timated to be between $500 and

insurance was 5000 The Blue
Lodges loss is between 5000 and
$500, and 1t had no insurance The
Eastern Stars loss ranged between
$500 and $500 and as to whether
or not II had any insurance could not
be learned, The Odd Fellows lodge
carried an insurance of $325. but its
loss Is greatly In excess of that
amount, being estimated at about
5000. The Rebeka lodge also sus-
tanned a heavy loss. and carried only
an Insurance of $50. Just what the
loss of the Encampment and its in
suranee was could not be ascertained
The Pythian Sisters sustained con
siderable of loss, and carried no in
suranee. The Knights of Pythias
had an insurance of S225, but the
loss Is much in excess OF this
amount, as the lodge had recently
purchased much new equipment.

"This should mean half a crown, at

So he rang the bell, and waited till
his summons was answered by the
lady of the house.

What Was Done on the National
Holiday to Make Fun For the
Multitude

The chief attractions in the lineI
of sports was the base ball game bel
tween Alexandria and Long Prairie
which occurred at the fair grounds
at 2 p. m. An immense crowd, the
largest that has ever entered the
grounds, congregated to see that
game. The game was very fine ex-
hibition of the great national sport
and resulted in a shut out for Long
Prairie, the winners scoring two runs.
Alexandria had to fight for it, how
ever. 1t was good, clean base ball
without single kick on the umpire
or any rowdyism. Geo. Fish officiat-
ed as umpire and gave the best of
satisfaction.
i Preceding the ball game three horse
races were pulled off, purses, of $25
for each being up. The green race
l was won by c. d. MarshalPs horse
with C. w. Rage, second. The farm
|, er's race resulted in a win for r.
