Storm Causes Great Damage.
Redwood Falls, Mimi, June %. - A
storm that destroyed growing crops
and damaged roads, bridges and cul-
verts, passed over Redwood county.
Five miles northwest of this city the
storm swept southwest for several
miles over a strip of country two and
a half miles wide. All of the small
grain in the center of this path was
completely destroyed, while at either
side the owners will not be able to
harvest more than half a crop. Hail
fell so extensively that the stones
were from six inches to foot deep
in places. Melting with the rain that
followed, streams were formed that
washed out bridges and culverts and
road grades, and the Minneapolis &
St Louis section crews were kept busy
repairing parts of the roadbed. All
afternoon trains were delayed.
Small Grain Badly Damaged.
A second storm was between Wa
basso and LambertOn, where, accord
ing to reports received, all small grain
was much damaged.
The Minnesota river has swollen to

ships are to the effect that several
thousand acres of all kinds of grain
growing in those townships were COM
pletely wiped out, and that even the
grass in meadows was pounded into
the ground. The damage wrought by
the storm seems to have been the
most disastrous in the history of Red
wood county.

Mitchell, S. D., June 28.-A family of
three, father, mother and daughter,
were killed outright by flying timbers
in a storm at Plankinton, in Aurora

business houses sustained damages
from the wind.
The town of Artesian was also
struck by tornado. 1t is known that

GOVERNORS

WILL FORM NATIONAL COMMIT.
TEE AND ASK TO CHANGE
INAUGURATION DATE.
Thursday in April Sought to Be
Substituted for Present Date
Governor Brooks Receives Invita-
ton to Become Member of Com
mittee and Assist in the Work.

Governor Brooks has received the in
vitation OF the board OF commission
ers of Washington, d. c., to attend a
meeting OF all of the governors of the
states to be held in Washington next
summer to decide on a change of date
Of Inauguration day.
The governors of the various states
have been invited to form a national
committee to petition congress TO fix
inauguration day for the last Thurs
day in April instead of on March 4
because of the danger of the health OF
the officials at the national capital who
are exposed to the elements during the
ceremonies. The deaths of Ambassa,
dor AZpiroz of Mexico and Senators
Bate and Plat are attributable to the
exposures of the last inaugural.
An attempt was made to have the
date changed in 1902 by the late Sena,
tor Hoar of Massachusetts. There was
a national committee of forty-tive gov
ernors formed who acted with fifteen
prominent officials of Washington.
The judiciary committee of the
house at that time did not report fav.
orably on the IIoar resolution because
it changed the late of the beginning
and closing of the session OF congress,

IRRIGATION FROM PUMPS.

The experiments in irrigation by
means of pumps, which will be made in
this state and in the vicinity of Chey-
enne, Wyoming, by the department of
agriculture under the direction of Mr..
Elwood Mead, will be of great interest.
The results may show it to be en-
tirely practicable to irrigate small
tracts Of land by this means all
through the plains region, thus re-
claiming from aridity what in the ag.
gregate will be a large area. The
chief question involved seems to be
whether an adequate amount of water
can ba raised in this way to irrigate
sufi tent land to make the employ
ment of the method profitable.
1t Is evident that this method of irri,
eating will tend toward intensified ag-
ri%culture. Water raised by pumps,
whether wind or steam is used, will
be too precious to be wasted. Farmers
will put 1t to the best practicable use
by growing crops yielding a high per-
centage Of profit per acre.
This is the kind of agriculture Colo
RADIO and all the other arid states
need. They may leave the production
of cereals to localities where farming
can be conducted without irrigation.
The reclaimed land of the arid states
will thus be used in growing crops
that command a high price per acre,
but which require careful tillage and
close attention to give the best results.
Close or intensified farming of this
kind makes it practicable to maintain
a large population per square mile. In
stead of dividing a square mile into
four farms of 1G0 acres each, it will be
divided into sixteen Of forty acres each.
Instead of supporting an agricultural
population of twenty per square mile,
farming of this kind will support
eighty. From this one may see what
intensified farming means to Colora-
do and hence what may be looked for
from any method of irrigation.-Den-
yer Republican.

A UNIQUE RECORD.
Not Another Like It in Our Broad Re-
public.

To give positive home testimony in
every locality is of itself unanswerable
proof of merit; but when we add to
this the continued endorsement from
people who testified years ago no evil
dence a be stronger. A Laramie cit
izen gratefully acknowledges the good
received from Doan's Kidney Pills, and
when time has tested the cure, we find
the same hearty endorsement, with
added enthusiasm and continued
praise. Cases of this kind are plenti-
full in the work of Doan's Kidney Pills,
and such a record is unique in the an
nails of medicine.
Mr.. Connors, contractor and carpen-
ter, Of GA East Twentieth street, Chey-
enne, Wyo., says. When living at
406 East Twenty-first street in 1899 a
gentleman called upon me, asking for
my opinion of and experience with
Doan's Kidney Pills. l told him that
to know the merits of the preparation
might benefit somebody who was SER
iously troubled with backache or kid.
ney complaint; that it's use might
prove of great advantage to others;
that l had attacks of backache and in
dications of weak or inactive kidneys,
which had undoubtedly given great re-
lief. Since then l have never been
bothered SO acutely as when Doan's
Kidney Pills first came to my notice.
When slight symptoms of either weak.
ened or overexcited kidneys have ex-
listed / have appealed to Doan's Kidney
pills, and up to date not one of those
appeals have been in vain. I advise
anyone suffering from backache or kid
Iney complaint in any of its various
forms to use this remedy. They will
not be disappointed"

SIGNS OF

Referring to the race question in the
south and the conditions surrounding
the colored race, Mr.. W. E. Curtis says:
Everywhere in the south one hears
the white people deplore the fact that
the negroes are making little progress
in a material sense; that very few of
them are buying lands or homes or
cattle o. other property. 1t is assert
ed that they will not work half their
time. and that when they get their pay
they waste 1t in trines and save moth
ing. Yet the most encouraging statis-
tics concerning the negro race, to be
found in the census report, to which
l referred yesterday, concern their az

the farms and homes owned by them.
