Heavy Hail Slorm Dees Considerable Damage on the Dovey
' Section Northwest of This City.
DEATD CUtlAIS

This city and its immediate vicin
ity received the first rainfall of any
consequence for the past two months,
yesterday afternoon. The fall in this
city as shown by the guage at the
Burlington station was an even half
inch and at points west and south
west it was slightly in excess of this,
being estimated at from three-quarters
to one inch. The downpour,
small as it was, was of incalcuable
value to growing crops, especially
corn and will enable that cereal to
continue to make a growth. From
south of;the city reports come that
the fall was about the same as here
and this, in addition to several other
showers of the past ten days makes
some of the fields almost certain to
produce a good crop. The rainfall
did not extend any great distance in
to the country and ended this side of
the Otoe county line, West, the rain
extended some eight miles or more
and north It reached across the coun
ty line and over to LaPlatte in Sarpy
county. The fall at the latter point
was very light, however, and north of
that place it ceased entirely.
Hail accompanied the rain from
the Platte to as far south of Murray.
In the city it was light and did not
do any damage but it was sufficient
ly heavy out at Streight's place north
west of the city and at Kunsman &
ltamge's to cover the ground and
spread a white sheet over the sur
face. Reports from west and south
west of the city indicate that the hail
did some damage and was strong
enough to break window lights and
raise havoc with growing corn. There
was considerable wind with the hall
fouthwest of the city and the greater
part of the damage can be laid to the
wind more than to the hail. Small
grain which had not been harvested
such as oats and wheat were the
greatest sufferers and there will be
quite a bit of loss from this source.
At the Dovey section southwest of
the city, the storm seems to have
been pretty severe and the man oc
cupying the place called up George E.
Dovey to tell him that the hail had
swept the fields and that corn had
been stripped In some places. He
was engaged in cutting hia oats at
the time the storm struck and he
stated that the oats which were left
uncut would be a total loss. It is
not believed that corn suffered much
as the stand Is strong and vigorous
now and would withstand a severe
hail storm. The windows in the
house on the north and west sides
were, broken out. The report from
the Dcvey section Is the most discour
aging heard and it is believed the loss
Is exaggerated. On the whole the
farmers in this section were well
pleased with the downpour and be
lieve that it will do a great deal of
good. Another heavy storm passed
Around the city during the night and
It was hoped that some of the rain
in that ttorm would strike here but
it did not. This storm went north,
Oriaha receiving a good soaking and
passed off toward the southeast, go
ing cov.ii through Iowa.
Owing to the extremely dry con
dition of the ground; the rainfall
soaked la quickly and very little ran
off in the streams and ditches. There
was quite a little stream flowing
down Main street for a few moments
after the rain but it soon ceased.
The general feeling among the farm
ers 13 that a downfall for twenty
four hours is what is needed to put
corn la an absolutely safe position,
although the scattering showers have
helped a good deal In that direction.
Later reports from the neighbor
hood of the Dovey section, the Meis-
llnger farm, Charles C. Parmele's
farm and other places in the immedi
ate vicinity of the above Indicate the
loss was much more severe than had
been thought at first. Farmers from
that locality who came to the city
confirm the first news of the loss and
stated that further Investigation Indi
cated that the loss wa3 greater than
Imagined at first. Wheat and oats
which were standing in the fields
were literally destroyed, the straw be
Ing beaten into the ground and the
heads threshed out as clean as if a
machine had done the job. The corn
which was in the affected district is
looked upon as a total loss and the
plant Is stripped of Its leaves and
ruined. There Is some consolation
in the fact that the district o' er
which the storm swept was a compar
atively small and narrow one and
that the storm was not general. Des
pite this the loss in the aggregate
will be pretty heavy and the blow to
those who lived In the district is a
very severe one.
The storm which went around this
city last evening was very heavy in
Omaha and through western Iowa, a
good rain falling accompanied by
much lightning which did a good deal
of damage. In Omaha there was a
good deal of wind with the. storm
and the Sells-Floto shows which were
exhibiting there, had to take their
tent down on that account before the
show was over.. No hail is reported
in that section, however.
Yesterday Is the banner hot weath
er day of the year, the country over.
The highest recorded temperature for
the day was 109 degress, both r.t
Wichita, Kas., and Enid, Okla., wit'i
a short distance of each other. At

