Careful weighing, it is said, shows
that an ordinary bee. not loaded,
weighs the five-thousandth part of a
pound, so that it takes 5000 bees to
make n pound. But the loaded bee,
when it comes in fresh from the
fields and flowers, freighted with
honey, often weighs three times more.

Nearly Froze to Death.

Last Friday Albert Olson and James
Cook, living near Harmony, Mimi ),
came to Decorah, and spent the day
trading and transactiDg other business.
Along in the afternoon they visited
some of the saloons and became some-
what intoxicated. AT about the supper
hour Albert Olson was seen lying on
the ground near the Volding feed barn
back of the National Hotel and Mar
shall Whealman was notified and took
him to Jail, and DR.. Amy was called
and upon examination found that all
the fingers on the right hand were
frozen, as well as three fingers of the
left hand, his forehead and cheek. He
was taken care of uutil the next day,
but it will be some time before he re-
covers from his experience, and it is
barely possible that it will be necessary
to amputate his hand. At best it was
a narrow escape fiom death from freez-
ing, which certainly would have fol-
lowed had he not b Ell discovered.

Promise a Fine Show.

"Rudolph and Adolph" was written
and constructed upon much different
lines than Broadhurst's two other great
successes, "What Happened to Jones"
and "Why Smith Left Home" and he
was in doubt as to how the public
would take to it. By concealing the
identity of the author he did not risk
his reputation in case of failure, and If
the piece was a success he would re-
ceive just as much profit, if not as
much glory. Broadhurst is well
known and his success is indeed graft
flying to his host of friends. Now that
he has admitted the authorship of the
farce the latter will be received with
even greater favor than before. The
name of successful author carries a
great deal with it, no matter whether
the piece has any merit to it or not.
Happily, in this case, "Rudolph and
Adolph" proves to be the best comedy
that Broadhurst has yet turned out, and
it can only add to the lustre of his al
ready famous name.
Messrs. Broadhurst and Currie have
given the farce most pretentious cast,
which fact has had great deal to do
with its phenomenal success. In the
title roles are Dan and Charles Mason,
without question the best German
comedians on the American stage.
Lottie Williams Salter, great favorite
with playgoers everywhere, heads
the feminine contingent in the SOU
hrette role. Others in the big cast in
clude such well known artists as
Beatrice Mckenzie, Nellie Maskel,
Lew H. Newcomb, VIM O'Day, Es.
telle Gilbert, Gloria Alonza, the Law
renee sisters, Samuel Mirfield and a
very attractive chorus. The full COM
pany will be seen at the Grand Dec 30.

No. 81.


The report of Dun & Co. for the past
week indicate that wages are at the
highest point ever attained, and that
this country has never in its history
been so prosperous. 1t says "It is most
fortunate that the vagaries of specula-
ton are not always deleterious to legit-
innate business. Railway stocks fell
sharply yet the full returns for Novem-
ber show that the earnings were lis
per cent greater than in the same
months last year and 1871 per cent over
those of 1899. Industrial and traction
shares were even more violently dis
tributed and yet manufacturing plants
were never more fully occupied.
The numerous labor controversies
have been settled and the rate of wages
is at the highest point ever attained.
The retail distribution is of massive
proportions with dealings in holiday
goods a conspicuous feature. This class
of business so far surpasses all previous
records that it alone gives unmistak-
able indication of the nations prosper
ity even ifotber more definite measures
were not available. The dry goods
market is quiet with no urgency to
force sales and the prices of some lines
are higher. Wool is readily taken at
unchanged prices. Western grain pro-
ducers and dealers have expressed great
faith in the future of prices many an
nouncing their intention to hold sup
plies until spring, when the scarcity
would be marked and quotations reach
more profitable point"

Eliza Was Surprised.

A good story is told of farmer who
wore his old suit till every one was
tired of it, and his estimable wife was
almost ashamed of the hustling far
mer who had been inside it so long.
But one day while selling produce in
town he determined to buy new suit
and, happy thought, surprise Eliza.
So he bundled a new suit in the wagon
aud drove homeward. 1t was after
night as he hurried home, and at the
bridge he stood up on the wagon and
"peeled" and threw the despised old
suit in the river. Then he reached for
his clothes. They were gone--had
jolted out of the wagon. The night
was cold and his teeth chattered as he
skurried for home. He surprised
Eliza" even more than he anticipated.

TELEGRAPHIC. MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, Dec. 14-Those going
over night short Of wheat had cause
for alarm this morning and before
their. lines were covered 773sc was bid
for May. At this point those having
wheat took profits and decline of 1c
followed. News was scarce and in
the absence of same the outsiders were
again induced to get out from under
the market as prices to them seem
high, and so far as we are able to as
certain there are no other reasons.
Gables failed to respond to Yesterdays
advance which with realizing sales
only sees tonight's close about half
lower than yesterday.
Corn shortly after the opening of
the session was. in good demand at Csc
but those instrum entail in the bulge
feltAthat Saturday was a good time to
take their profits. and the markets
eased off &c. Receipts will decrease,
we believe, from now on, but the grad
ing should improve. Closed 1sc above
yesterdays price.
Oats in early trading sold at 46Ac
which looked inviting to longs with a
profit in sight. Owing to the COM
parative price of oats with wheat we
are unable to see where shorts could
hope for any material decline in the
Nav option, with the cash article so
strong. Large operators having con-.
troll of the May oat deal are conserva-
tive as has been demonstrated and are
making profitable turns about 45 cents
which is a bull card, Closing Nc be-
low yesterdays price.

the London correspondent of The Tri-

Lord Kitchener had not to wait long
for some result from his new plan of
operations against General Botha by
constructing e line of blockhouses be-
tween GTeylingstadt. on the Natal
Johannesburg railway, and Brugspruit.
on the Delagoa Bay line. He has Gen
eral Botha's force enclosed in an area
of 10000 square miles. with, roughly
speaking. 100 miles of protected rail-
way forming the north side, 100 miles
of blockhouses the west side. 100
miles Of railway the south side and the
Swaziland border the east side. Over
this restricted country the British col;
umns are nc'w moving and Lord Kitch-
ener is enabled to report the capture
of practically the whole Bethel COM
mando. AS in the case of the capture
of the laager at Oshoek last week
General Hamilton surprised the COM
mando after a night march Lord
Kitchener sent the news from Stander-
ton, where he presumably went to
direct the operations.
A correspondent of The Times, tele-
graphing from Pretoria. says the Boer
force which concentrated under Dewet
in the Orange River Colony and was
hovering around the line of block
houses between Kroonstad and Lind
ley, has been broken up by Broadwood
