SWEPT BY STORMS.
Several of the Northwestern States

terrific storm passed over this place.
Shade trees, telephone and electric
poles and wires are tangled in an in
tricate mass and fill the streets, The
bell of the Universalist church was
blown from the roof and demolished.
OuthOuses and barns have suffered Sc
verely. \ thousand shade trees were
broken off or uproOted. ID. J. Spauld-
ing's brick warehouse and root cellar
were demolished.
Three young men cleaning brick at
the old iron furnace took shelter be-
hind brick wall which blew over on
them. They are all badly hurt and
may die. Their names are Conrad
Olsen, Edward Linnell and Herbert
Adams.
The damage to growing crops is
very severe, and reports from the line
of the Green Bay railroad Indicate
that the storm was much more severe
further inland. A peculiar feature of
the storm was the severe lightning.
Lincoln, Neb., June 2s.-Specials
from Bancroft, Homer and Norfolk
tell of disastrous wind storm which
swept over Northeastern Nebraska. A
good deal of small grain was blown
fiat upon the ground and corn was
damaged. Many trees and small
houses were blown down. The wind
tore across a corner of the Winnie
bago Indian reservation with the fury
of a tornado, and here the greatest
damage was done. Several buildings
at the agency were blown away.
There is no known loss of life or Sc

the home of Harvey Queen on the

children, who were in the lower

them were buried in the debris. Vena
Queen, aged IS, was still alive when
eXtricated from the ruins, but she can
not survive her injuries. The others
were painfully but not seriously hurt.

at the Transformation in her. In her
evening dress, she looked like flower
which had never been touched by
storm.
After they had left the table she
followed him to the door of his study,
but he coldly begged to be left alone,
and asked her to send James to him.
The servant found him at his desk.
II want you to bear a message for
me. James," he said. Il want 10 have a
private talk with Mr.. Ronald Fanshaw.
Go over TO his house and present my
compliments, and ask him if he will
do me the honor of calling on me this
evening if he has no previous engage
ment. You remember my exact words,
james,"
The servant repeated them.
THAT will do, and when he comes
show him into this room, and see that
we are not disturbed"
Thank you, subj"
About eight o'clock Ronald rode up
to Carnleigh and turned his horse over
to a waiting groom. At the foot of the
steps he was met by James, who, in a
low, guarded voice, invited him into his
masters study. As he passed the win
dow of the drawing-room the young
man had a fiashlight view of Evelyn as
she sat reading at the center table I'M
der a tall lamp with pink shade. He
had never seen her countenance so ra-
dainty aglow. The thought took pos
session Of his brain that ii was due to
his release from prison, and that idea
was infinitely sweet to him after what
he had been forced to endure.
As he entered the colonei's study,
from the walls of which family por-
traits leaned downward in deep, old
fashioned gilt frames, a casual observer
would have taken him for a man of the
world rather than man whose life ex-
periences were bounded by thel limits of
a single county.
First of all" said the colonel, as he
extended his hand, stiffly, 81 must con-
graduate you upon your escape from
that disagreeable affair. was rejoiced
at the outcome"
Ronald thanked him, surprised at his
own calmness; the warm memory of
Evelyn's face, as he had just seen it, in
spired him with strange, unexpected
confidence in himself. The chair he had
been given was quite near Hasbrooke's,
and as the colonel continued to speak
he leaned his head on his hand, his ell
bow resting on his desk. This posture
threw his face somewhat into the
shadow.
Il may as well come directly to the
point, Mr.. Fanshaw," in a forced. tense
tone. ITO be frank, find myself COM

be so, it is a comfort TO be in the power
Of fearless man, and one who would,
I am confident, despise to take unfair
advantage of me-"
Il am sure l do not understand" fall
tered the visitor, in surprise.
The old man twisted himself round
in his chair; the lamplight brought his
strong features out in minute lineality
against the wall behind him.
You nave me, Mr.. Fanshaw, as COM

