PLAINS.

Special to Times-Republican
Fort Dodge, July 15.-An almost
complete devastation of the crops
was the result Of the hail, rain and
wind storm in strip of country ten
miles long and two miles north OF
Border Plains. Reports have been
coming all day of the destruction OF
the corn and oats and the loss of
buildings. Insurance adjusters have
been called to- adjust many losses.
Very few If any of the crops were
covered by insurance but the majority
of the buildings were.
The storm came up suddenly little
after 6 o'clock. No damage was done
in Fort Dodge, but the communities of
Duncombe, Vincent and Judd were
the sufferers.
William Courtney living near Vim
cent was one of the heaviest losers.
One hundred and sixty acres Of corn
and oats were leveled to the ground.
Several barn buildings and chicken
houses were blown over. Six horses
were killed by lightning on the farm
of William and Mary Burke, north
west of Fort Dodge. On the farm Of
Frank Clarken 100 acres of corn and
oats were torn to pieces. Near Dun
combe the storm was particularly in
tense. Large \trees that have been
landmarks for Years were blown down
as if they had been mere branches.
The fruit ~on-trees was blown to the
ground and there is fear the oats were
so badly grounded that they will be
difficult to harvest. William Han
rahan a farmer near Duncombe, de-
clared that his corn was stripped of
leaves and new forming tassels. The
wind moved the roof Of his big barn
off its base and many windmille and
silos were overturned.

SURPRISING THE TRUTH
Montana Saloon interests Charged
With Doing 1t

In a news letter the Montana Anti
Saloon League Press Bureau says:
News is being suppressed by whole
sale in this state, and ii Is being done
by the money Of the saloon interests.
The anti-saloon people want the pub
lie informed as to what is going on,
and we are not SO selfish as to insist
that only one kind of news be pub.

1--WE are willing that both sides of
this question should be given pub
licity, but the saloon people insist
that nothing shall get into print that
is not favorable to them. Our view
is different We do not ask the sup
preston of things that do not sup
port our contentious.
'"If Bill Jones, somewhere In the
state, leans up against a soda foun-
tain and soaks- himself full of lemon
pop and then goes out In frenzy and
shoots up the town, We won't insist
that the soda pop business shall be
protected by suppressing this news.

and buys beefsteak after beefsteak,
and than goes home at daylight as a

a clothing store Saturday night TO
buy a collar and finds the gang there,
and buys them socks and shirts and

and he winds up in Jail, We won't in
sist on the papers protecting the fair
name of the clothing merchant. And
wherever increased happiness and
prosperity and respect for law have
followed the opening of new saloons,
we'll regard the news as of such in

published.

"SHELLAC YOUR KIDNEYS"
Or. Bowers Tells the Beer Drinkers
Some Facts.

A distinguished physician, DR.. Ed
win f. Bowers, recently wrote about
beer as follows:
I'VE used to think that we got all
the rosin' with which we vanished
our kidney cells from the pitch lining
Of the beer barrels. But now we know
that we get our kidney shellac from
the hops In the beer. In addition to
their deleterious effect upon the kid
neys, these secretions act powerfully
and disastrously upon the nervous
system.
Now, the hop belongs to the hemp
group, and Is closely related to In
dian hemp. On the female blossoms
of Indian hemp, as on the female BIOS
SONS of hops, we find glands holding
narcotic. sticky, bitter-tasting
substance, which is the active element
Of hashish
"Hashish is used largely by the
various Mohammedan peoples of West
and South Africa and in the Malay
Archipelago for narcotic purposes in
the intermediary stage-before COM
plete. stupefaction sets in-these hemp
habitues become dangerously violent,
even to running amuck with huge
crooked-bladded dagger, stabbing and
slashing, until they are mercifully
killed in their tracks,"

The Mask and Wig Club of the Uni

evening at the Belasco Theater in q
musical buriesque bearing the original
title OF whoa Phoebe" the production
representing the twenty-eighth theatri-
cal performance in which the Mask and
Wiggers" have done themselves proud.
This latest hodge-podge OF jest, music,
and tsrpsichorean art written by COM
nittee Of the club members is aptly de-
scrtoed in the program as "a mule-ical
burlesque in two kicks" the first kick
introducing the audience to an educated
mule so pampered by a nobody home"
professor that life at CHEEKY Farm has
become a daily routine of attendance to
the higher education Of Phoebe and the
cultivation Of what professor Balaam is
deluded into believing her spiritual quali-
ties until the main factors in an timer
ant circus abduct the humanized animal
leaving Balaam and his friends IN rrsnsied
distress.
The second act Cor 'kick'O involves the
search for Phoebe with the denouement OF
the romance between Ann Balaam and
Wiling Hacker, interspliced with innum-
cradle song and dance specialties and
effective ensembles.

GayetN=Burlesque.

Billy Watson and his aggregation OF
big girls, labeled the Original and only

pearance this season at the Gayety dur
ing the present week. Billy Watson has
the unique idea of collecting only heavy
weights and although it is not denied
that quite a difference of opinion exists
as to the merit of all OF a kind. Watson S
company is good enough to permit a re-
turn engagement
The first part Of the show, "Krouse-
meyers Alley" has been seen many times,
but there is nothing more amusing than
Krousemyer CBilly Watson) hanging out
the window on one side Of the alley. and
Grogan Frank Bambard) in his window
opposite, discussing their differences and
throwing bricks and anything else that
Is handy. Hinkey William Swami Is the
policeman Of the alley and gets the worst
Of it in his endeavor to ascertain the
cause of the neighborhood row and inter-
cepts several brickbats and dead cats.
The second part of the show is the
same old The Lucky Girl in which
the chorus change costumes several times
and sing and dance with a good deal of
pep, considering the fact that their aver
age weight Is some 200 pounds. Both bur-
lettas are stin interesting and amusing.
