turned from a trip to Atlantic City,
where he was in attendance at the grand
lodge OF Elks of the United States.
Speaking of the catastrophe at the "Ca-
sino" while the social session was in pro-

the second story, where they were. The
building was a frame mi the size Of the
hall 50x8O feet. A dry rot had set in in
the beams, and the whole floor collapsed.
Mr.. Wilder was ear a window and so

projecting piece of timber, and escaped
with a badly bruised leg and a torn suit
of clothes.
Devils Lake, in addition to it's shoot

death. A dead man was discovered lying

An old colored lady about 70 years
of age passed through jamestown afoot
last week bound for San Francisco.
The old lady is quite an interesting
specimen of humanity, a little cracked
perhaps, but nevertheless interesting as
a specimen of the genuine Southern

her but she told him the Lord had told
her to walk to the four corners of the
earth, and that she had left New Orleans
about two years ago and was going to
walk all the way. She had a memoran.
dunn book which people where she stayed
had written in which showed she had
been in Boston and various other places.
She had old clothes and bundles weigh
ing about 60 pounds which she carried.

a roof; room 12x16 feet; a wall of snow a
foot thick about the outside of the room
with water thrown over it to freeze; then
water pumped into the from the
we'll. This done during the coolest
weather yields a solid mass of ice 8x12x
16 feet, or 1886 cubic feet Of ice, and
there you may see it today. Co1ollary
"a COW, home made ice, garden with
berries and currants, ice cream and
fruit on the farmers table almost with
out cost, every warm day in the year.
Luxury and thinking often go hand in
hand.
