REPAIRING THE LINES ,
Telephone and Telegraph Companies
Slowly Correcting Damage.
[ From Tuesday's Dally. ]

oriously damaged and is now working
o the end of the company's Hues ;
outh the lines are in working order as
ar as Albion , and northeast to Hoskins.
iHvo men have boon employed between
lore and Pilger for fonr days since the
term and the fact that they have just
miulo oouuoctlous with the east indi
cates the condition in which the lines
voro left by the storm. A gang work-

Danger of Colds and Grip.
The greatest danger from colds and
; rip is their resulting in pneumonia ,
[ f reasonable care is used , however , and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken ,
all danger will bo avoided. Among the
tens of Bhousnuds who have used this
remedy for these diseases wo have yet
to learn of a single case having resulted
in pneumonia , which shows conclus
ively that it is n certain preventive of
that dangerous disease. It will cure n
cold or an attok of the grip in loss time
than any other treatment. It is
pleasant and safe to tako. For sale by

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by Ono Bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy.
"When I had nu uttuck of the grip
last winter ( the tecond ono ) I actually
oured niyholf with one bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy , " says Frank
W. Perry , editor of the Enterprise ,
Shortsville , N. Y. . "This is the honest
truth. I at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking a tcaspoonful
ot this remedy , and when the coughing
spell would como on at night I would
take a dpso and it seemed that in the
briefest interval the cough would pass
off and I would go to sleep perfectly
free from cough and' ' its accompanying
pains. To say that the remedy acted as
a most agreeable surprise is putting it
very mildly. I had no idea that it
would or could knock out the grip ,
simply because I had never tried it for
such n purpose , but it did , and it seemed
with the Focond attack of coughing the
remedy caused it to not only bo of less
duration , but the pains were far less
severe , and I had not used the contents
of ono bottle before Mr. Grip had bid
me adieu. " For sale by the Klocuu

MUTUAL TORNADO INSURANCE.
rarmers of Four Counties Organize
Yesterday for Protection.
[ From Tuesday's Dally. ]
At the mooting of farmers held yester
day afternoon at Marquardt's hall for
lie purpose of forming a mutual tornado
insurance company auxiliary to the pres
ent mutual fire insurance company there
was a fair attendance of farmers from
Madison , Stautou , Pierce and Wayne
counties.
An organization was effected , and
; ho company will incorporate and begin
; o do business as soon as 150 farmers
lave expressed their intention of join
ing. The officers of the tornado com
pany are the same as those of the fire
company , with the exception that the
positions of president and treasurer have
been reversed. The directors are also
the same , but the business of the tornado
company will bo distinct from that of
the fire company.
The officers chosen are as follows :
0. F. Winter , president.
August Lenz , secretary ,
Herman Buettow , treasurer.
The above are also the directors for
Madison county , with the following
named from the other three .counties :
Pierce 0. F. Rhorko , 0. H. Bucken-
dahl , H. Stoinkraus. Stanton F ,
Grim , Ed. Pheil , H. Koch. Wayne
Wm. Viergutz , August Dock.
The mutual fire insurance company ,
of which this la an auxiliary , haa been
organized and doing business for thir
teen years and now has 550 members.
To cover the losses and meet the expen
ses of this year n two-mill levy was
made and it is believed that this will be
all that will be necessary , and there
may be a balance left in the treasury ,
depending somewhat on what the losses
amount to until the oloso of the year.
Those who have entered the company ,
find it a safe and economical way of
handling their insurance , and the tor
nado company will be a success beyond
n doubt.
OTHER POSSIBLE VIOLATIONS.
It is Intimated that Quail and Prairie
Chickens are Being Sold Here.
[ From Saturday's Dally. ]

investigation would levenl violators of
the laws protecting game birds. It is
said that voryjreoontly quail and prairie
chickens have boon brought to the olty
and sold. '
Inasmuch as this is the brooding' sea
son of the birds nnd they nro Very tame ,
the violation Is all the moro flagrant
and deserving of punishment. Itispps- ' | * T i
slblo that people in the vicinity are "
maintaining traps for the taking of these
birds and if such should prove to bo the
case prosecution would be justifiable.
It might bo expected that city people
would violate these bird laws if they
bad a favorable opportunity , but no
law should bo necessary to prevent the
farmers from killing either species and
especially quail. Ho might possibly get
a quarter for a dead quail , which if per
mitted to live nnd produce a brood
would save him dollars by the destruc
tion of injurious insects.
Certainly anyone who is guilty of
; rnppiug quail or prairie chickens in the
midst of the brooding season is deserv-
ug of punishment.

Generosity Tested.
Dr. J. M. Alden has n reputation of
being generous to n fault when it comes
to matters of professional service , but a
request recently all but stumped him.
A little mite of n girl called at the
Pierce pharmacy the other day and
waited around impatiently , refusing to
tell her mission to the gentlemanly pro
prietor of the store. Shortly Dr. Alden
oamo in and the little mite tiptoed up to
him and requested that ho bring a
baby sister to their house right away I
The doctor was nonplussed at first , but
looked down into the eager eyes and
eaid that they were hard to get at the
present time , but that ho would look
into the matter and do the best he could ,
and the little one went away happy.
