SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
A Seemingly Unaccountab'e Fire in
Mr.. Schneckloth's Residence.

The ringing of the fire alarm on
Monday at four in the afternoon call
ed the fire department and many citi-
zens to the handsome residence of
Mr.. Schneckloth in the north part of
town. Smoke was found issuing
from the cellar and it was evident
there was fire about the premises.
On the arrival of the fire company
the hose was connected with the pug
in front of the Meyers residence and
soon stream wss poured on the cell
lar. 1t did not take long to put the
fire out. There was no one in the cell
Ter at the time and no fire in the fur
mace all day. The fire was in bar
rell in which had been placed rags
and old carpet which had recently
been about the rose bushes IN the
yard. Mrs. Schneckloth and daughter.
Miss Emily were at home and much
scared when the smoke began to pour
from the cellar. No damage was
done which is fortunate indeed. The
only way to account for the fire is
from spontaneous combustion.

nothing they had done. or left undone
should have prejudiced the mind of
their father against them if the
brothers had not used undue influence
to poison his mind as to them.
The sons set forth that the will is
the act of their father when he knew
just what he was doing. 1t was
drawn by Banker Santee of Battle
Creek an witnessed by two neighbors,
VIM. Lill and Fritz Schoenfeld read to
the father and he understood what it
said. There will probably be extend
ed argument before the jury.

few days and brought in two indict-
ments. AS the parties are not vet

A FINE BUNCH OF CATTLE.
The Jocks Brothers Deliver and Sci
an Extra Good Bunch of Cattle.

1t is not every feeder who can take
bunch of cattle and bring them up
to fifteen hundred. and so we make
note of the sale at Denison on Satur-
day of certain cattle fed by two farm
ers of Hanover. Emil Jocks had
twenty head which averaged 1850.
and he received S6 25. Herman had
twenty five head which averaged 146S
and he sold for s6 60. There was a
bull in addition which tipped the
scales at % ard sold for S4. so.
The cattle were very ey5n and as fine
bunch as has been sold here for a
long time. At some meeting of farm
ers, it will be in order to have talks
from the Jocks Brothers as to Tow
to feed such cattle.

AT THE FAIR GROUNDS

We were out at the Fair grounds
yesterday morning, and found Presi-
dent Robinson and Secretary Williams
and a little army of carpenters busy
at work.
They have thoroughly repaired the
fence and are placing the race rack in
first rate condition.
A main building has been erected
for the exhibition of agricultural and
horticultural products, and an apart
ment has been specially prepared for
articles of ladies' handiwork
There have also been erected sta
bles for the exhibition of horses and
cattle, and a number of pens for
swine.
a part of the grand stand has been
improvised into building, and it is
here where the poultry will be exhibit
ed The poultry exhibit will be large
and it is hoped that peafowls, geese
duck, guineas and turkeys will be in
cluded in the exhibit.
But the great feature Of the fair
viii be the exhibit Of live stock.
It is, however, predicted that the
entire fair will be a revelation anC
will lead to a permanent exhibition.
This one is merely preparatory. T
/ has been gotten together hurried!
and with a most meagre subscription
! list.
When it is seen how much can b,
/ done with so little and in SO short ;
time, greaer efforts will be made t,
do more next season.
More money and more time will b,
/ expended.
Besides being a revelation, this fai
will have paved the way for a perma
uent institution, the full value o
which cannot be measured in dollar
and cents to our county.
Let's all, from this day till the fai
closes. make a long pull, a strong pu
and a pull altogether to make it
success.
