and he has had no cause to regret II.
Yesterday was one of the hottest
days OF the season the sun and south
winds combining to elevate the mor-
curry up To n height II has seldom
known in recent years In this section
This morning opened with every pros.
pect that another high record would
he made this afternoon. II Is ideal
for the development Of the corn crop
and the people have not suffered eX.
! tcnsivcly, so that II is good thing on
! the whole for the country. The ice
cream and cold drink men are among
those most benefited 10y the change Of
conditions.
II has not yet been made known
! where the annual CnCampmCnt Of the
| Nebraska national guard will be held
but II has been decided that the picked
men from the various companies will
meet at KCarncy July 81 to August
J, To engage in rifle target contest.
At this contest n team win be chosen
to compete in the national contest to
be held in New Jersey. Kcaney Is
Il strong candidate for the enCamp-
mcnt and has offered sufficient ground
| for its accommodation, but the Qups-
tiOn of railroad rates and transpOrta-
tion is bOthering some, and the place
has not been selected. 4 central lO.
cation for the assembling of the com
panics of the two regiments is de
sired with plenty of open ground for
the maneuvers.
County Treasurer Schavland ycstcr-
day issued n call for all the Outstand-
ing 1904 general fund warrants, all
the 1904 bridge fund warrants, all the
1903 road fund warrants, commission
er district No. 2, all the 1904 road fund
warrants, commissioner district No.
3. This makes an entire clean up of
outstanding county warrants and road
district certificates except those of
districts No. 2, 4 and Ia No warrants
have been issued against the funds of
1905, so that the county is now prac-
tiCally out of debt. This makes a re
markably good showing for a county
that has been laboring since its orga-
ni2atiOn under the burden of debt, and
speaks well for the economical admin
istration of affairs by the present and
past county officers.
The plan for the building OF new
Methodist church at Warnerville is
meeting with favor there and the
chances are that bids for the construC-
tion of the building will soon be re-
ceived. Warnerville is a new charge
of Rev w. X. Peters of the Norfolk
circuit. year ago there was no So
ciety in Warnerville; now there are
sixteen members and the society is in
a hOurishing condition and a church
building is desired in which to hold
services. Many of the members are
financially able to lend a strong aid
to the building of the church. For
many years services and meetings of
all kinds from public dances to prayer
meetings have been held in the hall.
and the church people of the precinct
will be glad to have house of wor-
ship.
No dipsOmaniacs have yet been re-
suit of the new Epperson law. At Lin
coin there is hardly room to take care
of them should they be received, but
DR.. Greene hopes for more room and
better facilities after the Norfolk hos
pital is opened up and ready for bust
ness. 1t is thought that the provision
attached to the new law will make
the cases few that are sent up. The
county will have to pay SIS per month
for the care of such patients, and it
is possible that some of the hardest
drinkers may not be considered worth
that much to the county. deposit
of $45 for three months will be re-
quired. The treatment will be about
the same as for the drug habit. Less
whiskey will be given each day, until
in ten days the supply is shut off.
Medicine and enforced sanitary habits
are expected to complete the cure.

HerriCk, S. D., the Rosebud reserva-

People at Fairfax, whose relatives and ,

fearful for a time lest some of their .
people had been hurt, and they were !
walking the floor for a time yesterday |

were out of business for some time. .
The first news OF the storm was
brought to Bonesteel by a man on

ont Of Herrick ahead of the storm but
at the advice of his friends he re-
mained until its fury had been spent. I

service in getting details of the storm,
