The comments upon the death OF Mrs.
Lindsay by Papa Stroud We're uncalled
for and out of place. AS to the truth
of the alleged romance-no one ever
heard a word OF the story before. The
many friends Of Captain Junkins and
the deceased have expressed their deep
humiliation over the article and hope
that none of the relatives may either
hear Of it or read it.
Lew Halls Georgia MINISTRIES, who
gave a series of entertainments here
July 3 and 5 in a tent are having q
rocky road to travel. They keep on
playing to poor houses, and at Center
Vile an irate Yankton hotel keeper
seized their tent for a $43 board bill.
At Mitchell they played to a fair house
but two OF their horns were gone, their
trunks in pawn, and life in thelfar west
for the ''profesh' was not a continuous
season of pleasure.
Last Sunday morning at l o'clock a
hail storm was experienced in this
section, but no damage whatever was
done SO far as reported. The hail
storm did not last to exceed 10 minutes
and came down as straight as it could
fall. There was no wind accompanying
the storm and it is fair to presume that
no damage was done owing to the alb
of the customary wind. North
Dokota suffered severely from the same
storm. The Geographic dispatches
declare that: "a half million dollars
is in round numbers about what last
nights devastating hail storm cost
North Dakota. 1t was the largest,
covering o territory than any in
the history of the state. Crops that
yesterday noon promised a yield of
from twelve to eighteen bushels are a
total loss. The latest estimate from
the stricken country are that so,
acres of wheat are totally destroyed,
making a loss to the farmers OF the
state OF something like half a million
pollars. The storm covered a distance
of 200 miles in the state, and at places
was four miles wide."
Elk Point is about TO lose one of her
best families and THE COURIER is very
sorry to learn it. Next week Mrs. n. A.
Kirk and children will move to Sioux
City and occupy a residence near the
corner of Pearl and Tenth streets.
She will be joined later on by her hus-
band Judge Kirk. This worthy couple
have been residents of Union county
for upwards Of 25 years and their de-
parture is regretted by all. The Judge
has been a prominent figure in our
political contests for many years and
during that time he has held public
offices for a considerable portion. He
invaribly proved himself trustworthy
and he has a record for public probity
and honesty which not only the people
are proud of but should give the
Judge comfort in the thought that he
has done his work faithfully and we'll.
Their love to Sioux City is to euable
them to give their children the benefits
of the superior advantages which the
city possesses in the matter Of schools.
All their friends and many acquaintan-
ces bespeak for them in their
new field.
