the balance OF his life. In spite Of

This section was visited last
night and early this morning by one
of the most severe rain and wind
storms that has come this way in
many day. There was no damage
OF consequence done, but a number
Of trees were blown down, some small
house unrOOfed and blown over. the
Lutheran church Wiro-irOn fence on
Main street laid fat, the rear church
doors blown open, and numerous
other instances Of such minor damage
are reported. The water tank at the
residence Of Mr.. and Mrs. II. G..
Busch, on Main street, came down
| with a crash, but aside from the tank
and tower damage nothing suffered
from the fall Of the tower and tank.
The tower Of the union church in the
Monaghan mill village was blown
down and the church removed from
it's foundations about three feet The
tower, or steeple. is complete wreck.
The power house of the Walhalla
Light and Power Company was again
flooded, but damage was avoided by
the prompt throwing open Of the
food gates, thus permitting the dam
to empty and the water to take it's
natural course, relieving the strain
on the plant. 1t Is pretty certain that
nothing was damaged to such extent
as to necessitate closing down, even
