he thought contained kerosene
and poured a lot of it into the stove
and struck a match, when puff, and a
sheet of blue flame shot from the
stove, ignited the oil in the can, set
fire to the rug and set everything
ablaze generally. Nick held onto the
can and ran outdoors with it, and
some of the bovs rushed in and put
out the fire. Nic had accidentally
grabbed a can loaded with gasoline.

The John Miller Co., Grain Com
mission, of Duluth, send the following
about flax-seed: "Prices of Ameri
can seed have been on an export basis
since August 1st and it is estimated
that upwards of 1,500,000 bushel has
been sold for export. Reliable re
ports indicate however, that this
country has raised about 4,000,000
bushels more than the domestic de
mand calls for. There was about
1,600,000 bushels carried over from
previous crops, making a surplus of
nearly 6,000,000 bushels. A decline
on the other side would be almost
sure to mean lower prices in this
country. We are looking for a large
movement this month."

Who's all right? Why James
Clement Ambrose is all right! His
lecture delivered in the Baptist church
last Tuesday evening on the subject:
••The Fool in Politics," vas a very
fine effort and the universal opinion
is that it was one of the finest lectures
ever delivered in Cooperstown. The
lecture was along the line of purity
in politics, a plea forwomm suffrage,
death to the saloon and an education
al qualification before the right of
suffrage is conferred. His lecture was
both instructive and witty, and his re
marks were frequently punctured with
applause. Mr. Ambrose's lecture was
certainly "a superb affair,—keen,
grand, tiue." He will get a big a,udi-1
ence if he ever comes to Cooperstown
agaiu.
Our candidate for states attorney,

had been throwing the windmill at the
lumber yard Into gear and was up on
the platform about fourteen feet from
the ground. He had thrown the mill
into gear and was crossing over to
come down when the wind blew his
coat into the gearing and he was im
mediately drawn into the machinery
and his clothes stripped off him by
the resistless power of the machinery,
he at the oame time receiving the in
juries as above statecl. He was
quickly Uken down by friends and
take home. HU .wounds will lay him
up for some time. It was a lucky ac
cident after all as he miraculously es
caped with his life. His many friends
will be pleased to learn that he is re
covering rapidly.
