CONFIDENCE IN THE MAN BEHIND THE GIN
When you or anyone near and dear to you gels sick,
or meets with an accident, you call in the doctor that
you haye the most confidence in. When the doctor
prescribes medicine for you, you naturally go to the
druggist that you have the most confidence in.
While the success of most businesses depends on work
ing hard and all the time, the main thing in the druj
dusiness is to know your work from A to Z and keep
abreast with the times.
Fifteen years ago we started in very modestly. To-day
we have one of the largest drug stocks in the state,
and our continually growing prescription business be
speaks your conlidence in us.

THE STORM
Yesterday's Wind, Ran and
Hail Damaged Crops in
this Vicinity.
The storm which struck this vicinity
about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
seems to have done widespread damage
throughout the northwest part of the
state. The storm started in the vicin
ity of Blnnt and proceeded in south
easterly course
In Madison there was no material
damage, the only thing beiug the
breaking of limbe from trees, but
tne wind was terrific, of the twisting
variety, and the heavy downfall of
rain was with bail.
Three miles north of the city the
greatest damage is repoxted. Crops
are said to be neariy ruined in a track
from two to four miles wide and six
mil«s long. This seems to have been
the only locality in the county struck
by hail to the exteut of doing damage.
South of the city wind and rain is re
ported, but no hail, and hence very
little damage. Trainmen arriving
from Sioux Falls this morning say no
damage is apparent along the line cf
the cutoff.
The heaviest damage reported is be
tween Oldham and Rumona, coming
in from the northwest. Here the ctop4
in many fields are entirely ruined.
Tiainmen from the west state that
the storm did not toncb Woorsocket
or Wessinuton Springs. North of
Howard, however, reports are to the
effect hat much damage was done.
There were reports in Madison this
morning that a large amount of dam
age had been done to buildings in
Sioux Falls, but such is not the case.
Taking it altogether the damage to
crops is in spots—one farm being badly
damaged while another adjoining cs
capes with only slight injury. Hence,
the comparative damage in the state
is not great.
Huron dispatch to The Daily
Leader says: "Reports of damage in
ceuntry by yesterday afternoon's wind,
lain and hail storm came in slowly but
all indications show severe damage to
crops. Hundreds of acres of wneat and
oats are leveled and corn and llaz are
severely damaged. The wind attained
a velocity of sixty miles aa hour and
shade trees, aud telegraph and tele
phone wires were prostrated through
out the country and city. Small build
ings were blown down and chimneys
toppled over. At the state fair ground-'
buildings in course of conntructiou
were damaged several thousands dol
lars. The storm came from the north
went and was the severest experienced
here for several years.''

CITY SCHOOLS
Regular Meeting Last Night
New Board Organized,
Vacancies Filled,
Etc.
The regular meeting of the city
-•hool board was held last evening at
lerk Iloldridge's office, all members
i eing present. After allowing the
nrrent bills for the mpntb the board
lected Prof. Anson Hayes of Des
Moines. Iowa, to tie position of
science and Athletics at a salary of
~90 per mouth. Miss (Jrace E. Rus
*11 of Storm Lake. lovta, was elected
nstructor in English in the high
ctaool at a salary of |T0 per month.
Having completed thf business for
ue year the old board 'adjourned and
the new board was called together by
'Ilerk Holdrioge.
J. C. Palmer who was re-elected
it the last school electUn. qualified as
i member of tbe board.
The following officers were chosen
iy the board for the ensiing year:
F. C. Metcalf, president F. H.
ii'iles, vice president H- H. Hold
idge, clerk.
The committees appointed by Pres.
Metcalf are: Teachers and course
tudieH, F. H. Files. R. B. Fitzgerald
-upplies, J. C. Palmer., F. H. Files
finance, A. G. Schmidt, J. C. Palmer,
tuilding and grounds, R. B. Fitzger
rtld, A. G. Scntuidt.
The board unanimously adopted the
iollowing scale of wages to be paid
^rade teachers in the future. Miui
tuuut wages |r0 per month, maximum
wages, $60 per month an increase of
^2.50 per month for each year of eei
vice from the second to the fifth year
Inclusive. Teachers w th more than
two years experience prior to their en
gagement at Madison may, at the die
cretion of the board, start at ^wages in
excess of the minimum.
While the wages of the older teach
ers in the grades will be materially
Increased, one less teacher will le em
ployed, so the total amount paid tht
grade teachers will be less than last
veai. In short the total amount of
wages in tbe schools will be less tbartj
the past year.
In the high achool the amount paid
for wages, iucluding superintendent,
will lie slightly less than last year,
notwithstanding the board has employ
ed an instructor for athletics and pro
vided for department in manual train
ing. A comparative report shows tbe
exact expenditure for wages in the
high school over last year.

