A Damaging Hail Storm.
'rhe hail and wind storm last
'l'hursday afternoon was one of
the mo t severe and damag1t1g
that has ever visited this county.
It is reported to have started In
the northwest part of the county
and. averaging a width of about
eight miles , took a southeast
course , extending far into Buffalo
count } ' .
, Fanl1 rs in the centre of'the
path report total loss and those
on the edges apartial loss , but
the territory covered is a large
area and the tptal loss will be
great.
In Broken Bow the rain fell
in torrents for about an hour ,
accompanied by spme hait , but
not enough to do any datpage to
the crops in this immediate
vici ni tr.
The Old , Old Stpry.
Recollections nearly half a
century old were brought b k
this week when a small mau ,
nearly seventy ytars old , and on
the verge of delerium tremens ,
was given a fifteen day sentence
in Washington. 'fhe man was. .
nonc pt er than a White Hp"se
clerk of Abraham Lincoln who
tool < probably the last official
corresponclcnce of thc martyred
! Prcsident on the ! i'riday of his
assassination. He is the author
1 of a biography of Lincoln and
several stories of reminiscence ,
i but neither his former associ aliens -
lions nor his works were able to
! save him at the bar of justice.
The 190G Corn Crop.
Carr & Co. , Chicago com mis-
'sion merchants , sends the Ihwun-
I.ICA'N some ad vice in regard to
corn , as follows :
Just at this junction it is very
easy to g t wrong in corn. We
say this e a" e it is pure1y a
I weathcr JPf.rl ! < ct , and no one
. needs t.o QC toIrI how quickly the
I map will jhange.
Drought extends from Ohio to
the Colorado line. There is no
i damage to the growing crop as
) 'et. Anothcr week wi1l bring
. . that if general raius do not comc ,
'l'he cash orn situation is very
strong with prices advancing
here and in the hig markets of
the soutwest. Chicago is shipping -
ping out about three hushels for
cvery one received. Should the
drought continue there will be
bu t one side to the market and
that will make money for buyers
vcry fast. At the first sign of
general ralUS holders of corn
should sell quickly. Westerl1
farmers are more generally
practicing direct shipments 01
their grain to the primary mar.
ket , thus saving their home buy ,
er's profits.
Strayed or Stolen.
White pointer bitch , wilt
black face and cars , four year !
old. Liberal reward offered.
