AYERS CATHART1c PILLS are the best of
purgatives for family use. They are the
product of long, laborious, and successful
chemical investigation, and their extensive
use, by physicians in their practice, and by
all civilized nations, proves them the best
and most effectual purgative Pill that med
ical science can devise. Being purely veg
etablc no harm can arise from their use.
In intrinsic value and curative powers no
other Pills can be compared with. them,
and every person, knowing their virtues,
will employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and main.
tain in healthy action the whole machinery
of life. Mild, searching and effectual, they
are especially adapted to the needs of the
digestiv, apparatus, arrangements of which
they prevent and cure, if timely taken.
They are the best and safest physic to en-
ploy for children and weakened constitu-
tions, where mild but efectual cathartic
is required. 15y1alt4

HERMAN, MIMI, July 10, 81.
EDITOR MORRIS TRIBUNE:
DEAR SIR-Y GU gave place in your issue
of last week, to set of bogus resolutions,
purporting to be the sentiment of this COM
munity regarding the course pursued by
the Herman Herald. The affair is not of
sufficient importance to demand any ex
PLANTATION from me. only deeming it
necessary to assure you and your many
readers that the persons therein mentioned
were not all sympathizers in the movement,
and those who were, do not, by large
majority, constitute this community, and
their sentiments, be it said to the glory and
everlasting credit of Herman, are not the
sentiments of this community. would
adduce proof positive, of the above asser-
ton, did think you or your readers cared
one iota whether it was true or not. The
fact that my opponents sought aid from
another town and county, is gratifying
assurance that they are close drived, and
while do not look for their early dissolu
tons, do not eattempt to deny that. such
an occurrence would afford ME unalloyed
pleasure. Very truly,
VIC. WHITMAN,
Pub. Herman Herald.

From careful perusal of the state crop
reports as {, rnished the daily papers, we
are of the opinion that the yield of wheat
will average not much over half a crop.
The chinch bugs. rust. hail, cyclones and
unfavorable weather all conspire to reduce
the yield, and when it Is taken into con.
sideration that the crops are light, the acre
age less than formerly, it will be readily
seen that these causes. combined with the
destructive agencies above mentioned, will
tend to materially reduce the estimates
made. 1t is absurd to think that this year
Minnesota's yield will reach the excessive
estimate of forty-eight million bushels, the
fact is We will be very lucky to get even
half of that amount.

On last Friday cyclone of the most
terrific violence swept through a part of
the Minnesota valley, and a strip of coun-
try about forty miles long and two miles
wide was completely wrecked. AT New
Ulm the storm ragged with a savage vic.
lence unprecedented in the history
of the northwest, and fully one
half of that thriving village was laid in
ruins, the storm carrying death and de.
struc!ion, and sweeping everything before
it with force irresistible. In New Ulm
over three hundred buildings were demol-
ished, and upwards of fifty people killed
and wounded. The cyclone struck the
town at about O'Clock P. NJ. and in fifteen
minutes the work of destruction was begun
and ended, the wind lifting the largest
buildings, churches, hotels, elevators,
mills stores, school houses and residences
from off their foundation sending
them whirling and crashing to the ground,
dashing them against other structures and
causing death and devastation in all direc-
tons. Many people were killed by being
dashed against the ground by the violen,
wind, while others were caught in wrecked
buildings or buried beneath mass of fall
ing debris From New Ulm the deadly
tornado swept through Nicolett and Rem
vile counties, carrying death and destruc
ton on all sides, auc sweeping every thing
before it. Trees were uprooted, houses
barns, fences and machinery were wrecked
and the fragments scattered for miles
around, large numbers of cattle were killed
and the crops utterly ruined, the corn be
ing snapped of close to the ground. The
condition of the unfortunate, houseless ano
homeless people is such that active meas
ures are necessary for their immediate re
lief, prompt steps are being taken to re
lieve their most pressing needs, but such is
the nature of the distressing catastrophe
that it will t'e barely possible to do more
than prevent actual suffering. The loss a
New Ulm is variously estimated at from
three to five hundred thousand dollars.
