The large barn of Church Howe &
Son at Walnut Grove stock farm was
totally consumed by fire last week with
all its contents except the horses, which
were saved. Between sixty and seventy
tons of hay, 500 bushels of corn, some
twenty carriages, buggies, sulkies and
carts, twenty sets of harness, saddles
and blankets, together with wagons
and farm implements which were stor
ed in the burn, were consumed. '1 lie
tire extended to the large granary ad
joining, which contained about 0.000
bushels of wheat which was destroyed.
Origin of the fire is not known. The
loss is about $14,000, with $8,000 insur
ance.
William Wiygext, a Valley county
farmer, has fed a good deal of wheat
to his horses and hogs, at one time and
another, and has learned that it should
be fed sparingly. It is a strong feed,
and if given to the stock in generous
quantities they will not chew it prop
erly and loss of grain and injury to
the stock are the consequences, liack
in Michigan he had learned that hogs
turned onto wheat stubble did well and
when he came to Nebraska and found
corn high priced and wheat plenteous,
he began feeding it and shoveled the
grain out bountifully, just as he would
corn. Hut his hogs did not do well.
By and by the supply of wheat got low
and he began to be more sparing, and
his hogs picked up amazingly.
A Beatrice correspondent of the Lin
coln Journal relates how a Gage coun
ty farmer demonstrated the benefits to
be derived from irrigation. J. M. C.
Jones is one who proposed last spring 1
to resist a drouth and is now reaping a
harvest. His place is irrigated by
pumping water trotn the river to a hill
from where it is allowed to run back
over the land. Some of the results are
so large that many doubt them when
told. He raised tomatoes for the can
ning factory which have averaged
twelve to sixteen ounces in weight, aud
on one vine were counted 310 tomatoes
in various stages of development. He
estimates his crop will yield an average
I of two tons per acre.

lo starting' in North Central Iowa
swept through Palo Alto, Hancock.
Kossuth anil Worth counties, that
state, and through the southeastern
portion of Minnesota and passed off
nto Wisconsin. According to the
most reliable reports so far received
from the stricken region, over forty
persons were killed and a score or
more injured, while great damage
was done to villages and farms.
A message from Emmettsburg,
Iowa, reports that twenty people
were killed there.
At Osage, Iowa, five or more per
sons were killed and great damage
done.
Near North Cerro Gordo, the torna
do destroyed eight farm houses and
killed Ellery McKercher, John Pat
terson, I). L. Haddow and Mrs. F. D.
T. Haddow. Miss Maggie Baker,
Harold McKercher, Alice McKercher,
Miss Edith Bentley and James O’Neil,
Sr., were fatally injured.
There was much des trnction of life
and property at Algona, Iowa, and
east of there.
At Eowther, Io.wa, a town of 100
people, the storm destroyed the Chi
cago Great Western depot and grain
elevators, a store and several dwell
ings. The Chicago express on the
Chicago Great Western road was de
layed. clearing the demolished build
ings from the tracks.
The villages of Riceville and New
Haven, Iowa, were badly damaged by
the storm, many houses being wrecked
and several persons injured.
North of Mason City, Iowa, two
persons were killed and Mr. and Mrs.
Haddon and a little child were blown
half a mile and fatally injured.
The storm struck Spring Valley,
Minn., at 10 o'clock last night. The
Winona and Southwestern depot,
windmill, water tank, oil tank and
cold storage house of the Schelihas
Brewing company of Winona were
utterly destroyed, together with a
dozen or more houses. Three persons
were killed and twenty othere in
jured, some of whom will die. A

the Wisconsin side, destroying several
houses and other structures, but in
juring no one as far as reported.
In the village of Leroy the business
portion was totally wrecked by the
tempest which swept up from the
Southwest. The loss of life was
small, only four people being killed,
but this was owing to the fact that
the residence portion was largely
spared, but barns were blown away,
cattle killed and shade trees uprooted.
Among the buildings wrecked were
Milwaukee depot, three elevators,
three flax warehouses and the opera
house. In the last named a party of
about thirty couples were enjoying a
dancing party. Two dead bodies,
those of young Finley and Gilbert
son, have been taken out. The others
were injured and bruised, but prob

the Caswell hotel. This building was
filled with a new stock of goods. The
building and contents were totally
consumed. The fire communicated to
Smart & Butler’s hardware store and
this was also burned, as was also the
Caswell hotel, the bare brick walls
alone remaining. Strenuous efforts
of the citizens saved the town from
further ravages by fire.
The losses by fire and storm are
estimated at about SM5.000. Some of
the wrecked buildings were crushed
as if an immense weight from above
had fallen on them.
It is reported from Austin that the
town of Mason was blown down and
that Cresco was damaged.

