The good citizens Of Belgrade were
rudely awakened about 10:45 Monday
evening by the fire alarm which brot
them to scene OF terrible blaze, when
the Zion Norwegian Lutheran church Of
this village was totally destroyed by
fire. The steeple was hit by lightning
after which closely followed the ex-
plosion of gasoline tank which was
in the entrance hall and directly under
the steeple Of the church and was used
for the lighting system of the church.
No doubt the tank ignited and assisted
materially in spreading the blaze. a
]. B. WINNER and Fred Nicholson
were the first to call the fire alarm but
altho the fire department reached there
hurriedly and in excellent order the
fire had proceeded SO far and SO rapidly
that there were no hopes to save the
building. The loss sustained with built:
Ing and contents is about 5000. There
was no insurance on the property. The
church was built about twenty years
ago. The members Of the church have
as yet not decided whether they will re-
build or not. They are temporarily
using the German Lutheran church for
their services.-Belgrade Tribune.

Post Telegrapher' is even better than

terminated The post telegrapher, left

troops gallop madly to the scene, their
coming being heralded by Indian scouts
with smoke signals on hilltops. The In
dians decoy the troops to the village by
use of dummies with head dresses,
while they make a detour and attack
the small garrison at the fort. The fol-
lowing scenes are one continual thrill

story, showing the bravery of girl who
rescues the post telegrapher from the
very jaws of death and carries him to
safety on her horse. Usual admission

No Blessings for the Selfish.

There is no real private ownership
in q flower. Its perfumes, escaping on
the wings Of the wind over the hedge
Of the rich mans lawn, float in through
the window of the poor mans howell; it's
bright colors ride on the swift sunbeams
out of the private grounds to greet the
wayfarer on the public highway, its
leafy mystery and tendrilled grace can
not be confined within fence or wall. 1t
is only when we long to inappropriate
the flower, to Gull it for our own selfish
and illegitimate use, that we are con-
scious of sense Of deprivation and pow
erty. So it is with all the chief bless
ings Of life. They are theirs who are
content to use them properly, and they
are denied only to those who would gar.
ner them for themselves alone and thus
deprive others Of chance to share
them.-Appleton Press. ~ "

Montevideo Lawyer in Trouble.

Under date of June 4th the St. Paul
Dispatch says that C. D. Bensel of
Montevideo, licensed to practice law in
Minnesota in 1875, has been cited to ap-
pear before the state supreme court on
June IL to face disbarment proceedings.
Chief Justice Start issued the order at
the request of the state board of exam
liners. Attorney Bensel is charged with
drawing complaints against three
prominent women at Montevideo, and in
cooperating slanderous statements in
the complaint. The papers filed against
him by Frank L. Cliff, president of the
board of examiners, declare that the
allegations were untrue and without
any warrant or foundation" The judge
of district court in which the complaints
were filed ordered the slanderous Ian
guage stricken from them. The cases
were dismissed. The complaints are
said to have been drawn up by Bensel,
following dispute among the Ladies Of
the Maccabees, in which his wife fig
ured.

Club Notes.
Dear Doctor:

lear DOCtOr:
Have large wart on front finger Of
left hand which almost covers the end
Of the finger and extends half way I'M
der the nail; cracks open leaving two
distinct parts 1t is very painful at
such times, pain running up into my
upper arm, and finger feverish. It keeps
growing larger. I have been told that
it is a warty cancer. p. I.
Go to a Psychologist and have him
determine whether or not the sore is
cancerous. If not, then use the follow
ing: First, carefully thin the surface
with fine glass paper, or very sharp
knife. Apply either 10 per cent solu-
llon of Chrysorobin, Ordinary gutta
percha solution) or in 10 per cent eth
err solution. Il Is best to apply at night
and cover SO as to prevent soiling the
bed clothing. Ordinarily. an application
once daily is sufficient but some cases
require morning and evening treatment.
If you find it to be cancerous, write
me again and I will advise a different
treatment.
Dear Doctor: What is good to take
liver spots off the face. What causes
them? What would you suggest to take
inwardly for liver trouble? L. o.
These spots are some times found in
cases of kidney trouble, as we'll as, of
the liver. Most frequently Of the lat
ter. Drink an abundance of pure wat
err, 2 to 4 quarts daily, and with your
principle meal eat dish of raw cab
bage (chopped) with the following dres-
sing: Pure olive oil, 2 tablespoonfuls,
cider, vinegar, l tablespoonful, salt and

SO as to get all the oil.
Dear Doctor: Can appendicitis be
cured without an operation? S. c.
Yes, in many cases, but, not in all.
Persons who have had an attack and
recovered, should guard with extreme
care, against constipation. People who
are never constipated, seldom if ever,
have appendicitis.
