IMPORTANT BUSINESS DEAL
Frank S. Lord Sells Coal Business
to G. W. Grindal.

Frank S. Lord Sells Coal Business
to c. W. Grindal.
Frank s. Lord has sold his coal business
in Ellsworth to c. w. Grindal, who will
take possession May 1. This transfer OF
an old-esta blished business is one of the
most important business changes in Els
worth for long time.
The purchase includes the coal sheds
good will.
Mr.. Lord has been in the coal business
for twenty-nine years, having bought out
the business of A. c. Holt. twenty-five
years ago he bought the coal sheds and
wharf of Bacon & Field. For nearly all
the time he has been in business he has
been without competition, and the people
of Ellsworth have found him always ac-
commodating and square in his business
dealings. Mr.. Lord has not yet decided
upon his future business, but for the
present will devote his time to closing up
accounts in his coal business.
Mr.. Grindal, who will take possession of
the business May =, is one OF Ellsworth's
pushing young merchants. He purchased
the grocery business OF his father, &. III.
Grindal, few years ago, and has enlarged
it in various lines. This latest addition
to his business is but another evidence of
his progressiveness and capacity as busi
ness man.

save her life, but the flames had done
O'Clock Sunday morning.
Clara was beloved by her playmates,
and her sunny ways made her favorite
among older people as we'll. Her death is
particularly sad, as her mother has been
critically i'll several weeks. She leaves be-
sides her parents, two brothers, one sister
and grandmother, who are prostrated
with grief.
A quiet service was held Monday at the
home, conducted by Rev. H. w. Conley.
The casket was covered with beautiful
flowers, fitting emblems of her pure young
life. The sympathy of the entire COM
mnnity goes out to the grief stricken
family.

She, with several other children, had
started a fire in the dry grass near her
home. In endeavoring to extinguish the
blaze, her dress caught fire, and before
assistance arrived, her clothing was
burned entirely from her. Her entire
body, except the lower part of her legs,
was horribly burned. She was taken to

CHINA TEA.

Some interesting statistics have
been gathered with reference to the
great decline in China's tea trade.
From 1878, when tea was first in
troduced into England, until 1887
China held exclusively the tea trade
of the world. Then India began to
enter the tea market. The Chinese
tea trade reached high tide in 1886
with a total export of 300,000,000
pounds. In 1884 China furnished
about 70 per cent. Of the worlds to-
tai, India and Ceylon 10 per cent,
and Japan and Formosa 10 per cent.
But at last accounts, when the total
consumption had increased to 644,-
100000 pounds, China contributed
only 80 per cent, India and Ceylon
so per cent, Japan and Formosa 10
per cent.
The decline in China tea is as
cribed to careless methods Of culti-

SINGER HAD UNcANNY POWER
Had corson-Ilke Ability to Stay Those
Upon Whom His Gaze
Fell.

Among the Hindus and especially
hose belonging to the Yogi school
If thought, many phenomena, unac-
,ountable by western standards Of
knowledge, are accepted as matter Of
course. A writer in the Hindoo
Spiritual Magazine says that the inn
possible becomes possible to one who
has practiced steady gaze, and in
stances a strange story Of an opera
singer, named Massol, who was a
popular favorite in the Paris of Ma
poleon III. Although Massol was
a man of small intellect, he had a
wonderful voice and an eye which
slew. During his rendering of the
curse aria in the opera of "King
Charles w." if his eye fell acciden-
tally upon anyone in the audience or
on the stage, that person died. After
he had killed a scene shifter, the
leader of the orchestra and an unfor-
tunate merchant from Marseilles,
the opera was excluded from the
repertoire. The writer of the article
says the science and practice of "the
gaze" is known among the Hindus
as ''Trataka Yoga," and that the
killing of small birds by its means
is not unusual power of its devo-
tees.

OYSTER FISHING IN MEXICO
Immense Quantities Of shells Are An.
nually Ussd In Making she'll
Lime.

Operations connected with the oy-
ster fishing in Mexico are very sim
pie, as in many of the lagoons the
water is so shallow that the fisher
men simply step down into the wa
ter, which will reach not much above
the middle Of the thigh, and with
their hands pull off large masses Of
the shells. The principal use made
OF these oysters is to convert their
shells into lime. No limestone is
found along the Tabasco and Vera
Cruz coast, and to bring it from fur
their up the rivers is slow and ex-
pensive operation. The oyster beds,
centuries old, have taken the place
OF the limestone quarries; immense
quantities Of oysters and shells are
annually consumed in making shell
lime. The process is extremely
simple, but wantonly wasteful. No
distinction is made between old
shells and live oysters, nor would it
be possible to do SO. The entire catch
is taken on shore, where a pile of
wood is stacked up, and upon this
the shells and oysters are heaped and
a fire lighted. A few of the oysters
are eaten as soon as brought in, but
the percentage is insignificant.

DRAWBACK IN FRIENDSHIP.

"Friends are an expensive luxury
and when one risks ones capital on
calling and mission here in life
one cannot afford to keep them. The
costly thing about keeping friends
does not lie, to be sure, in what one
does for them, but in what, out Of
consideration for them, one refrains
from doing. In that way many spir-
itual shoots are dwarfed in one. /

REDWOOD BEATS
OHIO ON CORN
So Says DR.. A. Garner, Buck.
eye, Who Visited Here
Last Week

Redwood county is some shucks as
a corn raiser, according to DR.. A.
Garner who visited at the home of
his brother, James Garner last week.
DR.. Garner lives at Lynchburg,
Ohio, right in the heart of the great
corn belt. He said that there was
no corn in that state equal to the
crop that has been raised here this
season. He owns land in both states
and can see no reason why Redwood
county land should not be sold at as
high figure as is asked for the Ohio
soil.
The doctor was member of the
Ohio legislature in 1909 and IL but
he says he has taken little part in
politics this year. However hefeels
that there has been decided reaction
in his state in favor of President
Taft. 1t wouldn't surprise him to
see Taft beat out the other two can
didates.
DR.. Garner returned home Satur-
day. He was accompanied by his
grand daughter, Miss Marion De-
Laney.
