Ard then it rained


The fellow, who have lately had
their nights made hideous by
dreams of western South Dakota
in a burning drouth are resting
easier now.> These welI-meaning
but dyspeptic individuals can now
wear their nervous systems to a
fragile conjuring up some other
frightfuI calamity; for it has rain
ed plentifully, and the country is in
no danger of a drouth at present.
IN truth, the rain of last week
was almost food. Our usually
quiet and peaceful Bad River went
on a rampage that did credit to its
name. The new railroad grade
was washed away in several places
east of town, and three or fear
construction camps west Of here
flooded. Fulton's bridge camps
were the heaviest losers. one of
these having eight hundred dollars
worth Of provisions washed away,
besides harness, wagons, tents,
and other camp equipment.
Baugh's and Garrey's grading
camps were also flooded. but the
damage done was not extensive.
The reports indicate that the
down-pour was by no means CON
fined to this locality. The Missouri
IS rising very rapidly and has al
ready carried away a part OF the
scatfolding and false work of the
new Pierre railroad bridge. The
report also comes to town this
morning that the Cheyenne River
is higher now than it has been in
twenty years.

RaiIroaders Celebrate

Several grading outfits have been
tied up in town by the damage done
to the new railroad grade east of
here by the recent rains. The
men with those outfits have been
having whoopinglS hilarious
time. But this is putting it too
mildly. An unprintable expletive
would alone suffice to express how
good a time the boys have really
had.
OF course, there will be many a
sore head in the grey dawn of the
morning after. And the frequency
with which Deputy Sheriff French
has been forced TO resort to his
knee action; leads us to fear that
the memories these visitors will re-
tain of our town may. be otherwise
unpleasant.
MI. NJ. Benster. wife and daugh-
ter Miss Alfredo, arrived to-day
from Gettysburg to Wit Miss
Benster at her homestead.

the occupant.

Our Streets TO be graded

The Business Mems Association
has made arrangeLIents to have
Several Gf our streets graded dur
ing the coming week. Michael
CAREY, who has grading camp
four miles west of town, will do
the work.
Center Avenue, Pine Street,
and, perhaps, other streets will be
graded. The contractor has agreed
to work his outfit three days, and
the number Of streets graded de-
pends upon the progress made
with the work.
This improvement is sorely
needed and ought to meet with the
approval and hearty support of
every business man in the town.
Another rain or two like the one
we have just had, and the man
who ventures out over his door
stone will risk death in one of its
most ioathsome forms. Ordinary
drowning is bad enough, but suf-
location in six feet of this black,
waxy, clinging, South Dakota
gumbo is such a death as the
Spanish Inquisitors never dreamed
81.

Death OF Hon. r. C. Eastman.

PIT. Pleasant, w. Va, Jan. Hon.
P. G. Eastman, native Of Rappahan-
mock county Virginia, died at his
home near the city Saturday night. In
the year 1860, he was united in mar
riage with Miss Mary Long, of Ms-
son county, w. Va. In the same year
he located in Mason county, where he
has since resided.
At the outbreak of the Civil War,
feeling that his allegiance was due his
native state, he espoused the cause of
the Southern Cenfederacy. At the close
of the war he returned TO Mason coun-
ty, where he resumed his agricultural
pursuits. In 1872 he WAS elected TO the
West Virginia Senate, and served four
years as member of that body. In
1880 he was elected as delegate large
from this state TO the Democratic con-
vention, which met in Cincinnati, and
nominated General Hancock for The
presidency Of the United States.

The regular monthly meeting of the
: City Council was held on Thursday
night last, Mayor P. r. Harrison, pre-
sided and all the members of the coun-
ell were present excepting Messrs. Zill
and Stewart.
The matter of condemning the land
of Henry Janney to make West Steph-
ems street straight was taken up and
City Attorney Jao. o. Lemen was in
structed to proceed at once and have
the case tried at the January term of
court.
The matter of removing the trees in
front of the County Court house was
taken up and by advice of counsel was
ordered that the trees be permitted to
remain.
The committee appointed to investi-
gate the nuisance in the rear of Lit
ties pool room reported that Mr. Lit
tie had agreed to abate the nuisan &c
and the committee recommended that
in the future no license be granted to
any such resorts until the owners have
provided for the comforts and conven-
ience of their customers.
The suit against Chas. G. Smith to
compel him to remove the wall on the
John street side of his property was
settled by the council agreeing to aban
don the suit and Mr.. Smith paying all
costs. Mr.. q. w. Schill, the chairman
of the committee very strenuously
opposed dropping the suit but one of
the other members voted with him,
Mr.. l.. HI. Thompson and the vote
stood six to two. Mr.. Schill, quietly
and deliberately handed his resignation
to the clerk and retired from the coun-
ell. Mr.. Schill has been an active work
er III the council and always took an
active interest in the improvement and
advancement of the town. By this ac-
ton, of course we understand, that the
Council does in no manner waive it 8
authority in any case of like character
that may come up.
The question of new charter was
brought up by Mr.. Rentch, of the ISec-
ond ward and a committee of Messrs.
Poole, Rentch, Little, Zill, Mcdowell
and -str9rney Lemen was appointed to
take up the matter and to put it
in shape. When the committee is ready
to report the Council will meet in
special session to consider the matter.
This movement contemplates the ex-
tension of the city limits to take in
what is known rs the boom and Frank
81 berry town. This will add several
thousand to the city's population.

NUMBER Is


Hammond, Ind, best known as the
winter Gretna Green of Chicago, was
stricken from the map as convenient
marriage resort.
AT high noon, the popular wedding
hour, Harold Healy, the county clerk
of Lake County, abolished the office Of
deputy marriage license clerk at Ham
mond, and aroused the wrath of three
justices of the peace, whose chief in
come was from the marrying business.
Besides the justices, merchants, res
taurateurs, hotel keepers, and cab
drivers in Hammond are up in arms,
and already campaign to recover the
marriage license privilege has begun.
"The people of Chicago were over
playing a good thing,n said Clerk
Healy, yesterday at Crown Point, the
county seat of Lake County, in ex-
planning his action. "They were maxi
ing us look ridiculous down here.
About II o'clock yesterday my deputy
as Hammond called me on the tele-
phone, and said;
'lve run out of license blanks,
and there are more couples coming
from Chicago. Business is booming. In
another hour l won't have blank
Z, in the name of Cupid 1
ans cred, 'how many have you had
today? up to the present time the
number is twenty-threc,' he replied.
Well, that's an outrage | said: Il
guess that | will have TO make it 1913"
for Hammond. You are making it look
ridiculous, Issue no more licenses
81 told him that | would send no
more blanks, and that the office would
be abolished

Dent on McGraw.

Grafton, w. Va, Jan. 5, 1907.
The unjust impression is being made
throughout the state that the Hon. J,
Il. McGraw was untrue to me in the
late congressional election. l desire 10
assure the democracy that there is o
just foundation for such report. Mr..
McGraw stood faithfully by nae from
the beginning to the end and it is no
fault of his that l was not elected.
Senator Elkins deserves full credit for
my defeat for which, no doubt, he will
soon receive his reward from his legis-
lsture. The laborer is worthy of his
hire.
Respectfully,
M. III. Dent.
