VISIT OF BISHOP MORRISON
Head of Episcopal Church in Iowa
Administers Rite Of Confirmation.
PRESIDts AT UNION MISSION MEETING
Interesting Services Mt Sc. Paul's and
Grace Churches - Distinguished
PrcInte is Greeted by Large
Congregation ut Both Places.

The Right Rev. Theodore N. Morrison,
Episcopal bishop of Iowa, held confirmation
services yesterday at st. Paul's and Grace
churches.
In the morning the bishop administered
the rite OF confirmation to class of seven
candidates, at St. Pauls, presented by the
rector Rev. George Edward Walk. The can
didates were Mrs. Stevens, Miss Maude
Murphy Miss Fannie Davenport, MIR. l. B.
Rohrer, Mr.. F. II. Miller, Mr.. A. Gaines
and Mr.. S. f. Shuart The bishop preached
forceful sermon, taking his text from Rev
Citations, iv, /. The opening portion of his
sermon was addressed particularly to the
class confirmed and the closing part was
directed to the congregation. This being
Bishop Morrison's first visit to Council
Bluffs since his election the church was
filed, the congregation OF Grace church at
tending the service in body.
The music, specially arranged for the oc-
casion, was particularly fine, the full vested
choir never having been heard to better ad-
vantage. Mr.. l. r. Hall of Chicago, who is
visiting here, sang the solo, "Galillee," by
, Combs, in faultless style. Miss Gertrude
Gleason presided at the organ in the alb
sence of Miss Porterfeld.
In the afternoon at o'clock Bishop Nor
rison presided at a union missionary service
in the same church, at which he delivered
! strong address to the women. He urged
the cooperation of women in church work
and explained the necessity of help being
| extended to those parishes unable to fully
support a priest.
In the evening the bishop confirmed a
| class of five at Grace church, presented by
the rector Rev. r. l.. Knox Those con-
| firmed were Miss Nellie Caughey, Miss Ethel
Crisp, Miss Grace Crockwell Miss Vera
Stork and Mr.. w. Crounse Mcpherson. The
members of st. Paul's attended the services
at this church, the pretty little building
| being crowded to the doors
| Saturday night the bishop was rendered
| an informal reception at ST. Paul's rectory,
where he met a large number of both con-
| gregations. He will stay here today to at
tend the meeting of the Glorious this after
| noon in Grace church. Several ministers
from Omaha are expected to be present.

Johnstown Since the Flood.

To those who saw Johnstown and the
Conemaugh valley in June 1889, says the
Philadelphia Times, it doubtless seemed
impossible that the submerged and utterly
ruined city could ever recover from the
disaster which swept away its industries,
destroyed one-third of its homes and not
less than one-eighth of its people. And yet
what then seemed impossible has been more
than accomplished in the short space of ten
years. The dead could not be recalled to
life, but the obliterated homes have been
rebuilt. the ruined industries restored and
extended and a new, better, and large city
occupies the site Of the town through which
the waters from the South Fork carried such
havoc ten years ago. The rebuilding of a
city of 10000 inhabitants upon the wreck
of a town not more than three-fourths as
populous in the space of a decade consti-
tutes a marvellous example of the indomit-
able spirit and resistless energy of the
American people

SEVERE STORM AT FORT DODGE
Crops Destroyed, Windows Broken
and One Man Crazed by the
Loss of His Home.

FORT DODGE, Ia, June 1S.-(Special)- y
One of the severest hail storms ever known
in this portion of Iowa occurred here about
s o'clock last evening. The storm lasted
for about twenty minutes and was accom-
panied in places by heavy winds. The hail
stones were as large as walnuts and fell
with terrific force. In Fort Dodge there is
hardly place of business or residence in
which some window lights are not broken.
Every skylght in the city is broken. The
rain poured in on the stock in many stores,
causing great damage. Many large plate
glasses were also broken. At the Green
Wheeler shoe factory the windows were
smashed, and at the Larson green house
1000 panes OF glass were broken The dam
age in the city to windows and merchandise
will be very high.
In the surrounding country the damage
was even greater. The small grain is COM
pletely destroyed. The severest part of the
storm occurred at Gowrie. where nearly ev-
cry window In the town was broken. A
heavy wind blew ten freight cars off the
Rock Island track. Several buildings were
destroyed At Barnum, west OF here, great
damage was also done. At Glare, north of
here small tornado struck the place and
several buildings were demolished.
At the place of John Law, west of Glare,
the tornado was most severe. Mr. Law,
with his wife and children, had taken refuge
in the cellar when the tornado completely
demolished every building on the place.
None of the family was hurt, but Mr. Law
is completely crazed and Is now a raving
madman. The damage to buildings, and
especially to crops, is almost incalculable
and will reach high into the thousands of
dollars. The telephone and telegraph COM
panies are suffering great inconvenience be-
cause OF the destruction OF their wires.

