The walls of the old "Stone Fort
a building over the south bridge known
in this community as OF doubtful reput"'
tion," succumb bed TO the flames one even
| ing last week. 1t was not only badly
damaged in character, but as it has been
unoccupied for sometime, there was little
lett 10 burn, save the roof and floors, and
80 they burned and fell, and, like many Of
lis occupants who have gone, no one cares
to know where. there were no regrets when
the old building fell to the ground.

second Methodist church at Waseca
About six years ago Mr.. Cressey had
charge Of the church IN Waseca, and II
was mainly through his efforts that fine

about IS 900. This building was hurned
about year ago, and the dedication mex,
Sunday is of the rebuilt church. The
present pastor Of the Waseea church is
Levi Gilbert who preached at Lansing
several years ago, and is growing man

AS the epizootic is again in the land,
We clip the following from an exchange
on the most sensible manner OF treating
it: Gall stables should be purified by
the removal of all offensive oders or
decaylng manure or vegetable matter,
and such disinfectants as carbolic acid,
ETC., should be profusely and constantly
used until the disease passes by. If
there is an epidemic, horses should be
worked Is little as possible and epecial
care be taken not to heat them by over
work or fast travelling. They should be
provided with warm stabling and warm
blanketing when attacked. Have the
horses in the best health and keep them
from cold, rains, SHOWS or winds. There
are many diffe rent opinions and remedies
for this disease, but warm and healthy
quarters, with little or no work, is about
the best thing"
In accordance with city ordinance,
cattle, horses, sheep or swine, are not
allowed to run at large upon the streets
or public grounds, within the city limits.
II found at large any person IS
privileged to drive them to the pound,
aud receive q quarrer for his trouble and
the owners are to pay the fine. Now,
we think, this is good ordinance, but
we think discretion should be used IN
this matter as we'll as all others. For
instance, boys should not be permitted to
60 to pastures and drive the COWS out.
for the sake "f getting twenty-five cents
of the pouud-master, and We hope the
pouud-master will not encourage any,
thing Of the kind, but try to ascertain the
circumstances Of the takingup before
receiving any creature from these boys
who make business Of driving stock
to the pound.
