Prairie fires have been raging in this
vicinity for more than week past, and
great deal Of damage has resulted from them.
L. A. Jacobson's treo claim, few miles
northwest of town, came very nearly meeting
with destruction on Friday last, it being only
lucky accident which prevented the same.
1t happened that Messrs. jacobson. Judge
King, Bert Shaw, and other parties went out
to the tree claim on Friday morning, for the
purpose Of procuring trees for planting on
Arbor day, and when within short distance
from thelr destination they saw the fire bear
ing down towards tho trees from the north.
They Immediately commenced 10 back fire,
and by desperate work succeeded in saving the
trees, all except on one corner Of the claim,
Which were burned. The fire destroyed the
buildings and everything else upon the Hotop
claim, north of Mr.. Jacobson's claim. People
hereabout seem very careless in regard to
setting prairie fires, and we guess tho only
way to teach them to 10 more careful would
be to make all example OF some one.

The editor Of an exchanpe has disccvarod

The editor Of an exchange has discovered
that this Is sort of a topsy turyey world.
One man is struggling for justice and another
fleeing FROM it. One man is saving to bnild
house and another is trying to sell bis house for
less than it coat, to get rid of it. One man is
spending all the money Ee can make in taking
girl to the tl,eater and sending her flowers in
hopes eventually to make her his wife, while
his nejghtor is spending the gold he has to get
divorce. One man escapes all tho diseases
that man is heir to, and gets killed on the
railroad, another escapes without a scratch
AMI dies of whnopiug cough.

-Richland County Gazette: Casper Foss,
of Enger Township has been old fashioned
enough to utilize all the manure from the
barnyari in fertiiiZing his soil. When asked
concerning the result, tho other day, he said
that great advantages had resulted. On the
manurcd land ho sGwod only three pecks per
acre. This had produced greater growth of
straw, and yielded more grain per acre, than
five pecks Of seed per acre on other portions
Of his farm. He had not been seriously
troubled By the lodging Of grain on manured
parts Of the fisld. And he could SEQ that tho

loose and subject to draught. but an OCCASION
al coat Of manure kept it moist and firm.

bursts into song, you can safely bring out your
