1T BLEW HARD.
And the Rain Descended and the Floods
Came in Great Shape.-There was a
Big InstaImeuf of Hail, Too.

And the Rain Descended and the Floods
Came in Great Shape.-There was a
Big InstaIment of Hail, Too.
One of the most severe storms ever
known in this town occurred on Fri
day afternoon last. 1t fairly made
the oldest inhabitant shake with
astonishment. The tempest set in
at $50, with an angry sky that full
filled all the expectations aroused at
the first sight of it. The wind blew
a perfect gale, the rain fell in torrents
for quite a long time, and hailstones
a good deal smaller than hens eggs,
but large and numerous enough to
whiten the ground and riddle
cucumber and squash vines, ac-
companied the wind and rain. The
thunder was loud and the lightning
very vivid. Streets were badly
washed, Eastern avenue feeling the
full force of the torrent. Trees in
various parts of the village were
blown down, and the streets were
thickly strewn with twigs and green
leaves with which the elements had
tOyed. Fortunately the damage
done hereabouts was light. The
signal pole at the station sue
cumbed to the breeze, and in falling
it took the whistle off a locomo-
tive standing within its reach. The
CALIFORNIAN office was flooded to a
slight extent by the bursting of an
eavespout that runs down through
Bank block. Crops in this vicinity
were rather roughly handle, by the
gale, but we hear of no serious
damage in that direction.
1t was lively affair, and will be
remembered for some time to come
as conspicuous feature of this sea-
sons thunder storm programme.

LOCAL POLITICS.

Major N. P. Bowman has resigned
as candidate for judge of probate on
the democratic county ticket and the
democrats have nominated William
E. Peck by certificate.
The democratic state committee
have engaged ex-Congressman John
E. Russell of Leicester, Mass, to
speak in Music Hall next Monday
evening upon tariff reform. Mr.
Russell is one of the leading demo-
Gratis of the Old Bay state and is
a strong and eloquent advocate of
tariff reform. Both the railroads
offer reduced rates to the rally and
the trains east and west on the Lake
road will be held until after the
meeting, which begins at Z O'Clock.
The board of civil authority meet
next Saturday from 1 to 6 and from
to 9 p. m. to revise the check list.
The whole number of legal voters in
this town is about 500.
The straight-out democrats have
nominated n. P. Bowman by certih-
cate for town representa the
petition to that end being signed by
large number of voters.
Much of the street talk indicates a

SEEING THE SEARCH LIGHT.

Something over 200 people climbed
to the summit of Observatory
Knob on Tuesday night to get
glimpse at the search light on
Mt. Washington, forty miles away,
arrangements to that end hav-
ing been duly made by Chas. S.
Hastings. If anybody expected that
a food of light would be thrown
from the famous summer resort up
on the group assembled on the Knob
he was destined to be disappointed
for no such food came The great
search light was visible, however,
and for small portion of the time
it shone out very brightly-so much
so that it's reflection Oh the clouds
was also to be seen. Rocket signals
were sent up by Mr.. Hastings at 8
O'Clock, and about that time the
first glimmer was seen on Mt. Wash
ington. Whether the rays of the
search light were not directly
towards the Knob, whether m1stS
around Mt. Washington prevented
the lights being seen in its full
power, or whether both mist and
indirect rays were responsible, we
cannot say; but it is certain that the
light did not show up-as well as it
was expected to. 1t was interesting,
of course, to note even so much of
the light at so great a distance, but
evidently the conditions were not
favorable for the best display of Mt.
Washington's latest attraction.
The public are certainly indebted
to Mr.. Hastings for his trouble and
expense to secure for our people a
look at the great light.

DEATH OF TWO RAILROAD MEN.

Superintendent Edward F. Mann
road, who had been i'll at Concord
for some time past, died on Friday
morning, aged At years. Mr.. Mann
began his career in the freight house
of the Old Colony at Plymouth, and
served in various capacities till 1884,
when he was appointed assistant
superintendent of both the White
Mountain and Vermont divisions of
the B. c. & M. road; in 1889, when
the road was consolidated with the
Concord and Montreal, Mr.. Mann
was made superintendent. Too
close attention to business ruined
his health. He had served in the
New Hampshire legislature. He
leaves wife and one daughter.
Emmons Raymond, one of the best
known railroad men in this section,
died at Cambridge, Mass, last
Thursday morning, at the age of Sc
years. The early part of his life he
was engaged in the mercantile bust
ness in Boston, but from 1850 he
had been prominently identified with
New England railroads. When the
Concord railroad was organized he
became one of it's directors, and con-
tinued as such for number of years.
In 1850 he was chosen director in
the Connecticut and Passumpsic
Rivers road, continuing so until his
death, being president of that com
pany from 1870 until 1887. Hewas
one of the forty original subscribers
TO the stock of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fa railroad, which com
pany he helped to organize. He was
also in the board of directors from
February, 1869, to May, 1873
He also organized and built the

A NEW CORPORATION.

