Strength of Wood.

So indestructible by wear and de-
cay is the African lockwood that
vessels built of it have lasted fully 100
years, to be then broken up only on
account of their poor sailing quail
tiles. The wood, in fact, is one Of
the most rem lrkable employed In
human industries on the score Of its
very great weight, hardness and dun
ability,

The peach was ig'nally a poisonous
almond. Its fruity parts were used to
poison arrows and for that purpose were
introduced into Persia. Transportation
and cultiva ion have not only removed
its poisonous qualities. but turned it
into delicious fruit.

ESTIMATE OF THE Loss.
Estimated by Shandrew at so Per
Cent of the Insurance.

Estimated by Shandrew at 80 Per
Cent of the Insurance.
The list showing the various COM
panies holding policies Oh the Powers
Dry Goods company's stock was COM
pleted by j. G. Shandrew last evening.
Mr.. Shandrew. seen by a GLOBE re-
porter, said it had been decided not to
give out the detailed list for publica-
ton. Policies were held by seventy
five companies, all represented by local
agencies, the total amount of insurance
being 1925. 900 on the stock. HIS esti-
mate of the loss was 80 per cent of the
insurance, and this would be his report
to the companies.
A. j. Powers. one of the members of
the firm, seen last evening, said that an
examination made during the day of
the stock showed the loss and damag e
by water would be much larger than
estimated at the time of the fire. Th e
origin of the fire was as much mystery
as at any time. The most reasonable
theories were that mice and matches
started the blaze. or that the night
| Waterman, in passing through the no
| ton stock. had carelessly lighted a
match, or dropped fire from his pipe on
one of the counters. The Waterman. he
| said, however, denied that he had struck
| any matches or had carried pipe with
/ him in his rounds. The amount of the
| loss, Mr.. Powers thought, had been un-
| deresiimated by Mr.. Shandrew; but the
| correct state of affairs would be aseer-
tanned when the insurance adjusters
had finished their work.

COntest--A Very Pleasing Pro-
gramme.
Last night the assembly hall of the
high school was the scene of a friendly
try for oratorical supremacy among nine
of st. Paul's best boy and girl speakers.
Every year the state OF Minnesota

to which each senatorial district sends
two high school scholars. one as COM
petitor and one as an alternate. In our
section are the st. Paul and saltwater
High schools, who will soon have a
preliminary tussle for the two coveted
places on the final programme.
The affair OF last night was to choose
four representative speakers from the
ST. Paul nigh temple of learning to CON-
pete with similar number from Still.
water. The contest is to take place in
st. Paul within week or two. Last
year both honors fell to st. PaaI's lot in
the minor contest, although we did not
receive as creditable place in the final
decision of the state judges. Last
night Rev. S. q. Smith, Judge
Cornish and Nathan Ford COM
posed a formidable trio TO whom
the aspirants locked with entreating
eyes for personal glory and advance
meAt. The ones chosen were, among
the young ladies, first, Miss Emma
Freyer; second, Miss JOY Marsden; ana
among the young men, first, Robert
Hale; second, j. Casper Saear.
The programme, which was excel
lently well rendered, consisted of the

Is the Way Lyons speaks of, the
Cold Wave.
P. F. Lyons, forecast official, made
the following comment on the weather
last night:
The sudden fall in temperature yes
terday led many to think that another
cold wave was coming. Last nights
weather reports from the Northwest
show that the cold area is of very linn
tied extent, being confined 10 Manitoba
and Northern Minnesota; in fact it IS SO
limited and moderate that a sharp frost
instead of cold wave is the proper
name for it. A decided ''thaw" is not
anticipated for this week. but the con-
ditions over other portions of the
Northwest besides the places mentioned
at first indicate very moderate tempera-
ture; IN fact, the prospects are that
sleighing will be interfered with.

SUFFERERS FROM HAIL.

Farmers Without seed for Next
Spring.
Assistant Adjutant General Bevans,
who has just returned from trip north
into Grant and Stevens counties, says
that the farmers i'll that district, who
suffered severe losses from the hail in
the fall. will be in a bad state this spring
unless they receive some outside assist
ance. He says that they are absolutely
without grain for seed, and the acreage
will of necessity be very small, and in
consequence they will be as badly off
next winter. 1t is hoped that something
may be done to render temporary as

ON THE ROLL CALL

to award the contract, Aid. Copeland

pany was the lowest bidder, and he
would so vote. Aid. Conley voted mo"

at length his reasons for voting
against awarding the contract. Nothing
had arisen to change his views regard

advertising for bids Under the charter
the city had no right to let contract
with the further proviso that the num-
Der of lamps would be increased If the
additional lamps were needed there
were only two ways 10 do it. One was
to reject all bids, and the other to award
| the contract for the number. He was
| not in favor of awarding the contract to
| Seeger at the price mentioned, but
! under the circumstances he was in favor
| of rejecting all bids and readvertiSing.
! In reply to Aid. Hickman as to the

| Markham held that the council had the
right at any and all times to reject bids

marks of the Eighth ward alderman
