Paris has just been passing through
one of the most disastrous floods
known to modern history Long con-
tinued rains raised the waters in the
river Seine to an extent that people
all along the streets in the vicinity of
the river were forced into the upper
stories of buildings or driven out
entirely, shut off from means of egress
as we'll as from food and heat and the
utmost suffering and privation, as
we'll as many deaths were result
The bursting of sewers played havoc
with the foundations of buildings,
many streets collapsed, converts and
other public buildings we're convert
ed into hospitals, and hunger and
disease are rampant. As comparison
1t may be stated that the damages
from the flood. which has now subsid-
ed, is placed at two hundred million
dollars, while that of the great
Galveston food in 1900 was twenty
millions and the Johnstown flood in
1889 ten millions.

OUR NEW SERIAL STORY.

During the past two years The
Herald has published two serial
stories that have been received with
much favor and interest, namely
The Fighting Chance" by Robert
W. Chambers, and Whispering
Smith, by Frank Spearman. Both
were mastery eces in their class and
each absolutely different from the
other in their nature.
We have now purchased the rights
for Grant county to publish a new
story which in book form is proving
one of the very best sellers upon news
stands, viz. ''The Little Brown
Jug at Kildare, by Meredith Nichol-
son.
This is not an Irish story, as might
be inferred tom the title, the Kildare
in this instance being the name of a
small village in the mountains of
North Carolina. where an illicit
mandatory of 'moonshine' whiskey
is located
In the opening chapters of the story
Tommy Ardmore, young New York
millionaire who is owner of a great
estate in North Carolina. reaches
Atlanta in search of pretty girl who
had winked at him as their trains
stood opposite each other two days be-
fore. his old friend and companion,
Henry Griswold, professor of ad-
miraIty in the University of Virginia,
on his way north FROM Atlanta, is
mistaken for Gov. Osborne, of South
Carolina, and is threatened with harm
if he causes the arrest of Bill Apple
weight. border line desperate, over
whom Gov. Osborne of South Carolina
and Gov. DangerfeId. of North
Carolina are at outs. Griswold stops
at Columbia s. c., to warn Osborne.
He finds the governor absent and only
his daughter Barbara at the old
capitol, and at her request remains
that his services may be- at her re-
quest in the absence of her father.
The series of events growing out
of the affair are of absorbing interest
and the story is one which will be
anxiously waited for week by week
during its continuance in our col :
umns. It will be commenced very
soon.

reason tc fear that such move will
result in great injury to the wrong
men-namely the farmers
Take as an illustration this one
staple of meats. The meat trust,
represents the fellows blamed

is claimed that in Kansas City one
big packing house alone has 5000
beef carcasses in cold storage for
precisely such an emergency and that
the meat it is now selling was placed
in storage almost two years ago. The
boycott will most probably result in
hammering down the prices of cattle
in the hands of the farmers, which is
the very thing the packers want. as
they can then buy it just that much
cheaper and make their profits larger.

the entire country is centered upon
this subject, the Investigations AMI

pertaining to the situation that they
may be permanently and properly re-

Obituary--Hunter,

Mr.. John Hunter was born in Nor
ris Forks. Clinton County. New York,
August 9Th, 1923. He came to Wis
consin in 1856 and settled in the town
CT Clifton, Grant county in 1858,

Mr. Hunter had been an invalid for
over two years, but bore up wonder
fully under the gentle care and atten-
tion of his family whose every thought
was for their husband and father s
comfort while he remained with them
on earth.
He was a good moral man whose
word was as good as his bond, always
cheerful and good to his family.
Long before his death he sang an old
favorite song, ''Blest Be the Tie That
Binds. - He became converted and
gave his soul to the one who loves it,
and passed away in a peaceful sleep
to the home prepared for him on the
other shore.
You are not alone in your grief
dear friends; others mourn with you.
"And they give in tears and pain,
The flowers they some did love
They knew they would find them all again,
In the fields of light above"
He was laid to rest in Rock church
cemetery, Tuesday January 25th.
Services were conducted by Rev
Shepherd of Prairie du Chen, assisted
by Rev. Birrell.
