Friends Assist Farmer.

About thirty Of the friends and
neighbors of Mr.. and Mis-. Herman
Weis, living south of Nashua, did a
very friendly act for these people,
who both lie i'll with typhoid fever
and a little S-year-old daughter how
ering between life and death with
the same disease. They went to the
home Saturday and put in sixty
acres for Mr.. Weis.
There We're thirty men and 100
head of horses and they accomplish
ed the work in six hours. The gen.
tlemen took their dinners with them
and at noon enjoyed picnic lunch.
While the gentlemen were doing
this, six of the ladies in that locality
put in the garden for the family. 1t
is such acts of kindness as this that
count when a family is so sadly af-
flicted.

Lamp Explosion Causes Fire.

Everything seems to happen on
press day. even fires. AS we were
coming to the Office after dinner to-
day we were diverted from our
course by the cry of fire The fire
was in the town hall which was all
ablaze in the interior of the room
where the hose care and hook and
ladder cart are kept. BY heroic eff
forts the fire apparatus was rescued
from the burning building and two
nozzles were promptly playing on
the flames and the fire soon put
out. Marshal Pletka had just filled
a gasoline street lamp and pumped
it up and lighted it. to test it and
had stepped out for moment when
the lamp exploded and blew open
the doors at both ends of the engine
room Mr.. Pletka and j. j. Mashek
were just on the point of entering
the engine room when the explosion
came, and fortunate indeed were
they in not being in the room at the
time.-Calmar Courier.

A SMOOTH SWINDLER.
Clever Artist Plying His Trade in
Northeastern Iowa Should be
Watched For.

Local police officers have received
word from Nebraska requesting
them to on the watch for John
l.. Butler, alias John Hoover, alias
John H. Kline, a smooth swindler
who under pretense Of buying farm
ing property, attempts to borrow
large sums and once the money is
in his possession disappears leaving
but forged deed to a farm his Sc
curity. Mr.. Butler who successfully
worked this game at Fremont, Neb..
is believed to be in northern Iowa,
seeking other victims, and farmers
had best beware. A. Bauman, Jr.,
sheriff of Fremont, Neb., states that
Butler approaches real estate deal
ers in the small cities, representing
that he wishes to buy a small farm,
and he permits the real estate men
to show him about the country, fin
ally selecting farm which he in
tends to buy. Within a few days
he manages to secure a facsimile of
a notary public seal, and FORCES the
names of both this notary, and the
owner of the farm to a deed, which
he represents to the real estate
agents, declaring that he has just
closed the deal for the farm in
question and being in need of ready
money that ne wishes to loan a sum
ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 and
will put up the deed to the farm as
security. Having previously care
fully paved the way for his loan
through conversations he has had
with the real estate men. while
driving about the country with them.
he almost invariably succeeds in
making the loan, and Immediately
cashes the check, which he receives
at local bank, and escapes leaving
the forged deed behind.-Charles
