There seems to be an epidemic
of colds in this community, which
in many instances resembles the
real old-fashioned grip. Many
people are affected by it but gen
orally speaking are improving.
Most farmers are done gather

the yield exceeded the expec g.
ton, while corn which was plant

exceedingly light. The prevail

Lincoln Wells went to Russell
county last week to bird hunt.
By the way Lincoln was one of
the few left of the Republican
wreck here on November, the Z.
He had a close call, coming out
only by the "skin of the teeth, I"
he seems however, to think a
miss is as good as a mile, and
goes about his business as jolly
as if his majority had been mil
lions.
The feathery tribe has been
made to live hard here since No
vember the 18th. Almost every
man and several boys hardly able
to carry a gun, have been in the
fields in the pursuit, and the
bang" of the fowling piece is
heard on all sides. 1t is fun for
theyboys, sbut what about the
birds?
The Democrats here about have
behaved themselves becomingly
since the election. There have
been no unnecessary demonstra-
tions of joy on the part of any of
them, but seem to concede all
the glory to the Republicans,
without whom we could not have
succeeded. Let us unite to help
L. F. Sharp and Chas. Montgom-
cry to give us a successful adj
ministration Of affairs in Casey,
and we will have no regrets that
we honored them with these re-
sponsible position.
AS for J. S. LaWhOrn, his do
ties are plain to him, having
been engaged in the business of
educating the young ever since
/ he was a little boy. He will look
after the Office Of Superintend-
ent as it has never been looked
after before, and bring about a
/ better state of affairs among the
schools of the county, and all
will be well.
The meeting at the Baptist
church conducted by the pastor,
assisted by Rev. w. E. Ellis, OF
Lancaster, viii close to-day,
Thursday. There have been sew
en- additions. The baptizing will
take place this morning. Among
those who have united with the
church during the meeting, we
would mention Miss Mollie Viii
son, Sim Wilson, Albert Watkins
and Miss Amy Adams. The
meeting did a vast amount of
good in reviving the church,
which had grown somewhat cold.
Considerable excitement has
prevailed here since the election,
in regard to the Itoll-gates. The
question of free pixies carried,
and Immediately after the cleo
ton, teamsters and others refus-
ed to pay toll, and threats were
made against the gates, especial
ly against the one just above
Middleburg. Mr.. B. K. Swope,
the keeper of that gate, became
alarmed and moved out. The
gates on the Grace Fork land
Dunville roada were raised on
election day, on account of re-
pairs to a couple of bridges on
the line, but they were put on
Monday, and the collection of toll
resumed, when a general kick
was raised, and the gate keepers
either moved out or refused to
service for the companies. It
was reported this morning that
raiders have torn down the gates
on the Liberty and Carpenters
creek pike, but the report wants
confirmation. Judge Rains is be
ing urged to call the Fiscal court
together, and take some action
towards freeing the roads, but it

REGGARS OF THE WORLD.

Wherever there are men there are
peggars. Every nation has its niendi-
cants, and, although some people hold
them to scorn, there are others who
venerate them and recognize their
business as legitimate.
Strangely, the greatest nation of
beggars in the world adjoins that
which has, perhaps, the smallest, or
one of the smallest, percentages Of
beggars-and these countries are
Italy and Switzerland.
That beggary is a result of indol-
ence is shown by the fact that the peo-
pie Of every warm climate are over

A New Industry.

Tni River Falls promises in the
near future to be the center of one of
the largest industries in the state, ac-
cording to the ideas of Northern Min
nesota capitalists who are behind an
investigation of the wire grass twine
manufacturing possibilities at that
place. According to cruisers who
know every inch of the ground above
Thief River and to the east of the
town, there is eSsugh wire grass to
maintain an enormous wire grass
twine plant in Thief River Falls for
many years. The twine has been
used quite generally in this vicinity
during the last two years and has been
found to be equal to hemp or sisal in
the grain fields of the valley, and much
cheaper. Plans are completed for ac-
tive work toward the organization at
Thief River Falls and to manufacture
from wire grass twine, cordage, mat
ting, rugs and carpets.
The grass grows to a height of several
feet and is woven by the Indians
north and east of Thief River Falls in
to numerous articles of fancy work.

The state agricultural high school
established at Crookston by the legis-

institutions in the country. Superin-

school under consideration, has given
the matter careful attention, and the
school from every standpoint will be
something unique in the educational
line.
The schoo' " Il be established at the

teach the classes in the high school
will also have charge of various de-

convent BURNED:
lives ARE LOST
A MIDNIGHT FIRE DESTROYS AN
INSTITUTION LOCATED AT
ST. GENEVIEVE, QUE.
Fourteen Inmates Unable to Escape
and Perish-The Victims Include
Nine Girls, Four Women and He
roic Nun.

Montreal, QUE, April 22.-The little
village of St. Genevieve is in mourn
ing over the loss of IA lives in fire
which destroyed the convent of St.
Anne there early on Friday. One nun,
nine children, ranging in age from 10
to 1S years, and four old women, per-
ished in the flames. Two nuns were
so severely burned that it is feared
they will die. In their grief over the
catastrophe the villaged find some
comfort in relating the heroism dis
played by Sister Marie Adjuteur, who
gave up her life, and Sister Marie The
rese and Marie Robertine, who we're
perhaps fatally burned in their efforts
to save the lives of the children and
helpless old women in their charge.
There is no organized fire protection
in the village. The fire, which start
ed at an early hour in the morning,
was beyond control by the time the
sleeping people could be aroused. A
bucket brigade was formed, but the ef-
forts to check the flames proved futile
and the quaint old structure was re-
duced to ashes. Sisters Marie Therese
and Marie Robertine were rescued with
difficulty from the hallway, where they
had fallen, overcome by the smoke and
flames.
The convent was called the Ste.
Annes, and was branch of the con-
vent of the Sisters of Ste. Annes of
Lachine. The building was a grav
stone structure, handsome in appear
ance, massive in character and with
the churuch it formed a central figure
of the pretty little village. St. Gene
We've is a village and parish of Jaques
Cartier county, on Revere des Prai-
ries. 1t is three miles from Beacons-
field and five miles from Pointe Claire.
