FURIOUS STORM.
Great Damage Done in the South Part
of Buenn Vista County by Hail,
Wind and Rain.

In the south part of Buena Vista
county wheat and oats were destroyed
by hail, and the damage will be large.
AT Storm Lake the vegetable crop of
Hill Bros. was almost total loss. The
county has also lost a number of
bridges. The Minneapolis g. st. Louis
grading camp near Storm Lake was par
TALLY carried away by the sudden ris-
ing of small creek near the camp.
The lake has risen two feet, and is still
rising. At Rolfe great damage was
done by the wind and rain. The roof
was blown from the Hotel Tremaine
and the house considerably damaged
by the rain, which blew in sheets.
Many other buildings were injured.
Two men were seriously hurt. A trav-
cling man named McPetrie was blown
full of glass and may not live. At
Pocahontas considerable damage was
done by the heavy winds. The roof
of the new creamery was blown off,
and the Christian church shared the
same fate. At Vincent a number of
large corn cribs were injured and other
damage done.

IOWA STATE NEWS
CRIMEAN WAR HERO,
Town Has One in the Person Of
Thomas Housby, Who Was in
the COIdstrenm Guards.

Iowa has in the person of Thomas
Housby, a resident of Youngstown, a
citizen who is one of the few survivors
of the Crimean war. Mr. Housby is
now 65 years of age, but he appears
much younger, and he is still an active
miner in the employ of the Gibson Coal
company. Mr.. Housby is native of
the county of Cumberland, in England,
and there, at the age of 20, he enlist
ed in the First battalion of the Cold
stream guards, one of the most famous
regiments in the British service.
Mr.. Housby is proud of his record,
and he still wears with pride the sill
yer medal with which he was presented
by the British government after the
fall of Sebastopol. The medal is of
heavy silver. On one side it bears the
profile of Queen Victoria, at that time
but a young woman. On the reverse
side is stamped the regimental arms,
with the date 1854, the year of Housby's
enlistment. On the edge of the same
medal is the name of the owner, with
the battalion and regiment to which
he belonged,

GIVE up THEIR ARMS.
Over Eighteen Hundred Rebels I'm
der Chief AIataafa in Samoa
Surrender.

Washington, June 1.-THE secretary
of state has received the following
cablegram from Bartlett Trip, the
United States representative on the
Samoan commissions:
"Apia, May 81. via Auckland, N. a., June
6.-Mataafa disarmed. Over 1880 rebels
surrendered.
(Signed) "TRIP.
Apia, Samoa, May 81, via Auckland,
N. H., June 7.-Malietoa and Tamassese
have visited the members of the Samoan
commission on board the United States
transport Badger and N[ataafa visited
them the following day. Neither OF
them was recognized as king. Mataafa
expressed willingness to abide by the
commissioners decision and blamed
the Europeans for the trouble here.
The commissioners informed him that
they had power to establish a govern
ment with or without king. Mataafa
thought the Samoans should have a
king, but expressed willingness to dis
arm his followers and leave the matter
in the hands of the commission.
The Germans acted, for the first time
in many months, with the representa-
tives of the other powers, and have Off
cially sent a guard ashore.
The naval authorities and the mission
societies have submitted their views to
the commission and the latter, by
proclamation, fixed May 81 as the date
for the natives to surrender their arms.
Mataafa, however, asked for an extern
sion of the time until Tuesday, when he
surrendered 1900 guns on board the
Badger. The Malietoans are now dis
armed.
The United States cruiser Philadel-
phia, flying the flag of Admiral Kautz,
sailed May 21, and the British and Ger
man consuls, Mr.. E. B. F. MaXse and
Herr Rose, proceed to Europe. June II.
The natives are gaining confidence
and are freely submitting their griev-
ances to the commission.
The natives brought here from other
islands at the time of the disturbances
will be returned to their homes, and all
the warships will probably leave Samoa
at an early date.
The residents of Apia express dissat-
isfaction at the indications given by the
commission that the rebels will not be
punished and that they will also be
paid for arms illegally imported. They
consider this bad precedent, but it is
admitted this is too early to criticise the
action of the commissioners.

VALUE OF A KISS.
Please the Kisser and He Is
Shot by the Woman Kissed.

Because R. w. Boeger, Of Grand Riv-
er, refused to satisfy judgment of
$500, Mrs. May Bremen fired two shots
at him, one taking effect in his side,
and from the effects of which he may
die. The judgment represents an Iowa
jury's estimate of the value of a kiss
stolen by Boeger from Mrs. Bremen.
Boeger, without discriminating himself
as to the amount he considered the due
OF Mrs. Bremen, appealed the case to
the supreme. court. The whole section
was aroused and was anxiously await
ing the decision of the higher court.

After Nine Years.

Nine years ago George Bryant, a
young man living near Sabula, while
blowing, lost his watch, and it has just
been found. The young man is now
dead, but his brother has the watch and
values it highly. 1t is well preserved.
The hands have rusted away, and the
main spring is injured. A jeweler, who
has the watch, says that he can put
it in good running order at small ex-
pense. The land where the watch was
lost was plowed for six years, and then
seeded down for a pasture for three
more. This spring it is being plowed
again. with the result the watch was
found.
