Fire Bug Is
Considered Insane

Canton, March John Steens-
land, wealthy farmer of Lincoln
county, was convicted on charge of
drunkenness and arson in the fourth
degree. 1t is thought probable that
he will be tried for insanity within
the next few days.
The arson charge grew out of an
alleged attemtp to burn the home of
neighbor farmer several days ago.
1t appears that Steensland entered
the home of the neighbor and order
ed him to leave the premises. The
farmer refused, and later Steensland
made his way to second-story room
and set fire to the bed clothing. The
occupant of the house succeeded, aft
er considerable effort, in saving the
greater part of his household goods
The house was badly damaged by the
flames. 1t is said this is the third
attempt made by Steensland to burn
this dwelling.

FARMER OEVOURED
BY HIS HO GS
DISCOVER BODY In SWINE YARD
EATEN TO BONE.

Mitchell, March 7.-P. A. Ring,
OF Minneapolis, who has been oper-
ating hog farm near Mitchell, was
killed and eaten by drove of hogs.
Ring left the house shortly after s
O'Clock to attend to his stock, and
failed to return.
Shortly before midnight his
brotherinlaw, F. l.. Ryan, who had
been in Mt. Vernon, returned to the
farm. Mrs. Ring told him of her
husbands absence. Calling a neigh
Dor, Ryan started a search for Ring.
More than an hour elapsed before
the men looked in the hog pen.
There Rings remains were found.
His clothing had been torn from his
body. His flesh was entirely strip
ped from the bones. How the far
mer got into the pen and fell prey
to the hogs probably never will be
known.
1t is thought, however. that Ring,
who was 55 years old, may have suf-
fered an attack of heart trouble and
fallen faiting among the hogs who
pounced upon him and
devoured him.

WHERE THEY WILL
ATTEND CHURCH
HARDING FIRST PRESIDENT OF
THE BAPTIST FAITH.

Washington, March THE TWEEN
ty-ninth president is the first of
Baptist faith.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harding have not
yet made known which church they
will attend, but il may be that the
First Baptist, at Sixteenth and o
streets, Northwest, will number
them among it's congregation. The
Rev. Henry Allen Tupper is the pas
tor of this church, which is one of
the Oldest in Washington, having
been founded 119 years ago.
Of the nearly 400 churches in the
capital, only nine can count presi-
dents as once members of their con-
gregation. So many chief executives
have attended st. Johns Episcopal
church, at Sixteenth and H. streets,
across Lafayette square from the
white house, that it is known as
THE church Of the presidents" II
was built in 1916 when Washington
was arising out of the ashes after
its burning by the British in 1912.
Several chief executives, includ-
ing Lincoln, attended the New York
avenue Presbyterian church, a red
brick structure which stands at the
intersection of New York. avenue
and II Street, only few blocks from
the white house. Lincoun was said
to have attended many mid-week
prayer services at this church un-
known to the congregation. He
would walk down to the church, en-
ter little room next to the assem-
bly, room by way of the alley door,
and there in the dark, with the
door open just a crack, would sill
emily remain through the service.
w a S h n g o n worshipped at
Christ's church in Alexandria, which
still stands as shrine for the WIS.,
itor in search of memories Of the
Father of His Country. Jefferson
and John Adams attended Old st.
Johns church in Georgetown.
The church where President Taft,
the only chief executive Of the Uni
tartan faith, worshipped at Four
teenth and L. streets, has been raz-
ed to make way for a commercial
building. President Wilson attend
ed the Central Presbyterian church
at Fifteenth and Irving streets,
Northwest. The little Dutch Re-
formed church was the one most
frequently attended by President
Roosevelt.
President Mckinley was a men,
ber of the congregation of the Me-
tropolitan Methodist church as was
President Grant. President Cleve-
land attended the First Presbyterian
church, while President Garfield
worshipped in the Christian church,

cence of the green bug talk and its
threatening destructive invasion was
much in evidence i'm reports by wire
received by the Sioux City grain ex-
change from various terminals.
Tenor of the messages savors more
of reality than market fabrication.
This green bug which has been
banded about in the market places
is to have companion in its cam

described as one of the most form

structive outbreaks of this pest in
other parts of the country unless
damp weather checks their breed

Another destructive agency has
sian fly, but a Chicago wire to the
exchange quotes the Price Current
as asserting that damage by this in
sect is not greater than is usually to
be found at this season of the year.
Insect activity is noted in numer-
Gus sections of the winter wheat
belt, but little actual damage is re-
ported, says message from the

Count, crop authority. who has
finished trip of inspection from
Bradley: S. D., through Nebraska to
Illinois, reports in a telegram to the
Sioux City exchange that the green
bug is the only menace to wheat,
and that the damage it creates will
be confined to territory in north
central Texas and possibly southern
Oklahoma, where the acreage is
light. This telegram stated further:
Il have never seen so much corn in
all the years 1 have been on the
road. Buildings on the farms are
completely full in Iowa, Nebraska
and South Dakota"
The wheat market is shaping it
self for long expected advance,
says statement of Rosenbaum,
Chicago crop expert, that appeared
in a telegram to the exchange yes
terday. 1t is asserted that the per-
manent trend is upward and that
advances will be greater than de-

lowing counter proposals: Agree

the acceptance of IL per cent tax on

HOME BUILDING
BILL THROUGH
STATE LEGISLATURE ADJOUI Ms
LEAVING RECORD OF 400
BILLS PASSED OF 7fS IN
TRODUCED.

Pierre, March AFTER putting
into law more than 400 of the us
bills introduced, the 18th legisla-
tive assembly adjourned. Refusal
on the part of the house to appoint
another conference committee 10
settle differences between the two
bodies over the appointment bill,
which brought death to the bill and
leaves the present law in force, was
:he last action of the legislature.
Home building was finally put
over the top by ex-service men even
after it had been originally killed in
the senate. The original bill had
passed both houses but an effort
was made to kill the appropriation
$25,OOO to carry on the work of or
ganization. The bill was killed but
was resurrected yesterday and after
being mended to provide only $15,-
600 was passed. Senator Wagner,
only democrat in the senate proved
his worth when he changed his vote
from no to aye and allowed the bill
to pass. Without his vote the ap-
preparation would have been killed
and the entire home building pro-
gram made imperative.
The house decided the livestock
fight in favor of the present board.
A fight by independent stockmen
and attorneys against the livestock
sanitary board as it now exists has
been on all through the session. The
house spent most of its last day
discussing it, and then 58 members
voted against a bill to oust this
board and create a new board in its
place. The new bill had 26 friends.
The attorney general issued an
opinion Friday afternoon that he
would not advise the auditor to pay
$500 month expense money the Leg
islators had voted themselves early
this month without an opinion by
the supreme court. He did not
think it an emergency he said, and
believed that if the money could be
paid at all it should not be until
appropriations not emergencies be-
cause effective. Attorney General
Payne also said there was consider
able doubt in his mind as to the con-
stitutionality of any expenses ac-
count for state officers. Without
taking up the constitutional ques-
tion the house amended a defunct
bill to provide that they should get
their money, declaring an emerg-
ency. and this bill was passed. Bills
have been passed in the legislature
providing for meeting the $I,700,-
600 federal aid fund for highways
in the coming years.
Revamping of the municipal pro-
cedure in all the cities of the state
will be necessary before the end Of
the present calendar year, under
bills which have passed both bodies
of the legislature. They are based
on a change in the municipal fiscal

viding that hereafter. such years
