Dog Power.

Is there any valid objection to the
proposition made by the American con-
sui at the Belgian city of Liege that
.mastifs shall be used in this country as
beasts of draft and of burden, as they
are used in Belgium? If dog power is
running to waste here as it formerly ran
to waste in Belgium, why should it not
be utilized by the Americans, as it now
is by the Belgians, to their profit? t?-New

Electricity at the Fair.
In all quarters Of the Electricity build
ing are new and astonishing uses to
which the subtle fluid is put, sometimes
when only the slightest force is desired;
at others when a mighty and irresistible
power is applied. There are splendid
exhibits showing the application of elec-
tricity to mining.
Leaving this building, one watches tho
electric trains glide along the intramu-
raj road, or the electric launches dart,
silent and smokeless, about the beauti-
full lagoons. Turning cityward, he sees
Chicago covered by the lowering, i'm
penetrable pail of smoke belched from
myriad chimneys, and wonders when
the equivalent of light and heat will be
generated at the big coalhelds and
waterfalls and sent broadcast through
out the land; when cleanliness and quiet
shall prevail. York Evening Post.

CONDUCTOR ROOT INJURED.

Conductor Frank Root was badly
injured lat $50 o'clock Friday
at Minnesota Lake. In accordance
with his custom of assisting the
brakemen, he was making coupling
between c., M. & ST. P. freight car
and a foreign freight car, when he
was caught sideways between the two
cars and was severely crushed from
his shoulders to his waist. He was
taken to Wells and DR. Nicholson was
summoned to care for him. The ply
sician accompanied him to this city
on the 1:30 p. m. train.
Mr.. Root was able to walk from the
train to the bus, but when seated was
obliged to lie down, the effort of walk
ing having overcome his strength. He
was at once taken to his home and
DR.. Warner was summoned. The two
physicians made careful examination
of the sufferer, and found that he was
quite badly injured, but whether he
was hurt to any considerable extent
internally is not known. There ribs
were broken. Mr.. Root feels very lame
and sore, and he will be confined to
his house for some time. 1t Is for
tunate that the injury was not worse.
About two months ago Mr.. Root
suffered an injury somewhat similar
but not nearly so severe, while max
ing coupling between two cars at
Mapleton. He is careful man and
has long been in the employ of the
road. His run lies between this city
and Wells, and he is popular not only
with the railroad men, but with all
friends will unite in the hope that he
will soon be at his post again.

SUED FOR $4,000.
Veronica Yaeger Sues jacob Wagon
for Unlawful Detention and
False Accusation.
Mr.. Wagon Claims that Miss Yaeger
had Misappropriated Ten
Dollars.

Papers were served Monday in a
rather sensational case, which, if it
goes to trial will attrrct a good deal
OF attention on account of the prom
lnence of one of one of the parties. 1t
is an action commenced by Veronica
Yaeger against Jacob Wagon to re-
cover $4,000 damages. The plaintiff
was employed in the family of the de-
PENDANT and she claims that when she
was about to leave on June 30th Mr..
Wagon unlawfullY and forcibly con-
fined and imprisoned her in small
room for one hour and did then and
there wrongfully, maliciously, know
ingly and designedly falsely accuse
the plaintiff of the crime of larceny
and did threaten to prosecute her,
although knowing the charge to be
false, and refused to let her 60 until
she did pay to Mr.. Wagon the sum of
80 She asks for $4,000 to soothe the
pain of body and mind thus occasion
ed. Her attorney is w. N. Plymat.
Mr.. Wagon claims that Miss Yaeger
had taken from his pockets the
amount named, and that he was
merely demanding the return Of his
money. Miss Yaeger's parents reside
near the city. The case will not
come on for trial before the December
term of court. Lorin Cray is Mr..
Wagons attorney.

COUNTY BOARD.

The county commissioners metMon-
day forenoon. The. first business was
listening to delegation of jamestown
people, who came to complain Of their
assessments. They complained that
the assessor was not 'onto" his job,
and that he went by no fixed standard
and assessed some too high and others
too low. The assessment for the en-.
tire township is so low that the board
of equalization will probably raise it,
which will bring the high ones above
water mark. The board could give no
relief.
Nelson Strand was Mondoy afternoon
allowed $25 dollars damages on the
road north OF Rapidan.
A delegation from Jamestown ap-
peared before the board this after
noon and asked the county to aid in
improving the hill on the county line
road, mile this side of f. r. Volk's
hotel, The hill is very steep one
and has been impossible this summer
making it necessary for teams to
travel through the adjourning wheat
field. The board agreed to give the
matter further consideration during
the present meeting.
The county commissioners Tuesday
considered petition for new road
between Vernon and Lake Crystal. 1t
will leave the present road short
distance west Of Garden City, land will

of five miles. Commissioners Hughes,

T IPRlELY INCREASING.
The Authorities Of the Board OF
Health Give Some Important In
formation bout the Present Con-
ditIOn of the People.

At no time in the history of New York City
have there been SO many deaths from pneu-
monia as now The official figures show that
nearly twice as many deaths from this cause
are occurring than for the last five years.
This is something terrible.
Dr. John r. Maggie. Registrar OF Vital Sta
tistcs. says that this increase is due to the In
fluence of grip. He says that grip may be
called epidemic just now, and that III the
majority of cases grip is vital. contributing
cause to pneumonia and all dangerous pull
mouary troubles. At this time of the year
when we are changing over from winter to
spring, there is always q low order of vital
itv; a reaction from the strains of the season.
The blood does not flow so full nor rapidly:
the strength is less. For this reason grip has
much better chance than at any other sea-
SON.
This is a time of year when people need TO
be careful. and too much Importance cannot
be placed upon keeping the blood warm and
in circulation. You must bring about re-
action if YOU wish to avoid the pain and dan
gers of these troubles in time. There is but
one way by which a reaction can be brought
about, and that is by the use of pure stimu-
lant, preferably whiskey. But the great diff
Guilty is that there are few whiskeys which
are pure The only really pure and reliable
whlskey known to the medical profession or
the world is Dufys Pure Malt. 1t possesses
qualities known only 10 itself. 1t Will bring
about a reaction and prevent cold, pneu-
monia or the grip where many so-called slim
ulants would fail. 1t has saved more lives
and relieved more suffering than anything
OF a similar nature which was ever known
before to the world.

NELLIE RIPLEY DEAD.
Estimable Young Lady, Well
Known Here, Passes Away.

Estimable Young Lady, Well
Known Here, Passes Away.
Word has just been received of the
death at Colorado Springs of Miss Nellie
Ripley, second daughter of Col. Ripley,
of this city. The cause of death was
pneumonia, after an illness of ten weeks
Miss Ripley has resided in Denver for
the past four years. having been
and unable to liYe in this eli
mate. Col. Ripley's family have thus
made their home at Colorado
Springs, although his business 4nter-
ests were all in Minneapolis. He re-
turned to Denver last week, and Mrs.
Ripley. who was also away, was sum-
moned to her daughters side. A pecu'
liarly sad feature of the case is that the
end was great shock, for the young
ladies expected to go abroad for the
summer, and had their passage already
engaged. The illness of Miss Ripley
was only regarded aS necessitating
postponement She had very strong
constitution, and was perfectly healthy
in a climate that did not affect her
lungs. The funeral took place yester-
day afternoon. Doubtless Col. and Mrs.
Ripley and Miss Faith Ripley will re-
turn to Minneapolis to reside.
