A dog belonging to Sihler Bros, of

attacked little girl living in that part

William and Ross Busby, of Oska-
loosa, aged % and 10 years, were killed
by lightning while in a barn. The
bodies were partly cremated.
New York dispatch: Rev. DIR. Brown
wires from Che Foo that 14s persons
have arrived there, including thirteen
missionaries from Picking and twelve
from Tien Tsin. Among the latter is
Mrs. Frances o. Wilson, sent out by
the Des Moines branch of the Metho-
dist Woman's Foreign Missionary
Society.
1t is asserted that over one-half
the right-of-way has been secured for
the new Des Moines & Northern Iowa
railroad, which is to be built from Des
Moines northward into Minnesota,
connecting with some point on the
Great Northern railway. The survey
has been completed from Boone tc
Britt, and agents of the company are
following up the survey closing con.
tracts for the right-of-way.
Bussey was visited by serious
confiagration, in which $50, 900 worth
of property was destroyed. The fire
started at 1870 a. m. and burned
several hours. Nine buildings and
| the stocks they contained were de-
stroyed. The methods of fighting the
| fire were inadequate, but the citizens
worked heroically. Already the de-
bris is being cleared away, and the
store rooms will be rebuilt at once.
A dispatch says that treasurer Cher
ry of Johnson county did not make
his semi-annual report to the board of
supervisors at the Jure session for the
reason that there is an apparent dis.
crepancy between the amount that
should be on hand as shown by the
| treasurer's books and the amour. OF
cash on hand. 1t appears that there
is shortage of about $4,000. Mr..
Cherry says that the fact that there is
| shortage came to him as a clap oil
thunder out of a clear sky, and he is
unable to account for it. He has
shown his willingness to be investi
gated. however, and has occurred w
o. Waldron of Des Moines to go over
the books since the beginning of hi.

and Mr.. Waldron has been working

Mr.. Cherry has turned over the treas

NEWS In GENERAL
APPALLING CATASTROPHE
Scores OF Lives Lost In Costly Dock
Fire at hObOken, N, J,

New YORK, July Almost $40, 000,-
600 worth of property was destroyed,
many lives were lost, many persons
were injured and at least 1900 lives
were imperilled by fire that started
among cotton bales under Pier of the
North German Lloyd Steamship Com
pany, in Hoboken, N. j., at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. In less than
fifteen minutes the flames covered an
area quarter of mile in length, ex-
tending outward from the actual shore
line to the bulkheads, from 600 to / ZOO
feet away, and had caught four great
ocean liners and dozen or more
smaller harbor craft in it's grasp.
Stories in regard to the loss of life
are conflicting, the number being
variously estimated at from fifty to
200. Up to midnight ten bodies had
been recovered, but they were all
burned and blackened SO that identi-
fication was impossible. The hospitals
in New York. Hoboken and Jersey
City are crowded with the injured.
The flames started so suddenly and
gained such Roadway that the people
on the piers and on the numerous yes
sells locked were unable to reach the
street. There were great gangs of
fworkmen on the piers, and these, to-
gether with a number of people who
were at the docks on business and Wis
iting the ships, scattered in all direc-
tions. AS all means of exit were cut
off by the flames, they were forced to
jump overheard, and it is believed a
great number of people were drowned.
| At the docks of the North German
Lloyd were the Saale, a single screw
passenger steamship of 4,965 gross
senger and freight steamship of 0,526
tons, and the Main, twin-screw
freight and passenger steamship of
10000 gross tons. They all caught
fire and were burned to the waters
edge. The Kaiser Wilhelm Der Crosse,
which had just come in, was the only
one of the big vessels at the dock that
escaped, and it was slightly scorched.
Then by shift in the wind the flames
were sent in the direction of the dock
of the neutrality-suspicious. line, at
which the steamship Phenicia was
locked. The flames got a good hold
on the PhGnicia and she was lowed
out into mid-stream ablaze, and was
badly damaged, but not destroyed.
Men working in the holds of the
steamships were shut in by walls of
flame and it was impossible. to reach
them. 1t probably never will be
known how many men persisted in the
ships, as the flames were so fierce they
would leave but few if any remnants
of the human body.
The loss of the North German Lloyd
docks alone is placed at $4,000, 200.
The value of the great quantity of
cotton, oil and various other merchan-
! disc on the docks has not been esti-
mated at this time. The loss to the
North German Lloyd Steamship Com
pany alone will probably come close
| to SIC, 600 900.

Germans killed, Is; wounded, 81; Rus

Admiral Seymour, Chinese regulars
under General Mich, says a dispatch
from Shanghai, again attacked Tien
Tsin fiercely and bombarded the for
eign settlement with terrific fire.
Railway communication from Taku
to Tien Tsin has been restored, and
the force is advancing toward Picking.
Fighting was in progress Wednesday
in the vicinity of Use Chulin. Large
preparations are being made to sup
port and reinforce the Picking relieving
column. Twenty thousand troops of
all arms, largely Japanese, have now
been landed. The fate of the members
of the legation is still mystery. If
they are alive and unframed at Picking,
the Chinese government deserves some
credit, Shanghai correspondents think,
for restraining the fanatical mob.
