Team Crashes Into Store.

Thursday evening shortly after nine
O'Clock those who were on Water
sect were startled by a loud crash
which sounded like some building had
collapsed. 1t seems that some one
who evidently was intoxicated drove
team up Water street on the run,
many supposing it was runaway.
and as this team passed the Haugen &
Dotseth bakery west of the post Office.
it frightened the blind team of
bronchos belonging to S. Severson, and
they ran at full speed across the street
and to the east until they came in con-
tact with the j. T. Relf store build
ing, where they crashed through the
west window, breaking an iron cross
bar. and sending the glass flying; in
all directions. They demolished
practically everything in the window,
and the side window as we'll. The
horses were quite badly cut by the
glass. but otherwise escaped without
injLry. Outside of the damage to the
store the loss is not large, but it falls
heavily on Mr.. Severson, who is a
poor man.

In fact the entire company consist

violinist, Miss Marshall, soprano.
Lester Luther, baritone. and Mrs.
Healey, pianist, makes an exception
ally strong combination and one we'll
worth hearing.
The season being so nearly ended
we understand that the Ladies of the
Fortnightly Club secured the COM
pany at very low figure which en-
ables them to sell tickets at an ex-
tremely popular price. about one-half
what the concert is really worth.

Pennies for Worthy Cause.

For some time past the proprietors
of the Empire Theatre having been
saving all the pennies that came into
the box office and whenever they
amounted to quite little sum. they
sent them to Mrs +. w. Conover,
president of the Ladies Aid Society,
to be used as the society saw fit in
doing good for the needy. The
amounts sent at various times have
amounted to quite sum in the aggre-
gate. and the management of the En-
pire are to be commended very highly
for these contributors to such wor-
thy cause.

Governor Cummins commenced his
campaign Of "speech- making" last
week in the southern part of the state
and proposes to use the follow up''
system throughout the state, until the
June primaries. Suppose his salary
goes ON just the same and the people
of the state are satisfied to have their
hard learned coin expended in this
manner. by paying state officers for
conducting their campaigns. What
would you think. if Senator Allison
would vacate his chair in the senate
chamber for the next two or three
