Architect Frank Thayer has re-
turned from Adrian, where he went
to inspect the new school building
which is being erected at that place.
1t is large ten room building, and is
being built of brick and stone and will
cost $4,000. Perry Wysong, of this
city, has the contract for building the
same, and is doing very fine job.
Last Saturday night the young
folks of the Minneshonona Sunday
school of Belgrade held a necktie So
cial at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Wright. Seventeen young ladies
went and each one carried a handsome
ly trimmed basket containing supper
for two and a necktie. After pleas
ant time was spent in playing games
the baskets were ,sold at auction, a
profit of S16.75 being realized, and the
money was given to Rev. J. V. Hawk
who has been preaching at that place.
The painting of the Park fence
has been completed and measured
and foots up to about 172 rods which
at the contract price of S1.45 per rod,
will make the cost about $3.50. III. d.
Williams did the job and it is good
one too, and adds greatly to the
beauty of the park. Work has COM
menced in fixing up the grand stand.
The ends will be enclosed, the front
beautifed, and the whole given coat
of paint. The Park is fast becoming
a most beautiful place, and with the
Improvements in contemplation it
will in few years become the equal
of any park in the northwest.
SaturdayforenoonDr Andrews left
his team by the First National bank,
and one of the horses reached over
into the carriage ahead and lifted the
blanket with his teeth. A loaded
revolver dropped from the blanket
and one cartridge was discharged.
The noise attracted the passersby,
and the weapon was picked up.

THE STATE FAIR.

The state fair this year has been a
grand success in every respect. The
exhibits have been large and fine, the
crowds have been immense, and the
weather for the past few days has
been all that could be asked for
pleasant, cool and bracing. The dust
upon the grounds, however was ter
rible and made visit there anything
but pleasant, but this was the only
unpleasant feature noticeable.
The show of horses and cattle is the
finest ever made in the northwest
and is well worth ones time to go
and see. Minnesota is producing some
as fine horses as can be found any
where. Willard & Fuller, of this
county have a fine exhibit of horses
on the grounds and will come away
with some good premiums.
The cattle exhibit is up to the
standard and shows that Minnesota is
fast forging to the front as stock
raising state, and will soon become
noted for it's fine herds. The exhibit
of stock from the state farm was ex-
ceptionally fine.
One of the most crowded places on
the grounds was the poultry depart
ment and it was the unanimous
opinion of all visitors that it was one
of the best and largest poultry display
ever made in the state.
There was also a fine exhibit OF
farm machinery.
The Creamery Package Co. OF our
city had one of the largest and finest
displays of creamery and dairy sup
plies, and their booth presented a
handsome appearance. Manager
Higgs was on hand to give informa-
tion on all points in that line desired.
The races were good and well at
tended, the grand stand being crowd
ed at all times with enthusiastic
lovers of the hOr e
On the whole the fair is a success
both financially and as matter of eX-
hibits and will prove of immense be-
nefit to the state.

THE PATTERSON-PAYNE BLOCK.

We give our readers today cut of
the new Payne block which
is to be erected at the corner of Front
and Cherry streets, a description OF
which we gave our readers few weeks
ago. Work has already commenced
on the excavation. The E. G. Burdick
Co. has the contract for the erection
of the block. The contract price for
the portion belonging to Mr.. Patterson
being $4,000, and 1.-The part by Mrs.
Payne will cost 1864. This is for the
block complete, including the plumb
ing and stone sidewalks, ready to be
occupied. The block is to be finished
Nov. 1st. This will be fine improve
ment for that part of the city.

Is DEATH ITO BABIES.
When Food Fails to Give
Strength in September.
Children Must Now Eat Well
and Digest Well in Or
der to Live.
Lactated Food Will Not Disagree
With Any ,Child--ShOuld Be
Used.

Don't take chances with the baby
These summer disorders, diarrhea
and cholera infantum, come with a
suddenness and progress from bad to
worse with azrapidity that throws un-
prepared mothers into helpless con-
| fusion.
Every experienced nurse knows that
it is Of the utmost Importance to
keep at hand lactated food as sub
stitute for baby's food, even when a
child is fed at the breast. Often the
heat so weakens the infant stomach
or the natural milk fails, so that a
partially digested food, such a lactat-
ed food, must be employed, that will
burden the weakened stomach less
and yet keep up the babys strength.
The irritated condition of the bowels
is what leads to fatal diarrhea when
mothers persist in clinging to the
same old diet despite the warnings
that baby is not only not thriving, but
in.great danger of cholera infantum
and diarrhea that carries off so many
infants.
1t is far easier to prevent these
summer disorders by using pure,
high nourishing lactated food.
When babies throw up their milk
or when they are not keeping up their
strength, especially during hot
weather, it is plain there is trouble
with the food. Either the food, if it
is mothers milk, is poor in quality
from long nursing or from the effects
of the summer heat on the mother or
| if the child is weaned the infant
stomach, weakened as it is by the high
temperature, is irritated and cannot
| digest and asSimilate sufficient food
to keep baby strong and healthy.
Physicians when called in such cases
put the child on a diet of lactated
food. Being partially digested food,
as physicians call it, lactated food is
more easily converted into vigorous
blood than any other food upon which
child can be fed. 1t is, in fact, the
nearest possible substitute for healthy
mothers milk, Its parts are we'll
nigh ididentical with baby's earliest
and best food, healthful breast milk.
Babies that seem to mothers to take
hardly enough nourishment to beep
them alive" eat heartily when fed on
lactated food, because that great OBJ
ject of successful infant food has
been thoughtfully attained pleases
the infant taste and induces the
child to eat heartily
Babies are safely and readily wean-
ed during the summer months on this
splendid nutritive And for the same
reason that lactated food is by far the
| best diet for young children, so it is
peculiarly fitted to the needs of nurs-
| ing mothers, as well as invalids who
have slight energy to extract strength
and nutrition form ordinary course,
hearty food.
Lactated food is used in all the
large homes for children throughout
the United States and Canada, and in
families possessing every means for
securing the best for their children;
and yet it is easily within the reach
of the most modust household in the
land

