Storm Does Considerable Damage.

The severe storm which swept over
this part of the State carly last We'd
nesday morning did great deal of
damage to corn and grain, in some
sections almost running the crop.
The heavy wind and hail with the
rain laid the grain so low that it is
down in many parts to such an extent
that little can be realized from it.
Windmills and barns were also wreck
ed III some parts of the county, the
damage being so general that it is
useless to attempt to note the damage
done to individual parties. Perhaps
the section of the county which
suffered the most was that north of
the city between Locust and Hesper,
where a strip of country three or four
miles wide was very badly damaged
Our Correspondents each note the
damage done in their section.

Cedar Rapids Business Men Here.

The business mems excursion from
Cedar Rapids yesterday brought about
1875 people to DEBORAH, but on account
of the heavy storm which had damag-
ed the tracks, and the stops ON the
way, they did not arrive until seven
O'Clock. Immediately upon arrival
they marched to the Congregational
church, where the ladies had prepared
a bountiful supper for them, and then
visited among the business men until
s 80 O'Clock, when they left for home
The business men of DEBORAH had ar
ranged to give them carriage ride
about the city and otherwise entertain
them, but this was necessarily dispens-
ed.with on account of the lateness of
their arrival and the inclemency of the
weather.

ATTORNEY L. BULLS DEAD
PIONEER LAWYER OF N. E. IOWA
Other Old Residents and Well Known
Citizens Pass Away. Brief
Obituaries.
LENI BULLS.

The community was shocked on
Saturday morning to learn that Mr..
Levi Bulls, the well known attorney
of this city, had suffered a severe
stroke of paralysis just as he was ris-
ing in the morning, and that he was
unconscious. Loved ones and friends
watched at his bedside until Just be-
fore six o'clock Monday morning,
when he passed away, without regain
ing consciousness.
Levi Bulls was born April 5, 1928,
at Schuyler Falls, New York, moving
in 1853 to Momece, H., and in 1854 to
DEBORAH, where he had lived ever
since. He received his education at
Ballston Law School, Ballston Springs,
n Y, and was married in 1865 to
Miss Abbie K. Dibble, at Whitehall,
n. Y. To them were born seven child
rem, two of whom, one son, Gaylord,
and daughter, have died. The sur
viving members are the wife and
mother; Mrs. d. A. Noyes, Chicago :;
Clela f. Bulls; Mrs. G. j. Weiser !;
Levi f. Bulls, Kenmare, n. d. and
Ruth n. Bulls Mr.. Bulls has been
closely identified with the social, po-
litcal and professional interests of
DEBORAH and Winnesheik county for
half a century, but was never an as
pirant for public favors, the only office
he held being one of the members of
the first Board of Supervisors for this
county.
The funeral services will be held
this Wednesday afternoon at 3 80
O'Clock, from the family home on
Main street, with interment in
Phelps cemetery.
1t would be more fitting for some
one to sketch the life of this pioneer
resident who had been associated with
him as a friend and neighbor longer
than this writer. But we have always
admired Mr.. Bulls for his honesty
of principle and for his open advocacy
of his beliefs on public subjects. He
abhorred all things dishonest, disrepu-
table, and unmanly, and was out
spoken'in his denunciation of what
he believed to be such.
In those nohlest traits and virtues
which constitute the best test of man
hood, Mr.. Bulls believed and practic-
ed. Above all things he loved his
home, and next his office. His life
was spent in these two places. Here
the true character of the man was ex-
emplified. His relations to his home
and family were always most gen
erous and kindly, and to his clients
and opponents most honorable. 1t was
often said of him by his associate
members of the bar of this part of
Iowa that his word was as good as his
bond. And so he lived for nearly
three quarters of a century; man of
honor and integrity, of firm adherence
to his convictions, and of close appli-
cation to his profession.

MRS. X. /. HAUGEN.

On Saturday evening about six
O'Clock, the angel of death entered the
home of Mr.. X. l. Haugen in West
DEBORAH and took from thence the
beloved wife and mother, who had for
a year past been afflicted with con-
sumption, and to whom death came as
a relief from long period of suffer
ing, she having been in poor health
for several years.
Minnie A. Boyd was born in De-
corah, September 2l, 1865, and grew
up TO womanhood here, being united
in marriage to K. L. Haugen, Sept.
II, 1888. Seven children were born
to this union, all but one of whom
survive her, these being all at home.
For several years Mrs. Haugen has not
been of robust health, and about a
year ago her physicians pronounced
her i'll with consumption. She spent
several weeks in Minnesota with rela-
tives, hoping that the change might
prove beneficial, but some time ago
returned home and has since gradu-
ally grown worse until the end came
Those who knew her best speak of her
as kindly dispositioned, cheerful,
happy wife and mother, one who low
ed her home and family ties above all
things else, and whose life was spent
in deeds of love and kindness to those
about her. Her death comes as sad
blow TO her grief stricken husband
and children, who have the heartfelt
sympathy of friends in all sections of
the county.
Brief services were held from the
family home in West DEBORAH yester-
day afternoon, followed by funeral
services at the First Lutheran church,
Rev. /. b. Torrison officiating, with
interment in the Norwegian cemetery.
Relatives present from abroad were

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
WISHING AND WORKING.

1t is popularity believed that warts can
be wished away. But the farmer who
sat down and tried to clear his field by
wishing the weeds away would soon find
his crops gone. II takes working to get
rid of weeds, and the man with the hoe
must put in many long day before he
can take a we'll earned rest.

people treat certain forms of disease as
warts are said to be treated-by wishing.
