-NlGHT BLOOMING CERUs WEEK.
Wednesday evening night b|ooming
cerus bud opened its fragrant blossom,
and was enjoyed by many OF
the friends Of Mr.. and Mrs. F. King
at their residence. After the evening ser.
vice at the Congregational church, many
OF the congregation went over to the house
and for the first time took look upon
the short lived beauty Of this native plant
OF South America, whose blossom opens
and fades in a night. The blossom is
said to reach the height of it's beauty at
midnight, and then to slowly fade, until
by daylight. it hangs with cred bud
upon dropping, withered stem.
Also Friday evening we had the pleas
ure of attending an informal reception
given in honor Of the birthnight of three
night. blooming 'cerus blossoms, at the
residence Of E. B. Crane. 1t was indeed
a beautiful sight, three Of those large liv-
in G snowy blossoms, trembling in their
fragrant beauty like twinkliDg stars in
the armament. The plant was small, and
had the night before thrown out three
other equally as beautiful blossoms. Mr..
and Mrs. Crane kindly Informed as many
of their friends as possible, and with open
door, extended a cordial greeting to all
who wished to look and admire for them
selves, and until nearly midnight, friends
were coming and gong, and all feeling
that few minutes visit with those lovely
blossoms of but night amply paid for
all the trouble.

A List Of &C asualties.'

This portion of Minnesota experienced
the effects of Il young tornado last Satul-
Gay night. The gale was strong, accom-
panied by rain and hail.
We have no serious damage to note
within the city limits. Several trees were
blown down and branches innumerable
strewn In every direction.
The driving park, just outside the city
limits on the west, suffered severely.
The high board fence on both the north
and south sides Of the park, was broken
down and carried several rods away
The amphitheatrc is ruined. The wind
has laid it low. This building was erect
ed a, a cost Of $50 and is quite a loss to
the association. Total domage not far
from $1,000.
Mr.. S. N. Frisbie's barn in the town of
Moscow, at Oakland station, suffered
much damage. The barn was a large
one, being 36x50 in size, and built extra
strong. One of the doors On the north
side happening to he open, the wind
swept in with such power that the entire
west end Of the barn was blown out. In
addition 10 this, large parts of both sides
Of the roof were carried away. The dam
age is probably 5000, the barn costing
81 400 eight years ago. Mr.. Frisbie al so
reports five large bur oak trees in his
yard broken square off by the gale.
Thos. II. Purcell, on the farm next east
Of Frisbies, lost the roof to his granary
and two additions, one on each side OF
the granary, being used for machinery

The sermon was an able one.

Religion" emphasizing the Importance
of Christians being always revived and
earnest IN the Masters work, and not
depending too much on seasons of revi-
val.
The Communion Sermon was preached
by Rev. A. H. Tebbets, of Dodge Center
We have seldom listened to more
able and stirring address than that Of
Secretary Powell, of Chicago, on Wednes.
day evening. His theme was the "Situa-
ton and needs Of the South" Every
one who heard it must have felt the need
OF greater earncstness in pushing forward
the work Of education in that section of
the country.

years past the Superintendent of Home
Missions in this state, also gave stirring
address on Wednesday evening. He has
