VIM. r. Edgar has just had complet-
ed a new and commodious barn. Its
outside finish is a credit to the premi-
ses, and the arrangement of stalls,
granary, etc., inside, are as cOuvein-
ent as can well be imagined. Friend
Begley says it's all right, and rather
recedes from his original position as to
the capacity of the NOW. We believe
he at one time agreed to fill that de-

A two-story frame building owned

just south of the railroad crossing at

the ground last Saturday morning
about four o'clock. The house was
unoccupied, except by passing tramps
since frosty weather set In. 1t is sup
posed that it ignited through the care

| fire was not discovered by them until
too late to extinguish it. OF course
they had disappeared when the citi-

As sanitary measure the public
| schools of this town should have been
closed month ago, and perhaps the
| epidemic of diptheria now raging might
have been stamped out. As it is, the
daily contact of healthy children with
| those affected has made every third
house hospital, and, worse than all,
several deaths have resulted. If it be
no sacrilege. we suggest to the board
| of directors that they close the school
at once, and preserve the children yet
| unaffected from the risk of further
| indiscriminate association. 1t is too
bad that the lives of the little ones
should be hszarded when the danger
is so very apparent.

the proprietor, he is not sure whether
he is out anything or not.

went into neighboring place to secure
the required amount, and while he
was gone, the thief reached into the