Another of St. Johnsbury's new
industries has been incorporated and
hopes to increase its business, as it
certainly deserves. The manufac-
turers of the Carpenter lathe have
formed a stock company of $4,000
paid up capital and incorporated
under the name of the Carpenter
Lathe and Tool Company. The
officers of the company are Samuel
D. Smith of Boston. president and
treasurer; John H. Carpenter, vice
president; Edward P. Carpenter,
clerk The directors are the officers
and w. c. Carpenter, the inventor of
the machine. The president is at the
head of the Smith-American Piano
Company, and the other directors
are residents of this town. The Car
penter lathe is bound to be success
full invention and we hope the COM
pany will be obliged to increase their
plant. The company remain in St.
Johnsbury, and their machines will
be manufactured in Paddock Village.

confusion of ideas upon the subject
of nominations for town representa-

one by a caucus or convention, the
other by a certificate of a certain
number of voters, to be filed in the
town clerks office. One method is
as legal as the other and candidate
nominated in either way is entitled
to have his name printed on the
official ballot. Two of the candi-
dates, w. P Stafford and N P. Bow
man, were nominated by certificate
The situation locally is decidedly
mixed, and our prediction last week
that we are going to have an inter
esting contest is already proven.
There will be one of the largest votes
ever polled in this town, and, who
ever is elected, our citizens are
assured of being we'll represented at
Montpelier this fall.

The Prize Essay.

"The mouth" says the Arkansaw
Traveller, sis the front door to your face.
1t is the aperature to the cold
storage room Of your anatomy. Some
mouths are the picture Of peaches and
cream and others look like hole chop
ped in brick wall to admit door or
window. The mouth is the hot bed of
tooth ache, the bunghole of oratory and
baby's growing glory. It is the GRIM
son aisle to your liver and natures ap-
paratus for blowing out the gas. 1t is
patriotism's fountain head and the tool
chest for pie. Without it the politician
would be wanderer upon the face of
the world and the cornetist and chorus
girl go down to unlonored graves. 1t Is
the grocer's friend, the orators pride and
the dentists hope. 1t puts some men
on the rostrum and many on the rock
pile. 1t is temptation's lunch counter,
when attached to maiden, and the
tObacconist's friend, when attached to q
man. Without it married life would he
a perpetual summer dream and the dude
would lose half of his attraction. And
most of all, and greatest OF all, If there
were no mouths there would be no good
byes or happy greetings. no word of
comfort or hope, no laughter full Of SUM-
shine and no song full of praise, the
hired Man could not be called to dinner,
and nc one would ask, "Where did you
get that hat"

nitchell,s Corn pa,ac..


The Corn Belt Exposition opens in

enterprising citizens of that city will
expend $4,000 in erecting palace, and
the celebrated State band Of Des Moines.

Four prizes are offered for county ex-
hiDits amounting to $3.50. Here ia an
opportunity for Brule county to make
glad waste places" by little judicious
advertising.
The affair is, Of course, patterned after
the "Sioux City way" and as there arc
many residents Of Brule county who
have never seen one Of the much talked
of corn palaces this will afford All Cd.
p0rtunity to see one ct trifiing ex-
pense, as the journey isa short lone and
days time all that is necessary. The
Mitchell exposition will be fully equal
to the first one held at Sioux City, which
created SO much interest and was con-
sidered so noyol in every wav. The
GRAPHIC Is very positive that no one in
the county will regret the time and
money spent on visit to the first Of the
Corn Belt expOsitiOns.

The crops


The writer has tramped about thous-
and miles or less-after the fes-
tive prairie chicken within the past
two weeks and from which is deducted
the following: Wheat has filled out
much better than was expected, though
the greater part is shrunken more or
less. The early sown wheat has splen-
did stand, though the heads are short.
An occasional field will go 20 bushels to
the acre, but the average will be nearer
10. The late wheat and that poorly put
in will not be over half crop. Oats
average better than wheat, and rye could
hardly be better. Not much barley is
found but the yield is heavy what there
is Of it. There are many good fields Of
corn to be found despite the fact that
this Is anything but a corn year. The
late rains and moist atmosphere early
In the week has helped corn wonderful
ly. In some fields the ears are past the
roasting" period and very satisfactory y
yield is anticipated. On the whole,
the increased acreage over the past few
years will bring the aggregate yield Of all
crops beyond any previous year for long
time and the outlook is splendid for a
brisk fall trade.

