The States Metropolis Experiences
Big Wind That Does Great
Damags.

The greatest wind. rain and hail
storm that ever yisitel Fargo occurred
about $ O'Clock Saturday morning,
and for time shrohd Of night lay
upon the city and the wind sang a
song of destruction which put thrills
In almost everybody's spinal column.
The rain came down in torrents,
and the hail, large in size, was blown
with terrific force against the windows,
shattering them and doing great dam
age to goods In the stores and inside
OF residences. Many trees were blown
down, signs went smash, the smoke
stack of the mill toppled over, and one
or two houses we're lifted from their
foundations and partially wrecked.
The sewers quickly filled with the
food and backed up, into the cellars
of the stores, causing great loss; small
bridges toppled over. The wind came
from five different directions, and a
cyclone was narrowly averted, the
weather bureau people say.

GOOD ROADS.
They Are dreat Factor in Building
Up q Town.

Country merchants do not fully APP
precate what an important part good
roads play in their business. Let any
town improve its roads out tive or six
miles and il will draw trade that
hitherto had gone 10 neighb0ring
towns. People move along the line Of
least resistance. y farmer will travel
five miles over 20 ID roads rather than
three miles over bad ones: he can
go quicker aud haul twice the load.
The following from one of our eX
changes is significant:
Zone OF the towns in the northern
part OF the State a few years ago dis
covered that trade was leaving it and
the farmers were marketing their
grain al Another town, making their
deposits In the banks of the other
town and largely buying their supplies
there. The people OF the losing town
began an investigation as tD lle cause
and found the merchants of the town
which was securing the trade we're
not able TO offer bargains equal TO the
other Tie price OF grain was no bet
ter, the banks were no safer and the
distance was against the successful
town When these conditions were
found people began u look elsewhere
for the cause. Inquiry among farmers
disclosed the fact that because Of the
bad condition OF the roads Leading 70
the unsupported town the farmers
could haul only three -fourtbs as much
of q load to IL AS T., the other town,
consequently it lost It's trade. =
There is no fact established in busi-
ness that is any more certain than
that 3od roads help trade. They
shorten distances to market, promote
business and enhance values and make
| life better worth living Good roads
are an Indication OF the intelligence,
prosperity and industry II any com
munity

Russia's Secret Work Stolen.

New York, July 19.-The head Off
cial of the czar's secret service bu-
reau at st. Petersburg has deserted
his post and fled to Paris with all
the books, containing data as to
government spies and their secret
information, where he has Joined the
Russian revolutionists. Word to this
effect was received by DR.. Paul s..
Kaplan, chairman Of the Russian rev.
olutionists, in this city. DR.. Kaplan
said: "The acquisition of the head
Of the secret service bureau is one Of
the most important victories We ever
have achieved, as 1t provides us in
formation concerning all the Pussian
spies, both in this country and
abroad. The entire secret force of
the car was employed by this man
personally. Hence, he knows them
all, and Is able to keep us posted as
to their movements. The actions Of
the Russian government through It's
secret service will henceforth be an
open book to u.s."

To be systematic there must be or
ganization.' The ideal condition Is
to have the system Of public schools
organized so that 1t will be one great
machine, with the Superintendent at
the head, drawing the teachers to-
gether and inspiring them by his su-
perior mental training and strong
personality. But no such condition
Will prevail so long as our people are
bent on the search for gold. The
whole situation, he said, Is summed
up by the old poet when he said:
iii fares the land, to fastening Ills
a prey, .,.
Where wealth accumulates and men
decay;
Princes and lords may flourish or
may fade, ",.
A breath can make them as a breath
has made,
But bold peasantry, their country's
pride,
When once destroyed, can never be
supplied"
j. S. Colley
said that he was glad to be with the
people and to account to them for his
conduct of the office Of Superinten-
dent OF Education when he held it..
All the other candidates, he said,
were drifting into personalities, and
1T looked as IL he must do the same.
(Here Mr.. Colley severely criticised
J. l.. McWhorter for saying that first
grade certificates had been granted
to persons for political pull.)
The Candidates for Clerk,
John F. Craig, DR.. G. G. Probst, G..
r. D. Burns; and candidates for
Auditor, T. M. Elrod and r. w.
Grubbs; w. H. Cole, E. P. Wood and
j. r. Kay then spoke.
The hour Of 1890 o'clock had ar
rived, and the ladies were seen
spreading on the table a bounteous
repast, and all eyes turned thereto.
A table one hundred feet long was
loaded with the very best of the
land. Breads, chicken, beef, ham,
cakes, pies and fruits of all kind
were on the table in bounteous sup
ply. Something like twelve or If
teen hundred people were there for
dinner and were filled to overfiOwing z,
and many baskets of fragments were
taken up. The beautiful bellies of
Tokeena served the people from this
table and all felt good.
After dinner the crowd reassem-
bled at the stand and were addressed
by the candidates for the House of
Representatives.
We all left wishing that many more
as pleasant occasions mly return. We
all say, well done, prosperous To-
keena. Thanks to you for your hos
pitality and kind treatment.
