HAIL STORMS.

gives an account Of three hail storms in
that vicinity in two days, The storme
were the worst th1t have visited that
part OF the country Tor twenty five years
The hail stones were very large and the
storms were 50 severe that much dam
age was done to fruit trees and growing
crops Trees were striped OF their foil
age. Wheat fields were entirely distroy-
ed Sugar beets were greatly damaged
and all vegetation suffered more or less
Mr., W. L. Webb who is now located
in that section OF tho country saws he
never witnessed anything like il before
lie says the hail fell so thick ana fast

loads OF it. The size being all the way
from the size OF pea to that Of a large

one could see only few feet ahead Of

CRuES0ME CHRISTMAS BOX
N
DOCTORS FREIGHT DELIVERED
AT WRONG PLACE.
Body He Had Procured at a Medical
College for Dissection Sent to
Farmers Young Sons.

Crawfordville, Ind, Dec. 27.-Citi-
zens in and about Bowers, a small
place near this city, are greatly excit-
ed because of a CHASTITY Christmas box
sent to Charles Campbell, a farmer.
Campbell has been on a visit in Da-
kOta for some weeks and before he
left home he instructed his two small
boys to open a Christmas box he ex-
pected to send them. On Christmas
day a box was delivered at Campbell's
home. His sons opened it and we're
Mortified to find it contained the body
of a woman. The limbs and arms had
been severed close to the body to
allow the CHASTITY object to be crowded
into the box. The body was taken from
the box and hung up in the barn,
where it was viewed by scores of peo-
pie. AS soon as the health officers
heard of it they ordered the body cut
down pending an investigation.
1t was soon learned that the body
belonged to DR.. Campbell of Lafayette,
who procured it at the medical college
at Indianapolis and was shipping it
home for dissection. He was able to
convince the officials that everything
was regular. DR.. Campbell secured
the body and took it to Lafayette.

MODERN MIRACLE.
Congregational Preacher Says the
Lord Restored His Sight.

New York, Dec. 27.-Religious cir

announcement by the Rev. Charles M.
Herald, pastor of the Bethlehem Con
gregational church, Brooklyn, who was
recently attacked with blindness while
in the pulpit, that he had recovered.
Mr.. Herald appeared at the council of
ministers at the Emmanuel Congrega-
tional church, and in speaking of his
recovery declared that God had mi
raculously restored his sight. "Physi-
clans told me there was no hope of my
recovering sight," he said. II then
fought the battle, the most stubborn
and trying battle in my many years
experience as a preacher. The enemy
of my soul then appeared and jeered
me: Now do you believe that the
grace of God is all surviving as you
have preached to your congregation
for IL years? How will He help your
God heard my prayer and did what
mar could not do. He restored my
sight"
