urday morning. The greater part of
the contents were saved. The loss is
partly covered by insurance in the
Linn county mutual of Meadville.
Mr.. Lewis has moved his family into
one of J. L. Woods residences near

Mrs. Gus Bruins, assisted by Mes

The home was prettily decorated in

in a most pleasant manner. In the

the prize. Mrs. G. E. Williamson, of
Charlton, Iowa, and Mrs. Lee Love

Farmers who had wheat sown are
over the first snow of the
season, which fell last Tuesday night.
The snow began to fall about 8 o'clock
Tuesday night and by the next morn
ing was at least four inches deep on
the level. The continued dry wealth
er had nearly killed the wheat in this
locality, but it is thought that the
snow came in time to save it and do
an immense amount of good. Stock
water is also becoming scarce and
big rain is needed before winter sets
in in earnest. Tuesday nights snow
was general throughout the state.
The price of corn will never again
be as low as it was ten or fifteen years
ago. Within the memory of many
Linn county farmers corn sold as low
as from IL to Is cents per bushel, but
It will meyer sell so low again, no mat
ter the size of the crop. This is due
to the constantly increasing demand
for corn, occasioned by the diversified
uses to which it is put and to the fact
that SO many Missourians are putting
their land to grass. And the price of
corn has become permanently higher,
and will remain at good figure. The

WHAT 70 EAT.

The writer Of an article which ap.
zines not long ago waved eloquent over
the virtues of pork aud directed his In.
vective against so.called health foods
Of various kinds. Not content with this.
he must rldlcule the advocates of slow
eating and careful masticatlon. In his
opinion. boiling meats was u good thing,
aud white bread was preferable to
whole wheat. All the pet ideas OF vcge.
tnrians and other food reformers were
absurd. Another authority. DR.. Alex.
ander llaig. Of London, had an article
In an English review which set forth
u very different view Of the diet ques.
tion, ana gave his theories In general
while combating the tea habit. DIR.
liaig would exclude all meats and eggs.
The foods he suggests to supply force
ana endurance are the cereals for the
most part, though he believes In the use
OF milk products and Of vegetables,
fruits and nuts. lie considers all stim.

thority would undoubtedly consider this
second one hopeless crank, but Is veg.

gone over In recent number Of the New

summary Of the conclusions arrived ut

THE ESCAPE Of >~ss,ss,
"GIMPY BILL, ,

Every resident of San Francisco
knows ''Gimpy Bill" though perhaps
not by that name He is a cripple
and mendicant who sells lead pencils
on Market Street. HIS legs have been
cut on at the very hips. and in place
OF legs he moves on wheeled plat
forms, strapped to the stumps He
works himself along the pavements
with two short canes, and his head is
about at the level OF the head OF n
dog. He is a man on castors instead
OF legs.
When the earthquake came Bin
was sleeping near Montgomery
region which got heavy shock. His
street legs were unstrapped. but he
had his clothes on. He was pitched
about the room like an empty demi-
john. A heavy cornice fell through
the ceiling of his room and missed
him by foot. He rolled away from
the wreck and managed TO get TO his
rollers. which he strapped on.
He tried the door. but the wreck
age outside il had penned him in, a
prisoner. He trundled himself TO the
window. and saw. that the district
was already on fire. Bill made Il
back TO his bed, twisted the blankets
and sheets in TO rope, tied his canes
about his neck with cord, and slid
out OF the window. His rope was too
short. At the end of Il, he hung
ten feet above the street. There
he swung and yelled. afraid OF what
the drop might do To his trundle
platforms. until some one passing
threw up pile Of boxes and helped
him down.
In one day, driven always back
ward by the fire. this cripple covered
about 4 miles. ending in camp in
Golden Gate park. At one time he
grabbed the tailboard of a wagon
and held on, his platforms humping
over the cobbles. At another time
his only way of exit from the fire was
across Russian hill, up which an
italian boy pulled him with n rope
for ten cents..-New York Sun.
