dinner is as follows: roast beef and
gravy, dressing, potatoes, lettuce, ma
caroni, coffee cake and cheese, bread
and tea. Vinegar, salt, pepper and
mustard are on the table at all times.
The Sunday supper is correspondingly
light, being composed of bread and
tea. Beet greens are frequently served
for dinner, baked or roasted meat al

While cultivating corn on hilly field

the field was being plowed early in the
season pieces were turned up in spots,
but no particular attention was paid to
the matter at that time However,
while cultivating the corn it was found
that the rains had washed the dirt from,
and left clearly exposed, quantities of

soft coal.
After picking up pail full Mr.. May
nard dug into the earth in different
places and found hard substance at
from two to two and half feet below

an acre of ground. He feels satisfied
that there is coal there, but how much
is matter of conjecture.
He proposes to use "a drill with view
of finding out more about it.

STORM CAUSES
FATAL INJURIES
Brother of Mrs. A. F.
Kruger Will Die at His
Home in Green Lake.

Mrs. A. F. Kruger and her mother,
Mrs. Kopplin, have returned from
Green Lake where they were called by
the illness of Mrs. Kruger's brother,
Fred Kopplin, and family. Two men,
bers of this family were seriously and
one fatally injured by the storm of last
week. Mr.. Kopplin, whose health has
been poor for several months, was
sleeping in cabin short distance from
the house and Mrs. Kopplin and an
eleven year old daughter were sleeping
in different rooms in the house when
the tornado came. They were closing
the windows in the upper rooms when
they were rendered unconscious by
being thrown to the floor. Mr.. Kop-
plin was crushed by timbers which fell
upon him, but which afterward blew
away, releasing him. Consciousness
was first regained by Mr.. Kopplin, who
found himself lying in the garden the
other two notsthree feet away. All
three were badly crushed, but it is
thought that Mrs. Kopplin and daugh-
ter will recover. Mr.. Kopplin is grow
ing steadily weaker and will live only a
short time. The house was shattered
to bits.
Much other serious damage was done
in Green Lake, but no house except
Mr.. Kopplin's was destroyed. The
home of Mrs. Kruger's mother, less
than a mile away, was not damaged.
