II isn't only the apo,hacaries who

DR.. HeDsiry, who, TO make matters
worse, was Doctor of the homeopathic

doses, gave child a powder of NOR

did sleep, and is sleeping now, and,

One powder killed It, and SO, the two

IT is very cheering to read that a

scale, is 10 be held in Macon, Ca, in
November mkt. Various great men are
to be invited, including the President

contending armies OF course, this
leads, in the circular of invitation. to
much poetic 'alk about spears and
swords, pruning-hooks and shares.
But the solid fact is better Than the sen
siment. Georgia DEEDS nothing but
rational agriculture, and a practical

is worthy of his hire, to become one of

THOSE WEEDs.-Our hints about
moving the May-weeds have had
their desired effect In many places.
We notice the heretofore, unsightly
appearance of our schoolgrounds has
been changed to a beautiful green
growth of clover which only wanted
room to grow. Sixth street has been
changed so much in appearance by
the use of the scythe rake aud elbow
grease as to be scarcely recognized.
1t presents marked contrast with
" hat it was, or with most of the
other streets in our city now. To
the enterprise, good taste and expense
of our townsmen j. M. Overman is
this marked change due. having by
his own work and the assistance OF
his own hired help, moved the street

to the city council that an ordinance
be passed requiring every one to

Terrible Storm

Our city was again visited last Sat-
urday night with one of those in
tensely severe thunder storms pecu-
liar to this season. The elements
were at war with perfect heat. 1t
commenced lightning in the north
about dark, and continued SEEM
ingly constant sheet of fire for five
hours. About ii o'clock the clouds
gathered in blackness, and the rain
came pouring down for nearly tw"
hours, checking up at intervals
to get another start, and then coming
down harder than ever; but the
main portion of the storm was east
and north of us. In Floyd county it
carried death and destruction in its
course. AT the town of Floyd, near
Charles City, the residence of Mr..
Cunningham was struck by light
ming, and he and his wife were kill
ed. Mr.. Al. 7. Pomeroy, Mail Ag't
on the Cedar Falls and Minnesota
Railroad informs the Waterloo Re
porter that they were both found in
bed on Sunday morning by one of
their neighbors, Mrs. Cunningham
lying on her face apparently instant
ly killed, while Mr.. Cunningham, it
was evident, had struggled consider
ably, and his face was covered with
froth. Both ofthem were discolored
or blackened all over their bodies
A brother of Mr.. Cunningham was
asleep up stairs, but was notawaken-
ed by the storm, and his first knowl-
edge of the terrible fate ofhis brother
and wife was communicated to him
by neighbors. The lightning passed
down the chimney, shattering it
somewhat and the only damage done
to the building was the knocking off
of little plaster.
They had recently been married.
Two other persons were killed by
lightning during the storm, one liv-
ing west of Charles City and one
north. A barn and a number of trees
were also struck in that vicinity.
The crops were considerably dam
aged, the heavy winds blowing down
grain. The passenger train west
Saturday night was overtaken by
the storm and compelled to stop near
Nashville. The Conductor think
ing it unsafe to go on concluded to
wait until daylight. When day
dawned a reconnaissance was made
and several hundred feet of track
was washed away directly in front of
the engine. Had the train gone a
few rods fartherit is impossible to tell
what the result would have been.-
The train did not reach Cedar Falls
until Monday evening.

VALLEY AND SHADow.-We.were
pleased yesterday to receive a call
from Mrs. G. NJ. Hare, of Vinton,
who is now canvassing our city for
the purpose of selling the VALLEY
and Shadow" written by the blind
editor, j. NJ. Dixon. The work and
the author are familiar to our read
ers. No calamity has ever come to
a citizen of our State which has more
universally called forth the sympa-
thies of the people-a talented writer
in the very prime of life, stricken
with the blackness of despair. His
work is one of uncommon interest
and is finding its way into every
household in our State. The sales in
some of the towns have reached
many hundreds. Mr.. Dixon is using
the funds secured from the sale of his
book in the purchase of home for
his family at Marshalltown. We
trust that Mrs. Hare will find a ready
sale for the VALLEY and Shadow in
Cedar Falls.

sad Calamity.


