between the engine and the train to
disconnect the air tubes which oper-
ate the brakes, when his trousers
caught in such manner as to throw
his ankle under the slowly moving
engine. His ankle was crushed and
his leg torn. Medical assistance was
procured but the local doctor only
bandaged the wound and sent the

strain and then expired,

Freight on Dirt.

The farmers of tue Northwest little
realize the enormous sums of money
contributed to the yearly rail
! road receipts by shipping dirty wheat
and other dirty grains to market,
1t would seem that If they did,
steps would be taken to cIsan grain
at the farm, and even though it were
not possible to feed the foul seeds. il
would appear as though it would paw
to clean the grain and burn the
screenings.
During the year ending Aug. 81
there was received at Duluth 3613,-
zoo bushels of wheat dirt and $4,000
bushels of flax dirt at which at which
on average freight rate of IA cents
per 100 pounds, there was paid ia
freight $36O,OOO.
More than two-thirds of this stuff
was burned here to get rid of It; the
balance about 1900 cars or 10000
tons was sold to feeders as screenings
netting about $15O,OOO.
Here is value of $5OOOO0 yearly
contributed by the country to waste.
Probably the figures for Minneapolis
would run up as much more.
$l,OOO'OOO seems too large sum to
oe wasted in that way.-Daily Market

The store is as old as Kiron itself and as
reliable and progressive. On the day of
our visit to the city this store was
thronged with customers, many store
in cities ten times the size would be glad
of such trade. Mr. G. A. Norelius,

known and best liked of Kiron people.
The store is located just opposite the

the large stock of toys and holiday goods
on hand. Dry Goods, Dress Goods, !
Ribbons, Silks, Cloaks, Clothing, Boots
and Shoes, Patent medicines. Wall'
