Heavy Storm a, Sioux CITY.

SIOUX CITY, May pa severe thun-
der. and rainstorm struck Sioux City
last night and for over two hours the
rain fell in torrents. The lightning
was very severe and it struck in sew
eral places in the city, but no serious
damage is reported. For nearly two
weeks it has rained every day and this
last storm, it is feared, must have done
some damage to the farms. Reports
from the surrounding country indicate
the storm was general.

There is more Catarrh in this section

put together, and until the last few

For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by constant.
ly failing to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti.
tutional treatment. HALLS Catarrh

SEVEN DIE IN A CYCLONE.
Terrific Storm Desolates Vicinity of Bijou
Hills. s. ID

Terrific Storm Desolates Vicinity of Bijou
Hills, S. d.
CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., May 29.-Word
reached town yesterday Of a disastrous
and fatal cyclone, which passed across
the country in the vicinity of Bijou
hills, 25 miles south of this city, Satur.
day afternoon between and 5 o'clock,
resulting in the death Of seven persons
and the serious injury of three others.
The killed are:
CHARLES PETERSON.
SIX CHILDREN of Charles Peterson, the
latter being three boys and three girls,
ranging from to 10 years of age.
The wife and two remaining children
We're SO badly injured that they may
also die.
The cyclone formed on school section
in plain view Of hundreds and moved
in a southerly course, the first place
reached being that of ART Coden, which
was totally destroyed. The storm then
destroyed church and school house,
after which it reached the Peterson
place, where the execution done was
simply appalling.
The dead and injured are strown all
about the premises, all being bruised
and manned in shocking manner,
while the buildings were smashed into
splinters.
After doing it's worst here, the cy-
clone destroyed the Criegor premises,
then passing into the range of hills
skirting the Missouri river, where it ap-
pears to have been dissolved. The
path covered by the storm was about 90
rods wide and about three miles in
length. The wind was accompanied
by heavy fall Of rain and hail, the
latter being as large as goose eggs.
The cyclone was fearfully destructive,
everything in it's course being com.
pletely destroyed large amount OF
stock also being killed. This is the
first cyclone that has ever appeared in
this section Of the country.

A GREAT SUCCESS.
The Old Maids Meet in Convention
and Captivate the Audience.

The Old Maids Convention drew a
crowded house. The local hits were
we'll thought out, good naturcdly TAX
en-, and roundly applauded. The mat
rimonial market was doomed, and the
eligible men in demand.
The costumes of the Old Maids were
not only typical, but becoming. The
performers acted we'll their parts.
Their voice, gestures, and enuncia-
did credit to them all. We cannot in
dividualize: but we only voice the
opinion of scores in saying that it
was not generally known that there
was so much dramatic talent hidden
among these delightful Old Maids.
Most of them were made over, by
means of wonderful machine, of
which DR.. Hales was the proprietor.
Some were made into butterflies,
others into dolls, two into man, and
others into heavenly twins. As the
result of this evolution, Mrs. Homer
Snow and Miss Gale played beaut-
full duet, and Mr.. Hughes and Miss
Phillips each sang well received
solo. The French Doll, represented
by little Agnes Poquette, was charm
ing beyond description. Little Miss
Temperance Knight recited, to the
amusement of all.
The always popular Mineral Point
orchestra was on hand and did its
full share to make the evening one
long to be remembered and one thing
we are glad to note, is the growing
appreciation of the value of such a
musical combination in any place.
We cannot give all the names OF
those who helped to give such an en-
ioyable evening. for their Individual
ity was lost in the characters they
represented.
The receipts Of the evening amount
ed to 800. -.
In response to urgent requests, an
adjourned session Of the convention
was held on the following evening
when an opportunity TO witness the in
teresting proceedings was afforded
those who could not gain admittance
the first evening. and the receipts Of
the adjourned meeting amounted 10
$40.
The ladies Of the Star are to be CON
graduated upon their successful con-
yention.
