Tuesday's Herald.

Tuesday'e Herald.
Fire early Monday morning in Fleming
q Leweaux's handsome drug store
caused several thousand dollars worth of
damage to stocS and fixtures. The
building in which the store is situated is
known as the syndicate block and is
owned by w. c. Leistikow, Joa. Tombs
and ]. ]. Mailer, Mr.. Leistikow owning
the north half Of the building, the corner
being occupied by Fleming & Lewaux,
drugs, and ]. L. Egleston, jewelry. Mr..
Leistikcw estimates that the damage to
the building will amount to between five
and seven hundred dollars; several plate
glass windows were cracked and broken
by the heat; fully insured. The big loss
comes on Fleming & Leweaux, who had
Il stock of drugs, oils, books, ETC., valued
at $500, insured for S., 600, divided be-
tween five companies, 1000 each, St.
Paul Fire and Marine, Manchester, North

the stock and fixtures, part of which are
a total loss, and part damaged by smoke
and water.
Mr.. Flemming had one of the finest
collections Of mounted elk, moose, and
deer heads, and cases of stuffed birds in
the state. His taxidermist work cost
HIM over 81, 900 and all the specimens ON
the walls outside of glass cases are ruin
ed. He carried $500 insurance on them
in the Connecticut Fire Company. The
cause of the fire is mystery. Smoke
was noticed in the store during the night
and vigorous search instituted, but its
origin could not be located. Mr.. Flem-
ming and the night watch remained at
the store and continued the search until
daylight. leaving about 5 O'Clock. They
had not gone far before an explosion oc-
Cured in the rear of the store near the
prescription department. The explosion
seemed to have thrown burning oil the
full length of the place. The fire depart
ment was called and by prompt work
the flames were soon under control.

what damaged, but fully covered by in.

Crystal Call.
]. A. Livingston passed through the
city the latter part of last week on his
way to Pembina from Milton. Joe is al
ways welcome visitor at Crystal.
This is year of strange and unusual
things-a year when wheat heads have
four and some say five kernals in bunch,
and forty-fve to the head; when single
flax stalks carry 200 blossoms the
strangest thing yet noted in this section
is the blooming of hawthorn tree in the
last days of July, in a grove of other
trees of its kind loaded with full grown
fruit. J.. J.. O'Sullivan relates such an
instance in his pasture, and would like-to
know if any significance attaches to it.
B. T. Bjornson happened with a pain
full accident Friday evening. While rid

Of town pedal struck root and he was
thrown violently to the ground striking
on his left shoulder, which was thrown
out Of joint. He walked to the nearest
house mile and a half distant, with his
arm hanging helpless by his side, and
from there was driven home. DR.. Nc
Queen relocated the joint, almost i'm
mediately after which the pain vanished
and aside from having his arm in a sling
the injured man appeared as we'll as ever
next day.
During the civil war. as we'll as in our
late war with Spain, diarrhoea was one of

had to contend with. III many instances
it became chronic and the old soldiers

Surplus Gold in Treasury.

Washington, Nov 3o-The largest
stock of gold coin ard bullion ever
held in the United States is now
accumulated in the treasury and iss
branches The total has been rising
steadily during the whole of the
present year and the amount is now
s474 ,10s, 1856, or about $4,000. 600
greater than at the close of 1899
The increase up to June 80, was
about s23 100000, but since that

for October and $17, ,000,0 900 thus far

ing to about $243, 600, 600 belongs to
to the treasury as part Of the
reserve fund of $3.50. 900. 900, or the
free fund of $93, 100000 in the gen.
eral cash. The influx of gold into
the treasury comes partly from the
pew gold from the Klondike aud
other mines, but it's retention is due
to the pressure for currency. which
leads to the acceptance of gold GER

preference to coin The treasury
has recently been shipping small
notes in large quantities to New Or

just before the outbreak of the
Spanish American war the vessel
was purchased by the navy depart
ment, fitted as an axiliary cruiser,
and rendered effective service as one
of the patrol feet, being manned in
part by the Michigan naval militia.
It is said that her anchorage at
Guam was off the harbor of San Luis
d'Apra, and tha: owing to her drfs
she wac obliged to lie six miles off
shore The harbor is particularly
dangerous one, owing to the exist
