ELECTRICAL STORM AND RAIN
CAUSE DAMAGE

Mrs. Amelia Fa1k of this city was
given a severe shock from fash of
lightning during the storm Wednesday
afternoon. She was walking on First
street northeast at the time and people
living near took her into their home.
She was not injured but remained da7ed
for time.
The heavy downpour of rain again
resulted in water backing up in base
nents in a number of down town build
inTs. The owners Of the buildings be-
lieve that this is due to the fact that
the surface water is drained into the
sewers, as this trouble was not exper-
fenced previous to installation of the
numerous storm water inlets in connec-
ton with the paving.
A transformer located in back of the
American Grocery Company 3 store was
put out of commission. Clouds of smoke
arose from the transformer and for a
time this created some excitement as it
was thought that the building was on
fire. The entire electric light and pow
er service on the East side was put out
of commission and it was an hour be-
fore it could be repaired.

READ THE PROPOSED CoNSTTTU
TIONAL AMENDMENTS

Attention of voters is called to the
proposed amendments to the state con-
stitution, published in this issue of the
Herald. These are to be voted upon
.t the coming general election. Amend
ment No. ! is perhaps the most i'm
portant as it relates to the establish
ing Of trunk system of hard sur
faced highways in Minnesota. Amend
1nert No. should also be of interest
to the public, particularly y residents Of
cities and villages, as it will mako
it possible for municipalities to assess
the cost Of permanent improvements
abutting or affecting railway property.
against the railway companies. At
present this cannot be done and the
citizens must bear the entire cost of
any improvements along railway prop
erty, such as paving, sidewalks, sewer,
etc. No. 2 is to extend the term of
Office of judge Of probate to four years
as in the case of other county offices.
