WIND AND LIGHTNING
Fierce Storm Breaks Over Town,
Damaging Property.

After a sultry day of humid atmos'
phere a storm came up from the north
Tuesday evening and broke over the
city about eight O'Clock. 1t was not
so severe as its appearance indicated,
but the wind was strong enough to
do considerable damage. Trees and
limbs were wrenched on all over
town and the streets were paved with
foliage. Roofs were damaged, out
houses over turned, and wires of all
sorts were crossed, broken and
grounded.
Perhaps the most serious damage
was done to the new house that Walter
Wilson 10 building on North Third
street. The lining and sheeting was
all on and the outside finishings had
been begun. The wind lifted the
structure from it's foundation and
moved it ten or twelve feet, and then
crushed it like an egg shell. Bits OF
timber and shingles were carried sew
eraI blocks from the scene. ;. b.

The roofs on the w. A Sewers
buiIdiDg on the corner OF First avenue
and Market street, and the Winter
building on High avenue west, oc-
cupied by Wells & Pilgrims plumbing
shop, were damaged.
The roof on the Gibbs building In
which the Home Telephone ofhces
are located rolled mp and crashed
through the skylight over the switch
board. while the property damage
was slight, the service was knocked
out for the plight as the Doard mao 10

fered considerable damage. Tne large
wires were kept intact, but numerous

out.

There was regular ith of July cele

A small Cyclone.
A. N. Graves, living on the Wheel
er Moorehouse place, four miles
northwest of town on the Pella road
was in town to-day and reports seri.
GUS damage in that section. 1t was
the second storm, about midnight,
that struck with most force and it
assumed the nature of cyclone. A
path about two rods wide was al
most completely stripped OF trees.
A big cottonwood tree three feet in
circumference was snapped off and
fell on the house occupied by Mr..
Graves and family. Fortunately it
did not crush the house, but broke the
cornice off, knocked the chimney
down and punched several holes
through the roof. The household was
pretty badly scared, but escaped all
injury.

WHY DON'T THEY Go?
WAY To PUSH OFF THE Hang oN's,

Perhaps some day you will wake up to the fact
for you. You wonder why the symptoms of dis
ease. which grow more and more pronounced, do
not disappear, but hang in spite Of all the
medicines you can take.
Fixed organic disease may result If you keep up
your present course, and yet il is easy thing to
give up coffee and get well. Have your cook make
Postum Food Coffee strictly according to direc-
lions and that is easy. Use enough Of It and boil
long enough 10 bring out the taste, then you will
find that the famous food drink will satisfy your
coffee taste and the old troubles gradually disap-
pear.
There hundreds Of thousands of cases in
America that prove the truth of this statement.

Hill, the Canals Friend.
From the New York Times.

iIoul tIt new 1OTh IlLtS-
That lion-hearted champion of the 18TH
milan canal James ]. Hill, has not too soon
or too loudly raised the voice of warning
against the folly of building a waterway
subject to destruction by the terrific vol
canoes that stud the Nicaragua route.
His is the voice of sincere solicitude, the
heartfelt. earnest appeal of a man known
the world over as the great bulwark of our
canal policy.
When the cloud-percing volcanoes of the
Nicaragua route are sketched for US by the
hand of some promoter of the American
syndicate that has acquired an interest in
the Panama canal which it is anxious to
part with for cash to the United States
government we perceive the motive of sor-
did calculation. When persons VIGOROUSLY
hostile to any canal draw up the awful
catalogue of the eruptions, quakings, cata-
clysmS and catastrophes that have shaken
and torn Nicaragua and Costa Rica since
the dawn of history, in contrast with the
lovely peace and tranquility of the Pana-
ma region, the familiar policy of employ
ing the remote project to kill off the one
that is near and imminent is again reveal
ed But James ]. Hill speaks with the per-
feet disinterestedness of these railroad con-
nectionS:
President of the Great NOrthern Railroad
Company.
President Of the Northern Securities Com
panY.
Director of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railroad Company.
Director of the St Paul Minneapolis and
Manitoba Railway Company.
Director of the Mason City and Fort
Dodge Railroad Company.
Director of the Erie Railroad COmpany
No man in the country has so many rea-
sons for viewing with alarm the proposal
to build canal under the belching craters
of Coseguina and Ometepe.
what a contrast between these sober and
WeIl-wefghed words of Mr.. James J. Hill,
as eminent for his scientific knowledge of
the habits of volcanoes as he is for his I'M
selfish devotion to the cause of the in
ter-oceanic canal, what a contrast we saw
between his warning utterance and the
llght-minded and frivolous observations Of
the isthmian canal commission.
Strangely enough, the isthmian canal
commission failed to report upon the dam
ger that the canal would some time be
overwhelmed by volcanic fires and filled up
solid full of lava. The members of the
commission went over the route They
must have seen the hundreds of volcanoes
spouting forth molten matter, superheated
steam. fire and birthstone Probably thew
did not know what they were.

USE OF PUBLIC SPACE.
Recommendation Made to Commits
sioners Upon Two Requests.

The attention of the District Commits
sioners was invited several weeks ago to
the fact that there are no trees on the
north side of New York avenue between
9th and eth streets; that the sidewalk Is
Obstructed by lumber on the south side
of the same avenue between 9TH and 9th
streets, and that a portion OF the reserva-
ton has been fenced in on 4th street be-
tween y and streets.
The acting Engineer Commissioner has
recommended that Messrs. Libbey and Mil
Ter be informed that they are at present
making an unauthorized use Of the public
space for the storage of lumber at New
York avenue and 9th street and that they
will be required to discontinue such use
unless they secure, prior to January l next,
the written consent of all owners of prop
erty fronting on either street or avenue on
which it is desired to make such use of
public space within 200 feet of the lumber
yard
1t is explained that the fence placed
around the reservation at 4th and streets
was constructed under the supervision Of
the officer in charge of public buildings
and grounds.
A request was recently made of the
District Commissioners by Mr.. Thomas
w Smith OF LIST and Indiana ave
nue. northwest that he be permitted to
occupy the parking space on south, west
and north sides of the square south Of
square IA and the south and east sides Of
square IA for the purpose of piling lum-
Der.
The matter was investigated by the en-
gineer department and the conditions in
that locality taken into account On rec
concentration of Captain H. c. Newcomer
acting Engineer Commissioner it was to-
day decided that the permission desired
will not be granted without the written
consent of all the owners of property
fronting in the street so used within 200
feet of the lumber yard.
