TWO YOUNG FIENDS.

On Sunday, July 3, while Mr.. and
Mrs Chas. Christensen, of Swan Lake
township, were absent from home,
two boys, one a son of Chris Aananson
and the other son of Ole Aananson,
went to their place and killed one
hundred young ducks, chickens and
turkeys, besides taking sharp stick
and punching the eyes out of three
hogs III a pen near the barn. This is
the meanest and most contemplate
piece of work we have been called up
on to chronicle for some time The
boys are eleven years of age and old

WHY HE RESIGNED.

A week or two ago we noted the
resignation of Rev. Ralph Sargent, a
Mason City pastor. He gives as his
reason that his failing strength will
not permit him to keep up the pace
which so large work demands,
Since his coming there two years ago
he led the choir, attended nearly
every meeting of the church and
young people. rebuilt the church
building, raising debt of Sl5, 900 and
added 200 to the membership. He is
accredited with being the best singing
preacher in the denomination. Dur
ing his residence there he has also
been president of the State Christian
Endeavor Society for two terms, an
unusual honor.

LUCKY MAIL CARRIER.

An exchange says that Fred Meyers,
rural mail carer at Carroll, has
some apprecative patrons on his route.
Last week one farmer hauled him a
load of hey to feed his horse, another
did likewise short time previous,
another hauled him ten bushels of
oats and another gave him good sup
ply of vegetables. If all the rural
patrons were like these they wonld
get better service and there would be
no danger but that it would prove q
success,

SOWING THE wHIRLwIND.

What seemed to rs pitiable sight
was presented in our town Tuesday
afternoon by an intoxicated man walk
ing up the street In company with his
two sons, to whom he had given drink
until they were scarcely able to walk.
The elder boy was probably about five
years of age and the younger one was
about three, both of the little fellows
had bright appearance and 1t SEEM
ed hard to realize that father could
possibly sink so low In the scale Of
humanity as to put the Intoxicating
cup in their hands and start them so
early in life OH the path to ruin. 1t
will be hard matter for these little
fellows to overcome the inherent taste
within them, and to have the appetite
craving before they know its conse-
auences, will certainly be a terrible
hold back in life. The case should be
locked into by the authorities and ii
the outrage is again practiced. the
children should be placed in other
keeping. Nashua Post.

A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT.

The opera mouse company last week
declared the first dividend in the
history of the organization. The
amount paid was per cent When
the opera house movement was first
started there was a number of persons
who predicted that it would never
pay. The house and furnishings have
cost nearly $500, the amount OF
capital stock subscribed was 5000,
the difference between what it cost
and the amount paid in for stock has
been paid, all the expenses OF the
house have beer kept up and those
interested today have property that
is worth over 5000. Next year it is
expected to pay all the way from IL
to Is per cent on the stock subscribed.

Little Journeys in Colorado.

There is Colorado's greatest attrac-
tion-the number and variety of the
one-dsy excursion trips it offers.
Denver has at least dozen that are
worth while: "Around the loop" to
the summit of Pixies Peak to Cripple
Greek; to Colorado Springs and Mani
tou; to Platte Canon to Fort Collins,
Greeley and Boulder.
he famous "Around the Circle"
trip takes considerably longer -four
or five days. 1t costs $2S, and is near
ly a thousand miles long. No trip in
America surpasses it in beauty or in
terest.
Denver, Pueblo and Colorado
Springs are best reached from all
points east by the fast and splendidly
equipped trains of the Rock Island
System. Exceedingly low rates to
Colorado are now in effect.

A PROBLEM IN INSURANCE.

President Linn of the Butler Coun-
ty Mutual Insurance Company reports
a strange case his company has been
called upon to settle, due to lightning,
says the Parkersburg Eclipse. Wesley
Williamson, who resides on the Bis
bee farm ear Arlington, recently had
a COW struck by lightning but not
killed. At the time she was giving
plenty of tnilk, but since she has not
given drop. For week after receiv-
ing the shock she refused to eat, but
is again on full feed, but no milk
comes. Secretary Perrin of the same
company states that he had a colt
which suddenly became stiff in its
Joints, and has since remained in that
condition, from what cause he has
been unable to determine, but thinks
that the lightning has had something
to do with it, 1t the case of the COW,
it is an extremely hard proposition
for the company to settle the actual
amount of damage suffered by Mr..
Williamson. He still has his COW,
but is out his summers supply of
milk. The company will endeavor to
make a satisfactory settlement of the
claim, however. -Clal ksville Star.

WRECK NEAR NEW HAMPTON

A southbound freight train on the
Great Western Wednesday afternoon
Incoupled north of Devon and when
the first section stopded, the second,
coming down grade at q high speed,
crashed into it with deadly effect.
The last car of the first section was
occupied by Italian laborers as was al
so the first car of the last section. In
one of the cars was Hans Nelson, fore
man of the Italian crew, his wife and
two little daughters. One of the Mel
son girls and an Italian were killed
instantly and two others died later OF
wounds. Mrs. Nelson's leg was broken
and nearly every one of the twenty
four Italians was more or less injured.
The Gazette says the scene at the
wreck was heart rending. Italians lay
stretched groaning on every hand, un-
able to make themselves understood
as to injuries while their companions
made pathetic picture as they stood
beside their MANNED brethren or
searched among the wreckage for
their personal effects. Most pitiful of
all was the grief and suffering of Mrs.
Hans Nelson, wife of foreman Nelson,
rs she sat on the ground with a
MANNED leg beside the body of her
dead babe and nursing the eldest girl,
whose clothing was crimsoned from a
wound upon the head. Her cries for
the little one so suddenly torn from
her were heart-rending and few among
the onlookers but were melted to tears
at the sight.
