Last SATURDAYS Storm.

Public Spirit, Lake Crystal, Blue Earth Go.
Saturday morning, about 9 O'Clock, q
furious storm of wind and rain struck thii
village, that surpasses anything in that line
ever before experienced.
Rain had been falling more or less from
Wednesday and considerable wind prevailed
few minutes before 9 o'clock that morn
ing light shower set in with stiff breezf
from the south, when suddenly the wind.
swung into the southwest and turned into S
wild, sweeping tornado of wind and water
Buildings rocked on their foundations,
and the hearts of the occupants sickened
With fear. Mothers clasped their children,
in their arms and with white lips prayed for
the storm to abste. In the short space Of
one-half an hour, hundreds of dollars worth
of property were destroyed.
The greatest sufferer, a poor section hand
named Martin Strom Peterson. His house,
a two-story frame, was blown some thirty
feet and turned bottom side up, being almost
entirely demolished. Mrs. Peterson, her
children, and the wife of Erling Patterson,
a neighbor who was visiting with a.
couple of children, were in the house
at the time. Mrs. Peters IN says that she
was holding by the stove when the gale struck,
and when found she still had hold of it,
though uninjured, some thirty feet from the
building, and the only piece of furniture
that had been thrown in that direction. The
other woman and six children had been
spilled into the cellar and were all more or
less hurt, but fortunately none were killed.
Mrs. .IErling Patterson had her right shoulder
severely hurt, which with the nervous shock
has completely prostrated her. The family
had scrambled out of the cellar here huddled
down near the stove, when Mr.. Stedman
went to their ASST stance, and with the excep-
ton of an eight year old boy, who could not
De found, were taken to his house Then
search was instituted for the missing boy,
whom it was feared had perished in the
wreck of the house, but he was found after
a short search in Billy Seegar's stable un-
hnrt. with the exception of a black eve.

HatE Storm, at Sto,sc Cttu.

About o'clock yesterday morning o ter
rible hail storm occurred at Sioux City, by
which, it is reported, all the glass was broken
on the west and north sides of every house in
She city. The glass was also all broken
out from the west sides of caboose cars aud
passenger coaches standing on the railway
tracks. As the windows of the cars are made
of strong plate glass in comparatively small
sheets, the force of the storm and size of the
hail stones may be imagined as terrific, and
iustifying expectations of hearing of greater
disasters than glass breaking, although tie
storm Is understood to have been confined to
Sioux City and its neighborhood. The size
of the hail stones may be judged from q
report sent in by an operator at Ls Mars to
the effect that the conductor of the morning
train out from Sioux City, as his train was
about leaving, three hours after the storm,
scooped up a bucket full of hail in chunks
which averaged as large as hen's eggs. The
shade trees in Sioux City were denuded of
leaves and it is feared that all fruit in the
track of the storm was destroyed. The hail
came with torrents of rain, which flooded
the streets and tore up wooden sidewalks.
Further particulars were not obtainable on
account of the telegraph lines IN that direc-
ton being almost constantly interrupted by
local storms.

They Want Our Beef.
London Telegraph. !


Notwithstanding the severe prohibitory
regulations that restrict the traffic, the i'm
portation of cattle from foreign countries
has of late gone on increasing. In 1873 the
number of foreign animals landed at the six
privileged ports was 1,20O,323. In 1879 it
was 1,24l, S47; and if, as most people expect
trade continues to improve and wages rise,
the import will, of course, grow rather than
fall off. The fact that some fifteen thousand
cattle are killed every week at the Deptford
landing place ought to indicate that not only
is the foreign cattle trade large one, but
that the regulations enforcing slaughter at
the port of debarkation must seriously raise
the price of beef. 1t may thus come to be
grave question, whether it would not be
possible to relax the restrictions now
placed upon the import of cattle from the
United States. There is no virulent type of
disease raging in that country. No case of
plague can be discovered within its frontiers,
and, although sometimes cattle from Ameri-
can ports show symptoms of pleuro- pneu-
monia when they are landed, yet it must be
borne in mind that, when brought over
alive, they are exposed to weather of the
worst sort, and deprived of exercise in cap
tivity. The strongest ar d healthiest animals,
in such circumstances, may contract pulmon-
ary disease. but, for all that, it may very well
be that no pleuro-pneumonia was among
them when put on board ship. If this be
the case-and there is good scientific authori-
ty for saying that it is so-Mr. Mundella
should set about making the foreign cattle
trade as free as is compatible with general
safety. He should put America on the same
footing as Spain and Portugal.

