Swept by Prairie Fire.

Report comes that a quite large por-
tion of ArgO township was swept by
prairie fire last Tuesday. The fire is
said to have originated from the burn
ing of a straw stack and spreading
into the bottom land where a large
amount of hay was stacked unpro-
tected by fire breaks. 1t followed up
the valley and burned the winters
supply of hay belonging to many
farmers. The boys, George, William
and Alex. Coulter, lost cOnsid-
cradle amount. Alex. Coulter's house
and barn was in the track Of the
flames, and his barn, hay, Oat stacks
and one hog were consumed. One hog
jumped out of the pen and thus es-
capped cremation. Mr.. Coulter was
not at home and Mrs. Coulter took
her child and ran out of the house to
place of safety on the plOwing. Had
not brother arrived and plOwed a
fire break about the house that, too,
would have been burned. JAS. Haden
lost all his feed and some other prop
orty.

Practical Christianity

Rev. VIM. Fielder, a prominent
minister of South Dakota, holds that
half of Christianity consists IN helping
our fellow man; that fully one half of
Christ's ministry was devoted to care
ing for the wants of the body, and he
labored to better the physical condi-
tiOn of man. This strikes us as rather
new theory in theology. II not orig
inal it is different from the general
practice.-Salem Special.
If you could have the good fortune
of listening to Mr.. Fielder's able SER
mons many new and bright thoughts
would reach your befogged brain Bro.
