Anna Doolttle and Harry Pollitt died
Sunday night near Decorah where he
was running the Trout Run Mill. About
a week previous to his death he sus'
tanned small scratch on his hand, to
which but little attention was paid as
it seemed so inconsequential. How.
ever, the scratch became infected and
blood poisoning ensued.
The remains were brought to Cresco
yesterday where they were met by the
Masonic fraternity, Mr.. Sears being q
member Of the Cresco Lodge. and es-
corted to the Congregational church
where the funeral services were held.

heaviest rain, both on the 18th and 10th

Of the south central and southeastern
counties, where the moisture was bad

showers were accompanied by high
winds and electrical storms, and in
some sections by hail. Much damage
was done to corn and grain. Corn was
blown down and uncut grain was bad
ly lodged. The storms were, however,
of local character, and the beneficial
effects of the rain will far exceed the
amount Of damage done by wind and
hail. Corn over the greater part of
the state'is still in good condition and
caring well, but more rain would be
beneficial. Harvesting is about COM

Elephants Teeth

The elephant has no cutting teeth,
like most animals, but only a series OF
molars These molars, or grinders, as
they wear away. gradually move for
ward in the jaw, and the remnant of
the tooth when the surface is COM
pletely destroyed is cast out in front
The So q molar can thus be replaced
as many as eight times. The tusks.
which are only enormously elongated
teeth, can be renewed only once This
wearing process and the election of
the stump OF the tooth go on very
slowly during the life OF the elephant.
only one or two teeth at a time are
in use, or In view. in each jaw. There
are always other teeth waiting TO pass
forward and begin their work, al
though there is limit to this success
sion, for, when the last has come into
use and been worn down, the elephant
can no longer chew his food and must
die of starvation, If he has not al
