District Court.
In the district court yesterday morn
ing the case OF 1. 2. Baker vs.. Western
Union Telegraph company, was moved
for trial. Mr.. Newton appeared for the
plaintiff, and MI. Hughes for the de.
PENDANT.
This was a suit in which Mr.. Baker
wired his correspondents in Washington,
d. c., to put in his bid to furnish corn
at Standing Rock at s1,49 per hundred
pounds, whereas the message was de-
livered to read Sill, thus entailing a
loss to plaintiff of s cents per hundred
pounds on the contract, amounting in
the aggregate to s344-the amount sued
for.
The defense was. substantially, that
accuracy is guaranteed only when mes
sages are repeated, and consequently the
plaintiff has nc cause for action.
Nearly the entire day was taken by
the attorneys in discussing legal ques-
tons involved, a portion only of the day
being taken to hearing the testimony of
the plaintiff, whose testimony was not
completed when court adjourned.
There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the past few years
was supposed to be incurable. For q
great many years doctors pronounced it
q local disease, and prescribed local rem.
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced in in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Halls

Cheney & Co., Toledo, o., is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is

windy-very.
Professor Hicks storm period seems
to have struck the Missouri slope on
schedule time, if the wind of yesterday
was any Indication. The storm was so
severe that walking was almost an i'm
possibility and business was a sort of
dead letter. No one ventured about, uu-
less his business was especially press
ing. Considerable damage was done to
property.
BORNE ON THE BREEZE.
The residence of F. G. Hollembaek is
minus a chimney, borne away by the
zephyr.
The tin roof on the Healy building
was gathered up by the breeze, and torn
from its home and surroundings.
About fifty feet Of sidewalk just op-
posite the court house is missing, and
lies about twenty feet away from where
it should be.
A number of windows in the hall at
the capitol were blown in.
The rattle and roar made 1t almost
impossible for the attorneys or witnesses
to be heard in the court ROOM.
A part of the roof of the school house
was carried off, and about a dozen
window lights blown in.
Fences innumerable we're scattered
p%romiscuously about everywhere but in
their rightful places.
The running boards and ladder on the
roof of the First National Bank block,
by which ascent is made to the weather
bureau flags, were torn loose from their
f%astenings and carried down into the
street. Observers Fallon and Thomp.
son were upon the roof at the time, but
luckily we're on the side from which the
wind came, and consequently the flying
timbers were borne away from them.
Had they been on the other side of the
pyramid on which the flags are hoisted,
q distressing accident would probably
have resulted.
