Rock Island & Pacific railroad In this city,

Mr. Reed sat together on the front porch
and at that time Mr. Peck appeared to be
In his usual health.

office yesterday morning at the usual hour
a telephone message was sent to tho Reed
residence. Frank Reed had gone to his
office at the county court house and a neigh
bor, Mrs. Pontius, hearing the telephone
ringing repeatedly, finally answered It.
Mrs. Pontius then called Mr. Reed from the
courthouse and he and his brother-in-law,
R. C. Peregoy, .hastened to tho house, whero
they found Mr. Peck apparently asleep In
bed. Closer Investigation showed that ho
was dend. .
Coroner Treynor was at once summoned,
but decided that there was no need for an
inquest, s death was evidently due to heart
disense. The body wan removed to an un
dertaking establishment and the members
of the family were notified by tologrnph
A son, Paul Peck, Is a student In Chicago
university.
Mr. Peck wbr 55 years of age and had

DES MOINES, July 3, (Special.) Re
ports have been very stow in coming In
from all over the northern part of the
state with regard to the storm damage
of Monday evening. Tho storm appears
to have been nothing more than a straight
wind with none of tho symptoms of a
cyclone or oven a tornado. The greatest
damage done, according to reports received
today at the weather station and also by
tho railroad companies, was to tho grow
ing crops. Tho corn was at that stage In
Its growth when It would be most easily
blown down, but much of It Is so small
that it wilt pick up again and make a
crop despite tho damage. The small grain
has been destroyed lu many places.
Reports Indicate thero was heavy hallfall
In Boone and other counties to the north,
which wns ruinous to crops. A great many
windmills were blown down along the lino
of tho Fort Dodge division of tho Rock
Island and tho Milwaukee and Northwest
ern railroads. There was much damage of
this kind done In Webster nnd Calhoun
counties. At Stater, on the Milwaukee, nn
elevator wns blown down. At Marshall
town, Boone, Cambridge, .caring nnd othor
points thero wag damago to buildings and
fences and trees. Three hams wore blown
down In Cambridge. Reports at first In
dicated much greater damage, but they
were exaggerated.
A man was struck by lightning and killed
at Nevada. His name was not learned
here.
Chnutnuitin Season Opens.

There has been much speculation as to
tho purposo of John Barrett, cx-mtnlstcr
to Slam, In paying a visit to B. II. Conger,
United States minister to China, here at
this time. Ho arrived last night and spent
tho day with Major Conger. Mr. Barrett
In an Interview declared that he had no
Intention of bolng a 'cnndldato for tho po
sition of minister to Uhlua against Major
Conger. Ho' said" that" when it was rumored
that Major Conger' might bo tondorcd the
nomination for governor of Iowa, repre
sentatives of commercial bodies set on foot
a movement to. have 'Earrctt becomo min
ister to China. The;' movement was es
pecially strong on tho' Pacific coast. Mr.
Barrett says that twenty senators and forty
members of the house Indorsed him for the
position, besides a great many others of
Influence, but it was all with tho under
standing that Major Conger might becomo
nominee for governor of Iowa and would
voluntarily resign his post In China. Ho
denies that he had any understanding witli
Congressman' Hull about tho matter. He
saw Hull In Sau Francisco when ho was
on his'' way to the Philippines and talked
about China.

DEADWOOD. S. D., July 3. (Spoclal.)
Twenty-five years ngo this fall the 3loux
Indian nations signed tho troaty giving
tho United States the portion of country
now known as tho Black Hills. It was
necessary for congress to appoint two spe
cial commissions before tho proper agree
ment could be made.
When General Custer entered tho Black
Hills In the summer of 1S74 with an ex
pedition sent out by tho government to
ascertain tho actual condition of things
he found Indications of gold In French
creek. On the afternoon of July 3, 184.
N. Ross, a scout of this expedition, panned
out the first particles of gold, which waa
tho first actual discovery, as far as rec
ords go. General Custer reported this
finding, which made It plain to congress
and tho president ot the United States
that it not only would be desirable, but
was absolutely necessary, for the govern
ment to get possession of this new gold
field.
First Commission Falls.
Accordingly, on the 16th of June, 1875,
tho secretary of the Interior appointed the
first commission, which consisted of the
following persons: Hon. William B. Alli

doned for mining purposes. The Indians,
Influenced by tho squawmen, asked an ex
orbitant prlco for tho country, tho final
figures being '70,000,000 and In addition
support for seven Indian generations. It
wns Impossible for tho commission to ac

broko up, recommending to congress in its
report to contlnuo negotiations with the
Indians.
