of the Italian renaissance, occupies a
prominent position with the forty
acres of Cathedral Close. More than

Phoebe A: Hearst to the Cathedral Of
st. Peter and st. Paul. This gift was
supplemented by one from Miss NJ. w.
Bruce, who gave Bishop Satterlee a
sum sufficient to equip the building.

THEY TOOK THE MONEY
THE MIL WAUKEE DEPOT
BROKEN INTO
CASH DRAWER TORN OFF
And Mail Sacks Taken. Rob-
berry Occurs While Night
Operator Is At
Lunch

Last Monday night when Operator
Cross got ready to go to his lunch, it
is very evident that some thieves were
watching his movements and were
posted as to detail. He went to lunch
between IL and IL and when he returned
found that the glass had been broken
out of the north window in the office,
the stops pulled and the window
removed. The thieves then entered
the office, wrenched the money drawer
off, took the mail sack which had been
taken down for No. and made their
getaway. 1t is reported from the
depot that they got about forty-flve
dollars in cash out of the money drawer.
Of course, no one knows what they
secured from the mail sack.
The money drawer was found the
next day near the west elevator. The
mail sack has not been found as yet.
The officers are making every effort to
find the guilty parties, but apparently
they are we'll versed in their trade and
have left no clue.

.PAULSON IS SECOND
WEBSTER CREAMERY SCORE
AGAIN
EXHIBITS At THE STATE FAIR
Comes Within One-Ha1f Per
Cent of Being The
Winner OF The
First Prize

E. A. Paulson, the butter-maker at
the Webster Creamery, has been at
several of the exhibits and fairs and
usually comes away with one of the
prizes. This year at the state fair at
Huron was no exception. On Septem-
Der ID he received the Following tele-
gIam. "Your exhibit secured second
premium. You scored ninety-six. Con-
CALCULATIONS. First premium scored
ninety-six and one-half. The Clear
Lake Creamery"
We all know here that the Webster
Creamery has always made the very
best butter on the market and we are
pleased to have the fact impressed
upon the authorities at the state fair.
It is just barely possible that slip
might have been made of half of one
per cent-but then we did very well
and Mr.. Paulson cannot expect to win
every time.

School Notes

The physiology class of the high
school have been making some very
interesting and instructive experiments
in diffusion and fermentation, They
have demonstrated that yeast is a
microscopic plant that gives off carbon
dioxide and alcohol, which, when mixed
with the dough, causes it to rise and
become porous, allowing the heat to
reach all portions that it may be cooked
uniformly. The alcohol passes off by
evaporation.
A number of experiments have been
made to demonstrate the properties of
alcohol. The white of an egg and a
piece of beef were each put into a
beaker containing alcohol and the water
was soon extracted from each, leaving
them hard and dry. These and other
experiments showed conclusively that
alcohol extracts water from the tissues
when taken into the body and thus
renders the different tissues incapable
of performing their normal functions.
The thirst of the victim of excessive
indulgence indicates the loss of water
to the tissues. Alcohol increases oxida-
ton which makes the person, under its
influence, feel that he is living a num-
Der of lives in one-he is-and it takes
him days to reach his normal state
again. 1t lowers the judgment and
thereby causes one, under its influence,
to have magnifed value of his achiev-
ments.
The experiment in osmosis or diffusion
disclosed the property of animal men,
branes by virtue of which nourish-
ment may pass through them, although
the most powerful microscope fails to
reveal any pores in them.

Haynes On County Fair

The continual wet weather up to last
Saturday, put damper on the Day
county fair. Fortunate were those
who were present on the aforesaid day
The display of vegetables, fruit and
grain was matter of surprise to all.
Talk about dry season, why there
was no evidence of such an occur ance.
When you gazed on the fine varities of
apples, crabs, plums and cherries
raised right at home-here IN Day
county-it surely made one feel that
he lived in fruit country. The vege-
tables were equal to, if not better,
than those on exhibition at any fair
the writer ever attended. The corn
was excellent but the wheat exhibit
was not up to the standard. If the
fine exhibit could have been taken to
the state fair at Huron it would have
spoken volumes of the productiveness of
Day county, but on account of lack of
funds, this was out of the question.
But year hence it may be different.
One of the officers of the association
remarked that many of those who had
products on exhibition had sent them
with friends and that the producers
had not visited the fair at all. This is
not ''fair" deal. If all should resort
to these methods, just imagine what a
slim attendance there would be. 1t is
a duty you owe the officers, who have
worked so faithfully, and to the county
in which you reside to boost for all
that pertains to its welfare, and this
can not be done by proxy.-Andover

LOST HIS RIGHT ARM.
HUNTING ACCIDENT AT
FLORENCE TUESDAY
BENJAMIN DUNKIN INJURED
The Genial Proprietor OF The
Florence Hotel Injured BY
Gun Falling Off The
Seat In A Buggy

A telephone message this morning
from Wyman Ryder brings the bad
news that Benjamin Dunkin, the genial
proprietor of the Florence hotel, who
is well and favorably known to. every
one who makes that city, had accident.
ally shot himself on Tuesday.
Mr.. Dunkin was out hunting with a
party of friends and along in the day,
over at the Joseph harrington place,
one of the dogs became very tired and
Mr.. Dunkin placed his gun in the wagon
and then lifted the dog up to put him
in. How it happened no one knows,
but the gun was knocked down and
went off and the full charge of shot
passed through Dunkin's arm.
His comrades loaded him in the buggy
and hurried for medical assistance. DR..
Mullen, of Florence, called Doctors
Carvel and Campbell, of Watertown,
and after consultation it was decided
that his best chance for recovery was
by removing the arm which was done.
He recovered from the operation in
good shape and is now doing as we'll as
could be expected.
We do not hope to persuade people
that loaded gun has no place in any
buggy or any house. There is only one
place for loaded gun and that is in
some persons hands who knows how to
use it in the field. This is just one
more reminder that a gun cannot be
handled too carefully and should, at al
times, be unloaded when put down.
