My wife went visiting the
other day. She came home
quite elated. "pve found a
new way to can strawberries.
Mrs. has been up to South
Dakota and they put them up
that way and they taste like
new strawberries. Take the
strawberries and halve them.
That takes out the gas. Put
sugar over them and let them
stand over night, then in the
morning put them in glass
jars" Well, l helped halve
them and she did so. The day
after she said: "What do you
suppose has happened? Why,
the top has blown clear off from
one glass can and the other
was getting ready to burst, so
| put them up in the usual
way to heat them. Maybe we
should have quartered them to
let all the gas out of the big
ones" That plan won't work
here.
Quite a number at prayer
meeting, but the gain drove
some away.
Mrs. Abbie Cole HAS been to
the District M. E. convention
at Council Bluffs and says they
had a splendid meeting.
Fred Hughs' hired man has
quit and gone to Kansas City.
The raspberries coming on so
soon after the strawberries
don't give the fruit growers
much leisure time.
Glen Deur says he has the
finest red raspberry patch. 1t
is four rods wide and 46 rods
long and will bring $1O0. l
guess he is $40 too high.
My bees will be a little con-
trary. They swarm and if they
can light on a high tree it
suits them. | tried to hive one
and got the business end of the
bee on my hands, so | gave
them their time. Now when
they light too high they will
have their own time.
| attended two meetings of
the Chautauqua and must say
nothing would please me more
than to attend them all.
Miss Tamisiea will teach our
school again this fall.
Gus Haight has a field of oats
and thinks one-third is blight
ed. Must have been in the
seed.
This week will see most of
the corn laid by and most of it
will be in good shape. Looks
we'll for a good crop of corn.

Surprising.

we understand that some OF
the special friends of Missouri
Valley circulated the report that
our beautiful fair grounds has
been covered with about four
inches of water. The weather
has been a little damp, it is
true, but we are happy to say
the grounds are and have been
all during the Chautauqua, in
splendid condition, and at no
time have the grounds been
too wet for those who attended.
Such reports are hurtful to the
public and not creditable to the
reporters.
There will be no meeting of
the Degree of Honor this even
ing on account Of the Chau-
tauqua.

The North Carolina case was won by
the device of making a syndicate gift of
small block of bonds to a university
in South Dakota under state control, an
act which gave to that commonwealth
the right to become a plaintiff in the

had promoted the litigation cleaned
up something like $25O,OO0 on the deal,
sum sufficient to excite the cupidity of
its members and to arouse the activity
of others conversant with the facts, Now

Attorney

BY Associated Press.
BOSTON, June 13.-Henry Comstock,
the victim of the mysterious theft Of
securities valued at 100000 on Sound
steamer Saturday night, today said
that late last night he received a sec
ond telephone message from New York
from an alleged attorney of the thief,
promising to return the securities for
$1,000 in cash. Comstock says he was
asked to name representative who
was to meet the New York agent at
designated place.
The New York police have been ad-
vised of these facts, Mr.. Comstock
said. He added that he had determined
upon two courses: First, to endeavor
to secure an indemnity bond from a
surety company, by which means he
would be able to secure himself a re-
issue of the stolen certificates. Having
got the indemnity bond, Mr.. Comstock
said he would proceed to try to arrest
the robbers.

Improved Type of Torpedo Boat to BE
Tried by Germany

BERLIN, June 13.-The navy depart
ment has ordered from the Germania
works six sea going torpedo boats of
a new type. They are of large dis
placement and are In every way
stronger built and fitted with more nu-
merous torpedo tubes than the torpedo
boats previously laid down. The vital
parts of the new boats will be protected
from the fire Of the smaller guns of
warships.
These boats are to be completed in
side Of a year, are expected to have a
speed equal to the boats Of the present
type, owing to their powerful machin-
cry, and yet be strong enough to with
stand the fire of an enemy's quick
firing guns while approaching war
ship and discharging torpedoes. One
of the six boats will be fitted with tur-
bine engines as an experiment.
