Des Moines, April 90. One Of the se-s
|verest Of early spring storms this state
has ever seen is bearing down from
the north and is due to reach its worst

followed shortly after dinner by a cold
rain; later the rain ceased with the
temperature much lower.
Much damage to fruit trees that are
in blossom is likely to result, and pres
cautionary measures should be taken
to protect the trees.
Sioux City, April 80. With tem-
perature of 81 degrees above zero rain
and sleet have been falling all night.
Much damage will be done to fruit
trees in this vicinity. The ice has

The colonel rubbed his grlzzled mus

"Dungeons?"
'Not many dungeons. There are
dungeons under this very palace, but
they are obsolete. do not think they
have been used in years."
''Then they could be inspected"
Il see no reason why they should not.
But that would be for the governor to
say. Shall ask himY
''No; since they are under his palace
l shall have an opportunity later. I
suppose they are entered by way of a
secret door,"
''There was door at the end of the
police Offices" replied the colonel. "Of
course, being a soldier, know scarcely
anything about them. They are wholly
in charge Of the police"
"But you formerly had no police in
Siberia save the Cossack guards"
''True, but was not at Tomsk then.

Olga spoke then to the colonel's wife,
and the subject of the dungeons did
not recur.
Neslerov came and presented young
officer, member of noble family, and
he asked Olga for waltz. She thank
ed the colonel, and they did not meet
again. The dancing continued till a
very late hour. after which there was
a supper served with the true Russian
prodigality. Olga was becoming weary,
but she maintained her usual spirits.
She CHANGED to pass near the governor
and heard young officer speaking.
Lieutenant Dermsky is not present.
Whom will you name as the lieutenant
of the palace guard"
None will be necessary" answered
Neslerov. "Itzig will be at his post.
As it is nearly morning, no more will
be necessary. Dismiss the guard. take
them to the banquet hall and give them
supper"
Soon after that Olga found occasion

SAT that time Prince Nicholas, now
governor of Tomsk, was fifteen years
of age, and was the favorite of his
father. 1t was com monty reported that
the duke preferred to see his younger
son inherit the title and estate rather
than have it go to the son of the prin

ago, the young prince, then about three
years old or perhaps less, was drowned
in the Kama. At least that is what
was said. The boy wandered away
from his nurse and walked to the
river. Some of his garments were
found on the river bank, and it would
seem as though the little fellow had
intended to follow the example Of the
boys of the serfs he had seen and was
going to take river bath. However,
the body was never found and the
