HOME OF JERRY P. RUSH AT J0S
EPII IS DESTROYED.
Residence of Representative Burned
Buit Furniture Is Saved.
Jobeph, Sept. 16 Special Electri
cal disturbances of more than ordi
nary fierceness broke suddenly over
Joseph today at 10:50, leaving the
smouldering ashes of Representative
J. P. Rusk's residence as a mark of
It's passing. The electrical storm was
accompanied by fa heavy shower of
rain which though welcomed by the
farmers, was the cause of ruin and de
struction to the furniture which had
been removed from the Rusk home by
volunteer fire fighters. '
It was but a short time from the
moment the lightning struck the house
until flames were seen leaping up
from the roof of the fashionable dwel
ling. Neighbors prevented a spread of
the blaze to adjoining buildings by
the bucket brigade method. However
as the city water works Is-not com
pleted it was Impossible to save the
building. The furniture was removed
later, almost ruined by the rain.
Mr. and Mrs. Rusk are out of the
i:uy ana iaia mis auernoon naa not ,
been advised of the fire.

, ' Totinsond Found Guilty.
At 5 o'clock this evening the Town
send Jury returned a verdict of guilty.
Jmes J. BCrs Birthday.
Mr. James J. Hill, who Is seventy-
...
two years old today, Is also in accord
with Chief Forester Henry 8. Graves,
the friend and successor of Mr. GIfford
Pinchot. There were several memor
able addresses made at the recent Con
servation Congress held at St Paul,
and Jim Hill's was one of them. He
thinks the whole business of conser
vation should be turned over to the
states. Hill claims that the operations
of the national government are too
slow, cumbrous ' and costly; that the
state governments are nearer to the
objects to be conserved and better un
derstand the interest and desires of the
people. , And that Is where the differ
ence between Mr. Hill and 4 Colonel
Roosevelt begins, or at least onts of
them, for there are several points of
difference between Messrs. Roosevelt
and Hill.' But in one thing, at least,
they are exactly alike. . Each man
reaches a conclusion after calm, cool
deliberation and then he sticks to it
like fun. As Is the case with Roose
velt, the views of Hill do not always
agree with the rest of the world. In
fact, sometimes he finds It hard , to
agree with himself. Every now and
then he pricks some bubble of fancy
with the needle of fact He's a dour,
hard-headed, practical old man, is
"Tim Hell," as the Swedes of the
northwest call him. Wall street does
n't like him very well; he doesn't like
Wall Street. He seems to have a bit
of the best of It for he makes use of
the street now and then, whereas that
heart and a wear, , affirm and- pledge
Its sacred honor that it never made use
of Jim Hill. Hill holds that the chief
business of Wall Street is gambling
Gambling, he says, is a highly per
nicious trick unless you can frame it
up so the other man loses. His real
business is (he development of a wide
domain, and even Wall Street agrees
that Hill has taken about thirty-three
degrees In it. Hill Is going strong at
seventy-two. He didn't get Into the
railroad business until he was forty
years old. Born in Guolph, Ontario,
In 1833, he has been a farm-boy, cftun
ter-jumper, mud clerk on a line of
Mississippi boats and baggage man by
turns. Because he made good he had
been given the agency for that boat
line In St. Paul, at a time when St.
Paul's only unknown dimension was
that of depth. By and by he branched
out for himself, and whipped the Hud
son Bay Company which for grip and
avarice has the Standard Oil Company
acting like a charity school Into di
viding the Red River traffic with him.
And then he got hold of two streaks
or rust and a right of way there are
various stories as to how he got It
and woke up a millionaire. Since then
he has devoted himself to building up
that northwest. He brought in emi
grants and staked them and trained
them. Because 'his traffic was east
bound, he built a line of steamers to
Japan after he got his road to tha
coast and hauled wheat west. Where
wheat would not grow Hill planted
little. And he never used any gentle
means. The man that got In his road
was run over or shoved aside." What
he wanted he took and what he took
he held. Short, thick-necked, eyes as
black as shoe strong and fierce as
a gamecock's, broad-shouldered, deep
chested, he is a fighting man all
through. He has been selfish, arro
gant, imperious, Indomitable, feroc
ious but he has -also been an empire
builder. His enemies, placed edge on
edge, would like the Great Northern
roa(j from Bea to sea.
Back of them
would be massed men who have Buc-j
ceedea because Jim um cieareu me
way. ilia conversation is as pictur
esque as a fire In the packinghouse
district? and as highly flavored. His
methods are as direct as manslaughter.
I: was Hill who Revised the modern
methods of running railroads and
Hill Is about the only one who could
keep those methods running on time.
He has no patience with weakness or
Inaccuracy or tardiness or sloth. Also
he has no patleuce with anything else
under the brlght'sky except Jim Hill.
