'HOUSE BURNS " AT RED LAKE _Residence of Catholic Sisters Destroyed By Fire Yes- SOLWAY VISITED BY FIERCE BLAZE Property Valued at building....... o Total,.. ... Solway was at an early hour; yesterday morning visited by the worst fire in its history and asa result property valued at| $28,000 was destroyed, over one- half of the entire village being consumed by the flames. The fire started in the F.O. i Sibley building, on the west side | of the main st.reet of the town, It was discovered by Allan Underwood, who together with a companion, was asleep in a room on the second floor, They were wakened by the smoke and when! they tried to make their escape found the only exit from the building from the second floor a mass of flames. They finally escaped, however, and turned in ap alarm to the fire department of the village. The town is equipped with a water tank located just in front| of the Sibley building, and a fire engine. The apparatus was brought upon the scene as guick-: ly as possible, but the engine| failed to work and whenit was finally repaired a section of the; wall of the burning building fell | outward into the street, burying! the engine and making it abso- lutely impossible to check the Hames, terday Morning. The residence of the Catholic sistersat the Red Lake Indian jagency was yesterday morning i destroyed by fire. The loss is complete.

The Sibley building isatwo story structure which has been vacant for some time past, except for Allan Under- wood and another man sleeping in aroom on the sacond floor. Mr. Underwood remained up rather late Saturday night in order to bid a friend good bye at the depot when the east bound night train left.

THE VALUE OF BEER. The Essentials of Quality and Healthfulness Fxperience has shown that tl e prime requisites of a really Good Beer are three in number— superiority of the materials, treatment in the brewing snd proper maturing or ageing be- fore marketing. Perhaps the tirst of importance is the nature and character of the materials used. The An- heuser-Busch Brewing Ass’n, whose product, BIDWELSER, has come to Le consid-red asa staudard fromp which Beer- Quality is to be judged, have found that materials of the very highest quality only can te used, if really Geod Beer is to result, They have found also, that of all materials permissible in brewing, only the best quality Barley- { Malt, the choicest grade of Hops, superior quality Yeast, with perhaps a small percentage of the best Rice can be depended upon to produce a Beer of the highest degree of quality, flayor tand palatability, This Association confirms what is geverally admitted among brewers that to produce a Beer of excellence, expensive modern methods of brewing must be fol- lowed and the most rigid sanitary observed at all stages. Cleanliness, Purity and careful Sterilization are con- sidered vitally essential by them in common with all good brewers. Anheuser Busch also contends {that the exquisite flavor and acj healthfulness of Budweiser is to be attributed, to a great extent, to their extreme care in maturing and ageing, Their storage capacity of over 600,000 barrels makes it unneces- sary for them to market thelr | product until properly aged, and in consequence it possesses to the greatest degree the quality, mellowness and flavor which has ! caused Budweiser to be termed by those who know, of Bottled Beers.” “The King been unsuceessful up to the pre- jsent time.

BOOTY IS RECOVERED Portion of Goods Stolen Fri- day Night Found Hidden in Steamboat. IDENTITY OF ROBBERS STILL UNKNOWN TO POLICE. Discovery of Gouds Made by Charles Schroeder, Engineer on Beat. A portion of the goods stolen Friday night from the O’Leary & Bowser store and the Berman Emporium were discovered yes- terday afternoon hidden in thej Columbia, a steamooat which was operated on Lake Bemidji during the summer and which depot. The discovery was made by Charles Schroeder, who acted as engineer on the boat during the season. He went down to look the boat over yesterday afternoon and in making an inspection of | the vessel found the booty hid- den in the bow of the boat, un-' derneath the deck,where the rob. ! bers had evidently secreted it, intending to return and take it away at some future time. Schroederimmediately notified i the police of the finding of thel goods and the latter took them from the hiding place. The goods | were identified by those from! whom they were stolen and were taken back to the stores. The Berman Emporium re-| covered all the goods taken from that establishment by the rob- bers, but only about half of what was taken {rom the O’Leary & Bowser store was returned. The goods returned to the latter es- tablishment consisted of one man’s cloth overcoat, one pair rubbers, three pairs mittens, one pair sox, one sweater, one pair trousers, two ladies’ fur coats, two suit cases, three tele- scope grips and one case silks, Two fur lined overcoats and a quantity of silk goods are still missing. As yet the pohee, although they bave made vigorous efforts, have been unable to gain a clue as to the identity of the robbers, They have no adequate descrip- tion by which to identify the men, and it seems that the rob- bers have made good their escap>. The secreting of the goods in the city, however, leads to the belief that the robbery was com- mitted by local men, and it is possible that future develop- ments will lead to their arrest.
