There is justice for you with ft vengeance; and if such justice as that confines a few years longer, the tax payers .f the country, without regard to poli tics, will rise in their might and abolish the whole peusiou system. Then the crippled and needy veter ans whom the law was enacted to assist will suffer. I would be glad to see some of the prominent republican journals cham pion the reform mentioned, for iu their inmost hearts they must know that such reforms are not only right but sadly needed, and they must know that there are a great number of lifedong republicans who do not believe in their hide bound protec tion policy and lavish pension sys tem; they also must know that it is hard on us old fellows who have voted with them from the time of the great Lincoln to the present Harrison to have to lock to a parti sanjdemocratic paper for encourage ment and help to reform two of the greatest evils this country has ever been confronted with, that high taxes and lavish expenditures.

The storm, which began last night appeal s t have swept a vast circle t circle ! of northwestern Iowa fully P0 miles iu diameter, with Chetokte as its' center. Up to iO:oO p. m. to-night, owing to the destruction of wires and railroads, only the vaguest re ports have reached here from the devastated territory to the west, ! north and south. The daning here, ! taking into account the relatively '; small size of the tcwu, is enormous. ; Most of the destruction in Chero-j kee was wrought by the extranrdi narv rise in the Sioux, resulting from i the tremendous downpour of rain. ; Some idea of the immensity and sud- j dnness of the flood can be inferred j from the fact that it carried off, ap parently without an effort, the big truss bridge on whioh the Illinois : . . . , . , ibeen spent in the quest.

AT LEAST EIGHT LIVES LOST. It may be a week or more before the full extent of the disaster is known. At least four persons were drown ed here and four at Correctionville. The railroad depot at Calumet was blown down and much damage to tewn property is reported. Sutherland, O'Brien county, a small station on the Chicago and Northwestern railroad, fiftv miles from Calumet, is reported to have been winett t ut. over fort v buildings be-in blown down. The wires are all blown down and it is impos: to obtain accurate information !)ie ex- cep-t through the repoits tranmit , ted to the railroad official..

The "lost vein ' has been found. It con sists of a (' inch streak of aluiust sol id silver glance and brittle- silver, es timated to run from $15,000 to 2.V 000 in value per ton. It was found by Albright and Winslow Carlisle, and is undoubtedly is the famous 'lost vein." The crevice is 4 feet wide, with good strong walls, and the ore from the vein is so rich that it can be cut with a knife like cheese. For twenty years Albright and hundreds of other prospectors have honeycombed the mountains for the vein, and thousands of dollars have the side of the mountain was lower j ed with a dirt slide for forty feet it was impossible to locate the vein. Two years ago a cross cut channel was run within eight feet of the lead and abandoned. Albright, who has made this hunt a life work.start ed from this tunnel and after drift ing eight feet struck the bonanza. As it is the only silver glance mine in the district there is no question that it is "the lost vein." Congrat ulations are being showered upon the luckv men from all sides. A iirl"s Frightful Death. Pierce City, Mo., June 24 A daughter, aged 14 years, of Terry Campbell, who lives a mile north of Kite-key, was seen last night leaving town a few yards behind au old man named Fleck, a shot maker iu Pitch er. Two young men named Hardy and Armstrong saw the girl and the man about a mile from town. This was the last time the girl was seen alive. Searching parties secured the neighborhood from Saturday even in j; until Sunday evening, when the mutilate 1 body was found a few feet i from the read by these same young 1 men and near the place they had ; seen her the day before. Her hea l was crushed, her throat was cut from ear to ear and theie were several gashes on the breast and abdomen. There were evidences ' a hard stru-rgle fr the roa 1 to itui..oi sav s iinr .i'i was au im portant witness in a murder case now pending in Newton county, and the ; interested parties are suspected of j knowing something of the murder. s niisie if nuuitVj R.
