Shonts, president, Edwin H. Ha'wley, chairman of the board of directors, and W. G. Board, general manager, visited Aberdeen in a special train on Friday. The officials were en a general inspection tour of the system, but in addition they came to decide upon the practicability of at once beginning work on the construc tion of the road's contemplated line from Aberdeen to Pierre, over the old "Pierre grade," built by the Pierre capital boomers twenty years ago and offered to the road which would asree to iron it and run trains over it. The St. Louis accepted the offer last year, and this year secured an extension of time to October 1. Late in September tt was announced that the contiact had been let for ironing the grade to Winston brothers and that work would be commenced at once. Gener al Manager Beard blasted all such hopes on Friday, however, when he stated that owing to the lateness of the season it would be impossible to secure contractors who would agree to push the work, and that tbe company therefore, would wait until spring be fore beginning construction work. The announcement is a great disappo nt ment not only to Aberdeen and Pierre, but to a number of intervening towns which had been counting on more dir rect connection by rail with the metropolis of the northern part of the state or with the state capital. Mr. Beard implied, however, that the road would build the extension as soon as spring opens. Lead—For the second time with in two weeks a fatal automobile accident occurred in this section, whe na machine driven by Dr. Walter L. Vercoe ran down and mortally in jured 9-year-old George Trehway cm Main street here this afternoon. Tha boy started to cross the street and did not see the car until too late. He was a dozen yards and bis skull fished. He is not expected to live the night through. Rapid City—According to G. 8. Donohoe, a coal dealer wlio has just returned from Sheridan and other coal regions In Wyoming, there Is even* prospcct of a coai famine for the Black Hills and other sections in this part of the country this winter. Mr. Donohoe declares that the railroads are unable to furn'sh sufficient cars to supply the demand and that conse quently the price of coal is sea In*r and agents everywhere are being ld that tliey will have to wait their turn to be supplied. With the pres ent good weather this lack of supply Is not felt, but a cold snap coming sa would work a hardship. GRAIN RATE HEARING nter-State Commerce Commission Investigate Rates Aberdeen—Represented at ths In terstate Commerce grain rate hear ing at Aberdeen, are the South Dakota railway commission, the South Dakota Millers' association, the state of North Dakota, the Su perior (Wis.) board of trade and Com mercial club, the Minneapolis Traffic association, and the Duluth, (Minn.) Commercial club. All the railroads entering the state are also repiesant ed by their attorneys and their gen eral fre'ght agents. A number Jf commercial clus of South Dakota sent representatives, who deslved to have the present freight rates investi gated, as well as the proposed increase in grain rates, effective November 1, but C. R. Hillyer, who is conducting the hearing on behalf of the interstate commerce commission, decided this was not the proper time or place to go into that matter, and the request was refused. In taking up the in vestigation proper, the defendant railroads declared the roads entering South Dakota were not receiving the proportionate share of interest and dividends on their investments In this state, by a quarter million dollars a year, and contended the proposed ra'se in grain rates was nervosaty to bring the income from South Dakota business up to that received from oth er states on the same amount of capi tal invested. They contend the in crease in wages and the increased cost of materials used in arilroad construc tion make it necessary to raise rate3 to keep the income above the expense of conducting .and maintaining the railroads. The hearing promises to be quite extended, and in ordei to expedite matters as much as possible, night hearings will be held. FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY Conference at Mitchell Marks Half Century of Methodism in State Mitchell—The convening of the con ference in this city will mark the fiftieth anniversary of the coming of the first Methodist itinerant into the then territory of Dakota, which was brought about through the ap pointment of Rev. Stephen W. Ing ham by the Upper Iowa conference. Ingham was a young circuit rider, and began his work in October, 1860, preaching his first sermon at Vermil lion, Sunday, Octobetr IV Three months later the first religious organ ization of any kind, in the lower half of the territory at least, was organ ized and at that time the preceding elder of the Sioux City iistrict held the first quarterly conference. Dur ing his two years' pastorate Mr. Ing ham traveled from Elk Point to Fort Randall and also to Sioux Falls, and visited the pioneers then there. He was succeeded in 1870 by Rev. Jason L. Paine, a superannuated preacher from the Upper Iowa conference. The Mitchell meeting will be made prominent from the fact that two b'shops will be present—Bishop Nuel sen, representing the German denomi nation of the church, and Bishop Old ham, the missionary bishop from Singapore. Bishop Nuelsen will be the presiding officer and Bishop Old ham wi1^ take part in the missionary features of the conference. There will be two or three import ant questions up before the confer ence and before the laymens' conven tion, prominent among which will be an effort made to locate the $250,000 hospital which the church has deed ed upon building Three towns are candidates for the