A page boy is believed to have lost
his life when flames swept thru the
Howard Hotel and Sigman's Furni-
ture store, Elkton, Nd, early last
Monday morning and for time
threatened the entire business district
of Elkton. The damage was placed
at $150,OOO.
Sixty guests fled in night clothing
from the hotel as the fire driven by a
high wind, raced quickly through the
structure to the furniture store ad-
joining. The blaze was confined to
the two buildings after aid had been
called from several nearby towns.
The page boy, known only as Bruce,
was asleep in a room directly over the
kitchen, where the fire is believed to
have started. Flames enveloped the
building with such rapidity that little
hope was held that he had escaped
alive. Many guests were forced to
slide down rainspouts to the streets
while others were carried from the
upper stories by firemen. A 60 year
old man, suffering from typhoid fever
clambered down a water spout to
safety.

Sleepless Nights
Often Caused BY Bladder Weakness
It's Natures Signal Of danger
Ahead"

A. C. Eckhart, 3917 st. Clair street
Cleveland, o. says, "After taking
Lithiated Buchu tablets one week, the
burning and smarting left me, and
with no desire to get up nights. You
should get the credit as I had tried
many things. l will be glad to write
my experience to any one. Lithiated
Buchu cleanses the bladder as EPSON
salts do the bowels, driving out de-
posits, neutralizes excess acids, there
by relieving irritation that causes
getting up nights. The tablets cost 2
cents each at all drug stores. Keller

Weeds take tremendous tolls from the
American farmer says the Research
Department of the National Associa-
ton Of Farm Equipment Manufac-
turers. Row crops should be cultivat-
ed frequently to kill the weeds while
young, all small grain and grass seeds
should be put thru the tanning mill to
eliminate dirt weed seeds, foreign
matter like chaff and broken weed
stems, etc. The disk, the peg-tooth
OF spring-tooth harrows, the rotary
hoe, walking, riding, 1-row or Prov
cultivators of surface or shovel types,
are all great weed fighters. Even the
moving machine does is part by NOW
ing weed patches, abandoned hog lots,
road sides etc. just before the seed
forms on the plants.

Rumors that a slim-hulled speedy

Now that the frost is out of the
ground again and the annual "bad
road breaks" are appearing in the
markets, farmers again have the great
lesson of hard roads hammered into
their consciousness says the Research
Department of the National Associa-
ton of Farm Equipment Manufac-
turers. Farmers living on hard
roads, or within reach of hard roads,
are never cut off from their markets
during the 365 days in the year., When
the farmers without hard roads are
tied up by impossible roads, they help
pay the premium that the hard road
farmers get for their hogs, eggs, po-
tatoes, corn, wheat land other prod
ucts. There has always been chad
roads bulge" on the Chicago hog mar
ket every spring for instance, caused
by slowing down of supply when
the spring thaws came to stop farm
ers from hauling hogs to the railway
stations. The farmers on hard roads
now hold off and catch this rise. No
wonder the country is getting sold on
hard roads and more are being built
every year. The pumps, plows, wag-
ons, graders, tractors. concrete mix
ers, gas engines, steam shovells, ETC.,
that are already being modified for a
big road building year will all be pay
ing a path to more farm profits by
bringing markets near the farm and
insuring a year-round market.

The hull of the new Claiborne Fer
ny steamer, while being towed from
Connecticut to Brooklyn was wrecked
in Long Island Sound during a heavy
blow. The hull was being towed to
the Brooklyn yard having the contract
for the engines and housing. A new
twelve inch hawser was parted when
the hull broke away from the tug
boat. The hull was blown upon the
rock shore and is pronounced total
loss.
The Ferry company will look to the
towing company for indemnity, as the
hull was in their charge while being
towed to Brooklyn.
Manager Sherman and Ex- Governor
Harrington went to New York this
week to look for another hull that will
be available, and believe they have a
fine steel hulled boat that can be
used.
| The housing of the new steamer
had already been built in sections ano
was ready to install on the hull, had
it arrived in New York. The second
hull to be bought will be about the
same size of the first one and will
necessitate but little change in the
deck plans anddeck houses.
The wreck has delayed the plans tt
have the new boat on the route by
June LIST land it may be July 1st be-
fore the new steamer can be made
ready. Day and night forces of mer
are to be put to work and every eff
fort made to have the new boat ready
before July 4th.

spells were on. There was no re-
lief for her, and no rest for the
family. We were half distracted.
After a month or SO, we were
nearly az bad off as she was. We
sent her to private sanitarium. II
cost us $40 day. We couldn't
stand that very long, and it was
impossible to take her home again.
We were al worn to'Sa frazzle, ana
our earning capacity was threatened.
When our motey was gone we
had to take hsf from the sant-
tarium. There was no place for
her--no place where she could re-
ceive the care she needed, except
at st. Elizabeth's.
Requirements Of Law
''But to procure admission fox
her. the law required me to go
into open court, before a jury, and
swear that my sister was q person
OF uflsound mind, with hornicidal or
other dangerous tendencies, or that
she was an INDECENT, insane person.
But she was not insane, any more
than a delirious fever-patient is in
sane. And even, If she had been,
she was not of homicidal tendencies
she wouldn't hurt q fly. And
she was not INDECENT.
"Yet, I must falsesly swear that
she was one or the other, or pay
$40 a day for an indefinite period,
which I could not possibly do-my
entire income was less than hall
of that-or I must see the family
disintegrate under the strain.
"And within five miles OF my
home was this $1O,OOO,OOO mstltu-
ton that I was helping to support
with the taxes 1 paid.
at was helping to support the
institution, and yet, when this great
need came / was deprived OF the
benefits I had paid for, while hall
the patients treated there were
from other States of the Union, ana
paid no property taxes for 1t IN
any way.
Perjury Looked Like Virtue
'Under such circumstances, per-
Jury looked almost like a virtue,
but even if I had held no moral
scruples against such a course
would hesitate a long while before
my own sister as
dangerous lunatic. It's asking too
much. But that's the pound OF
flesh that Congress demands from
District Observation-Disclosures $3.50 per
day for each patient paying taxes.
I'm almost inclined to
think that Congress is little un.
fair to the District in some of its
dealings"
Only the vOteIess victims who han
from the District need to he branded

order to receive up-tO-date care for
nervous or mental trouble.

mInders Of the joys the little family
expected to share during the coming
week in the celebration Of two birth
days and Christmas.
Little Blanche and her baby sister
were tucked into bed last night in
their room in the rear of the house.
They had difficulty in getting to
sleep in their excitement over the
coming celebrations.
Mr.. and Mrs. Solomon and Meyer
Rosenblatt. the children's uncle, had
Just completed plans for the. birth
day party tomorrow and retired in
the front of the house.
The father was awakened by the
cat yowIing and scratching his face.
He found the house full of smoke
and the roar. Of flames was very
close.
Ran Out Of House
His first thought was Of the Two
children, but he was blocked by a
wall of flames which filled the
hallway. Frantic in his helpless
ness, he ran out of the house and
around to the rear. but was unable
TO reach the window.
When the firemen arrived, they
rescued Cissie just as the flames
began filling the room around her.
They could not find Blanche.
Later her body was discovered in
the front of the house. Her
strength had lasted just long
enough to enable her to reach her
parents room.
Not finding them there. it ap-
peared, she had collapsed and rolled
under the bed.
