwest, Is now in the hands of
the Minnesota Historical society. The
Minnesota contention as to the history
Of the press is substantially as fol-
lows:
Its active career began back in 1885,
when John King of Dubuque pur-
chased 1t in Cincinnati. He arrived in
Dubuque with the new press on May
1, 1896. after a tedious trip on a river
steamboat. The first issue of this pa
per, the Dubuque Visitor. appeared on
May IL. 1t is said that the Visitor was
the only paper north Of St. Louis and
west OF the Mississippi river at that
time.
"The press, in 1913, for some eason
or other, was sold to three representa-
tlves of a stock concern, j. Allen Bar
Der, Daniel Benfll and Nelson Derby,
who latter was to become Wisconsin's
first governor. These men took the
press across the river to Lancaster,
Wis, to print the Grant County Her
aid, of which L. o. Schrader was the
first editor.
'"The Herald passed finally into the
hands of James NJ. Goodhue, a lawyer
by profession and a fighting editor of
the old school. Goodhue in the spring
of 1919 shipped his press up the river
to st. Paul, Mimi, where he founded
the Pioneer, which years afterward be-
came the Pioneer Press.
"In 1855 the press passed into the
hands OF jeremiah Russell, who took 1t
to Sank Rapids to use In printing an
other pioneer venture, the Frontiers
man. After that it changed hands fire.
Quently. 1t printed among other pub
LEGATIONS the Sank Valley Press con-
Quoted by Herman Muhlenberg, state
adtutant general. The material of this
publication was later sold to the Lind
strom Citizen, Il Swedish newspaper.
Shortly after this old press found its
last home 10 the state museum in st.
Paul.
"Gov. Samuel J. Albright, associate
editor Of the st. Paul paper purchased
the press in 1858. carried 1t 400 miles
across the prairies to Sioux Falls, Da-
kota Territory, where, July 3, 1859, he
established and printed the Dakota
Democrat.
During the Indian hostllities Of
1862, Sioux Falls was abandoned and
the Indians took possession of the
place. They found the old press and
| broke it to pieces. The settlers found
the fragments but could not put it to-
| gether again. Senator r. F. Pettlgrew
| of Sioux Falls is understood to have
secured the plate and made from 1t a
doorstep.
'The South Dakota story has been
| verified satisfactorily so far as the
South Dakota department Is con-
cerned, by Governor Albright, who
wrote In regard to 1t that st was so
stated. so understood and, I believe. so
published upon it's removal to Dakota
"But, on the other hand, In the Min
| nesota museum stands a press which
Is claimed to be the one in dispute.
,, This one Is simply constructed and
from its appearance might have print
ed every pioneer newspaper in the
| Northwest. Whatever the true story
of the identity of the press may be. 1t
is well worth contention"

FLORENCE. Jan. 15.-S. X Huber
yesterday accepted the proposition
made by the members of the board of
School District No 2 some time ago
for the purchase of his frame house
and two lots on the proposed site of
the new High School for considera-
tion of $4,000 This matter has been
been held up for some time pending
consummation OF this deal. The board
has closed a deal for the purchase of
thirty lots for the new school build
ing from the Gumaer Estate company
on what is known as the Gumaer ten
mis- court site for consideration of
$4,000. This also includes the old f.
and C. C. right of way. With the clos
ing of the Huber deal the school
board acquires the Huber house which
it will offer for sale with the under
standing that the same be moved off

are passed upon by the members of
the board they will be in position
to proceed with contracts for the ex-
cavation for the new school and work

er permits.

Stock Show Notes

The horse show promises to be the
greatest ever held in Denver. and in
fact. one of the greatest ever held
west of the Missouri river. In addi-
tion 10 the old exhibitors. there will
be quite number of new ones, and
very few of the old horses will be
there this year. One Of the features
OF the show will be strong exhibit
ton of ponies, including Hackneys,
Welch and Shetland ponies.
There will be nearly 400 Herefords
on exhibition in the individual classes,
including the prize winning herds from
all the big shows in the country. The
Shorthorn exhibition is very nearly as
straight as the Herefords in numbers
and fully equal to 1t in quality.
Notwithstanding the tremendous
increase in expenses, due to the ad-
vanced cost of everything. the admis-
sion to the show this year will con-
tinue TO be so cents, as heretofore.
Reserved seats at the horse show can
be had AT so cents, 75 cents and 81.
Matinees will be held on Thursday.
Friday and Saturday afternoons,
Gov Frank o. Louden of Illinois
has promised to visit the stock show
during the week. Gov. Louden is one
of the big stockmen of the country
and has made a wonderful reputation
as governor during the past two years.
He will probably be the guest OF the
show association on Thursday and
Friday of show week The fact that
he is being actively pushed for the
nomination OF president OF the United
States makes him a personality of
more than usual interest.
Two six-horse teams made up OF
shetland ponies will be one Of the
features at the horse show These
teams are equipped exactly similar 10
the teams of big Percheron horses
that have heretofore been seen at the
show They will attract much inter
est from.grown-ups as well as the lit
tie ones.
The swine exhibit in the breeding
classes will contain about 600 Of the
finest hoges to be found in the coun
try. representing the Duroc-Jersey.
Poland China and Hampshire breeds
There are lis loads Of feedr cattle
entered and these will contain some
OF the choicest feeder cattle to be
carloads there will be IS carloads OF
bulls. all registered. and 10 carloads
of registered heifers. No other show
in the world can make such a show
ing.
