STORM DOES GREAT DAMAGE
Crops Injared and Buildings Totally

and Hall.
HARLAN, la.. July II i8peclal?)-The
townships of Union, Greeley, Jefferson,
Polk and part of Jackson, In Shelby county,
were visited by a bad hall and windstorm
on Monday afternoon about 4 o'clock. The
storm, after having visited Crswford
county south of Denlson, entered Shelby
county near Defiance and moved in an
easterly direction, doing more or lees
damage, just how much cannot be defi
nitely told at this time, since all the tele
phone lines are down. At the town of Ir
win, however, the wind blew almost wltk
the force of a hurricane and the hall de
molished' many window lights and glass
fronts. From Irwin the storm moved in a
direction a little east of south, doing much
damage to crops and to trees and buildings.
Many haystacks just finished were badly
whisked around. Corn seems badly cut in
some placea and blown down over a very
large area. The corn will, however, re
sume its normal condition In a few days

'Lineup.
"Don't Be a Ham and Stay Away" was
one of the many Inscription on the wagons
in the parade of the Council Bluffs Retail
Grocers' and Butchers' association last
evening to advertise the association's sec
ond annual picnic, to be held Thursday at
Missouri Valley. "Twent-two Miles to the
Nearest Grocery" was another significant
inscription, as it was meant to notify the
housewives of Council Bluffs that on the
day of the picnic every grocery in the city
would be closed all day.
The parade was all that had been prom
ised and, in fact, more. There were over
JOO wagons in line, from the heavy haul
ing wagon of the wholesaler with its four
horses to the single horse delivery wagon
of the small retailer. Many of the wagons
were elaborately deoorated, some of the
aesigns being extremely novel.
One wagon which attracted considerable
attention had painted on Its sides, "To the
Plcnlo or Bust." It was drawn by ta odd
looking team consisting of an immense
dray horse and a small broncho. Back of
the wagon, from which was hanging a
bale of hay, trailed a sorry, wornout look
ing horse and a oow. The outfit was in
tended as a reproduction of the early days
of the city, when as Kanesvllle it was a
frontier outfitting post for the great and
then almost unknown west.
The parade, which traversed the princi
pal business and residence streets, took
nearly half an hour to pass a given oolnt
The streets were lined with people as on
IS reported to one of the Clapper places
In Harlan .township. Ths new Danish hall
at Jacksonville la seriously wrecked by
the storm. This morning many people are
driving out to see the damage done, many
of them greatly interested becausa they
own land and have relatives who own land
In the storm-swept country.

