A Young Cyclone.

The upper and eastern portions of
Scott county were swept by a Soung
cyclone Saturday afternoon resulting in
the greatest damage ever done by storm
in that county. The northern part of
Davenport township and Pleasant Valley
township constituted the scene of the
greatest destruction. A large number of
buildings, trees and shrubbery was dam
aged. The nature of the storm was
something OF a cloud burst.
The storm took the roof off Shephard's
mill and house on the Iowa side about 8
mile above Hampton, and then crossed
the river striking the farm of George W.
Bowles about mile above Hampton,
destroying an immense barn on the
premises, and tore through the timber
toward the bluff, demolishing barn on
Peter Candles place and destroyed the
tower the government surveying corps
erected. Jacob Cewe's house was moved
off its foundation, but no other serious
damage done.

Young America was jubilant.


Young America was jubilant.
There were no fires fortunately, though
there was plenty of powder and smoke.
There were a number of very hand
some street and house decorations.
The fact that the day passed without a
mishap at the Columbian grounds is
highly gratifying.
/ A salute of A guns, one for each state
in the Union was fred at noon yesterday
from the Arsenal opposite the Columbian
grounds.
1t is estimated that there were between
Is. 600 and 90. 900 strangers in the three
cities during the day all drawn here by
the Twin City Columbian celebration.
The people of Hampton INDUCED in a
Fourth Of July celebration of the good
old fashioned kind. An Grafton was de-
livered by S. W. Searle, of Rock Island
and in the evening there was q very
creditable display of fireworks.
The street cars hauled more people on
the lines on this side of the river than
they have ever hauled before on the COM
bined lines of the system on a single oc-
casion, and gave splendid service to the
Columbian grounds and to the Tower
The events Of the day demonstrate the
success of the Columbian exposition pro-
iect beyond doubt. The accessibility
Of the grounds and the great possibilities
in their arrangement were apparent to
all. Now for Labor day and Pompeii
the SAM week.
Capt. M. W. Lyons. chairman of the
general committee on arrangements, is a
host in himself. He was on the grounds
from early dawn until the last light went
out and in his work he was actusted en-.
tirely by patriotic instincts and public
spirit and pride in the immunity in
W hich he resides.

RUSSIA.

Matters in the famine stricken as
tricts of Russia are growing worss.
In some instances the peasants exaSr
perated by hunger and sickness have
turned against the doctors, and the:
physicians are fleeing in terror: The.
plague stricken people are tearing up
the railroad tracks so that there is am
absolute panic all over that section.
The physicians are unable to cope with
the grippe and it is decimating its
thousands. It shows that all the pub
lished remedies for the grippe have
proven useless. The best remedy IS
that which will stimulate the Stomach,
incite the kidneys to action, and
soothe the inflamed tissues Of the
lungs. There is nothing that does this
so well as REID'S GERMAN COUGH
AND KIDNEY CURE. 1t contains mo-
opium or poison, but it will accomplish
eli that is claimed for it. When YOU
have the premonitory symptoms of
grippe get this remedy and take it in
small but frequent doses and it will
cure you. Get it of any dealer.

elLkiNs. THE HUMoRIsT.


Bilkins, the humorist, scratched his head,
Its hard to be always funny" he said;
ITO turn out two columns week OF wit,
It's enough to make my poor head split"
Just then, down the stairs, with chatter and
noise,
Came into the room his fair-haired boys;
Haryld the gray-eyed, Willie the blue.
And star-eyed Teddy, Just turned two
How they teased him-each merry lad;
They pulled his hair-what little he had;
And tire qua stions that came from each little elf
Would puzzle the Sphynx to answer herself.
Poor Bukins' head Sc am round and round
Until he could scarcely see the ground,
TIL he suddenly tho lght OF brilliant scheme,
And his ceuntenancs shone with Q smile su-
preme
He wrote all about the gold-haired boys,
About their questions and their noise:
OF what they did and what they said,
But chiefly he wrote Of little Ted.
Ere long the letter was almost through
Finished, al but sentence or two
'T'm glad that's over" so Bilkins said,
And he went for . frolic with little Ted.
So the manuscript lay on the dusk all night
But visitor came before the light,
And left that house to . desolate day,
For he took little gold-haired Teddy away.
An. The world seemed bleak and drcar that
night
As Billxins sat down TO his desk to write.
1.-THE living must live tho the loved are dead;
must finish this letter''-so Bilkins said.
Then he wrote, while his heart was numb with
pain,
OF tease who would never tease again:
And he wrote, tho the page was blotted with
tears,
OF brave little Teddy's hopes and fears.
Then the last words, that were almost prayer
And almost Q CRY OF dark despair,
About men who work and women who weep
While gold-haired Teddy lies still--asleep.
Over tho country the papers sped;
And Bnkins' letter was widely read.
They laughed at the pranks Of the gold-haired
boys,
And smiled over Teddy's childish joys.
But when they came to the sad last part
An aching came into each mothers heart;
And each father said, as he looked away:
why! Bilkins isn't so funny to-day"
