Great Damage Done in Iowa-Many
Buildings Wrecked and Several Per.
sons Injured.
DEs MONIES. La. June

DEs MONIES, Ia, June IL.
Today's Developments show that the
storm that visited Iown last night was of
marked severity and wide extent. The scene
of the greatest destruction is along the west
ern border of the State, where the energy of
the tornado seemed to centre, and passed up
the Missouri river valley. In Pottaw attamie
county the town of Neolo was badly dam
aged, and a large number of farm houses in
the vicinity we're destroyed. The roof of the
deaf and dumb asylum was torn of and car
ried 600 feet. The cupola was also torn
away, and several other buildings damaged,
inficting loss of $4,000. Several build
ings were demolished in Omaha. Passing up
the river, the storm struck Monona county,
and at Whiting blew down many houses aud
barns, and severely injured Mrs. John Cros-
by. 1t tore W. Packard's house to pieces,
broke Mrs. Packard's arm and carried her
babe, a week old, 200 yards, stripped all it's
clothing of and left it unhurt. -Four miles
north, John Davenport's house was blown
down AID his wife seriously injured. James
Smith, while driving near the lake, was
blown into the water with his team. The
horses were drowned. Other damage is re-
ported, but the names are not known. The
next serious damage known occurred nine
miles above Sioux City, across the Dakota
line, where train of the Milwaukee road
was blown from the track, wounding several
men and demolishing the houses Of G. w.
Kellogg, G. Fellock, T. M. Mallory and T.
Adams. A large number of barns and wind
mills in the vicinity were wrecked. In Lee
county, the extreme southeastern point of the
State, bridges were blown from their moor
ings, railway tracks washed out and travel
seriously interfered with. At Marshalltown
which is in Central Iowa, the Christian In
stitute was unroofed, cars blown from the
the track, and the bridges across the Le-
grand river, was blown awav. The Rock
Island round house at the Atlantic Fort
Dodge company's machine shops at Grand
Junction, was unroofed. Considerable dam
age was done to crops, but at the present
time no fatalities have been reported.

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.
Baccalaureate Sermon Before the Senior
Class of Harvard College.

BosroN. June 1.-THE first part of the
commencement exercises of the senior class
of Harvard College took place this afternoon
when Rev. DR.. A. P. Peabody delivered the
baccaulereate sermon. DIR. Peabody preached
from Nehemiah, v. 2. Then consulted with
myself He could not, he said, in opening
think of any more appropriate basis for his
remarks than these words of the foremost
figure in Hebrew history. from the time of
Moses to the time of Christ. For the 6rst
time his hearers, the graduating class of the
college, were to be free from all restraint
which their college course had imposed upon
them. As they were all legally free, so in
a few daye they were all to be absolutely
free. At such time, on the threshold of the
new life, the best guide for the future was
self-relnnce. Care should be taken, how
ever, that the self-reliance did not become
too headstrong. Consultation should be had
with those who were worthy of consultation
as well after graduation as before. Still, it
should be remembered that while advice
could be given. commando could not. 1t was
therefore important to learn to rely on ones
self, to remember the words of Nehmiah and
consult with ourself. In the present age,
more care should be given to independence
in all things. The tendency was to uniform.
ity. The people in one part of the country
became more and more dependent on the
customs and manners of the people of an
other part.
Independence and eccentricity were being
rapidly levelled by such inventions as steam
engines, telegraph and telephone. Now here
was this want of self reliance, this following
after manners and fashions, set by few
leaders of society, so manifest as in a col
lege community like Harvard. Too often
was this thing looked down upon, not because
it was wrong in itself, but because it was
fashionable to look down on it. Too often
was an offense winked at, not because it was
felt to be right, but because the fashion of
the day did not condemn it. Under these
circumstances it was not sufficient to drift
with the current, to do as the rest did. Self
reliance must be cultivated.
When the course of conduct had to be de-
ternlined upon the best authority to consult
was self. Conscience was the best Judge.
1t was the voice OF God speaking to the hearts
of all men. Had the words of the text been
Then consulted for myself" continued
DIR. Peabody, the above remarks would not
have to be changed in any respect to consult
for yourself. The best authority was to con-
suit with yourself. Each person had the
making of his own life in his own hands. 1t
was his duty TO decide on his conduct Each
would be influenced with different circum-
stances each must decide for himself No
rule could be laid down. The best rule was
contained in the words "Then 1 consulted
with myself"
