The ground is covered with snow to
the depth of three feet, as ascertained
by measurement in the timber where
it is not drifted. This is a pretty good
body of snow for the middle of March.
On Tuesday morning the Aber-
crombie stage started out as usual,
but found it impossible to get along,
the road being INSTRUCTED with noun
famous snow, the wind blowing and
the snow flying. After going few
rods and tipping over few times the
driver and messenger concluded it was
no use trying to pillow their way
through and returned. On Wednesday
morningthey took new start, and as
they did not return, we presume they
got through.
The stages between this station and
St. Cloud were delayed one day by the
storm, but succeeded in getting
through on Wednesday. There has
been no mail through from St. Paul
since Monday.

Seranzo, a Venetian noble. She died
a short time after her marriage. a vic
tim to the harsh and jealous treatment
Of her husband
Her body was laid out in state in
one of the churches, and her lover
actually succeeded in stealing the
corpse and conveying it to a ruined
crypt in one of the islands. and here
he sat day and night by his lost love,
singing and playing to her, as though
by the force of his art he could recall
her to life.
Leonora had a twin sister. Eliade,
who was SO like her that her closest

One day Eliade heard a singer in a
gondola singing so exquisitely that she
traced the gondola to the deserted is

Eliade substituted herself for her sis

The Fire

The following is correct statement
of the losses sustained at the great
fire on the 9Th inst:
T. C. McClure-Loss on goods, $1,000;
Covered by $4,000 insurance
P. Frank-Loss on goods $1,000; Cow
cred by $578.
Lamb & Myrick-Loss on goods and
damage to building 5000; Cow
vered by insurance.
A. Moore-Loss on goods $500; Gov
cred by $1,000 insurance. Loss
on building $4,000; No insur-
ance.
S. Pendergast-Loss on goods $500;
Covered by insurance. Loss on
buildings $3.50; No insurance.
MISUNDERSTANDING and Stock $3.50;
No insurance.
S. Frank-Loss on building $1,000;
No insurance.
A. DeGroat-Loss on building $500;
No insurance.
The loss on the hardware store was
$4,000. The establishment was
being transferred from the firm
of Bennett, Carver & Co, to the
firm of Moore & Robbins, and
transfer was completed with
the exception Of the insurance
policy, which according to the
terms Of sale and the agree
ment of the firm of Bennett Car
yer & Co., were to have been
transferred at the insurance
office to Moore & Robbins. This
part of the contract the former
failed to fulfill, so that it is a
question who will have to bear
the loss of $1,000
The Masonic Fraternity, whose lodge
room was in the second story
of Moore's building, lost one of
the large jewels and portion
of the furniture, amounting to
about 5000.
The total loss amounts to $12,950 and
the insurance on the same
amounts to So, 1913, leaving the
loss sustained by the property
owners at $10,672.

to Redwing for her aged mother. She
found her mother sick, and after wait
ing several weeks for her recovery, it
being necessary for her to return to
look after her homestead, she started
alone, with her househould goods on

blocked up the roads and streets SO

The Board of County Commission

county officers $518 for furnishing the
statistics required for Pennock Pus-

$500. No wonder the people of Mower
