the northwestern part Of the county
with I. E. Staples. Mr.. Davidson ls
placing Il considerable amount oi
money on farm loans. but had never
appreciated the character OF the
country in that part ofAthe!county
till this visit. He made a very
thorough examination of lsal"s
Prairie and Scandia Valley towns,
and was surprised to find SO much
land OF the very best qualitW while
there is some very light sol, ana
some rough and uilly land. there IS
a large amount of the best class o1
farming and meadow land. Norm
OF Lake Alexander in particular ne
saw land and crops THAT greatly
surprised him. He said the class o1
settlers there was also Of the best,
and that the land wasrapidly being
brought under cultivation. The
number of settlers has Increased
largely in the last few years. and
there is still considerable good land
there that can be bought very cheap.
The whole country is within easy
reach Of railroad facilities. Lincoln

of the land is heavily timbered, and

A Small Blaze.

A fire alarm was sent in about 4
O'Clock last Tuesday by telephone
from Staples addition. 1t called
out the entire department. but the
only apparatus that was OF any use
was the chemical. The fire was a
small barn on Seventh street, half a
block north OF Staples store. and
owing to the great distance it was
beyond control before the depart
ment could reach it. The loss will
not exceed $3.50, and at this time we
could not learn whether 1t was i'll
sured or not. The cause OF the fire is
supposed to be a small boy and a
match, a likely supposition, con-
sidering the great desire some
children have for playing with such
dangerous playthings.

SECOND FIRE SUCCEEDS,
Paul Herman's House in Swan
River Burns Down at
Laet.

About three weeks ago Paul Her.
mans farm house In Swan Kiver
town Ton section 30) caught fire IN
some mysterious wa. but the
flames were put out by II. p. Rns-
mussen, who lives a short distance
from Herman's. ~
The property was we'll covered
with insurance, there being a policy
Of $3.50 on the house, and a fair
amount ON the contents, and all the
buildings and property having a
policy OF $3.50. A claim was made
for damages, ~ bed and. some
clothing being destroyed. Theclalm
was adjusted for 1854. and the first of
last week Fred Hoffman, sent a
notice co Herman that his check was
awaiting him Herman came 10
town Saturday after his check, ais"
to inform the Insurance agent that
his house had burned down the day
before. 1t SEEMS that on Friday the
house again caught fire, and Mrs.
Herman at once started for Dcnnls
Sheedy's for help. passing hH the
place of Mr.. Rasmussen, who had
put out the previous fire. The Ras-
mussen f,lmiiX. saw Mrs. Herman
make good time for a more distant
neighbours. but did not suppose that
help was wanted. Possibly it was
considerate act not to summon
Rasmussen again, as he had alread"
wOrked hard once to put ont a tre
for the same sufferers. 1t seemed
that the losers would rather take
chances of suffering loss. than 70"
often impose on neighboring kind
ness. Anyway. the house burned
and the Insurance companies :ill
have to come down again. Tho
blame for the fire is placed upon the
children.

ton, had taken no nourishnent except
glass of milk. for over two months.
From 200 pounds N weight, she wasted
away to 75 pounds. A most extraordi-
nary circumstance in this connection is
that the alimentary canal failed abso.
lutely to perform it's Office for 10 weeks
prior to death. Local physicians regard
the case as one Of the most
extraordinary in medical annals-offer-
ing as the only possible explanation,
the theory that some brain disorder in
terfered with the natural processes Of
the body in such a way as to prevent
physical wasting away. She lost the
power Of speech two weeks ago, and
made herself understood by signs. She
apparently suffered no pain. She was

THE TELEPHONE e LINE.
Material for the Extension tC
Little Falls is on the
Ground.

1t is expected that within few
days work will tie commenced IN the
extension Hf the long distance line OF
the Northwestern Telephone COM
pany from st. Cloud to Little Falls.
The right of way for this line has
been almost entirely secured and the
construction crew is expected in st..
Cloud this week. Three car loads OF
poles have been received in st. Cloud
and the tools for one the crews have
also been shipped here from Rey-
nolds, N. D. This extension Of the
telephone line is aimed to end at
Fargo next year.
What will be of more interest to
St. Cloud people. however. il the
sta tement that the local exchange Is
to be rebuilt, particularly through
the business portion OF tie city.
The exchange has outgrown itself
and the small poles originally put
in are now too small to accommo-
date the mass Cf wires. 1t is there
fore proposed to rebuild the line
with fifty foot poles. These poles
will be sha we'd and painted and pre-
sent vastly improved appearance
when compared with the present
line. The city couEcil should see to
it, that hereafter no more OF the un-
slightly poles that adorn some OF
our streets, will be permitted.
AS will be seen by the above, Lit
tie Falls will soon be fortunate in
the possession of telephone cOnnec-
tiOns with the large cities in the
state to the south of us. The local
system of the Northwestern Tele-
phone exchange has always given
satisfactory service. and now that
the long-distance service is to be
added to the facilities the people OF
the city will be better pleased than
ever with the service given.

CONQUERED DIPHTHERIA.

kntI-roxIne. the New Discovery, Tried
with Good ReauIts-A Thrse-yeAru-old
Child Saved From Death by ths Rsm-
edy.
OF all ailments to which humanity ia
heir, there is none which is feared ana
dreaded worse than diphtheria. The
beautiful cities Of the dead which mtud
our cities are filed with tiny hAadatones
bearing the names Of loved ones who
bloomed few short years, making glad
some lives, and then fell beneath the aim
Of this direful disease. Physicians had
devoted their lives to tho prevention and
cure OF this plague. and remedy after
remedy has been discovered only TO prove
futile.
The latest and the most promising of
these prevsntivss and cures Is anti.
toxine, discovered By Professor Roux
and introduced to the medical world but
recently. Trials made with 1t hATs
proved eminently successful and its
virtues have commanded the attention Of
our leading physicians.
Recently a supply Of the material was
received by Secretary of the Board Of
Health w. Q r. Colquhoup from
Behring & Ehrlich. New York, and
saveral local physicians havs obtained
quantities for trial from him. The honor
Of the FIRST successful experiment belongs
to Drs l. and l.. a. kittsnger. Last Wed
nesday they we're called TO attend Emily
Huston, ithe year-old child ef
William Il Huston who resides at No.
1905 King street They found tho little
one suffering from diphtheria and At once
notified the president OF the Board Of
Health, who pronounced the diagnosis
correct, and the child dangerously III
with the dread disease.
AT 10 o'clock Wednesday evening the
temperature OF the little Girl was 104
degrees, and Der pulse 160. while the
membrane covered both tonslls and this
palate They injected 900 snti-toxins
normal units and awaited results. Tia
next morning, Thursday. at 10 c'clock,
| Just twelve hours from the injecting OF
the anti-toxine the temperature had
dropped TO 80 2-5 degrees. while the pulse
ran only 10. To day her temperature
and pulse are both normal, there Is no
sign OF any membrane, and the child Is
on fair road to recovery This is the
irst test case made in Wilmington, and
is authentic. Its successful termination
is triumph alike for Drs. Klttirger
and the anti-toxine, and will do much to
revolutionize the treatment Of the disease
here. The test case is looked upon With
great interest by other physicians, whs
will now have no hesitancy IN trying II.
