HIGH SCHOOL
GETS VALUABLE PRESENT.

Herman Held has presented to the
High School library, full set of Schlos-
ser's Encyclopedia of World History,
consisting of nineteen volumes. The
set of books, which is in the Ger
man language, is a very desirable
addition to the school library, and the
authorities of that institution are very
grateful to Mr.. Held for this costly and
valuable gift. E >
The books are of great benefit to the
students and patrons of the library, as
they contain much valuable information
from historical standpoint.
With the amount raised by the stu
dents of the German classes in their
play, the school library will be greatly
improved at this time. <~

TURNER SOCIETIES HOLD 49,.
JOINT SOCIAL MEETING

The social gathering of Sunday after
noon at Turner Hall proved very.
pleasant affair indeed. The members
of the Turnverein, of the Ladies' So
ciety, of the Zoeglingsverein and the
Edelweis Club were well represented
in the gathering. It was regular
family affair. The audience ranged
from gray haired men and women to
the little tots who had come there with
their parents and who made herculean
efforts to be quiet while the program
was being rendered and they did very
well at that. .-.
Prof. Helm presided at the meeting.
The program was short but good and
consisted of musical numbers, recita-
tions, readings and short talks. The
first number on the program was the
singing of the song, "Freut euch des
Lebens" by all present, The other song
numbers were song by the trio, Mrs.
w. &. Alvin, Mrs. L.. G. Bell and Mrs.
Herman Helm, and a solo by Miss
Thelma Rinke who had to respond to
an encore, as also did Miss Henrietta
Hauenstein who rendered piano solo
at the close of the program with delicate
touch and the wonderful technique which
has made her piano playing so popu-
lar. Mrs. Schapekahm recited two
poems, one serious and one on the comical
order which were both we'll received and
Mrs. L. G. Bell gave a reading which
was well done and appealed to every
one present. Armin Koehler gave
short talk on Vitality and Activity
which was very good. ts
Prof. Helm opened the discussion on
Preparedness" which was on the pro-
gram in the form of debate. Capt.
Albert Steinhauser and DR.. L. A. Fritsche
were called upon to take part in the
debate.
Supper was served at the hall and
after that came dance which kept
young and old together for several
hours longer. The affair was such a
success that it is now being planned
to have another meeting like it next
month. Before the program began the
Turnverein had their semimonthly meet
ing and transacted considerable impor-
tant business.
The treasurer's report was read show
ing that the Society's finances are steadily
improving.

WHEN FIRE RAVAGED CHICAGO
A Rerniniscence of Nearly Half
Century Ago.

It was 46 years ago, namely, on Oc-
tober 8, 1871, that one of the greatest
fires of modern times started in the
rapidly growing city Of Chicago. Chicago
was then practically a wooden city,
even to the sidewalks, and when, as tradi-
ton has it, Mrs. O'Leary's COW
kicked over a lantern in stable
in the lumber section of the town, it
was not long before conf1agration was
raging beyond the power of the city's
fire department to control.
The fire was not checked until an
area of 1-3 miles had been burned,
over 17,450 buildings were destroyed,
with property loss of $196, 6,000,000;
100000 people were left homeless and
250 lost their lives.
All this terrible situation in Chicago
is vividly brought to mind by group
OF pictures now exhibited in the window
of Crone Bros. store. The State Bond
& Mortgage Company, local agency
of the Glen Falls Insurance Co., has
placed these pictures on exhibition
there. The insurance company intends
to issue a series of these great fire scenes,
which are as authentic as it can obtain.
Many of the scenes were drawn at the
time by representatives of such illustrated
papers as Harper's Weekly.

something that is we'll calculated to

who goes to show to see something

sonally conducted tours among wealthy
society people is the core of the narrative;
the ancient days when Robin Hood
robbed the rich to benefit the poor are
recalled. Every time Chattfeld Bruce
attended reception or dinner party a
valuable piece Of jewelry was very apt
to depart when he did Converting
the treasure into money, Bruce would
distribute it among the poor, or found
sick wards or hospital beds where the
needy might be cared for. How far
Bruce went, what happened during his
operations and how beautiful girl

ing made an excellent printed narrative
and vastly better photoplay.

Improving the Streets and Cutters.

The new city administration is to
be complimented upon the exception
ally fine work in the way of street
Cleaning and Improvement which IS
now going on throughout the city un-
der the direction of Commissioner
John Fl. Schaff. The grass along the
bitches is shaved and the bitches
cleaned and the grass and excava-
tions are thrown to the middle of the
street, thus accomplishing the dou-
BILE purpose of raising and smooth
ing their surface while at the same
time greatly improving the drainage
system. This work, besides improv-
ing the appearance of the city, will
contribute much to it's sanitation,
SINCE it will dispose of all stagnant
water and tall weeds which at times
accumulate in some of the bitches.
It is the policy of the new commits
sioners to go as far as the limited
funds which they have at their COM
mand will permit, in cleaning and i'm
proving the streets and bitches and
maintaining them in clean condition.
This is unquestionably very meri-
torious work and one in which the
commissioners should be given every
encouragement possible.

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN !!
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up corn or callus SO it lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because few
drops of freezone applied directly on
tender, aching corn or callus, stops sore
ness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted out, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of frcezone cost very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or sofs
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as it is inexpensive and is said not TO
irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his Wholesale drug house. 1t 10
fine stuff and acts like charm every
