Capt. Dickey, living south-west of here, lost nearly his entire crop by the late hail storm. Johnson Hill was in the city, Sat- urday, and reported considerable damage to crops west ot here by _ wind and hail. Ten miles north of Butler there was not heavy enough rain to lay the dust last week, while here and south it almost amounted to a flood. L. A.

Crittenden recently an- nounced toa St. Louis Repudlican reporter that he intends to enforce the Sunday law and see that all sa- loons are closed on that day. Sen- ator Vest says that the governor has nothing to do in the matter until formed that the local authorities unable enforce the law. * Gov. Butler exhibited several specimens of tanned pauper hides which had been procured from dif- terent tanneries, when he made closing speech of the Tewksbury mvestigation. It seems to have been quite common to skin dead paupers and have the hides tanned. The leather was made into fine shoes and sold to Massachusetts aristocrats.

While here they formed a syndicate and visited the fast becoming famous Walnut City. After viewing the situation and becoming fully sat- isfied that Walnut was soon to be- come a flourishing city, they made a large purchase of town lots. Col. Levy and I. O.

The hail-storm in Lone Oak town- ship was very severe, its direction being nearly to the east. J. C. Bridgman informs us that the strip deyastated is a mile wide and ex tends as far to the east as he could hearfrom. Oats are beaten down and thrashed out so badly as to prove a total loss. Some fields of corn are ruined while others will make a partial crop. Mr. Bridgman was in the hail storm north ot this placeon the rith of July last year, and this year again lost his crop on the 12th. Vegetables are not badly damaged. He paid over $200 cash rent in advance and | the recent loss fallson him heavily.

Con- | sequently when the agent called to pay the license, nothing was found in the index except the order for $25, Indeed the failure to index, we are informed, mvalidates the order. Afterwards it was discovered that a subsequent order raised the amount to $100 but it was done be- fore the Republican knew anything about it and no effort was made to concealit. The failure to index was an oversight but just suclra one as is liable to occur. The present coun- ty officers are not chargeable with it. No set of officers are absolutely per- fect. That is something not attain- able. But we do claim that Bates county’s officiais are as tree from er- ror as any county can boastof. Ev- ery man makes mistakes in his own attairs and it is unreasonable to ex- pect that all the minutiae of county business can be carried on with ab- solute pertection. No matter wheth- er Republicans or Democrats hold public positions, mistakes will oc- cur. The fact that our neighbor 1s compelled to fall back on charges as like the one mentioned, shows that there is nothing of sufficient magni- tude to justify public censure. If there were any flagrant violations ot trust, everybody knows that weighty charges would be advanced instead of frivolous ones. Instead ot being a cause for censure, it reaily a compliment to our officers that noth- ing except such yery frivolus charges can be trumped up after months of careful search and diligent inquiry. Noboby wants a corrupt officer screened from punishment but the final outcome of all the threats and promises that a terrible amount corruption was about to be brought to light in the court house, is compli- heads is of mentary to those upon whose the vials of wrath were to be poured. ‘Lhe eftort has utterly failed to de- velop what was promised and the inevitable conclusion 1s that county affairs are honestly and economical- ly managed. The people were look- ing for important developments but they turn away in disgust when they see that it’s only a little bluster. H. M. Gaily, near Mulberry, was thrown from his wagon on Friday last, reciving serious injures. His jaw was broken, knee-cap split and the pelvis badly injured. An infant child of Mrs. Ayleshire died on Monday night. _[t was not quite six months old. This lady, so lately bereft of her husband, 1s deserv- ing of sympathy from the entire community.

It was of great extent, fear- | fully destructive, and has not had its * | equal during the season. In ad- dition to the stormof Friday, accounts tollow of the deluge that visited some sections of the country on the 13th St. Louis, July 14.—The restora- tion of telegraphic communication, which was badly broken up night, reveals the tact that the storm, part of which swept over this city, last | | was general in character and travers- ed not only a large part of Missoun, but covered various sections in Kan- sas, Iowa and Illinois. ‘The veloci- ty of the wind in this city was_ fifty miles per hour, and came apparently | from nearly all directions, but main- iy from the west and northwest. No serious individual losses were sus- tained, but a great number of mimor ones are disclosed y of damages to crops, gable ends of houses, chimneys, shutters, signs, ' fences, trees, shrubbery, etc., the | whole of which will aggregate many thousand dollars. Some slight juries to persons are reported but no- body seriously hurt. St. Louis also suffered in a similar manner and a train of twenty-five cars on the be't railroad on the river front was blown from the track most of them badly wrecked. Bellville, Ul., was badly shaken | up; a number ot houses more or less injured; none seriously. At Alton, Ill., three churches Jost part of their roofs and walls, and the Laclede hotel was dismantled. Oth- er buildings were slightly injured and | streets were littered with fallen trees. | At Sumner, Ill., a large flouring wa in the in- and mill was unrooted and heavy dam- age caused to the machinery and stock from the deluge of rain, which rushed through the building trom top to bottom. Several other build- | ings were more or jess injured. | A dispatch from Keokuk, Iowa, says the storm raged fearfully through the country southwest of there. A train which lett on the Burlington, Chicago and Kansas City road at 7:15 a. m. was blown from the track a mile and a half south of Browning, Mo., and a baggage car coach were turned completely over. Conductor Watson was badly hurt, the baggageman was slightly wound- ed and six passengers injured. The latter were taken to Linneus. Mv., and cared for. In the vicinity of Linneus the storm did great damage to crops, buildings and farm property generally. At Jefferson City, Mo., the main cell building of the penitentirry was unroofed and one or two other build- ings damaged. A dispatch from Maryville, Mo., says twenty business houses were unrooted and a number of small houses and shops wrecked. Burlington Junction is reported to be almost completely wrecked.

The first building struck was Thompson’s hotel, which was completely demolished, the in- mates taking refuge in a large cave.
