THIS section was visited by quite
a heavy hail-storm last Thursday
night at about 10 o'clock. The
storm came from the southeast, and
began with heavy wind, thunder
and lightning. After it had rained
for a few moments large hail-stones
began to fall, which would have
wrought general disaster had the
wind continued to blow as it did
earlier in the evening. Some hail
stones were picked up that measured
about six inches in circumference.
Many glass were broken in the city
and surrounding country. Nearly
all the glass in the southeastern sides
Of houses, east of this place, were
broken. T. N. Bryan, the Eslick's
and others suffered considerable
from the storm in point Of broken
glass. As many in the city suffered
similarly, we shall not try to name
any, but simply say that bad as it is
Jul people are all glad that it is no
worse. The scare, however, was
general, and few remained in bed
while those large h~ail-stones came
pattering on the roof o. through the
windows. Wen take ours ii i
straight rain without any wind.

SOMEWHAT sANDY.


Some evenings agoa few of out
people were in a room investigating
the authenticity of the Bible, wher
a retired politician was prevailed
upon to deliver part Of lecture he
had prepared on the subject Of
Christianity. 1t, Of course, was the
general opinion that he knew nc
more about the subject than a Hin.
doc does about monographs, but he
willingly consented to "let loose
He was very ilowery, and in his
efforts to prove a First Cause, by
knocking lngersull, Tyndall, Paine
and old Darwin out Of water, he
made use of.the following sentence,
which caused four of the audience
to fall from their chairs and several
to turn gray:
Everything in the universe is 80 nicely bal
anced that If Il reckless angel should hurl
a grain Of sand from its wings II would rock
this universe 10 atoms"
The idea was new. People did
not know that angels carried sand
ontheir wings. He did not explain
they do SO, but it is awful to
contemplate. A general prayer
went up for that angel to hold on to
that grain of sand. But the ques-
ton naturally arose: How shall we
suppress Dakota sand billiards? A
grain or two might bust things, and
Dakota would never be forgiven.
He should get the present board of
copnty commissioners to adopt res
olutions against loose sand. Get
them to do it in the dark SO that it
will correspond with their usual
course of business.
If that sand story be true, what
terrible chances this world is runn-
ing all the timel That angel is also
believed to be a bad one or the au-
thor of that startling news would
have no acquaintance. Then he
didn't say whether hat angel only
went out flying when the weather
was clear and calm. That's whit
worries the boys. Such a startling
revelation is a terrible thing Just now
when a "boom" has hit Elk Point,
because people are afraid to fix up.
They keep watching for that grain
of sand. One fellow swears he saw
it hit a wood-shed yesterday, but he
must be mistaken, or our eloquent
citizen would new be bargaining for
a shady place. Neither has any
rocking been experienced. But
we are inclined to believe that sand
story the result of trials and tribu-
lations on the part Of the inventor.
Such hallucinations will come to
men in years of mental dotage.

THERE is no need for anybody in
Elk Point being idle. We hear on
all corners inquiries for laborers, and
the supply is not equal to the de-
mand. People want fences and
sidewalks built and repaired; Pat
Carey vents men on the road, and
the boom seems to be general. All
a laborer has to do is to show a will
lingness to work, and he will be busy
all the time.

Sidewalk Notice.

To the Citizens Of EM Point:
In accordance with a resolution
adopted at a meeting Of the City
Council of Elk Point, I would here
by notify the citizens Of said city
that a report of the committee APP
pointed to investigate the condition
of the sidewalks in this city shows
the same to be in deplorable and
unsafe condition. Each owner of o
lot ebutting which is a sidwalk in a
condition rendering it unsafe for
travel, is personally liable for DANA
ges which might be sustained by
reason thereof. The present condi-
ton Of most of our sidewalks is dis
graceful, and i'll many instances they
are to be viewed in the light Of nui-
sances. A recent decision of the SUI
preme court of the State of Iowa
rules that a sidewalk can be order
ed by a city when deemed necessa-
ny, and if built by order of the city
council the expense ofbuilding such
walk may be collected against the
property adjoining which said walk
is built, in the same manner rs 9TH
er taxes are collected. The present
council does not wish to cypress any
one, but deems it actually necessary
that our sidewalks should be at once
rebuilt for public good. The coun-
ell therefore notifies all parties whose
walks are in a bad condition that
they must proceed at once to repair
and rebuild the same, otherwise the
work will be let by contract and the
expense Of rebuilding collected from
property adjoining said walks. If
the citizens repair and rebuild their
walks Voluntarily they will be: al
lowed to s such material as can
best be afforded to make them dur
able and safe, but if rebuilt by con-
tract such material will be used as or
dinances prescribe. Each citizen
viii therefore consult his own inter-
est and govern himself accordingly.

about noon the wind changed to the
northwest and blew almost d gale.
And il is feared that young Carter
had gone to his skiff to take q ride
and while out the wind struck him
and drifted his skiff downth the river,
and in order to make the landing he
was compelled to come along near
shore, and that the banks fell on to
him and his skiff and crushed them
to the bottom of the river. The
banks are cutting badly for so rods
or more below the landing. Fred
was a boy highly respected by all
who knew him. He was e good
scholar for his opportunities, and
had prepared to 60 to school this
summer, and to commence the next
day. His parents are much dis
trcssed over his sudden disappear
ance, and if he has been lost, the
blow will be heavy, all the more SO
because he was the only child at
home for them to lean upon in their
advanced age. Yet there are hopes
that he may be found.
The rains of last Saturday and
Sunday did an immense amount of
good, but there was not half enough
Of it. Although what we have had
will help out our large wheat crop of
this vicinity.

AN ELK Point merchant caught q
terrible cold one day last week, and
having read in some unreliable tract
! that kerosene taken internally would
make it red-hot for a cold, he drank
nearly a pint, and then sat down to
await results. On one or two occa-
sions he came pretty nea turning
inside out, and declares that the kerr
osone tried several times to make an
artesan well of his throat, but he
applied the forces of g~ravitation SO
strongly that the oil well remained
in his stomach, and as near as he
could ascertain the cold remained in
his head. He was AFRAID to go. too
near the stove for fear his breath
would catch on fire, and his good
wife stood watch over her kerosened
husband, and went SO far as to COM
pei him to drink ice water for dim
ner. During the afternoon, after
terrible suffering from cold and the
upward tendency of the oil regions
in his stomach, he made up his
mind to warm himself if he did ex-
plode, and the force of habit led him
to light a clay pipe; so with the pipe
in his mouth he backed Zip to the
stove. His wife, on entering the
room, observed the smoke coming
out of his mouth, and, catching up
q pail Of water, dashed it into his
face. This SO surprised him that he
fell over a stove, and the ashes from
his pipe went into his nose and
down the back Of his neck. She
then dumped several scoops full Of
salt into his face, while the poor fel.
low was wedged between the stove
and the wood-box, and as his left
side began to get pretty warm he
actually believed that he vas on fire
on the inside, and yelled for his wife
run the nozzle Of a Bahcock fire ex-
~tinguisher down his throat, or he
would explode. In her excitement
she grabbed a clothes-Wringer and
began turning the handle, and BY
this time the ashes down his back
began to operate. He yelled at his
wife to leave the house and save hen
own life, az he was going to explode
