quite a vigorous storm of thunder aud
lightning developed , with a light shower
of ruin. This shower , coming through
the dust ludou air , was practically turued
to mud and places that were
white and clean ou which it fell were
spattered with dirty spots. About the
the some time the wind shifted to the
northwest and in a few hours had re
duced the temperature to 10 above zero.

wait for the elevator man to do the dump
act.
There is scarcely a property owner in
Norfolk but who is making or planning
to make some improvements this season

it is quite certain that the extent of it

eral. Thousands of dollars will DO expended -
ponded in Norfolk this yenr on improve
ments to already valuable property.

J below was recorded at Imperial on the
Jlst , and on the same day it was 5 below

The department had another run t <
the south part of the city Saturday after
noon iu response to au alarm. One hosi
company and the hook and ladder com
pauy responded ; the former , however
was of no sorvido as the building wai
out of roach of city water. It was i
residence east of First street , about eighi
blocks south of Main , and was occupier
by n family named Gilbert. The fin
was in a shed adjoining the house whicl
was burned and the house badly scorched
od , but was saved by a bucket service
after consiuorablo hard work ou tlu
part of the firemen and citzcns.
This storm that has boon raging for
the past few days was more serious fur
ther west , ten feet of snow being report
ed on the Elkliorn Hue at Stnrgies , S. D ,
aud the running time of trains was
seriously iutorfered with. The eastbound -
bound train , duo hero yesterday noon
did not arrive until last night at 11 : ! iC
and then came from Ghadron , the reg
ular train being snow-bound west ol
Ghadron. A special force of men was
sent out from Chadron to clear the
track , nud considtablo work will bo re
quired before trains are again running

more severe west and .north than hero.
E. A. Crnm , writing from Fairhavon ,
Washington , states that the average
rainfall there for n term of years is less
than 35 inches , while on the Columbia
river it runs from TO to 00 inches , and IE
therefore not as excessive as some people
believe. They had four inches of snow
a while ago , which laid a few days and
was gone. The temperature is very
even , no sudden changes and but little
wind , which comes in from the ocean
sometimes , but nothing bad. While
good laud is worth from $50 to $100 an
acre it is claimed that it produces more
than the land east and it requires but n
few acres to maintain a .family. They
mvo plenty of fruit , fish and fuel aud
consider it a fine place to live.
It was a jolly crowd of little spooke
that attended the juvenile masquerade
given by Prof. Chambers at Marquardt
: iall Saturday evening. The costumcf
worn by the little tots were handsome ,
varied aud unique , and afforded a great
amount of amusement not only to the
youngsters who participated but to the
large number of grown people who
were spectators. The crowning feature
of the evening was the cake walk , in
which four couples contested , the winners -
ners being Graham Humphrey nnd
Dorothy Rndat. A number of people
are urging that the masquerade bo re
peated , and it is possible that Prof ,
Chambers may conclude to do so ,
This evening a masquerade will be giver
for grown people.
F. L. Hamilton and Miss Nettie Lowe
stole a march on their friends Saturday
boarded the 11 o'clock train for Madisor.
and before their return County Judge
Wm. Bates had .said the words that
made them husband and wife. Boll
those young people are members of Tin
NEWS force , and the result of their as <
sociation shows that romance may exisl
in very common places. Miss Lowe haf
lived in Norfolk the greater portion oi
her life and has been a trusted employe
of this office about three years. Mr ,
Hamilton is a first class printer , woi :
known in the oity , and ho has won t
nonpareil prize. They have the heartj
good wishes of the entire office force
that their journey through lifo may b (
full of "phat takes" with a total ab
soncoof "pi. " For the present thoj
are making their homo with Mr. ant
Mrs. A. Barrett at the corner of Fire !
and Main streets.
An Old-Timer'8 Tale.
"Talking about farming , " said Joe
Tiffany , "reminds mo of my first offorti
in agriculture in Nebraska. It was ii
1809. I landed in Columbus with t
little money and lose knowledge of the
country. With my money I being ) ]
thrcu niulos and Intended to do HOIII
freighting. Ono morning I wiiHaecosti'
by young fellow whom I themght u
the time was a Swede ) , but 1 laturlouniei
ho was none other than our own Georg
Lehman. George had a farm iuiron
thu river , and lie wanted mo to bieuil
pralrio. I had never touched n plow
but when ho told mo ho would pay $ ,
an aura for breaking , 1 confessed that
WIIH an experienced breaker , am
promptly undertook the Job. I boiiKh
the finest now plow in town , hltohei
my niuhw to it and Hturled to work
After four limns of elespnatu cll'orl
was uniiblo to hold that plow in tin
ground long enough te > tuin a furrow i
rod tang , and was on the point of giving
np in disgust , when I was accosted by i
kindly gentleman whom I nftorwmdi
rocogni/ed as Charley ICelnko. I toll
him my troubles , and ho nskeid to lool
nt my glow. It was n beauty , and . '
was proud of it. Charley looked at the
plow , and then at me and then Iu
laughed , I was not in a laughing hu
mor , and 1 demanded the CUUHO of hli
mirth. In the best of good nature he
turned the plow out oftho ground am
showed mo that 1 had been trying tc
break prairie ) with a plow lay that had
never boon sharpened. I took the plow
to the nhop , had it ftlmrponoel , and in
seven days broke twenty acicsof prairie ,
and earned an even $100. When I see
men trying to preach or practice law ,
without having first acquired n propei
education , I often think of my own ef
forts in breaking prairie without first
Imving sharpened my plow. " Colum

These- equinoctial storms are likely to

does and the people will concede that
his time of year is usually marked by

will undoubtedly bo storms but those in
which winter gives way to spring nre

nice bewildering in the extreme. No
explanation of her gift is cil'ercd , that
she POHSCSHCH the power to feel the
bought waves of others , is all that can

crutiny , her tests have been given un-

ho watchful eyes of the most difitin-
Kuifihod scientists in Europe aud Ameri

ritics and dumbfounded the doubters.
There scorns to bo no clue for the skop-

Never thought of such a
: gn for n medicine did you ?
' /ell , it's a good sign for
cott's Emulsion. The body
as to be repaired like other
nings and Scott's Emulsion is
he medicine that docs it.
These poor bodies wear out
rom worry , from over-work ,
rom disease. They get thin
md weak. Some of the new
mcs arc not well made and
ill of the old ones are racked
rom long usage.
Scott's Emulsion fixes all

nside and out. It makes soft
) oncs hard , thin blood red ,
veak lungs strong , hollow
places full. Only the best ma
terials arc used in the patching
and the patches don't show
through the new glow of health.
No one has to wait his turn.
You can do it yourself you
and thebottle. _
