A furious wind storm, accompanied
by rain, swept through town last
Wednesday evening. VIM. Barrett,
V. Caswell, and Andrew Bjelde, a
young man in z. Caswell's employ,
were just coming to town on load of
nay when the first heavy wind caught
the load, turned it upside down and
young Bjelde was caught under it.
He sustained some bad bruises and
had one leg quite severely hurt by
Icing caught under the tie pole, but
fortunately no bones were broken.
The team got away and made lively
run for home, luckily doing no damage
in their wild race.

How lucky it is that we will not
have a dose of politics to harass us
this year of trials and perplexities.
We have much to worry, distress and
disturb us, goodness knows, but a
political campaign would be calam-
ity and disaster more fatal in it's eff
fects than a cholera epidemic. Now
we fellows who are blue, discouraged
and down at the heels mentally,
ought to be thankful that we are not
near as bad off as we might be. Just
think of our condition physically,
mentally, and morally as it is, and
then what it would be if the horrors
of campaign were added.

whole water trough suitable for the

amusement for the boys in one short
minute than can be accomplished in

Flax has prospered the past two
weeks, and in come portions of the
county is out of hahn from frost.
The acreage sown was greater than
last year, but the yield will be small
and of infe2ior quality, and owing to
the weedy condition of the straw the
dockage will be a further and quiteim-
portant item in reducing the net re-
suits. Still very little helps, and one
acre of flax is nearly as good as two
of wheat this season.

Perhaps we are lucky in not hay
ing our electric light plant in opera
ton these pinohing times, as they are
an expensive luxury even in flush
seasons. It is a hard season on the
owners of either electric or gas light
plants, as people are forced to econo-
mtze, and all luxuries are tho first to
be pruned down. The poles which
ornament our streets will come into
use some day, provided that some
day is not SO far distant that the
poles may decay and fall before it
alfives.

rather disgraced, the lots opposite j.

ed to the lot owned by the village
and domiciled thereon in close prox-
unity to the water tank. Some need
ed repairs, improvements and the
ike will be made, and the old relic
of pioneer days will be made do duty
for some time longer. 1t was hoped
that the authorities could have built
some more suitable building ere this,
but it is out of the question for the
village to do more than make neces-
sary repairs while the finances are in
such crippled condition, A jail
now is as necessary as a handle on a

What a nuisance and annoyance it
is to have the railroad run through
the centre of town as it does here.
The matter is further aggravated by
having both main and side tracks
interseetipg the principal business
streets. Aside from the inconveni-
ence it is hazardous, and we would
ask parents to caution their children
to be very careful in crossing, as dur
ing the coming months there will be
lots of trains passing and switching,
and it will be necessary to use great
care in order to avoid accident.

Every year it is necessary to eau
ton our readers to guard against
damage by prairie fires, and yet de
spite continual and frequent dis
astrous losses from this source, each
season as it rolls round brings a
record of new disasters. A fire break
is simple and inexpensive, yet usu-
ally effective precaution, and it is
carelessness and negligence not to
guard against this danger. The
heavy growth of grass the present
season will necassitate extra care,
and the best time to do this work is
right now. After the first frosts look
out for heavy prairie fires.

A numerously signed petition, on
which appears the names of most of

ed TO the officials of the Northern
Pacific railroad, requesting the APP
pointment of w. Fl. Rogers as the
new station agent. Mr.. Rogers, it
will be remembered, was for many
years one of the Great Northern en-
ployes at this point, and for the last
year of his residence here, the agent
of this station. He was always court
eous and accommodating and hence
popular.

Quite a force of men are at work
laying iron, grading up and ballast
ing the new Northern Pacific tracks.
There will only be a comparatively
small part of the side-tracks laid this
fall, but it is the intention, so we are
reliably informed, to have ample
tracks eventually laid to accommodate
patrons of this popular line. It is
not definitely known just when work
on the depot will be begun, but the
intention is to have the material and
workmen here in season to have the
depot completed before cold weather
sets in. Should business warrant it
there will be freight and passenger
train each way daily, instead of one
mixed train as now. Rumors to the
effect that the line is to be extended
west, and that the Browns Valley
branch is to be operated by the Nor
them Pacific are being circulated, but
it is impossible to confirm the rumor.

Fatal Accident.

About l o'clock Monday afternoon
a young man named Peter Anderson
was thrown from car near the Cyrus
gravel pit and almost instantly killed.
The following are the particulars of
the accident: The gravel train at
work surfacing the new Northern Pa
cifc yards at this place that had gone
to the gravel pit just east of Cyrus,
was switching onto the side track for
the purpose of loading up the cars.
As usual all the men were seated on
the fiat cars, Anderson, with others,
being on the rear end of the last car.
The signal was given to start the
train, just as the brakeman made an
effort to throw the switch, but for
some, reason the switch would not
throw clear over, and fearing that the
cars would leave the track, the de-
ceased among others jumped to their
feet just as the train was signaled to
stop short. The sudden jerk threw
him over the end of the car and he
was dragged by the brake beam for
almost eight or ten feet and instantly
killed.
His body was brought to Morris
and placed in the hands of an under
taker, after which it was taken east on
Tuesdays train to Brainerd for in
terment.
Deceased was about 20 years of
age and brother of Charley Ander-
son, section forena an at Cyrus. He
formerly lived at Brainerd, but dur
ing the past summer has been living
with his brother at Cyrus. His par
ents live in Norway, from which
country he came about two wears ago.

The school meeting on Monday eVen- ing, the 9th, was opened with Henry k. Scott in the chair, Harry II. Heminway, clerk pro tenn, in the absence of II. NJ. HickOX, and II others. Committeeman MarggraG explained the cause of the meeting "the fact that there were 3 at tendants in the primary department of the Center district while there was only seats for 49. The teacher got along with the situation by dividing the school at recess allowing those who staid in to be seated while the others were out, thereby relieving the leg aches of the youngsters and that there was immediate demand for larger accommodations There is now in the Center district in the different rooms lS0 scholars, with accommodations for about lG0, the lower rooms being most crowded.

DEATH OF MRS SARAH A. NICHOLS.

DEATH OF MRS SARAH A. NICHOLS.
 Fell asleep in Jesus, October f, Mrs Sarah A. Nichols, widow of the late Dea Ira Nichols of Huntington, aged S2 years and two months. Mrs Nichols was the last surviving member of the large family of Ezra c. Wheeler and Ann Curtiss, and leaves in the direct line of the family only one nephew and a grandniece. In her maidenhOod days Miss Sarah A. Wheeler for number of years taught school in the various school districts of the town. In November, 1S49, she was married to Dea Ira Nichols and proved herself a faithful wife, wise and kind mother to his family of young children. A month before her 16th birthday she made confession of her faith in Christ, and united with the Con- gregational church of her native town, and she has for 66 years been an earnest and consistent member of the church of her choice. Her great love for the church and it's services, has been very manifest by most faithful and constant
 attendance on the house of God till with. in four Sabbaths of her death. When the church building was burned down a year ago last July, none felt the loss more keenly than she, and she was one of the first to subscribe $50, but when she saw the prospect was not promising for raising the money needed, she pro. l posed to give $500 if the society would pay her interest on it while she lived
 Then again when the appeal was made to enlarge the subscriptions, she agair offered $200 more on the same condition I These generous gifts stimulated others tt
 give so that the new building was dedi
 cated nearly free from debt. Then il
 her last will she leaves $500 more, the in ! terest of which is to perpetuate her year ly subscription for the preaching of tn I gospel. In her will she also remember
