Severe Storm-Killed by Lightning.

OMAHA, Neb., June l5-The second
severe rain and wind storm within half a
week visited this section yesterday. One
residence in Omaha was struck by lightning,
but the occupants escaped injury. a brake
man named Sullivan was killed by lightning
near Columbus. Immense damage was done
in the county to windmilIs, sheds and barns
by the wind. The storm along the Union
Pacific road was particularly severe Al
Willard, twenty miles west, two lumber
yards were entirely blown away. At Elk
han two houses and a barn were blown
down. For distance Of six miles west of
Grand Island telegraph poles are all laid
flat. The same storm struck the North
Platte depot aud was blowing it to pieces
when telegraph communication was cut off.
The depot at Phelps Station, on the Burl-
ington and Missouri railroad, was partly
wrecked. A great deal of damage was
done for distance of fifty miles along the

IS TIE COLOR OF THE Sun BLUE?-lt
may be asked. What suggested the idea
that the sun may be blue rather than any
other color? My own attention was first
directed this way many years ago, when
measuring The heat and light from different
rarts Of the suns disk. 1t is known that
the sun has an atmosphere Of its own, which
tempers lis heat, and by cutting of certain
raGiations, aud not others, produces the
spectral lines we are all familiar with.
These lines we customarily study i'll con-
nection with the absorbing vapors OF sodl
u.n, iron, and so forth, which produce them;
bat my own attention was particularly gwen
to the regions of absorption, or TO The color
il cansed: and found that The suns body
must he deeply blush ,and that it would shed
blue light. except for this apparently color
less solar atmosphere which really plays the
part of IL reddish, veil, letting little OF the
blue appear on the centre OF the suns DISK
where it Is thinBest, aud staining the edge
red, SO that TO delicate tests the centre OF
the SUN is o pale aqua marine, and It's edge
q garnet. The effect found TO be so i'm
portant that, if this all but invisible solar
atmosphere were diminished by but third
part. the temperature of the British Islands
would rise above That of the torrld zone,
and this directed my attention to the great
practical Importance of studying the action
of our own terrestrial atmosphere on the
sun, and the antecedent probability that our
own air was also and independently making
the really blue sun into al apparently white
one-PrUf. Ldngicy.

A Card From Mr.. Austin.

From childhood have been opposed to
assassination in any form. A man who
writes an anonymous communication or
sends for publication statement of meet
ing, without giving the names of the parties
calling the meeting (if any, the mover of
the resolution, or the names of the commit.
tee, when that meeting attacks the official
character of man. is nothing but coward
and assassin. In regard to the so called
meeting Of citizens in the county held at
Walker school-no names are mentioned of
any of those present, and the only person
responsible for any crime charged (if any is
the County Clerk. Well, the facts of the
case are: On Saturday (the I'd day after
the eleciionl w. T. Burrows, judge of cleo
ton of Arlington district, and George
w. Salisbury, judge of election of JEFF
ferson district, and Robert w. Walker,
Judge of election of Washington district,
each of whom were registrars and commits
sioners of election Of their respective dis
tricts, delivered TO NE the poll books and
returns of their respective districts, and the
ballots in regard to school levy and sale of
Intoxicating liquors opened in their pres
ence and examined as commissioners of
elections by them. Alterations on poll
books, if any, were made by them, and not
by myself. There being no contest for
officers, the ballots were not opened. The
school and liquor ballots avere opened at the
request Of the citizens Of the county present,
and in accordance with their wish and by
the consent of the commissioner thereof. l,
and alone, am responsible for opening the
school and liquor license ballots, which I
did in their presence. BENZ AUSTIN

The TWO Virginia Senators don't get

subsist between gentlemen occupying their

gan. The senior Senator having implied
tn, ough his that the junior lacked nerve in
the prosecution of reputation, the latter,
through his, rejoins by telling the former to
read and repub'ish his autobiographies" if
he would see whose nerve was lacking, and
to "send his slurs in another direction" and
that with him, that is with Malone, the
Riddlebcrger bill sis John Smiths bill as a
success. II is john Browns bill as fail

the ISSUE" and he, Malone, ''can get all he
wants by asking for it," But no man who
has any interest in the welfare of Virginia
regrets that the two men who now misrep-
resent her in the U. S. Senate have fallen
cut; for no matter which one of them be
injured, the State will he benefited.

AT THE annual dinner of the Golden club
in London last Saturday, Mr.. Joseph Cham
berlain, comparing the trade of England
with that of America, read extracts from
the report of Mr.. McCulloch, recently Amer.
lean Secretary of the Treasury, on American
overproduction, and referred to the marked
increase of failures in America as compared
with the decrease in England, and quoted
from commercial agepcys report on the
reduction of wages to show the disadvant-
ages of the protective system. The ship
ping trade, he said, was almost entirely in
the hands of English shipowners. And yet,
year after year, Congress meets and adjourns
without lowering the tariff, without repeal
ing the law which prohibits American ship
pers from buying vessels in the cheapest
markets, and which compels them to buy
those of Mr.. John Roach at double price.
Aud, also, year after year,the people of this
country, who have the power to change all
this, continue to send protectionsts to Con-

The REPUBLICANS of Ohio, in their recent
State convention, denounced the South and
the people thereof for the harsh and cruel
treatment to which the poor negroes in this
section are subjected. And yet in Osgood,
in that same State, last Thursday night, a
mob of white men shot and killed negro
and his wife for no other reason than the
TACT that both being addict ID to drink, they
were, not dangerous, but disagreeable
neighbors. Negroes are killed in the South.
But not by mobs; but by organized bands Of
lynchers, and for the most diabolical of
crimes. But in the entire South no instance
can be a]duced in which harmless negro
man and his equally harmless negro wife
were murdered by their white neighbors
simply for drinking and quarreliug with
each other, and thereby making the neigh
borhood disagreeable one in which to re-
side. But the flag of the bloody shirt has
been raised by the Ohio republicans, and it
will be waved furiously until the fall cleo
ton in that State shall have been held.