DIED Horn, Mrs. Margaret Eliza

A lingering Illness came to a
peaceful dose last evening at 9:07
o'clock when the life of Mrs. Mar
garet Elizabeth Horn, widow of the
late Jacob Horn, passed away. The
storms of many winters had beaten
about this noble woman and had
turned her locks from the hues of
early and middle age to the white
ness of snow and through all of
them she had gone steadily and
faithfully forwarl to the end of her
destiny, secure In the knowledge that
her life was of the most pure and
serene and her Christian faith of
that splendid type which can calmly
wait the Inevitable. In her life time
which had been largely spent within
a few miles of this city, the deceased
had come to be known as one of the
most noble of women. Always a
most sincere and ardent Christian
and a woman of great nobleness of
character she leaves behind her only
the best and most faithful of friends.
She was that character of woman
whom to know was to love and whose
passing away leaves a void In the
hearts of her friends which time can
never fill. To those who are left
to survive here, there is the ever
welcome and ready word of sympathy
from a large and sorrowing number
of good friends to whom the news
of her death carried a message of
the most sorrowful nature.
Mrs. Horn born Margaret Eliza
beth Lammert, first saw the light In
the nrovince of Hesse-Darmstadt,

Victims of Hail Storai.
G. A. B. Hicks who farms out in
the district swept by the hail storm
yesterday, was in the city today at
tending to business. He reports that
the storm has practically laid his
crops to waste and that he will raise
nothing this year. Mr. Hicks lost
all his corn and some small grain
which had not been cut while he'also
lost a number of chickens and small
ducks and geese. He was located In
the center of the stricken district
and loses quite heavily.
Adam Keffenberger, the well
known farmer from west of the city,
was in today attending to business
matters. Mr. Kafenberger was an
other of the victims of the hall yes
yesterday and suffered quite a severe
loss although not quite so bad as
some of his neighbors. Only a cor
ner of his property was struck but
where the hail did damage, it did a
good job of it and leaves nothing In
the district. He feels his loss keenly
but is glad it was no worse and sorry
that his neighbors were more unfor
tunate than he.
Foolish to Talk Tour Ciop.
Colonel H. C. McMaken this morn
ing returned from a trip to Kansas
City, Mo., where he had some busi
ness to look after. Colonel McMaken
states that the talk of poor crops is
foolish as he never saw conditions as
good as at present. There is a great
small grain crop in prospect and
there is every indication that corn
will be a great crop also. He saw
some of the finest corn e'ver grown
and thinks it will turn out a great
yield. Colonel McMaken met many
good judges of crop conditions and
they are united in praise of the out
look and believe the time Is ripe now
for a bumper crop of both small grain
and coarser grains.

Iteturiis From Trip.
John Hlber who has been spend
ing the past week making a visit In
the vicinity of Huron, S. I)., where
he has some farm lauds, returned to
his home this morning. Mr. Iliber re
ports that he has found the country
up about Huron to be in the best pos
sible condition and he returned en
thusiastic over the prospects for good
crops in that locality. He found that
an abundance of wheat had been
raised and that the heads were large
and heavy. He also noticed that a
very fine barley crop had been rais
ed and oats are making a fair crop.
Mr. Hlbe. traveled over a great part
of the country during his absence and
had the best of opportunity to see
what the conditions were. He traveled
mVich of the way by auto and from
this he was enabled to see Just what
the country was producing. He de
preciated the talk of short crops In
the north and stated that from his oh
serrations there was none better than
those raised In the neighborhood of
Huron. Corn is In good shape and
a timely rain is all that Is needed to
make a bumper crop for the farmers
of that locality. Mr. Hlber Is not in
clined to be optimistic and looks at
all these matters In the right light
preferring to rather underdraw the
conditions than to overdraw them.
He is well pleased with the land
which he owns In that locality and is
quite sure It Is going to steadily ad
vance In value as it has the crops to
do so with. The trip was In the na
ture of an outing for him and he re
turned feeling much refreshed after
It.
