The Deadwood Times reports that
shadow of discouragement is clouding
the political life of Barney Caulfeld,
who sees place after place filed by the
democratic patriots of Dakota and not
even 80 much as crumb falls in his di-
rection. He was ardently desirous of
wearing the stars of the incumbent of
Dakota's surveying headquarters, but
they shed their luster upon more an
cient Dakotaian than Barney. He aspires
to the goyernorship, but Pierce stands as
immovable as the everlasting hills upon
which his castle is built. Besides, the
father of Dakota democracy, the stall.
wart Ziebach. is many lengths ahead in
the race and when the mantle OF Gov.
ernor Pierce falls it is probable that the
shoulders of the sovereign of the squat
ters will receive it. Barney will be left
to weather the storms of adversity with
no political raiment to protect him from
the chilling blasts and no effulgent starr
to Tighten the obsourity of his night o.

al amount of destruction and the fear is
that the end is not yet. Saturday
nights visitation, yet only partially re.
ported, swept down the valley of the
Missouri leaving the wrecks of human

Harrington were badly damaged. 9th

cause of the general prostration of tele.

able that the destruction was vide
spread.
The storm of Friday night followed
the general course of the Missouri as for
down as Omaha and Council Bluffs and
then turned eastward and devastated
the state of Iowa. At Council Bluffs
the deaf and dumb institution was par-
TALLY blown down, the roof and upper
story going to pieces. Omaha was pelt-
ed with hail and weak structures
badly racked, but 1t escaped
with nothing worse than
a bad scare. The Cyclone moved across
southern Iowa and from almost every
teleg1aphic point in that section of the
state come reports of crops destroyed
and buildings torn in pieces. Along the
line of the Illinois Central road the
circling blast left its mark as far east as
Foit Dodge. The extreme southeast
corner of Dakota was touched and 9
train was wrecked near McCook,
but Dakota seems otherwise to have
escaped. Northern Iowa and Min
nesota were also exempted from
the visitation, though all OF these sec.
tions may have been struck by the more
violent blow Of Saturday night. Bott
these destructive storms passed ovel

apprehension. 1t is o historical faci
