evening while people were at church
and it was with difficulty that the
congregations reached home:through
the drifting, binding snow. 1t was
the heaviest blizzard in a good many
years. There are few houses that
did not culver or sway under its
fierce blasts.
An architect from York. Pa.
looked over the Lutheran property
IN this town last week, and told the
congregation that the walls of the
present church building are not
strong enough to surmount it with
second story, and the walls are not
strong enough to arch over like the
ceiling IN the Presbyterian church
building. A new church building
better than any in town can be built
for fifteen thousand dollars.
Sheriff Lipp's stable dog, a fine
mastiff, mistook his master the other
evening when he entered the stable.
The dog sprang upon the sheriff7s
breast and almost threw him down.
With bls left hand he grasped the
brute by The throat, and with his
right clenched fist he delivered q
blow on the dogs head with such
force that the hand was severely
hurt. By this time the animal knew
him and the trouble was over, bat
the sheriff has a sore hand.
"California's Young Men and Oak
land Lutheran published in Oak
land, California, lies on our table.
1t is bright paper issued mouthly.
The name, as the reader observed, in
dicates union of interest, the pro-
motion of Christian young men, and
the cause of the Lutheran church.
Rev. Philip Graft, M. A, who so ably
furthered the interests of the Luth-
eran people in this place and com
munity some years ago. has charge
of the Lutheran department of the
paper, and keeps up his part of the
journal admirably. The many friends
of Mr.. Griaf here are pleased to
learn of his prosperity and of the
prosperity of the people he labors
for in the golden State.
An exchange says another swind-
Ter is working the country districts
His game is new one and citizens
bite at it. The scamp says he is the
representative of aco-operative store,
which sells groceries, dry goods,
tools, etc, to citizens at wholesale
prices. To get the benefit of the
store the farmer is required to paw
fee of sixty cents year, or one dol
lar in advance for two years. 1t is a
slick game and as the fellow who is
working it is a slick talker, many
citizens are parting with their 81
bills to get advantage of the coop
erative store. The store exists only
in the brains of the agent and he lisa
fraud
A man and a woman in a buggy
on their way to Lewistown were ov-
ertaken by the blizzard on Sunday
evening, and sought shelter at the
home of Emery McCahan north of

particles of snow, and the horse was

ice. The beasts eye winkers were
frozen into a solid mass. The ami

Mr. McCahan's over night, and re-
newed their Journey on Monday
morning.
