(By Special Correspondent

Laporte, Minn., Sept. 3.-Dyna-
mite placed under the entrance OF
the First State bank of Laporte late
Tuesday night wrecked the bank and
broke nearly every window in this
village.
1t is not known who wrecked the
bank and no arrests have been made,
!, although Investigations have been
made.
4 No attempt was made to open the
vault of the bank and no money or
I. valuable papers were taken. 1t is
believed that the dynamite was set
off by someone who had grudge
against the bank.
The bank is located on a corner
:. and has corner entrance. The
dynamite was placed near the door
and when it was set off the explO-
easion wrecked the entire interior of
the bank.
The damage is estimated at over
$1,800.
Travelling men who were at the
hotel, upon hearing the explosion,
ran to the wrecked building but were
unable to find any trace of the per-
sons who committed the act. No
one was seen running from the place.
A young man and young lady re-
ported that they noticed someone
light a match at the bank corner
shortly before the explosion.
All strangers in towns were &C
counted for and the act could not be
attached to any of them. It is the
. belief Of authorities that tie 8dyna-
: mite was placed by someone living
~in Laporte or near the village.

President Mckinley and Roosevelt, and
later postmaster Upon the death, six
years ago, of her husband the late post
master. Mrs Barnes resumed her pro-
fessional career and up to this date has
made a remarkably notable success.
AT different times during the past few
years Mrs. Barnes students have ap-
peared on programs as soloists or read
ers in some of the most notable affairs
In both this city and out of town. Mrs.
Barnes is well known throughout the
country as a soprano soloist and reader,
making a speciality of reciting with must
cal accompaniment. She first studied
singing with Mrs Harriet H. Mills, Of

success. The Barnes students in elocu-
ton gain ease and grace OF bearing, ca
pacity for deep breathing, voices of
fiexfbility and power and poise for use
in social or business intercourse on or

Improvement in the word interpreting
power OF the intellect is one Of the first
signs Of progress noted in Mrs Barnes
pupils and she pays especial attention to
clear, distinct enunciation, so often lack
