Crops Ready for Harvest Are

Grand Forks, N. D.. July %. About
5 last evening a hailstorm crossed
the valley, doing inealculable damage.
The storm was about five miles wide,
appeared to come directly from the west.
and was central at Cummings, Trail
county. Cummings people say it was the.
worst ever seen In that vicinity. Hall
stones varying In size from that OF a
small marble up to that OF a large egg,
were driven with terrific force before a.
furious wind. cutting down vegetation OF
all kinds and damaging buildings. Every
west window in Cummings Is broken,
water pipes are battered out of shape,
and in some cases perforated as if by
bullets, and the siding on many houses IS
splintered From country districts the
reports are meager. 1t is reported that
Portland and Mayville suffered as heav-
lily as Cummings and that the territory
intervening is swept clean. The country
over which the storm swept had as good
crops as any in the valley. Many of the
farmers would have cut ten bushels pei
acre. and the grain was nearly ready for
harvest. In the entire territory affected
there are over one hundred square miles,,
but how much of this has suffered cannot
now be learned.

official declarations OF Washington
have a "pereeptibly uncertain sound"
and says washington politicians use
a great many words to say q simple

vice of people who wish to slip out Of
an unwelcome obligation. 1T is prob

Worst Tornado In the History Of the
& Red River Valley.


h Hillsboro, N. D.. July 3l.--The tor
yesterday evening was one of the
worst ever experienced in the Red
river valley. The storm passed q
few miles west of Mayyille and Port
land, near the boundary line between
teele and Trail counties, and went
straight east entirely through Traill
county and across the Red river into
Minnesota, where it split, one part 60
Ing east into Beltrami county and the
other veering south to Halsted. The
path of the storm through Trail coun-
sty was five miles wide and thirty-folr
miles long, and the loss is total, not
only all the grain, but all garden veg
etables. Three miles north of Gale
donia the storm struck the house OF
Thomas Everson, totally defnolishing
it and killing the seven year-old son.
s The escape of the other members OF
the family was fairly miraculous, some
of them being carried fcrty rods
Through the air by the wind, but with
out injury.
At Caledonia the city hall and Pres
byterian church were demolished and
nearly every building in the city bad
8 w wrecked. Four miles north Of here
the Synod church was completely de-
stroyed. The damage to stock Is quite
heavy. 1t is expected that full re
ports from Trail county Will show a
loss of property crater than ever has
been known in the state from similar
cause. Horses and cattle In pastures
were crazed by the pelting OF the
hailstones. many of which were as
large as mans fist. The hailstones
lay on the ground three or four Inches
deep after the storm.
Passengers Get Scare.
Jamestown, NJ d, July 81. The
Jamestown & Northern passenger
train was sorry looking sight when
It arrived Saturday night from the

hailstorm when between Cheyenne and
New Rockford. and the passengers and
train crew admit that it was the most
farful storm they had ever witnessed,
Every window except two on the west
side of the coaches was broken and
one window on the side facing east
was smashed. The amount Of damage
to property and crops Is reported to
| have been very large The loss to
the railroad company Is considerable.
Reports from Brinsmede, on the
Jamestown & Northern, are to the eff
fleet that great amount of damage
was done to crops. and especially flax

ANOTHER CHINESE MESSAGE.
IS Dated July Fl and Says Legation
A TO

! Us dated July ~ ana says Legation
5s5 ers Are Safe.
london, July 29.-Lyman J. Cages
statement that there is still hope, but
that it is constantly diminishing, is
held here to define accurately the sit
uation. The Chinese minister in Lon
don yesterday received a telegram
from Sheng, director, Of posts and tele-
graphs, to the effect that the following
from Picking was issued July "a:
ut is fortunate that all the foreign
representatives, except Baron Won
Ketteler. are alive and in safety. Pro-
visions in the shape of braadstuffs
and vegetables are being supplied to
show our good will.
The Morning Post goes SO far as TO
assert that there is no direct commune
cation between London and Picking.
However this may be the attempts OF
Frerch and Italian consuls to
#s Get Direct Replies
have failed, and this, it is said war
rants the conclusion that Picking Is in
the hands of the Boxers. The Shang-
hal correspondent of the Daily. Express
states that three versions of Sir Claude
MacDonalti's letter of July 6 are cur
rent there, and 1t is believed all three
originated from Chinese sources. He
adds, however, that Ii Hung Chang
says the legation party ought to reach
Tien-tsin on Sunday. The Morning
Post correspondent at Chefu, wiring
Wednesday, says there is a rumor
that Prince Ching rescued the lega
'Sions and conveyed them to a place
Of safety. Eighteen missionaries have
been nassacred at Tung-chau, where
the churches have been burned.

United States respectively toward the