I
THE POPE AND HIS POLICY.
Bishop Keane Uliranw' Various Matters
Observed by Him In Home.
ItALTmoBK, Md., Sept 34.-—IMshop
J. J. Keene, rector of the Catholic
university, Washington, who arrived
here last evening as the guest of Car
dinal Gibbons, went to Home July 30
for the purpose of personally seeing
the pope and telling him of the Cath
olic university and the condition of
affairs in that institution. He had
two audiences with the pope, who ex
pressed himself as delighted with the
state of affairs at the university.
In speaking ot tne relations or me
juirinal to the Vatican, Bishop Keane
said that the policy ot the pope, in
piew of the recent overtures in Italy,
was the union of the church with the
ijreat democratic powers of the future
—that is America and France. This
was his hope, and toward it all his re
markable energies were bent. He, as
a clear sighted statesman, was op
posed to militarism and despotism and
was consequently in sympathy .with
France rather than with the triple
alliance,of which Italy formed a part.
The pope thought that a universal
suffrage, controlled by moral and re
ligious influences, should decide the
great social questions of the future.
The social question the pope recog
nized as the great one of the future.
Bishop Keane considers the pope
the greatest living man to-day. He
is 84 years of age, always rises not
later than 6 o’clock, does not go to
bed before 1 or 2 o'clock in the morn
ing and is the most abstemious person
imaginable. "He eats almost noth
ing,” said the bishop, “and is the
most ethereal human being I have
ever seen, llis mental and spiritual
nature are so developed and his will
power and nerve force are so great
that these sustain him, and he is as
well as he was the last time I saw
him.”
Bishop Keane said the pope was in
terested in American politics, and
that he was well informed on these
subjects. He was profoundly grate
ful for the reception of Mgr. Satolli
in this country, and of course much
interested in his career.
Bishop Keane, in speaking of Italy,
says that it was bankrupt and was
now sustained by Germany, and that
the general impression in Europe was
that the Italian monarchy cbuld not
last. In the reconstruction of Italian
affairs the independence of the pope
would be recognized.
ALL QUIET IN HAWAII.
Interest Centered In the Elections of Oc
tober 89—No Koyalltt Nominations.
San Francisco, Sept., 24. — The
steamer Australia, which arrived to
day from Honolulu, brought the fol
lowing advices up to last Saturday:
The coming election to be held Oc
tober 29, is creating considerable talk.
From present indications there will
be little opposition to the government
candidates. No Royalist nominations
have been made yet, though Paul
Neumann, confidential adviser of the
ex-queen, has been freely sopken of
as a candidate for senator.
One of the clauses of the new con
stitution is that all government offi
cials who have not taken the oath of
allegiance to the republic by Septem
ber 1 will be discharged. This rule
will be carried out even to the exclu
sion of women school teacher^, a few
of whom will not give up their allegi
ance to Liliuokalani. A majority of
the native soldiers have taken the re
quired oath, however, and stand
pledged to support the present gov
ernment.
One American, three German and
one English men-of-war have been in
Honolulu's harbor for the past week.
The German's left a few days ago and
the Charleston departed yesterday
for the scene of the Corean war. The
Hyacinth, an English war ship, leaves
to-day for a short cruise. This has
given birth to the usual royalist
rumors of the queen’s restoration, but
no belief is expressed by the govern
ment in any attempt towards rebel
lion.
L. A. Thurston, Hawaiin minister to
the United States, was a passenger on
the Australia. He is going to Wash
ington to resume his official duties
there.
SCREEN LAW OVERTHROWN.
Judge West of the Sixth Kansas Dis
trict Decides Against the Miners.
Fort Scott, Kan., Sept. 24.—Judge
J. S. West of the Sixth judicial dis
trict, in chambers to-day, decided in
the case of the state of Kansas vs. A.
B. Kirkwood of Crawford county that
. the new law governing the mining
and weighing of coal in Kansas was
unconstitutional and dismissed the
defendant. This is the first decision
of this law. It was obtained by the
Wear Coal company, which openly
violated the law in order to test it’s
constitutionality.
The Missouri & Kansas, the Durkee
and other coal companies will im
mediately ignore the law and resume
the old custom of weighing coal at
the mines.
HUDSON CHANCES HIS MIND.
The Congressmau May Reseek the Pop
ulist Xomluntion.
Topeka. Kan., Sept. 24.—A dispatch
from the Third district says that Con
gressman T. J. Hudson, who with
drew from the race after having be
gun a canvass for re-election, is in
the field seeking the nomination
again. The dispatch adds that Hud
son quit originally because he had
been assessed $1,500 by the district
committee. Chairman Breidenthal of
the Populist state committee denies
the story.
Ohio Miners Reject a Compromise.
Massillon', Ohio, Sept. 21.—The
Minglewood coal miners at North
Lawrence have voted to refuse the
operator’s offer of sixty-five cents, or
five cents more than the original
offer, and resolved to hold out for
seventy-five cents. This is believed
to foreshadow the defeat of attempts
at a compromise initiated by the state
board of arbitration.

