several counties in Minnesota
and Wisconsin were visited last
Monday by storm of wind and
ram that exceeds anything in the
experience in the lives of white
people there. The rain was not in
drops. 1t was waterfall fioodino
highland and deluging streams and
low lands. The loss of life is re
ported at about two hundred peo.
pie, and the destruction of proper
ty correspondingly great.
That the men who run the prize
hghts arrange all things before the
night, is proven by the following
statement of prize fighter James
Corbett, in the declaration that the
purse ''for his prize fight with Mr..
Sharkey was divided before the
men entered the ring. 'Before the
tight" he says, 'I got SIG, 900
and placed it in safe in nv house
at Harrisburg. l don't know what
Sharkey got. It's none of my bust
ness. L had my money and then
the only thing I had to look after
was my reputation. MIR. Cor
bett asserts that this division of
the purse before the fight is the us
ual thing.
Bucklen's Arnica Salve.
Lest Saturday young blooded
horse owned by electric light plant
owner TrOxel cut the pigeon wing
to perfection. Mr.. TrOxel was
driving the animal parallel with
the railroad. An engine came, and
to the nag it seemed as if he must
go into it head foremost. The
beast was not adequate to the task
and wheeled. Mr.. Troxel slipped
out of the cart behind. When the
animal came round on the wheel
the cart struck a telephone pole
with such force that tie trotter
was relieved of both harness and
cart. Spectators say that for an
instant it looked as if both cart and
harness would not stop their up
ward go till they had reached and
hung themselves on the elephOne
wire, but they did not get up quite
, that high and came down as fast
as they went up. The horse ran
into an oats field south of the big
mill, and there serenely began to
pasture. Mr.. TroXel soon had the
animal III new outfit aud drove
around as if nothing had happen
ed. The beast seemed to take the
matter as if part of the days
programme.
Some days ago Il bolt of light
ming came down in the vicinity OF
Court House square. No one how
ever knew exactly where. Post
master Andrew Allison was stand
1 ing IN the post Office door. His
sight of it was so general that he
could not locate it's descent. He
also felt the heat of it and is salts
fed with his experience with q
bolt that escaped from the clouds
to earth. A spark of the bolt a.
big AS mans head darted into
the kitchen door of the NatiOna
Hotel and went to pieces on the
floor. Another spark as big as {
foot ball tumbled around Oh thu
kitchen floor of Professor GortDer':

kitchen as if to harbinger the com
ing of a new element for speedy

time people thought the cour
house had been struck. But as al
efforts to find tracss of the strOk'
failed the event had passed as &

someone discovered loose slate OF
the roof Ofthe Presbyterian church
An investigation followed and thel
the fact of the whereabouts of th'
object of the lightning's stroke wa:
revealed. The bolt came down OI
the church roof eight or ten feet
from the northwest corner of thu
tower. The slate was broken anG
part of the bolt went through thu
roof and must have passed to thu
ground between the plastering ant
the wall as there are no marks on
the inside of the building. Apar,
