WARM DESPITE TEMPERATURE.
Humidity Due to Seeming Record
Breaker for Heat,

Monday felt like the hottest day of
the season but with all the burn of the
sun the mercury did not get higher
than on Sunday, the maximum and
minimum for both days being the
same, 90 and 60.
The humidity in the atmosphere was
probably responsible for the seemingly
record breaking heat. A storm was ap-
parently hanging about ready to break
and filling the air with a depressing
dampness. In the evening it rained a
few drops. shortly before Z o'clock, and
clouds which gathered in the north and
northwest apparently indicated that a
fine old fashioned rainstorm would let
loose. But even after this was fol-
lowed up by one of the finest exhibit
lions of lightning that has been seen
in these parts for many weeks, and
the cloudiness spread to all parts of the
sky and even obscured the new moon.
It began to get cooler early this
morning. however, and shortly after Z
o'clock began to shower and bring re-
lief from the humidity. This vindicated
the predictions of the weather observ-
err, altho many people cannot UNDER
stand why the official thermometer did
not drop lower yesterday than at any
day yet. Popularity speaking the day
was far the hottest of the season, de-
spite the official figures.

MOORE NAMED AS RECEIVER.
Man Will Take Charge
of EurIand Farm.

Judge Parker this morning appointed
A. A. Moore as receiver of the Furland
Bros farm, six miles north Of Mar
shalltown. The receivership proceed
ings were brought by one Of the
brothers, Eli, living in Chicago, his
two brothers, John e. and Theodore.
who live on the farm and conduct it,
being named as defendants. During the
hearing 1t developed that while John
was named as defendant in the case
he was perfectly willing to have re-
ceiver appointed and thus while named
as one OF the defendants in the case
he was to all intents and purposes al
most as much "of a petitioner as the
brother who instituted the case.
The farm which is involved in the
proceedingd is a large, and valuable
one, and is worth about $4,000. The
receivership case was a comparatively
amicable; proceeding, as the majority
interest in the property was apparent
ly perfectly willing to have the hold
ings disposed of, but there was some
difference Of opinion as to, whether 1t
ought to be marketed now or later on.

STEINER ON UNIQUE TRIP.
Is in charue Of Young Men Who Viii
Study Foreigners Language.

A unique trip, fostered by the Penn
sylvania state committee Of the Y. M.
c. A., and led by an Iowa man, Pro-
fessor Edward A. Steiner, of Iowa coll
lege, Grinnell, Is to be made thruout
European provinces for the purpose of
studying conditions and the languages
of people who are likely to become i'm
migrants to this country. The object
OF the study is to put the young men
in line to better work with the foreign
ers in the United States.
The six young men chosen for the
"trip, all college bred, and two from
Iowa college, Grinnell. are known as
expedition for the preparation of i'm
migrant leaders. DR.. Steiner, being
abroad. was engaged by the Pennsyl-
vania state committee to take charge
of the party Immediately upon it's ar
rival in Europe. BY becoming CONVEX
SAINT with the language, customs, an1
home life Of the natives, these young
men will return to this country and
take up Christian work among the
very people whom they have visited.
Pennsylvania was chosen as a good
field for this work for the reason that
a big percentage of foreign immigra-
ton settles in that state.
The two young men from Iowa col
lege who are members of the party Of
six are Britton L. Dawson, '0S, and his
cassmate. C. D. Blachly. Dawson was
president of the students aasociaticn
during his last year In college. and was
prominent factor in college athlet-
les. Blachly Is a Colorado mountaineer.
man of rare spirit, and a thoughtful
student Upon being met on the other
side by DR.. Steiner the latter will take
charge OF the party and conduct the
young men on a bicycle tour thru Be-
liemia. Poland. Hungary. southern
Russia, Bulgaria, Rumania. Servia and
Italy. On this trip they will combine
the study of the language with the
study u the people themselves. 1t is
expected that each man will secure
working vocabulary in at least two
languages and the related dialects.

