BURSTING OF A CLOUD.
Resulting In Loss Of Life and Properly al
Rapid City.

DEADwooD, July IL.
This evenings Times contains an
account Of a cloud which burst at Rapid
City about forty miles from Deadwood.
It says the water-spot struck Rapid
valley on Tuesday evening and played
havoc with life and property. The
river at Rapid City raised fifteen feet
in an hour and a half deluging farms
and gardens, carrying away bridges,
damaging freight in transit to the Hills
and drowning a man by the name OF
Billings. The flood came up SO rapidly
that a camp of freighters on the bot
tom across the river from Rapid City,
was swept away, and one of the freight
ers was drowned. At last accounts his
body was not recovered. A large bull
train belonging to Pratt s. Ferris, Of
Sidney, was caught in the flood, and II
is thought much of the freight has
been destroyed.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
A valuable Barn Of Laramie City DESTROYED
Together with Ten Tons q Nay.

On "Wednesday evening about Q
O'Clock. during q violent rain storm
lightning struck the large livery barn
Of J. W. Collins, at Laramie City. In
less than ten seconds the entire build
ing appeared to be one sheet Of fame
around the structure and over the roof.
Ten tons Of hay which were in the loft
seemed to have all been set on fire at
once. By great exertion on the part Of
citizens, and by the help Of the flood Of
rain descending at the time, the Ere
was confined to the one building. Loss
by the occurrence is about $4,000; in
sured $500. Fortunately the horses
and carriages in the building were
saved.
For the above news we are indebted
TO DIR. Hayford, Of the Sentinel.

THE PROFESSION OF JOURNALISM.

De Witt Talmage says: Through
the editorial rooms all the folies and
shams Of the world are seen day after
day, and temptation is to believe in
neither God, man OF woman. 1t is no
surprise to me that in this profession
there are some skeptical men; I only
wonder that Journalists believe in any
thing" Z 3tlfft ~
Every newspaper writer knows that
one Of the greatest trials of the profess
sion is that its members are compelled
to see more of the shams Of the world
than any other profession. Through
every newspaper Office, day after day,
go all the weaknesses of the community
In which the paper is published, all the
vanities that want to be pulled, all the
revenges that want to be aired, all the
mistakes that want to be corrected, all
the misdemeanors that want to be K
cused, all the that want to
be ~apologized for. Newspaper men
come In daily contact with all the men
who want to be set right, who never
were right; with the politicians who
have axes to grind, with ofice-seekers
and ofice-holders who want to be "sup-
ported" In their efforts to get or hold
on to Office; with crack-brained philos-
ophers with stories as long as their
hair; with all the bores who come to

For some medicinal alcoholic resuscitapt

place ofthe heady and frequently adulterated

Gently introduced, but which has since
become the most popular medicine sold ON
this continent, viz: Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters Their establishment and admiration
were increased when experience farther dis
closed that this botanic remedy effected re
suits which h mineral drugs OF the phar-
macopoeia often utterly failed to produce
among others, the permanent restoration Of
vigor. the removal OF digestive. secre,ive and

Speedy recognition of the merits OF the Bit
