CYCLONES.

The st. James Journal OF laSC week
gives an account of IN infant cyclone
in Watonwan county. which, destroyed
considerable property. The Journal
says:
The storm sweeping through Odin
and Buttplfeld last week covered more
territory and did more damage than
was reported in our last issue. It was
II veritable cylone, the funnel-sl,aped
cloud reaching from skv to earth. and,
as described by All eyewitness, had Il
movement similar to that Of u spin
ming top partially run down, the spin
die end circling on the ground. Ev.
e,ything was wrecked in the path of
the storm, which was about one.half
mile wide.
We confess to being little non
plussed at these cyclones forming in
Minnesota so early in the year. But i:
is evident that the last few years have
been "a little off" in the matter of cy-
clones, earth quakes, etc. They are
getting out of their old latitudes,
stampeding or overflowing, or some
thing of the kind, for last year a cy-
clone destroyed town in Ohio and
storms of similar nature made havoc
in parts of Philadelphia and Balti
more. This summer we expect to hear
of them away up in New England, and
until the ''cyclone era" is over no Sec
tion can count on entire safety.
BY the way, we notice in the &C.
counts Of the Sank Rapids and St.
Cloud cyclone that the good old cellar
played the usual part as the safe place.
Those who had time to get to their
cellars escaped unhurt. The lesson is,
prepare your cellars and get into them
if you can when you see storm com.
ing. If any OF your neighbors laugh,
we'll, let them laugh. They laugh best
WHO laugh last. Tell them about Noah
and his ark, and how ull the fellows
who laughed at him got left. The
prudent man is apt to escape unhurt,
while, as Solomon says, the fool passes
on to destruction.
FOR CONGRESS-.
Both the New Ulm Review and the
Lake Benton News announce this
week in double loaded editorials the
candidacy of John Lind for congress.
The latter paper believes he can go ill.,
to the convention supported by Lyon,
Lincoln. Lac Qui Parle, Yellow Medi
cine, Murray, Cottonwood, Sibley,
Watonwan and Brown counties with
but little effort. We wish Mr.. Lind s
friends the greatest success in his cam
paign. From personal acquaintance
with him for many years we know him
to lie we'll worthy Of the honor and Gu
pable Of representing the district with
credit to himself and his constituents
in case he is elected. If republican
is to be elected rs doubtless will he
the case, there is no one whom we
shall he better pleased to see elected
than Mr.. Lind.-Sleepy Eye Herald.
1t seems to us that there has never
been time when more care should be-
observed III selecting a candidate for
congress. The ill-health Of lion. J.
B. Wakefield is deeply regretted 10y his
host Of friends in the district, many of
whom were anxious to see him on duty
in the coming canvass. Any one of
the gentlemen named 80 far would un-
d"nbtedly do their duty to the best of
their ability, and their qualitica, ions
no one will dispute, hut with So many
candidates in the field their must be
some who are better fitted than others,
and it should be the aim Of our dis,
trict to put in nomination a man who
has had experience in legislation. II
Hon. &. ii. smith is a candidate we
see no good reason why our part Of the
district cannot unite and present his
name with solid vote-Fulda Re.
publican.
| 1t is with feeling of keen satisfac-
tion that the Register is authorized to
announce that Hon. N. d. l.. Coles
ter, Of this city, has consented to be.
come candidate for congress. We
have had the pleasure o: personal
acquaintance with Mr.. Collester for
| some time and we know that Il brain.
ier man has not yet been mentioned
for the position. without wishing to
speak disparingly Of any others who
are seeking the nomination. we do say
that no man could represent us with
more credit and honor than Mr.. Col.

CREAMERY ITEMS
The Heron Lake creamery is now il
operation under the management O.
J. D. Wilson, the proprietor. We wisl
to say right here that J. y. Wilson il
no new man in the business or in thi
locality. He has conducted the cream
cry business at Jackson heretofore, il
4 highly honorable manner. to the en-
tire satisfaction of all with whom h
has had to deal.-Heron Lake Wave.
Sinclair's creamery starts up thi
week, although it will probably not b.
under full headway for several days t,
come. We understand that Mr.. Sin
clair will pay 13c per inch for cream
Fairmont Sentinel.
The Window creamery is gathering
cream within few miles of this point
one of the drivers making his head
quarters at G.. B. Walkers. This is hi
second trip. On his return from hi
first trip, being out from Windou
three days, lie is reported to have ha
but sixteen inches of cream. He e1
poets all he can haul, however, as soo1
as the grass starts. The creamery j
reported to have 900 cows promised
and expect the number increased
they will take Standardization Con
mercial.
It is expected that Geo. w. Wilso
will take charge OF the creamery her
this season. Mr.. Wilson, at present i
Missouri, was the pioneer in the bus
ness at this place, and was fairly SUI
cessful, hence he is not a stranger t
our farmers or the business.-Esthe
