A Bad Fire.

An early morning fire, wiped out
the Opera House block at Elk River,
the biggest building in the town,
caused loss of $4,000, partially COW
cred by insurance of $36,S00.
The flames were discovered at 3
o'clock in the morning in the basement
Mercantile Company and rapidly
spread through the block.
The volunteer fire department was
inadequate to the emergency, as mod
ern apparatus was lacking, but the
citizens worked like Trojans to stay
the flames, and by the time apparatus
arrived from Minneapolis the fire was
practically out.

The medicine the doctor gave me

Bold Bandits.

Within a stones throw of police
headquarters, Minneapolis, two des-
peradoes entered saloon, and, at the
point of a revolver, commanded James
Vasey, the proprietor of the place, to
throw up his hands.
Vasey did as he was commanded.
One of the robbers covered him with
his revolver while his accomplish
jumped behind the bar and rifed the
cash drawer of it's contents.
simultaneously, Detectives Crum-
mey and Brown pushed into the sa-
loon through a rear door and, with
drawn revolvers, halted the two rob-
bers and commanded them to drop
their weapons. One of the despera-
does, VIM. English, who had been COW
ering Vasey with his gun while his
associate was gathering up the cash,
wheeled around and pointed his revol-
yer directly at Detective Crummey.
One of the robbers was caught but
the other escaped.

A Gamblinu Raid.

The city council and police force
made a raid on the Northwest Hotel
at Tracy and bagged an elaborate
gamblers outfit. The floor of the room
in which the paraphernalia was found
was thickly covered with heavy quilts
and blankets, to prevent any noise
from reaching adjoining rooms. War
rants have been issued for the arrest
of the gamblers. A confederate gave
them the tip before the papers could
be served and they Immediately left
for parts unknown. One of the saloon
keepers is under surveillance for run
ming gambling-room. If the case can
be proven his license will be demanded
Immediately. Mayor Burlingame and
the council are determined to rid the
town of the gambling fraternity.

the first symptoms of catching cold
he should at once begin the use of
Peruna according to directions on
the bottle, and the cold is sure to
pass away without leaving any bad
effects.
Unless this is done the cold is al
most sure to end in the second stage
of catarrh, which is making so
many lives miserable. If Peruna
was taken every time one has cold
or cough, chronic catarrh would be
practically an unknown disease.
Miss Elizabeth Uber, No. 81 Bassett
street, Albany, N. Y, writes:

to catch cold, when catarrhal trouble

CEMENT STONES.
ANY Farmer Can Make and Use Them
For Farming Purposes

n ma
For Farming Purposes.
Comparatively inexpensive machines
have been produced which, when used
by even the ordinary laborer, can pro-
.duce cement stone of varying sizes at
a cost of II to 90 per cent less than
kiln run brick and in the east at the
same cost as lumber.
The stone can be made to resemble
cut stone, thus giving an added beauty
TO the building. Three hundred pounds
of cement and one yard of gravel will
make about thirty-seven stones s by 10
by 20 at cost of 10 cents each, S33. 3.7O.
even estimating your labor at 81. 80 per
day, which will take the place of 800
brick at cost of $S per thousand.
S64O. Any farmer can make them. If
costs less to lay these stones than il
does brick or stone. The inside of the
wall can be plastered with a thin coat
of cement, thus making the wall and
floor one unit. 1t therefore must be alb
sOlutely air tight.
Cement stones do not decay, will en-
dure for generations. are impervious to
moisture, are cheaper than any other
building material save lumber and
taking into consideration their endur-
ing qualities, are even cheaper than
lumber and can be made by any ordi-
nary farm laborer. The building does
not require painting, which is a saving
in original construction and mainte-
nance. The use of cement stone for
building purposes is no experiment. as
many large factories, power houses
cold storage plants and residences have
been erected of cement stone. The dai
~ building at the Toronto industrial
exposition, Toronto, is constructed of
Portland cement stone and is highly
recommended by the Canadian COM
missioner of agriculture. So saws
Rural New Yorker writer. who gives
further information as follows:
The composition is usually six parts
SAND and one part cement. Secure

small amount of sand. Do not screen
DO not use sand or gravel that has anv
surface dirt hardpan or clay or anv
particles of decayed wood or other for

foundation wall the byproducts of a
stone quarry or even cinders or refuse
from miaes may be used. This means
q source of revenue where before the
disposal of this waste was an expense.
Place sixty shovelfuls of sand and
gravel upon a platform, spreading it

then spread over it 100 pounds of Port
