A BAD FIRE
Two Valuable Horses Burned.

When the family of Arthur Tuttle
was about to retire Saturday night, a
fire was discovered in their barn. An
alarm was Immediately turned in but
the fire had gained such Roadway that
nothing could be saved.
The barn contained a quantity of
feed and several harnesses, beside two
valuable horses, which were all burned.
Great effort was made to free the horses
but they had persisted before the fire
company arrived.
The origin of the fire was mysteri-
Gus, no light having been used in the
barn that evening, and it is thought
by some to be the work of incendiaries.
The building and contents were in
sured for about half their value in the
company of which j. F. Cooper is local
agent. Mr.. futile received their in
surance check Tuesday.

And it Rained.

On Wednesday, after several days oil
planning and preparation, crowd OF
thirteen, arrayed in their white duck
suits, started for Fairy lake, for a
picnic dinner and supper. And it
rained.
Mr.. Vogel, who took the crowd out
II. his large covered wagon, was
obliged to return Immediately after
reaching the lake, and promised to re-
turn in the evening for the party. He
kept his promise. And it rained.
The hammocks were hung up, rugs
and pillows thrown carelessly over
the ground, creating most festive
appearance. And it rained.
The table cloths were spread and a
lunch most appetizingly arranged.
And it rained.
But, despite the bad weather, the
girls came home in the best of spirits,
all declaring that ''they had had the
best time"
The crowd consisted of Mrs. Chas.

Schools Open Sept. II.

The Sank Centre schools will open
Monday, Sept. IL. This will give
those pupils and teachers who wish
to visit the state fair an opportunity
to do so without interfering with then
school duties.
1t will also give pupils working in
the country another week during
harvest and enable them to begin
their school work on time. This ar.
rangement should be helpful to both
parents and pupils, and result in a
full attendance from the beginning
of the school year.

~ FAIR
Fine Programme Of Races, Liberal

Business Men and Farmers ShouIc
Give it a Liberal and Enthusi-

In this weeks issue we publish the
Premium list of the Stearns County
Fair. The Association are bending
every effort to make this Fair red
letter day occasion in the history OF
Stearns County fairs.
The race meeting held here August
second and third was the most
interesting and successful race meet
held outside the twin cities this year
and it will be even better at the fair
this fall, but the officers of the assocla-
ton cannot make success OF the fair
unless the people of Sank Centre and
the surrounding country give 1T their
hearty cooperation and support. 1t
is to be hoped that every one will
attend and make it a point to bring
something for exhibition. This is a
fair and not hippodrome like the
State Fair and similar expositions.
1t is arranged for the mutual benefit
of the people and is not scheme to
support a lot of high priced officials
or to get your hard earned cash. AT
this fair you will meet your friends
and neighbors. You will meet men
that are engaged in the same line of
business as yourself; can see what
they are doing, compare notes with
them and learn something OF value.
Don't think that you cannot afford
to come. You can't afford to miss it..

TAe Properties Of Cocaine.

-
Travellers In Peru and countries
where coca grows chew the leaves Of
this plant for the purpose Of allaying
the ems Of hunger and the feeling Of
exhaustion that accompanies it. At
first the leaves were thought to possess
food elements, but now it Is known
that the cocaine they contain merely
allays the irritabiltty Of the nerves
that produce the sense Of hunger.
Cocaine is an alkaloid made from
the coca leaf, which has the effect Of
completely destroying the sensibifty
of nerves. The discovery Of this active
principle Of the coca leaf explained
fully and satisfactorily the, effect pro-
duced by chewing the leaves. An in
fusion Of the leaf might be used with
good results in allay1ng the gnawing
appetite that follows some forms OF
fever. OF. in cases where the sense of
hunger Is due to a diseased condition
Of the stomach.
Cocaine should never be used except
on the prescription Of a. trustworthy
physician. because it is dangerous. The
cocaine habit Is more readily formed
than either the morphine or liquor
habit and Is far more rapid in its work
Of destruction.

Mutual Life and the New York
Life, and perhaps other giant life
insurance companies, were just as
bad in some of their business
methods as the Equitable. The
high priced officials have taken
millions of money that rightfully
belonged to the policy holders,
but it has been done in a way that
is not contrary to law. The in
vestigation that is now going on
has already shown that the much

never in practice. The officers

A Shocking Plant.

It appears that a plant which grows
in the forests of India, called the Philo-

breaks a leaf from this plant imme-

produced by an induction coil. At a

is affected and will be deranged If

is unaffected beside it. Birds or in
