There wan severe storm which was particularly bad near iVrailmor. Reports of damage done were re inffyed, but later advice* toned them down. -Chicago sent it out to the country that the Van 'jjpuiea-Harrington company had estimated South Dakota's crop at 22,000,000 bu spring wheat '^snd 19,000,000 bu macaroni.

The weather northwest Vwas wet, not a bad thing. The Duluth Commei Scial Record hsid a summary showing damage Crom hot dry weather, but the rains since its &ssue have changed the situation. Fargo had a [rain all day yesterday and thru the night, but wras clear this morning, and it was raining Mthls morning at St. Cloud. I The corn market felt the reassurance that fol lowed rain.

Altho the big companies did not make the -ueral situation any better the smaller mills ported the best day of the season yesterday and another good run of business today.

"Speaking of accommodating hotel clerks,'' remarked a traveler,'' the best I ever saw was in a certain Maine town I reached the hotel late in the evening. Just before I retired I heard a scampering under the bed and saw a couple of large rats just escaping. I complained at the office. The clerk was as serene as a summer breeze. I'll fix that all right, sir,' he said. 'Front! Take a cat up to room 23 at once.' THE BETTER SORT. Witzblatt. "Here's a cigar which I reserved specially for you." "Well, do you know, I would rather have one you had specially reserved for yourself." HALLET & O Grain Commission 11 2 Cfcamba of Csanerw, liueapolis MARFIELD- GRIFFITHS CO.
