Wonderful isn't it to think of
getting -four from Minneapolis
made from No. l hard wheat, when
the fact is less than per cent. of
the wheat in store at Minneapolis is
No. hard and less than 2 per cent.
of the receipts grade No. l
hard in the past month and large
part of this goes to country mills.
White Crest flour contains ten times
more No. l hard wheat than any
brand of flour made in Minneapolis.
For sale by up-to-date grocers or at
Prairie Mills at $1.05 per 4 Dbl.

Lyman Chinnock's little girl,
Florence, aged eight years, met
with fearful accident, and serious
injury last Sunday. While search
ing for flowers on the bank of the
river opposite the power house, she
fell over, striking on the rocks IS
feet below. She rolled into the
river and was carried down several
rods before she could regain the
shore. The child managed to get
home although fearfu11y injured.
DR.. Gendron was Immediately called
and found that the girls skull was
fractured, Eher collar bone broken
and her whole body badly bruised.
Last Sunday was a fine day and
the attendance upon the union SER
vices at the Congregational church,
where the memorial day sermon
was preached to the veterans of the
war, was equal to the seating capa-
city of the edifce. The members
of the Grand Army post were out in
force, about fifty being in line, and
the ladies of the Women's Relief
Corps attended in a body. The
Sermon preached by Rev. D. B.
Spencer, pastor of the Congrega-
tional church, upon Gods Hand
in American History" was an elo-
quent and philosophical disquisi-
ton, and was listened to with pro-
found interest.
The dance at VIM. Fo1ey's, two
miles southeast of town, Friday
night was largely attended but the
festivities were considerable damp
ened by the presence of Jupiter
Pluvius. 1t commenced to rain
about half past eleven and seemed
to the assembled dancers TO con-
tinue indefinitely. The dance was
held in Mr.. Foley's new barn. The
rain would not have been of any
considerable inconvenience to the
crowd if the barn had been shingled,
which it was not. When the dance
was announced it was expected that
the roof would be completed before
it was to be held and there was
ample time had not the frequent
rains interfered. The Smith Or
chestra furnished good music.
The High school concert, held at
Opera Hall Friday night, was we'll
patronized and was thoroughly en-
joyed. The music was good
throughout. The singing by the
high school pupils was especially
fine. The one-hundred voices in
unison made a great volume OF
harmonious sound. The grammar
grade pupils sang we'll the song,
my Own United States" Several
solos were also very prettily done,
as Sweet Peas" by E1va Ritchey
and Little Black Me" by Emmett
/ Deneen. The instrumental music
was excellent, as the cornet duet,
Renee Polka" by Frank Reed and
Oscar Spi11cke and the piano solo,
THE Alpine Horn" by Neil Reed.
The marches and accompaniment
were excel1ently rendered while the
recitations by the little folks were
all right.
Rev. T. ]. Snodgrass received a
telegram Monday morning announc-
ing the sudden death of his son-i1-
| law, DR.. Philip H. Keyser of Bould-
er, Colorado. DR.. Keyser, in com
pany with his wife, had been on an
extended trip east and it seems he
had just returned home when he
was struck down. The doctor had
