MORNING STORM
WILD DASH OF RAIN AND HAIL
ONLY SLIGHT DAMAGE
REPORTED.

About 6 o'clock this morning a
dashing rain and hail storm struck
the city, coming from the west. The
storm lasted only about fifteen min
utes, but during that time it was a
veritable cloudburst. Streets, lawns
and gardens had the appearance of a
lake, and street cutters were taxed to
their capacity in carrying the water
away. A high wind accompanied the
hail which was about the size of small
peas, and the pelting windows on the
west side of buildings received was
calculated to make sleepy people
think the Germans had arrived to
place a fleet of submarines in Lake
Madison and had opened fire on the
city with their machine guns. After
the storm lawns, sidewalks and
streets in the residence sections were
strewn with green leaves and twigs
whipped from the trees. Gardens
were severely pelted and many citi-
ems bewail the fate of their tomato
and other tender plants. This seemed
to be the extent of damage to vege-
tation in the city, garden potatoes
and corn being uninjured.
Trainmen report the storm wide
spread, extending from Washington
Springs to Jackson, Mimi, and from
Bristol far south of Madison. Con-
ductor Birran reports a heavy rain
with high wind all along the line
from Washington Springs. but no hail
was apparent, the hail evidently
striking in spots-and Madison was
one of the spots. Field crops along
the west line, Conductor Birran states
never looked better. and the rain
seemed to be refreshing to the small
grain crops. Corn, however. is not
looking as well, the unreasonable cool
weather and a lack of sunshine hav-
ing a tendency to discolor it from the
rich green which should prevail at
this season of the year. Conductor
Hooval of the north train reports a
heavy rain and high wind all along
the line south from Bristol this morn
ing, and rain yesterday afternoon as
the train proceeded north from Bry-
ant. The storm was free of hail and
no apparent damage occurred. Small
grain fields along the north line are
in prime condition.
During the storm in the city this
morning there were several heavy
peals of thunder which were startling
but no damage in the city is reported
from this source. The barn on the
T. A. Johnson farm n mile west of
Winfred, however, was struck by
lightning which developed a fire and
the building was entirely consumed,
with hay, feed and other articles, the
on the farm succeeding in re-
moving the horses.
Today has been warm and sultry,
partly cloudy and threatening.

TRAVEL To CALIFORNIA
THROUGH A MAZE OF SCENIC
WONDERS.

The enjoyment of sightseeing is
the main reason why you are going
west this year-therefore, you will
want to select a route that will pro-
vide the utmost in scenery and serv-
ice.
The cool northern route of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway
to the Pacific North Coast is pre-emi-
nently the route of thrilling mountain
views. 1t penetrates the heart of
three great ranges-the Rockies, Bit
ter Roots and Cascades-with every
mile of the journey disclosing some
new vista of loveliness-all close at
hand, to be enjoyed from the all-steel,
across-continent trains, The Olympian
and The Columbian.
Side trip to the wonderland of
Yellowstone can be made from Butte
and TO Rainier National Park from
Tacoma. If desired, you can leave
the train at ST. Maries, Idaho, and
without extra cost take the "Trip of
Shadows" a forty-mile boat trip
down the picturesque ''Shadowy' st.
Joe river to Spokane, where the jour
ney over the Milwaukee is resumed.
This is an exclusive feature of this
route.
From Seattle and Tacoma you
journey south over the Rainier
Shasta route to California, thence re-
turn home direct from either Los
Angeles or San Francisco on the steel
equipped Pacific Limited over the
Central route to the Milwaukee.
In this year of low fares you can
see a vast extent of the wonderful
west at moderate cost. Investigate
now. Send or call for western travel
literature and full information. Ad-
dress local agent of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul railway.

CORN Is SUFFERING
Unreasonable Weather Affects It
Other Crops Are Doing Well.

Huron, June 12.-The weekly crop
and weather report for the state. is
sued by the local office of the United
States weather bureau, says:
Cloudy weather, with showers,
some of which were heavy, prevailed
during the week. The early part of
the week was moderately warm, but
the latter was cool. The amount of
sunshine was much less than normal.
Farm work was greatly in~terefered
with by the rain and wet ground, but
the soil was generally in good con-
dition for crop growth. Alfalfa,
small grain, meadows and pasture
made growth during the week, and
some correspondents state that these
crops are in the most favorable con-
dition for years. The weather is un-
favorable for corn, however, which is
not doing well. 1t is badly colored in
some localities, and in other localities
is growing only in spots. Much corn
will have to be feplanted because of
the rotting of seed in the ground.
Stock is generally reported to be do
ing we'll, with plenty of feed on pas
lures and ranges"

Clara j. Wolff and Mr.. Anthony J..
DeGonda were united in marriage.
Mankato, Mimi, dispatch: The
city council yesterday awarded the
contract for fifteen blocks of paving
to the Widell company, the lowest
bidder, for $51,7S6. Nine blocks are
to be of creosoted wooden blocks
over a base of concrete, and the re-
mainder viii be of reinforced con-
crete. Two storm sewers are also to
be built. The award of the paving
contract had been held up until it was
seen whether the county was going
dry or not, for if dry the county
would have had $4,000 less in the
treasury. The council also expects to
arrange for building a bridge across
the Minnesota river. This was also
held up until it was known how Mon
days county option election went.

HELD AS SPY
Son of Yankton College Professor
Taken Prisoner While i'm Red
Cross Work.

Yankton, June 12.-After a long
period of anxiety President Warren
of Yankton college. has received
word that his son, Robert, again is
safe in England.
When the war broke out Robert
Warren was attending school at Ok
ford, having o a Rhodes scholar
ship. He volunteered for Red Cross
work, under the American branch,
and fell into the hands of the Ger
mans. They charged him with being
a spy and held him in solitary con-
finement for some time.
Finally the young man was located,
through the efforts of American con
sular agents, and his release was Sc
cured. 1t is probable that he will re-
turn to America in a short time, ell
tirely content with his brief war ex-
~perience.

FILES BRIEF
Thorne Argues Western Roads Failed
TO Show Need of Increased Rates.

Washington, June 12.-Briefs OPP
posing increased freight rates on
grain and grain products asked by
the western railroads were filed with
the interstate commerce commission
today by Clifford Thorne and the
committee of state railroad and pub
lie utilities commissions representing
Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, South
Dakota, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Iowa,
Arizona. Arkansas. Colorado, Idaho.
Montana. Nevada, New Mexico and
Utah.
The argument denies fatty that
railroad have declined to a
point where they can no longer make
a profit on their investment, and de
clares that IF allowance is made for
improper charges against operating
expenses, the net operating revenues
would be greatly increased"
The railroads. it is argued, are not
entitled to make earnings upon in
vestments which they have made
largely in excess of the requirements
of traffic"
Taking the western railroads as a
whole the arguments holds they have
not been losing revenue.
Increase in rates should not be
granted" continues the brief. Ito all
carriers involved, for the benefit of
the weaker roads when it is not need

The roads have failed 10 show that
the proposed rates are just and rea-
sonable. the brief argues. and the
grain business of the roads shows a
profit much in excess of the business
