Paper is much better to put under
Il carpet than straw. It's warmer,
thinner, and makes less noise in
walking over il. 4 fair carpet can
be made for a room not in constant
use, by pasting several thicknesses OF
newspaper on the floor, over them a
layer of wall paper, and giving il a
coat of varnish. In cold weather j
have often placed newspapers be-
tween my bed quilts, knowing two
thickne--es Of paper are as warm as "A
quilt. If il is necessary to step upon
a chair, always lay a paper ON 1T;
this saves rubbing the varnish OFF.

Waste Paper for Household
Use.

Few housekeepers have time to
black their stoves every day, or even
every week. Many wash them in
either clear water or dish water.
'Ihis keeps them clean, but they look
very brown. After II stove has once
been thoroughly BACKED, it can be
kept looking perfectly well for a
long time by rubbing it with old
paper every morning.
If occasionally find spot of gra-
w or frait.juice that the paper will
not take OIL, l rub itwith wet cloth
but do not put on water enough to
take off the backing. I find that
rubbing with paper is a much nicer
way of keeping my tea-kettle, coffee
pot and teapot bright and clean,
than the old way of rubbing them
in suds. (The inside of coffee and
tea-pots should DO rinsed In clear
water, and never in the dishwater.
Rubbing with dry paper is also
tho best way Of polishing knives,
spoons, and tin-Ware after securing.
This saves wetting the knife-han-
dies. Iffour be held on the paper
IA rubbing tin-ware and spoons, they
shine like new silver. For polishing
windows, mirrors, lamp-chinneys,
etc, ] always use paper in preference

storm ut Iowa City.

IOWA CITY, June y.
About o'clock this afternoon the
most fearful storm that was ever
witnessed in this section broke upon
us. The rain and hail fell in tor
rents for about forty minutes, accom-
panied by fearful wind from the
west. Considerable damage was
done in the city, and it is supposed
that great damage is done to the
crops and fruit in the country. The
dry goods store of ID. Grifiiths, on
Clinton street, was unroofed, and the
entire stock, one Of the finest in the
city, was completely destroyed. The
damage was probably $1,000.
The fine new brick dwelling of
Mrs. II. ID. Downy had the west
gable end blown in, and the contents
of the house We're considerably dam
aged. The st. Joseph School build
ing Oh Iowa Avenue had one end
blown in. 1t is reported that two or
three other houses were unroofed in
the outskirts Of the city, and one
man is reported killed. Fruit and
shade trees were blown to the ground
in all parts of the city. The new
Trinity church building, in process
Of erection, was injured some. 1t is
impossible to give the entire amount
of damage done.

Indian SsOiCisni.

4 gentleman OF Jonesburg, No..

llates an extraordinary occurrence
which took place short time since
in the Indian Nation. \ Choctaw
Indian, having committed a willful
murder. was arrested, tried and sen.
fenced 10 be shot to death. lie
asked for twenty days in which to
prepare and visit his friends, giving
| his word Of honor as a ssbrave" to
return at the appointed time, and
was allowed to 20 forth without Il
guard or bail.
ut tile expiration of the twenty
days, according to appointment, the
hour for the execution arrived, and
the Indian, true to his word, at the
very hour and minute galloped up to
the place where the sentence was to
he carried out, i'm company with
three Of his sisters and three broth
ers, all appearing as cheerful as
though they had come to dance or
a frolic. The coffin was then brought
but some one remarked that it was
too small, upon which one Of the
doomed Indians brothers told him
to lay downin itand measure, which
he cheerfully did, and laughingly
said, at fits all right" The crowd
meanwhile appeared to be in the
most cheerful spirits, and cracked
jokes and laughed. At last, when
all was ready, the doomed man was
ordered to sit on the ground. a
handkerchief rH4as ttiitetf placed over
his eyes by his sister. While the
Sheriff held one hand, one Of the
condemned Indians brothers held
the other on each side Of him. The
Deputy Sheriff then stood in an old
house, about ten steps in front of the
condemned, with a rifle. From
some cause the rifle went off acct
dentally, the bullet passing through
the roof Of the house. The Indian,
believing he was shot, drew himself
up and shuddered, but did not speak
or move from the spot. A black
mark was then made over the Indi-
ans heart, with spittle and powder,
by his brother, while the Deputy
Sheriff reloaded his rifle, and, at the
signal, he took steady aim, fired and
pierced the centre of the mark. The
Indian, with n few struggles, fell
back dead, with his brother and the
Sheriff still holding his hands. No
one seemed to be in the least affected,
except the doomed Indians mother,
who she'd tears, but was told, to
"shut up' by her son-that all was
over.

We believe it was the Knoxville
Democrat, which spoke of the Small
wood Thompson affair in this county
as "Ku Klux ARRAY" 1t may be
that the Knoxville Democrat was
posted as Is the political antecedents
Of the Thompson and Everett fam
lilies, as they are all Democrats, but
he is certainly mistaken in the ma
ture Of the ARRAY, as no Republican
was beaten or killed-which Is inva-
riably the case I'm all the Ku klux
proceedings down South.
To show the extent Of these Ku
Klux outrages we copy the following

STORING WINTER APPLEs.-A cor
respondent of Laws Of L4fe, who claims
to have had extended experience, is
decidedly of the opinion that apples
keep far better when put into close
boxes or barrels, and secluded as much
as possible FROM the air. When thus
stored, he says, they viii come out in
the spring full and plump as when taken
from the tree. Many varieties, as the
Talman Sweet, Spitzenberg, and those
kinds that are not considered as long
in this way. / have, he continues,
found universally, that they keep better
to let them lie without picking over. It
is much better to pile them In a large
bin across the cellar, say six or seven
feet high, and four or five feet wide,
and cover them up tight, than to lay
them on shelves. once sSw such a bin
that man had kept through the winter.
About the first of April he thought he
would open the windows on the side of
the cellar, next to the bin to let in the
air, that they might keep better. / was
at his place and he called my attention
to the fact. Two windows just over the
bin were opened about ten days or two
weeks, and the apples exactly opposite
the windows about third rotted for as
much as foot in depth, and the remain
ing part on either side were not rotted
1T all. Another instance. A neighbor
of mine had about five hundred bushels
in pile in the cellar, AS they became
a little specked he commenced picking
them over; when about half done, got
tired, and let them go. When market
ed, about six weeks after, found that
about one third of those picked over
were not fit for market, while all but
about one twentieth of the others were
good. This I have seen in numerous
Instances. If you wish to try the ex-
pertinent, make box as tight as a car
penter can make it, and when picking
from the orchard fill it and nail il fast.
Let it lie in the orchard till tits In dam
ger of freezing then put it in the cellar.
Put the same quantity on shelves for
trial. I am pretty sure one experiment
will convince.
