Heretofore this county has sent all its insane to Mount Pleasant. of Control has partially comp districting in anticipation of the opening of the new hospital at Cherokee. When this is opened all the counties of northwest- ern lowa will supply the Cherokes hospital and about 400 will be removed from the other hospitals.

Jacobl undertook, it is claime 10 be responsible for a fixed sum of money to apply on the church bullding. Of this sum, the plaintiff in the suit alleged, Ja cobl’ fatled to pay 31,500, and the sult’ wa brought by the chirch to recover this amount from their former pastor. The church sought to secure a lien on the prop- erty which the minister had occupled as his home during his residence in Webster City. He is now located in Missourl. Judge Kenyon decided the case In favor of the defendant. Nearly every bone GRAND ISLAND HARD HIT Prey of Severe Hallstorm Which Damages Many Bulldings, Crops and Other Property. GRAND ISLAND, Neb., July 6.—(Special.) —The record of & year ago, as to Fourth of July storms, was repeated yesterday. The heaviest hall lasted scarcely more than a minute, but was thoroughly destructive to all unprotected window lights on the fprth sides of all bulldings. The damage done by the heavy rain to the oat fields by lodging, to the wheat in the shock and on the ground, and that by hall | to the crops can hardly be estimated. It was not general, though there are strips bere and there in which the corn s badly frazzled. The greatest immediate damage was done by the bail, which fell in rough, jagged pleces from four to seven inches around and came with a brisk wind from the northwest. Really, it wasn't hail. It was a shower of rough pleces of ice, about the size of hen's eggs. It cut off thousands of little branches of trees. It broke hundreds of window- panes. It sometimes cut through blinds and then stralght through the glass which the blinde were Intended to protect. The Anclent Order of United Workmen temple looked this morning as though it had been stormed by shot and shell. It faces the north and west. Only the large plate glass windows remain unbroken. Elghty large windowpanes in the Becurity Bank bullding are broken. The wind and rain beating through the broken windows in this structure did several hundred dol- lars of damage to the interlor. All the windows on the north eide of the third floor of the Independent bullding were smashed. Two plate glass windows at the Oceidental hotel were perforated. Brewster & Willlams, florists, report & dam by broken g of $500, Corbin's greenhouse $200 and Ellsworth's greenhouse $350. The Soldlers’ Home reports & loss of over $200, | the windows on the north being broken. The Grand Island college has & loss of nearly as_much. One hailstone broke through a thick pane of glass In the Grand Island Banking com- pany’s building and then cut a hole through | the inside shutters. The foundation of & new store bullding being put up by John Knickrehm fuined by the water. Two and & balf inches of rain is reported by the government observer, as also by the 'l. & has | Ever Pesp Into This Laundry ?

Reports from the country indi- cate that the fall of hail was not nearly so beavy as in the city, but it is feared that the farmers will be severely damaged by loss of crops, and the condition into which the thorough soaking will put the wheat.
