ings were decorated with flags and bunting.

ent were the G. A. r. post from Valley

Fergus Falls fire department and the Lake

Gone Out of Business.


CREsToN, Ia, July 5.-The business and
social circles of this city have been consider
ably wrought up since Saturday morning
over the sudden and unexpected departure
from the city of Messrs. o. j. and 0. e.
Silverthorn, father and son, treasurer and
secretary of the J. b. Harsh Land conf
pany, a corporation doing an extensive tax
collecting. insurance and real estate trans
fer business in Iowa, Kansas and Ne
braska. The exact amount of the defalca-
ton has not yet been discovered, but it
is variously estimated from $1,000
to $40, 600. The bookkeeper stated that
only 81, 100 was accounted for, of which
81. 400 was money paid in by the taxpayers
of Union county, $500 was collected for
different insurance companies, and the rest
was borrowed money. The Silverthorns
have resided in this community for twelve
years, and their families were highly re-
spected. 1t is not probable that they have
absconded with any large amount of funds
but have simply become involved through
the failure of the business to pay running
expenses, and preferred flight to facing
their patrons.

ASHTON, Oak. July "a hot southwest
wave accompanied by considerable wind
struck this city this morning between 8 and
o'clock. The wind was simply like that
of a furnace and lasted about thirty min
utes. A good many thought the millennium
had come. One farmer said he found his
cattle after the wave had passed nearly Suf-
located, their tongues hanging out and
standing around the well waiting for water.
1t is now feared the wheat crop will be an
entire failure for want of rain. A few
farmers have already commenced to plow
up their ground and seed to something else.

MENTAL LABOR.
The Preparation Required by the Brain
for Its Performance.

Tho Preparation Required by the Brain
for Its Performance.
There are of course immense differ
ences among men as regards capacity
for performing mental work of any
kind. Previous training. constitution
and temperament are potent factors in
determining the amount which each is
capable of doing. Some men can
stand an enormous amount of mental
strain without any apparent injury:
others. from what may be called, for
want of better term, weakness of
brain" are incapable of anything re-
curing mental tension. The worst
consequences are noticed in people of
moderate brain-power, who, in the alb
sence of proper training, attempt the
performance of severe mental labor.
Their case is similar to that of those
who suddenly engage in trials of
strength and endurance after an insult
ficient amount of training, and who
either exhaust themselves BY overtax-
ing their nervous energies, or induce
disorders of the heart or lungs. or
strain of some portion of the muscular
system by the violence of their efforts.
When q man is being prepared for
great muscular exertion he undergoes
: course of training in which the sever
ity Of the work assigned to him is grad
ually and cautiously increased, and the
same rule should be adopted for those
whose mental powers are about to be
severely taxed. II this condition be
fulfilled, II a proper amount of sleep
can be obtained, and If the appetite re-
mains 1t its normal level, the brain
will bear almost any amount of steady
strain in the form of severe mental
labor. ~ ertsteAtly 1svteu.
