Thomas diversion, an old resident of
this place, fell dead on the street Friday.
Death was caused by heart failure. He
leaves large number of relatives. The
funeral was held Monday afternoon.
A horse belonging to DR. G E Bilstad
was stolen Thursday night. A neighbor
suffered the loss of light wagon. The
theft occurred late Thursday night or
early Friday morning, probably the lat
ter time. The doctor was sleeping when
awakened at o'clock in the morning by
parties who needed his professional SER
vices at distance of some miles away.
He dressed and went to the barn to har-
ness his horse and found that the ami
NAL had been taken. He values the
horse at $3.50. With it had gone har-
ness worth $40, blanket valued at SO
and fine buffalo robe the owner con-
siders to be worth $50. It appeared from
the surroundings that the thieves tried
to take another horse, but this one was
balky and had to be left behind. 1t also
seemed to be evident that it was the in
| tention of the thieves at first to take the
| light spring buggy, but for some reason
| the light wagon of a neighbor was taken.
| Friday the horse was found loose on the
road near Lake Mills. The horse when
found was wandering by the roadside
three miles south of town. 1t is thought
| that the robbers drove it as far as they
could and then deserted it. Sheriff Bur-
meister says that he is satisfied that the
men who took the rig were burglars who
| intended to break into the Cambridge
bank, but was frightened away by dog
| that was on guard. A man whose at
| tention was attracted by the barking of
the dog saw four men coming from the
bank carrying small grips. The descrip-
| ton answers that of Dad Flynn, who
was recently acquitted Of charge of
| postofice burglary at Milwaukee.

hung when desired.
In dry colors We carry in stock three
shades of iron paint, also Eng. Venetian

ed by the Geo. W. Pitkin Co. of Chicago.
This paint has been used in this city for

posed largely of zinc, and every practical
painter will admit that zinc will outlast

more per gallon, will cover equally as
much surface, is as easily applied, and
will last longer than any other paint in
this market.
In oil, for painting, we handle only the
perfectly pure linseed, and as oil is the
life of paint, it pays to use only the best.
Use no extra oil, substitute oil, or any of
the cheap frauds, if you wish your paint
to last.
In varnishes we carry eight different
brands, and all from the best manufac-
turers. Snellac, ready for use, always in
stock. Window and picture glass, the

Dimsdale, lord mayor of London. made
the presentation in the course of
South African dinner which was at
tended by many notable persons. When
the enthusiasm had sufficiently sub
sided for Lord Kitchener to make him
self heard he modestly returned thanks
for the gift, and expressed the con-
tident hope that in South Africa. at
any rate, the sword would not again
be drawn from its scab5ard. Lord
Kitchener eulOgized Lord Miner, Brit

upon his intimate and personal friend

Referring to the mineral and agri-

Lord Kitchener said: You may assure

one more for his hearers than for him.
