Heavy Hail Storm.
The Audubon Republican says:
"On Saturday evening about S
O'Clock we had a little furry
here but no rain. Our Cannon
correspondent reports a little
hail storm in that section. Des
Moines was hit with more or
less violence and frnm Indiana
la to Charlton they had the
worst storm of the kind in fifty
four years. 1t covered a strip
from one to three miles wide,
destroying all the corn in its
path"
B. Branson handed us the
following clipping, showing
that there is some financial re-
turns from prunes. This was
taken from a Payette, Qdaho,)
paper:
N. A. Jacobsen received the
returns the latter part of last
week from the first car of
prunes sent out by him this
season. The car sold for ST.
297, netting Mr.. Jacobsen ST.
S0S. Guess that's going some
and will probably make a few
of our eastern friends take no
tice of the opportunities and adj
vantages existing in this sec
ton. OF course no one expects
the price to remain so high,
but there will be some good
money made in prunes this
year and as conditions improve
and transportation facilities
get better there will be more
money in sight for the prune
lgroWer.
The largest exhibit ever
placed at any fair in Iowa is
that placed on exhibition at
the Sioux City fair from the

|day morning. The display is
as follows; 80 plates of pears,
go plates of peaches, IL varie-
ties of crabs, 10 varieties of
grapes, Is varities of plums.
1t makes US feel proud of the
county we live in when we
live in when we know that no
other county in the state can
do as we'll. Make a visit to
their orchad and be convinced
that Iowa is a good fruit state,
and that Harrison county is
second to none in this direc-
ton. - Mondamin Enterprise.
The Nonpareil is authority
for the statement that N. E.
Kendall of Abba, Iowa, speaker
of the house of representatives
last winter, has announced his
candidacy for congress from
the Sixth district, and coupled
with the announcement comes
a statement from Congressman
Lucy that he will not again be
a candidate for congress. This
clears the atmosphere a little
in the Sixth district and may be
a forerunner to an announce
ment from Major Lucy that he
will be acandidate for governor.
In the Harrison county dis
trict court William Martins
brings suit against the Western
Dredging company, Ed Phelan,
NJ. Shirley, Ed Callahan, Samuel
Katz and r. S. Morrow in the
sum of $3.50. He claims that
he was the tenant of a farm
along the drainage ditch in
District No. l of the Harrison
P~ottawattamie ditch, and that
as a result of an overflow dur
ing the year 1906 he suffered a
loss of S1,795 by the destroying
of eighty acres in pasture,
twenty acres in wheat and
twenty acres in corn, the dam
age being unusual and caused
directly by work on the ditch.
In a companion suit j. j. Wise

destroying of twenty acres of
pasture and fifty acres of hay
in the field.
The prayer of the Harrison
county farmer is for a pleasant
