SERMON TO TIE FRESNiANS
Mr.. Taft Talks On the Subject Of Self
Restraint.

Fresno. Calf. oct 10.-F'rom the
snow-c8pped Sierras of yesterday. Mr.
Taft plunged today into the summer
heat of the San Joaquin valley and ar
rived shortly after O'Clock this after
noon with the thermometer lowering
about the nineties. He was greeted By
nearly the entire population of the
city and surrounding country. After
short automobile trip he addressed
a gathering of many thousands at the
court house square.
The presidents speech was in reality
another Sunday sermon. the third he
has preached since his trip began. The
text, he quoted from memory. was
He that econquereth himself is
greater than he that taketh city"
From it the president drew the lesson
that popular government must always
be a failure unless based on sound
common sense. and that self-restraint
goes to make good loser. He drew
comparison between the American
people and those less restrained in
whose attempts at self-government
election is followed by revolution.
The president said in part: Il like
to dwell upon the Importance of little
things in life, for life is not made up
of one great series of grand stand
plays. II is made up of little things
that go either to make others happy
or unhappy. 1t is the conduct Of the
husband as he comes home after a
tired day in restraining himself when
met by an eager. curious wife who
wants to know how he has been living
during the day and what has happen
ed. Perhaps something happened that
does not please him and he does not
like to refer to it, and he cuts her off
with a snort answer.
'Oh, know it. So do you. You
have done it, So have l. Now. it is
the overcoming of that disposition,
keeping constantly in mind, her heart.
her happiness, not your own comfort.
not your disposition. That is what
makes you greater than taking city.

HAIL DAMAGED CROPS.

Friday, July 23rd, at about three
o'clock in the afternoon this section
of the state was visited by a hail
storm, which, in points Of area cover
ed, was one of the worst ever ex-
perienced in the state.
The storm is said to have first
struck in Sphinx county, taking a
southerly course down into Beadle
county, destroying all crops around
Hitchcock. The storm continued on
to the south and east. At Huron
damage by wind exceeded that by
hail. Some of the buildings on the
state fair grounds were partly wreck
ed and around the town the damage
to small buildings and trees vas
considerable.
1t was about on this line east and
west hat the storm seemed to divide,
or another storm originate. Esmond
and Carthage were in line. and much
damage to crops occurred in the
vicinity of those towns. This same
storm boie off toward Mitchell.
Southwest of De Smet a short
distance a branch of the original
storm, or another storm, struck first
at the w. H. Henney farm, damaging
the crops on the south quarter. This
storm travelled to the south and east
until it stuck the county line when it
seemed to bear off a little more to the
east. At places a great deal more
damage was done han at others.
Some claimed as low as only 10 per
per cent damage to standing grain,
and from that it ran to a total loss,
the general average being not over
half a loss. 1t was fortunate that the
harvest was earlier than usual. Near
ly every farmer suffering a loss to
standing grain had his oats aud barley,
or most of them in the shock.
Below we print an incomplete list
of those living within The territory
tributary to this city who suffered
losses, most of whom were insured:

A heavy shower of rain on Monday
night made the potato crop practical

to a good crop of tubers of good quail
ity Corn is fully up to the aver
age where not injured by recent hail.
The hail storm of Friday last did
very little damage in this immediate
vicinity. Two or three miles west
and the same distance south the in
jury was much greater. In many
cases the loss was total, in others
only partial. We did not get a com
plete list of those sustaining total
loss but as we are informed among
them are A. G.. Martin, Gerhardt Alb.
rahamson, Martin Abrahamson and
Mr.. Michels, father of Mrs. G. b.
Lies. Mr., Lies is among those who
sustained partial injury. The great
extent of the storm area and the Sc
verify of damage will doubtless tax
the companies carrying hail insurance
quite heavily.

He HAD FORGOTTEN
BRIDE OF BOYHOOD
Separation Given in German
Town Is Ratified by Local
Court Decree.

After leaving his wife in Germany three
years after they were married, coming
10 the United States and for twenty years
working without word from his boyhood
bride. Christian Leslie did not know the
frau when she was introduced to him
i'm Milwaukee in 1901. Leslie made TINS
admission on the stand in Judge c. w.
Morse's division of the district court yes
terday when he and six other divorce
applicants were granted DEGREES.
The Leslie case was one of the quaint
est that has ever been known in the dis
trict court here. Leslie was married i'm
a little town in Germany in 1873. Ii took
three years for him to find that Theresa
was not quite what he wanted. and she
held the same view about Christian. So
the two. as shown in a paper of Septem-
Der %. 1881, appeared before BurgOmaster
Herring in the town and explained their
troubles This was shown to Judge
Morse in a German paper OF that date
and was translated.
According to the papers account, which
was signed 10y the burgOmaster Of the
town. the wife said Christian could 'gO
at once anywhere he liked and keep on
going" which shows that she was not
very keen about his future.
Christian came TO the United States
and landed i'm Milwaukee, where he
worked for d number of years without
hearing Of his wife. After a good many
years had elapsed the wife, too, came to
the new country and landed with the
German colony in the brewery town.
