BEER KEG BLOWS OPEN.
Warm Weather Causes Beer Keg to
Explode and Clerk in Express
Office Gets Soaked.

There was more beer sold and
given away in Hampton the Fourth
than any day in its hosiery, still
the man who wabbled while passing
along the sidewalk was not to be
seen. Under the laws liquor can
not be shipped from one point in
Iowa to another point in the state,
and as a consequence practically all
of the booze which comes to Hamp-
ton is shipped over the Adams EX-
press Company from Albert Lea.
For two days previous and on the
Fourth the express messenger hauled
load after load from the depot,
while many of the patrons went di-
rect to the depot and carried it
away from there, preferring not to
come up town and carry it home thru
the streets, where everybody could
see them.
The weather was warm enough to
make the stuff in the kegs fairly siz-
zle, and one ten gallon key blew up
in the back end of the express Office,
which certainly made things hum
around there for a while. The back
window was blown out, the knob
knocked off the door and half of the
shirt was jerked from the back of
one of the clerks and beer and foam
was left running down his cheeks,
while the whole inside of the room
had an odor that resembled a million
barrel brewery plant.-Hampton

THIRTY-FIvE HORSES BURN.
Big Fire at the Lehigh Cement Plant

Big Barn.

Thirty-fve head of valuable horses

hay and other feed besides harness
and wagons, We're consumed between
ten o'clock and midnight July 4th at
Mason City, by a fire which broke
out in one of the large barns owned
by the Lehigh Cement Co. So rapidly
did the flames spread through the
mammoth structure, that despite ev-
cry effort of a big crowd of men,
mostly employees of the plant who
quickly gathered that less than a
half dozen animals were saved.
While up till noon the exact number
Of cremated animals was not known

was thought at least thirty-five were
burned and perhaps more. A num-
Der have not been found.

Electric Lights,

Electric light is now cheaper. The
last argument of other lighting sys-
TENS is gone and they can no long
er offer even the claim of economy.
With Mazda Tungsten Lamps, cleo
trio light becomes at once a greater
luxury and also much cheaper. The
distinctive feature of the Tungsten
Lamp is the metal filament, which
gives a greater quantity of clear,
white light with about one-third
the electricity required by old style
lamps giving the same candle pow
er. 1t will pay you to investigate
this new lamp whether you are now
using electric light or not. We would
like to tell you about these new
lamps. Upper Iowa Power Co.
