- A. J. Mitchall, of St. Louis, the
commercial embassador who visits
North Platte about twice a year, is
in town to-day, taking orders from
our merchants and meeting acquain
tances. John "Woods, who lives about
six miles south of town, reports
that the storm last evening iblew
down his windmill and demolished
his outbuildings, leaving nothing
. standing but his house.
The rain last evening inter
fered with the lawn fete at the
court house park, and a change o
base was made to Keith's hall,
where a fair sized crowd assembled.
- This is the second time rain has
inlerferred with fetes given -by the
ladies of the irrigation fair.
Grindstones at the Wilcox Dept.
, Store.
The maximum temperature at
this point yesterday was 36 degrees
and the precipitation amounted to
fifty-three one hundredths of an
inch. - One year ago yesterday the
maximum temperature was 84 de
grees and no precipitation. The
forecast for to-day and to-morrow
is generally fair.
me county commissioners
finished allowing claims ajrainst
the county yesterday. Warrants
-to tlie amount ot 5?44.40o.30 were
drawn on the general fund, $4,410.50
on the road fund and 5719 on the
bridge fund, a total of $27,535.00
nie general iuna ievv or bvo is
practically exausted, but all bills
on file up to date have been allowed.
The amount of the bills carried
over from 1895 was between four
and five thousand dollars. The
commissioners are out in the coun
try to-aay inspectinsf ondsres over

The meeting of the Bryan free
silver club at the court house last
evening was very slimly attended
and devoid of interest. Several
present were called upon for
speeches, but we are informed none
of them complied with the request.
An amalgamation of the populist
silver club and the Bryan silver
club was attempted, but without
effect. The effort to substitute
Sewall for Watson on the populist
presidental ticket is making some
of the middle-of-the-road populists
in the city real angry, and they
positively refuse to be swallowed
up entirely by the silver democrats.
It is likely that the populist free
silver club will continue its indi
vidual existence.
iESTBUCTIVfi STORM AT SUTHERLAND.
Paul G. Meyer, who returned
from Sutherland this morning, re
ports a heavy and destructive hail
storm in that vicinity last evening.
The storm, which traveled in a
southeasterly direction, struck the
irrigated district at the head of the
North Platte canal and covered a
territory about two miles in width.
The hail ranged in size from that
of a grape to a lien's egg, and all
corn in the track of the storm was
practically destroyed. Mr. Meyer
drove over the devastated country
ana estimates that between 5,009
and 6,000 acres of magnificent corn
was rendered almost valueless.
The fall ot rain was very heavy,
and. the water from the hills broke
open the banks of the Hunter &
Neilson ditch in twenty places. In
Mr. Meyers opinion it was one of
the heaviest storms that ever
visited this section of the state.