Trouble Among Barbers.
Internecine warfare ia Imminent among
the union barbers of Council Bluffs due
to the failure of some of the members of
the union to abide by the recently amended
hour schedule. The union last month de
elded that during the remainder of the
summer shops should close at o'clock
Saturday nights and 11 o'clock Sunday
mornings. Fred Dingle, Oeorge Baker,
Charles Spencer and Frank Silver are the
members of the union , alleged to have
failed to abide by the new schedule and
the secretary of the union has been la
structed to call In their cards. This -means
expulsion from the union for the four al
leged violators, and they do not taks
kindly to ths action of the union. They
have refused to turn In their cards and will
resist the action of the union In expelling
them. If the union persists in calling in
the cards of these four members a barber
war may be looked for, It is said, in Coun
cil Bluffs.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, July 21. (Special.) A
meeting of the Shl'.oh Monument commis
sion was held In this city today with prac
tically all the members present, the spe
cial purpose of the meeting being to con
sider what shall be done with reference
to certain inscriptions to be placed on the
monuments at Shlloh. On the monuments
relating to the record of the Fifteenth and
Bixteenth Iowa regiment It was planned
by the commlnslon to make a statement
which should Include a claim that from 10
o'clock until IS o'clock on the first day of
the battle at Shlloh these two regiments
of raw recruits from Iowa maintained their
positions In the heart of the battlefield.
This was In accordance with the official
reports of the commanding officers of the
regiments at the time which were approved
Subsequently by the commanding generals.
There has long been some controversy over
the fecta. however, and the War depart
ment refuses to permit this claim to be
made on the monuments, as the historians
of the department make the claim that It
would have been a physical Impossibility
for the regiments to have arrived at the
designated point before noon. The mem
bers of the regiments who are surviving
are naturally indignant at the situation
and desire that soma action be taken that
will secure to them proper representation
on the monuments. The commission has
been thus far unable to secure permission
from the War department for the placing
of the inscriptions on the monuments. A
committee will continue further the nego
tiations. A number of members of the regi
ments were here today to appear and dis
cuss the matter, and the governor has
taken it up and will do all that he can to
assist In having the controversy disposed
of. It is the only controversy that has
arisen as yet over any Inscription on any
of the many monuments Iowa is erecting to
the memory of those who fell on southern
battle grounds.
Oroenwell Gete Hts Freedom.
J. T. Greenwell of Davenport was given
his freedom this morning by W. C. Mc
Arthur, clerk of the United States court,
acting as an extradition commissioner for
the United States. The trial of Greenwell
had dragged along many months. The
Mexican government had asked for him
and had sent an attorney here and wit
nesses to prosecute the case for the Issu
ance of a requisition. Greenwell when ar
rested was acting as superintendent of cou
etiuctlon of some publlo work In Daven
port. He waa a conductor on a railroad in
Mexico, and it was alleged that he and
3. H. Stanfleld, an engineer, went Into the
country near Tamplco, Mexico, In April,
1902, and that Stanfleld"! dead body waa
afterward found. The extradition was re
sisted on the ground there was no evidence
against Greenwell, and the commissioner
this morning sustained this view of the
matter and ' released htm. The case was
hard fought and representatives of the
engineers and of the conductors were sent
to wstch the interests of their respective
sides.
To Assess Car Lines.
The state executive council had before
it this morning representatives of the Ar
mour Refrigerator lines and other freight
and car lines doing business In Iowa and
took up the matter of making an assess
ment of these lines, something that has
never before been attempted In the state.
They have made reports, but hardly In
accordance with the desires of the coun
cil, and the matter of assessing them on
a fair basts will be difficult But they
have before this evaded taxation entirely
and the last legislature made a law which
la at least a start in the direction of as
sessing them. They will pay. taxes direct
to the state and not pay local taxes.
War on Drpartmont Stores.
The clerks' union of this city started out
this week to compel the department stores
to pay clerks better wages and to pay up to
the scale of the unions. The department
stores are aald to be employing a large
number of young women and girls and boys
at very low wages, and as a consequence
of this thoy are declared by the labor
leaders and by the women of the different
women's clubs of the city to be pernicious
In their Influences. There are a number
of the large Sitores in the city refusing to
employ union labor and the war promises
to be an Interesting one.

Lightning entirely destroyed the home of
Justice E. L .Livingston, one-half mile
north of Baylorvllle, at II o'clock last night
Mr. and Mrs. Livingston had barely time
to rescue their little babe and escape with
their lives. While the house and furniture
were insured, the loss will be almost $1,000
above the Insurance. It was during the
storm about 11 o'clock that ths stroks
came. Mr. and Mrs. Livingston were sud
denly aroused with the awful report and
the blasa of the burning house. Mr. Liv
ingston arose and endeavored to put out
the fire, but was almost suffocated, and
with his wife and child made his escape
from the house, It being Impossible for
him to save it A house three miles north

NEW - YORK. July tl. Bear attacks,
coupled with further forced liquidation, re
sulted in a new low level for a number ot
securities in today's stock market De- J
dines ranged from IS to S, while some of
ths better grades of Stocks showed a Ions
of a point or mors. Railway shares of the
better class were moderstely firm, but In
little demand, and there was no evidence
of bargain buying In the Issues.
The attack on prices began at the open
ing and was continued at more or less reg
ular Intervals throughout the day. In fact
lowest prices for some issues came almost
at the close.
United States Steel shares were severely
pounded with net losses of 2iW2H In
the common and preferred, respectively.
The sales of these stocks aggregated over
1M,000 shares over 132,000 shares of common
changing handa Trading in steel stocks
comprised considerably more than one
fifth of the day's business. Steel common
clossd at 23. a low-record figure, while the
preferred stock touched 76.
Besides the steel Issues the lowest prloes
ever recorded were scored by Tennessee
Coal and Iron, Colorado Fuel land Iron,

There was the usual large crop of rumors,
but nothing definite could be learned. At
tome of the banks which have close Wall
ntreet relations it was said that a number
of loans had been called.
Much of today's selling was for out-of-town
account The west was again a heavy
seller, the gossips declaring that a prom
inent 8t. Louts interest had been forced
to sell out a line of 40,000 shares.
The day was npt, however, without some
news of a favorable character. Erie di
rectors Increased the dividend on first pre
ferred to a i per cent basis and the quar
terly report of Tennessee coal showed a
surplus Increase of over tSOO.OOO, with an
Increase of almost 900,000 for the half
year. In spite of this the stock was among
the weakest In the list. The steady de
cline created great uneasiness.
