The aceyteline gas plant which the
Gibbon village authorities installed
there this year, blew up on Thurs
day afternoon of last week. Several
windows were shattered, a portion
of the wall of the power house was
damaged; nobody was injured. J.
A. johnson had the damage repaired
in time for the plant to be in opera
ton in the evening. What caused
the explosion is not known. An ex-
pert from New York City has been
summoned to see if he can tell what
caused the trouble.
Mr.. Pension has taken the con-
tract to winter about two hundred
horses this winter for Winston &
Co., of Minneapolis, the contractors
who do much of the railroad con-
struction, says the Marshall Report
err. Saturday one hundred and fifty
five horses were shipped in here and
are now stabbed at the Hitch barn
and Schneider & Rivell's barn. Mr..
Pension is now having constructed
some distance back of his house
big shed 50x150 feet, which is being
arranged to hold the 200 horses,
should more be shipped here later
on.
The reduction of 20 per cent. on
freight of the first, second. third
and fourth classes was very hand
some thing for the Minneapolis &
St. Louis railroad to make and it
was done without any shouting from
the housetops or the intercession of
anybody with a political axe to
grind except the order of the rail
road and warehouse commissioners,
and accepted by all the railroads of
Minnesota. The other companies
have done likewise. The state board
of control and Warden Wolfer, of
the state prison at Saltwater, have
fixed the prices for binding Irvine
for the coming season as follows:
Standard, 500 feet to the pound 81
cents; Standard and manila mixed,
$50 feet to the pound, 81 cents; and
pure manila, 600 feet to the pound,
lOa cents per pound. It. is estimated
that the output will be $4,000, 900
pounds for the coming season. There
is a great demand for application
blanks to be used in the formation
of farmers clubs for the purpose of
buying in large lots. Of course it is
not expected that the plant will
supply all the Irvine used in the
state.

j. M. Nikolai, manager of the mill
at Madison says that the longest
freight train that ever passed thru
that city went over the Minneapolis
& st. Louis railroad, east bound on
Tuesday Of the present week, says
the press. There were sixty-fve
cars in the train and it extended the
whole length of the passing track at
the depot and even then the forward
part of the train stood out on the
main line as die also the rear end.
The engine which hauled this train
was of the mogul type.

Fairfax has taken rapid strides as
a poultry market since the advent
of the Fairfax Produce company
here couple of years ago. says the
Standard. During the latter days
of last week and up to Tuesday of
this week, this enterprising concern
shipped over 80, 900 pounds of dressed
poultry to the twin cities and Du-
luth, besides about $4,000 pounds of
live stuff. Of this amount over H.
900 pounds Of the dressed stock and
much of the live was purchased
from the farmers of this section.
the balance being shipped them from
Franklin, Gibbon and Winthrop.
The price for dressed turkeys this
fall has been about Is cents per
pound.
Among the threshers who have
had great hardships in moving at
times IS Herman Gummert. says the
Renville Star Farmer. Mr.. Gum
inert purchased one of the largest
engines in this section last fall.
Under ordinary circumstances this
would have been an advantage, but
owing to the extreme wet it's great
weight was against it. Thursday
afternoon of last week, near the
farm of Albert Zaske, while moving
on the grade the front end slipped
off and into the water at the side.
In endeavoring to raise the front
end up the hind and gearing wheel
also went down and the engine only
escaped turning over by the narrow
est margin. On Saturday afternoon
we learn they were still at work try
ing to get it out.

Sleepy Eye Dispatch: Walter
Jacobsen. son of Chief of Police P.

the position in the congressional
library, formerly held by J. P. Graft.
He was sworn in Saturday and be-

Among the local items in the Pri
son Mirror this week we noticed one
that stated that prisoner arrived
at the state prison Monday evening
who gave his name as Seldom Seen.
Prisoners are noted the world over
for the peculiarly of their" Names,
and this is about the oldest name to
be found on the books Of the insti-
tuition. This is something like the
name of the prisoner who escaped
from the Jail at Madison some eight
years ago who signed himself Willie
Went"
A remarkable story of the conduct
of a horse was told by P. R. Vail
Wednesday. While driving from
Virginia to Eveleth one of the horses
reeled about the roadway for
few seconds and then sank to the
ground dead. The driving mate of
the horse, brother of the dead
animal, says Mr.. Vail, showed signs
of deep grief, making a noise that
could be heard for some distance.
The conduct of the living horse gave
the impression that it was weeping
for its dead mate and brother. The
horses were recently purchased by
the Virginia Brewing company for
$780, An Eveleth liveryman had
made an offer of $3.50 for the team
and was outbid by Vail Eveleth
Star.
The Mankato Commercial club re-
Gently held meeting, at which the
members reverted to the new freight
rates, and Mr.. Patterson was caused
to remark that there are many in
CAPABILITIES in the same, and he was
sure that the railroad companies
knew of the same. Mr.. Patterson
further said: There was a reduc-
ton in interstate rates to points
west of Mankato, and it was most
unjust to Mankato because the same
rate applied to all points. The rate
to Redwood Falls from Chicago is
the same on all five classes to Man.
kato, which was gross discrimina-
ton against Mankato. 1t was hard
to defend Mankato as jobbing
center when little towns like Red
wood Falls have the same rates"

Curiou. French Market.

There Is curious old market near
Paris in which everything Is sold at
secondhand. Working girls can fit
themselves out there from head to
foot. AS writer says: Mimi can sell
her old felt hat and buy a straw one,
exchange her old dress for a new one
and, If she likes, buy steak and q
salad for her dinner, a paper bag of
fried potatoes, sweets and some flow
ers for her window. Democracy Is king
here, and no more attention Is paid to
the millionaire who Is looking for
something marvellous which he may
pick up cheap than to the man with a
wooden leg who wants new boot in
gloves and a stocking.

Struggling Life.

In single drop of unfiltered water
may be seen In miniature the tragedy
that goes on perpetually in the world
at large, for in the little drop there Is
a whole universe of life, with all its
terrible and death dealing competition,
with all its mystery and woe.
1t was a French biologist who in
vented the method by which this Won
derful state of things Is demonstrated.
He called the method the Hanging
drop Slide" and it is beautifully SIM
pie. A drop of water from the edge of
an ordinary pond is placed In hol-
lowed out space on a small strip OF
glass and sealed with bit Of thinner
glass. And now day after day and
night after night the hideous business
going on In that one drop Of perfectly
clear and apparently pure water may
be watched and studied at the leisure
of the observer.
The drop of water rs world In it.

about in it with plenty of room. The
giant worms with tremendous swish
