TOPPER, dangerous insane patient at
the county poor farm has escaped and
the authorities and citizens are
anNiously looking for him. Christopher
became crazed over christian science.
He had a headache cured by the rub

the marvellous cure, brooded over it till
he became insane. The first indication
his family had of his insanity was when
they found him in the back yard where
he had tied the pet COW. to whom he
was expounding Mrs. Eddy's publica-

and was at last taken into custody.
From there he has written TO his family
that if he ever escaped he would kill
them and it is feared he will commit
some violence before he is captured.

Special to es-Republican.
Nevada. Aug. 19-The speediest time
ever made in Story county was wit
messed yesterday in the races on the
last day of the fair. The most notable
event was the 2:17 pace, in which both
Auntie Shucks, the famous Nevada
mare, and Harry S, Ed Aliens bay
horse from Marion were entered. Six
horses We're booked to start. but only
three lined up, the TWO above an
nounced and Minnie Johnson, likely
black mare owned by j. f. Stevens of
Wymore, Neb. Auntie Shucks drew the
pole and went off like shot, but broke
at the turn and was passed by her OPP
ponents Her owner, F.. r. Silliman,
acted as her driver, and was unable to
bring her to her feet In time to win the
heat, which went to Harry S, with
Minnie Johnson a close second. The
second heat was a repetition of the
first, Auntie Shucks breaking again at
at the turn and losing to Harry S. L,
is supposed that the weight of her
driver was the cause of her conduct.
Matt Bibbtns, formerly well known In
this part of the country. but lately of
| Watertown, s. D.. happened to be pres
ent and was secured by Mr.. Silliman to
drive Auntie Shucks the rest of the
race. 1t was at once evident that the
tfavorite of the day was in the hands of
an expert, for the third heat went to
Auntie Shucks in 2:14la: Harry S fin
ishing length behind. The fourth heat
| also passed to her credit. the time be-
| Ing 2:13. This is the best record ever
made in Story county, Auntie Shucks'
exhibition mile on Wednesday being
made in 2:l4 instead of 2:12, as first re-
ported. The fifth heat, 2:131s, was
thrown to Auntie Shucks by her two
contestants giving her the race, Harry
S second and Minnie johnson third.

Nashua, Aug .19.-The big Touring
mill Of the Nashua Water Power Com
pany, located on the Cedar river at this
place, caught fire from some unknown
cause about noon yesterday and in spite
OF the most heroic Efforts to arrest the
progress of the fire the structure was
burned to the ground in a short time
and even it's contents could not be
saved.
The mill was five stories in height
and was one OF the most finely equipped
mills in the state. 1t was owned by a
company of citizens and farmers and
was the principal industry OIL the city.
The fire was one Of the most destruc-
tive in the history of the city and the
loss caused by it is the more keenly
felt inasmuch as many will be thrown
out of employment and TIE whole COM
munity will suffer. The loss is esti-
mated at 100000; insurance, $1,000.
The fire, which started on the fourth
floor, quickly spread to all parts of the
building, throwing out intense heat.
which made the work of saving sur
rounding buildings arduous in the ex-

mill. We're saved from destruction.

On another occasion the teacher af-
firms that transitiye verb must have an
object. thus. il you break, you must
break something cheerfully invites
the class to put break" into sentence

anxiously, You see didn't break the
