supplies it hinders the growth OF your
nearby towns just sc much. Now
does it pay to send away for your
household supplies? Have you ever
taken the list of goods you propose to
order for cash with the order to your
local dealer and asked him to figure
on it or have you taken the bait OF the
below-cost price on one or two staple
articles, and then ordered tea, coffee,
spices, dry goods aud shoes of un-
known quality and in quantities you
have never thought of buying from
your local dealer, of nonresident
whose goods are not subject to inspec-
ton. by the dairy and food experts OF
this state as are all the goods OF our
local dealers? In recent II erald
goods of all kinds were offered to the
consumers of Stearns Co. at very
low prices. We note few examples:
galvanized wash tubs were offered for
48c; soap, four bars for 1Oc; certain
brand of ginghams at &c yard and
these are not prices from transient
or selling out merchants but our own
regular responsible dealers who ,are
here to stay, who help to support the
state, county and city, the schools,
churches, newspapers and all other
local improvements and advantages.
These men are your friends and ours.

WILD FLOWERS

Yellowstone is truly one of the

TOURIST CARS POPULAR

The idea that an inferior class of
people patronize the tourist sleepers is
an error. On many trips only the
best of travellers are found. They are
merely men and women of good sense
who would rather travel to California
in this manner and save snug sum
of money to be used elsewhere. It is
beginning to be understood that it is
by no means necessary for the traveller
to spend a large sum of money in
order to enjoy trip to the Pacific
coast.
If you cross the continent in one of
the tourist slecpers of the Union
Pacific you will enjoy your trip and
save considerable money. Inquire of

A talk With LOCAL BUYERS
Communicated


We wish to reason with the readers
of the Herald bit about business,
We wonder sometimes if you are a
careful reader of your home paper,
not only the local and general news
and articles which they are always so
glad to publish, relating to the various
stock and crop problems of the farm,
but also the advertising of the home
merchants.
We are moved to speak of this be-
cause the express agents, the railroad
freight agents, and the postoffice de-
partment, assert that many thousands
of dollars are sent out of Stearns county
every month, to pay, for all kinds OF
merchandise bought from Chicago
and other large cities, which are
gradually but surely sucking the
financial life blood out of the smaller
towns and cities of the state.
After a careful study of the value
OF goods and the prices quoted each
week in the Herald by the Sank
Centre merchants, and those of other
towns of Stearns Co., we wonder il
the reader who send their money away
to help build up the large cehters are
not making grievous mistake.
Take last weeks Herald for ex-
ample, and notice the prices paid for
country produce. Best creamery
butter sold in Chicago last Thursday
for 20 cents, and on the same day
Sank Centre merchants were paving
20 cents for best dairy butter. Eggs
the same day were quoted in Chicago
at IA cents, and local dealers paid the
same price. Now this is one side of
the case, the local dealers could not
pay these prices except for the fact
that there is home demand for these
products, and yet, unless the towns
are supported by the neighboring
farmers, there will be no demand.

SAGE Tea Good for Health.

The ancients seem to have regard
ed sage as an herb of first import
ance to the physician, and the many
traditions concerning it refer almost
entirely to this aspect of the plant.
"Why should a man die who has sage
in his garden?" was one of the max
inns of the famous school of health at
Salerno. The belief in its virtues
survived through the middle ages and
was handed down with unimpared vi
tality to quite modern times.

aaa Fs5y ssusa.r. on Her String.

Forty men bad been paying court
to mysterious Bessie Dale, according
to letters found in the room of Mrs.
Rose Vinton, who, with her husband,
Charles Vinton, was arrested the
other day in st. Louis. They had
been taking her to places of a.nuse-
ment, spending money for her enter
tainment, each of them in the belief
that he was going to marry her, and
each thinking himself the one and
only object of her undying affection.
Some of the letters indicated that
the writer's had advanced money to
the object of their love in an effort
to help her out of some mysterious
trouble. According 70 the dates Of
the letters, the deception was carried
on for nearly year. The letters
were all addressed to Miss Bessie
Dale, SOP North Fifteenth street.
Some were in reply to matrimo-
niai advertisements, others were
written by men who inserted matri-
monial advertisements and received
replies from "Bessie Dale" Mrs.
-Vinton declares that she is not Bes-
sic Dale.
Recently Chief of Police Gillespy
received complaints from several of
the letter writer's. They stated to
the chief that they doubted the sim
cerity of Miss Dale. They did not
believe she was looking for a hus-
band, but just wanted some one to
spend money on her.

Man, wife and Three Children sialn.

Charlotte, ~. c., July 14.-Between
the hours OF and 2 O'clock this morn
ing an unknown person or persons en-
tered the house OF Ike Lyerly, q we'll
known farmer and merchant, residing
near Barber's junction, forty miles north
OF here. killing Lyerly, his wife and three
of their youngest children-Janie and
johnnie, aged and IL, and the infant
baby, Alice, and set fire to the house.
The parents and the three children
were sleeping in front room on the first
floor. Two older daughters were sleep
ing up stairs, and they were unmolested.
They were awakened by smoke aud
flames from below, the intruders having
set fire tn the house.
When they reached the lower floor
most horrible and appalling scene greeted
them. They beheld their father, mother
and three children dead in bed with their
heads crushed and faces badly disfgured.
These giSls, Mary and Addie, aged 1S
apd 16, respectively, managed tn cary
the bodies out OF the house and extln-
guish the flames. They then ran to the
him the awful story of the tragedy.

A later dispatch says that only Mr..
Lyerly, his wife and little son, johnnie,
were murdered outright, and their little
daughter, Alice, wounded seriously,
there being no chance for her recovery.
The child's skull is crushed in, the fore
head resting on the brain. The little
girl, jamie, was asleep with the two
elder daughters upstairs.
The motive of the killing is not def
| nitely known, but it is supposed it was
because Lyerly had refused to employ
certain negroes. One negro is reported
as having said: 1.-THE old man may cut
his grain, but he'll never live to eat it."

Sick Cattle stilI Killed and Canned.

Chicago, July 13.--Secretary Wilson,
of the Department. of Agriculture, an
nounced Tuesday that while the question
of liability of injecting human beings by
passing of tuburc1lar and "lumpy jaw"
pending he would not instruct his in
speotors to change their custom.
This means that cattle infected with
tuberculosis and lumpy jaw will be
killed as they were prior to the denunci-
alton of the practice of inspection in
allowing such diseased carcasses to be
used for food by many veterinary experts
and pathologists of the country. The
infected portion will be cut out and the
remainder of the carcass will be sent to
markets for tables of consumers.
