Last Friday the worst wind and
dirt storm ever. seen here ragged all
the south, blew fifty miles an hour
all day long, carrying sand, dust anil
dirt along with it and making life
out of doors we'll nigh uncomfortable.
Human beings and horses found it
an exceedingly difficult matter to pro-
coed against the storm. Store build
ings were invaded by the dirt and
stocks of goods were more or less
damaged Rural mail carriers came
home with faces so covered with dirt
that their friends scarcely recognized
them
Lemlze, the Variety Store man, pre-
pared a lively advertisement for this
weeks issue and left it with the pub
Usher of The Herald at his room in
the hotel Saturday evening. Owing
to the confusion attendant upon sick
ness in the publishers family, the
"copy" was mislaid and thus far has
not been found Mr. Lemke, who
vent to Little Falls to remove his
family and household goods, was in
formed of the fact Tuesday and bur.
riedly prepared new but smaller adj
vertisement and matted it that same
afternoon It's the Heralds fault
that the Variety Store is not more
deliberately represented in these col
umns this week, but Manager Lemke
has again proven himself to be a first
class hustler just the same. Better
keep your eye open for his announce
ment in the big Easter number next
week
Wilson Brothers, whose grocery
stock was ruined by fire last week
Wednesday morning, will probably
start up again as soon as the store
room which they occupied is repair
ed. The entire ceiling will have to-
be replaced and other extensive re-
pairs made This work will take
some time, SO that it is not probable
that the Wilson's will be able to re
open before the first of May. The
insurance adjusters have not CON-
Dleted their work on the loss on gro
Gerry stock. The losses on the build
ing have been adjusted and Mrs.
Beidelman will have the structure re-
paired at as early date as possible.
The work of destruction was COM
plete so far as the grocery stock was
concerned. The canned goods were
ruined by the heat which melted the
solder, thus causing the covers to
come off. The Wilson's had fair
amount of insurance, though not so
large as it might have been. How
ever. they will be able to start up
again without any trouble
Patents Reach Million.
The one-millionth United States

Just about 121 years after the nrst
enc was issued. in July. 1890.
