southside Boys Go After EN-.

Estes and l.. J. Coonan, company
of Southside's prosperous ranchers
invaded town Monday on a business
trip, and incidentally to talk for the
Wenatchee bridge, which by the way
is good thing all but the stinger.
However they had the courage to
invade the sanctum of the Press Of
fee and leave their grub baskets
such an unheard of thing never hap
pening-and proceeded to dismember
the Waterville Commercial club for
"bucking" the bridge proposition.
Mr.. Estes, who was the authorized
spokesman, proceeded to do up Pres
ident Rogers in hurry and then
turned his battery loose on the edi-
tor of the Press, who soon begged for
mercy and agreed to give Wenatchee
the whole of Douglas county with a
fence around it. If this be the kind
of fellows the Soutnside Farmers
club is composed of we don't want
to meet any more of them until we
get away with that basket of grub

For two years the college worked
on the Goblin moth at Yakima and
Mr.. Elliott was glad to state; that
they had conquered the question.
They had saved some of the settlers
from $1,000, to $4,000 for the
state, and had done the same in
other lines in other places. The col
lege is now working on the squirrel
poison problem, ,Palouse wild oats,
and other propositions.
The subject advocated by Mr.. Ell
lott is a first-class thing for the
Quincy country and it is hoped our
farmers will cooperate and have the
station placed here.-Quincy Gazette.

Il
fine compliment when he stated that
the grain here last year did better
than at any experimental station of
1.-THE college. This was chiefly due to
the snowfall and the early season we
have.
Working on this precedent Mr.. Ell
lliott is anxious to start an expert
mental station at this point and his
visit was principally to interest the
farmers In the project. He would
like to secure from 40 to so acres
as near town as possible, the same
to be in charge of the station for
three years, part of the land to be
under different stages of cultivation.
This land will be plowed as early
in the spring as possible, then the
ground will be packed with Camp
bell sub-soil surface packer, which
is an instrument similar to a disc
harrow and is used to pack down the
surface of the soil, thereby holding
in the moisture. The ground is then
narrowed every little while similar
to summerfallow. We have plenty of
moisture, the object is to keep it. If
the ground is neglected the moisture
escapes. Mr.. Elliott was at Denver
last summer when the land was
much drier than it is here and the
results they obtain from experiment.
ing are certainly worth the work
they do.
The experimental land will be cut
up into strips about rods wide
and a man will be employed con-
stantly in taking care of these strips
which will have different kinds of
grain and vegetables planted there
in. Strict observance will be taken
of the results and everything will
be done to find what grains do best
here.
Ten years ago the first sub-soil
packer was brought into Ritzville by
Mr. Buchanan, and although Mr. Blu
chanan did not know how to prop
erly work the machine or gave it
any attention, his crop of oats in
creased by five bushels more than on
the land beside it that had not been
gone over by the packer. With good
work the crop should increase from
25 to 40 bushels.
Mr. Elliott in his address stated
that he wanted the cooperation of
the citizens of Quincy in starting a
station here, not so much for his
benefit, but for the benefit of the
farming community hereabouts. All
he wanted was the land placed in
his care free of charge and the state
would bear the expenses. There is
now a bill in the house for an ex-
penditure of $4,000 for this purpose
and he wished the citizens would
try for share of it.
AS one of the examples of the
work done at Pullman, Mr. Elliott
stated that he had some wheat sent
out here in 1899 which was n.y.
bridized and he grew an enormous
quantity and variety. A thousand
varieties were thrown away and
about a hundred kept, which were re-
planted and after working over them
they were reduced to 20 varieties
These in turn were reduced to 23 va
rieties. The idea was to get wheat
with a close compact head which
would not shell or rust and would
produce abundantly. Turkey Red

BAD EXPLOSION
IN CEDAR FALLS
BUSINESS BLOCK IN CENTER OF
TOWN DEMOLISHED.
CAUSED BY DYNAMITE OR GAS
Fire Broke Out and Completes Awful
Destruction - Three of Cedar
Falls Finest Buildings
Are Heaps Of Ruins.

Cedar Falls, la, Aug. 26.-An ex-
plosion in the rear of George Sheerer
& Co.'S hardware store last night
started blaze that did damage to the
extent OF practically $4,000. At
midnight the flames were gotten UNI
der control, but three buildings had
been entirely destroyed and the stocks
of goods contained in them lost. 1t
is estimated that the insurance on
buildings and stocks will not be more
than two-thirds the loss.
The origin of the flames, aside
from the fact that it was an explosion
in the hardware store, is not known.
1t is believed by many that a quantity
of dynamite that was kept in stock
in some manner was Jared, causing
it to explode. Another theory is that
escaping gas ignited and set fire to
the building, setting off the dynamite.
The shock of the explosion was felt
over the city AMI hundreds of win
dows were broken for blocks around
the scenes of the fire.
Three Buildings Destroyed.
Three buildings were burned to the
ground. The loss on them is esti'
mated at $4,000 and on their con-
tents $4,000.
The building are:
The Boston store building, owned
by w. H. Mentally, $4,000.
Sneerer building, owned by r. w.
Christy, $4,000.
Carpenter building, owned by Win
Carpenter, $4,000
The Mat With Novelty Company
the Gaham Dry Goods Company, and
the Owen Cafe also suffered lesser
losses.
In the Boston store block, Drs. Van
Devere and Miller, the Peterson bar
Der shop, the law firm of Cummins &
Daugherty, and J. B. Newman, law
yer, were also burned out and their
loss is total.
Explosion Startles Town.
The town was practically all asleep
when the explosion occurred. There
was no one in the vicinity at the
time, but within few seconds after
the explosion, people rushing to the
streets saw two of the buildings com.
pletely wrecked. their walls already
falling and the third wrapped in
flames.
The fire department responded
promptly to the alarm but it was evil
dent that there was no possibility to
save the three buildings or anything
contained in them and the firemen
directed their attention to preventing
the flames from spreading. They
we're successful in this, although the
heat did great damage to the other
buildings in the block and across the
street.
AS far as can be learned, no one
has been injured, although it is GER
tain that if there was any person in
the hardware building at the time the
explosion occurred he could not have
escaped alive.

This was the pastors text. 1t was a
sermon ON sentiment, human sympa-
thy and emotion. The speaker said
in part: Il am not sure that there has
not been too much sentimentalism in
religion. We must not be stoical and
we should not be too emotional. Some
people have gotten the idea that when
they have enjoyed an emotional church
service they are filed with religion
and have renewd their religious life.
Pure religion as defined by James is
more than sentiment. God has given
us an emotional and sympathetic ma
ture. 1t is only human to be sympa-
thetic, and quite inhuman to be devoid
of sympathy. Like all the noble quail
tiles of the soul 1t may be repressed
and stunted and warped until it is
unresponsive. Affected sympathy is
hypocrisy of the worst sort. Jesus

hearts of the great common people
