Franklin Mercantile. Co. has pur-a
chased the large grocery store and
meat market of Oscar Lahti at HID

Sam Lee, Tracy's Chinaman, has
sold his laundry business tosanother

coast!where he expects to engage IN
the cigar manufacturing business.
Sam had a., keen insight into the
ways that count for American sue
cess and he-Eleft here with a good
sum of money. He told us that ne
contributed 81 to the revival meet
ingse last month, not that he knew
what, it. counted for in a religious
way, : but. hes.said the church people
"likee he better and givee ne

Inasmuch as Finley A. Gray, who
has made such an efficient city re-
corder for several years past, will
not againssbe a candidate for the
place, owing to the attention he must
give to business matters in other
states, it has been suggested that
Fred J. Thompson be given the place.
Mr.. Thompson is a popular young
man of this city. \ He has been con-
nected with the St. Louis railroad
for a number of years, and later was
connected with the Minnesota Cen
trail Telephone Co. He now has
charge of theslibrary building, and
his election would be pleasing to
large number Of his friends in this
city. ~'.'~' -.'4t t
It might be of considerable inns
portance to some of our readers to
know that there is law inflicting a
heavy penalty onsepersons who fail
to report the existence Of hog
cholera on their farm. The same
should be reported onits appearance
to the State Live Stock Sanitary
board for& their action. Ignorance
of the law is not generally accepted
in court only as an extenuating cir
icumstance, and the fine for the vlo-
4 lation of the law is from S25 to $500.
There is also a fine of from $40 to
S1OO for not burying the carcasses
of hogs that die from this disease.
This is done tosprevent the spread of
the disease to adjoining farms. All
whose farms are now infested with
this dreaded swine disease would do
we'll to guard against these heavy
fines.
The Springfield Advance gasoline
story: Yesterday morning, shortly
before seven o'clock. the fire depart
ment was called to a blaze in Nelson
& Lindholm's steam laundry. The
: fire was under control when the fire
department arrived, and but little
+ damage was done, excepting to the
building, which came near being a
wreck from the force of the explo-
sion from the gasoline stove. The
stove was in the middle room be-
tween the engine room and office
: Engineer Mcqueen was busy in the
engine room at the time of the
explosion and was dazed by the con
: cussion. After regaining himself
he saw theszswhole room from one
end to the. other in blaze, but il
r seems that the fire died as suddenly
as it started, and was easily extin
r guished. The top of the tank OF
e the gasoline stove was blown off
g but a strange feature of the explo
S sion was, that the tank was half full
r of, oil after the explosion. The nortl
= / and east wall, of the building were
n forced, out about one foot at tn
