cause of his untimely death
Mr. John Iversen, of Plankington
Dakota, was looking up friends in the
city during the past week. John speaks

will congratulate him on his new and

| A reception was given on Monday
evening last to Rev. Mr.. Bray and fam
| lily, in the parlors of the Congregational
church, the chief object being to afford
the members Of the congregation and
friends an opportunity to become ac-
quainted with the new pastor of the
church. Notwithstanding the violent
thunder storm the early part of the
evening, the gathering was quite large.
There was a general Misunderstanding, and
new acquaintance were formed. The
pastors of the Methodist and Baptist
churches showed their kind regard by
their presence and in participating in the |
social enjoyments of the evening. La
dies of the congregation provided
bountiful supplies of ice cream, straw
berries, etc.

More or less rainfell in this city every
day for the past nine days About 7:30
on Monday evening large black clouds
rolled up from the Northwest and burst
over the city, accompanied by high
wind and vivid lightning. Rain fell in
torrents for about half an hour. During
the storm lightning struck Mr.. Tipton's
barn, near the depot, setting it on fire !;
it was entirely consumed. One of the
horses in the barn was struck by light
ming, but was not killed. A large guam
tity of oats and some hay were con-
sumed. Mr.. Higgins barn, a short dis
lance north of Mr. lTipton's barn, was
also struck, but was not set on fire, and |
escaped without material damage. The
residence of Mr.. A. Muntzenberger, on
the North side, was also entered by the
electric fluid, which passed into the els
tern without doing any damage. Tues
day afternoon another heavy storm
passed over this section AS on the pre-
vious evening, it was accompanied by
high wind, loud peals of thunder and
vivid flashes of lightning. The steeple
of the Congregational church at Salem
was struck by lightning during the
storm and destroyed, and the entry
considerably damaged. A tree near the
house of Mr.. G. G. Shepard in Bristol,
was also struck during the same storm.
After the storm spent its fury, steady
rain set in and continued for several |
hours. The thermometer dropped
about thirty-fve degrees between Tues

ST. James church on Sunday evening
on "The Evil of Intemperance the |
Citizens Duty inregard to it." Owing to |
the threatening aspect Of the weather,
the attendance was not as large as it
would otherwise have been. The rev.
erend prelate spoke for about an hour
and half and was listened to with |
marked attention to the close. In open
ing he paid fitting tribute to Rev.
Father Cleary for his zeal in the cause
of temperance, and to Mayor Simmons
for his courage in enforcing the law.
He dwelt largely in statistics showing
the quantity of liquor consumed in this
country, the amount of money wasted
for it, and said that while only $3.50, O00-
GOO were spent for meats and bread
stuhs in the United States during the
