Two Houses Struck

Another storm, accompanied
by severe lightning, struck Hope
and vicinity Monday and Tues
day morning. Two houses We're
struck by the lightning, James
Ellsbury's farm dwelling, one
mile north Of town, and John
McCollough's, two miles south
west. Luckily no one was hurt
in either case and the damage
was very slight. The lightning
seems to have struck in many
fields, also, and several have re
ported seeing shocks Of grain on
fire. The heavy downpour OF
rain the night before had soaked
everything and effectually pre-
vented the spread of the flames
so that no noticeable damage was
done.

The A. B. c.. Leads.

Prof. Aaker of Aaker's Busi-

seven Of the leading business col
leges in Minneapolis two weeks
ago, and was surprised to find
that not one of them has as fine
and comfortable quarters, nor as
substantial and up-to-date equip,
ment as the A.. B. c., and also in
attendance the A. B. G. lead at
that time.
This explains why two young

The grade books for the first months

will be close and in no way inflated.
If the child's class record is not what
it should be, a question will give the
reasons.

BIG FISH IN HOLLOW LOGS.
Great Catches of Catfish Made Right
In a SaWmiII,

At this time of year the men who
are working in the sawmills along the
Mississippi River are somewhat puz-
zled to decide precisely what their oc-
cupatior is. Sometimes they think
they are mill men and sometimes they
think they are fishermen.
Catfish seem to be the 'coons and
'possums Of the river world. They
take to the hollow logs, which they
find among the RATS tied up neal the
sawmills.
: In June the men who work the logs
up to the carriages which take them
to the saws begin to watch for hollow
specimens. When they find one of

There are lines which do not
wrinkle easily, and it is of these
that ones morning frocks should be
made.
The rule seems to be that the
separate coat of taffeta shall be
black or dark no matter how light
the gown is with which it is to be
worn.
Mohair Swiss is the name of one
of the most alluring summer ma
terials, and beautiful piece in a
delicate rose-pink with dot of black
is forty-five inches wide
Floating streamers of gossamer
fabrics appear as ties worn with
sailor costumes and the elaborate
Peter Pan waists as well as in auto
mobile wells and hat ties.
The linen parasol with a graceful
lacey pattern in French embroidery
disposed over the entire surface is
one of the prettiest of the many
handsome novelties displayed this
season.
Bands of insertion alternating
with box pleats of the same width
make pretty yoke for the summer
blouse. the result being especially
good if the sleeve tops are treated
in the same way.
To secure quite the most approved
effect, the up-to-date young lady who
wears slippers with embroidered
heels selects from her supply OF
hosiery, stockings embroidered in
the same color and design.
English eyelet, which was so much
in vogue last season for linen suits,
is seldom seen now except on house
gowns, and not at all on separate
coats. French raised embroidery
and applique form the decoration in
stead.
The single line of feather stitching
near one edge of trimming bands is
much more distinctive than line
at each side. Those who are adept
at this sort of needlework will find
this simple means of decorating
a light weight coat and skirt suit.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS bands of dull
black ribbon form the skirt yoke of
black eolienne gown. Separated
by small space the lines or ribbon
tend to increase the apparent size
of the hips. therefore this style at
once proclaims itself exclusively for
the slender woman.

GAY PHOTOGRAPHER
GIVEN COAT OF TAR

Special to The Evening Times.
Cass Lake. Minn., Aug. 11.-Cass
Lake last evening was the scene of
sensation in the form of a tar. mo-
lasses and feathers escapade with all
the most modern and up-to-date
trimmings. The victim was a we'll
known photographer who was ac-
cused of being too familiar with some
of the fair sex.
Some time ago the photographer was
warned to desist and yesterday after
noon when young girl complained
to her parents of having been in
suited the word was quickly passed
from one end of the town to the other
and in short time a mob of $50 men
gathered and securing the necessary
materials they crossed the track where
the studio was located, seized the ar
fist and taking him to the outskirts of
the city applied coat of tar, then a
fine lot of feathers. and gave finish
ing coat consisting of molasses, which
it is said, gave a finished appearance
to the job, covering up all the rough
places.
The incident caused tremendous
sensation in Cass Lake. What the
outcome will be cannot be foretold,
but it is generally predicted that there
will be no prosecutions as practically
the whole town was involved to a
greater or less extent.
