A GOOD SHOWING.

Verify, the Baxter National Bank
is a Gibraltar of strength. The
business of the institution is grow
ing every day. The deposits are in
creasing, but they are protected
much better than the law requires
or contemplates. The'law requires
that Is percent of the deposits be
kept on hand. 1t will be seen by
the statement, which appears else
VIII ere, that fully so percent is on
hand. or more than three times
what is required.
The Baxter National Bank is the
strongest financial institution in
this section.

A BAD FIRE.
Mrs. Gregg's Fine Residence Burned
Sunday Night.

About 10 o'clock Sunday night
Mrs. Emma Gregg's handsome res
idence just west of the Frisco pas
sengcr station, was discovered on
fire. An alarm was sounded, and
although willing hands in great
plenty were soon on the scene,
nothing could be done toward cav
ing the building. Most of the goods
downstairs were gotten out, but al
most everything upstairs, includ-
ing clothing, was destroyed: Mrs.
Gregg. her aunt, and Mrs. Charlie
Collins, her daughter, and child
rem, escaped in only their night
clothes. Mr.. and Mrs. A. W. Abrams
took them all to their beautiful
home north of town where they
were made comfortable. Mr.. Col
lins was in Kansas City, having
gone away only few hours before
He was telephoned for, however,
and returned Monday.
The fire originated in the room OF
Pat Embree, a boy who worked on
the place, but just how it origin
ated is not known. Embree says
when he woke up his room was on
fire as was also his bed and his
clothes lying on chair close by.
The loss of the house and con-
tents amounted to probably $500
On the house was insurance to the
amount of $1,000 and on the contents
$500. The insurance was carried in
C. W. Daniels companies.
Mrs. Gregg and Mr.. and Mrs. Col
lins have rented and moved into
the Art building on Sheridan street

The city council, at special
meeting held Monday evening, in-
structed the city marshal to pro-
hibit shooting of fireworks inside
the fire limits. This action was ia
ken because the city has absolutely
no fire protection. While there is a
difference of opinion as to whether
the council should have made such
an order, the NEWS feels that it is
better to play safe. The fire limits
are small and the order will not
work hardship On anybody, ex-
ccpt possibly in a very small de-
gree upon the firewerks dealers.

And now it appears that there IS
nothing at all the matter with the
Kansas wheat crop. Secretary Co.
burn says the Kansas wheat crop

1OO,OOO,OOO bushels. This would be
a record breaker. The biggest yield
heretofore was in 1901, when 1t was

.PUSEL OIL LAW HITSHARD
Amounts to a Prohibition Of the
Sale Of Whisky, Says the
Court.

The Minnesota law which forbids
the sale of whisky containing fusel
oil amounts to a prohibitory law so
far as whisky is concerned: This was
the opinion expressed by Judge Dick
1nson In the municipal court yester-
day. 1t, was in the case OF. Nels Nell
son, afsaloonkeeper at 229 Washington
avenue S, tried for selling liquor which
contained fusel oil. According to the
testimony Of the states witnesses,
whisky secured in Nelson's saloon
upon chemical examination was found
to contain .35 of 1 per cent of fusel
oil. This was not denied by the de-
Tense, the only claim being that the
amount Of fusel oil contained in the
whisky was no more than normal.
Expert witnesses were sworn to show
that in raw whisky the amount Of
fusel oil contained ISL of one per cent
and that the whisky from which the
sample was taken was seven-year-old
stock direct from the government
warehouse.
Judge Dickinson took into consider
alton the fact that the whisky con-
tanned only a. normal amount Of amyl
alcohol for its age and made the fine
as low as possible, 81.
It is understood that the case will
be carried to the supreme court in an
effort to have, the law declared in
valid as it now operates as a prohibi-
ton. act upon the sale of all distilled
LIQUORS.

THE CANNON FALLS CASE.
It Will Be Taken Up by I. c. c.. in
St. Paul Next Sat
urday.

The interstate commerce commission
will hold a special session III st. Paul next
Saturday, to take evidence in the matter
Of the complaint of the Cannon Falls Eile-
vator company against the Great Western
and Milwaukee roads,.
The complaint alleges discrimination
against smaller cities, Cannon Falls In
particular, in regard to grain rates to Chi
cago and Milwaukee. 1t recites that the
rate on barley from Cannon Falls to Chi
cago and Milwaukee is Is cents. The rate
from Cannon Falls to Minneapolis and St.
Paul is Z cents, and the rate from Mime
apolis and st. Paul to Chicago and Mil
Waukee is IN cents. It is therefore half a
cent cheaper to send grain back to the
twin cities and there reship to Chicago,
than to ship direct from Cannon Falls.
This causes delay In shipments, and pre-
vents the elevator company from taking
advantage of the condition Of the market.
