The awful destruction wrought by
the recent storm was again brought to
mind Monday by tho wagon loads of
hides which were hauled in to marKet
here by E. J. Mc..Pherrin. Mr. Mc
:Pherrin lost nearly if not quite 400
head of fine cattle making him prob
ably the heaviest individual loser in the
county. These hides will net him a snug
sum, but tho cattle from which thoy
were taken would havo been worth at
a conservative Estimate $20,000, and it
is probable that these cattle were
worth mora than that. Stapleton

Y. M. C. A. Campaign
Postponed Till Fall.
The camnaifrn to raise fortv thousand
dollars for a Y. M. C. A. building has
been postponed until October 1st This
action was taken Saturday foronoon
following n meeting o( the eXccutivH
committee which had been appointed
oy tno regular committee lhursdny
evening.
At this committee incotinir held Fri
day evening tho situation was viewed
from all angles; tho probability of
raising the full amount, the ability of
all subscribers to pay promptly when
me installments oecamo due, and the
good-will our people would have for the
association after tho building had been
erected. To start with, the committee
concluded that the present was not an
opportune time for n campaign; busi
ness has been rather quiet tho past
winter and we face, as wo do every
spring, tho uncertainty of a full crop
on the farms. Should crons bo crood
everybody vlll feol much more liberal
next fall, and larger donations can bo
made and paid promptly. Had the nec
essary amount been now subscribed and
a poor crop followed, the collection of
the subscriptions would bit slow and
any attempt to force tho collections
would havo resulted in tho subscribers
becoming "sore," and their support of
tho nsociatlon following tho erection of
tho building would bo either withdrawn
or else so indifferent as to be of little
help.
'lho amount subscribed up to the dnto
of tho commltteo meeting was less
than ton thousand dollnrs. It is true
that a number of those who would givo
from $200 to $500 had not been scon,
and it i possible that by constant drum
ming $30,000 oi porhnps more might
havo been secured, but tho commmltteo
concluded, nnd we bclicvo wisely, that
it was not best to entreat a man to
give more thnn ho desired or felt justi
fied in giving.

Buick Pulls Heavy Freight Cnr.
When the Davii Auto Co. went down

The -100 feet of right-of-way acquired

By tho court decision the Union Pa

Herotoforn much gi this land had boon