The Horse Race.

The pony race at Pukwana Saturday
between Barney Mccoy and the Blnegar
horse resulted in the latter winning. A
heavy rain fell for three hours in the
morning, spelling the track. and it was
not until seven O'clock in the evening
that w. G. Richards reluctantly consent
ed to start his pony. The track was in
no condition and he would have been
justified in refusing to take his pony
out of the barn. Barney won the first
heat easily. The second heat he stepped
in hole or soft place in the track and
his rider laid him up the heat. The
Binegar horse won the deciding heat by
a neck. Mr.. Richards Immediately offer
ed to make another race for Monday OF
any day this week, but Mr.. Binegar etat-
ed that he had sold his horse to l. H,
Welch Of Chas. Mix.

Democratic County Convention.
This convention met at Pukwana Sat-
urday to elect twelve delegates to the
state convention, which meets at Cham
berlain next Thursday. Owing to q
heavy rain which fell all the morning
there was small attendance, and those
that arrived were 80 late on the ground
that the convention was not called to
order until after dinner, and quite q
number of the delegates arrived after
most Of the proceedings were completed.
in the absence of the county chairman,
the secretary, Capt. :.H...J. King, called the
convention to order. Capt. King was
selected as temporary chairman and j..
c. Mitchell of Pukwana was made secre-
tary. This organization was afterward
made permanent. The chairman ap-
pointed S. w. SWEET, P. Il. Ryan and P.
g. Carroll committee on credentials,

Coyle committee on rules and order
of business, The latter committee re-
ported in favor OF the chairman select
ing a committee Of five. one from each
commissioners district, to select the
twelve delegates and as manv alternates,
and further suggested that the commit
tee appointed be requested to give the
country townships as large representa-
tion as practicable. This suggestion was
prompted through desire to give the
farmers Of the county the advantage Of
attending officially q state convention
in their own county at a trifling expense.

named as the committee: Frank Coy]e,

Hunting Accidents.

The papers are now chronicling hunt
ing accidents. Near Watertown Satur-
uraay man had the top of his head
blown of by the premature discharge of
a gun in the hands Of boy walking
behind. Nine-tenths of the accidents
happen from the habit Of getting into
wagons with loaded guns. Never get
into wagon with loaded gun nor
allow any companion to do SO. Better
be q crank on the subject than getkilled.
When afield see that the muzzle of
your gun always points away from man
OF beast. Dent lay it on the ground
loaded when dogs are liable to step on a
trigger. Keep your eye on the other
guns that a muzzle may not point
toward you. Keep your fingers off the
triggers. Keep your wits about you.

Trade Journal:-Aside from the infor-
nation and advertisement supplies. we
have the equally pertinent fact. that the
house or 6rm that does not advertise its
goods loses just 80 much of the public
confidence. An advertisement indicates
a certain status Of responsibility and
enterprise, which are as necessary In
business as clean collar is in society.
With these facts as evident US the hump
on the spine Of dromedary, 1t is some
what conundrum, that men of business
are by no means scarce who are as chary
OF an advertisement as they might be of
az :impOster. For all that the fact re-
mains that the advertising OF the nine
teenth century is the great drummer Of
its trade, and the man who in the most
judicious manner secures its services is
the man who will find that in proportion
to the seed sown in the crop he reaps.

Parker Press:-A party ofhunters from
Iowa were preparing large box of
chickens for shipment yesterday, about
ninety birds, when Deputy Sheriff Shell
don inquired il they were posted on the
state game law. The sports supposed it
was q farmer talking to them, and told
him to go to h and mind his own
business. Mr.. Sheldon thought he would
teach the hunters lesson, cited the
statutes, and forbid them shipping or
selling the birds. A penalty of $40 is
prescribed for each bird If more than
twenty-five are found in possession OF
any one party, and the Law expressly
forbids the shipment Of single bird out
of the state. The sportsmen begged for
their birds, but finally left them, glad to
avoid the payment Of $1Oa bird for the
ninty birds. It doesn't pay to be too
smart.
