Madaen And Sons Mercantile Stock 6" Badly Damaged About 8:30 last Tuesday evening firs was discovered in the A. Madsen Sons mercantile store in this city and in a few minutes the -nity fire department was on the the flames.

The origin of We not known but was you first discor the rear end of the building after the fire was Goor discovered was a small explosion probably caused by gasoline or coal oil, being a ourtial barrel of coal oil cline in the rear of the store. Mr. Madisen left the store shortly after 7 o'clock when everything was alright. The stoek. of goods was badly damaged by fire and water the loss being fully covered by insurance.

The store will be closed until the insurance company representatives arrive to adjust the loss. The building which is owned by J. M.

Deeter. The cyclone cometh and no man worketh, for he watcheth it; and desireth that his soul be hid in the cleft of a rock, so that his shadow will not be cast in a weary land. It seeketh whom it may desire, and manifesteth its strength amazingly, and we cannot tell whither it cometh, or whither it goeth, for no man dare say who cometh here?" It uttereth groans and moans as the sound of a great noise in the clouds. It -sweepeth our door yard as well as thy neighbor's come unhidden. Yet we must heed its voice' and prepare to make a path straight to safty.

It is great. we are small. Tho' we can't yield to its temptation, it grasps those whom it may serve that they may ever remember it. Watch' ye therefore, for we know not the hour when it cometh in the clouds with power, and be ready to run the race that is now before you--to the cave, Noreatur Dispatch. CHFYENNE COUNTY'S CROP.

Harvesting has been the order of the day for about a week or ten days now, and the most flattering reports in regard to crops are The wheat crop is being estimated at from 20 to 25 bushels to the acre. Many fields going 30 bushels. 'The barley crop is the best seen in this county in years. Why people living in the to eastern half states of the will give for from the two use one crop land when Cheyenne Co. land can be bought at present for a nominal price remains a mystery to the average thinker.

It is no uncommon thing for a farmer in this county to have from 200 to 500 acres of wheat. I have in mind one of our progressive farmers Mr. Loyd, living in the famous Cheyenne Valley, who came to this county about two year ago from Philips County Kansas. He purchased a steam plow outfit and put out about 450 aeres of wheat which will average 20 bushels at least. Is there any farmer in the east who can beat this for one? Resolutions Of Respect Whereas: Our heavenly Father in his unsearchable providence, mercy and love, has called from our midst James Donaldson, a worthy and beloved comrad and member of Sam Webber Post No 412 Grand Army of the Republic to be mustered into the triumphant Grand Army in that eternal hour where there are no more battles, but where all is peace and love; RESOLVED: That, in his death this Post suffers an irreparable loss; the State loses an upright honorable citizen, whose first thought was always for his country, and his children, a kind Indulgent father: RESOLVED: That, in respect to his memory and of the high esteem in which he was held by his comrades the Charter of his Post be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days.

RESOLVED: That, we tender our sincere sympathy to the bereaved children and friends of our departed comrade in this time of their deep sorrow. RESOLVED. That these resolutions he spread at length upon the minutes of this Post and that copies be furnished the St. Francis papers for publication. Jehn Bear, H.

He knows it is cheaper to have good, comfortable barns, sheds, pens, chicken houses, than not to have them.
