RICE HOTEL BURNED.
tn 70 Northern Pacific Hotel at
That Place Destroyed ~ /.
E}E
by Fire. %%

st. Cloud Journal-Press: At ~
O'Clock the Northern Pacific hotel
at Rice, in Benton county, burned to
the ground. The origin OF the fire
was in the shed to the rear but there
is no saying how it started. The
first alarm was given by the engineer
OF Northern Pacific freight train
which pulled in from the west. The
fire was burning merrily but con
tinued blowing of the whistle
aroused the occupants and people
living near by, and they succeeded in
saving part of the contents of the
burning building, but the hotel
itself was burned to the ground in the
absence oil adequate fire protection.
The hotel was occupied by William
Pratt as landlord but was owned by
L. F. Martin, formerly of this city.
Mr.. Pratt is understood to have
carried no insurance on his furniture
and other household articles and his
loss is about $1,000. Mr.. Martin II
is said carried $4,000 insurance or
the hotel and his loss is of course i1
excess of that sum. 1t is question
able il the hotel is rebuilt.

A Mother Tells How She Saved Her
Little Daughner,s Life.

am the mother of eight children
and have had a great deal of exper-
fence with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had the dysentery
in it's worst form. We thought she
would die. tried verything I
could think of, but nothing seemed
to do her any good. I saw by an
advertisement in our paper that
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea remedy was highly recon-
mended and sent and got a bottle at
once. 1t proved to be one of the
very best medicines we ever had in
the house. 1t saved my little daugh-
ter's life. I am anxious for every
uother to know what an excellent
medicine it is. Had l known it at
first it would have saved me a great
deal OF anxiety and my little daugh-
ter much suffering-Yours truly.

Herr. Medved Relents.

Peter Medved announces that he
will not appear in the cases against
the men arrested for working on the
market sheds Sunday, against whom
he made complaint in justice court
Monday. The men, A. D. Harri-
son, 7. J. Martin and Grobo Houde,
were arrested by deputy sheriff,
but secured a weeks adjournment
of the case. 1t is to come up on
Monday next. Mr.. Medved now
says that he does not desire to prose-
cute the men, and that he got out
the warrents because he was urged
to. Now the men who urged him to
get out the warrants should take up
the matter, since Medved has weak
ened in his plan to vindicate the law,
his hackers should show the stuff
they are made of by taking open
part in the case. Medved got a
good start to make record in this
matter, and his funk is very disap-
pointing.
But he may change his mind again
in a day or two. Some one may
urge him, and that should brace him
a little.

you claim, and you ought to play
the game.
You do q great deal of good, ifyou
don't change your mind too often.

A Coming Industry.

Brainerd Dispatch: The farmers
OF Crow Wing county are now Offer
ed an opportunity to dispose of
what has heretofore been known as
the almost worthless crop of wire
grass which tbrives in various por-
tions of the county. The managers
of the institution which uses this
commodity in the manufacture of
rugs, rope, binding Irvine, etc., are
in the city, and have opened up an
office in the Arlington hotel for the
purpose OF ascertaining what guam
tity and at what price the wire grass
can be obtained here. Two factories
are now in operation, one in Min
neapolis and one in West Superior,
and the amount that will be con-
tracted by these gentlemen is prac-
tically unlimited. At Kimberly 40
self rakes, 20 binders, so teams and
70 men are wanted to take care o
the grass which is read y to cut, and
on Wednesday next the gentlemen
will take a party free of expenses to
that place to show them their ex-
tensive operations. The industry is
one that not only consumes the use
less wire grass, but it pays labor
and makes cheap binding Irvine for
the farmers, and is bound to revolu-
tiOnize the latter business. In case
the outlook will warrant it here
l;.r.@e sieuS will he built to receive the
grass. 1t is a matter worth the at
tentiOn OF our farmer friends.

Not a Record Breaker,

Reports from farmers from differ
ent parts of the county show plainly
that the yield and quality of the
wheat crop will not be what was
expected by many. The damage is
generally attributed to the period. OF
hot weather following July 20. The
kernels were greatly shrunken espe-
cially on high land, and the complete
filling of the heads was prevented.
1t will be generally a good crop, but
not near the yield that was promis-
ed up to the middle of July, and, OF
course, not equal to the big yield
of three years ago.
