F. B. Dennie & Co., Minneapolis, MINI.
Gentlemen: I have heard so many
of the large stock-growers who are
using your brand of strychnine or wolf
poison speak Of it so highly, and after
careful inquiry satisfying myself that
it is the only poison on the market
worthy of recommendation, 1 wish to
ask you if you will not thoroughly
advertise it that all will use the same
and soon do away with this greatest
of all pests to stockgrowers.
You should have a big sale for it I
am fully convinced, and l am positive
if you will make it's superior quality
known all will use it. l have heard
enough to satisfy me that it is worthy
of endorsement by all who are inter-
ested in the welfare of the stock
grower. Your respectively

afternoon and evening during the con-

Wednesday is to be devoted to the
competitive drills, the first that have
been given under the auspices of the

F. B. Dennie & Co., Minneapolis, MINI.
Gentlemen: l herewith enclose
check for $4,000 for 40oz. strychnine
which l purchased from your agent,
F. D. Derby, this spring.
After giving the same a most
thorough test | am pleased to say
that it is the best %strychnine that I
have seen in twenty years. Ny men
and wolfers nave had most excellent
results by constant use of the same.
Mr.. Lindsey, one of my men got 81
wolves with three bottles and their
carcasses were found all the way
from six to one hundred feet from the
bait.
l heartily recommend this strychnine
to all stockmen, and hope that you will
push the sale of it, as the wolf is n
of the greatest pests to the stock
grower, and for me I have found this
a most practical method of Kidding my
range of the same, and if it is good for
me it must be good for Others. Next
year I expect to place an order for a
larger quantity. Very respectfully,
OSCAR STEPHENS.

afternoon and evening of the week.
Spacious court rooms surrounding

receptions.
On Tuesday morning the formal
opening of the triennial will take place
with the great parade. Maj. John H.

will be made promptly at $50 o'clock
Central standard time) from the in
tersection of Seventh and Main
streets.
The route of the parade is about
three and one-half miles in length,
much of the distance being through
the handsome residence sections of
the city where shade trees touch
branches above the thoroughfares.
Moving east from the starting point
the column will pass up Main street
to Brook, receiving the officers and
members of the grand encampment at
the Gait house; the line of march
then leads south on Brook to Market;

Immediately following the parade
the sessions of the grand encampment
will commence at the Girls high
school, corne Of Fifth and High

Lucrative sessions of the grand body
will extend over a period of four days.
One question likely to come up for
the consideration of the grand en-

last night. After the train left FL

the train screaming that some one

her were two sons, aged IA and II,
who were afflicted the same way as
the mother.
The passengers were terrorized and
the trainmen had the greatest diff
Guilty in restraining them. When the
train reached here the woman made
a dash and with her hand smashed the
large glass in the car vestibule and
jumped from the train, followed by
the two boys. They ran a block and
then rushed into the Corning club,

Dear Sirs: After using forty ounces
of your %strychnine or wolf poison this
fall and winter, we take great pleasure
in saying that it is the best poison we
have ever seen or used. We get more
wolves and coyotes with an ounce
bottle of it than we generally get with
a dozen of the common grades.
When all stockmen realize that this
poison is all that is claimed for it.,
and use it as we will continue to do,
we will then have less wolves to con-
tend with. We hope you will advertise
this poison and push the sale of it as
the wolf question is a problem which
we all have to deal with alike.
Yours, respectfully,

NEARLY ASPHYXIATED.

Mr.. George Bolts, farmer, So years
old, of Scarboro, Hartford county, mar.
rowly escaped death from asphyxiatior
by Illuminating gas last night at the
residence of Mr.. Oliver ]. Stalling, 300
South Ann street, where Mr.. Bolts was
visiting.
Mr.. Bolts retired shortly before mid
night, and at the suggestion of Mrs.
Sailing took candle, as he said he was
not familiar with the use of gas. About
1 o'clock this morning Mr.. Stalling's son
heard Mr.. Bolts groaning, but he was
not alarmed. About $50 o'clock he
again awoke and detected the odor OF
gas, which seemed to come from Mr..
Bolts room.
The family were aroused and the door
broken open, and Mr.. Bolts was found
on the bed unconscious. He remained in
this condition nearly an hour, but was
finally resusitated.
After recovering, Mr.. Bolts said that
when he went to his room he determined
to light the gas, which it was found he
had not turned entirely off.-SATURDAY's
