A telephone message from Pierz
today says that the Skunk and Hill
man drives have started again and
are making good Roadway. The
Sunday night rain was heavy In
that vicinity and raised the. streams
considerably. The, rain and hail
storm that occurred Sunday alter
noon did not extend more than three
or four miles east of this city. They
now have good stage of water,
which they will be able to hold, now
that the Pine Knoll dam is almost
completely rebuilt. The wind has
changed from the southwest to the
south cast, and is more favorable,
the southwest being a head wind.
1t is believed that if the drives on
those streams had not encountered
the head winds last week they would
now Ce in Rice lake, and the re:
building Of Pine Knoll dam would
not have been necessary.

County Commissioner LaFOnd
Monday awarded the contract for
taking the two spans of the Royal
ton Mississippi bridge out OF the
river to Ed Mahan of this city. The
price given for the work will be $3.50,
and it includes that an inventory of
all the iron be taken, and a note
made of all pieces missing. One span
will he taken out on the west side
and the other on the east. The ma
terial which IT. is expected will he
saved by this work is estimated to
be worth about $500. The work OF
getting the spans out OF the river
rightfully belongs to those towns
who have been benefited by the
bridge, but as they could not come
to an akree1nentfor having the work
done Commissioner LaFond thought
that rather than see the property
lost it would be best to have the
work done, and, II possible, have the
work paid for out of the amount
appropriated by the county to as
sist those towns IN rebuilding the
bridge.

AfteR meals you should have
simply q feeling of comfort and sat
isfaction. You should not feel any
special indications that digestion is
going on. If you do you have indi-
gestion, which means not-digestion.
This may be the beginning OF so
many dangerous diseases, that it is
best to take it in hand at once and
treat it with Shaker Digestive Cor
dial. For you know that indiges-
ton makes poison, which causes
pain and sickness. And that Shaker
Digestive Cordial helps digestion and
cures Indigestion. Shaker Diges-
tive cordial does this by providing
the digestive materials in which the
sick stomach is wanting. 1t also
tones up and strengthens the d.
gestive organs and makes them per-
fectly healthy. This is the rationale
OF it's method of cure, ais the doctors
would say. Sold by druggists, price
10 cents to 81 per bottle.

The purchase of a twO-tank chem
ical engine for the fire department
will add considerably tOlts efficiency.
The present single-tank chemical has
put out >nnhy fires, and with a
double-tnnk machine Il great deal
better work could he done. As it is
now. when the single tank is dis
charged, if the fire has not been sub
dued, the flames have n chance to
get another start while the tank is
being rcfilled. With the two tanks
on one machine the first one that
was discharged could be refilled
while the second one was being dis
charged, and thus Il continuous
stream kept on the fire. Unless a
fire in a building had great start
the chemical could put it out. II the
proposed purchase is made the pres
ent chemical will be taken to the
unprotected residence district in the
northeastern part of the city, and

MORE WHEAT THIS YEAR.
The 11;,t Farmers IN n: Morrison
60" County Increase Wheat he
.:.'sr ~, Acreage.

MAKE wheat q popular NY ~ -
far mers of. Morrison county this year.
Last year while all crops wer. good'
no other one recorded such wonder
ful yields as did wheat. In some
towns scarcely a field went less than
30. bushels per acre, and yields " ~ "
As and even more were not uncOm-
mon. AS other crops depend for a
good price largely on the .l''caltde'
mand, and as all crops were good,
prices on oats, corn and potatoes
were ridiculously low-tn fact the
returns would not much more than
pay for harvesting and taking to
market. Wheat. while low, brought
about the same price az q previous
year. and the price was, of, course.
not perceptibly affected by the local
surplus. Therefore it was no quee-
ton but wheat was the hest crop
last year. Nearly all farmers
planned to increase their wheat
acreage this year. The increase will
not be quite as large asmost farmers
intended. as the late and wet spring
made seeding slow and backward.
The ground that could not be seeded
as early as the farmers desire their
wheat in the ground will be planted
to- other crops, but the increase ol
wheat will still be very large. :.
The local millers are using their
influence to induce farmers to SOW
more hard wheat, as 1t is better Tor
flour making. A great part OF the
wheat now grown IN this county Is
Blue Stem, and the millers recon-
mend Fife.
Little Falls is now u tirst-class
market. The mills grind much more
than is grown in this territory, and
therefore need all the local wheat
they can get. For every bushel OF
wheat shipped out of the county, a
bushel more has to be imported from
the west than otherwise would be.
1t ia cheaper and better for the mills
to buy their wheat here than to buy
it west and ship it here. 50 the pro-
ducers may be certain that the local
market will always be up to the
point that prevents much shipping.
OF course, during the heavy fall de-
liveries some is shipped, but during
the grea ter part Of the year the mills
cannot afford to have much grain
shipped out. During the last year a
less proportion was shipped than
ever before, and after the milling ca
paciry ut Little Falls is more than
doubled Gas it. will be this season.
the shipments will he still less. 1t Is
certainly of advantage to have a
home demand for wheat. While the
price will closely follow outside
markets, and the BUYERS will not at
tempt to entirely drive shippers from
the field, it is still true that the mills
make it more profitable to farmers
t. sell their wheat here than to ship
it. Any city that has mills that
have to import wheat is somewhat
better market for local sellers than
one that has no demand for local
consumption.

