CretnIoM.
Editor Journal: This pUce was
visited on Juue llth by a terrific
storm of wiud accompanied by hail
and rain, which did great damage
to the crops and buildings in its
path. A fearful looking cloud was
seen about 5 p. m. iu the northwest,
traveling with immense velocity be
fore the wind. "We hoped it would
pass over, when suddenly a deafen
ing crash of thunder with a blinding
flash of lightning seemed to cleave
the cloud, and instantly the floods
descended as though a river had
been lifted from its bed and dis
charged upon us, with tons of hail
stones. Any one not having wit
nessed such a scene can scarcely
believe its truth. The storm did
not last over five minutes, but it
nearly ruined the work of a year.
I saw a field of barley which was
heading finely, cut as though a
mowiug machine had been through
it; fields of corn that had been cul
tivated are as browu as though non
planted. Of course we cannot tell
at this early day what the actual
loss will be. I saw one house which
looked as though peppered with
shot; wherever a hailstone struck it
the paint was knocked off. Many
incidents of interest could be given
but I must curtail for want of space ;
houses were shifted from their foun
dations, scarcely ono escaped with
out broken window glass; stables
and outhouses blown to pieces;
wagons overthrown ; frightened hor
ses aud cattle running before the
gale; had it lasted half au hour
where would Creston have been?
Providentially no lives were lost
although thero wore many narrow
escapes, promiucnt among them was
that of W. N. McCandlish aud fam
ily. They were out driving and
when uear home they were caught
by the hurricane; the wagon-box
was blown from tho running-gear
and he, his wife aud sou thrown to
the ground. They were considera
bly bruised from the fall, but no
serious injury was sustained.
Ou Sunday morniug F. "W. An
derman found a bed of hailstoues
like marbles in his slough covered
with drift, from which he could
scoop a milk pail full there was a
wagon load there; a large deposit
yet remains, 3G hours after tbe
storm.
The storm cleared in time to allow
a good attendance at the anniversa
ry of the Ladies Missionary Society,
held in the evening where a pleas
ant time was enjoyed with inter
esting exercises, and plenty of cream
and cake. A fine view of the eclipse
among the attractions.

A Plea Tor Wholesale IIoum-m.
Ed. Journal : For some time
past the subject of a wholesalo busi
ness for Columbus has been quietly
discussed in my own thoughts with
perhaps only one or two exceptions
in suggestions to some of the citi
zens. There is a large popula
tion living in the immediate vicinity
and adjoining counties and within
fifty miles west and uorth that have
to be supplied with goods and gro
ceries principally from Chicago and
St. Louis, and if any, a very few
from New York City. One would
scarcely believe that within that
radius there is a bona Jlde popula
tion of not less than 50,332, all of
whom have to be fed and clothed.
Columbus Is very centrally located
to this population, and by fair deal
ing and content with reasonable
profits, some of our citizens could in
a short time doubtless build up a
large and paying wholesalo business.
Throe locations with suitable busi
ness rooms have been selected, in
my own miud, aB suitable for the
transaction of such business, and
already I learn Mr. Ed. Sheehan has
in his department of business open
ed out a wholesale feature with a
very fair prospect of doing a good
business.
One other location for tbe hand
ling of dry goods, etc., in a whole
sale way is found in the ample
rooms with such a stock already on
bands as to begin the wholesale
business at once and in a very brief
period L. Kramer could furnish the
necessary goods to supply his por
tion of tbe demand of the 150,332
consumers.
Marshall Smith has control of
spacious buildings and rooms nicely
constructed for a large trade in the
grocery business, which can be
changed, if necessary, at a trifling
expense, to do bis part to supply the
wants of this large demand.
"What I desire to impress upon
these citizens is the importance of
the fact of an early start in the sev
eral departments before the same
shall be occupied by other parties.
These thoughts are only the sugges
tions of one mind, but they have
produced such an impression upon
that mind that it can give no place
to tbe idea that any one who will
carefully engage in tbe enterprises
referred to, can possibly fail of at
taining success.
A Citizen.
The recent race at Paris adds au
other feather to Columbia's plume,
by J. R. Keene's Foxhall, an Ameri
can horse, gained the victory. The
coutest was a close and exciting one,
specially the finish. The London
Sportsman says the Americana have
a great deal to be prond of in secur
ing both the Derby and the Grand
Prix de PariB. Foxhall's victory was
celebrated in the evening at the
"Washington Club, and the American
Club was illuminated.

Lst Sunday week occurred one
of tbe most destructive storms that
ever visited central Iowa. The
bail storm in a part of Polk county
broke much window glass and in
some instances the hailstones crash
ed through weatherboards and
plastering. The stones, which were
the size of goo?o eggs, also killed a
number of live stock and poultry,
as well as rabbits and birds Durimr
the storm tho Baptist church was
struck iu Dcs Moines, and large
holes bored through tbe roof. In
tho same vicinity tbe timber was
much damaged and some of it torn
up by the roots and the crops lev
eled. Near Rising Sun a dozen
bouses were blown away, a man
named Crickson was killod and bis
wife and baby were blown a dis
tance of a quarter of a mile. The
house of John "Walters was demol
ished and his baby killed. In Ca
leph township four houses were
blown down. Iu Grant township a
child of D. Johnson was killed, and
several houses blown down. Tbe
storm was very severe in other lo
calities, destroying property and
lite.
The cyclonce that visited Kansas
last week is horrible to coutemplate.
A few items of its terrible effects
will give tbe reader some idea of
how fearful it was to witness. Near
Olivet a horse waB lifted out of tbe
stable, carried over a high mound,
and set down on tbe ground iu a
corn field a mile away. Powell's
fine orchard was totally destroyed,
troes beiug torn out of tbe ground
aud twisted into a thousand frag
ments. Several persons were killed
and a large uumbor badly injured.
It appears to have been a favoiable
day for terrible storms, similar ones
baviug visited portions of Iowa,
Kansas, Ohio and Missouri.
Archmshoi' Choke, Ireland's cler
ical champion, made one of bis most
forcible speeches tbe other day at
Tipperary to an audience of 4,000
people. He recommended to tho
people organization aud'euligbtened
public opinion as the only weapons
which should be used by the Irish
people, and only the mismanagement
of the leaders and the indiscretion
of the citizens could prevent
the ultimate success of the agitation.
He was opposed to stone-throwing
as unmanly warfare, and firmness
vith moderation, and the acceptance
of the land bill as an instalment of
justice.
The State Democratic convention
held at Des Moines on tbe 10th inst.
waB largely attended, and a full
state ticket nominated. Judge L.
G. Kenne for governor; G. M.
Walker for lieutenant governor;
H. B. Hendershott judge of the su
preme court; "Walter II. Butler
superintendent of public instruction.
The Grcenbu'k convention held
in Ohio last week nominated a full
state ticket. For governor, John
Lcitz, of Seneca ; lieutenant govern
or, Cliarlc3 Jenkins, of Mahoning;
supreme judge, Joseph Watson, of
Knox: attorney rner:il, K M. Tut
tle, of Like; treasurer, W. F. Lloyd,
of Montgomery; moinbnr of the
board of public works, W. L. Mor
risou, of Ashtabula.
The roll of the house of repre
sentatives of the forty-seventh con
gress contains tho name of Cannon
as delegate from Utah, put there by
tbe clerk. Campbell claims tbe seat
simply on tbe governor's certificate.
This action will eutitle Cannon to
take his seat and compel Campbell
to be tbe contestant.
