Some Plain Facts.

So far as the ordinary, every.

Water & Light Plant are con.
cerned, the Superintendent Of
same is recognized as 'purchas'
ing agent"
The Mayor and city council are
elected by the people, the Board
of Public Works is elected by
the Mayor and council, and the
Superintendent of the Water &
Light Plant is employed by the
Board of Public Works.
Alderman James T. Porter, is
manager of the Peoples Coal &
Ice Company.
For two years the city through
it's purchasing agent, has been
purchasing it's coal from Alder
man Porter as Manager of the
Peoples Coal & Ice Co., or as a
member of the Paris Coal & Ice
Company.
Alderman R. L. Dunlap, has
been a valued member of the
Board of Public Works.

The recent action of the city
council has thrown good man
and conscientious officer in the
person of Mr.. ]. D, Phillips, out
of employment. He is succeeded
by Mr.. Harry Hancock, who is
also a good man. a good demo-
crat and capable Of rendering
the city efficient service as night
marshal. Now therefore, learn
ing that there is movement on
foot among the business men to
induce the authorities to put on
an extra night man and that
these business men have evinceO
a willingness to pay one-half OF
the salary for this extra maj,
provided Mr.. Phillips is chosen,
we want to say that we are de-
cidedly in favor Of two men AND
we believe the size of Paris now
warrants this step. No one man
can successfully police a town OF
this size after shutdown, and
there are many things which
need regulating, including the

street. Take a good long think

to give to the city of Paris the

A FLOOD OF WEALTH COMING

Crops this year in South Dakota as
viewed upon June Is by the govern
ment observer at Huron were pretty
near perfection. Better than they
were in comparison with the United
States as a whole and better than
they have been on the average for the
last ten years.
Hay couldn't be much better ac-
cOrding to this record, for it is class
ed as 90 per cent perfect while the
rest of the country tallies up to only
S7S per cent. Rye is the same, pas
ture nearly as good and alfalfa bet
ter than the average.
The winter wheat promises nearly
two million bushels, or nearly double
what it was a year ago.
Spring wheat is half greater this
year than it was then. Last year the
crop amounted to 80 500, 200 bushels
and on June this year the estimate
is that the crop will amount to 45,-
800, 900 bushels.
Such prospects are the backbone of
the present optimism which envelopes
this state and which conditions that
may yet arise. cannot altogether dim.

LAID WASTE BY CYCLONE

Tuesday afternoon, d cyclone forming
near Rousseau, this county, swept more
that ferty niles parallel with the North
Western railroad from Blunt to Rec

the ground near Blunt and moved upon
the north portion Of the town in all its
fury, where it demolished more than so
dwellings and barns, fatally injuring
Mrs. Hilda Owen, and seriously injur-
ing l.. Ii. Trask Many farm buildings
north of Blunt were wrecked and much
live stock was killed. People living
along the route OF the storm very gener-
ally sought safety in cellar or cave ard
escaped injury.
The storm passed just north of the
railroad track from Blunt toward Iar-
rold passirsr within few rods of the
latter town, destroying all buildings
in its path, and growing crops were
laid waste.
The twister is said to have broken up
four times between Blunt and High

After skitHng the village of Holabird
the funnel shaped cloud broke up and
again reformed one mile west of High
more; it remained almost stationary for
a few minutes and so soon as the cloud
took on a revolving movement people
sought refuge in cellars. The cloud
crossed the railroad track to the south,
carrying everything in its path before
it; passing no more than two rods south
of the waterworks standpipe.

of Highmore, was brought to town i'm