The annual tax levy for the current
year was as follows: Sinking fund
11,000 tuition fund, $10,000 general
fund, fit,000 making a total of $14,
000, while for tbe year 1808 the mi
nual tax levy was flK.000 and for
15(07, $20,ooo. This shows a reduction
of #4,000 in the levy over last year
and $!,000 over two years ago.|a reduc
tion in two years of nearly one
third.
This speaks very highly of tbe man
agement of the city schools by onr
present board. Although the total ex
penditures over the past two years has
been materially decreased tbe stand
ard of the schools is in no manner re
duced. On the contrary tbe wages of
the teacners have lieec increased aud
manual training and an athletic in
structor added.
EXCITING RIDE
Bride and Groom
Out to Sea
a Whale.
Carried
by
Seattle, July HO. -Mr. and Mrs,
John Greenleaf, who have been spend
ing their honeymoon living in a bouso
boat, were given a fast ride of twenty
miles behind a yonng fin back whale
near Port Angeles
The houseboat was erected on a float
made of eight logs, each eighty feet
long and fully a foot thick. The boat
was securely anchored iu a little cove
by two heavy cables. To prevent its
breaking away in case of storm,
chains were hung from the logs
to
anchors buried in the sandy beucb.
It is believed the whale was playing
at night in tbe cove and, coming up
under the float became tangled in the
loose anchor chains. Unable to free
himself, the big fteh net the heavy
float careening until the cables parted.
A little after sunrise fishermen saw
the float and the houseboat swaying as
if it were in an earthquake. Then
the raft and all started for the ocean.
The fishermen were unaware ^the boat
was occupied until they saw the fright
ened groom andh is bride clinging
desperately to tbe sides of tbe bouse.
They cried oat for help and tbe fiaber-
im»n In aded their launch toward th.
rabidly disappearing float and followed
at full speed.
About twenty miles out in the strait
of Juan do Fuca the float came to a
standstill. The fishermen soon came
up and rescued Ureculoaf and his wife.
The whale, barely thirty feet IOUK,
had Iec3me pinched between two logs
and wnfl derd
HEAR1N(TTCM)AY
Trial of Victor at Aberdeen
for Murder of Christie
Family.
Aberdeen, July :'.n •Tha ttial of
Kmi 1 Victor for the murder of the
Christie familv and 'Micheal Ronayne
will begin at the Brown county court
house in this city on the morning of
.Inly 81, .ludire Frank McNulty of the
fifth judicial circuit having called a
special terui for that purpose
Victor n not yet secured an attor
ney, and the first thing the court will
do, undouhte.ly. will be to appoint
an attorney to look after the rights
of the prisoner.
It is believed that Victor will try to
save his neck by offering to plead guil
ty to the murders, providing the court
will impose a life sentence, as he has
the option of doing, under the South
Dakota law, instead of tbe death sen
tence.
It is not known whether State's At
torney Van Slyke will be willing to
accept Victor's plea of guilty on any
terms whatever. Tbe feeling on the
part of the authorities appearing to be
that so long as they have Victor's
written and signed confession, they
can afford to stand pat and insist upon
the extreme penalty being imposed.
This demand meets with the approval
of the public generally, as the feeling
is that so atrocious a crime should not
be punished merely by a life sentence.
SHORTENS TIME
Milwaukee Freight Schedule
the Coast Saves Many
Hours.
The Milwaukee & St. Panl is operat
ing freight on a schedule of 176 nouis
from Chicago aud 144 hours from tne
Twin cities to Tacoma.
The Cuicago schedule is about six
teen hours faster than the previuug
time and is made possible by the low
grade of the new line. The service of
thirteen days from Maine to Pnget
Hound is also exciting favorable com
ment anions shippers
The Chicago & Northwestern rail
way has in contemplation, it is
officially stated, the construction of
several branch lines in South Dakota
to open up and develop few wheat
farming lands. The construction work
is to be done in the next three or four
years.
Steps already are lieing taken to se
cure from South Dakota charters for
the various lines which have been pro
posed. These lines will be organized
as independent companies, aud the ci st
of the construction will be advanced
by the Northwestern company, which
will subsequently take the loads ovei
through leases.
A charter already has been secured
for the longest branch line, tbe James
River Valley & Northwestern railway.
This line will be built from Blunt to
Gettysburg and from Oneida to Hitch
cock, 180 miles. Another line, a char
ter for which, it is expected, will lie
secured shortly, will extend «ast from
