which were valued al $4,000. there
were probably twenty-five carriages

total loss as being 10000 and has

While quite portion OF the edifce
of the Bethany Baptist church is still
standing, the estimated damage is
about $4,000 TO both the building and
its fixtures There was an insurance
of $1,000 on the organ which is a total
loss. The building. furnishings and
heating apparatus were insured for
$1,000. This was one OF the hand

These two fires one following the
other in such rapid succession have
meant a serious loss in many ways
and have been the worst confagra-

ENLARGED AND IMPROVED
The Bryant & StrattOn School, Boston

In it's new building, the school is
removed from all surrounding lnf1uen-
ces which might distract the min1s Of
the pupils from their studies. The
extension of Arlington Street during
the past year has bounded the build
ing by three streets, Boylston, Airing
ton and Providence, and made every
foot Of fl NC space desirable for school
purpos IS. AS one inSpeCts the vari-
Gus rooms he is impressed with the
abundance of light and purity of the
air--two qualities so essential to the
health and best progress of fine stu
dent.
Its patronage comes to it unsolicit-
ed because the merit of its work makes
it unnecessary to adopt the practice
common with many schools of send
ing solicitors from house to house
seeking patronage.
Plans for the practice of business in
which the individual teaching system
is employed originated with this
school, Each pupil has a special
course of study planned out for him
and carefully adjusted to his personal
requirements.
Another feature which makes this
school unique is the adherence to the
calendar governing the regular acad-
emic institutions. The sessions are
from to 2 daily with no attendance
on Saturdays or evenings, or during
the summer season.

Mandan, n. D., Dec. 12.-Chattel
mortgages are being satisfied in Nor
ten county at an unprecedented rate
and il is generally attributed to the
diversified farming and especially to
dairying. During the past ten
months 1000 chattel mortgages were
satisfied and large per centage of
these during the last two or three
months. An investigation showed
that many of them were due to dairy
ing.
One man who paid off a $3.50 mort
gage, said: 81 had heard a great