hospital's location LAND MARK AN ASH PILE Willowdale, Abandoned Resort Near Sioux Falls, is Destroyed Sioux Falls—Willowdale, famons over South Dakota as one of the earlier day resorts, situated on the Siouv river, about two mites west of the city, was destroyed by fire during last evening. The city fire depart ment was notified by telephone that a building was burning, about two blocks west of the Lowell school and a quick run was made to that local ity. When the brow of the west hill was reached Chief Arendt discovered the fire a mile or more west and with one chemical engine, the journey across the turnpike, which is a very poor road, even in broad day, was made, with the horses doing their best. Arrived at the scene of the fire it was found that the building was too nearly destroyed to warrant any ef fort to save it, though the few up right timbers which remained and were on fire, were subjected to a suf ficient treatment from the chemical to put out the flame. The building was owned by Louis Seubert and was last occupied by a regular tenant some years ago. It was erected in the administra tion of Mayor Willey about twenty five years since and for years was the residence of Madam Doyle. Later a man named Crawford con ducted it and when the people of that part of the county objected to the city having its undesirable population lo cated in the rural districts, the state closed the resort. Aberdeen—J. W. Parmley, state highway commissioner, who i3 at the head of the good roads con vention to be held in Aberdeen the last of etober, states that from let ters received by him from diffeient parts of the state, he expects at least 1000 delegates to be present at tne convention. A very strong and inter esting program is being prepared. Bi'ookings—The Minnesota & Da kota Farmer, published here since its establishment several years ago, has been sold to Herbert MyricV, representing the Orange Judd ccm pany at Chicago. The considera tion is given as $40,000. Mr. Myri will move the paper to Mlnne apolis. Professor C. Willis, agronom ist at the state agricultural collc-ge at Brookings, will go to Minneapolis hi editor of the publication. The Farmer was establ slied in January, 1907, the Register Publishing company c-' Brookings, and has built up a *jj circulation. AIRSHIP CREW SAFEl WELLMAN AND COMPANIONS PICKED UP OFF NORTH CARO LINA COAST. SHIP TRENT RESCUES THEM Aftkr Hour* of Maneuvering Amer ica's Crew Are Hauled Aboard Steamer—Balloon Is Lost—Blown Far Oul of Its Course. New York, Oct. 20.—Walter Well man, who with his crew of five men, sailed from Atlantic City, N. J., for Europe in the immense dirigible bal loon "America" on Saturday, October 15, got back to this city on the Royal Mail steam packet line steamer Trent which vesSel picked the daring navi gators up from the wreck of their air ship 375 miles off the North Carolina coast. Barring a few injuries to his ~!ght arm Wellman is in good shape, as is also the other men who accompa nied him. Mr. Wellman has reached the con clusion that in the present develop ment of the dirigible the task he un dertook is a hopeless one. News of the rescue came in two wireless messages from Capt Down of the Trent, one reporting to the company agents here and another In forming the New York Times of the result of the expedition in which it had taken a leading part. Both wire less messages practically told the same story. Sees Slpnal of Distress. Captain Down reported that at five o'clock Tuesday morning he first sighted the airship. Signals of dis tress and calls for help were given. For three hours the Trent maneuvered in the heavy sea to get alongside of Wellman and his wrecked-companions. The entire party finally was taken aboard, even to the cat, which was taken along as a mascot. The Amer ica was abandoned where the rescue occurred, in latitudo 35.43, longitude 68.18. Thrilling Story by Wireless. The following story of the rescue of Wellman and his crew was sent from the steamer Trent: In abandoning their craft the crew of the airship America lowered them selves into the lifeboat which swung beneath it. Then they cast the life boat off and were afloat on the sea. The airship, relieved of the weight of the lifeboat, shot high into the air and was blown away rapidly. The transfer of the Wellman party from the lifeboat to the Trent was made with great difficulty. At 4:30 a. m. the Trent sighted the airship America and wireless com munication was established immedi ately. Irwin, the operator on the air ship, informed Glnsburg, operator on the Trent, that the America's crew wished to abandon the balloon. Wire less communication was kept up from this time on between the airship and the steamer. Hard to Launch the Boat. After a council held on the airship It was decided that the best means of rescue was to launch the lifeboat. But this was such a hazardous under taking that much time elapsed before the maneuvering was executed, as he tail of the airship, consisting of tanks of gasoline and wooden blocks, threat ened to capsize the boat as it was dropped from the balloon into the water. This danger was overcome at last and the task was carried out. In the operation the trailer struck Wireless Operator Jack Irwin and Louis Loud, the engineer, and knocked a small hole in the side of the lifeboat Immediately on being- released of the weight of the crew and boat, the airship shot skyward as the boat shot downward. A moderate sea was run ning at the time, and after slight dif ficulty the crew was taken on board with the lifeboat at 7:30 a. m. All members of the crew an well after a thrilling experience. Wellman said that the airship had been blown far out of its course, so that it was inadvisable to proceed.

