Fire in Wheat Field.
Fire in a wheat field on the farm of Hagadorn & Son, near Joel, Thursday evening, destroyed about four acres of the grain. It is not known whether the fire was started by a spark from a locomotive on the Northern Pacific or by lightening. The grain was insured with the Northwestern Mutual Fire association, of Seattle, of which W. E. Cahill is local agent.
Despondency.
Sufferers from indigestion are apt to become discouraged and feel that complete recovery is not to be hoped for. No one could make a greater mistake. Hundreds have been permanently cured by taking Chamberlain's Tablets and can now eat anything that they crave. These tablets strengthen the stomach and liver, and improve the appetite.  Enable it to perform its functions naturally. If you have not tried them, do so at once. Notice to Public School Patrons.
