PLENTY OF MOISTURE THIS WEEK
A heavy rainfall visited this section Monday morning, but it was a light shower as compared with the downpour that old Jupiter Pluvious turned loose yesterday. Rain fell at close intervals all day, but at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon it came in torrents, and this continued until about 9 o'clock , practically the entire townsite being covered with water, flooding many cellars and several store basements. A terrific electrical storm started about 8 o'clock and the air was filled with illumination and crashes that resembled cannonading for a half hour or more. No buildings were struck in town, but many phones were put out of commission and one heavy discharge put the entire electric light system on the blink for a few seconds by throwing the safety switch at the power house. No damage resulted. The sewer trench near the Benns hotel caved in for a considerable distance, and one of the Chas. Wise 's dray horses got into the deep ditch. It was with much difficulty that the animal was pulled out.
It was by fare the heaviest rain and electrical storm of the year. It is estimated that at least five inches of water fell on the level Wednesday. The ground is now thoroughly soaked for the first time since last Spring.

Frederick J. Walter , was born in Collingwood , Ontario , Canada , September 4, 1880 , and died at the age of 34 years. He moved to Hawarden , Iowa , with his parents in 1890 and lived there until four years ago. He had charge of a lumber yard at Eagle Butte, S.D., when his health broke down several months ago. Mr. Walter was an upright, bright and energetic young man, liked and respected by all who knew him. Besides his bereaved wife, there are left to mourn his untimely taking away his mother, at Hawarden, and several brothers and sisters. One brother, Charles , of Sioux City , was formerly employed in the Akron depot.
The remains were taken to Hawarden, his former home, Sunday, where the funeral was held under Masonic auspices. Interment was made there at Grace Hill cemetery, beside his father.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank our friends, neighbors, and lodge members for their many acts of kindness and help rendered during the illness and death of our beloved husband, son and brother, F.J. Walter . – His Wife, Mother, Brothers and Sisters.

For we have things they'll sure enjoy.
And bring the girls both short and tall
We've needlework to suit them all.
We'll have pop corn and candy too
So let the children come with you.
The grandpas and dear grandmas
Don't leave behind for any cause.
The dainty things we have to sell
We know will please each one quite well
For they are made so very nice
And then we know they'll suit in price.
We'll open up at hour of two
And keep right on the evening through
The supper you will see is fine
So come right on and fall in line.
The chicken pie, now don't you tell,
Is just as nice or e'en more swell
Than mother ever dared to make,
You'll eat until your sides will break.
We've baked beans and pickles, too,
So you can eat till you are through.
There's coffee full of nice rich cream,
Fresh cake that is a perfect dream.
So come, our doors are open wide,
And have your needs at once supplied.
Come on by rail or touring car,
And thus enjoy our Fall bazaar.
