Mail Car Overturned.

Last night in the course of the
usual switching necessary to
transfer the mail car from the st.
Paul train to the DEBORAH train, a
collision occurred that caused the
overturning of the mail car. The
two mail clerks were pretty badly
shaken up. 1t was fortunate
thing for them that the stove re-
manned intact else it might have
been much worse for them as it was
some little time before they could
get out of the car. e. H.4O'Rorke
had an arm and leg injured, and
ID. c. Devine. the other clerk, was
injured about the head and arm.
AS we understand it, in the act of
coupling coach to the mail car
it got started down the incline in
the yard and before it could be
stopped 1t came in contact with a
freight train.-Calmar Courier.

Train Load of Tractors.

A train load of Hart-Parr tractor
engines left Charles City over the
Illinois Central for Fargo, N. d.
one day last week. They were sent
to Moore Brothers the same firm
which received the. eighty engines
last winter.
The train consisted of nineteen
cars, each car had two engines.
The value of the shipment was
about $4,000. The train is to run
only in daylight and will stop first
in Minneapolis. The run from there
to Fargo is to take the second and
third days. Two more train loads
of engines are TO be made up for
Canada later in the season.

New Use For Automobiles.

Joel Brown, farmer living in
Elm Grove township, has adopted a
new use for his automobile. He is
the owner of fifty horse power
machine. Recently having drove
of hogs to take to market he rugged
up a wagon train, the first of its
kind seen in this part of the coun-
try. He rented seven wagons of
neighbors and chained them to the
axle of the auto. Nine big hogs
were loaded into each wagon. The
train of wagons and the chugging
auto at the head made a remark
able sight.-Lake City News.

Convicts Are Cutting Ice.

The cold weather of the first part
of the week has made most excellent
ice in the river, and the entire
length of the upper Mississippi is
now alive with ice cutters Thou
sands of tons are being stored away
in the hundreds of ice houses, and
hauled to inland cities.
The most novel sight along the
entire river is that near Fort Madi-
son, where gangs of convicts from
the penitentiary, under guard, are
busy cutting and hauling ice to re-
plenish the state penitentiary's ice
houses.

Dear Old Thanksgiving
Day.

remember, remember
Thanksging long ago,
The day was always crisp and bright,
The ground was white with snow.
Meath buffalo robes we nestled close
In our big double sleigh
And dashed away to grandmamma's
To spend happy day.
remember, I remember
The farmhouse kitchen clean,
Upon whose shining, painted floor
No speck was ever seen.
And, oh, the appetizing sights
The pantry shelves would show,
Where pickles, doughnuts, tarts and
cheese
Stood in tempting row!
I remember, remember
The turkey of great size,
The squash and turnips, homemade
bread
And golden pumpkin pies.
Grandpapa's bent and hoary head
Inever can forget.
Il wonder if the dear old man can be
a-living yetD
/ remember, remember
Oh, guess that's enough!
I really can't write any more
Of this old-fashioned stuff.
I only know of it from books,
But this thought gives me joy
We're further from that sort of thing
Than when I was boy.

pounds each will be harvested this
season, have refused offers of so cents

Green hops shrink about rs per cent in
the process of drying and baling, and
at 50 cents pound the gross receipts
would be a matter of 81 100000 for the

estimated at about $4,000 bales. or
10 per cent more than the short yield