A MOTHERS STORY.
HAPPINESS COMES AFTER YEARS
OF SUFEERING.
The Terrible Experience of a Well Known
Official'll Wife—A Story That Ap
peals to Every Mother In
the Land.
From the l imitanooga, lenn., rn».
No county official in East Tennessee
Is better known and more highly es
teemed than Mr. J. C. Wilson, Circuit
Court Clerk of Rhea County, at Dayton,
the home of Mr. Wilson. He enjoys
the confidence and respect of all class
es, and in the business community his
word is as good as his bond. Just now
Mr. Wilson is receiving heartiest con
gratulations from his numerous friends
because of the restoration to robust
health of his estimable wife, who has
for years been a helpless invalid. Mrs.
Wilson’s high standing in society, and
her many loveable traits of character
have won her a host of friends, and her
wonderful recovery has attracted wide
spread attention.
As the Press was the medium of
bringing to the invalid lady’s atten
tion the remedy that has effected her
remarkable cure, a reporter was sent
to Dayton to interview Mrs. Wilson, in
order that the general public might
have the benefit of the sufferer's expe
rience and be made aware of the treat
ment that wrought such a marvelous
change in her condition. The reporter
was welcomed at the Wilson home, and
the enthusiastic lady with becoming
reluctance gave the history of her af
fliction and the manner In which she
was relieved:
“Yes,” said Mrs. Wilson, “I was for
8 years an invalid with one of the most
distressing afflictions woman can suffer.
Eor 8 years 1 moped around, dragging
myself with difficulty and pain out of
bed. My little ones went untrained
and were greatly neglected, while I
looked listlessly and helplessly at the
cheferless prospect before me and them.
I suffered the most intense pains in the
small of my back, and these seemed
even greater in the region of the
stomach, extending down to the groins.
I suffered agony sleeping or awake.
Despair is no word for the feeling
caused by that dreadful sensation of
weakness and helplessness 1 constantly
experienced.
“I was treated for my trouble by sev
eral local physicians, but they were
able to give me only temporary relief
by the use of sedatives and narcotics
1 had almost given up all hope of ever
securing permanent relief when I saw
an account in the Press of a cure which
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had effected.
I decided to try them, as I knew the
lady who had been cured and had great
confidence in her statement. 1 began
to take the pills in October, 1893, and
in two months I was doing light house
work and attending to the children
without any bad effects or weakness,
such as 1 had formerly experienced.
Hitherto, I had been unable to retain
any food, but now my appetite grew
stronger, and with it came back that
old, healthy and hearty tone of the
stomach. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
cured me and I assure you the cure has
brought a great change in our home.
I can now rejoice in my husband’s suc
cess, for I feel that I have something
to live for. Who has a better right to
feel this than a mother? One thing
more. I have recommended these pills
to others, and many of the women of
Dayton have taken them with good re
sults, and it is my greatest pleasure to
recommend to every suffering woman
a remedy that has done so much for
me.”
An analysis proves that Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills for Pale People contain in a
condensed form all the elements nec
essary to give new life and richness to
the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are an unfailing specific for such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica,
neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head
ache, the after effects of la grippe, pal
pitation of the heart, pale and sallow
complexions, that tired feeling result
ing from nervous prostration; all dis
eases resulting from vitiated humors in
the blood, such as scrofula chronic ery
sipelas, etc. They are also a specific
for troubles peculiar to females, such
as suppression, irregularities, and all
forms of weakness. In men they effect
a radical cure in all cases arising from
mental worry, overwork, or excesses of
whatever nature.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple are now manufactured by the Dr.
Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenec
tady, N. \., and are sold in boxes (nev
er in loose form by the dozen or hun
dred, and the public are cautioned
against numerous imitations sold in
this shape) at 50 cents a box, or six
boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all
druggists, or direct by mail from Dr.
Williams’ Medicine Company.
