The wind storm last evening did con.
siderable damage to buildings in various
parts of the county The school-house
near the residence of Geo. w. Sweat was
unroofed. The large barn of c. E. Hayes
about 5 miles east of town was blown
down killing horses and head of cat
tie. Henry Hid living several miles
northeast of town is just building a
new barn. The frame was up and partly
inclosed when the wind came along and
moved it about 20 feet, but so well was it
put together that it stands where the wind
left it in as good condition as if it had been
built there, rejecting great credit on the
workmen, Cuthbertson & Mowry. One
of John Hild's chimneys was blown down.
Some of the trimmings" in the shape of
iron railing, &C., were forcibly removed
from L. B. Nelson's fine residence in town
The barn belonging to Mr.. Bailey in the
same neighborhood was moved about a
foot. Ben Hayes barn was destroyed.
Martin kiefer's barn was damaged some

EDITOR CHRONICLE
Dear Shallow patron and we'll
wisher of your excellent paper to ''free
his mind" through its columns with re-
gard to the recent outrage perpetrated in
our city. In the first issue of the Inde-
pendent appears an article on the subject
of Prohibition, in which the writer pro-
ceeds at length to show the evil effects of
the Crusade" the breaking of social and
friendly relations, &C., &c, because of the
difference of opinion, and advises the lady
Crusaders to turn their attention to the mat
ter of female dress, opium-eating, &C., and
as the legitimate offspring of that article
our citizens were treated to the very argu
mentative ''opinion" of the anti-crusaders
on last Monday morning, by having the
post-office front bedaubed from one end
to the other, which, not only taking cow
ardly and dastardly advantage of lone
woman, was disgrace and burning shame
upon the fair name of our city. Is it pos
sible that it has come to this? that we
have persons among us who claim to be
men, who would thus sneakingly, at the
dead hour of night, violate the law and
insult not only one of our best citizens,
but woman who has no protecting arm
of husband or brother to resent the outrage,
simply because of difference of opinions
The man who would be guilty of thus treat
ing q woman is below the mark of
human being, and ranks only with the
lowest class of brutes, and shows him
self to be too cowardly to face even a
woman. It is well for him that he can
stand by, with closed mouth, and hear
the imprecations brought down upon his
worthless carcass, for should he let him
self be known as the perpetrator of this
most abominable outrage, | think, with q
new suit more becoming such celebrity,
he would seek location better adapted
to his peculiar tastes. wonder if the In
dependent meant the breaking of social
and friendship" with this speci-
men of degenerated humanity? would
Just add in conclusion that such outrages
are denounced by all, whether Crusader
or anti, and will be more injurious to
saloon men than to this lady.

go: s. c. Griggs q Co.
B. F. Taylor, the Printer-Poet, is one Of
the best known and most eloquent writer's
d the country. He was for many years
one Of the Editors of the Chicago Jour-
nal, and during the war was one Of the
best correspondents in the field.
We remember well what thrilling dis
criptions he wrote, and what wonderful
flow of language he had. After the war
he wrote for various papers and also
went on the platform as lecturer. He
at once took rank as one of the leading
lecturers of the country, and had calls fas-
ter than he could supply them. His prin
cipal lecture was on ''Thc English Lam
guage: Its Uses, Beauty, and Abuses"
This book is the fruit of his later and
more mature years, and sparkles with wit
and humor. It is Characteristic of its
author and we think will meet with a
wide sale. geographically speaking, it
is . handsome volume. It is printed on
fine tinted paper, contains number Of
illustrations and is neatly and Hastily
bound, and reflects great credit upon its
printers and publishers. It will be sent
postpaid to any address on receipt Of
the price.

WHOLESALE eRoi yswIsDLERs.
Marshall County p Taken In and


As was predicted in last weeks CHRoN-
1cLE, great deal Of dissatisfaction is
being manifested by all those who have
bought goods of those Chicago grocery
men. They have not as yet done great
deal of business in our county, or at least
we have not heard Of but few instances,
but they are all around us, and if we can
by thorough exposuk of their game,
prevent our community from being "gul-
led" by these swindleR, We shall most
certainly do so. The following, which
we take from the Marshall Republican,
Of last week, will show how they ope
rated in that county:
1t appears that about month ago two
men. representing the firm of Roe Bros,
wholesale grocers of Chicago, appeared
in this vicinity and went through the
county taking orders for staple groceries,
which they pretended to sell and agreed
to deliver to farmers at wholesale prices,
with five per cent added to each bill for
freight. They carried samples, and by
the use of glib tongues and apparently
plausible representations, succeeded in
securing quite large number of orders
in the country, aggregating the sum of
ST ,73O. Wherever they sold bill of
goods blank order was filed and hand
ed to. the purchaser, giving the names
of articles, amount, and prices agreed
upon and an agreement to deliver the
goods on the 26th OF June, the articles to
be paid for on delivery. Accordingly
parties representing this house came to
the city, and on Friday last occupied a
room near Duguid's, on Main street. All
day long farmers came in, presented their
orders, received their goods, and in some
cases went away satisfied, and in many
more instances dissatisfied-and this was
where the imposition Wss developed: in
the sale of the cheapest class of goods at
prices above our local retail rates.
To give an idea of the prices paid these
peddlers for some of their goods and the
corresponding prices paid here, we quote
the following from the same paper:
Japan teas were sold in caddies for So
25, that were never sold for more than g.
here Loose or common starch was sold
for 13t cents per pound, that has always
ratailed here for 10 cents. Raisins were
sold for g. 10 per box that can be bought
here from $3.50 to 1915 per box
Ground cotfees for 81 cents that can be
bought here for 25 cents. Java coffee 36t
cents per pound, that the same grade can
be bought here for 30 cents in fact, there
was not single article sold except sugar
but could have been bought for less mon
ey here.
The Republican gives many more Incl
dents of this kind, but the above is suffi-
cient You should remember that our
dealers can and do sell as good articles
and at as low rates as travelling men.
Stick to your 'home institutions" and
save money.
