In some places apparently the tile was stopped up for the land lay quite a little above the ditches. In other places, however, the land was low and as the ditches were running full to the banks it will be some days before the water gets off the fields. Oats are generally looking good and wherever there is any wheat it is looking fine, too. Not a great amount of com has been put out and this is very fortunate becau ?e the excessive wet weather and the cool air is not favorable for germination. Bankok Straw Hats $5.

San Pierre Man Writes Letter About Virginia. 6eorge R. Faylor, of San Pierre, has-written—a_iong letter describings a trip to Virginia, where he went in quest of land, and asks that it be published in The Republican. While interestin in part, the letter s so long, covering 35 pages, that we find it impractical to publish it. There is also some indication that it contains a boost for land agents in that section of Virginia and in that event it should, come under the advertising classification. Mr. Faylor i 3 somewhat of a singer, according to his own statement, which says that he sang all the way from Cincinnati to Lynchburg, and he names all the songs he sang, both religious and rag time. He did not exhaust his voice, however, for he was able to get up from his bed at Richmond, after reclining for only about ten minutes, in order to go over to the depot and sing for “the boys” over there. Mr. Faylor says, what is probably true, that there is much good land in Virginia that is selling for little or no more than the cost of the building improvements. Land is quoted at sls, $25, and S4O per acre. He described a farm operated by a man from Nebraska that contains 200 acres of alfalfa now being cut, also 150 acres of ted clover and 50 acres of wheat that looked like it would be good for 50 bushels per acre. He was also using two planters putting in his com crop, expecting to put out 300 acres. He had 250 head of white faced cattle, 300 head of sheep on blue grass pasture and 400 head of hogs on clover. The man. told him that alfalfa grows just as well as blue grass on that soil. Mr. Faylor writes a fine hand and his letter would take a page or more of print and we believe the points here covered are the principal ones contained in his letter.

20 Are Killed in Collision Of Akron, Ohio, Building. At least - twenty persons are believed to have been killed and many others injured in the collapse, early Monday evening, of the old BeaconJournal building, occupied by the Serris Bros, restaurant, in Akron, Ohio. The victims were seated at tables in the restaurant, when, without warning, the building gave way. and they were buried beneath the falling walls. The collapse of the building was due to blasting for an excavation in an adjoining lot. The exact number of dead has not been ascertained but a force of volunteer workmen are digging in the ruins and dragging out the killed and wounded. There were about thirtyfive persons in the restaurant when the crash came. There was no chance for escape, Mrs. M. Myer went to Chicago to-1 day for a short visit.

Frightful Experience In Crossing Burk’s Bridge. Allie Francis and his niece, Miss Nora Vest, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Vest, from north of town, had a rather close call Monday afternoon at Burk’s bridge. They had been in town and were returning home. The water was flowing over the bridge and the grade but they started across and were on the grade when thd horse they were driving got down, almost upsetting the buggy. Both climbed out and waded to the opposite bank, Allie managing to get the mare up and, lead her across. The experience was not at all a pleasant one and they were fortunate that it did not result seriously. B. D. Comer Better and Indications Are Favorable. Indications are today somewhat more favorable for the recovery of B. D. Comer, whose severe illness followed a slight injury to one finger from a scratch received from a barbed wire fence. The hiccoughs which had weakened him so much began to lessen in frequency and severity Monday evening and today have practically subsided. It is now thought probable that he will recover unless unforseen complications set in.
