|. The St. Anthony & Dakota
Elevator was burned to the ground
on Tuesday evening last, together
with seven or eight thousand
bushels of wheat. The fire was
first discovered in the cupola of
the building and is supposed to
have originated from combustion
caused by friction which had
generated gass from the fine dust
particles amongst the machinery
at the top of the elevator. R. w.
Walker the agent and his as
sistants had been loading cars all
day and the elevating part had
been in constant operation. The
building was erected in the year
of 1884 by a stock company COM
posed of farmers and the business
people of the town, but had no
elevating attachment until the fall
of 1886, when it was bought by
the St. Anthony & Dakota Ele-
votor company. 1t was providen-
tial that the wind at the time of
the fire was from the northeast.
If it had been directly in the
north and a strong breeze, nothing
could have saved the greater part
of the town.

Catarrh.

Catarrh is n of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
cific cures Catarrh permanently, foritis
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.

Unhappy Marriages.
By Laura Jean Libbey.

The cause Of many a marriage prov
ing disastrous is generally due to the
headlong haste some people make to
plunge into nlatrinony. With many
women, to wed seems the one object IN
life of absorbing interest.
If these women studied out the suit
ability of the match all would be Well,
but unfortunately that thought never
occurs to them. Where the bread and
butter are to come from after Wedlock
never enters their calculations.
The thrifty, prudent working girl
who has laid by a tidy little sum for
future wants seems to utterly ignore
the fact that the man of her choice
should lave been equally as frugal and
be able to show up a larger bank &C
count than hers.
In order to marry she is willing to
put up the capital, trusting to luck and
to hubby dear for the future.
{ In such cases it is by no means I'M
usual for her to find that she is leaning
On a broken stick and that marriage is
BY no means the Dlissful event she so
%glowingiy pictured it in her fond mag
nation. The primrose path of life is
soon overrun with weeds and brambles.
After the first rosy blush of infatuation
IS over she comes down from the airy
height through which h has been
soaring OF loves wings and finds out
the truth of the situation.
She is not only out her hoaTdings of
a lifetime, but her duties and drudger-
les are increased Il thousand-fold; and
to the last day of her life it is a val
ian struggle to keep the wolf Of pow
arty and starvation from the door.
From year to year her liege lord does
not succeed In accommodating a single
dollar for a rainy day and old age.
No man should think of marrying
unless he has the wherewith to at least
furnish the hoEae-pe that furnishing
ever so modest.
If the woman takes it upon herself
to do this part Of the mans duty she
need V expect to ave that much
money in her possession again, unless
she tolls for it as she did before.
If the man is worth the price b
has given for him, we'll and good; he1
marriage is not a failure. Otherwise
she discovers that love is excellent, IN
deed, a most essential part of marriage
but that it must have the foundation
of money on the mans side as we'll a.
sweet words and air castles.
No woman should rush headlong int
marriage. When a woman gets tn
idea firmly Undecided into her min'
that she is getting along in years, an
thai it behooves her to put on the mat
rimonial yoke quickly if she woul
wear it at all, she il in grave danger
she is blind to all reasoning, deaf t
all advice; she will have the grea
reasure- man-let the cost be VIVA
it may.
When suffering and sorrows come t
such women in after years they canno
expect much sympathy from the prac
teal world. They chose not wisely
they have only themselves to blame.
1t is to be hoped that their example
will prove a ~valud0le lesson and con
tain a grave warning to future gen
erations.

Betrotha1s Are Sacred.
BY Laura Jean Libbey.

"Do young women consider betroth.
ais sacred?"
The right kind of young girls do. Aye,
to them the betrothal is quite as SOL
emn and as binding as the marriage
vow.
It is anything rather than clever to
boast Of having been betrothed three
or -four times, my dear girl.
The young man who listens to you.
instead of approaching you the more
for being able to bring other men tC
your dainty feet and drawing proposals
from them, concludes to keep as far
from you as possible, no matter how
much he may admire you, lest he may
be made the fifth victim for you to
laugh at and boast over.
He also reaches The conclusion thai
you are not SO very attractive after all,
or these young men, who must have
had good common sense, would not
have been SO conteTted to let you drift
past them on life's ocean.
The shaIloW-hearted cOquette counts
her conquests by the score, as the IN
dams count the scalps hat dangle from
their belts as trophies of their victor
les.
The dear, sweet, old-fashioned maid
ems, with hearts gentle, loving and ten
der, always have believed and always
will believe in the sacredness of the be-
trotha1 vows they utter.
With her these words are not mere
lip service, but come straight from the
depths Of her heart.
Love-making with her is very earn
est She believes all hat her lover
tells her as she believes in Heaven
and she means every shy, sweet WORD
she utters in response.
With such girls, to love once is to
love forever.
Should anything happen to disturb
the sweet, golden love never
blooms a second time in their faithful
hearts.
They are always true to the idea
which they have enshrined in thei1
hearts, there to remain until life closes
The woman who does not conside.
betrothals sacred could never be trust
ed fully as a wife. Be careful in you
choice of a lover, my dears, and to tina
lover be true.
Bring your husband, when you mar
~, a heart which beats for him alone
not one whose walls are covered b.
the pictures memory c%onjures up Q
past loves.
