Storm Causes Damage to the Chicago

The wind ragged and howled Saturday
night and it was one of the hardest
blows that have visited the city for
some time. At about midnight a big
plate glass window of the Chicago
Clothing Co opposite The Saul
paugh, blew in, and it was two
hours before the front could be boarded
up, although Officers. Bienapf and Ohm
stead promptly notified Manager Robel
and offered every assistance possible,
for which Mr.. Rebel desires to return
thanks. He says that but for their
promptitude the entire stock would
have been damaged.
Snow blew into the store at great
rate, sitting over the goods and infict.
ing considerable damage from moisture.
1t was necessary to close the store to-
day in order to get things in shape, but
1T will open up tomorrow again and
business will go on just the same.

A little girl spoke up aud said that she

her that it was lawful for children to

SUGAR BETS.
The Board of Trade Will Send a Mar
Out to Secure Acreage Thereof.


At the board of trade morningMonda,
II. A. Patterson was appointed mem
Der OF the committee on manufacture
in place of John N Hail. who asked t,
be relieved therefrom.
Mr. Currier said that he had received
| only one reply to the last lot of letter
sent out for information regarding su
gar beet culture. Eleven letters wer,
sent He also stated that he had writ
ten to Congressman McCleary for infor
nation regarding the culture of beets
and the cost of factories and machinery
used therein, and received reply tina
he would call the attention of the agri
cultural department to the matter, an
secure all such information possible
Ed Schumacher said the ST. LOU
Park company was doing considerable
in the way of securing sugar beet a;re
age here. He favored letter bein-
sent out by the board to the farmers re
garding the securing of beet acreage.
Mr.. Haynes thought personal visit
to the farmers would be much more sat
isfactory.
Mr.. Hall thought man should b
sent out for week or ten days among
the farmers
Mr.. Heinze thought this was all right,
but that IT letter was sent ahead 1t
would prepare the farmers for the visit
They would then be able to talk on the
matter, and say definitely what they
would do
Mr.. Schumacher thought this all
right and would work well. He would
furnish team for any man the board
might select.
After some further discussion Mr.
Haynes moved that the president of the
board be authorized to employ man to
go out among the farmers to secure beet
acreage at an expense of not to exceed
$50. and after some discussion the mat
ter was adopted.
Mr.. Currier said he had been inform
ed by a leading business man of this
city, who wanted the matter brought
Eefore the board, that he had it from
source, that if the officials of
the M. & ST. L. road were approached
by delegation of our business men, re-
garding what the people here wished in
the matter of getting the Cannon Valley
road extended, that favorable re
suits might follow. The matter was re-
ferred to the railroad committee
Some little discussion was had over
section 5, Of chapter relating to streets
and sidewalks. of the proposed new

provides that the council in the case of
a petition for public Improvement,
should not be required TO proceed in the

jority of the property owners have sign
ed the application, and the further pro
vision, that it shall not be competent
for the council to order the work,
against a report of the board that the
property cannot be found benefited to
the extent of the damages, costs and ex-
penses incurred or that third of the
property owners affected have not pc
titioned for the same Several mem
hers thought after reading the section
that there was no conflict.

that if his company chose to take the

so regardless of the Omaha's action,
even if the two roads were to parallel
each other within two or three miles
for the entire distance. Mr.. Day says
that as the extension of his road will be

Walker, was a lefty visitor Monday
for a short time. He was en- route
home from his farm near PhilbroOk,
where he has been experimenting the
work OF threslling his grain and
putting up hay. He states that his
grain crop was badly damaged by
the rains in August, Immediately
after it was harvested. He has q
large crop of hay. which he thinks
will be quite valuable this season by
reason of the destruction of q con-
siderable quantity of hay in that
locality by the rain. He said it was
not an uncommon sight to see large
stacks of hay floating down the
Long Prairie river. The hay stacked
on the bottom lands OF that stream
if not carried away, is practically
worthless, as it was almost wholly
submerged, and is now rOtting.
