The Big Stone Canning Company
held it's annual meeting last Thurs
day. Vice President Chas. Betcher, of
Red Wing, and manager Hughes. of
LeSeuer, were present. The business
of last year was checked up and it was
found that the company had q small
balance on hand after paving all ex-
penses. This is a very gratifying fea-
ture in view of the fact that the con
Germ has been to considerable expense
in getting the enterprise started, in
the way of building and installing ma.
chinery. The company is very hope
full for the future of the Big Stone fac.
tory. and is of the opinion that with
proper management and an ordinary
crop Of corn the next season will show
even better results. It is possible
that the factory will can peas as well
as corn, as the expense of extra ma
chinery is very small. Some changes
will be made in the factory which will
facilitate the handling of corn with
the least amount Of waste. All Of the
old officers of the company were re-
elected.

Because she had spent all her money
in an effort to secure a position as "a

committed suicide last Tuesday. Her
case is indeed a sad one. Meeting
with many disappointment and brood
ing over her repeated failures to
secure recognition from the school
authorities, and being reduced to
penury she decided to give up the
the struggle of life. Her many dis

by the school authorities were on ac-

A family fued that has been existing
for some time between Chas. Block
and JULIUS smith,, Two FARMERS reSld-
ing a few miles up the lake, came to
a terminus last evening when the
paties met near the island. After ex-
changing a few angry words Smith
struck Mr.. Block several times over
the head with an ugly club and left
him for dead.
During the melee Mr.. Blocks horse
left the scene of trouble and proceeded
~homeward, where it arrived safely.
The family unable to comprehend the
meaning of a driverless horse, started
out to investigate the matter, and upon
their arrival at the islands found
traces of blood, which led to the place
where Mr.. Block was lying in an un-
conscious condition, suffering from
six ugly scalp wounds. The injured
man was Immediately brought to Or.
tonville and has been receiving the
attention of DR.. Bolsia, who reports
that he is resting comfortably at the
present writing and entertains high
hopes of his speedy recovery.
The officers were Immediately mott
fed of the tragedy and Sheriff Gowar
placed Smith under arrest and lodged
him in the county jail.

The Original Lovers Leap.

Sappho's Leap was the name given
to a white cliff or promontory ancient
" called Leucadia, O Cape Ducato,
at the southern extremity of Santa
Maura, n Of the Ionian islands. 1t
was SO called because Sappho, the
poetess, is reported to have thrown
herself from this height into the sea.
A criminal, with birds attached to him
to break his fall, was thrown from the
cliff at the annual festival Of Apollo,
and II he reached the water unhurt he
was picked up by boats placed there
for that purpose. This is the rock from
which, according to the story, lovers
throw themselves in order to be free
from the pangs Of love.

EUGENIE'S ESCAPE.

How the Empress Got Out of France
After Sedan.
AS soon as the hot headed citizens Of
Paris learned in September, 1870, that
their emperor, Napoleon ILL.,, had sur
rendered to the Prussians at Sedan
these Parisians rose in a riotous mob
and made ~posthaste for the Tuileries.
They were armed and after royal blood
and plumber. The empress had to fee
for her life. Assisted by the Austrian
and Italian ministers, she made a hur-
RED flight from the palace, but found
the mob ahead of her in the garden;
back again and then out by a secret
way into a side street, where they IN
tered a carriage. A street gamin rec
ognized the empress here, but the
shouting Of the mob was so great that
the boys cry of warning was not
needed.
Once the carriage was stopped by a
mob, but the party alighted and nan
aged to escape. Finding themselves
near the residence Of DR.. Evans, the
American dentist, they took refuge
there, and the doctor took upon HIM
self the responsibility Of Empress Eu-
genie's safety. The empress put on a
dress belonging to Mrs. Evans and,
with Nine. Breton, her friend, was
driven by DR.. Evans to he suburbs.
DR.. Evans explained that tie women
were a patient and her attendant
whom he was taking to a sanitarium.
Two days later the fugitives reached a
coast town, whence they escaped to
England.

What might have proven a very
nasty fire was narrowly escaped last
Sunday afternoon. A gasoline stove
in the restaurant had in some way
leaked, and as Harry Shultz just be-
fore noon struck a match to light the
stove, the gas generated from the es-
Gaping gasoline, exploded and set tie
woodwork around the stove in a blaze.
Harry Shultz at once grabbed a fire
eXtineuisher and threw it at the blaze,
thus q%uenching the flames.

It Is In The
Wheat I!

Two hundred miles west, on
the new branch of the Milwau-
kee road, is a small territory
that escaped the ravages of
rust. The wheat raised there
was a fine crop Of Number One
testing 574 lbs. per bushel.
We have shipped IN several
carloads of this choice wheat,
at great expense, and are
grinding same for our local
trade, being determined to
keep our VALLEY QUEEN
brand up to the highest stand
ard. This high-grade wheat
gives our flour a high quality
that is superior to any flour
that comes on this market.
"Just-as-good'f flour does not
equal VALLEY QUEEN
the right kind of wheat don't
go into it.
When you buy flour, insist
on our brand, it costs no more
and is a better bread maker.
