MINNESOTA BUTTER.
1t Commands Attention in the Best
Markets of the World. 3d..

Minnesota butter is good enough to
complete with Danish butter in British
markets even after the influences of a
long sea voyage. 1t has done SO in
the past, and will probably do SO
again, according to State Creamery
Inspector B. D. White of the state
dairy and food department. Mr..
White recently returned from attend
ance at the monthly tests at Chicago,
held under the auspices. ..of the depart
ment of agriculture, at which he as
sisted in the scoring of butter.
The purpose of the butter testing is
to secure a butter which will hold up
for a long time under the present
method of storing. The butter, says
Mr.. White, is placed as nearly as pos
sibIe under the conditions which ii
would experience in being shipped
abroad. There it is kept time equa
to that needed for the shipment and
sale abroad, after which it is taker
out and rescored. By this means,
which are Identical with those lately
| put into effect by the Minnesota dairy
and food department, the best methoe
of manufacture is determined ant
recommended to the creameries.
Mr.. White says that butter has beer
shipped from Minnesota at variou
times in the past and has competed
successfully with the best Danisl
butter put upon the English markets
Four years ago firms at Albert Let
conducted regular export trade ant
their entire supply found ready sale il
English markets.
The demand grew as the Englisl
consumers became acquainted wit
the Minnesota product, but the trad
did not flourish long as the prices a
home rose to such an extent that
was more profitable to sell the pro
duct on the home market. Since the
the prices have kept SO high that tn
trade has not been resumed, althoug
the Minnesota firms handling tn
product have had repeated request
from British dealers for resumptio
of the trade.
"While the present prices for butte
hold OUT said Mr.. White, ether
will be no resumption of the trade.
J the market goes down to point thf
admits of shipping at pro
Minneota butter will find its way int
a renewed popularity in Englis
markets. .

LAUNDRY BURNED
The Union Steam Laundry is
Unfortunate.
The Stock and Much of the Machinery
Wiped Out, and Building Badly
Damaged.

The Union Steam laundry, J. @.
Limpert proprietor, at 113 North
Front street, was practically cleaned
out by fire Sunday morning. 1t had
been locked up at II 80 p. m. and
nothing was amiss at that time. At
10 30 a. m. the interior of the build
ing was seen by a young man named
Sheehan to be on fire, and he notified
Officer Vogel, who turned in an alarm
from box 20. By the time the alarm
was in, flames were bursting out of
he front of the building and the in
terror was fiery furnace. The fire
swept around the front and set fire to
the front woodwork on the adjoining
buildings on both sides, and made its
way to the second floor and through
the skylighU to the roof. 1t went so
rapidly that it seemed as through
an explosion must have occurred, yet
the gasoline can remained intact.
The fremen put on two streams of
water and soon had the blaze under
control. They made good stop.
During the excitement John Hager
stumbled over some hose and fell, dis
locating his left shoulder. DR..
Schmauss attended to his injury and
ne was reported today as doing we'll.
The fire seemed to have started in
the drying room. The engine room
was not visited by the flames, and no
damage was done there. Much of the
laundry machinery was destroyed or
damaged beyond repair. The fire was
80 hot that the stone trimmings under
the second story windows Clipped off
when water was turned on them.
Mrs. Abraham Lieb and daughter
occupied the second floor, and their
household goods were damaged by
smoke and water. She carried 500
insurance, which will not cover the
loss.
Mr.. Limpert carried 81, 500 insur-
ance on his machinery, stock, fixtures,
etc. The exact amount of his loss is
not known but it will be heavy. The
Friday and Saturday laundry coIlec-.
tions wree in the building, as we'll as
number of done up packages that
were awaiting their owners. The
amount of clothing sbeing lsundried
was not as much as at other times . of
the week.
The building was the property of
M. A. Sherk & Son.
M. A. Sherk & Son carried 81, 600
insurance T. A Sherk estimates t he
damage to the building at this amount.
The engine room and wash room
were untouched by the fire, but the
ironing room and Office were swept
clean.
The Star Steam laundry will take
some of Union Steam .laundry's work
this week.

