During the night Of August 2Sth, the
house OF L. NJ. Depuy, situated on north
west quarter of section 90, township &c, was
burned. The origin of the FIRE Is shrouded
in mystery. Mr. Depuy has been absent
from the country for over two years, and his
whereabouts has been entirely unknown to
tn community to the best of our knowl-
edge About seven weeks past Ssmuels d
Co., formerly merchants OF this town, but
now OF Great Bend, brought an attachment
suit against Depuy, attaching the above men
toned house. Judgment being entered in
favor Of the plaintiffs the house was adver-
tised as required by law to be sold on the
30th of this month, to satisfy judgment and
costs, which was defeated by the above mem
toned calamity. 1t is rather mysterious that
the house stood unoccupied for nearly three
years unprotected from the prairie fires,
and at this particular time consumed by the
flames.
The extreme heat Of Monday last was
subdued by the cold embraces of a norther
that swept down upon US the following day.

The Wadena Roller Mills.

These mills after being closed for
{. little over three months, will he
ready for work next week. During
the time that they have been shut
,lown. numerous important changes
have been made; in point of fact, the
work done has been equivalent to
building new mill; We had to ask
Mr.. Taylor's assistance to show US
our way out of the net work of spouts
and elevators that we were lost in.
The following are the most important
changes that have been made: On
the grinding floor. in place of the
three run of buhrs and one set Of
rollers, we found six sets of rollers
and one run of buhrs; with the excep-
ton of the old set, the rollers are of
the best and latest improved type of
tho Stevens Roll, which is now ad-
mitted by millers to be the best in
the market. This floor also contains
an Eureka packer, for packing tho
flour into sacks, and feet 6 buhr
for grinding feed. On the second
floor were tho sca]ping reels, some Of
the boiling chests and middlings puri-
fers, amongst which we Noticed two
Excelsior purifiers, containing tho
latest improvements in that line Of
milling machinery. On the third
were more bolts, whoat bins, etc. The
most noticeable change out Of doors
is the removal of the engine house
from the south end Of the mill to 80
feet east, tho old irQp-covered' struct-
ure being replaced by solid brick
one.
Mr.. Taylor's flour has always ranked
equally with that Of other makers in
our local market, and with the inn
provements and additions made to the
mill, we do not see why he should not
command the whole trade in the i'm.
mediate vicinity of Wadena. and for
some distance east and southwest
*long the line of the Northern Pacific
railroad.
Mr.. Taylor asks rs to state that he
will be glad to see all his old friends
amongst the farmers, and to those
who have never yet visited his mill
he will give hearty welcome and do
his best to give them satisfaction in
every respect.
