STORM
Visited This Valley on Thursday Morn
ing Much Damage Done at Merrill

perfect spring days as one could wish
for. Both were very warm, the
former registering 81 degrees above
and the latter CO. Wednesday after
noon, between and O'Clock, dark
clouds came up and rain fell during
the night. Early Thursday morning
a thunder storm, of which one some
times reads about, but seldom sees,
visited the entire Wisconsin river
valley, SO it seems. At Wausau nearly
an inch of rain fell during the night
and with the storm of Thursday
morning. The electrical display and
accompanying thunder was some
thing terrific, and the downpour OF
rain, though brief, reminded us of the
storm of July, 1912. No damage was
done in Wausau by the rain, but the
electricity went after things ina some
what vicious manner VIM. Haupt's
barn was touched by bolt, also the
home of Marie Braatz on North Third
street. Quite number of telephones
were burned out, which were readily
repaired.
The river raised two feet, and while
it is high stage, still it is two feet
below the flood mark.
AT Merrill the lightning struck
some ten residences any several busi-
ness places. No one was killed, but
several were stunned and wounded.
The W. d. Martin home was struck
and destroyed by fiIe, and Mrs. Chas.
Aronson rendered unconscious by a
bolt.
There were several buildings struck
in Stevens Point, but no one injured.

shape of a cloudburst and damage
was done to the extent of $20O,000

DEATH OF MRS. D. N. MAXSON.

Mrs. d. NJ. Maxson passed away at
her home in this city, 8l2 Mclndoe
street, on Wednesday evening, May
18th, 1913, at $50 O'Clock in the list
year of her age. She had long been
in poor health but did not give up
until last September; since that time
she had gradually weakened and for
the past few weeks the Angel OF
Death had hoyered very near TO her,
but her unusual vitality assisted by
the loving attention of her husband
and children, her days on earth were
heightened quite materially. Her
children were all with her and had
been for two weeks prior to her death.
For the past twelve years her home
had been in Wausau and her ever
kind and loyable disposition had
made for her many warm and lasting
friendships.
Caroline r., daughter of George and
Sarah Silyerthorn, was born near
Toronto, Canada, Sept. 16, 1912. Her
parents migrated to Wisconsin in
lS43 or 1874, settling in the town of
Oakland, Jefferson county, where she
grew to womanhood. She was a stu
dent at Albion Academy for num-
Der of years and successfully taught
in country schools for several terms.
She was united in marriage to ID. NJ.
MaXson of Albion, Wis, October 81,
1866, and resided there four years, then
in Batavia, H., for sixteen years
when the family removed to Esmond,
S. OAK, residing there until October,
1895, when they returned to Wiscon-
sin, finally locating in Wausau in
1901, which has since been her home.
Besides her husband she leaves
four children, Edward W., of STRAIT
ford, Wis; Geo. NJ, of Wauwautosa,
Wis; Mrs. Frank A. Even, Shell,
Wyoming, and Mrs. G. II. Wer-
helm, Wauwautosa, besides Prem
tice c., the youngest child, who
is buried at Esmond, S. Dakota.
She also leaves one brother, Judge
w. G. Silverthorn of this city,
and one sister, Mrs. Robert Robert
son, of Fort Atkinson, Wis, besides
many kind and loving friends in
Wausau. She was an honored mem-
Der of the M. E. church for many
years and will be greatly missed, but
the loss to her friends and family is
to her gain for it is freedom from sick
ness, pain and trouble.
Short funeral services where held at
the home Friday at ten O'Clock a. m.,
the Rev. Richard Evans of the First
M. e. church officiating and at noon
the remains were taken to Oakland,
Jefferson county, and inferred in a
cemetery on the old home farm on
which she grew to womanhood and
from which she was married. The
beautiful floral offerings bore eloquent
testimony to the place she held in
the affections and esteem of those
who knew her best.
The following old friends and neigh
bors acted as pail bearers: A. A.

CAPT. COOLEY SAYS
.U|NTAH COUNTRY IS
FAST DEVELOPING

Captain NJ w. Cooley. the general
manager OF the Uintah Railway Co,
was Il visitor In the city today on busi-
ness matters, he having just returned
from Philadelphia.
To an inquiry from n Sentinel re-
porter as to eastern business condi-
tions the captain stated as follows:
Il only had a few days stay in
Philadelphia, consequently l had but
little time to discuss only such matters
as pertained to my visit. but from
what l CLEANED in conversation with
those whom ! came in contact with, l
may say that the feeling of unrest
seems to be dying out and business
men in general have made up their
minds to do the best they can under
the new tariff law and to try IT out.
The currency bill Is also receiving
great attention and have no doubt it
will be settled during the present con-
gress.
Crop conditions are favorable ex-
cept in western Kansas and Nebraska
insofar as l could learn.
our asphalt and Gilsonite business
Is on the improve as our company is
now operating a well on the Isle of
Trinidad that IL flowing 10000 bar
rolls daily OF heavy asphaltic oil"
To question from The Sentinel
man as to conditions in the Uintah
country the captain said: That while
the gilsonite business had been quiet
1t was now on the improve and that
the agricultural affairs of VernaI and
Duchesne communities were greatly on
tho improve"
We have great country over there
In northeastern Utah" said the captain,
and the people of Grand Junction
should get busy and capture it. Our
people are doing all they can to de-
Velop Its resources and your citizens
should help u.s."
Captain Cooley possesses one of those
strong personalities that makes one
feel that he is in earnest in every
move.

A BIG BOOST
FOR THIS CITY

The Sentinel:
There is tax measure up at the
present time providing for levy of
9s of mill to support the Chamber
of Commerce. 1t is generally under
stood that this will be largely spent
in advertising.
Now there is another proposition
on the ballot which would give
Grand Junction more advertising
and FREE advertising at that-than
all the Chamber of Commerce appro-
priations We could afford for 20 years
to come.
refer to the Take-All ordinance,
which will give us municipal owner
ship of ALL our public utilities.
1t will not give us fame to own
only the water, gas and electric
plants. There are hundreds of cities
who own these. But there is ONLY
ONE CITY IN THE UNITED STATES
WHICH OWNS ALL ITS UTILITIES,
INCLUDING THE ELECTRIC AND
lNTERURBAN RAILROADS, and
that is Monroe, La.
Monroe has made a success of
COMPLETE municipal ownership,
according to the Mayors statement,
and has received national publicity
because the city is ENTIRELY FREE
from corporation domination.
Think back of all the thriving
Canadian cities you have ever heard
of. Don't they all tell of the NUM-
ClPALLY OWNED STREET RAIL-
WAYS? Is not municipal ownership
of ALL their public utilities one of
their chief claims to fame?
Then WHY should Grand Junction
vote for only PARTIAL municipal
ownership, which wo Id have NO
advertising value, when we can Just
as well vote for TOTAL municipal
ownership, and become one of the
ONLY TWO CITIES IN THE UNIT
ED STATES OWNING ALL THEIR
PUBLIC UTILITIES?
Every citizen who has any PRIDE
in Grand Junction, every citizen who
is looking for our future fame and
welfare, every citizen who wants to
see Grand Junction run BY ITS OWN
PEOPLE, and not by outside capital
lists whose only interest is dividends,
should vote for the TAKE-ALL ordi-
nance, so that we will have our fu-
ture in OUR OWN hands, and not be
dependent on the whim of some out
side corporation to get improvements
and extensions which will build up
the city and attract more people to
this valley, which should be known
worldwide as the GARDEN SPOT
OF THE WEST, and the home of a
people who can RUN THEIR OWN
BUSINESS without the help of divi-
dend-grasping corporations.
