With high hopes aud a happy smile Of

ever came the uuwelcome news that
there bad been an accident, and with
the news came wheel from the aR-
cient hack. It was pToperly repair

night James Horning dreamed that

from the west, brought a wheel fro a

GNATs AND LIGHTNING.
Fevers and Storms, Heat and Thunder
These Hurried Moore Home.

] Sam Moore, who returned home
Sunday from Florida. was at Kan
sas City and Topeka, and saw there
the effects of the late floods. In
the flooded districts at Topeka the
spectacle presented was mournfu1.
Debris, mud, outhouses, dwelling
houses. and the various contrivan
ces of civilization were piled to-
gether here and there in incongru-
Gus mass. Sometimes two or three
houses were piled bottom up, on
their sides promiscuous1y in an Or
chard. In other places half a doz-
en- houses, or as many barns were
jammed together in pile, where
they had drifted on the swollen
waters.
AT Kansas City during the flood,
the water was seven feet deep in
Union depot. In warehouses in
the vicinity there were vast stores
of new farm machinery, and all this
covered with mud and debris, was
being digged out when Mr., Moore
was there. The like, in the way
of destruction, Mr.. Moore had
never seen before.
In Colorado, he passed through
a thunderstorm that was terrible
in its demonstrations; in Wyoming,
the passengers on the train were
nearly eaten up by Buffalo gnats;
in ST. Louis, the heat was swelter-
ing: in Florida, Mr.. Moore was at
tackled on arrival with fever, and
he had to hurry out of the country
to save his life; in Chicago, he ar
rived on the heels of a storm that
did a million dollars worth of
damage; and the net result of this
all was Mr.. Moore got back into
Oregon as fast as steam could car
ry him, and came to stay.
All over the East, he says. peo-
pie are talking of Oregon, and are
anxious to sell out and come to the
state.
