PATH OF THE STORMS.
The storms travelled from southwest to
northwest in parallel lines, and there
we're three of unusual severity. The
westermost arose in South Dakota. and
traversed the east end of the state, strik-
ing Alpena, McFlette, ST. Lawrence and
a - re c. 60 81
this storm did no damage to life or limb
but caused considera BILE damage to prop
erty and crops.
The central storm was terrific E7It was
first heard of at Pipestone, Mimi, in the
southwest corner of the state. where it
struck about 6 O'Clock p. m. It's record
there was one killed, one injured and
seriously damaging property in its course.
Its path was from 400 to 600 feet wide
NARROW BUT TERRIFIC
The storm passed over Tracy and Echo
and was next heard of at Renville, where
it was only forty rods wide and of cor
responding intensity of action There
was another victim here, besides many
injured, and there was great
devastation of buildings and
property. Litchfeld was the next
in line. Two persons were killed and
many injured. The northermost point in
Jlt C6uGIdl pdlb VI bn6 SIOTu1'S DdUl dD-
parently was Collegeville, in Stearns
county, where the damage was principally
to the building of st. Johns University.
THE EASTERN END.
The eastern end of the storm started in
at Window about Z 80 o'clock, or an hour
and a half later than the central storm.
No great damage was done at this point,
but when the storm reached Sleepy Eye
shortly before S o'clock, its intensity was
incalculable. At least one was killed and
number injured.
The same storm next struck Glencoe,
where its work was death dealing The
number of killed and injured there has
not been definitely ascertained yet, but
the indications are that the wind played
as great havoc there as anywhere.
Minneapolis caught what was appar-
entity the tail end of this blow 1t swept
across the city, dipping down to the
ground, near Lake Harriet and next to
New Boston. Telegraph wires are down
in many directions, and full particulars
are difficult to secure.

RECORD OF THREE MONTHS.
In summarizing the record of southern
development for the past three months.
the Manufacturers Record says The
gradual expansion of the industrial inter-

last three months the number of new

and 436 for the last quarter of 1898. This
is the largest number of new enterprises
reported in any one quarter for eighteen
months.
''In view of the general conditions pre-
vailiug throughout the country and of the
hesitation because of the tariff discussion.
IL is remarkable proof of the improving
tendency of the business interests of the
south that in the last three months 1S7
new enterprises have been projected,
against 436 during lthe last three months
OF 1898, or an increase of nearly 100 per

Ballot Reform.

Last week we gave the bill that
has been passed by the legislature
to regulate the matter of suffrage,
to be submitted to a vote of the
people before it can become law.
In the matter of casting and count
ing the vote, there is another bill,
which has also to be submitted to
the people before it becomes a law.
We have not room to give all OF
its provisions, but give a couple OF
its sections, SO that our readers
may see how much precaution has
been provided in it to secure the
purity of the ballot. Any one who
will compare the proposed law with
the old one will see that this is a
vast improvement on it, and will
also understand that the hue and cry
about it not being what the people
want, is nothing but political bun
combe, and the howl of disappoint-
ed politicians, who find that they
have been cleverly outwitted by the
adoption of the measure:
Sec. II. That the election at each poll
ing place shall be presided over by six
commissioners of election, assisted by
two clerks OF election, resident and quail
fed voters OF the precincts in which they
are TO act. The commissioners shall be
appointed not less than ten days prior to
an election, as hereinafter provided:
Said commissioners of election shall be
selected from oppsing parties, providing
there be sufficient number OF political
parties resident in the several precincts
competent to fill said offices; that each
political party shall have the right te
designate one person at each election pre-
crnct, who shall at all times have acces:
to the polling booth for the purpose Of
witnessing the voting, as well as the mar
king of the votes.
Sec. Ii. That in all elections, the par
ish of Orleans excepted, the Board OF Su
pervisors of Election OF each parish sha!
consist of three persons, to be appointed
one by the police jury, one by the clerl
OF court, and one by the Governor, who
shall appoint the commissioners OF cleo
ton and designate the polling places IL
each election precinct.
That said commissioners OF election
shall be selected from opposing politlca
parties, provided there be sutticlen
number Of each political party resident Q
the several precincts competent to nj
said Offices.

The Fourth at Pollock.
Ed;fnr Colfar Chronicle:

Being an observer of the delightful en-
tertainment given at Pollock on the 4th
of July, although some cynic may say you
are rather late, l feel that its merits de-
serve more than passing mention, and. IN
reply to any cynical suggestion as to tar
diness, permit me to employ the old and
familiar saying, "better late than never;
and, appropos of this, will say that many
thanks are due to you, Mr.. Editor or the
CHRONICLE, for kindly consenting to let
this communication appear in this weeks
issue, as / know you are loath to give
place to news that smacks of being stale.
No doubt your kindness is prompted by
the interest felt in the growing and pros
porous town of Pollock and the educa-
ton of the rising generation.
Contrary to the general supposltion,
the barbecue was not given in honor OF
the Nations birthday only, but to cele-
brate the progress OF the "Junior Order
of American Mechanics" a secret society
which has a lodge at Pollock, with Hour
ishinp membership. Another common
dable purpose, in which view the citi-
zens of Pollock and surrounding country
shared, was to get the people OF that sec
ton together in order order to enjoy that
social communion necessary to human
happiness. The people OF Pollock are
practical as we'll as good neighbors and
genial friends, and, being enthusiastic in
the cause of education, and ambitious to
establish a permanent school, they had
on hand refreshment stands, where all
the cooling drinks OF the season were fur
nished to the visitors, the proceeds to be
applied to the erection OF school build
ing and academy.
We feel safe in saying that no similar
occasion embraced so many pleasant at
fractions. To begin with the reunion OF
of the battle scared veterans OF both the
Confederate and the Federal armies, with
their marching to the taps of the drum
and old time command Of keep Step,
