A CHICAGO dispatch OF Monday
speaking of the dairy exhibit at the
worlds fair, says: Minnesota is hav-
ing rather hard time of it in con-
nectlon with her dairy sexhibit. Ow-
ing to delays of over a month in get
ting refrigeration machines into the
dairy building, the North Star state
was unable to place her fancy dairy
display in the cases until yesterday.
Friday night A. P. McKinstry, super
intendent of the Minnesota exhibit,
got weary of the shilly shally policy Of
the worlds fair officials and proceed
ed to take matters 10 his own hands.
By working all night and paying out
his own. money for workmen, he sue
ceeded in getting the refrigeration,
after several breakdowns, into run
ming order. 1t consists in the passing
of ammonia through large system
of pipes where it is alternately con-
densed into liquid and rarified into
gas.
The Minnesota exhibit consists of
various flower, star, boquet and other
fancy designs in butter prepared by
Mrs. Mcdowell, of Minneapolis, which
ills up one entire show case. In
a separate upright case the word Min
nesota is spelled out in letters of but
ter in the form rof an arch, under
which is fancy flower design con-
structed of the same material. Min
nesota through the instrumentality
of MIR. Hunt and Mr.. McKinstry has
taken a leading part in hurrying up
the laggard energies of the manage
ment of the dairy department.

Deafness Can Not Be Cured.

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
Deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inf1amed condition of the mucous
lining of the EuStachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the
mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir

THE THORNHILL DISASTER.
Bodies OF Eighty.eight Victims Re
covered.


LONDON, July 6.-Thus far the bodies
of SO dead miners, some of them terri
bly, crushed and burned, have been
sent to the surface at the Thornhill col
liery. Two men were brought up in
an unconscious condition, but still
breathing. The physicians who have
been around the pits mouth nearly all
the time since the accident occurred at
once took them in charge and hopes are
entertained that they will recover. Six
men who had sustained no injury
whatever, but had been imprisoned be-
hind the huge masses of debris, were
dug out during the afternoon. When
they appeared at the mouth of the pit
they were greeted in a most touching
manner by their relatives or friends.
No reason has been given for the ex-
plosion, but the conjecture is that it
was caused by carelessness on the part
of one of the miners in opening his
lamp.

THE Duluth Nesrs Tribune of Mon
day says: The warehouse commission
in today's issue advertises for bids for
the construction of the state elevator
here, of 100000 bushels capacity. 1t
will be about four weeks before con-
struction will begin and by fall every
thing will be ready so the merits of
the new system of state storage can
be tested. Grain men as well as farm
ers will watch with interest this eX-
pertinent of state ownership of grain
warehouses. 1t is new departure
and one that is radical.

Saved BY q SlipknOt.

The traveller in the uncivifized
legions of South America has to
face many perils. If he escapes
the savages, who are adroit and
bitter enemies, if he can secure
water and food and survives the
intense heat and believes his expe-
dition has every chance of success,
he may die within an hour from
the bite of a poisonous. serpent.
NJ. Thouar, and his diary kept
during his explorations in the
Pilcomayo delta under a commission
from the Argentine Government,
describes an experience which
prompted him to eternal vigil
ance in regard to snakes. He
was lying in his hammock;
the sergeant of his guard was
asleep under a tree close by.
Suddenly he noticed an immense
serpent coiled about the sergeant's
leg and extending its head toward
his bare chest. What should he
do? To wake the man meant certain
death to him; but how to kill the
creature or attract it away without
waking him? He recalled a method
of capturing the cobra of India.
He prepared a slipknot. By steal
thy, almost impereeptible move
ments ne attracted the serpent's
attention. 1t turned its head.
Then he leaned from his hammock
and with a long piece Of grass tick
led it gently on the throat. 1t
raised its head. He cast the moose
over it and drew it tight around the
reptiles neck. 1t was not a mo-
ment too soon. The sergeant
awoke. He tainted with fright, but
the danger was passed. The slip
knot had saved him, and the stroke
of the saber cut off the serpent's
head 81

A PosT-oFFIcE INSPECTOR has
been in Mexico during the last two
or three days looking at various
proposed sites for the Mexico Post
Office. There are four locations
talked of by the department but on
ly two at this time under considera-
ton. The four talked of are the
northeast corner of the Ringo block,
rented by Miss Ida Rosamond, the
room occupied by Carter & Purdy,
the present location and the NJ. Y.
Duncan building, next door to the
LEDGER Office, on the northwest
corner of the square. The depart
ment is receiving propositions for a
lease for five years including fuel,
light, rent, etc. Amy Of the sites
spoken of are considered eligible
and We presume the lease most fav-
orabls to the government will be
the one accepted. It is thought that
Mexico win soon be a free delivery
office and this being a fact the loca-
ton Of the Office will not cut much
figure. The various propositions
will be considered by the depart
ment and the final decision reached
at no distant date.
