The levy was recommended as fol-
lows: For county, fifty cents on each
$l0O valuation, the same as last year;
for district road purposes, in the dis.
tricts Of Triadelphia, Richland and
Liberty, twenty-five cents on the 500
valuation, the same as last year; for
that part of Richie district lying with
out the city limits, 'forty-tive cents, an
increase Of twenty cents on the 500
valuation. This increase in the Richie
levy was made because it was found
that there will he some very heavy ex-
penditures needed in that district.
An ordinance was recommended to
the Board appropriating $500 for a
new county bridge over Wheeling creek
at the Steenrod House. The committee
found that the increase in valuation of
the county would make it possible for
the appropriation to be. made without
interfering with any OF the appropria-
lions made last year.

poTtod-ImmcnSe Damage Done.
CHICAGO, June 25.-Advices received
at headquarters of the Chicago& North
western railroad in this city indicate
that the destruction by the cloud burst
in Northwestern Iowa yesterday is more
widespread than the news dispatches
thus far received suggest. From the
damage toits lines actually reported to
the road 1t appears that the delugc GOV.
ers at least portions of the counties OF
Sioux, 0'Brien, Clay, Plymouth, Chero-
kee, Buena Vista, Woodbury., Ida, Sac,
Monoa, Crawford, Carroll, Harrison and
Shelby, covering territory three coun-
ties in width along the western border
Of the State and 1--WE counties in length,
beginning within one tier OF counties
from the northern boundary OF the
State, extending southwark. a
The telegraph lines in this territory
are greatly demoralized and it is hard
to get accurate detailed information
touching general losses. It is known
that an aggregate length OF 1856 miles
of Northwestern branches are entirely
blockaded by the carrying away Of
bridges and washing out OF road beds,
suspending all traffic in such places.
The section OF country whore the food
is most severe is traversed by numer-
GUS branches, not only of the Chicago
& Northwestern but also OF the Illi-
nois Central, the Milwaukee & st. Paul
and the main line OF the Chicago, St.
Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha roads.
The big bridge OF the Illinois Central
at Cherokee over the Sioux river Is
washed away. The officials fear tho
worst, not only as TO the line from
Cherokee to Onawa, but also from
Cherokee to Sioux Falls.

The HeroIsm of a ChiId.

In the Bodleian library at Oxford is
a most touching record of heroism and
self sacrifice on the part of child.
The lower door of st. Leonard's s
church, Bridgeworth, was left open,
and two young boys, wandering in,
we're tempted to mount to the upper
part and scramble from beam to beam
All at once a joist gave way. The
beam on which they were standing be-
came displaced. The elder had just
time to grasp it when falling, while the
younger, slipping over his body, caught
hold of his comrades legs. In this
fearful position the poor lads hung,
crying vainly for help, for no one was
near.
At length the boy clinging to the
beam became exhausted. He could no
longer support the double weight. He
called out to the lad below that they
were both done for.
''Could you save yourself if were to
loose your replied the younger lad.
II think could, returned the elder
"Then goodby, and God bless you"
said the little fellow, loosing his hold.
Another second and he was dashed
to pieces on the stone floor below.
His companion clambered to place
of safety.

Words That Sail Under False colors.


Suppose w8' take up, few of the
words that SEEM toybe sailing under
false colors.
The antelopeis not akin to the in
dustrious ant, nor is he given to elop-
ing except when the hunter is after
him with a gun. He is partly like a
deer and partly like a goat, and re-
ceived his name from two Greek words
--ansthos, beauty ope, eyes. Ante
lope means the animal with the 'beanti-
full eye.
Tulip suggests two lips, and has
served the punster we'll on that ac-
count for many years; but it is the
Spanish tulip, derived from the Persian
dulbahd, a tnrban. The flower and
the Persian turban are much alike both
in form and in name.
Tenpenny nails are not sold at ten
for a penny; nor do you pay ten cents
apiece for them. Penny is in this
word a queer corruption of pound, A
tenpenny nail Is 50 called because 1 200
of that particular size weigh ten
pounds. Fourpenny nails weigh four
pounds to the thousand
Miniature is not picture dimin-
ished, but '(ofiginaliy) one colored with
minimum, or red lead. - Harper's

The Parsons (Kan.) Sun tells this re-
markable calf story: A COW belonging
to Joseph Rowe, a Labette county
farmer, recently gave birth to a calf
which lived only a few days After it
died the COW transferred her affections
to the fourteen-year-old son of the
farmer, for whom she manifests a
strange fondness. She licks him Just
as SHE would a calf, and no one but the
boy can do anything with the dumb
creature.
The other day young Rowe had oc-
csIsion to so to town, and as he re-
manned away until after milking time
his sister put ON suit of his clothes
and went into the barnyard and sue
ceeded in deceiving the COW until she
(the cow happened to see the boy com
ing up the road, when she kicked the
pun over and made a bound in the
direction of the youth, showing the
most unmistakable evidences of de
light.

An Interesting Island.

A naturalist says: zone of the best
shell collecting grounds it was ever my
good fortune to visit was Long Key, in
the Tortugas group of islands, about six
miles from Cuba. This was the she'll
picker's paradise, as an examination OF
the island (an island by courtesy of the
ocean, showed that it was made up OF
shells, their broken fragments principal
ly, the residue being plates of lime
secreting alga and bits of coral Ihave
often sat here and picked until tired
before moving from the spot, the treas
ures being mainly small univalves OF
many species.
"a curious and interesting feature of
this picking was that numbers OF the
shells, especially the little periwinkles,
as we called them. were inhabited by
hermit crabs that, during the operation
of collecting, made not the slightest
demonstration, but once in the pocket
of the finder they would assert them
selves, and soon the shells which you
had placed in these receptacles would
appear streaming out-conchologica
professions that were productive OF
much interest and amusement to by
ISLANDERS. After gale have seen the
shore of this bay so lined with the
beautiful purple ianthina and the little
pearly coiled spirula that the white line
could be traced for a long distance
away. San Francisco Chronicle.

For several years a couple of patri-
archal pelicans have fished for living
Just off the end of my wharf have
repeatedly begged their lives of sport
ing tourists. and 80 accustomed them to
my presence that / could row within an
oars length of them without their TAX
ing fight. have often watched their
operations with curious interest, and
was really much attached to the solemn
looking couple, who. with their smooth
pates and beard like pouches, reminded
me of feathered caricatures of Father
Time. One day on going down to the
beach | discovered one Of my pelican
pets drifting helplessly toward land.
When he came within reach l found
that he was dead, while in his pouch,
with its head completely closing the
birds throat, was a catfish still alive
and measuring fourteen inches in
length.
Its horns stuck out through each side
of the pelican's pouch, and thus the
unfortunate bird had been unable to
either swallow or reject its unwelcome
prey. The pelican's pouch was also
torn and perforated in number of
places, showing that the struggle be-
tween the would-be-swallower and the
uldn't-be-swallowed had been long
and desperate one The fish died few
minutes after being removed from the
trap into which he had fallen. The
bird measured z feet inches from tip
to tip of bis extended wings, and, from
his general appearance, was evidently
patriarch of his race. Forest and

Sublime Confidence in the waiter.


In these days of popular cynicism as
to the reliability of human nature an
incident that occurred at down town

hsal of all the morning papers, was
startled by the unexpected reappear
ance of the waiter with his meal
Warmly grasping the hash handlers
disengaged hand he said in voice
choked by emotion:

started a rilmor couple of hours ago
that you had eloped with the cook or
something, but l said No, give him
