Ho rausookod tho ofllco with all tho

pecial attention to dotalls was his hobby
Not a drawer In tho ofllco not a shelf
nor a pigeon hole remained uuuiolostod
by tho man who won searching for gold
His work at tho safo was mlsornbly un

From Tuesdays Dally
Itov August King of Hadar diet
suddonly this morning at tho Union
dopot this city whilo ou his way to
Winona Minn to attend n sosslou of
tho Lutheran synod aud to visit relatives
and frieuds for n period of four weeks
Mr Klug camo from Hadar ou tho 0
oclook train over the F E M V
and although ho had 20 miuutes to make
the transfer to tho O St P M O
train ho saw it standing at the dopot
and bocamo fearful that It would leavo
him behind He thereforo ran down
tho track toward tho awaiting train
The exertion proved too much for him
and he fell before reaching the depot
He succeeded in gottiug up aud started
ou toward the train bat fell again and
failing to ariso bystanders went to his
assistance Dr Tashjoan was summoned
but could do nothing for the stricken
man as death took place when he fell
the second time
The body was taken to tho undertak
ing rooms of Sessions Bll whoro it
was prepared for interment and the
family and friends at Hadar were noti
fied
Rev Mr Klug was 72 years of ago
and leaves a family of two sons and
four daughters his wife having died
daring last winter One son is living
in Minnesota and the other was with
the family nt Hadar One of the
daughters resides at Riodsville Wis
aud three remain at home Two of the
daughters arrived from Hadar to care
for the remains and make arrangements
for the funeral
The deceased was one of the best
kuown Lutheran ministers in this
section of the state aud was highly re
spected by all with whom he came in
contact that respect deepening into
love on the part of those with whom he
was more intimntely acquainted The
best part of his life has been devoted to
the Lutheran ministry and for a num
ber of years he has faithfully served the
church at Hadar which has grown and
prospered under his guidance News of
his decease will be received with sincere
regret by members of his cougregation
and all his acquaintances and sincere
sympathy will be felt for the children
who have thus suddenly been bereft of
their remaining parent
ANOTHER STORM
Last Nlfihs Kndeavor Was to Show New
Tricks and Features
From Tuesdays Daily
Although the weather bureau foretold
fair weather for yesterday the bureau of
last resort chose not to vary the monot
ony and last evening a storm organized
for business that made a supreme effort
to show preceding storms a few new
curves on noise moisture aud variety of
flourishes which were not down on their
programs To start with the storm was
almost entirely electric and tho light
ning and thunder vied with each other
to see which was entitled to the center
of the stage About G oclook the moist
ure began to precipitate and kept it up
during the greater part of the night and
when the show ended this morning 140
inches were added to the total precipita
tion The average rainfall in June is
393 and this month has thus far ex
ceeded such average by 137 530 inches
being recorded up to 8 oclock this
morning the 18th If the activity con
tinues during the balance of the mouth
it will bo a phenomenally wet June
The average rainfall at Norfolk for the
post ten years was 2151 inches so that
June has thus far furnished one fourth
of the average precipitation for a year
The amount is more than twice that
recorded during Juno of a year ago when
239 inches was the record The inten
tion may bo but to average the thing up
however as May last year furnished
4 29 of rainfall while this year but 2 19
inches were recorded during that month
South of town in the neighborhood of
Burrell Reeds farm last nights storm
proved quite disasterous to crops con
siderable hail falling which drove the
small grain and other produce into the
tzround and resulted in a large amount
of damage
A report was current that Pierce has
been flooded by the high water but it is
unsubstantiated Corporation gulch
was active but it didnt rise high enough
to overflow and do any damage Light
ning struck the telephone cable in front
of the Trocodero but did no damage
and light shocks wero notlcible in other
parts of the city but no damage there
from has been reported It was a good
vigorous storm considered from all
points but there have been times when
it would have proven more welcome

KNOX COUNTY SEAT
f

Tho people of Creighton celobratod
tho county seat victory by going to tho
slto of tho proposed town Farmor Olty
orootiug a miniature court house float
lug tho stars and stripes and in spoooh
making It was proposed to colebrato
tho Fourth of July at tho same placo
tho proposal mot with unanimous ap
proval and a committoo on armugo
meuts was appointed
Tho Mall has this to say rogardlng tho
uew county seat
Farmer City tho now couuty seat
is situated within about two miles of
the geographical center of tho oonuty
on tho banks of tho Bazllo croek 10
mile northeast from Creighton 12
from Bloomfield nud about 17 milos
from Niobrara Tho site Is a pic
turesque ono tho bluffs on tho oppo
site sido of tho valley affording scenery
pleasing to the artistio eye Tho loca
tion consists of three beuohos or ter
races that section of tho slto In tho
center bench being intended for tho
business portion of the new eldorado
Back of the site on the oast tho bluffs
overlook tho valley from the top of
which a fine view of the surrounding
country oan bo seoured dotted with
homes of happy progressive farmers
where cattle can be seen grazing on tho
hill sidos and tho waving groin and
growing corn iu the valley tho work
of the brown and hardened hands of
honest toll nro the advance agents of
the prosperity Knox county will exper
ience when the harvest is passed and
the summer ended No lovelier or
more convenient location for tho cap
ital of Knox county could have been
selected Farmer City was surveyed
and platted about one year ago Tho
land on which the site is located is
owned by James Lowell and Wm
Wlshendorf Iu order to ralso tho
necessary funds to defray legitimate
expenses in the contest for relocation
every alternate lot was sold and deeds
for the some held in trust by a com
mittee of responsible men it being
understood that as soon as the lots
held in trust are disposed of at auction
or private sale and the proceeds paid
to those who advanced the cash to carry
on the campaign the owners of tho
site will proceed to dispose of tho lots
at a leasounble figure to all who desire
to purchase It is expected that Farmer
Ulty will experience a boom as soon
as ldts are placed on the market and
building commences For the past six
months men have visited the new site
almost dally looking the country over
with a view of engaging in business
That Farmer City has a bright and
prosperous future there is no doubt
There will be a court house a building
boom and then the town will settle
down to a slower pace and natural
growth
