A New Ulm special of Aug. 18th
says that Mrs. Augusta Windhorn,
eighty-two years old, was fatally
burned at her home in the town of
Stark, Brown county, to-day as a
result Of attempting to start a fire
with kerosene. Mrs. Windhorn lived
alone. She put quantity Of dried
corncobs into the stove and tried to
light them. They did not burn
readily, and she began to pour oil
from a filled fve-gallon can upon
the fuel, when the kerosene took
fire and the can exploded. The
woman's clothing caught fire and
was burned from her body. Neigh
bors happened to go to the house
shortly afterward, but were unable
to help her.
The Glencoe Register reports this
peculiar milky way seen on the
streets of that city: Last Saturday
two girls driving load of milk cans
towards the creamery on Greeley
street, oppositite Snere's marble
shop, in some manner unknown to
them, found one of their big cans
had tipped over, and was perform
ing the part of the sprinkling cart
and was wetting down that part of
the street. We feel quite sure that
can had seen the need of having
that street sprinkled, as it had been
driven over it, to and fro, to the
creamery, and the psychological
moment had come to give the citi-
zens OF Glencoe an object lesson of
their duty, long neglected, and it
did, regardless of expense, and left
a milky way
The Lake Mills Graphic remarks
that on last Thursday the creamery
at that place completed the work
for Swift & Co., Chicago packers, in
filling their order for butter to be
used in the United States navy. In
all sos, 558 pounds of butter were
packed and the quality of this scored |
95 per cent, a record which the
creamery officials and superintend-
ent are proud of. The United States
Inspector remarked that the quality
was the best put up on the several
contracts he had supervised while |
securing butter for the navy. The
creamery is ahead $1,000 on the
deal. The United States inspector
wants to stay with that butter until
it reaches his vessels. Swift & Co.
might use the consignment to make
just double the number of pounds. |
Cottolene, oleomargarine or lard
from dead and down hogs would
come in nice for the jackies to swell
Swift & Co.'S profits.
