OTTUMwA, May 19.-The heavy rains
have threatened many washouts on the
various railroads running into this city.
At Cromwell the hail stones were from
five to nine inches in circumference and
went through wooden awnings and
frail roofs like bullets. Crop reports
along the "Q'' lines indicate no damage
done yet to small grain and fruits, al.
though some corn is washed out. The

broomcorn, and had never seen 1t sell
for more than $50 ton.
The broomcorn item drew attention to
others, one of which was 153 pounds OF
turkey at 21 cents pound. The Secre-
tary of State was wild. He had paid
only II cents a pound for his Thanks
giving turkey, and Secretary Markley
proved by the bills of the Napa Insane
Asylum for the same month that the
sueculent bird had cost that institution
only IA cents a pound.
Then it was discovered that potatoes
were charged at the rate of 81 30 a

State institutions go no higher than oi
cents per hundred pounds, the lowest
figure being IL cents.
Ut was further found that butter had

A PIONEER GONE.
Death of Benjamin F. Alexander, an
ArgOnaut of 40.

Benjamin Franklin Alexander, one OF
our oldest and most respected citizens,
died yesterday at his residence on D
street in this city at the advanced age
of S6 years.
Mr.. Alexander was born in South
Carolina January %, 1911, and while
a boy emigrated with his fathers fam
lily to Tennessee, where he grew up to
manhood. He then located in Brandon,
Miss, and for some years carried on
successfully the business of contractor
and builder and bore a conspicuous part
in the flush times of the Brandon
Bank, the failure of which was so dis
astrous to him and large number Of
the solid men of Mississippi
On June Is, 1887, he was united in
marriage to Caroline w. Hiveley, who
survives him. The result of that union
was five children, three Of whom now
reside in our State - Judge John K.
Alexander, formerly District Attorney
of this county and now a resident Of
Monterey County; Daniel E. Alexander,
prominent lawyer of this city, and
Frank A. Alexander, now and for some
years past railroad agent at Suisun
City. Mr.. Alexander left Brandon and
located in Jackson, Miss, in 1889, and
remained there until the fall of 1S49,
when, with the hope of bettering his
fortune, he started for California, where
he arrived in January, 1850. He To-
Gated in Sacramento and resumed his
business of contractor and builder, and
accumulated a small competency, VEN
turing now and then in the mining in
terests. notably the Woodhome quartz
claim in Calaveras County.
Deceased was one of the oldest, if not
the oldest, Mason in the State, having
joined that order in 1887 at Brandon,
Miss. He was a member of and helped
to organize Concord Lodge, No. III, F.
and A. NJ, and was also a member of
Sacramento Chapter, No. 3, r. A. NJ,
and has always been an earnest, active
ard consistent member, ever ready to
