Fearful YornaIo In Iowa.


Sr. LOUIS, July 3.
The st, Louis county bonds protested
In New York yesterday, were protest.
| ed for non-payment in gold. The coun-
ty had plenty of currency TO take them
up, but gold WAS demanded.
The petition oiJno. +. Darby, In bank
ruptcy has been filed; his assets amount
to $642, ,653, and liabilities TO S29. .919.
The amount of import duties collect
ed here in the month OF June amount
to 1927 1865, in coin.
A promiuent Government Contractor
lust from Fort Shelly, makes the tol-
lowing report: No rain of any account
has fallen, north or west OF Sioux city
and but little beyond Omaha. The
Missouri Is rising at these points, but
very little, and that little not attributa-
BILE to rain below Council Bluffs. The
damage Is very great from Philips to
Craig's stations, on the Council Bluffs,
however, the track is from three to
four feet under water, there having
been no trains for four days.
Captain Bartle of the steamer Noun
taiueer reports that at creek below
Council Bluffs he saw twenty seven
dead bodies taken out: The bodies OF
men women and children drowned
from the sudden rise of frivers and over
flow. OF the fiat Prarie land. From every
quarter below Kansas city the re-
port comes OF the loss of life and pro-
perty.
The Indians are greatly dissatisfied
and say they don't understand or like
the quakers, preferring Harney as they
know Just what they can do with him
and what to depend upon. II prOvt'
sions are not sent them promptly,
there will be trouble.
A dispatch from Sioux City says the
steamer Amelia Lsborge arrived there
this evening, from Buford. She reports
Indian outrages at Grand river and Big
Chevenne. The whites were greatly
excited, the Indians having received no
supplies and having been repeatedly
deceived, are firing into steamboats,,
driving off stock and threatening death
to all whites.
Advices from Dubuque, Iowa, say
that one OF the most fearful storms ever
known has just passed through the
lower part of Clinton county, 1t being
no more nor less than violent lorna
do, which pursued nearly the same
path marked out by the famous Ca
manche hurricane in 1860. Nothing was
able to Withstand its progress. fences
were swept away like chah, trees were
wrenched out by the roots cattle; hogs
and poultry were taken up into the alr
and carried great distance.

NASH II1LsI JUIy -
The candidates for Governor met at
London to-day, and had their usual
tussle. To morrow, at Chattanooga,
they close their engagements in East
Tennessee. The debate at London was
not numerously attended, but the
monotony was varied by personal in

J. Brownlow stepped upon the stage
and said he was personally responsible

that nothing personal was intended.

The instructions to Minister Sickles

Mr.. T. L. JONES, of Natchek, Miss,
has practically tested on the steam fer
ry- boat James Thompson, plying be-
tween Louisville and Jeffersonville, his
patented combined high and low pres.
sure steam engine, which, upon trial,
has proved TO have all the advantages
claimed for it over the present high
pressure steam engine. The invention
worked to perfection at the start, with.
out the slightest alteration from the
original plan, giving the present high
pressure steam engine the great advan-
tage OF a vacuum. with but little addi-
tional machinery and cost, increasing
the speed of steamboats, by giving their
paddle wheels three more revolu-
tions per minute without additional
pressure of steam, or using more steam
than they usually do.

LOOK TO YOUR WALL-PAPER.-The
filthy custom of pasting one wallpaper
over another Till thickness Of an
eighth of an inch or more is accumuIa.
ted is too common, and is attended with
the worst consequences. This, as as
cert@ined by the Lancet, was the cause
OF the puzzlinS offensive smell at
KniGhtsbridge Barracks, England, that
recently threatened the whole estab-
lishment with fever. The examination
of the drains and taking up of the floors
revealed nothing, while the introduce
ton of increased means OF ventilation
left the evil as it was. At last an ex-
animation was made of the wallpaper
ing, when it was found that one paper
wns pasted over another till thickness
was accumulated amounting in one
case to fourteen layers. Between these
layers there was rotten paste, in which
fungi and even maRGOts germinated;
while the wall being hollow, the stencil
spread into the passages and over the
establishment.

cause much anxiety.
A stroug Republican manifesto has

Travelled north and south, and lasted
from five to ten seconds. at Cairo
three distinct shocks occurred at 2:15 in

quite light, but the second was as

Furniture was slightly moved, and
windows and crOSkery ratified at fear

tin&uished by the absence OF vibration.
or rolling motion, the only movement
being a trembling one. 1t seemed to
pass from northwest to southeast. A
dull roaring, as of hurricane, was re-
ported by some. The whole time, from
first to last, is variously estimated at
from thirty to ninety seconds, with
barely appreciabie intermission be-
tween the shocks. The weather had
been sultry for several days, and storms
of greater or less severity are reported
each day within circle of fifty miles.

A terrible homicide was committed
at Steubenville, o., on Saturday night,
about 10 o'clock. An old feud existed
between Jas. Colson and Jno. McCaf
frey, working at the Jefferson Rolling
NH, ia that city They met in beer
saloon on Saturday night about nine
o'clock, when McCafrey called Colson
a coward, and slapped him in the
mouth with his open hand. Colson
was afraid of McCafrey, and did not
resist the insult, but after McCafIrey left
the drinking house, Colson obtained a
dirk knife, and started in search of Nc
Cafrey. Meeting him in font of Coch-
rams dry good store, corner of Fourth
and Market Streets, be at once COM
menced an attack, disembowling Nc
Gafrey, who died from the result Of
bis injuries Z at 2 o'clock next morn
ing. Colson surrendered himself to
the authorities on Sunday. Beth par
ties are married.
The peanut trade can no longer be
ranked among the small things. II is
said the consumption of peanuts re-
ceived great impetus during the war;
the soldiers of both armies beguiling
their camping hours in Dixie, by eating
peanuts of their own digging and bak-
ing. The peanut crop has become the
most profitable one that can be raised
in Eastern Virginia. Fifty-bushels to
the acre is a fair crop and they bring
two dollars fifty cents per bushel. Vir-
ginia has ceased raising Presidents, and
now has taken to raising peanuts.
In Iowa the planting of trees is en-
oouraged by Law. Every acre of for

planted tax is exempted on fifty dollars

shade trees and hedges along the high
ways. There are now maple forests in
several counties, and sugar made where

A recent examination of the books in
the United States Treasurer's Office ex-
hibits the fact that the public debt reach
ed its highest point in August 1865,
when it was $9,757,6s9, 81. At the
present time it is 50, 525, ,l57, ,ss5, de-

of 1928, 5sl,6 In August 1866,
there were out only $685. 900 in Pa
cife railroad bonds, while there are now
$50, 6,s52OOe, so that the decrease in
the public debtexclusive of these bonds
is s2s4I25,6s6, or nearly eighty mil
