Facts Worth Knowing.

In all diseases of the nasal mucous mem
brane the remedy used must be non-irrita-
ing. The medical profession has been slow
to learn this. Nothing satisfactory can be
accomplished with douches, snuffs, powders,
syrlnges, astringents or any similar appli-
cations, because they are all irritating, do
not reach the affected surfaces and should
be abandoned as worse than failures. "A
multitude OF persons who had for years
borne all the worry and pain that catarrh
can inflict testify to radical and permanent
cures wrought by Ely's Cream Balm.

of homes; but In nearly all there are one or

The Mississippi Higher Than it Has Been
For Fourteen Years.
ST. PAUL, June 15.-Further advices from
southern Minnesota and Dakota, indicate
that the losses by the severe storm of We'd
nesday and yesterday will be heavy. At
Forman, Dakota, the storm approached the
magnitude of q tornado, traversing the

eral buildings were blown down and one or
two destroyed by lightning.
At Rutland, eight miles south of Forman
thu new opera house was entirely demolished
Dyste Bros. store was blown down, Ross

the Journal Office was carried away. A dwell
ing house was also upset and numerous
barns and other buildings we're badly dam
mayed. No loss of life is yet reported.
At Fergus Falls the wind was terrific. A
building belonging to s. II. Cole was de-
moiished and the Grant hotel seriously dam
aged. There was an enormous fall of rain.
At Rushford, Minnesota, it has been rain
ing thirty hours. The Root river has risen
four feet and is going up four inches an
hour.
At Atkin. Minnesota, the Mississippi is
raging. The water has completely SUBJ
merged the residence portion of Hunger
ford's addition, and many families have
been compelled to vacate their homes. The
back water in Mud river has caused hum
dreds of families along its banks to leave.
The water is higher than it has been for
fourteen years and farmers are out in RATS
after their cattle. All the wires are down
at st. Vincent, Minnebosa, Medicine Hat,
Quapelle and other points in the line of the

SuPKRIoR, WIS, June 14.-Several million
feet of logs broke loose from the booms
above Cloquet yesterday, and came tearing
down the stream to the island, on which
several people live, doing great damage.
The buildings carried away are as follows:
The Freeman house, Everett house, Tyn-
dalJ's saloon and boarding house. Wallace's
-four and feed store, McCullough's store,
BlackstOne's and Smiths saloons. The
court house and Jail, and the dwellings of

forty others were completely surrounded by
water to the extent of seven or eight feet,
and most Of them have been abandoned
The st Paul d Duluth railroad at Fon
du Lac il under two feet of water, and the
depots and other buildings have been aban-
doned and are likely to be carried away at
any time. The yards Of the @. N. Nelson
lumber company, at CloQuet, are under ten
feet OF water and temporary booms have
been constructed to keep the lumber from
floating Oh. Communication between the
land and the Island il maintained by boats.
Grave fear is felt for the safety Of the
St Paul d Duluth bridge across the Du-
nth bay, and large force Of men II sta
toned there to prevent jam from forming.
The loss to the lumbermen at Cloquet win

HARMLESS LOCUSTS,

They Are Not Ipjuring Fruit or Grain. but
Young Trees.
CHICAGO, H., June 13.-Dispatches from
several points in Illinois and Iowa say the
locusts which are making their appearance
in such great numbers are not molesting
fruit grain or vegetables as yet. The only
damage done is the killing of young and
lander trees, many of which die from the
incisions by the insects in depositing their
eggs.
Tho secretary of the Iowa Agricultural
society says he has received information
from Muscaiine that millions of locusts are
in that country, but no especial damage has
yet been reported. 1t seems to be the gen.
eral opinion here that the locust in eastern
Iowa are not of the seventeen year variety,
but Of the harmless class that come around
frequently, seven years ago being the time
Of the last visitation.