a Relentless IIyenu.

a well known Austin gentleman found
himself in very embarrassing position.
He had left his money ut home, and not
q nickel or car ticket could he find
in his clothing. He was about to leave
the bobtail car when IL gentleman, a real
gentleman, with sinister cast of counte-
nance, rendered him nickel. He gladly
accepted it and dropped it into the box.
The grateful party then shook his I'M
known benefactor's hand, thanking him
for the confidence and accommodation
and asked his address SO he could return
the money.

Gus man, tits IL counterfeit anyhow.

a western judge was listening to an
attorney who had mean habit of inter
polating remarks into the proceedings OF
the court. What he said was scarcely
ever heard by any one, as he mumblcd
rather than spoke and would never re-
peat remark. One day he said some
thing which nobody heard except the
judge, who at once became exceedingly
angry. Turning to the court bailitf, he
thundered out, ''Adjourn this courtv'
Then, as soon as the bailiff had done his
duty, the judge stepped from the bench,
beckoned to the lawyer to follow him
and entered the clerks office The law
yer went along. So did two or three
other people.
AS soon as the judge got fairly into
the room, he seized lawbook, and tnrn-
ing upon the lawyer he fairly screamed:
Il was on the bench awhile ago. and Won
insultcd Inc. was Il Judge then. am
man now, and the man will have an
apology for the judge, or he will take it
out of your hide. You might make an
apology TO the judge, but you would
not mean it. Now, however, the case is,
more serious. and unless you give me

which the Judge accepted, and then the
party went back TO the courtroom and
resumed business-San Francisco Aroo-

HoMlNa POWERS OF THE CAT.
They Arc Mysterious and UnfathomabIe
Even TO Modern Science.

They Arc Mysterious and UnfathomabIe
Even to Modern Science.
That cat can come home in the face
of almost incredible difficulties is per-
fectly certain. Thus, to take a fact as
an instance, cat was carried from q
town on the northeast coast of Fife to q
house near Perth. 1t went in basket
by train to Leuchars, where it changed
for Dundee, and at Dundee changed for
Perth. Next day, about in the morn
Ing, this cat was observed to run down
the avenue of it's new home with pur-
poseful air. On the third day it ap-
peared at its old home.
Now, how did that cat achieve it's
Journey Did it take bee line across
country, and, if 80, how did it know its
direction? Or did it run to Dundee, cross
Tay bridge (the railway bridge) and SO
along the line TO Leuchars, negotiating
the Eden at Guard bridge? We can
hardly suppose that it swan the Tay.
Or did it go round by the head of Loeb
Tay-a long rough journey by the Kill
lin, where cat might meet many dan
gers and temptations The perils of a
cat on the road are innumerable. Every
collie dog chases it, every gamekeeper
has gun for it, every boy is ready with
a stone. Indeed we never see q cat on
its travels. No doubt it runs by night.
There is the hypothesis that the cat came
by train, changing Mt Dundee, and achiev-
ing the difficult maneuver at Leuchars,
wherein many men have failed, going
back to Dundee or getting to Cupar,
though not one of them was like him
shat will to Cupar." This method of
transit, which needs agile acuteness Of
reason in any man, may not be beyond
the powers and intelligence of a cat.
But all conceivable ways, from the
bee line across country and over rivers
to the course round Loeb Tay, are full
of perplexities. That the cat simply
rode on a broomstick behind a witch is
an hypothesis which brings us into I'M
friendly contact with modern ideas of
progress. Somehow the thing was done,
and done in 4S hours. A dog spoken of
by Mr.. Romanes ran from Vienna to
Mentonne, but died of fatigue. The cat
was as we'll and sound as usual, We
may speak of instinct and inherited apti-
tude, but to find its old home is of no
use to IL cat i'll the struggle for existence.
Cats, much more than dogs, are indie
pendent of Il home. They can take to
the heather, the forest or the back green.
Thus the cats which fortuitously devel-
oped the power of "homing" would be
no better off than other cats and not
more fitted to survive and beQueath their
Accomplishment to their progeny.
In face of these facts our boosted
science is dumb. We know little about
cats, but cats know a great deal about
us. Faculties of this kind made the cat
mysterious power i'll the middle ages.
He was roasted alive that his unknown
protector might come and rescue him by
uttering words of prophecy. This very
fact proves the existence of feline Sc
cret society which nobody studies, for
we are all apt to neglect the facts which
underlie and inspire the truths which
are called superstitious. Cats have very
probably ''an underground railway."-
