Loss Will BE Heavy.


Loss Will BE Heavy.
Throughout Iowa hurricane pre-
vailed greater part of Friday and Fri
day night, and although as far as heard
from there was no loss of life, the prop
erty damage will probably be heavier
than in any other state.
At Des Moines, Boone, Stuart, Mount
Ayr, Ottawa, Muscatine, Marshalltown,
Dubuque and many other places, build
ings were unroofed, windows blown in,
trees uprooted and river craft sunk by the
gale.
At Des Moines alone the damage will
be upward of 100000.
A passenger train running at full
speed was blown from the track, near
Burlington, and four persons injured.

The Would-Be Murderer of His Family
Lynched at Findlay, o.
FINDLAY, April About 1 o'clock
Thursday morning a mob of 1000 men
surrounded the Jail, in which Lytlo, the
man who fatally assaulted his wife and
two daughters Wednesday, was con-
fined.
The windows Of the Jail were broken,
but the cell of the prisoner could not be
reached by that means. Then the de-
ternined men secured oil we'll drills and
battered down the doors, and the mur-
derous wretch was at their mercy. He
was dragged out into the street, and
taken to bridge short distance away.
A rope was put around his neck, and
one end thrown over cross-piece of t. ,
structure, When the mob were in the
act of pulling him up, shot from a re-
volver parted the rope and the wretch
fell to the ground.
But the mob was determined that the
wretch should die. He was quickly
picked up and hustled to the nearest
telegraph pole, where the lynching was
completed. Lytle died without strug-
gle. The authorities intended to secret
ly convey the prisoner to suburb at 1
o'clock, where a train was to have been
taken for Lima, but their plans were
frustrated by the vigilance of the mob.
When the mob made a rush on the
Jail, they did not attempt to get the
sheriff's keys, but hurried back to the
corridor. Lytle was perfectly game, and
called the mob's attention to his own
coll aS tho ona thew wanted
Expected 1t.
Lytle had evidently expected the fate
he met, for he left note asking that his
body be turned over to his brother, and
that it be buried beside his mother.
His victims are still alive, but the
death of Mrs. Lytle and her daughter
Della are hourly expected.

Missouri seems to have been lightly
visited except on the western edge.
Kansas City was roughly shaken up,
and unroofed houses, uprooted trees and
tangled telegraph wires bear testimony
to the strength of the gale.
Sedalia, too, suffered rather heavily,

ally unscathed.

TO make it pleasant for him, we do not feel
like making capital out of his misfortunes
We want to see this campaign conducted
in an honest, decent manner, and we shall
discourage all friends of ours from any at
tempt to make capital for us out of past
circumstances.
PLEASE DON'T.-It has como to our ears
that the Hon. j. William Jones, who has
lately come to reside among us, has recog-
nized our political opponent as man who
was sent TO Jail for six months at Des
Molnes for hamstriDging a horse belong

his man that he is about TO send for a de-
tective to come on with a photograph aud
help him make "A public exposure. We
sincerely hope and trust that Mr.. Jones
will do nothing Of the kind. While there
is no doubt of the correctness Of his sus-
picions and convictions. we entered upon
this campaign with the explicit declaration
that there should DE no mud singing on
our part. Let us look at the major as he
is today, and not as what he was ten or
fifteen years ago. We regard him as a
genial, whole souled man, who will do his
best to I'll the position with honor, II elect
ed, and we look with disgust upon these
efforts to handicap him.
RETURNED WITH THANKs.-The mail yes
terday brought us a sworn statement from
five reputable citizens of Omaha to the ef-
feet that our political opponent was cow
hided in that city by a woman; that he was
known to be a professional gambler; that
he robbed an aged soldier of his pension
money; that he was strongly suspected of
arson; that he bilked hotel for 500, and
that he left town under cloud because Of
a certain robbery. The document was sent
TO us for publication that we might get
che drop oil the major. We return IL today
with thanks While we are fattered by
the interest and energy Of our friends, we
can't bring ourself TO conduct campaign
on eastern principles. We started out to
play fair, and we are going to follow that
policy to the end.
Or COURSE, BUT-One Of our Nevada
exchanges observes that we are honest. up
right, moral, brilliant, wise, philosophical
and an honor to Arizona; also that our
political opponent is ignorant, bigoted, vi
cious, corrupt and ought to go to prison
instead OF to the state senate. Yes we
know all this, of course, but we hope it
won't be used in the campaign to his detri
ment. II we can't be elected on party issues.

quiet, somewhat reserved and very modest
man, who did not care to have his name as
author attached TO the first edition Of q
very remarkable book entitled God In
His World" which was published two or
three years ago. Before that book ap-
peared Mr. Alden was known by name to
a limited circle, who recognized his qualid-
cations for the difficult post of editor. To
be an editor Of magazine Is to be In one
sense drudge, and it is that sort of slavery
which the reading OF thousands OF manu-
scripts involves which led Mr.. Howells to
resign the editorship Of The Atlantic
Monthly, and recently to retire from the
post OF associate editor OF The Cosmopoli-
tan.
Mr.. Alden lives in tho little town Of
Metuchen, N. j.. and with the regularity
of a soldier making his rounds he leaves
his house in the morning, takes the train
for the city, spends the day in his manu-
script Uttered den at Harper's, and in the
evening returns to his home. He is rarely
seen in those places where men OF affairs
gather, and for that reason seems to be out
Of personal touch with the world.
Mr.. Glider. the young editor Of The Gen.

life from Mr. Alden. He has richly fur

he is not at all regular In his attendance
