Chas. Jennings whom we mention
ed several weeks ago as having his
feet badly crushed by being run over
by an engine in the yard, and who
was taken to his home in Michigan
City, Ind, is rapidly recovering. He
was attended after the injury by Dr.
Mcdonald.
The wheat and oat crop will turn
out far better than our farmers an
ticipated six weeks ago. Although
the straw is short the heads are we'll
filled and Of good length. 1t is a
noticeable fact that where they plow-
ed deep the crops are much better,
which is conclusive evidence that
deep plowing is the proper way for
raising crops, and most all our far
mers will follow this rule for their
next years crop.
Mr.. Robert Lee an enterprising
gentleman of means lately arrived at
Gladstone from the east and is ma
king preparations for erecting large
steam Touring mill at that place,
which will prove of great benefit TO
the town and also afford the farmers
of Stark county market for their
wheat. A large steam boiler and en-.
gine have arrived for the mill. Such
men as Mr.. Lee are the kind of tim.
ber the new West Missouri towns
want.

On Tuesday noon the special train
containing about eighty distinguished
guests arrived here. 1t was under
the personal supervision of Rufus
Hatch, who is SO we'll known all over
| the northwest as an enthusiastic
worker for, and believer in it's future
greatness. The train stopped here
about one hour which gave the party
time to look around and see how a
new town springs UP in this country.
Many of them expressed great sur
prise at its growth when told that
Dickinson was but a yearling. A
number Of foreign nations were
represented, besides sew eral of the
leading daily papers. The party were
so much interested in a number OF
Indians, who had been here for few
days awaiting transportation to the
Grow agency, that Uncle Rufus took
them on board his train us far as
Little Missouri. The excursionists
will spend about ten days in the park,
visiting all points of interest, when
they will return.
The storm which swept over this
part of the country last Saturday
evening was the severest ever known
here. The wind blew very hard for
about one hour, going in all easterly
direction. 1t was accompanied by
heavy rain, and hail in some sections,
although no hail fell here. Numer-
Gus claim shacks were blown down.
The storm at Belfield blew down
several buildings which were partly
completed and one man was injured
but not fatally. The Baptist church
here was moved from it's foundation,
also the Catholic church, which is
partly completed. The buildings of
f. A. Hines, NJ. McGenly and the old
Anderson hotel were slightly dam
aged. The storm made sad havoc
with the numerous out buildings.
This is about the amount of damage
done here, which is not very great.
From Gladstone. Taylor, Richardton
and other towns along the line comes
about the same report. 1t was but a
mild and gentle zephyr when COM
pared with the tornadoes and cy-
clones of Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Iowa. That Dakota is outside of the
cyclone belt we have no doubt. For
while some parts of the states above
mentioned are almost weekly swept
by cyclone, the storm Of Saturday
evening came as near one as we have
had, and probably might be called a