"THE PRINCE" CUT IN.
Had Something to Say at the Union
Services Last Niqht.

The baccalaureate services at the
Presbyterian church Sunday evening
were interrupted by the same party
who created a sensation at the Metho-
dist and Christian churches week
ago yesterday. This man was setting
we'll back in the auditorium. but
the moment that DR.. Stillwell con-
cluded his sermon he hastened down
the aisle almost on run and mounted
the pulpit platform, where he faced
the audience and repeated some scrip
ture that amounted more to a jargon
Of words than anything having rele-
vancy to the occasion. He spread out
his arms as he spoke, and his voice
ascended to a. high pitch. Finally,
raising his right hand upward. he
spoke about some power that he pos
sessed. Then he seated himself with
the pastors on the platform, where --he
remained until the services were over.
An audible smile passed through the
audience as many recognized the man
from the previous Sunday.
A Free Press reporter followed the
eccentric individual from the church
and had an interview with him. The
man is of medium build, fairly we'll
dressed, is about fifty-6ve years of
age, and has an iron gray beard. He
was not very talkative, but stated in
reply to questions that his name was
"The Prince of Peace" and that his
home was Heaven. He said further
that his appearance on the program
was a surprise, but that he frequently
did this, although he did not cut in on
any of the morning services yesterday.
He said that he was not preacher,
but could do an act or two along that
line. He chuckled to himself as he
talked of what he did at the church,
and declared that he had spoken to the
point. He said he had felt like saying
something and so said it.
1t was learned that the man is an
umbrella mender and has been in he
city ten days. He is stopping at the
Stahl House where he is registered al
"God Love-" He appears to be un
balanced on the subject of religion.

WORK COMMENCED.
New Steam Heating Plant for the
Normal School.

The Moore Heating Co. of Mime
apolis, which has the contract for
putting steam heating plant in the
state normal school building, has
commenced work. VIM. Mitchell has
been given sub-contract for doing
the masonry and brick work, and has
men at work doing the necessary tear
ing out in the basement.
1t is the intention to lay a cement
walk in front of the normal school
property in case the council will re-
duce the width of the walk from eight
to six feet at its meeting tonight,
when the matter will be brought to
it's attention. The other walks on the
street are but six feet wide, and if it
was made wider it would come too
near to the row of trees.

LIKE A MIRACLE
Blind and Helpless from Paraly.
sis, This Man Now Sees,
Walks and Works.

John Hunter, of Orient street, Chico,
Butte Co., Calf, was blind and help
less paralytic, who had lost even the
power of speech. In the spring OF last
year he was pronounced incurable, but
now he can see, talk, walk and work.
To the San Francisco Examiner repre-
sentative he said:
"About four years ago was suddenly
stricken with paralysis. lost all sense
of feeling and all power OF movement In
my right side, from head to foot. also
partly lost the power OF speech. soon
became totally blind and was SO per.
| fectly helpless that for three years was
confined to my bed.
| tsDoctors diagnosed my case as loco
motor ataxia and my family physician
| gave me every care and attention pOssl-
/ Bile but all his prescriptions during two
years were powerless to alleviate my suf-
ferings or in any way afford the slight
est relief.
"After being virtually given up as q
dead man by friendsan physicians, and
resigning myself to my apparent fate, 1
determined to try DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. I mentioned it
to my doctor and he not only gave his
consent to my trying DR.. Williams Pink
Pills but strongly advised my doing SO.
"From blind, helpless paralytic, un,
able to move and so broken down and
hopeless that life was a burden, can
now walk, do any odd jobs about the
! place, go down town, and-most wonder
full of all-can see. And owe 1t all to
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Improvement began while was TAX
ing the second box. I continued taking
the pills and from that time on it was

troubles have disappeared, my eyesight
has been restored, my brain is cleal
: and active, and if ever a man should
be grateful and anxious that Others

then, raising his eyes from the ground,
whispered tragically, care you pre-

The attendant wasn't, and he caught
the suspicious one by the throat and
half throttled him. When the invalid
was recovering, it ''transpired" that he
was an amateur missionary inquiring
after everybody's spiritual needs.
