The communication of the secretary OF
war in re, ponse to Representative Bou-

was laid before the House, and referred 10
the military committee, is anything else
than satisfactory, and when it is reported

The Pacific railroad telegraph bill has
been, by resolution of the House, made a
special order for March 3. This isanother
resolution that will be fought over bitter
ly. And the vote upon it will be looked
on by many as a test of the combined in
hue1ce of the Western Union Telegraph
company and the Pacific railroads in the
House.

The Storm.

The southern and southwestern por.
tions of this county were visited by a
very severe and damaging storm Of
wind, rain and hail on Sunday evening.
The afternoon was ominously warm
and sultry, and dark clouds gathered
between and s o'clock. Large drops
of rain were soon followed by hail,
driven by q strong wind. 1t seemed to
have been most severe i'm the south
west, where in some instances every
pane of glass in the house was broken.
The dealers in glass enjoyed boom ON
Monday, purchasers securing all the
way from five to sixty pancs, The
stories told of the hail are almost in.
credible, but are related by reliable
gentlemen. Several reported that the
hail was the size of u hickory nut and
in many places foot deep on the
ground. Il, NJ. Dickey of Douglas
township states that in the morning
he found hail drift at the bend of q
creek ON his farm that was five feet
deep, and almost equal stories come
from all quarters of the southwest. The
rain falling in deluge accompanied
by the hail, made current in every
valley that carried everything in its
course. Every bridge on Indian creek,
SO far as heard from went down before
1t, while ON the smaller streams the re.
gllt pun aud Aoty t,,n
though some believe the latter will come
up under bright sun, If no further
damage occurs. Rye was headed, and
consequently totally destroyed. Mr..
Michael Mcguire, living miles from
this place had IS acres In rye, and the
damage was so complete that on Tues
day morning he commenced blowing
the field for corn. Corn fields have suf-
fered much and an inestimable number
of acres will have to be replanted They
are washed in the track of the planter
to the depth of the stirring plow furrow,
while in the hollows the planting Is
covered beyond the reach of the sun. A
great deal of garden truck is blighted,
If not killed. Fruit trees are battered,
and blossoms destroyed. However it
may appear later that tho damage is
not SO great as the rumors would indi-
cate. Above the damage to the crop of
1883 several farmers estimate the dam
age TO their lands by washing off tho
top soil, and count the quantity of fer
tili2er necessary to replace it,
The county poor farm came in for its
share of the i'll luck. About seventy
acres are in corn, thirty Of which were
replanted after the storm of tho 23d
and about the same amount was washed
out Sunday night, so that IL virtually
requires double planting throughout.
Fences In the rayinc north of the house
were washed away, and u pump went
with the swim.

Pass the Pipe of Peace.

During the June days-the 21st and
22d--Red Men, to the number of about
two hundred, will leave the war path
and the hunting grounds, and emerging
from the forest fastness, gather in great
council in the hospitable wigwam Of
the local chiefs and braves, and accept
as well the hospility of the uninitiated
pale face. The local members of that
fraternity displayed good deal of en-
er9y and enterprise In securing this
state meeting for Audubon. Some of
the first cities of the state would gladly
have entertained them, and in fact tho
competition Of those cities to secure
the meeting was earnest, but as Audi
bon representatives made fine show
ing for our town they were successful
in securing the meeting. Our citizens
should see to IL that the visitors are not
disappointed. They come from every
quarter of the stats and returning will
cary to their fellow citizens either COM
pliments or condemnation for the
county seat Of Audubon county. The
town Is amply able to entertain them
royalty, in such a manner as to reflect
great credit upon the community, and
we are glad to state that the efforts Of
The committees thus far have been very
encouraging.

The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton Is represented in Audubon by
correspondent whose relation to the
organization was explained In these
columns last week. While the best may
be said for the young man who occu-
pies thai Office the benefits will prove
very meagre, for the reason that few
will avail themselves of the advantage
afforded, because of the routine of APP
plication. We believe that with a
strong and united effort on the part of
the young men branch of the Organi-
cation could be established here, such
as would be credit TO the town. Au-
dubon has great many young men
interested in secret societies, (whose in
huelce and benefits we can heartily
commend0 but very small proportion
of the enterprise and energy expended
upon these would put branch of the
Christian Association in a thriving con
dition, and in shape to afford a reading
room for strangers sojourning in teh
city, as well as providing healthy re-
treat for young men of our own city.
1t would as well be great honor and
credit to our town, bespeaking its char
aCter and enterprise. We believe that
the organization could be effected if an
earnest AID persistent effort were put
forth, and hospitable association of
taat nature is needed in the community.

The LITE storms have washed away
a great many of the cor1tJ bridges, and
emphasized the fact that the wooden
concerns are at best but temporary
institutions. In past years the county
has been at an immense expense in sus-
tanning them. Little care has been
taken to make them substantial to a
degree that they might be able to with
stand the influence OF the hooG-,iGe3
that sweep the streams in the frejnets
of spring and the summer storms. They
have been calculated only as temporary
affairs-an expedient in the times of
the ccunty's youth. But the question
now a. .ses, would it not be well for the
county to commence building more sub
stantial bridges Of iron that would
stand the floods and travel of years. 1t
is certainly q more economical plan
than to continue building and rebuild
ing structures that are known to be in
sufficient for the purposes for which
erected. The question is one well
worthy of the consideration of the
county sOlons, as one promoting the
] veal Of the taxpayers Of the county.

There was an interesting game Of pail
last Friday between the married and
single men, which resulted in favor Of
the former by score Of 10 to IA in five
innings. Geo. A. Clark and w. Il.

behind the bat did excellent work that
carried the game for the Benedicts.
They had an electric pitcher in waiting,
but it was all 50 easy that they were not
compelled orecruit. O'Connell occupied
the box for the single men and was
caught well by Baker, but they couldn't
play the whole game against such an
aggregation as the married men pre-.
sented. We understand that the boys
are not satisfied and now insist on an.
other game tomorrow. Later-A game
of six innings was played last evening
in which the mar, ed men won by a
