As well as can be learned. from cor
respondents and other sources, the |
heavy rainfall of Friday. 18th inst, |
has been much more disastrous in its |
effects than the one of last month. |
| These two disasters. coming one right |
after the other, render the burden |
doublv hard TO bear, and in many in |
stances. it Is feared that deprivation, if |
not absolute want. Will follow, while |
| the general Inconvenience Is great. 1t /
| Is hoped. however, that bOuntIful |
| harvest in the fall will be the silver !
| lining to the present dark outlook.

| tributions. Parties desiring to donate |
ice-cream. will be furnished the ice |

The federal court has set aside the |
sale of the Pilot Knob and other prop |
critics Of the Ore Il Steel Company |
which occurred in 81. Louis on May |
| It'll. for the reason that the advertise
ment hadn't given the 80 days notice
required in the deed of trust under
which the property was sold. The
| REGISTER stated IT the time the adver-
tisement OF sale appeared that it would
not be valid for the reason that the
| terms OF the deed of trust had not been
complied with, and the subsequent pro-
ceedings prove that we were right.
