HORSES
Burned To Death In Fire At
Hunts Station
Barn Struck By Lightning
During Storm
Hay, Grain And Farm lmpIe.
mGntS Destroyed

A large barn owned by Mr.. e. w.
Ewers, which is located about three
miles east of Hunts Station, was COM
pletely destroyed by fire early Satur-
day morning. At about 4:3O o'clock
in the morning Mr.. Way, who lives
near the place where the barn stood,
heard sharp peal Of thunder, which
was preceded by vivid flash Of light
ming. Thinking little of this, he did
not investigate to see If any damage
had been done, but about ten minutes
later, he saw reflection against his
window, apparently caused by fire. He
got up and looked out of the window
and discovered the barn, which by this
time was a mass of flames. Quickly
summoning aid he made an attempt
to save the three fine horses, which
he knew to be in the stable of the
barn, but in this he failed as the heat
was too great and the animals were
left to perish. In addition to this loss,
the barn was full of hay, grain and
farm implements, all of which were
destroyed. Fortunately no one was in
jured during the fire, as a number of
daring attempts were made to rescue
the suffering animals from the stable
The loss to Mr.. Ewers will probably
exceed one thousand dollars over the
small insurance which he carried on
his property.

INSECT PESTS
How To Control Them Demon.
Strated At Fair
Practical Suggestions By
College Of Agriculture

The exhibit made at the county fair
by the College Agriculture will have
something worth thinking about in
every feature.
The control of insect and weed
pests can be learned by studying the
life history of the pest. New varie-
ties of fruit can be propogated and
trees protected. Economy in feeding
results from knowing the purpose in
feeding and the elements in the feeds.
Some practical hints will be found in
the exhibit made by the College of
Agriculture at the Knox county fair.
Taste in dress and decoration in the
home and the improvement of the in
terror and exterior of the rural school
and home should find their counter
part in good taste in the dining room
and kitchen. The College of Agri-
culture is mindful of its duty in offer
ing some suggestions.
Now this exhibit made by the Col
lege of Agriculture is not the greatest
and the only exhibit but the fact that
some of the most practical sugges-
tions are offered without price for ad-
mission puts it up to you whether or
not you care to hear or see what the
state is trying to do.
This display is not made for enter
tainment; it is made for instruction.
We need both to live well. What can
not be secured in one place may be Sc
cured at another. The College of
Agriculture will try to do its part to
instruct. The large banner or sign
will show you the way.

In addition to those named the at
tendance will include hundreds OF 9th.
er notable representatives of the
Catholic Church in the United States,
Canada, Mexico, South America and
the countries of Europe. The laity as
well as the clergy will be well repre-
sented. Probably the most notable
laymen to be present is the Duke Of
Norfolk, the premier duke of England
The great rendezvous of the con.
gress on the devotional side will be
st. James Cathedral. Here. next Tues
day evening, the great gathering will
be formally inaugurated with a sol.
emn reception In honor of the Cardi.
nal Legate. Each morning during the
sitting of the congress high mass will
be celebrated Each evening there
will be vespers and benediction. On
Thursday q midnight mass for men
will be celebrated in Notre Dame
Church.
Archbishop O'Connell Of Boston has
been chosen to preach the open-air
sermon on Fletcher's Field, where an
imposing altar has been erected. Pom
tifical high mass will be celebrated In
st. Patrick's Church next Saturday,
where Archbishop Glennon of st.
Louis will preach. The next morning
Cardinal Gibbons will preach in st.
James Cathedral and the Cardinal Le-
gate himself will oficiate.
Undoubtedly the most spectacular
event in connection with the congress
will be the pontifical mass to be sung
in the open air in Mount Royal Park
Friday morning. There will be the
greatest procession of prelates of the
Catholic church, of priests and of
Catholic societies which has ever been
seer on this continent, accompanied
by all the pomp and splendor of which
the Catholic ceremonials are suscept-
ible.
Several of the largest halls in the
city have been engaged for the bus
mess meetings of the congress. These
meetings will be divided into French
and English for the hearing and dis
cussion of papers by the most emf
nent clerical and lay scholars of the
church.
The first International Eucharistic
Congress was held at Lille, France, in
1881, but was extremely small COM
pared with those held since. They
had their origin in a number of pill
grimages to well-known churches with
the object of honoring the blessed sac
rament, or in other words, of render.
ing homage to the fundamental Ro-
man Catholic belief of the real local
importance, and in due time a perma-
nent committee was appointed and ar
ranged for their organization on an
international basis. This is the Sec
ond occasion on which the congress
has been convened in an English
speaking country. The first occasion
was the meeting of the congress In
London several years ago.

week when he quoted the COURIER
as saying, following our state.
ment that we had not asked him
for his support for recorder of

thoroughbred, if you vote for the
other fellow you are q dirty bird
and q scrub, and if you prefer to
be q scrub rather than sthorough.

The P..S. would have it's read.

malIgn all who saw at to oppose
us should we become q candidate
for recorder of deeds.
Such q perversion of facts is
neither ''idiocy" "sbsurdity"
but it is wilIful, malicious lying.
What we said was addressed
direct to Ritzenthaler and reads
as follows:
"We have not asked you for
your support for recorder of
deeds, but if we do and you
should refuse to give it. there
would be nothing left for us to do
except to spank you and put you
to bed till after the primary cleo
ton.

thaler prefers to be q newspaper
scrub we allow him that privilege
without q murmur.
Take q few lessons from the
COURIER, Joe, and if you are not
bigger fool than Thompson's
colt you will, in course of time,
learn to tell the truth for which
you will never have occasion to
blush.
