FOR THE CHILDREN
The Magic Penny.

Procure a small round box about an
inch deep, to which ft accordingly a
penny. Line the box with any dark
paper for instance and paste
some of it on the side of the coin, so
that when it lies in the lower part OF
the box it shall appear like the bottom
Of the box. This penny is concealed
In the hand, and before performing the
trick it will heighten the effect IL q
number of single pennies are hidden
about the room in places known to
yourself. Having borrowed coin,
you dexterously place this on one side
and substitute the prepared one and
putting 1t gravely into the box, ask an
to be sure they have seen it enter.
When the lid is on, shake up and
down. The noise betrays the metal
Now command 1t to disappear and
shake laterally from side to side. As
the penny is made to fit accurately, no
noise is apparent. The coin seems to
be gone, in proof of which you open
the box and display the interior. The
paper on the coin conceals 1t, while
you direct the audience to look into O
book or pair of slippers for the miss
ing penny. The prepared coin can be
slipped out and the box handed round
for examination, In which, of course
nothing will be found. This trick may
be repeated two or three times with
the greatest success and Is so simple
that nobody guesses the manner dir

Premiams-This Years Fair Big.
ger and Better than Ever.

On Sept. 26th, 9th, 28th, 1907 will
be held the thirty fourth annual fair
of the Stevens County Agricultural
Society. The management predicts
that the Fair will this year be bigger
and better than ever before in the
history of the association.
The premium list which has been
distributed generally among the
people of the county is very complete
and liberal premiums are offered by
the Stevens county fair than by any
county fair in this part of the state.
In some departments, the premiums
are larger than those offered by the
state fair. For example the poultry
division. Here the premiums are
$3.50 first and $1.25 second, while the
state fair offers only $500 for first and
. $1.0O for second. 1t is the aim of the
management, not only to stimulate
pride in the production of the best,
but also to remunerate exhibitors for
their efforts and trouble.
Attention is called to the special
premium for farm display. 800 is to
be paid to exhibitors for this display.
Look at your premium list and pre-.
pare to compete for this liberal pre-
MUM.
There are twenty six special pre-
miums offered by the business men of
Morris. These are all liberal premiums
and are alone we'll worth competing
for.
Look at your premium lists and
prepare to exhibit something. The
amusement features will be better

The Three Fates,

The names Of the ''three fates"
were Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos. To
express the influence which they were
from birth to death they were shown
as spinning thread of gold, silver or
wool, now Tightening, now slackening,
and at last cutting it off. Clotho, the
youngest, put the wool around the
spindle, Lachesis spun it, and the aged
Atropos cut it off when man had to
die

ANDREW FALK
HANGS HIMSELF
COM MITTED SUICIDE AT THE
CITY JAIL.
Was Arrested on Account of Drunk
enness, ard Made Moose of His
Suspenders and Ended his Life.

Andrew Falk committed suicide in
the city Jail yesterday by hanging
himself. He was arrested yesterday
morning on account of drunk kenness
and was found dead about one o'clock.
1t is supposed that he committed the
deed about noon or before, as he was
seen by Policeman Peterson about II
O'Clock.
AS soon as the matter became
known, DIR. Hulburd and DIR. Leuty
were summoned and did what they
could to revive him, but were unable
to do so. The body remained in the
jail until evening, when it was viewed
by Coroner Caine and removed to the
undertaking rooms.
Falk hung himself by making loop
from his suspenders, which he tied to
the top of the cage and then thrust
his head thru the loop. Death was
due to strangulation.
Andrew Falk was the son of Iver
Falk and has been resident of Nor
sis for Is years. On account of his
continual inebriety, his family have
been in poor circumstances for years,
but Falk often declared that he would
hanp himself rather than reform He
leaves a wife and three children, the
latter being among some of the bright
est pupils in the public schools.
The funeral will be held Sunday.

A Famous Crow.

There was once a crow which had q
very grand funeral. Pliny has told uS
the story. This bird on account Of It's
extraordinary accomplishments had
been the pet of all Rome. So angry
were the Romans with the man who
killed it that they had him executed
for the crime. The crow was honore6
with a public funeral. Its body was
placed on a bier and so carried in state
to it's grave. 1t was preceded by u
band playing a funeral march and WEE
followed by crowd Of mourners.
This curious incident occurred in the
reign of Emperor Claudius.

Of the freight wreck which inter-
ferred with the man service on the
Great Northern Monday, the Benson
Times says. 'sSeven cars on an east
bound freight, five filed with lumber
and two with grain, went off the track
nearly mile west of the river Sunday
evening, the accident being caused by
a broken flange. The track was torn
up badly and all of the cars practically
converted into kindling wood. No
one was hurt. The wrecker was sent
for and most of the lumber taken out
and loaded into other cars and some
of the grain saved. The wood work
of the cars and part of the lumber
was burned up and by yesterday noon
all was in shape for the passenger
trains. Sunday nights trains passed
around by way of Evansville and
Willmar and yesterday morning stub
train came up from the latter place
and took the passengers from here
going east.O

a canvass of the states to ascertain
what sentiment was held by the peo-
pie in regard to President Roosevelt
since the publication of the Hartman
letter. With but two exceptions the
replies that came in were to the eff
feet that the presidents position had
been strengthened with the people,
who felt that outside of the great work
he has already accomplished in their
interests his greatest recommendation
lies in the bitter attacks he is sub
jected TO by the criminal corporations.

STRANGE THING NOTICED.

One of the strangest things noticed
on the new c. c. & L. time card and
of which much has been said in this
city, is the lack of day trains to and
from Cincinnati. From Richmond to
Cincinnati there is no day train be-
tween the hours of 4:05 in the morn
ing. until 5.15 in the afternoon. There
are only two trains from Cincinnati to
Rfchmod. one leaving the Queen City
at $40 in the morning aud arriving
here at 1886; the next leaving Gin
cinnati at 90 p. m. and arriving here
at Ills. Between Richmond and Pc
III there are three daily trains AMI one
Sunday train which runs through from
Cincinnati to Chicago and vice versa.
Some local people are at loss to under
stand why the road does not take the
same care of the travellers south. that
it does those going toward Chicago.

C. C.&L. OFFICERS PLEASED
LIBERAL PATRONAGE is BEING
GIVEN THE THROUGH
SERVICE.
BalIasthg is the Thing Most Needed
and This Will be
Pushed.

Officials of the c., G.. & l.. railroad
are we'll pleased with the interest OF
the public in the new extension of the
road and the liberal patronage given
it during the past three days, since
establishment of the through sched-
ule between Cincinnati and Chicago.
The number of tickets sold all along
the line has increased materially. AT
present the run between the two cities
is made on a ten hour schedule and
the trains have successfully made the
time each day. Later on it Is said the
running schedule will be reduced to
eight hours, but in case this is done
additional improvements on the line
north of Hammond will have to be
made Ba1lasting is the thing most
needed and the spring work trains
will push toward the northern extern
sion at the start The officials Of the
road say that they are going to do all
within their power to attract the pub
lie gaze to their line and will offer
still additional improvements to Sc
cure the through business between the
two cities.
