IN SANTA
CLAUS GRIP.

Even the most cynical and ruthless
disregarder of the season of urban
ity and of enjoyment is in the grip
Of Santa Claus. A man would have
to be without sensibilities not to come
to some extent under the spell OF
the gentlest and most exhiiiarating Of
potentates. The streets are full OF
the spirit Of Christmas and the swin::
and the abandon of the shoppers
give the impression that Alexandria
women-they are mostly women
are all wives and daughters of mil
lionaircs. So should it be. Let one
feel as though he had the world in .
swing even if he had to match pen-
mics to determine which cut-ratc price
he will be drawn to-that for break
ables, wrapped in excelsior. or III
breakables, like q ton CT coal.
Everybody is in the grip of the
genial patron of the season and the
way money is changing hands should
delight the heart of the store-keeperG
and make it easy to display generosity
to clerks and other employees, who are
participating in rolling up the golden
flow. But that is their business, anu
the business of the public is 70 shop
early and often, to shop early i'll the
season, early in the day, and as often
as the name of some near and dear ore
comes to the mind as the appropriate
recipient of the thing that the name OF
the Individual conjures up.
There may be slavery in serrile az.
ulation of Santa Claus, but there is
enough of compensating freedom CT
sentiment and emotion, Of joy ano
happiness to make one willing to pay
tribute to the great taskmaster OF
Christmas in order to benefit by HI:
opulcnce So the buying goes on ans
the panorama Of the stores is one o!
the most pleasing of human pictures

deep tilling machines demonstra-
ting it's work on the Will Gaynor

The machine was run by a steam
engine and got down to a depth
of twelve or fourteen inches,
bringing up the new, unplowed
earth with disc plows, one disc
going down about as deep as the
ordinaryplow and the second disc
turning up the unplowed ground.
The machine is undoubtedly a

Lightning Does Damage.
The H. E. Alderman Residence Was
Struck by Lightning in Monday
Mornings Electric Storm.

The frequent thunder storms
in which lightning has played
havoc has been one of the fea.
lures of this seasons weather
conditions, and last Monday
morning at the commencement
OF one Of these storms, a little
after midnight, lightning struck
the chimney on the H K Acker-
man residence, on the corner of
Third street and Fourth avenue.
The thunder clap aWoke pretty
nearly everyone in the immediate
vicinity, even those who are wont
to sleep through ordinary thund-
er storms. Mr. Alderman says
that the thunderbOlt awOke him
in a rather sudden manner, and
he realized thatthe striking point
was not far away, as the stove
pipe in the kitchen had been
knocked out and scattered about
the room. On examination 1t
was found that the chimney was
knocked Off from the roof, the
bricks being scattered on all
sides, and some Of them nearly
across the street, but the chin
ney below the roof was not iniur
ed, tho the furnace was found to
be considerably damaged. No

except that the plaster in the
walls showed several cracks.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ackerman are very
thankful that no one in the house
was injured. AS the electric
lights in the house were destroy
ed it is thought the wires served
as a conductor and carried the
lightning to the ground.

so far has been unable to do so
H. E. kopiska, of Renville, MINI J,

the summer and fall of 1909. and
stated that his name was Edward
Riley, and that he had a mother

worked for him for four days.
said that he was a good worker
and his book showed that he had
been working all summer at
points in Missouri and Kansas.
The address found upon his per-
son, Mrs. Clara N~ewbanks, Jop

that of his sister, and that of
Miss Mary McDermot to be that
of a lady friend with whom he
had been corresponding. kirch-

another federal prisoner from

OF an attempt to make a release
Of prisoners from the Aberdeen
jail last week, and had nearly
succeeded in makiAg an opening
in the bars when discovered. The
music from a mouth organ played
by one of the prisoners was used
to deaden the sound of filing on
the bars. Files and keys were
found hidden in one of the cells
when a search was made.
