The awful disaster by which Galvs stor
was at once overwhelmed by storm ane
wave and thousands of lives lost ane
millions of property destroyed in one o
the great calamities of the century. The
terrible Easter Sunday OF 1897 in thi.
valley was like it, except that at Calves
ton, the waves and waters of the broae
gulf came in over an island only six fee
above the tide level, while the wind wa:
far stronger and beat upon large cit,
full Of helpless people. Oh the pity of it

Incidents that are comic may be seer
around our hotels. One of these hap
pened yesterday. A guest at one O
these hotels, who was not a resident o
Manitoba, arrived armed with guns ane
cartridges galore, so he said. He open
ly declared his intention of shooting
duck, prairie chicken, partridge, ane
even discussed the slaughter of deer
When he was informed that license te
the extent of s25 had to be obtained be
fore the slaughter commenced. he wa!
most indignant. He is not out on /:
shooting tour now. He has left the city
Winnipeg Free Press.
A very pleasant gathering of the w. F
M. S. of the M. E. Church, and friends
met at the residence of Mrs. F. M. Kint
last Thursday afternoon. After tn.
usual business was transacted, mis-
sionary program was rendered which
proved both instructive and entertaining
i'll which the children took part. The
children's mite boxes were then opened
the contents amounting to over IS. Re
freshments were then served which were
much enjoyed by all, after which the
meeting adjourned, all voting this frs
mite-box opening quite success.
Probably the most severe electric, vino
and hail storm known in the history O
the county occurred last Saturday after
noon. In the vicinity Of Humboldt it i.
reported that hail did great damage
! Lander Bros, living near this place, were
damaged to the extent of $500, by hav
ing their grain stacks scattered over the
field and their granary overturned ane
badly destroyed, while many farmers ii
that vicinity suffered more or less in the
same way. In Hallock, besides crush
ing large shed that stood near the OAK
on barn, lightning struck four differen
houses, and though all were occupied, nc
one was hurt, and with the exception of;
few chimneys and few splinters knock
ed from the buildings, everything turned
out all right. Last Tuesday afternoon
the heaviest rainfall known to the oldes
resident in Hallock occurred. 1t poured
down steadily for nearly six hours and il
a short time all the bitches, cutters ant
waterways were so full that the volum,
of water was too great for its outlet, ane
the result was that regular flood wa
on for time. The Paulson residenc,
was so flooded that the occupants had t.
move out. The street between tn,
Graham and Eckhol,n residences wa
completely submerged, and from Their
back, there was perfect lake. The En-
terprlse office stood in eleven inches O
water. Luckily we have only recent,
had the building placed on an elevate,
stone foundation or it might have been
case of move out with us, too. Nearl
|,all the cellars in town are brim full q
water, and as to cisterns, there is n,
lquestion about it.-Hallock Enterprise
