The men were plunged headforemost
with the wreckage but the mass of tim

them. William Cawker had an arm
pinehed in between the wall and the
portion of the parquet on which he was
standing and for time it was thought
the arm was broken. Hugh Benner was

escaped uninjured.

The last embers of the fire were ex-
tinguished a few minutes before

hose, who chopped a hole through the
charred roof, lowered himself to one
of the supporting beams and directed
a stream on the next supporting cross
beam, which was directly above the
place where the front of the balcony
had been. All the roof beams were so
badly charred that it was dangerous
to try to cross the roof and several
parts of tte ceiling may fall from the
weight of water-soaked plaster before
the fremen are through clearing the
interior.
The stage remains intact but the
seats are piled in charred tiers just as
they fell when one balcony after anoth-

FAMILY RUNT
Kansas Man Says Coffee Made Him
That

Coffee has been used in our family
of eleyen-father, mother. five sons
and four daughters=for thirty years
I am the eldest of the boys and have
always been considered the runt of the
family and coffee topper.
Il continued to drink it for years
until grew to be a man, and then I
found I had stomach trouble. nervous
headaches, poor circulation, was un-
able to do fun days work, took
medicine for this, that, and the other
thing without the least benefit In
fact I only weighed ZIG when I was %.
"Then 1 changed from coffee to
Postum being the first one in our
family to do so. I noticed, as did the
rest of the family that I was surely
gaining strength and flesh. Shortly
after I was visiting my cousin who
said. You look SO much better-you re
getting fat
s.At breakfast his wife passed me a
large sized cup of coffee, as she knew
was always such a coffee drinker
but I said. No. thank you.
" What said my cousin, you quit
coffee? What do you drink p
g Postum I said or water. and I
am Well They did not know what
Postum was, but my cousin had stom-
ach trouble and could not sleep at
night from drinking large cup of
coffee three times day. He was glad
to learn about Postum but said he
never knew COuSe nurI anyone.
After understanding my condition
and how got well he knew what to do
for himself. He discovered that coffee
was the cause of his trouble as he never
used tobacco or anything else of the
kind. You should now see the change
in him We both believe that if per-
sons who suffer from Coffee drinking
would stop and use Postum they could
build back to health and happiness >

suggestion of the Commercial club
that appropriate floral designs be pro-

While no parks have as yet been
selected for these displays it is assumed
that Minnehaha park will be one of

COUNTY FAIR DATES
Cedar River Association Is Organized
at Albert Lea.

- ALBERT LEA, MINN.-At the conference held
with a view to organizing county fair racing
circuit it decided to perfect an organtza ton
and call it the Cedar River Fair association.
W. 8. Prouty Of Charles City, Iowa, was chosen
president and J. e. Davidson of Austin secre-
tary. The following dates were fixed for the
county fairs and accompanying race meetings.
Olmsted county Mimi, at Rochester, last week
in August. ...
Chickasaw county, Iowa, Nashua, first week
in September.
Floyd county, Iowa, at Charles City, second
week in September. .-.. .
Mitchell county, Iowa, Usage, third week in
September.
Mower county, Mimi, fourth week in Sep
TENDER, Austin ..'
Freeborn county, Mimi, Albert Lea, first week
in October. go. ....
This brings the fair here considerably later
than usual, but the plan heretofore" pursued by
county fairs left no chance Of getting any horses
at the races, as purses were not large enough
to attract owners to Independent races and
something in the line Of organization had to be
done or racing at the county fairs would have
to be cut out entirely.
