to weaken the intestines, and Is prejudicial To

The County Fair.

Will be given an elaborate pro-
duction at the Opera House Mon
day evening next. April 2oth.
The play amply serves its pur-
pose, which is to furnish the
framework for a picture Of simple
New England country life. Its
heroine is Abigail Prue, the
strong-minded, unsophisticated,
though shrewd and warm hearted
spinster, and is clearly drawn
picture Of certain phase of
human nature. Realism and
rusticity are the koynotes to the
triumph Of the comedy. 1t has
just enough dramatic interest to
keep the mind from dwelling on
the cows, horses and haymakers,
and presents several realistic
items. The treatment of the play
is epitomized in the New York
Herald in the following: 1.-The
play is sweet, sweet as the fra
GRANGE Of fresh hay and flowers
and the laughter Of village maids
in midsummer. Of the great
dramatic and mechanical climax
of the comedy-the running horse
race-little remains to be told. 1t
is, beyond doubt, the greatest
effect of modern times.

fifteen minutes from the time the

soon as the supports underneath
the front part Of the frame work
burned through, letting the weight

flames quickly communicated to
the old Reddish property on the
north and it, too, was soon de-
stroyed, but there the flames we're
checked by the fire department.
The fire only lasted about
an hour but it did its work
thoroughly. The heat on the
east side of the street was so
intense that the plate glass win
dows of Messrs. LeCompte &
Gayle Co. were broken and those
of the Williams block and N. F.
Richardson were only saved by
lowering the awnings in front of
them and keeping the awnings

Three of the storerooms in the

THURSDAY NIGHTS FIRE.

Just before 10 o'clock Thurs
day night Judge w. {. Herndor
and DR.. J. Hampton Price were
returning to their homes on the
South Side when they discovered
fire on the floor Of one of the
store-rooms in the Fincel Block on
Bridge street. The fire was only
about the size of half bushel,
and when Judge Herndon pro.
posed to go and turned in an
alarm from box IL at Williams
corner, only a few steps away.
DR.. Price demurred, saying 1--WE
can put it out before the depart
ment can get here. Judge
Herndon turned in the alarm,
however, and by the time he
could cross the street the whole
of the lower part of the entire
block seemed to be on fire, smoke
issuing from every cellar opening,
and he and DR.. Price at once
turned their attention to getting
the people out of the upper stories
of the building and were bravely
assisted by the fremen and
others. Five families occupied
the rooms over the stores
and so rapid was the pro-
gress of the flames that all of
the people who escaped came out
with only their night clothing and
many had to be taken from the
roof of the shed in front. being
cut off from the stairway. The
room over the meat store, on the
corner of Second street, was oc-
cupied by Mr.. James Wager and
family and these were among the
last to be awaken. Mrs. Wager
and three of her children were got
ten out in safety, but Mr.. Wager

could not be aroused in time and
persisted in the flames.
In the confusion it was supposed
that all had been taken from the
burning mass in safety and that
the children had come over to the
north side or become lost in the
crowd, but when the people began
to 60 home and search could be
more readily made for them their
fate became evident. About 3
O'Clock yesterday morning Mr..

From the correspondence of The Raral

Flowing and narrowing.

In many sections these two operations
may not follow closely, but in windy
and dry climates they ought not to be
far apart, writes j. N. Rice Of Oklaho-
ma ia Field, Farm and Fireside. He
says: II there is moisture in the ground
and as deep as we would like it, and
there is abundance of moisture in the
atmosphere, the narrowing might be
deferred for weeks. but the soil should
be watched and the narrowing be done
before clods form. The usual condi-
tions here are that the surface for two
inches or more will dry out in a day,
and it is o safe rule TO harrow one days
blowing tho following morning. or if
there should ba much dew or moisture
Or the surface to harrow just after noon.
Either of these ways is convenient in
regard to changing from pillow to har-
row and hack again with the least loss
of time. We take orr harrow to the field
at same time as the pillow, and the IN
hooking of the eyener is but the work Of
a minute. narrowing thus before clods
form levels and smooths much quicker
and easier Than afterward, but the pri-
mary thought generally here is TO fine
the soil to prevent escape of moisture.
Not that we always have IL dry. but to
retain moisture is quite often a feature
of western farming.

farmers do it in the northwest. Follow
ing is the story told by a Wisconsin
farmer in a letter to Rural New Yorker:
Il have q tank made of 2 inch
plank, 1 foot deep by 4 feet wide by ID
feet long. l selected q sunny place for
the work, as near the cellar as possible.
I lay down boards BY the side Of tho
tank until l have o smooth 1oor about
10 feet square. for drying the potatoes
after soaking I fill the tank about one
bali full Of water, and to this add an
ounce Of corrosive sublimate TO each
eight gallons Of water. The tank holds
about 80 bushels of potatoes, and this
amount Of water will cover them nicely.

afraid of a cut or sore on the hands get
ting poisoned, for i have found that
keeping the hands wet for a few days
in handling tho potatoes from the above
mixture will cure o cut or bruise Of
long standing.
1.-THE only extra cost to me for put
ting the seed through this treatment is
the cost Of the corrosive sublimate,
which is 81 cents per ounce and the
cost Of shoveling the potatoes from the
tank to the platform, which SIS 81. 90
per day amounts to 8 cents per tank of
30 bushels, as it takes a man 90 minutes
to clear the tank. Fifty ounces of corro-
sive sublimate will do for 90 acres of
potatoes or 6 "a cents per acre. AS a tank
of 30 bushels OF potatoes will plant
about three acres, the extra cost OF
handling per acre, at 8 cents per tank,
would be "a cents. This, added to Ga
