Opened the New Park.

The new ball grounds we're opened
last Monday afternoon by game be-
tween Litchfeld and Willmar. This
was the first of new series which has
been arranged between the clubs, the
last series being cancelled. It is the
intention to finish the present season
with this series, which will consist of
three games. -
The visitors came, but did not con-
quer. They returned home a defeated
club to the tune Of 8 to- 5. The new
diamond was not in the best of shape,
being trifle soft and dhgh, SO nei-
ther club did any remaik able p1ayin
Jake Theilman was in, the box and
gave Willmar good support. Some
good plays were noticeable among
both clubs, but on the whole the game
was not as interesting as might be
wished for. A large crowd was pres
ent to witness the game and lend en-
couragement to the boys. It is esti-
mated that there we're about $50 peo-
pie out.
During the game nearly all the busi-
ness houses were closed, giving all
who wished an opportunity to go out
and "root'' for the players. The
band turned out and rendered several
selections, heading the procession to
the ball bark.

Appointed Superintendent.

L. B. Allen, assistant superintend-
ent of the Willmar division of the
Great Northern, during the service of
the late Frank Shesgreent as superin-
tendent, has been appointed to sue
ceed the deceased official in Office. He
assumes his new duties this week.
Charles F. Sewell, for years con-
ductor on the road, and personally
known to President Hill, will take the
post of assistant division superintend-
ent. He was recently appointed train
master of the Willmar division and
his new post will be such that there
will be little change in his duties, ex-
cept added responsibility.
Both Mr.. Allen and Mr.. Sewell are
we'll known in railroad circles. The
former is a young man who has re-
ceived a thorough training with the
Great Northern and is at once compe-
tent and experienced: Mr.. Sewell is
said to know railroad business from
beginning to end.

a Mysterious Visitor.

Fred Segerstrom, our genial music
dealer, was somewhat frightened the
other morning by one of the tramp
genus. We understand that this is
the first instance where Fred has al
lowed gentleman of this fraternity
to do anything of the kind, but the
circumstances we're such that it could
not be avoided, and most anybody
would have felt the same way had they
been placed in like position. Fred
was preparing for trip into the
country, and arose early in the morn
ing to attend to his horses in the barn.
He had just entered when Mr.. Tramp
suddenly jumped down from the hay
loft, allghting almost on top of him.
He Immediately took to his heels, and
was out of sight in twinkling. Fred
was so badly frightened by this i'll be-
havior of his unwelcome guest that he
was unable to stir, and could give no
description of the man. He thinks it
was rather mean of fellow to take
him so completely unawares. After
returning from the country he had oc-
casion to 60 up in the hay loft and
discovered sealed letter which
seemed to him mystery. Itwas writ
ten on Commercial Hotel stationery,
and addressed to "Miss Jennie Wells,
107 East Church St., Elmira, N. Y"
Il was hardly letter, as the contents
of the envelope contained only the
same address written on both sides of
the letter sheet, together with the fol-
lowing: "Bar Barossa 113, Prairie
City, NO., W. A. Rauff." This was
written with lead pencil, while the
other was all written in ink in differ
ent hand writing. Mr.. Segerstrom is
still waiting for solution of the mys-
terry.

LAST WEEKS STORM.
An Immense Amount Of Damage Done
: to Grain Stacks and Buildings.

The storm which swept over the
county last Tuesday night and of
which brief mention was made last
week was a veritable tornado. It
ragged throughout the central part of
the county from west to east. All
grain stacks in the path of the storm
were torn down, and the bundles scat
tered over the fields, while the loose
straw blew away to be gathered in the
groves or fence corners. The work to
repair the stacks was in many cases
more than to erect the stacks in the
first place, and of course great deal
of grain was failed out by the fury of
the storm and is lost. Many build
ings and windmills were demolished.
A. Fl. Sperry sustained the loss of his
windmill and barn, and some damage
was done to his residence. Very for
tunately he was supplied with cyclone
insurance, however, which will help
him. Frank Strecker's large new barn
southwest of town was completely de-
molished. Our Kandiyohi correspon-
dent tells elsewhere of the damage
done in that section, and the Atwater
Republican, in speaking of the storm,
says: "Judging from reports, about
one-half the windmills in Lake Eliza
beth are down. The barn on Louis
Olson's place is completely wrecked,
some of the timbers being blown seve-
raj rods away, and many other barns
were either blown down or moved off
their foundations. On O. A. Auder-
sons place, near Atwater, a building
l4x24 feet was picked up and moved
about % feet, but with no damage
either to the building or the contents. "
Many curious phenomena observed
during the storm and freaks of the
wind might be related by the score.
Quite common occurrence during the
storm was the formation of vacuum in
the air which when it neared build
ing would cause the air inside of the
building to force out the windows.
In some cases the curtains and screens
followed the windows. In such cases
not the smallest piece of glass could
be found in the house nor in the sash.
In the great amount of damage done
and large area covered, this storm
might be said to have been the most
severe that ever visited this county.
Chris. Pearson, who lives about two
miles southeast of Kandiyohi station,
reports that the storm destroyed part
of one setting Of wheat entirely, he
estimating bis loss st grain at 800
bushels, The trees of his grove about
his buildings were uprooted and de-
stroyed, but the buildings themselves
were not seriously damaged.

The price of hard coal will be con-
siderably advanced over that of last
year as it is very difficult TO- get trans
pOrtatiOn facilities to bring it as far
west. The lack of boats in the great
lakes and the impossibility of getting
them to haul it within reason is the
prime cause for higher prices. The
demand for iron ore has been so great
all summer and, now wheat is coming
in that the boats find it more profit
able to haul the above than coal un-
less they get the same prices and if
they do we pay about two dollars
more per ton as we are doing.-Clara
City Herald. -
IA poor excuse is better than none, "
they say. : But this one is too poor to
pass muster. The iron and wheat go
east, and the more traffic going that
way the easier it ought to be to get
rates on the return voyage. It is
nothing but the coal barons' desire
for prosperity" ( for themselves) that
has caused the increase. u # . 1~E:.

tered and it is great wonder that the
accident was not fatal.-Atwater Re-
publican.

Johannes Holmgren, of Mamre, met
with a serious accident yesterday that
nearly cost him one of his feet. He
was plowing with a gang plow and in
getting off stepped in front of one of
the Golfers. The horses started up un-
expectedly and the sharp edge of the
co'ter ran over his left foot just below
the instep, nearly severing the foot
from the limb. The injured man was
brought to town and DR.. Veline dres-
sed the wound. The DR.. is of the
opinion that the foot can be saved

Ole rifle to use as a shot gun, and
