It burnt out some telephones in the city ami at the iarm of W J. New man, three miles east, tho wind re solved itself into a small sized tor nado. Ir picked un Mr. Newman's chicken bonne and his cow shed and carried them several hundred feet. It gave n consideration to the twenty odd hens that were just about to come off with their broods, bur scattered them to the four winds. The track of the infant tornado was very narrow, ft passed between the house and the barn, barely missing the houso and tearing a few shingles from the barn. This storm was- similar to the" freak" lust Wednesday that visited the farm of Homy Deyke. twelve miles north of Columbu That storm picked np a corn crib and carried it about a quarter of a milo and drove the onds ol the board roof deep into tho ground. Oflr-r out-buildings standing near were untouched Both parties were insured and Bccher, Hockenborger and Chambers happened to hold the policies for both. Schiller Celebration.

(Special) Boone county was visited last evening about 4 o'clock with a small tornado. A cloud came up from tho southwest which looked somewhat threatening but little attention was given to it as the day had not been exceptionally warm and no one seem ed to think of the possibility of a storm of that nature. But it came suddenly and lasted a moment. Dam age is reported from Cedar Rapids, a little town southwest of here and a few out-buildings were destroyed in the neighboring country. The most damage that was done in Albion was the large plate glass front of Becker Company's store. The awning was broken and blew against the window breaking them in. About 1250.00 is estimated as the loss in this case. This vicinity has not been visited by a storm of this nature in years past and when the dust and clouds caused tho sun to disappear many were frighten ed as the condition of the elements were a great deal less destructive than they appeared to be.

Tho church was comfortably filled with an au dience of music lovers that inspired tho best efforts of the performers. The program was skilfully varied to prevont monotony. And the selections were assigned to conform to the in dividual tastes and proficicnev of tha pupils. This careful arrangement combined with most thorough training makes it very difficult to point out individ ual excellence?. And this is the high est compliment we are able to pay to the mushcal and teaching ability of Miss Galley. The art of getting the best out of each individual pupil is the mark of the perfect instructor. And the work ot Miss Galley's pupils last night is certainly a high compli ment to her ability along this line. Every particiiont in the program is worthy of special mention. We there fore withold special mention of three or fonr who showed especial talent. We have listened to many pupils' recital at musical conservatories that would not rank in tho fame c'a:s v-.ith the tecitul last night. Weather Report.

Cattle have been on blue grass pasture since the first week in April. Winter wheat shows a rank growth, bnt rome field seem to be too thick. There is a good stand of spring fmall grain and tbe plant has a vigorous and healthy ap pearance. There will be few if any peaches this year. Apples have received no injury yet, wild plum9 are in full bloom and there will be some fruit at least. The farmers seem to be determined to raise such a crop of corn this year as they never raised before. So may it be.

NEW YORK WANTS FARMERS State Agricultural Department Will Endeavor to Attract Immigrants. Albany. X". Y.. May 10. With the view cf attracting to this state desir able immigrant farmers and farm la borers, the fetato department of agri culture is preparing to collect and dis seminate itdcrmation of tho farm and dairy advantages whih New York state offer.-). One of the several baud leaps with which the farmers of this stato have to contend is tho scarcity of farm laborers. For many years the state agricul tural department has observed that foreign larm hands and small farmers seldom settle in the cast, but travel straight through to the west.

(Saturday s Daily) The Argus is made tho official paper of the city of Columbus at i'J per cent of the legal rate, tho lowest bm sub mitted. It was given to tho Argus oy the votes of Conncilnien Gallev.Gray. and Clark and Mayor Dickinson. Councilmen Greisen, Dietrich and Zinnecker voted against. The Telegram is given tho oty job printing at $27 for tho year. This was the lowest bid submitted and the en tire council voted the contract to tho Telegram. The Journal gets what tho little boy shot at. Its only consolation is the fact that in its bids it endeavored to keep prices bomewhero near a living figure although without much prelim inary preachment to that effect. With a full council present, tho clerk opened and read the bids fur the legal printing for tho coming year. The Journals bid was 50 per cent of the legal rate for publication in tho Weekly Journal or 10 per cent for publication in both Daily andWeekly. The Argus bid 31) por cont. ThoTele gram's envelope wns opened last. It was couched iu those well known phrases of gentlo courtesy and lowly meekness, simple, chaste aud elegant. and was to the effect that tho -telegram would be pleased and grateful if the honorable mayor and still moro honorable council could see their wax clear to appoint tho Telegram as tho official city paper, to do printimr for the city. For this service the Tele gram asked no compensation, but would be pleased to receive any small sum or sums of money that tjie coun cil in its wisdom might bestow. If the council thonirht tho worn should be done for nothing tho Tcleirram was willing to do it for nothing ; if the council thought it was worth about a quarter tn Telegram would be pleased to receive the quarter, with two per cent off for cash ; in fact tho Telegram was willing to take any thing on earth, either money or chat tels, in any amount whatsoever, but it did want to be the ollicial paper. The Telegram in its communication made no reference to tho inviolability of the legal rate It did not recom mend that the city officials should be paid their salaries on tho samo basis as it proposed to do iho printing. With these few remarks tho Telegram would close, and begged to remain most obediently and most respectfully, etc., etc. Mr. Gallev moved that tho Argus bid be accepted and Mr. Clark second ed. Mr. Greisen moved as a substi tute that tbe constructive bid of the Telegram be accented, tho rate to be fixed by tbe council at :w por cent of the legal rate, just one jn;r ceut lower than the bid of the Argus. 1 'of ore. the vote was taken both Mr. Gray and Mr. Galley called attention to the very patent fact that this would be allowing one bidder to make his bid alter the bids of tbo other competitors had been opened and read. Air. Clark expressed himself at tome length, ray ing that if the Telegram had submit ted in good faith a bid or : per cent without waiting to seo whnt tho other papers bid he would be glad to vote for it. As it was, ho considered it his duty to vote against it. Gray, Galley and the mayor also voted no, while Greisen, Dietricbs nnd Ziniiecker vot ed aye. The bid of the Argus was then accepted by the same vote. While all hands recogni.cd that the Telegram's movo was a very foxy scheme and worthy of its fow author. it was considered to be a trifle be neath the plane on which a reputable business concern or a public official should operate. Before the final action was taken, Councilman Dietricbs mado tho old familiar motion that the Telegram be made the official paper at 50 per cent. This brought up a discussion as to the comparative circulation of the Tele gram and the Argus, which was not decided. The motion of Mr. Dietrich--was voted down by the same vote of four to three. Proceeding to the job printing bids, the Journal bid aggregated i 20, the ArgUB tJS.50 and the Telegram 27. Mr. Galley, republican, moved that the contract be given to the Telegram as tbe lowest bidder Mr. Gray, re publican, seconded the motion.and for tbe first time the council voted unan imously on a printing proposition. Other business transacted was tho approving of various bonds ot city employees aud the tlirce bank.- of tho city which are dt-ignated as city de positories. Several petitions for tho location of electric lights were leferred to com mittee. The proposition of George Randall for sprinkling the -fleets was accept ed. Judge Reeder, r presenting tho city library board, appeared before the council to request as liberal appropri ation for the library as possible. He called attention to the fact that tbe statute allows a levy of two mills, which would amount to -?1200 a year. and urged that they be given that amount for the coming year The library is badly in nped of new books and repairs for old ones and there is no money available. Jndge Reeder spoke convincingly of the educational and moral vslne of a public library and gave eome llgnrcs showing the great amount of u.-e that the public made of our library. During tho past year more than 10,000 loans of books have been made.
