st. Louis, August S--A special to
the Republican from DesMoines. Ia,
says n hail storm of unparalleled severity
passed over the valley of the Nishuo-
bota river last night. Part of the

blew freight ears from the track. AT
Brayton, two houses were destroyed
and child blown into the brush.
When 1t was found afterwards, 1t was
all right. An elevator was blown
down at Gray, and II moving machine
was thrown against a dwelling. The
hail was deep enough to impede the
movement of trains. Twenty cattle
We're killed in one herd. Near Des-
Moines, Peter Lepon's house was
blown down and his wife killed; near
Calbat II barn was struck 10y light,
ming, and more or less damage was

IN MEMORIAM.

age - "''
Dead" they said; and round his bier.
Reverently and brellhless,
Gathered we in whose fond hearts.
Lives his memory deathless.
As the years, Gods steps to Heaven
Dropped in tender sweetness
Under his oft.weary feet,
With alarming tleetness.
And he climbed each helpful step
Into blissful brightness;
Sad, we watched the patient tiead
Losing strength and lightness.
When the last, last step was reached
Finished here his mission,
Faded children, wife and home
From his earthly vision
when the weary are at rest
Sings he now in Glory:
Do "the field of Eden seem
"Sweet'' as in the story?
As he walks with Saints Of Old
In sweet Heavenly places;
Does it dim his eyes 10 see
Our regretIul faces ?
As he leans ON Christ's strong arm.
Feels its loving pressure:
Does tue warmth from his dear heart
That of Olrs out. measure?
As the grief of each sad day
Embilters each tomorrow,
May God TO the stricken ones,
Sanctily this sorrow