THEYwelcome permitted 1m Gay Winter Blossoms are enough to almost make us the coming winter, those gay velvet blossoms that maids and matrons are wearing on their new millinery. Big, flat poppies, giant wild roses, the clematis and poinsettiaB and some blossoms that must have sprung from the brain of the flower-maker, are blooming in rich, bright colors, that will show brighter still against a background of snow. Besides these, there are the little roses made of silk and metal tissues that are the quaintest and prettiest things the cunning of artists have done. The bright green foliage is made of satin. The tightly folded blossoms and buds are set in prim groups about crowns or in single clus ters at some point on the hat. They are used on all kinds of hats, but seem at their best on those of fur. One of the handsomest turbans has a drooping brim of sealskin, a tall scant puffed crown of silver tissue and BLACK AND WHITE COSTUME Models of 8ome of the Best idtu That Have Developed Dur ing the 8eason. For this costume black and whlta material is employed. The skirt J* one of those that are not more than 2% yards round foot. The panel front is of black taffetas, continued in a deep band at foot the edge is just finished by a row of ma- mm srBTwa chine stitching. The smart little semi fitting jacket has no collar, but the neck and edges of fronts are outlined by a band of taffetas. Two jet but tons with cord loops form the fasten ing. Bands of silk also finish tho wrists of the sleeves. White chip hat, trimmed with black ribbon, white wings, and a white lace veil. Materials required for the costume: 5 yards 44 Inches checked material, 2 yards double width taffetas, 4 yards silk 22 Inches wide for lining jacket, 2 buttons. Dancing Frocks. Dancing frocks for the smart girl are of chiffon, plain or embroidered net, marquisette or some other soft, sheer fabric. All of these are made over linings of satin, mescaline or silk. Nearly all silk frocks «M veil ed to soften the effect small bouquets of these silk and tin sel blossoms set about the hat at the joining of the crown and brim. They are as vivid and rich as jewels. Milliners use satin or ribbon, panne velvet and gold or silver cloth to make them. A sudden fancy for them has sprung up and everywhere, on fine hats, they delight the admirer of real millinery art. They are ex pensive because they take time, and not because they consume much ma terial. That used, however, Is of the best grade in order to get best results in color. A hat covered with white satin draped with black chiffon Is shown here. Poppies of velvet In white and bright red are set about half the brim and against the crown at the left side. A bow of wide velvet ribbon Is perched at the right side. This is.a very handsome model and might be attempted with every chance of suc cess, by the home milliner. JULIA BOTTOMLSY. TO MAKE MILLINERS' FOLD The Cutting of the Material la tho Only Thing to Be Kept In Mind. To make a milliner's or French fold, cut the material three times the width that the fold is to be when It is fin ished. Then fold a third of this width back on the wrong side, and fold down over this raw edge the remain ing part. Turn in the raw edge be fore doing this. Finally, slipstltch this edge to the thickness underneath, being careful not to let the stitches go all the way through. To make a double fold of this sort, cut the material, again, three times the width of the fold when finished. Made a wide, plain fold, and then fold this through th? center, with the stitches all on the upper edge. Place the upper fold so that it forms a cord or ridge through the center, and slip stltch this so as to hold it firmly in place. Be sure that all your stitches are out of sight. Chic Hat for a Child. Among the new display of fall hats for the little ones was a fine French felt, white, and in the new droopy mushroom shape. The trimming was a soft ribbon passed arouad the crown and held down with trim little rosettes of the ribbon, one over each ear. The left rosette was encircled by a dainty wreath of holly of the variegated kind, the soft creamy white and pale green leaves, with tiny crimson berries. The ties were of soft white ribbon, and altogether it was a most attractive bit of millinery A Workbasket Hint. Keep in your workbasket several large-size safety pins, and use them to string loose buttons, hooks, eyes, Stc. Keep those of the same size on the same pin, black hooks on black pins, white eyes on white pins, etc. Thus you never will have an untidy workbasket, or be delayed by not be ing able to find instantly what you are looking for. Fasten the safety pins to one side of the lining of your basket—and your method of securing neatness will be complete. To 8tarch Linens, in starching linens and similar goods too light for mourning starch and too dark for the white, put in the boiling starch a large piece of tissue paper in shade to match as nearly as possible the dress material. Tils will dissolve, and when the starch is strain ed, nothing but the dye will remain, making a starch of the exact color do sired. This is a good, hint for the woman who does much color embroldtqp tbe stiffly starched variety. HARDY.