feet and you held a saber against my
heart. Ny daughter has withheld moth

III, she loves you as she loves her life.
She believed you have been greatly

that has intensified her love. At first

unfair advantage of her experience in
worldly matters, but am now forced TO
admit that you have done nothing /
should not have done had the woman
been as attractive personally as my
daughter. 1 know you must care for
her, Fanshaw, and that is why l have
sent for you to unbosom myself"
The speakers words had been grow
ing more and more ;ndistinct, until
they finally died in the still room. Ron
aid knew that he was expected to reply,
but he could gather nothing betting
the moment from the mass of thoughts
and emotions that seethed in his heart.
At this point a bar of soft, ripping
notes came from the piano, and they
were caught up by a sweet, well-trained
voice singing a happy song. The old
man held up his hand.
You see how she feels, Fanskaw,''
he said, huskily; 'since your arrest she
has looked more dead than alive. Twas
seriously afraid she would not survive
But YOU see how she is now: / told her

Between us repeated Ronald. stin
in the dark as to what was expected Of
him.
Hasbrooke's face under the ordeal be-
fore him took on the color of ashes, and
as he began to speak again he picked
the nap from the sleeve of his coat with
the mechanical action of a dying man.
Perhaps, Mr.. Fanshaw, it may be as

honor"
Hasbrooke paused, taking q full
breath. 1t was evident to Ronald that
the climax was near, but he made nc
comment. The room was very still; out
side of it could be heard only Evelyn's
sweet, ringing notes. A vague, unac-
countable despair had seized or the
young mans heart. He knew not what
was coming, but whatever il was would
not be pleasant.
''You see, Fanshaw," the colonel
seemed to pull himself up 10 his task
with extra effort, IF my daughter must
marry and bring children into the
world, should naturally desire the al
lance TO be with man against whose
family there had never been a charge of
dishonesty"
Ronald breathed hard. The last
word had fallen like a powerful
weight which crushed out the last bit
of hope he had ever had of fighting
the worlds difficulties.
Il think l understand. Col. Has
brooke" he heard his words jarring
against the sweet floating sounds of
Evelyn's voice, which was rising like
happy prayer to heaven.
The colonel leaned forward almost
in an attitude of pity.

The ships in the harbor-the white sails

The ships in the harbor-the white sails
are furled;
Weary the voyage from over the world;
Weary the tossing on billowy foam;
But the captain is glad, and the sailors
sing ''Home!''

Home at last-at last!

lies
Under the stars of the shadowless skies.
Safe from the seas where the solemn
wrecks roam,
And captain and sailors are singing of
home.

From the wave and the blast,
Home at last-at last!
The ships in the harbor from oceans
black nights;
The shore bells rang sweetly, and Loves
were the lights!
And fairly they twinkled far Ger the white
foam
The lights in the beautiful windows of
home.
Home at last
From the wave and the blast,
Home at last-at last!
Oh ship, safe in harbor for all the long
years,
Are you freighted with love-are you
freighted with tears?
Do you bring to my soul from the storm
The lips that sing love and the heart that
makes home?
Home at last
After wave and the blast
Home at last-at last!

ciaD.-There are few men and women
in this state or indeed in the whole
northwest, who have not heard, or do
not know personally Mrs. Henriette C.
Olberg of this city.
Mrs. Olberg was Judge of Linen and
Linen Fabrics at the Worlds Fair, at
Chicago, and Superintendent of Flax
Exhibit at the International EXPOSE
ton at Omaha, Nebraska, in 1898. Mrs.
Olberg is Secretary of the National
Flax, Hemp and Ramie Association,
and Assistant Editor of the "Distaff."
Her official duties are naturally very
onerous, and involve a great deal of
travelling and living away from home.
She says:
During the Worlds Fair in Chicago,
my official duties so taxed my strength,
that 1 thought I would have to give
them up. Through the continual
change of food and irregular meal
hours, and poor quality of water, I
lost my appetite, and became wakeful
and nervous in the extreme. My Kid
neys refused to perform their usual

me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and sent
