The executive committee of the Inter-State Grain Palace association met in Aberdeen on the evening of the 14th inst. And ordered work to be commenced on the building at once. A long time lease was made on the five lots selected for the building. Architect E. W. VanMeter was employed to supervise the erection of the building, and it was expected to have it completed by the 1st of August. A committee was appointed to contract with the Sioux City military bank for their services for one week of the exposition. Information was received from fifteen counties that are already preparing exhibits, besides a large number of applications for space from parties in the twin Dakotas and elsewhere. The Knights Templars, the Shriners and the . A. O. U. W. have each asked that special days be accorded to them, and the executive committee has designated September 14, as Knights Templar day; Friday, September 15, as Shriners day; Friday, September 22, as A. O. U. W. day. Numerous other attractions of a like nature are now under consideration and will be announced in due time. The certainty that Brown county will have a good, fair crop, and that nearly all other counties most directly interested in the palace as well as the Twin States at large, will have beautiful yields of all farm products, assures this inter-state exposition unbounded success.

THE ABERDEEN GRAIN PALACE
A large number of the influential citizens of the North half of South Dakota and the South half of North Dakota early last spring conceived the idea of showing to the world the excellent cereals raised in that section of the twin states, and after several consultations decided that the most feasible plan to call the attention of the multitudes to the two Dakotas was to build a Grain Palace, where could be shown wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye, potatoes, flax, in fact everything in the line of farm productions that is raised in such perfection in the localities named. Aberdeen was selected as the headquarters of the Grain Palace, and the officers and committees went to work to raise the money needed and to perfect plans, etc. Sufficient money was readily procured, and plans and specifications advertised for, and now we are enabled to present our readers a picture of the Grain Palace as it will appear when completed. It will be a beautiful building, built permanent and substantial, and when adorned by the products of the farm, the dairy and the nursery, will stand without a rival in the west. This Palace will attract the attention of thousands upon thousands of people to the Dakotas, and what the corn palace has been to Iowa, the corn palace to Mitchell, the Ice palace to Minnesota, in a still greater measure will the Grain Palace be to the twin Dakotas. Every county in the two Dakotas should send in exhibits, so that a few counties in the immediate vicinity of Aberdeen may not reap all the benefits. Let there be united and systematic effort by each community to reap all the benefits possible from the Inter-State Grain Palace.

Aberdeen News, Jan. 17 - A sad case of exposure and freezing occurred about three miles west of Frederick during the great storm of Thursday and the following night. Mr. McLaren left his home with an ox team attached to a stone boat about 3 o'clock for a school hour situated a quarter of a mile southward, for the purpose of bringing home his two children, Katie, aged 7 years, and Willie, aged 5; also a boy named Eli Husted, 18 years old, and the school teacher, a young lady named Nettie Reeves, who also boarded with the McLaren family. As the wind was in the man's back on his way to the school house, he arrived there safely, and started with his load of human freight for home. The oxen bore off the course, and for eighteen hours five human beings battled against the storm until about 9 o'clock Friday morning they reached a neighbor's shanty for shelter. The young lady wore a buffalo coat and placing the two young childre in her lap managed to keep the unharmed by sitting with them in that position during that fearful storm while McLaren kept a continued walk around the stone boat urging the children to keep awake. The boy, Eli Husted, is badly frozen in both feet, and will probably lose them. Miss Reeve's left foot is in a bad state and it is not impossible that the toes will need to be amputated, although it is hoped to save them. Mr. McLaren's face and one arm were badly frozen and his valuable yoke of oxen frozen so badly as to be rendered useless. Miss Reeves' parents reside here in town and knew nothing of the suffering of their daughter until last evening when they went to bring her home from her school as was their want to do every Saturday. Altogether, the heroic fortitude and suffering of Miss Reeves and the almost incredable endurance of Mr. McLaren, in their efforts to save the children and themselves, furnish a tale never to be forgotten by them or their friends.

Bath-Jan. 17 -- Special to the Aberdeen News: At 11:25 o'clock last evening a fire broke out in J. B. Carpenter's store. It had gained considerable headway when discovered, and no one knows how it orginated. The flames were soon communicated to the building adjoining, which was occupied by W. J. Huey as a drug store. The citizens turned out at once, and it was through their efforts that the fire was prevented to frestroying the entire business portion of the town. J. B. Carpenter's store was a story and a half high, and contained a stock of merchandise valued at $10,000. The building was worth $2,000. Immediately black of the store was a warehouse filled with goods. An effort is being made to save this building. The drug store and contents were valued at $1,500. Part of the stock was saved. The building was owned by Carpenter, and the stock by J. W. Huey.

3 a.m. Carpenter places his loss on stock and buildings at $13,000 with about $5,000 insurance. The rooms over the drug store were occupied by Mr. Huey, who saved most of his household goods as well as a part of his drug stock.