LARS HANSEN MISSING.
Disappeared Last" "Wednesday
and Nc! One seems: to Know
His Whereabouts.

I. p. II - = IN AZ ="
Lars Hansen. a resident ,of the
West side, formerly in the. saloon
business there, disappeared. some
what mysteriously last Wednesday
evening, andn bis present focationis
apparently known to no oneFin this
city. ? ;.'
At first it was claimed that some
one had seen him On the banks of
the river near the Hennepin paper
mill. and the rumor was started.
whether TOR aEpurpose or not we
cannot say, that he might have been
drowned.
The drowning theory. however.
is not believed by any of those most
intimately acquainted with him. >:
1t has been positively stated by
members of All organization to
which Hansen belonged and OF
which he was treasurer, that he, was
short considerable amount OF the
lodge funds.
Some parties who have been on
intimate terms with Hansen, ex-
press the belief that. he has left for
the purpose Of raising money with
which to make good the alleged DEL
lett in his accounts and are conf
dent that he will turn up all right.
They claim that he has either gone
to Minneapolis, where daughter Of
HIS resides, or went to Hurley, Wis.,,
where he has some property interests
which he wishes to dispose OF.
Then there are others who think
that he has gone to Walker. the new
town on the Brainerd & Northern
railroad at Leech lake. Hansen has
expressed his intention of going to
that place on several occasions. -,
On the evening of Hansen's disap-
pearance two young men, named
Chas. Nelson and earle, botn friends
of Hansen's, left for that place. and
it is the opinion OF some persons
that he accompanied them.
Mrs, Hansen was seen this morn
ing and claims to know nothing OF
her husbands present location. She
says he left the house without say
ing where he was going, and she
supposed that he was going to
town. Mrs. Hansen said that there
was nothing about MIR. Hansen's
actions that would lead her to think
he had committed suicide.
Mr.. Hansen came to this city
about four years ago from ,Minneap-
oils. At that time it was said that
he was possessed Of considerable
means, which he is reported to have
almost completely lost IN property
deals and an Improbable saloon
business. He has wife and six
children. two OF his SONS being en-
ployed in the Hennepin paper mill.
He has always been considered an
honorable and honest man by all
his acquatntances, and the theory
that he has gone to raise the amount
which he is alleged to have embez-
zled, or, through shame for his act.
is the most likely, for he was con-
sidered far too intelligent to do him
self any harm for an amount that is
said could not possibly exceed $500,
and which he could very likely have
raised among his friends with very
little effort.

Interest.

HUTCHINSON, Jan. 7.-There is trouble
in the school board
Some time ago the board adopted the
Rand McNally geography. for general
use in the schools. Since that time there
have been some discoveries made con-
corning that text book, which have caused
some comment in the board, and a fight
has been started which may result in its
being rejected and the contract re-
scinded.
1t is charged that there are really two
editions of the Rand N cNally geog
raphy. One is the edition adopted by
the board, and the other is an edition
in which considerable space is taken up
with pictures of Catholic buildings in
Rome, and with a history and statistics
concerning the Catholic religion. This
is what has brought about the 'rumpus,"
and the q. P. A. element in the city
will make a "kick" upon retaining the
book, although the edition ordered does
not contain the Objectionable features.
There are several representatives. of
book companies in the city today who
will offer inducements for the board TO
change its mind.
The A. Z. A. also object to readers
used in the school because there is some
poetry in it by the poet Pope" The
cry of mo Popery" goes up.
