GREAT STORM IN IOWA.
Loss of Life and Destruction CT
Property.

|
patches from Washington,
Iowa, dated May Oath, give
full details of the terrible cy-
clone, which swept over a por-
tion of Washington and Keo
kuk counties on Thursday last.
In the line of the storm every
thing, except here and there
a mile or two, over which the
whirlwind seems to have jump
ed, is desolate looking. Scarce
ly house, barn, shed, or gran
ary is lett. The exact start
ing point of the storm IS not
known, bnt it is believed to
have been in Keokuk county,
probably a few miles west oi
Lancaster, which town, it is
said, is totally demolished.
A reporter of the Tribune
took ride over the route OF
the hurricane this morning,
and was astouished at the ruin
wrought in an hour or two
The first farm visited was that
of John @. Cunningham, which
is about seven miles northeast
of Washington. Neither the
house nor barn was visible
they had been torn to pieces,
and only a few fragments re
mained, nearly all the timber
having been blown away
Pieces of boards were sticking
out of the fields, some of them
imbedded in the ground two
feet, and so tightly that they
couldn't be pulled out. Dead
stock was visible everywhere
horses, cows, pigs, and chick
ems; here and there were pigs
impaled to The ground, while
frequently chickens were en-.
countered without feathers on
them, Three hundred head of
stock were killed outright
In the dwelling, when the tor
nado approached, were Mrs,
Mccoy, daughter OF Mr.. Gun.
ningham, Mrs. Carringe, and
two children Of the former
They went into the cellar for
shelter, but remained = there
only a short time, being lifted
up and carried some distance
and thrown to the ground -
Mrs Mccoy had her head cut
and was badly brusied. Mrs
Carringe was rendered insensi-
BILE, but was not seriously hurt.
The children were uniDjured.
They were found lying in a
heap beside the cellar walls.
East of Cunningham's, near
the Highland township line, is
the farm of Mr.. Davidson. HIS
house and barn were destroyed
and himself killed. HanSel,
who was with him at the time,
was fatally injured and died on
Friday morning. All of the
latter's clothing was torn of
his body. North from Gun
ningham is the farm of John
Babcuck. His residence, barns.
out houses, and granaries were
demolished. His family were
fortunately absent, and he
himself escaped unipjured.-
The apple orchard, one of the
finest in the country, is now
without trees. They were torn
up by the roots and hurried
along. A grove OF honey 10.
Gusts was also carried away
Trees eighteen inches thick
were snapped as clay pipes can
be. Some of the stumps re.
naming look as if 6 saw had
been used, ST smooth and clear
was the break.
The next farm was tnat Of Da'
vid Cancer. Here was the same
desolation as at other places, only
less building material was OBJ
servable. Of the houses, barns
and sheds scarcely a vestige was
left. Mr.. and Mrs. Cancer and
Alex. Gillison, a neighbor, were
in the house, and sought shelter

THE PLATFORM.
FIRST, reafIirming the previ-
ously declared principles OF
the party; second, declaring
confidence in the administra-
tion of President Grant; third,
calls for a rigid economy In
the administration OF the State
and the Nation, and the limita-

ance Of public credit; fourth,
claims the public lands for the

seventh, we heartily applaud
the active measures OF the late

To Pickle EE2s.

Messrs. De Ia Vergne G Hare, one
of the largest egg dealing FIRMS in New
York, gives TO the Times, of that city.
the following recipe for picking eggs.
which they use with good success.
To make good pickle, get one bush
ell of clean lump lime, free from dirt
and all foreign matter, four quarts OF
fine salt, and sixteen ten-quart pals of
pure water, hard or soft, and as free
from vegetable matter rs possible.
Slake the lime with two or three pals
of the water, and dissolve the salt In q
pail of il; then add the salt and the
balance of the water. Stir the prepai-
alton well /; let it stand short time,
and stir it again three or four times
Finally, let it settle and dip the clear
pickle into the cistern or cask you are
to preserve in, filling ii about half full.
After this has been done, dip the eggs
into the pickle with q dipper or basket
made for the purpose. When the cis-
tern or cask is nearly full OF eggs, and
they are well covered with pickle,
spread a cotton cloth over them, and
spread on that layer of two or three
ter the clear pickle has been dipped oil.
Be sure that the eggs are we'll covered
with pickle while they remain init.
and the lower the temperature of the
pickle is kept, the better the eggs will
come out. The best arrangement for
preserving eggs is 10 build vat or
cistern below the cellar bottom,s being
careful to get it well made, tight, aud
from six to seven feet long, five feet
wide, and four or five feet deep. EGGS
picked according to the recipe given
have been known to keep well for two
years. .

