Hew laundry for Clare.
Ohas. L. Church of Manton this
week purchased the Wermuth building on south MeEwan street formerly used as a resturant and will convert it into a laundry, weaving and
dye works. The plant is now being
installed,
Ifc is proverbial that from lack of
-.capital, equipment, suitable building
or- some such cause foryeare succeeding laundrymen have made dismal
failures in Olare. But Mr. Church
seems to have the stamina and
wherewithal to give us a laundry
which* "will turn out satisfactory
"work. There is certainly a field here
for a laundry and it only requires
good work and reliability to cut off
the outside laundry baskets and give
tbe work to the home industry. Mr,
Church asserts he will demonstrate
these two points to the public's satisfaction.
To Builders and Contractors,
The season is at harid when severe
damage to property in general from
destructive windstorms may reasonably be expected. Experience has
proved that while certain sections
may not as yet have,been visited by
tornadoes all localities have at some
time suffered from the effects of high
windstorms.
Buildings in course of construction,
owing to the fact that the *wind has
free access through them, are particularly susceptible to damage of this
nature, sand a contractor or builder
may see the labor of months (and the
profit incident to such work) swept
away in a moment.
A tornado policy in the Queen Insurance Oo. will furnish you (at a
trifling cost) with absolute protection.
"""further information will be gladly
given by our local representative.

Missionary's Work
y in the Philippines.
The work of a ^missionary consists
of many dutios and varies in different fields, but in the Philippines the
most important work of all, is visiting the different ,pueblos or cities
where there are churches, to examine
the work of the native preacher and
to encourage him and his flock.
In Manila the work is compacted
but the visiting of a missionary in
the provinces takes him on long
andhard trips. The missionary took
his first one to the northern points
of his territory recently, He started
out with two ponies, springwagon,
the interpreter and a "Boy" to look
after things and do the cooking.
We had not gone five miles when
we almost had a spill off one of the
small bamboo ferries which are necessary on the wide or deep rivers. We
are not blest with many bridges as
yet. We arrived atSUal 12 miles distant the first evening where we rested over night. It was a beautiful
spot. It is nestled at the foot of the
mountains on a perfect little bay.
In the distance across the Bay the
lonely missionary could see the roof
and tower of the Lingayen Catholic
church.
Very early the next morning we
started over the mountains for Aia-
minos. Our desire was to travel before the heat of the day. We ate
breakfast on the road. After about
four hours travel we covered the
fifteen miles. We encountered one
excuse of a bridge which we had to
repair as we went along, by taking
up planks behind and laying them
down in front! ■
At Alaminos we were told that
the roads to Bani, the next point
were too much for a pony. But there
was the means of walking left. The
interpreter was not well enough to
undertake it. So early the next
morning the missionary set out on
foot with two of the natives. It was
a five hours walk, about fifteen miles.
The road consisted of level stretches,
mud holes and rivers. Bancas are
the means, ofjjetting over the rivers.
They "are hollowed out of a single log,
a dug out, and they are exciting
things to ride in if they haven't anything to keep them from up setting.
Once the missionary stepped in in too
much of a hurry and he as quickly
stepped out on the other side into
water which wasn't more than four
feet deep t
We held three services in Bani inside of a day. The Missionary got
along as best he could in Spanish and
the workers did most of the preach-
in0**
The next morning early we started
on our journey back. The sun shone
hot, it was a long and tiresome trip.
On arriving in Alaminos we held
another service of much interest to
us all.
The next morning the missionary
took to his buck board again for the
return. Upon arriving at Alaminos he
followed the example of the disciples
of old, by going down to the sea and
taking ship to the other side of the
Bay to hold a service. It was a perfect day and a delightful four hours
sail. After returning we immediately proceeded to another barrio by
wagon to hold another service. All
of these services were largely attended and showed the deep interest of
the natives in the work. It was 1
o'clock in the evening before we
could break up this meeting. At
twilight in the morning we were off
for the town of Salacio ten miles distant and about four miles south of
Lingayen. Here we held a service
in the evening.
Very early the next morning we
started from a barrio about eight
miles distant for Howe, tired almost
to death, but greatly encouraged over
the evidences of the growth of the
work at all of the points.
While on their trip the interputer
and missionary also did writing and*
translating for the Advocate which
is published in the native dialect.
The missionary aims to make about
two of such trips a month, And
then people wonder why the missionaries, don'ti stay long in the Philips
pines! Its nothing to wonder at. It
would be fine if they could take the
care of themselves that/most of the
Americans are able to do. It would
be hard enough if this work were
done under the usual conditions of
road and weather to which they have
been accustomed, but this is not so.
The work is done in almost constant
perspiration and in a strange language. It becomes very wearing and
trying.
But there are no complaints, the
results are worth all tne toil.  If they
keep well and strong they cannot
wish a finer field or climate to work
in. The nights are cool, bringing
sleep and rest.
The   missionary's   life   is a very
strenous life, that is till.

$1200 FIRE IN LINCOLN.
Wm, Kube Loses Big Barn with
$700 Insurance Allowed in
Farmers' Mutual,
On returning home from the republican county convention Pebrnary
14th Wm. Kube found his fine 50 x 60
feet barn in flames. Bushing to the
door he threw it open in the hope of
saving, some things only to haye the
flames blow out into his face and
singeing his hair and beard quite badly. His wife on discovering the fire
had driven out the cattle. All the
rest of the contents including thirteen
tons of hay, grain and tools was
destroyed.
The origin of the fire is unknown
as chores were done before dark and
no light was carried to the barn.
Adjusters for the Parmers' Mutual
with director L. W. Sunday of Arthur
were at Mr. Kube's Monday and adjusted the loss perfectly satisfactory
to him at S700. He expects to rebuild this season.
A Clover huller, the property of
Arm Allen, was destroyed in basement of the barn, loss S450, no insurance.

The Shepherd Bepublican is announced as retiring from politics,
Formerly republican in political affiliation it is alleged now to be content
to behold its "esteemed contemporary," the Shepherd Advocate, at the
republican pie table. At least it is
now an "independent" paper, but it
seems that the name "Bepublican"
is good enough to stick toany how.
The improvement of three homes
in the East Vernon locality is char-
