At 8:30 o’clock the cannoh at Fort Snelling was fired and instantly the street cats stopped all over • the city and whistles were blown at all the mills and on all the boats and bedlam was fairly turned loose for five minutes. While this was being done the American flag was being raised on the armory campus and the artillery (band played “The Star Spangled Banner.” Every hat was taken off and men stood bareheaded as far as one could see. From that time on bands played in the parks and exercises took place, the children taking the main part in the services. At 9 o’clock in the evening beautiful fireworks were discharged from the armory campus. In the morning as the whistles were blowing all the fire engines of the city were . rushed about the streets, sounding the siren whistles. The engines are all on autos and the noise was something certain to be long remembered. As this noise was kept up, however, for only five minutes, and then restricted during the balance of the day.

RECORD BREAKING WHEAT THIS YEAR

Firman Thompson Raised Eighty Acres With Average Better Than t 33 Bushels at Parr. V The estimates for the average production of wheat per acre in Jasper county this year were made at 15 bushels some two weeks ago. Since then most of the wheat has 'been cut and is now being thrashed. The best we have heard of is that of Firman Thompson’s Union township ranch, near Parr. He had one field containing 61 acres that averaged 33 bushels to the acre. Another field of 20 acres averaged 35 bushels. This is probably about as large a yield of wheat as was ever produced in this coun : ty. Others hpve some fine wheat this year. We shall be pleased to hear from them. If wheat is worth a dollar a bushel this year, those who raised it Will make a lot of money.

Taggart Says He Has No Interest in Porter Races.

A special to the Indianapolis News from French Lick says: ‘What! Me the ‘angel’ for the Mineral Springs Jockey Club? Quit kiddin’ me.” This, in effect, is what Thomas Taggart said when asked if there was any truth in a report printed in the Chicago Record-Herald that Mr. Taggart had guaranteed the purses offered by the jockey club. “You know about the troubles of the jockey club and how the S3OO purses had been cut to $125?” Mr. Taggart was asked. “Don’t know a thing about it,” was the reply. “Please tell me again what the Chicago paper said.” When Mr. Taggart was again informed that he was credited with coming to'the rescue of the “sport of kings,” he said emphatically: “I have had nothing.whatever to do with racing at Porter, either directly or indirectly, and it is ridiculous to mention my name in this connection. You may say for me, in the plainest language possible, that the Porter race track rumor has not the slightest foundation. It is a pure fabrication. It is an untruth.” Friends of Mr. Taggart say he may occasionally have acted as an "angel’ in politics, but never for a bunch of Chicago gamblers.

Says That Some Person Put Nails Along the Road.

Harvey Messman was in town Friday and reported that some person had scattered nails in the road up his way and that automobile owners Were having a lot of tire trouble as a consequence. Many tires are ruined by nails, which often turn point upward When struck and are forced through the tire. There is no term mean enough to apply to a person who would deliberately do an act of this kind with a view to the destruction of property. He is on a par with perpoison horses or other stock to “get even” with some one. He is even worse, because the act is probably prompted by jealousy, a green monster that destroys one’s peace of mind and makes him an object of general hatred.