Now is the time TO exterminate ticks
from sheep and lambs. An English
veterinary has discovered that carbolic
acid is death to the ticks and good for
for lambs. He says;
Dipping the lambs in a diluted
mixture of carbelic acid was found ef-
fectual in destroying the parasite. The
remedy suggested is absolutely HARM
less to the skin of the sheep indeed,
it is beneficial as detergent, while il
is certainly destructive to ticks. Used
either as dip or a wash to be poured
over the infested animals skin, the car.
bolic acid mixture will be perfectly ef-
fectual. No shepherd who has the
welfare of his flock at heart will neg
lect such simple plan of treatment
when he finds ticks very numerous ia
his sheep and lambs.

From the New York Journal OF Commerce
The reports that come from all Sec
ti0ns of the country, and especially
from the great centers of trade, COM
plain of the unusual dullness of busi-
ness. One would suppose from tho
general tenor OF the published reports,
and Vom conversation with the lead
ing merchants in the leading depart
ments, that there was absolutely ynotll-
ing doing-no buyers, no orders, no
sales. He would naturally think that,
upon looking about the streets he
would see no activity. no evidence OF
the transfer of goods, no hustle among
carmen, and, in fact, might expect
spears of grass to greet his vision in
our most Travelled thoroughfares. But
the facts are far different he finds on
traversing the principal streets that
they are blockaded with trucks
and carts loaded with merchandise. on
its way to the various depots of trans
portation companies. ard can discover
no apparent diminution in the appear.
ance of activity from that of other av-
erage seasons.
Why is this2 What is wrong? IL
is simply this: Business is again re-
turning to its healthful proportions af-
ter the extraordinary expansion caused
by the war. To be sure il is several
years since il was ended, but the extra
ordinary requirements of large Sec
tions of The country which were strip
ped of everything during the war
have only Just been supplied, aud now
comes the revorsion. Manufactures
have been stimulated. production has
been pushed to the fullest extent pos
siblc, and the inventive talent of the
most inventive nation in the world has
been called upon to assist in develop
ing modes of increasing the product,
until such perfection has now been
reached that supply of almost any
article of manufacture can be furnish
ed with the aid of machinery in a few
days, which ten years ago would have
taken many months TO produce.

says:

and quality of the flock may he eN-

il possible, be put at the time OF sep
aration from the ewes into a separate
pasture from the rest of the flock, put
ting in with them tame, dry eve Or
Wether. 80 they can be taught TO
come readily al the call. Many breed
ers put trough into the pasture
where the lambs are put for weaning,
and they are fed bran and oats once
day until winter. Such men always
have sheep that shear heavy fieeces,
| and they do not lose any lambs before
spring from anemia or ''pale diseases.
But If the lambs are put into clover or
other pasture that is mp to their eyes,
they do very well without the bran.
The ewes should be put into rather
short feed for few days after the
lambs are taken away, until the flow
of milk has ceased and they have be-
come dry. Then let them be thor

all whose teeth are getting narrow

duce good lambs, should be separated
from them and put into good feed, so

No Cholera In America.
From the Inter- Ocaan

To the Editor.l
SIR: ! am pleased to inform YOU
that the disease prevailing in the cities
to the south OF us is, / am satisfied not
cholera. From an extensive CORES
pondence with physicians in New Or
leans, Nashville, Louisville, etc.. and
from close study of all of the re-
ports, etc, am convinced that it is
only cholera Daorbns-the.annual return
of this disease, only in more severe
form than usual--which is due chiefly
to indiscretion in eating and drinking.
There is, without doubt, less
amount of ozone in the atmosphere
than usual, consequently decomposi-
ton (the generation of carbonic and
the gases), the more readily takes
place. With this condition of atmos-
pherc, and the debilitating effects of
the heat, meal of premature or sour
fruit is the only condition necessary to
add toproduce a severe attack OF this
cholera morbus.
The preventive is obvious: first, use
extra care in eating and drinking, and
second, clean away from rooms, dwell
ings, stores, shops, alleys, and streets
anything and everything that will de-
compose and produce gases-especially
vegetables and meats.
Those who choose can correct the
atmospheric condition of their rooms
by generating ozone as follows: add
slo,cly three parts of smphuric acid,
to two part of permangandte of 1,otas.
sium. If mixed too rapidly great
heat, even to fire, is sometimes pro-
duced.
Those who are attacked with chol-
era morbus this year, should cease
work and keep quiet. Do not neglect
the first symptoms. CaD,phoT is the
best and most convenient remedy to
take in the early stages before medical
aid arrives. UfsE
The bilious character of the dis
charges, the exciting cause being, rs a
rule. eating sour fruit or vegetables,
and the fact that this disease is disap-
pearing in New Orleans, convinces
the writer (and every medical man
with whom he has met or correspond.
ed) that this disease is NOT CHOLERA
at all. That we have not yet the at
mospheric conditions in the United
States to generate cholera, and neither
will we IL the people and health auth
critics are as vigilant as they should
be, is the firm belief of yours, respect.
