During the construction Of station

roads of the Pine Tree state the
building had progressed to the point
where plastering was, the next thing
necessary, and the contractor in
charge feared that, owing to the
length Of time required for drying,
he would be unable to complete his
work within the specified time.
An official of the road, who CHANGED
to be in the vicinity, directed him to
use adamant as substitute, which, as
all builders knows, dries very rapidly,
and though none of the men were IA

complied with the suggestion, and

In short time they returned in tri-

The work of plastering was soon
briskly under way, but during the
forenoon powerful and inexplicable
,odor seemed to fill the air, growing
more and more dominant as the day

fumes were almost insufferable, and
the language of the men became as

One of the cleverest combinations
touring this season has been secured
as the attraction at the Willmar opera
house Monday, Oct. 1st. The COM
pany referred to is headed by Miss
Mary Hapgood, heretofore promi-
nent and attractive member of Angus
tin Daly's New York company. The
play through which Miss Hapgood
will be introduced to our theatregoers
is John Bakers great London comedy
success, "a Husband on Salary"
Miss Hapgood and her company have
been accorded the highest praise every
where they have appeared and it is
claimed for them that they take a high
position among the standard metro
politan attractions of the day. Fred
erick Moseley, whose splendid talents
are we'll known to many patrons of
the drama, and who last season
occupied the important position of
leading man for Julia Marlowe, has
been engaged to appear in the same
capacity with Miss Hapgood's organ
ization. The balance of the support
ing company are said to be of an
equally high order of merit. Mr..
John Baker who did the staging OF
his comedy when it was put on at the
Strand Theatre in London, where it
ran for 238 nights, has looked after
this important detail for Miss Hap
good.

Suffers Loss BY Fire.

F. The barn on the Lewis Vadnais
farm in the town of Louriston was
destroyed by fire Monday afternoon
between one and two o'clock. A
young team of horses, valued at $500,
that were in the building at the time
persisted in the flames. Some harness
was also destroyed. The barn was
not insured. The horses and harness
were insured in the Kerkhoven and
hayes Insurance Co. The appraisers
appointed to appraise the loss got
together Wednesday afternoon and
allowed Mr.. Vadnais S127.50 for the
team and harness. How the fire origi-
mated is not known. The family was
eating dinner at the time it started
and it was discovered by one of the
children who was first to 60 out after
the meal. Mr.. Vadnais had lust
finished threshing few days or two
before and his entire crop was in the
granary near the barn. For time it
looked as tho the granary would also
be destroyed and it no doubt would
have been had it not been for the
assistance rendered by the Lindeman
threshing crew which happened to be
at work on the Frank Carlson farm
near by. The crew was summoned by
phone and arrived on the scene ir
time to prevent the granary being de-
stroyed. -. Andrew E. Roisum, Of
Arctander, accompanied by his son