RIGHT TO PROPERTY DISPUTED.
Heirs of Mrs. PraIOr Bring Action to
DispOsscs John Lindt.

Heirs of Mrs. PralOr Bring Action TO
DispOsses John Lfndt.
Attorney John Lindt Is not to be allowed
to take possession of the three-story brick
building at 1921 Broadway, erected by the
Schlitz Brewing company, which was
awarded him by a recent decision OF the
supreme court. In addition to an injunction
in the district court restraining him from
entering into possession until the applica-
tion for a rehearing is disposed of in the
supreme court Lindt is now called upon to
defend another action attacking his title.
Suit has been commenced In the United
States circuit court by the heirs of the late
Mrs. Pralor attacking the instrument by
which Lindt claimed to hold title from Mrs.
Pralor.
The plaintiffs in this suit are Frank Pra-
lor and other heirs of the late Mrs. Anna
Pralor. They make the allegation that
Lindt secured Mrs. Pralor's mark-the
woman being unable to write-to the deed
conveying her equity in the property to
Mrs Sarah G.. Lindt at time when Mrs.
Pralor's mind was affected by Ill health. 1t
Is further alleged that Mrs. Pralor at the
time she Is alleged to have set her mark to
the deed was near deaths door, and, in
fact was in state OF semi mi-consciousness
and wholly incapacitated from realizing the
import of her act. The plaintiffs further al
lege that Lindt Is insolvent and that his
creditors are about to levy upon the prop
erty in question and the rental due there
from. They ask that a temporary injunc-
tion be issued restraining Lindt from TAX
ing possession of the property during the
pendency OF the suit, or from mortgaging
It, which they alleged he is very apt TO do.
On final hearing the court is asked to set
aside and declare null and void the con-
veyance from Mrs Pralor to Mrs. Lindt.
The history of this litigation in connec-
tion with the building at 1921 Broadway is
more than ordinarily interesting and is the
only case OF It's character in this district.
The property. before 1t was improved was
owned by Mrs. Pralor, colored woman.
who conducted a saloon on West Broadway
where colored people of both sexes used to
congregate. She became indebted in a large
sum to the Schlitz Brewing company for
beer. The company, in part payment of it's
account, took the lot at 1921 Broadway off
her hands. Shortly after Mrs. Praor's death
Lindt produced a deed to the property made
by Mrs. Pralor shortly before her demise
He brought suit to have the deed to the
brewing company set aside on the grounds
that part OF the consideration had been
liquor, which, under the laws OF Iowa, made
the conveyance null and void. He won the
case in the district court, and on the brew
ing company appealing the supreme court
affirmed the decision OF the lower court and
awarded the property to Lindt, Meantime
the Schlitz Brewing company had erected a
$4,000 brick building on the lot which under
the ruling OF the supreme court becomes
the property of the astute attorney.

SHEEP SHEARING ABOUT OVER

CASPER Wyo., June 1S.-(Special)-T
shearing season is about completed here.
The estimated clip of Natrona county is
1000, 900 pounds. OF this about 100000
pounds have been sent to the wool commits
sion houses on consignment: about 100000
pounds have been sold outright and 600 900
pounds are stored in the county, but will be
shipped out and either sold or consigned as
soon as it can be hauled from the distant
shearing pens. The prices received have
run from 101a to 13& cents per pound, with
an average of II cents.
The wool unshpped is held back on ac-
count of the bad roads and lack of trans
portaton facilities. The heavy rains which
have caused the bad roads have at the same
time put the range in very good condition
and all that is now needed is some warm
weather to bring forward grass very rapidly.
Although sheep losses in the county were
light during the winter the sheep showed the
effects of the hard winter, many of them
being thin in flesh and weak. The ranges
of Natrona county have been fully stocked
for the last three years. Not many sheep
have been brought in lately from outside
states. The wool market is very satisfactory
to the wool growers. 1t is getting better
and wool that sold out at II cents per pound
at the beginning Of the season would now
bring 12IR cents.
