um had listened to a flow OF ora
tory in nominating and seconding
in which the dominant
note expressed was the belief that
victory would come to the new
party in November. Raymond
Robbins, Of Illinois, pledged a
100, 900 majority for the national
ticket in Illinois; and Clifford Pin
chot predicted 900, 900 majority
for Colonel Roosevelt and Cover
nor Johnson in his home state OF
Pennsylvania. These statements
were cheered to the echo.
The party formally christened it
self "The Progressive Party,
leaving off the prefix "national, I"
by which it heretofore has been
known, but provision was made tor
the recognition of "real" progress
sives in any of.the states, by what
ever name they should be locally
designated because OF state laws.

Water Works

We understand that the settling
basins and the pump house Of the
water works system have been re-
paired and that the basins will now
hold water. 1t is reported that they
have already turned the water into
the big main coming down the hill
southeast of town, but that the wa
ter disappe ars before it reaches
town, indicating that there is blg
leak in the main at some point. Ii
is expected that all leaks in the
mains will be repaired in the near
future and that the construction
company will be ready to try out
the system soon.
Ii has been just about year now
siuce the contract for the system
was let, and as the water works
was to have been completed within
I2o days after the contract was let,
a good many citizens are anxiously
awaiting the completion OF the
works. 1t will be interesting also
to note whether the old location OF
the settling basins in the clay bank
near the river will be accepted by
the city.

HAILED OUT
Storm North Of Culberts0n Last
Sunday Evening Does Con.
siderable Damage


country from west to east last Sun
day evening about E o'clock. 1t
originated in the southern part OF
the Russian settlement in Town
ship 2o NJ, Range 81 East and
travelled in an easterly direction
over T. 29 N f, r. S. where it was
most violent and did the most
damage. The storm laid waste
strip Of land about three fourths OF
a nile wide and perhaps iour miles
long, petering out in Dane Valley
after damaging Jules Grele to some
extent.
We secured a partial list OF the
farmers in the path OF the storm
who sustained a total or partial
loss, although we did not get all
of them by any means. The big
Jarvis farm was pretty severely hit
Billy Jarvis losing 100 acres and
Chas. Jarvis about the same, with
no insurance. John and Ed. Hops
will not have much left at harvest
time !. M. Fleischman, A. A.
Msjor, Paul Wagner, Chas. Thorp,
Tucker Moore, Mr.. Leuf, Otto
Waldo, Martin Olson, Andrew An
derson and George Hagardone
were all more or less damaged,
some of them being cleaned up
entireiy, with little insurance
here and there, but none with in
surance OF more than five dollars
per acre.
| Over in Dane Valley Rev. Brede
| Iohansen's place got hit pretty
hard and his neighbors, VIM.
Swanke and l.. l.. Fryhling were
damaged to a great extent. Neils
Nelson. just north of Rev. ohan
sens. was not damaged to speak
Of and Asmus Thomsen's place
was south or the hail district.
After passing Swanke's and l..
L. Fryhling's the storm seemed to
skip over to Jules Grele's place
and then seemed to peter out as
far as hail was concerned. Water
fell in torrents both in the hail dis
trict and on each side of il. Many
fields were laid fiat with wind and
, rain, but in most of these fields
' the grain has raised up again and
the damage will be slight.
4 There was hail storm last year
J which swept through this same
country running from further north
at the start and going in a south.
I easterly direction, while this storm
travelled ALMOST directly east.
( Some OF the men damaged this
year were IN the path OF the storm
I last year.
1t certainly is hard luck for the
farmers who had bumper crops al
most ready for the binder, to have
I the crop harvested by hail instead
and all their hopes dashed to the
ground in the course of few min
, utes time. Many Of those damaged
were in town Monday. The,

CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY
ADDS TWO new COURSES

Because of the ever increasing number
Of young men who want q college train.
ing without spending their time studying
Latin and Greek the authorities OF
Creighton university have constructed q
special course which will omit thess
studies. The completion OF the new course
OF studies will entitle the student to thu
degree OF bachelor Of science instead ol
bachelor of arts. The essential differerc.
in the two courses is the substitution IL
the new course OF German and French
for Latin and Greek.
The degree OF bachelor Of arts will b,
conferred for practically the same course
as now prevails and the new course is by
no means change in the old, but rather
an addition.
A third course, which will entitle the
student to the degree of bachelor Of
literature. will also be started next year
This course omits Greek and Latin, sub.
stituting modern language, and drops
all science and mathematics. 1t spend
four years on the classics OF literature
and aims at an advanced development ir
English.
Perhaps the most radical change in the
course at Creighton is the addition Of
one year to the college course. making
It four years instead Of three. The high
school course remains the same. four
years
The student who enters Creighton uni.
versity hereafter will have his choice OF
the three courses. Their difference ID
