While here the gentle rain falls die
penBing heaven's blessings, back in
Kansas it came down Thursday in differ
ent shape. At Topeka one of the worst
hail storms on -record occurred, which
the dispatches describe as follows :
"The worst hail storm known in this
section of Kansas struck this city short
ly after G o'clock tonight. The shower
of hail was terrific. Hailstones weigh
ing twelve to sixteen ounces stripped the
trees of their foliage, smashed windows
on every hand, including the finest
plate-glass store fronts; cut down tele
graph and telephone wires, riddled awn
ings, injured many persons and inflicted
unprecedented damage throughout the
city. So great was the weight of the
falling hail that when it struck the as
phalt pavement many of the hailstones
rebounded to the height of twenty and
thirty feet. Dogs were struck in the
streets and instantly killed. Horses
were knocked to their knees, to rise
again and dash away in mad fright.
Many runaways occurred throughout
the city. When the fury of the storm
passed, those who ventured out saw
dead birds everywhere, and on every
hand was the scene of the wreckage of
the storm.
"The storm came from the southwest.
Dense, greenish clouds gave warning of
disaster, and as the day had been ex
tremely hot and close, many foresaw a
cyclone, and sought shelter in their cel
lars, The Btorm came on with a heavy
wind and terrific lightning, and then
came rain, together with a deafening
craeh of hail that was paralyzing to the
senses. So great was the damage to
telegraph wires that the city was cut off
from the outside world for several hours.
"Topeka tonight looks like a city that
has withstood a siege of war guns.
There are not a dozen buildings in town
that are not almost windowlees, and
many roofs were caved in. The roofs
of many structures, also, were pierced,
The damage can be imagined when it is
known that the hailstones ranged in size
from that of a hen's egg to that of an os
trich egg,' and that thirty minutes after
the storm, one hailstone was picked up
which measured fourteen inches in cir
cumference. Notice to Taxpayer.
On and after July 1, 1897, costs will be
added for the collection of all taxes due
Wasco county on all delinquent rolls
now in the hands of the sheriff. This is
an imperative order from the county
court, and the sheriff has no option but
to collect Buch taxes by levy on property
if not paid voluntarily by property own
ers. All parties concerned are hereby
notified that no leniency will be Bhown
in the collection of taxeB after July 1,
and that levy will be made on all prop
erty delinquent after that date.

Salmon itun Very gotul.
A gentleman who returned yesterday
from a trip down the Columbia and a
visit to some of the canneries, says tho
fish now being taken are remarkably
fine. He saw one fisherman come in
from a night's fishing with a fare of
twelve salmon, which averaged thirty
nine pounds each, or 40S pounds, which,
at 4 cents per pound, netted him iflS.72,
not bad pay for one night's work. The
takes of other boate were almost as good,
some having more fish, but none averag
ing so much in weight. The seines are
doiug well, and at most canneries the
force is kept busy full hours.
A large business in beer is done on the
lower river by a man who cruises up and
down in s gasoline launch loaded with
beer and ice. lie leaves his kegs of beer
and takes away the empty kegs, and, as
there are no freight charges, he has the
control of the business, lie supplies
the scow saloons, some of which use
thirty to forty kegs of beer per day.
The fishermen are pretty regularly wet
outside, especially the seiners, who are
up to their knees in the icy water, and
some of them up to their armpits, most
of the time, and they hive to drink a
lot of beer, or something stronger, to
keep up the equilibrium,
The cannerymen would be happy,
were it not for the very depressed con
dition of the market for canned salmon.
Tho fishermen are now very well content
to get 4 cents a pound for their fish, and
there is no talk of striking for more. In
fact, it iB quite probable that some of
them are shading this price a little.

A Tick in III- Eur.
The Oregon Scout of the L'lth itiBtant
says :
Mr. Darling, father of Mrs. C. S. Mil
ler, of this city, arrived here a few days
ago from his home in Kcho, Umatilla
county. He has been suffering intensely
for about six weeks with an affection of
his ear, which ballled tho skill of phy
sicians there and at La Grande. Upon
his arrival here Dr. I'Uy wus culled, und
it did not take him but u few minutes,
with the uid of hit mirror and instru
ments, to aicertain that a wood tick had
securely fastened itself on the drum ol
tho Buttering man's ear. Tho tick was
removed and appeared to Lie us lively us
a cricket. Jts career is ended, however,
and it is now on exhibition in a vial of
alcohol in tho doctor's office, Tho oper
ation of removing it was a delicate one
and reflects credit on the skillful young
physician.
