do any material damage.
Much injury is done by the use of

recommended alike for the most deli
cate patients as well as the most
robust.

We have received No. 2, of the Pope
County Press, edited by Hiel e. West.
formerly of the defunct Hancock
Olive Branch and Belgrade Star.
The Press is published at Willard.
Mr.. West has evidently mistaken his
calling. He had better get down from
the editorial tripod and hire himself
out to some farmer to pick up potatoes
and milk cows. AS newspaper
editor, Hiel is dead failure.
While in conversation with NJ.
Finnegan yesterday, he suggested
that it would be good idea for the
farmers of this county who have had
their crops damaged by hail storms
this season to report to the TRIBUNE
the amount for which they We're Ia
sured, what companies they were in
sured with, and also whether or not
they have been paid the amount fol
which they were insured. We thinF
tile suggestion a good one, and j
farmers who were insure will furnish
us with statement of the facts in the
case we shall be pleased to publish
them. It will he good thing for tht
farmers, as well as the insurance com
panies. -

taken. Judging from the crop 0
wheat in this and adjoining counties
we are sure that the wheat crop j
Iight-not more than half an average
crop throughout the state. And a
regards the wheat crop in the Dako
tas, reliable parties who have recent
ly travelled extensively in those state
inform us that the yield there thi,
season is exceedingly lighe. Their
are thousands of acres that will no
pay for harvesting; and then hal
storms have damaged crops seriously
why, the hall storm which visIte'
this county two weeks since damages
the grain crops more than $4,000
1T the lowest estimate. The plai
truth is. the wheat crop in Minnesot
aud the Dakotas Is light this season
