A Whole Town Destroyed by Storm.

A Whole Town Destroyed by n Storm.
The Walnut Valley (Kansas,) Times of
June II, says:
Last evening Eldorado and surrounding
country was visited with one of the most
terrible storms ever known in this part of
the State. About o'clock in the evening
storm came up from the northwest, az
companied with wind, hail and rain, and
before the people had time to make any
! preparation for it, the hurricane swept
through the town. The clouds were of
inky blackness I; the vivid flashes of light
ming, accompanied by crashing thunder,
caused our citizens to feel that the storm
was of no ordinary magnitude. Every mo-
ment the gale increased and, as the rain
came down in torrents, the situation be-
came more fearful.
Every momentary lull in the storm only
seemed to increase its fury, and in fifteen
minutes from the commencement men,
women and children could be seen flying
through the streets, seeking protection from
the falling houses. BY this time tho air
was filed with flying timbers. Large
houses were completely demolished others
were unroofed, while others, were lifted
from their foundations and carried by the
wind from forty to two hundred feet. And
yet there seemed to be no lull in tho storm.
AS we stood by the window, gazing out
ward, we could plainly see houses toppling
over. The roar Of the storm was terrible
and the earth seemed to tremble beneath
our feet.
We have been unable to get any particu-
lar news from the surrounding country,
but for four or five miles around, the same
wholesale destruction seems to be visible,
Houses were blown down, fences destroyed
and the crops ruined. Many of our people
are left in destitute circumstances.
Our town this morning presents most
woe-begone appearance. People who were
in comfortable circumstances yesterday,
are to-day left without anything.
Over 100 families have temporary homes
with their neighbors. Most of these people
are destitute and stand in need of immedi-
ate relief.
A dead man has been taken out of the
Walnut river. Several persons will die
from injuries received. High water pre-
vents us from receiving fuller reports.

A Teacher Murdered in Sight of her
Scholars.

Miss Anna Dwight, school mistress was
murdered on the 22d ult., near La Grange,
Ind, by a young man named Chauncey
Barnes, of Elkhart CO. Barnes left his faith
er'shouse the day before, walked to White
Pigeon, four miles distant, hired horse
and buggy there, and taking with him a
woman whose name and character are not
yet known, went to the school-house where
Miss Dwight was teaching. Miss Dwight
was at the time enjoying tho noon recrea-
ton with the school children on the margin
of the lake near by, when Barnes and the
Dwight to the buggy side, when Barnes
alighted and asked her to walk with him,
as he wished to speak to her privately
She consented and they went a short dis
tance and sat down on a log and conversed
a few minutes, when Barnes was seen to
rise, draw revolver from his pocket and
fire two shots at her. She fell at the first
fire. He then presented the pistol at his
own head and fired several times. Two
children ran frightened to neighbor near
by who ran Immediately to the spot, found
Miss Dwight dead, and the young man re-
loading his pistol. He and the unknown
woman were promptly placed in custody,
and Surgeon Elliott, of White Pigeon,
sent for, The doctor reports four wounds
in Barnes head, two of which entered the
brain, and that this would eventually prove
fatal. An elimination of the parties was
had before Justice Galloway, the young
man committed to Jail, and the woman
held to bail in the sum of 81, ,000-Charles
Dwight, the father Of the murdered girl
going her bail. The young man was COM
mitted to Jail on the 22d ult.
Other physicians are not so certain rs
to the seriousness of his wounds. Great
excitement prevails in the vicinity of the
homicide. The neighbors are prepared to
finish the work the young man attempted
on himself, but Mr.. Dwight protested
against it, and a better judgment prevail
ed. There is some comment on the fact
of the father of the murdered girl bailing
the woman. The only supposed cause of
the crime is the rejection of Barnes as a
suitor a short time ago, and the acceptance
by Miss Dwight of the attentions of anoth-
er person.

A Dream Comes True.

