Tho storm.

Is
As the full and reliable reports Of
the damage done by the late storm
come in, they show that the Record,
If anything, overstated the loss in
last weeks issue. It is hard propo-
sition to give the exact number Of
cattle lost in Emmors county. Last
week we said that we. thought it
would be from 600 to 700 head; and
the former number appears to have
been more nearly correct. There are
|stockmen down near the South Da-
kOta line who lost stock, but whether
Fall OF them were lost inthis countywe
do not know. The high water ia
Beaver river during the week has cut
Loft communication with the south
halt Of the county, and reliable state
ments of the total loss have not been
received. It is thought that the farm
ers-those with a few head OF cattle,
who raise crops rs well as stock were
light losers, as almost without excep.
tion their stock was sheltered. Cattle
men who have ridden over the county
since the storm estimate the number
of cattle lost at from $50 to GOO.
In the north half OF the county 4sa
far as heard from, the losses Of cattle
were light probably not more than
SO in oil. At Glencoe, however, Com.
missioner Macdonald lost 300 head OF
sheep. Mr.. N. was absent at Winona

their good ship grounded on Il sunxen

The band boys were agreeably sur
prised with the financial result of the
basket social last Friday evening.
The weather was misty and gloomy
and the walking had to be done
through mud and slush; but, notwith-
standing these drawbacks, enough
people attended to make the affair re-
markably successful. There was spir-
tied competition In bidding Tor the
baskets, one basket selling for 1925.
The profits from the social amounted
to $3.50, and next day constitutions
by those who did rot attend swelled
the total to over $40. This sum en-
ables the band organization to pay it.

played eight or nine pieces during the
evening, and people who had not heard

astonished that they had made sucl,

BOUNDING BEAVER
II Raging RiUer in Place of thu
Usually Modest and Gentle
Little Brook.

just at the. present time the people
! Of Linton and the Beaver valley are
doing quite Bit Of thinking, the
cause of their cogitations being the
mischieyolls conduct Of the usually
staid and sober brook that flows
through the valley. The front end OF
the week saw Spring creek nearly to
the top of its banks, but it lowered
without doing much Of anything in
the flood line. After Spring had sub
sided bit, Beaver began to get ugly.
Fer three or four days it kept rising
until at present it is away above any
thing that the Oldest inilabilant has
ever seen. AT Linton the creek has
formed a vast lake, in places more
than half-mile wide. The water
covers about all of Major Pitts back
and front yards except where the
house stands; and, by Godfrey! it Is
quite an undertaking for the urbane
and courteous county treasurer to go
to and from his domicile. There is
overflow water In the door-yard of the
Record family, although it would take
a rise of another foot to do any dam
age.
So far nothing has been destroyed,
except that the water isseveral inches
deep over Major Pitts we'll, and it
is thought the we'll has cavcd in.
The extreme rise in Beaver creek is
caused by the bed of the creek being
almost bank full of packed snow,
which has prevented the water from
flowing OF along the usual channel.
Ice gorges at narrow points have also
added to the overflow.
During the week the people of the
south side of the creek have been COM
pletely isolated from the county seat,
although two or three persons on horse
back waded their animals across
the wide sheet of water on the other
side Of the bridge south Of Marchant's
pasture, and came to town. Cad
Logue, the Dakem- Linton mail-car-
rier, was one Of them, taking the mail
to Dakem and returning that way.
The water the other side Of the bridge,
although covering a, considerable ex-
tent Of territory, does not, along the
road grade, come up to the stirrups.
The bridge between the Horton and
Herolz pastures is two or three feet
out Of sight.
AT the Petrie ranch it appears,
viewing the situation from the hills,
that water is all around the house.
Though there is no damage to speak
of, as yet, everybody is anxious to see
the creek fall.
Later.-The water is falling slowly.

An EnElish ~ an on tho Boer War.
Mr.. Frederick Harrison, the noted
English writer, asserts that England
Is being slowly bled to death, while
the government Systematically sup.
presses the truth and diffuses decept-
i've reports. He says:
"Four successive attempts have
been made in four successive centuries
to accomplish what we are trying to
accomplish in South Africa. All have
failed. Philip II. OF Spain, in the six
teenth century, possessing unequalcd
naval and military forces and backed
by the undivided patriotism Of the
Spanish people, tried for eighty years
to subjugate Holland, only to bring
disaster to. his own country and to
stimulate Holland to great feats of
national progress.
s'In the seventeenth century Louis
XIV. Of France took up the task that
ruined Spain. He wrecked the French
monarchy and almost wrecked France;
but Holland continued to flourish.
George III. Of England, in the eigh-
teenth century, tried the policy of in
science and non-concession upon our
American colonists, driving them out
Of the empire and bringing vast loss
and humiliation upon ourselves.
"Napoleon III. or France, in the
nineteenth century, sacrificed 100000
Frenchmen in an attempt to fasten
French supremacy on distracted Mex
leo; but that country, despite its dis
traction, rallied to the standard Of
snationalism and set at naught the far
mightier strength OF the invader.
"'Thus, history teaches us unmistak-
ably that one white people, however
great and powerful, cannot politically
annihilate another. On the contrary,
small, hardy nationalities thrive under
tyranny and attack, while their assail.
ants either quit the struggle or sink
into exhaustion and confusion.

Deafness Cannot he Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out of, 10 are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