surances that he would accept. Later,
it was reported, he Unexpectedly de-
clined the call for the reason that his
t1ance preferred to live quietly at La
Crosse rather than mingle with the gay
throng at the seaside city.
Rev. Mr.. Hoag arrived in Lansing
early this morning on his return from
the east. He asserts that he is vic
tim Of much unsought cupidity and Of
unusual circumstances.
." I have been pastor of the First
Baptist church at Lacrosse for the
last four years. said he. About four
weeks ago l took a vacation, going to
New Jersey and preaching in several
large churches in Newark and Tren-
ton and Atlantic City. One church did
extend me call and it was declined
with thanks
asked regarding the young lady at
Lacrosse who Is said to have influ-
enced his action in declining the call,
Rev. Mr.. Hoag blushed and said that
the subject was a personal one which
he could not discuss. The young cler-
gylnans father was greatly amused at
his sons embarra ssment over his love
affairs, which have been kept close
secret from the church at Lacrosse,
to which Rev. Mr. Hoag returned.
1T is reported that delegation of
Women from Atlantic City is OH the
way to Lacrosse with an offer to set
the young couple up in housekeeping if
they will reconsider their refusal to
accept the call and will reside i'll At

Mr.. Hoag and Rev. James MCGEE,
Of this city, are warm personal friends
and were classmates in the University
of Chicago.

the northern part of the state. dipped
down into the northern edge of the
neighborhood of Liscomb. Considerable
corn was blown down, oats in the
shock were scattered about the fields
the cap sheaves blown about, and hay
stacks overturned.
The storm was the most severe be-
tween $50 and 6 o'clock. The lightning
was sharp, and passengers on the Iowa
Centrals northbound train out Of this
city at $50 were treated to the sight
of a bolt entering the earth ahead of
them, no farther than a mile distant. A
few moments later, when the train
passed the spot a burning oats stack
told the tale of the lightning.
The stick that was struck was in the
field of Mrs. Cora Bixby. Those in the
neighborhood were attracted to the
scene, and by further scattering the
sneaves and beating them the flames
were overcome before much serious
damage was done. Several haystacks
in different fields were blown over.
1t is not believed that the corn will
be greatly damaged. While some of it
appears to be lying pretty fiat, it is
thought that most of it will straighten
up without the growth being seriously
retarded
For a time Monday evening, when
the clouds looked extremely ominous,
there was much fear expressed that the
territory was doomed for an exper-
fence with tornado. Those who had
storm cellars or caves sought them,
and others took refuge in low build
ings. Telephone communication with
Marshalltown was cut off by the storm,
as was also the case with both Union
and Conrad.
Some Corn is Damaged.
With the resumption of telephone
operation this afternoon in part OF
the storm district, it is stated that
some OF the corn will be badly dam
aged. II not ruined. At point about
ten miles north of this city, just about
on the line between Vienna and Lis.
comb townships. the worst of the
storm appears to have spent it's force.
In that neighborhood hail accompan-
led the wind, and the corn in some
places was reduced to shreds. 1t was
also blown fiat. and this. together with
the damage by hail, will doubtless re-
suit in some very poor corn in that
immediate section.
Windmill Blown on House.
On the Henry Taps farm, ten miles
north, which is on the Vienna-Llscomb
township line, the wind took on the
proportions Of a small tornado. The
barn was wrenched so that it leans at
least eighteen inches, and the wind
mill was blown over, striking and
slightly damaging the house. The
Tapps farm is tenanted, by Frank AL
len. No one was hurt.

COUNTY TO STAND SUIT.
Doctor Will Sue on Bill for Caring 70
Smallpox Patients.

1t is very likely that the county will
be made defendant in suit to be
brought by DR.. II. III. Nichols on bill
for caring for smallpox patients last
winter The board of supervisors cut
the bill materially when 1t was filed,
and the doctor refused to accept it.
Payment was again refused by the SUI
rervisors Monday on the original
amount, and the supervisors expect
that suit will be commenced. The bill
w4s for visits to the Fl. II. ShumWay

members of the family were sick with
the smallpox Ten dollars a visit was
charged; the total Of the bill being APP
proximately s100. The board reduced
the charge per visit fron1 $40 to 81.
AS matter Of fact the board is rather
inviting suit. Members Of 1t think that
it is high, but they wish ito have the
