Prof Foster predicts storms July 18th
TO s1st; saws that the greatest amount
of wind will be along the 10th parallel
but that the wave will be a rainmaker.
The thermometer has been playing
around the 100 degree spot for several
days with a hot south wind and unless
a change comes soon the corn crop will
go to join the oats and wheat.
The citizens of Y Yankton will procure
tent capable of holding 1000 persons
in which will be held the republican
state convention which is to meet in
that city on the 22d of August.
From the New Era we learn that
Rev. q. w. Swift has resigned the pas
torate of the Hurley Baptist church.
This will be disappointment to the
many who have been attending service
here.

the Masonic fraternity.
Attorney Dirstine and DR.. Robert

Dirk DeVries says he will hereafter
celebrate the 4th of July to the full ex-
tent of his ability to celebrate great
events. This conclusion is arrived at not
only on account of the birth of our re-
public on that day, but also because on
July 4th, 1894, there was born to him
daughter. Long may they live, and
may Dirk be able to celebrate in good
form on each succeeding anniversary,
not forgetting that the wife will always
be entitled to her full share Of the ceie-
bration.

Mrs. G.. Sumner on the last day of
June severed her connection with the
postal department of Uncle Sans gov
ernment. Four fourteen years Mrs.
Sumner has been engaged in carrying
the mail, most of the time between
Swan Lake and Vermillion and Hurley
and Vermillion, but during later years
between Hurley and Freeman.
Through rain and shine, blizzard and
tempest she has driven oyer these
routes, with seldom a miss. We doubt
if there are many men who could have
managed better than she has done in
supporting her family. She chose this
work because she felt better when in
the outside air, and now that she is out
of the job she says she hardly knows
what to do with herself.
Claude Hill met with an accident
Sunday which might have resulted
seriously, and as it is he will lose part
of his anticipated fun during vacation.
The family horse was out in the yard
with chain around his neck on which
there was large snap. Claude was
feeding the horse grass, the chain hang
ing down in such manner that he
held it between his legs. BY u sudden
throwing up of the horses head the
snap caught Claude in the fieshy part
of the leg and lifted him from the
ground, but the flesh soon gave way
and allowed him to drop. DR.. Graves
was at once sent for and found in nee
essary to place his patient under the
influence of chloroform and take a
number of stitches to close up the rag
ged wound which had been made. The
main artery was laid bare, and if it had
been severed the result would have
been more serious. 1t was close call.
