rocks in the shape of sausages, pork,
turtle and other commodities. Eels

chilly persons should cultivate a taste
for sardines, while irritable people are
warned away from ginger, and the
melancholy man must not touch bacon.

FREAKS OF SEA OUAKES.
That Stranded Big Vessels Half
n Mile Inland.

Sea quakes are mighty disturbances
Of the waters of the ocean, their cause
or causes being Identical with the
causes of earthquakes. In Major G.
E. buttons book, Earthquakes" the
author has some interesting facts re-
garding the ocean variety of quake.
From the entries In the logs of many
ships be concludes that in rare cases
the power of the sea quake shocks may
be great enough to render standing on
deck as difficult as 1t sometimes Is
on land. 1t may even be great enough
to cause the fear that the vessel Is be-
ing shaken to pieces. Gigantic waves
In the ocean are, of course, q frequent
accompaniment Of the sea quake. On
where these waves are frequent, they
sometimes follow a quake having its
center below the sea level that Is also
felt ON land. But more often they
come without warning. The most
memorable sea quake of this locality
occurred Aug. 8, 1868.
Major Dutton describes 1t as fol
lows: The coa OF south America
was shaken all the way from Quay
aquil, in Ecuador, to Valdivia, in Chile,
the highest intensity being manifest
ed in the neighborhood Of africa. The
force of the quake in this town vas
very great, throwing down most Of the
structures and producing land slips. A
few minutes later-precisely how
many minutes is not known-the sea
was observed to retire slowly from
the shore, so that ships anchored in
seven fathoms Of water were left high
and dry.
"a few minutes later still it was
seen returning in a great wall, or
bore which caught up the ships in
the roadstead and swept them inland
as If they were mere chips Of wood.
Among them was the United States
steamer Waterloo, n of the improvis-
ed war vessels of the blockading fleet
In the civil war, which was carried in
land nearly half a mile and left with
little injury on shore by the recession
of the wave"

Telegram. 1.-The Burlington's Platte
river bridge, just north of here, that
was destroyed by fire several days ago

Only One Way to Save Him.

"While the religion of some men is
intellectual" said a well known New
York clergyman, "the religion Of many
Is a thing of emotions.

Der q man in the country who used to
go to camp meeting. After singing a
few inspiring hymns he would become
to outward appearances the happiest
and most pious man In the camp. But
his emotion would always die out and
his religion wouldn't tide him over to
the next meeting.
"a cynical neighbor Of this man
once remarked that the only way to
save his soul was to get him happy and
pious in one of the meetings and then
kill him."-New York Press.

H. F. Clipfell and wife left Fri
day for an extended stay in Indi-
ana and Michigan and the proba-
bilities are that that they will make
their future home in one OF those
two states, where they resided pre-
yious to coming to Redwood county.
Mr.. Clipfell was suffering from a
severe attack of erysipelas when
he left here and be was in hopes of
getting relief from this trouble at
one of the Michigan sanitariums.
Miss Marie and Carroll Clipfell
will probably reside in Minneapo-
lis for an indefinite period.
The second number of volume 4
of the Flickertail Flicker, published
at Goodrich, North Dakota, reached
our desk last week. 1t contains
the information that the Flicker has
just been sold to W. T. WATSON and
Otto Werth, formerly of Redwood
county, Minnesota, who came to
that town in a prairie schooner in
which they had travelled all the
way from the WATSON farm in Sher-
idan township, this county. The
boys have the first issue part Ger
man and part English, Werth being
the German compositor. They in
tend making big Improvements in
the Flicker-and there is room for
nothing else.
Fire destroyed John Edwards
barn almost in the heart of Mar
shall and five horses and a COW
were burned to death, nothing be-
ing saved from the building. The
property was owed by Miss Fitch, a
resident, now living iu New York,
and was fully covered by insurance.
Edwards, the renter, had $500 in
surance on his stock. One of the
horses was owned by Nels Nelson
and was not insured. The absence
of any wind prevented much great
er loss, as the burned building was
surrounded by other barns and
near to dwellings,. Robert Eitel's
barn across the alley was in flames
at one time, but was saved by the
fire department with probably 500
damage, covered by insurance. The
total loss and damage will approx
mate 81, 900.

Carroll Clipfell is the only Red
wood county student who passes
out of the university this year. He
is on the list to graduate from the

entirely recovered, and it will take
rest and proper care through all of
Minnesota summer to put him on

old Virginia, and one can spend an
hour or more listening to him on
the subject. Mrs. Tompkins and
