-Dale says he would rather trav-
el from Omaha to San Francisco
than from St. Paul to Ord as the

In business note 10 us from
Ebrn Pierce, now living at New
Tacoma, Wash. Ty., we learn that
his family are well-times generally
are good in the TerritOry-but few
idle men and good many immi-
grants coming in, a fair proportion
of them from Kansas and Nebraska.
Considerable wheat was de-
stroyed in the middle path of the
storm of the llth, but along the
edges il was not fatally damaged,
and will probably make about q
half crop. 1t is said that the corn
will recover from the beating that
il received, and that it now looks
well.

appearance of the clouds Sunday
evening the services at the tent were
dispensed with. We understand
that the meetings will be discontin-

week, when they will be resumed
again with the subject of the Mil
lennium.