Jimmy aud Harry WOlcott, aged
respectively about III and 16 years,
and sons OLA. Wolcott, station agent
at New Hartford, were drowned In
the Beaver last Saturday afternoon,
about 3 O'Clock, while in bathing
The youngest was wading and venA
turing too far from shore, got into
water about eight feet deep, and be
ing unable to swim, went down.
Jimmy seeing his brother drowning,
made an effort to rescue him, but
being also unable to swim, he was
caught by his brother and both went
under. James Gibson, who was
bathing with the boys, and could
swim, plunged in after them and sue
ceeded in getting the younger one
by the hair, but the ot!l.er brother
coming up at the time seized Gibson
by the arms, aud it was only will,
great difficulty that he succeeded in
extricating himself from his grasp
and got ashore. He gave an alarm
as soon as he could, but it was too
late when assistance arrived. They
were found i'm q few minutes after
help came, but life was extinct
DIR. Spooner did all in his power to
recuscitate them, but without avail.
They were buried on Sunday. The
funeral services We're held at the
Baptist church, and was the largest
ever held in that part ofthe country,
some forty wagons forming the pro.
cession which went to the burying-
ground.
Elder Judson preached very i'm
pressive and appropriate sermon
from Genesis 45:l4. They were plac-
ed side by side in the same grave.
This sad and heartrending affair
has cast gloom over the entire COM
munity, and Mr.. Wolcott has the
sympathles of all in this most trying
affiiction.
Jimmy was one of the brightest
and best of boys, and will he remem-
bered by hundreds as "train boy" on
the Dubuque and Sioux City Rail-
road. He had become good Oper-
ator and was assisting his father at
the station. He was q member of
the Baptist church, and n very up
right young man.
Harry was also good and promis-
ing boy of his years.
We are indebted to l.. d. Tracy, of
Grundy, and Sheriff Smith, of Butler
county, for the above particulars.

Rose was born in Lamott, jackson

years old at the time of her death
She had been sick nearly year, but
her parents never apprehended dam
ger from her disease, until about
three months ago. During the last
three months she declined rapidly,
until last Saturday, when she ex-
pired. She was the youngest of four
children, and, of course. the pet OF
the household.
Having been carefully trained in q
Christian family. she early gave her
heart to God, and seemed to live a
prayerful life, though but a child
Her religious experiences seemed
very remarkable for one of her years,
especially the last few weeks Of her
life. She was member of the M. f.
Church, having been consecrated to
God In Baptism in infancy. and vol

THE CRoPs.-We find the wheat
in this vicinity considerably blight
ed, the fife wheat being the most af-
fected. Some fields have escaped al
most entirely while others will not
yield a two thirds crop. Fields that
a week ago gave promise ola good
yield are found to be seriously in
jured with the blight. Sanford Peck
living south of New Hartford, few
miles, informs us that his wheat is
all right and has no doubt of full
crop. He is of the opinion that
farmers are more scared than hurt.
The storms of last Saturday night
and Monday did no particular dam
age but did not help the condition of
the grain. Oats are considerably lodg-
ed, corn is doing well. From what
we can gather from our State ex-
changes they have had about the
same amount of rain in other places
and the yield promises about an aver.
age with Black Hawk County.

PROBABLY ACCOUNTED FoR.-An

that the coming eclipse affects

whether this same principle would
apply to our Board of Trade last FRI

pared to determine. The unusual
stir 1t is thought was caused by an
over desire to get up a " corner" on

firmness among hackers trade very
soon assumed less fiuctuative ten

with moderate activity, aud it was
thought for the first time since the
war that trade had got on a peace
footing, but fluctuations again pre-
vailed and the result was an effort to
eliminate one of the members by an
exceedingly simple corrective applica-
ton. This was brought about by q
general effort among two of the lead
ing active buyers to see which could
"rule the roost" seconded by num-
Der of less active spirits who wanted
to see the fun. The object was reach
