number of other buildings are wrecked.
At the same station eighteen freight cars

caused good deal of uneasiness al lie
mars. No serious damage reported
from there. The storm struck Spencer
on the line of the Chicago, Milwaukee Il
st. Paul road about 5 o clock this morn
ing, scattering lumber piles and demol-
ishing houses.
AT Emmettsburg, further east, the re-
suit was more serious. The SPLENDID
new school house, nearly finished, was
completely destroyed. Other buildings
were damaged, and several persons in-
iurcd. some quite severely. Many stat
ions along the line of the road to Union
Mills were blown to pieces. In a number
of cases cars were blown from the track.
Full reports are difficult to obtain on &C
count of the prostration of the wires.
The storm did not partake of the nature
of cyclone.

State University Notes.

Special Correspondence Of THE HERALD.
The closing exercises at the State
University last week. brought together
not only many Wisconsin students and
friends of the University but visitors
from other states
There are those who call commence
ments a bore and favor abolishing them.
But as well might we condemn Chicago
expositions and Worlds fair or scien-
tilic and art displays.
The orations delivered by the young
men and women at commencement may
be fairly considered a testimonial of the
moral, intellectual and practical culture
received in the school Within limit
ed time it can offer to its supporters no
better evidence of its usefulness. Con-
sidering these facts, the regents and
faculty of the State University maintain
a commencement day. On this occasion
June p, 1882, beside the law class OF
twenty-five young men, sixty students
formed the graduating class. Twenty,
including fiyeyoung ladies, were chosen
on the commencement programme,
while the class day exercises Of the day
before won for other orators an equally
good reputation. Though the orations
were universally good, the committee
expressed a large preference in award
ing the Lewis prize to Mr.. Simpson of
Waupun.
A grand plea for the Jews was given
by J. j. Esch, of Sparta. A plea for
Religion in the Home was made by
Miss Everest. of Fond du Lac. winning
by its beauty of thought and grace Of
delivery, the highest appreciation.

preston to one of the highest yet sad

The ladies wore various handsome

ventional gloves.
The numerous bouquets were Passe d
to ushers who handed them to the fav-
ored recipients.
The University offers excellent adyan-
tages and as seen from within by a
former student is very satisfactory
place to get an education, The only
vexed question at present is the manage
ment of Ladies, Hall, which it is hoped
will be kept in charge Of the faculty as
the most desired home for young lady

HAVOC OF THE HURRICANE.
The Work OF The Storm at and Near Independence
and Other Points.


CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, June 23.-The
hurricane at Independence, last night,
was of unusual severity, killing two per
sons and wounding some others beside
destroying nearly 100000 worth of
property. The work of destruction took
but three minutes and was followed by a
heavy rain. The citizens saw the storm
approaching and took to the cellars but
there were thousands of country people
on the streets and in the stores who had
just returned from Sells circus, so they
could find no shelter. Willis Herman.
aged 10 years, and Albert Pipke, aged
IL years, were killed by falling houses
twenty-five houses were totally DESTROY
ed, twice as many barns demolished and
a hundred houses and more than that
number of barns moved from their foun-
dations and badly damaged. Trees and
fences were laid fiat, some oak trees two
feet in diameter being twisted into or
pulled out by the roots. The country
north of the city suffered in like man
ner. A farmer named Marquette, while
going home from Independence, had his
skull fractured with flying timber and
will probably die. There are several 9th
er persons slightly injured. The teams
stampeded in the street, and getting en-
tangled in the telephone wires, caused
the widest confusion. he insane asy-
lum two miles from town, which has al
ready cost SS00.000, was struck and the
roof of five sections torn off, the storm
tower and bell tower cracked and twist
ed, the smoke stack, 135 feet high and
twenty feet at the base and ten feet at
the top was blown down, destroying the
carpenter shop and part of the engine
house and two boilers. The loss at the
asylum will be about $4,000. 1t is es-
timated that the loss in and about indie
pendence will reach nearly $500, 600
The city is sad looking place and the
loss will fall heavily upon the citizens.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-In the star
route cases to-day several witnesses
were examined in regard to the number
OF stations on routes A, 1855, time of ar
rival and departure of mails, etc. Mer-
rick declared that in view of the inuen-
does and discourteous treatment indulo-
ed in by the defense toward one of his
associates (Bliss) the prosecution would
hereafter refuse to answer any questions
from the other side except those put
through the court. Another squabble
was then INDUCED in between the attor-
neys. Colonel Ingersol lost his temper
and notified the gentlemen of the prose-
cution that none of them should take
the trouble of speaking to him hereafter.
The defense took out additional subpe-
mas against Second Assistant Postmas-
ter Elmer. Inspectors Woodward and
Bliss and called upon them to produce
papers and kilograms respecting the
route. George +. Stone, postofiice in
spection clerk, testified that there had
been no deduction or fines for failure to
perform expedited service upon this
route from November 1873 to November
1879.

CREAM CALCULATIONS.
How the Measurement OF the Butter Element Is
Obtained.

| Ubtafned.
AT the Cedar Rapids meeting of the
National Butter. Egg, & Cheese Asso-
CITATION, committee was appointed to
report upon true system of measur-
ing gathered cream. The committee
consisted of G.. A. Huston, President of
the Cedar Rapids Dairy Board of Trade.
ii. ii. Markley, President of the Iowa
Butter X Cheese Association. and |. H.
Wanzer of Elgin. an old pioneer in west
ern tiairying. They were to report on
the size of milk setting cans, and the
relative depth OF cream necessary in
such cans-the milk set "a hours-to
produce pound of butter.
The resolution presented by the COM
mittee and adopted by the convention is
as follows:
Resolved, That as it requires one
hundred and thirteen Ql3) cubic inch
es of cream on milk when set twenty
four CD hours, and, set in deep setting
cans, to make one % pound of butter,
the measurement of cream should be as
follows: For cans twelve Q2) inches
in diameter, one % inch depth of
cream; for cans eight (S) inches in di-
ameter two and one fourth (2t) inches
depth of cream; and for cans eight and
one-half (S!) inches in diameter two (2)
inches depth of cream to make pound
of butter. The milk to be set in a tenn
perature not below 80 degrees nor above
GO degrees Fahrenheit. and not less than
twenty-four hours beIore being skinned
The standard of measurement should be
as here recited; and it is recommended
that all cans be made to conform to
these dimensions. This measure for
cream does not in any way apply to the
shallow setting system.

Mills MutiIated.

LAWRENCE, Mass, June 23.-The
most disastrous fire that las visited this
city for years occurred shortly after Z
o'clock this evening, in the storehouse
of the Pacific Mills, the largest woollen
goods manufacturing establishment in
New England, located on Broadway,
within forty-two feet of the main Pacif-
ic mill and adjoining it in the rear The
storehouse building is brick with stone
basement, three stories high, 800 feet
long and fifty feet wide. In the base
ment were stored Madden dyes, chemi-
Gals and cotton cloths in the process Of
manufacture. The next floor was used
for supply office. The two upper floors
were used for the storing and sorting Of
wool, and on these floors were 200, 900
pounds of wool ready for sorting and
nearly 10000 pounds that had passed
the hands of the sorter. From present
indications it appears that the fire orig
mated in the basement of she storehouse
where the chemicals were stored from
spontaneous combustion, and being
famed into blaze by draft through
the elevator hatchway to the upper stO-
ries. The entire building was Quilted,
and the total loss will exceed 81, 900, 900
