-L The high wind Tuesday did considerable damage in various parts of the county, in the way of blowing down windmills, trees, and other property. Tne iron smokestack at the River Mills in Rensselaer was blown down and completely ruined, while at Babcock & Hopkins’ elevator a section of the smokestack was blown down. A part of the slate roof of the city water and light plant was also blown off. Congressman. Crumpacker has recommended editor Kitt of the Goodland Herald for the appointment of postmaster at that place. Bro. Kitt has bad previous experience in this line of work, having served as postmaster at Goodland under the first Cleveland administration, when he was on the democratic side of the political fence. The Democrat extends congratulations to Bro. Kitt on his Christmas gift.