W1NoNA, Mimi, June 10.--A deluge of
rain, accompanied by high wind, visited this
section and vicinity about 8 o'clock this A. NJ.
The storm came from the west and fell in
binding sheats, and with previous rains has
inundated the country in all directions.
During the storm bolt of lightning killed
a man named Kadrosky and seriously injured
another named Finster, at work in Youman
Bros lumber yard. Phe house of John Roe
was unroofed, many shade trees were
broken down and much other damage done.
The Winona & st. Peter railroad west for
forty miles is badly washed so that all trains
are suspended. The town of Stockton, ten
miles, is badly flooded. The full extent of
the damage cannot be learned as the tele-
graph is down, but it is not expected the
road can be operated under three days If In
a week. The train on the Chicago, Mil
waukee q st. Paul, which left st. Paul last
night, reached here at 10 this A. NJ, having
been delayed by washouts. Below this city,
near Homer, a washout was encountered
which will require at least twenty-four hour
to repair and the train was run back here
where it now is, though expecting to START
ahead over the Northwestern spur to La
Crosse. The river is rising fourteen inohe'I
in twenty four hours and a high old flood Isl
promised and seyery thing looks decidedly
blue.

CENSUS ENUMERATORS.
Some cf the Delicate Rights They Are
Bound to Respect.
Detroit Free Press


Bound to Respect.
Detroit Free Press.
In few days more the census man vii
take his book under his arm and start ou
to make his mark on this decade. Under
the new law they have legal right to asl
about 500 questions, but there is such 6
thing as q census man going too far. 1t is
well enough for defenseless families to know
where the line is drawn.
No census man has right to dispute q
woman when she gives her age. Under the
law he can elevate his eyebrows and exclaim:
''Did you ever?" when a female supposed to
be 45 returns her age at SO, but he must stop
right there. He may wonder to himself
where on earth all the grandnot of this
country have suddenly slipped to, but be
mustn't wonder to you.
No census man has legal right to ask a
woman if she is living with her first, second
or third husband, or whether she quarrels
moro with the third than the first. The Law
supposes every family to be living inpeace
and harmony, and the United States govern
ment never takes any notice of family row
brought on by the hired girl being kissed ir
the dark.
Under the law, no census taker has any
right to ask wife how many evenings in a
week her husband is out after IL o'clock, or
what is the subject of her remarks when he
slips in at the side door. This great and
glorious government has always been con-
Quoted on the principle that clubs, lodges
and societies were part of its foundation.
The law does not specify that the census

A baby with the measles counts just az

another matter. The census taker may

Bad for Crops.
lie Sueur Sentinel.

The outlook for rich harvest. that week
or more ago was gladdening the hearts of
farmers here and elsewhere, since the three
days. floods that begun on Thursday after
noon and ended on Saturday night, has very
materially changed. Each one of the rain
storms-one on Thursday afternoon, two on
Friday and three or four on Saturday and
Saturday night-was enough to drench the
fields; but together they amounted to con-
tinuous flood, and anywhere else than in the
loose sandy loan of Minnesota, they would
have almost wholly destroyed the crops.
Even with the hailstorm of
Thursday evening, which was par
ticularly heavy and destructive
in small districts throughout the county,
notably IN Tyrone township, about four
miles from town, and through Sharon and
Cleveland townships, striking Sharon six
and seven miles from town, and Cleveland
near the village, there is not extensive pres.
ent damage reported to the wheat crop.
But the growth before these floods had been
SO rank on the timber soils and on the Sib-
ley county prairie, that wheat was rotting
in spots, and now with the fields thoroughly
saturated, and in many places covered with
water for days, the remainder of the season
must be all favorable or there will be but q
largely damaged crop at best.

The Crops.

The weather conditions which have pre-
vailed here for now nearly Two weeks, and
have been reported at times from over
large part of Minnesota and the adjacent
States and territory, are beginning to create
soma uueasiness in business circles most de-
pendent upon good crops. But, after care
ful inquiry yesterday as to weather and
crop indications in all directions the GFoBE
is satisfied that there is as yet no serious
cause for uneasines5. The storms, though of
frequent occurrence, have been generally
local. and though in some limited districts
the crops have been damaged,
in all parts of Minnesota, north
ern Wisconsin, northern Iowa, and
Dakota-with few and small exceptions the
young crops are looking better than ever
before at this time of year. Some wheat
fields in Olmsted county, and others of the
southeastern counties of the State, have been
deluged with rain until the owners fear that
their grain has been water killed. But not
one in ten of the fields in that part of the
State can have been thus submerged. In
the southwestern part of the State there has
been a good deal of rnin, and rain indica-
tions still prevailed yesterday, but the crop
indications are generally very favorable.
The same may be said of the lower
and middle Minnesota valley. In
the upper Minnesota valley and i'll
the western border counties it Is claimed
that no moro rain has fallen than was need
ed and the crops are said to be growing
finely. The same may be said of the upper
Mississippi country and all the central part
of the State. Concerning the extreme
northwestern part of the State and of the
Red river country in Manitoba, there were
reports some time ago of overhows that
threatened to damage crops. Later adVlces
are to the effect that there have been no
over1ows of the cultivated lands, but the
lowest lands of that region ara submerged
and the uplauds are said to be very wet.
Yet the wheat crop of that region is growing
splendidIy and keeps its brilliant color. Of
Northern Dakota, near the Red rlveI
valley the same may be said, while west there
has not been III excessive rainfall. In short,
while all over this State, and probably all
over the northwest, there has been good
deal of rain, in some limited sections too
much rain, and here and there narrow strips
of country where storms or foods have dam
aged crops, the general condition OF crops
is more than usually favorable. Aud 1t may
be we'll to bear in mind, while the rain and
storm season lasts, that all damages will be
reported, but little be said about the un'
injured crops.