A Richmond paper of last week says that
gentleman living in Wilkes county, S. c.,
sold land to his neighbor for 1000. Busi-
ness calling him away soon after, he left
the money with his wife. On returning he
stopped over night with. a friend ten miles
from his home. He dreamed that men had
entered his house, murdered his wife and
two children, stole his money, and destroyed
his property. He asked a pedlar to accom-
pany him at once to his home. On arriving
he found his wife murdered, and two men
counting out the money he had left with
her. He and the pedlar being armed, fired
upon the men and killed them. They turn
cd out to be the man to whom he had sold
the land, and his son.

A Horrible Accident.

A farmer was decapitated by moving
machine with which he was at work on his
premises, near Southport, Ind, last Tues
day afternoon. At the time of the accident
the farmer was examining some portions
of the machine which had got out of gear,
when the horses attached, suddenly started
causing the blades to revolve, one of them
striking the man in the back of the neck,
severing the head from the body as clean
as though guillotined. A youthful son
witnessed the terrible accident, and, dumb
with horror, grasped the head by the Hair
and ran with it into his mothers presence.

History Of the War in Europe.

The National Publishing Co., of Phila-
delphia, have just issued very valuable
history of the late War between Germany
and France, from the pen of one of our
most popular writers, Mr.. JAMES ID.
MCCABE, JR.
In a large volume of 800 octave pages,
the author tells a wonderful story-al the
| stranger because of it's truth. lie tells of
battles which have shaken Europe to its
centre, and the consequences of which,
even we of the Western World must feel (;
of patriotism, heroism, military skill and
craftsmanship, never surpassed in history
The author writes with the weight and
force of truth, and the merits of his book
are its reliability and strict impartiality.
The book is complete in every particular.
1t describes the causes of the war, and the
events which proceeded it ; the opening
campaign, and the first reverses upon the
French people the frantic effort to rescue
the beaten army, and the terrible disaster
of Sedan; the capture of the Emperor Ma
poleon, and an entire army the Revolution
in Paris the rise and formation of the Re
public the fight of the Empress from
Paris /; the siege and surrender of Strasbourg
and the frontier fortresses of France the
triumphal advance of the German armies
to Paris the efforts Of Bazaine to escape
army the investment and seige of Paris !;
the detailed history of this great siege its
plans, sorties, battles, successes and fail
ure the course of events in the beleagured
city, given in the form of full diary
of the events of the siege the
campaigns on the Loire, and i'll other por-
tiOns of France the peace negotiations, the
surrender of Paris, and the treaty; the ma
val history of the war the diplomatic his
tory on both the German and French sides I;
the history of the formation of the great
German Empire the proclaiming of King
William, Emperor, and the realization of
German unity; the events of the civil war
and second siege of Paris, its terrible scenes
OF bloodshed and vandalism, with q min
uteness, graphicness and briliancy, which
leaves nothing to be desired. No intelli-
gent person can afford to be uniformed as
to these events which have left so deep an
impression on the worlds history, and few
will fail to read this splendid work or
having read it, to endorse it as the STAN
ddrd American History of the War.
In this age Of sensational literature, we
cannot too highly commend this brilliant
and thoughtful narrative to our readers.
The book is handsomely bound, and illus
trated with $50 maps, portraits battle
scenes and views of the principal localities
connected with the war. No expense has
been spared by the publishers to make it
worthy OF the support Of the public and
we predict for it an immense sale, especially
MS its low price brings It within the reach
of all. 1t is published in both English and
German, .sold by subscription only, and the
publishers want agents IN every county.

The soda lake, recently found at Inde-
pendence rock, is one mile and halt in
circumference, and it is estimated that at
least GO, 600 tons of soda can be gathered
from it annually at a cost Of two dollars per
ton. The lake is replenshed from springs
which seem to rise from the bedrock, which
is composed of kind of granite containing
soda felspar. The location was made
for surface deposit, and for alum, soda,
borax and all other alkaline substances.
The lake is sixty-fve miles distant from
Rawlings, on the Union Pacific railroad
There are doubtless in that State many de-
posits of soda equally as good as that men
toned above, and some of them, perhaps,
near the railroad. Our prospectors will do
well to keep an eye open during their trav-
els through the country for soda, alum,
borax, salt, sulphur, etc, as deposits of all
these minerals are likely to become very
valuable at no distant day, now that the
great railroad is completed.
