Foot ball.

On Friday last the Sank Centre foot
ball team went to ST. Cloud to meet
the boys of that city on the gridiron.
They met them. After a lively pound
ing bee, during which w. V. Whipple
of this city had front tooth knocked
out, and was so bruised and battered
that he had to be carried from the
! field and later to the train and was
laid up in bed for two or three days,
the sport ended. 1t is an exhilerating
game full of vigorous, health-giving
exercise-to those who survive. Our
boys never made a point from start
to finish, and st. Cloud scored 32-
whatever that means. The HERALD
believes it is 25 for the tooth and !
for the general smuggling. What a
score they would have made if they
had only broken Whipple's back
which seemed to be the purpose.

A Destructive Fire.

The explosion Of a lamp cost c.. G..
Calkins of West Union, on Monday
last, his fine home and most of the
contents. Mrs. Calkins carried lamp
into the cellar to look after some
canned fruit which she had been put
ting up, and just as she came up the
stairs and set the lamp down it ex-
ploded scattering the burning kerosene
all over the room. The fire spread
rapidly and the house and most of it's
contents were destroyed. The build
ing was insured for 5000 with Chas. A.
Morse in the Hartford of Connecticut
and the contents for $500 in the same
company. Mr., Calkins loses aconsid-
cradle amount, the losses exceeding
the insurance by several hundred dol

A Prize story!

| =
The Minneapolis Journal offered
several prizes for vacation stories
written by pupils OF the public schools.
One of these prizes was taken by
Bertha, daughter of DR.. E. c. Rich,
and it is a very meritorious piece OF
literary work for one SO young. 1t
follows:
AS 1 look back over the time that
has elapsed since that June day when
my books were safely placed upon
their shelf for the summer, it seems as
though the time had been all too short.
Yet, have enjoyed my vacation in
many different ways.
The first few weeks were spent in
rest-simply rest from study and
school. On the glorious Fourth we
all took the excursion train to Willard
to visit my uncle. His farm was at a
nice distance from town and I always
looked forward to such visit with
the greatest pleasure. Although the
rest of our family returned soon, I re-
manned for a week.
But I have not described the farm IT,
self. The white farmhouse stood on
the summit of slope. On one side,
further down, lay the big barn and
the other buildings; below, on the
other side, lay beautiful, shining
Lake Amelia. This last named added
greatly to my love Of the place. In
the evening we often took long
boat rides. sometimes carrying our
music books and singing on the water.
Here we would remain to watch the
sunset and talk or sing till the
gathering shadows and the fading sum
light told US that the day was fast
waning and night had come.
In the midst OF our pleasure at the
farm we were called home, and a
a week later we went camping. The
camp was about nine miles from home
and looked out over pretty Lake Ce-
dar. Behind it, about quarter OF
| mile, flowed the river on the edge oil
which was q small mineral spring.
The path to the spring was most
beautiful one. It mad probably once
been road through the woods to the
river, for the path was very wide, but
not covered with a velvety green man
| tel, and no team ever passed that way.
It seemed to grow prettier with every
step. The trees bordering it we're very

The Harlem race trace at Chicago
has been almost completely destroyed
by fire. Flames broke out in the grand
stand and soon spread TO the stables
where between 30 and 40 horses were
quartered in readiness for the Decora-
ton meet which was to have marked
the formal opening of the track for the
season. Incendiarism is given as the
origin of the fire and this theory is
emphasized by the recent destruction
of the Roby track under mysterious
circumstances. All u the horses at
the Harlem track were rescued. Loss,

fell on James Brumm, n well-known

ping with Mrs. Flagler just previous

his whereabouts are unknown. 1t

Ousy he committed the murder. Miss
Flagler was % years of age.
Later-The supposition that Brumm
committed the murder is correct He
turned up at his mothers home in Lam
sing on the 18th, and was delivered to
the officials by his brother, George.
After committing the murder Brumm
roamed the woods and was exposed TO

reached his mothers home. Officials
are of the opinion that Brumm will
not be brought to trial as he is doubt

Philippine Islands - The jews Have
Perfected a National Organization
A Chance for Farmers in the Philippines.


A report on the plant products of the
Philippine islands, just issued by the
agricultural department, is authority
for the statement that the Philippines,
although an agricultural country, do
not produce enough food for the con-
sumption of its inhabitants. In order
to supply the deficiency it, is the GUS
tom to draw upon other rice producing
countries, notably the French colony
of Cochin-China. No explanation Of
this condition is offered, the report
dealing exclusively with the agricul-
tural resorces of the islands as they
now exist. The report shows that the
area of the Philippine islands, one
ninth or about 5000, 600 acres, is de-
voted to agriculture. Taking into ac-
count the natural fertility of the soil
and the vast portion of these rich lands
not yet under cultivation it can safely
be assumed, it adds, that with better
methods of exploitation the total agri-
cultural production of the islands could
be increased to 10 or Is times its pres
ent amount.

Have Agreed Upon a Measure.

1t is understood that the house Re-
publican caucus committee, appointed
to frame a scheme of currency reform,
has agreed upon measure along the
following lines: The redemption of
all obligations of the government in
gold on demand; greenbacks, when
once redeemed for gold, to be reissued
only for gold; permitting national
banks to issue notes to the par value
OF their government bonds deposited
in the treasury, instead of 90 per cent,
as at present; permitting the minimum
capital of national banks to be SIS, 900.
instead of $50, 600, as at present This
plan is much less comprehensive than
ardent advocates of general currency
revision have urged, but was adopted
because harmonious agreement on it
was possible, which was not the case
when more radical measures were sug-
gested.