Moscow is now mourning the death of
self taught poet, whose career might have
afforded matter of chapter in "Self- help"
Born forty years ago in village in the
province of Yaroslavi, Ivan Sakharovitch
Surakoff was sent by his father, at the age
of seven, to serve as an errand boy at Mos
COW. Here in course of time, he rose to
be shopman, and, aided by some good-hu-
mored customers who used to FREQUENT the
place where he worked, he made himself
familiar with the three RS, and with that in
carnation of all that is vile, the grammar of
his native language. While stiA in rudi-
mentary stage of self-instraetion he fell
across a book containing the poems of
Pashkiny Lsrmontoff and Koltsoff, the latter
of whom gave him his cue as poet, and af-
terwards served as his model in verse. AS is
not uncommon with the parents of poets,
neither his father nor mother looked with
favorable eye on the verses which
Surakoff brought them after
while to Yorsolavi. and, in
obedience to their instructions, his master
took such pains to keep pens and paper, and
the means of buying them, out of his way
that young Ivan was compelled to scribble
his early poems in pencil on scraps of waste
paper. In 1862, by chance, Moscow journ-
alist entered the shop to effect purchase,
and, finding some very witty verses scribbled
on his parcels, went back and had conver-
sation with Surakof, which led to the latter
contributing some poems to the Voskresni
Dosoog. From that period his contribu-
t1ons to the Russian press were frequent,
and by 1877 no less than
three volumes of his collected
poems had appeared, chiefly dealing with
life and scenes at Moscow. 1t will surprise
no one that these productions, although 30
popular, failed tc furnish him with liveli-
hood, since literary career, precarious
enough in any country, is doubly so in Rus
sia, where readers are few and publishing
expensive. Surakoff had the good sense,
therefore, to stick to his trade, and up to the
day of his death he might have been seen
working in his little tinker's shop in one of
the markets of Moscow, surrounded by the
implements of his craft, and having handy
sheet or two of paper for jotting down any
verses that might run in his mind while sod
iering pot or putting patch on kettle.

Pon,eroy's Greenbackers

Chicago, June 10.-The FarwelI Hall
Greenbackers held lively session this morn
ing, the question under discussion being
whether they should maintain distinctive
organization as against the convention at
the Exposition, and whether the clubs or
organizations in the various States should be
preserved. The former proposition was
voted down, but the latter was decided In the
affirmative.
In the Exposition the convention on Gre
dentials reported 617 of the regular delegates
entitled to seats and 233 others, including
the Farwell Hall delegates. A minority re-
port was made including the latter delegates,
and debate of some length was entered
upon motion to adopt the minority report.
During the afternoon the confusion was
so great that several sergeants-at-arms were
appointed with Dennis Kearney at their
head to help preserve order, which they
managed to do at risk of breaking up the
convention. Finally permanent organiza-
ton was effected by the selection of r. S.
Trevelick, of Michigan, permanent chair
man, In the evening session the COM
mitteee adopted the report of
the committee on rules.
After voting down by large majority pro-
position to make two thirds vote of the
convention necessary to the selection of a
Presidential candidate. delegate from
Massachusetts moved to allow incomplete
delegations to cast the full vote of their
State. In the confusion which followed
there was bewildering ENHANCEMENT of
points of order, personal explanations,
amendments, substitutes and demands from
half dozen members at a time for
recognition by the chair, in the midst of
which the chair called on all delegates to
take their seats, and announced that he
would tire them out and obtain order if it
took till Christmas, and that they couldn't
now secure recognition by standing up even
if they stood on their heads.
Finally the proposition was adopted,
and a memorial of the social labor party was
read. 1t expresses desire for representation
in this body for the purpose of making COM
mon warfare against the money power, and
claimed to have 100000 voters in sociaIlstic
