The Zebra as a Domestic Animal,

A plan has been submitted to the Brit
ish government by one of it's agents In
the veterinary service in East Africa for
the domestication of the zebra. The idea,

to the sting Of insects and also proof
against most of the maladies that kill

you must be in perfect health, which

refreshing beverage tones up both mind
and body if used conscientiously like any

Soon Be Provided.

LUvERNE, MINN.-The public schools
opened yesterday for the ensuing year. The
attendance record was broken In several Of the

yet, matter Of conjecture, but it is probable
that some suitable building will be rented to
provide additional room.
