ELGIN , Neb , . Sept. 3. A deal was
closed yesterday In Fremont whereby
the Glgtn Elevator company becomes
the owner of the elevator In this place.
of the Nyo-Schneldor-Fowlor com
pany , the consideration for the trans
fer of the property being $9GG3. Jas.
Aldcrson , president of the Elgin El
evator company , and linns Sllch and
Barney Setting , two of the stockhold
ers , returned on the late train last
night from Fremont , whore they went
to close up the deal.
This transfer means much to the
business Interests of Elgin and the
farming community In the vicinity.
The Elgin Elevator company Is a
strong organization. It Is composed
of 260 of the farmers In this neighbor
hood and will have at Its command an
almost unlimited amount of capital to
carry on the business. The capital
stock of the company Is fixed at J10.-
000 , but already $ iS,000 In cash have
boon paid In , whllo It Is stated that
every ono of the 260 farmers could
easily contribute $1,000 without se
riously affecting him If necessity re
quired ,
When the company was formed
some tlmo ago It was planned to
build an elevator and site along the
railroad had been secured for that
purpose , but when the opportunity
presented Itself to purchase the Nye-
Schneider-Fowler plant It was con
sidered good business to do so. This
does not Increase the number of grain
dealers In town but gives the farm
ers an opportunity to enter the Hold
of shippers. It Is confidently expect
ed that Elgin will now bo the best
grain market In North Nebraska.

the grounds ready for the event. The

Manager Roberts promises that by the
time It ls _ put In condition it will be
one of the best grounds in the state.
Arrangements have been closed with
four teams to piny the three days. The
present plan Is that Stanton and
Humphrey will play the first day , the
27th ; Tllden and Plalnvlew on the
2Sth ; and the two winners on the
29th. Smith of Tllden has been In

"You may rest assured , " said Mana

have fast ball at the tournament.
Every one of the four teams that has
arranged to come here Is a strong

they will strengthen themselves all
that Is possible before that time. I
predict that when those four teams
line up In Norfolk they will comprise
the swiftest players that ever crossed

be a 'base ball feast , ' we believed we

SARI.Y DISCOVERY SAVES IIUII.D-
INC ; FROM DESTRUCTION.
.STARTED IN AN UPPER IIAI.I.WAY
Origin of the Fire n MyNtery Some
Credence Olven to the. Story That
It vuis of an Incendiary Nature
Prompt Action Prcvcntx
A blaze In the upper hall of the
Grant scjiool house on the west side
was discovered just In time by Mes
senger McNeely of the Western
Union and a number of boy friends
who were near the building to pre
vent Its destruction.
Flames wore seen leaping toward
the celling last evening about 9
o'clock through a window on the
south side of the building and the
boys promptly gave the alarm. The
lire department responded promptly
but the building had been broken
Into and the ( lames extinguished be
fore they arrived on the scene.
The tire was started In a bunch of
paper and rags under some lumber
that had been left by the carpenters
In the upper hall. The carpenters
had just finished the work of putting
on a steel celling and had piled the
lumber In the hall to bo removed at
a later date. J. M. Covert had been
painting the celling and a number
of paint cans , brushes and some oil
wn.8 In the near vicinity of the blaze.
The tloor had been newly oiled also ,
and had the blaze been discovered
but a few minutes later the building
would probably have been burned.
The lumber was quite badly charred
and the ( lames would soon have eaten
a hole through the floor.
The cause of the starting Is not
known. Janitor McCaslIn says that
there has been no fire In the building
for some time , and he does not think
that anyone has smoked In the build
ing recently , and the only apparent
solution to the origin of the lire Is
spontaneous combustion of paper and
rags covered with oil or that It was
of incendiary origin. The latter
theory is given considerable cre
dence , but there Is nothing to war
rant the belief , because there would
be no cause > for spite work that
would warrant this manner of re
venge on the school district.

Sorry for the Don * .
Generally , people who saw the bal
loon ascension at lluttle Crock wore
not pletined because they felt so sorry
for the two dogs that were to be sent
up. The dogs may have liked tholr
ride xkyward but from nil appearanc
es they wore pretty badly scared and
dreaded the ordeal. It was considered
all right If a man Is foolish enough
to go Mailing around In the air and
risk his neck that's his business and
no one cares If ho goes tip with a doz
en balloons but when It comes to
fending up two , poor helpless dogs , It
scorned a little cowardly and tlmo for
the humane society to take a hand.
Wheat *
You should cat bread raited
with Yeast Foam. It has a
vvhcaty flavor and delicious
aroma all its own , and retains
sweetness , freshness and
moisture longer than bread
made with any other yeast.
Yeast Foam partially pre-
digcsts the bread and pre
serves in it all the nutri
tive qualities of the
wheat.
Is made of pure vege
table ingredients. With
proper care it never loses
its life and strength. It's
always fresh and ready for
use. Bread made with it is
never acid , sour or heavy ;
it's always good as long as
it lasts.
The secret is in the yeast.
For sale by nil grocers at
50 a package. Each pack
age contains 7 cakes
enough for 40 loaves.
