In describing cyclone, which pass
ed over Smith county, the Pioneer
says;
The most notable occurrence was
that of Mr.. William Kenion and his
son, who were plowing corn at the
time the cyclone made its appearance.
The father noticing the approaching
danger, called to the son to lie down
on the ground. The boy did so, but
the terrible tornado lifted him several
feet into the air and carried him a dis
lance of three hundred yards. The
father was also carried near the same
distance, but struck on the ground
several times, and says that he. could
distinctly hear the voice of the boy
above hina in the dense clouds of dust.
Both parties were considerably hurt
and bruised, but not seriously. The
plow teams were also carried, "A long
distance, but neither team was killed.
Another remarkable occurrence. con-
nected with the cyclone was the ofaet
that it drew water frem the Medicine,
and carried it off into the clouds,
draining the stream for several hun
dred yards in length. Large oak trees
were unRooted and carried away.
The cyclone was plainly discernible
from this place a distance of fifteen
miles, and in appearance resembled,
and was supposed to be a water-spout.
Ex-city treasurer Cook, of Topepa,
Mrs. Price, and a negro burglar.
caused sensation there last Saturday
night. Mrs. Price was formerly Miss
Maggie Jackson, beautiful and popu-
lar belle in Topeka society. She mar

when ar. Cook came to her rescue,
and a.nesperate fight ensued between

the latter with the hall lamp and the
bnrglar stabbing him with knife.
The Fufian finally jumped through q

used to work for Mrs. Price, and knew
she had valuable tewelry, was found
next morning with:marks OF the lamp
on his head and face and was arrested
as the burglar. Mr.. Cook is not dam
geroQsIy injured, but his gallant res
cue OF the lady in the case has marred
his own reputation as man OF good

The Iowa Republicans claim that
they were just In the line of pro-
priety in the action taken on the
Presidents Southern policy. AS it
was an experiment, SO understood
and admitted, there was no neces-
sity for expressing an opinion on
the subject, and it was the agree
ment In advance that no opinion
should be given in the resolutions.
The movement by some indiscreet
Republicans to force the ''policy"
question on the convention was re-
garded as . violation of the agree
ment, and hence it was received
with disfavor. The experiment
may safely be left to work out the
salvation of the country, If such
shall be its mission, aud Republic
cans may wait and watch the pro-
gress OF the policy. The endorse
ment OF that which is confessedly
an experiment will be- seasOnable
and timely when it accomplishes
the object for which it was Intro
duced to the public North and
South. II 1t succeeds, all Republi-
cans will rejoice. If it fails, those
who doubt its practicability will
not be disappointed.

On the 1lth, w. w. Bloss, Esq,
managing editor of the Kansas City
Journal, took some friends into q
saloon in that city and treated them
to drinks. Afterward an alterca-
ton arose between he aud the bar
tender in relation to the pay, when
Bloss drew small pistol and fred
at the bar man. The ball hit
just above the eye, glanced around
the forehead, and went out near the
ear. 1t was q narrow escape indeed
for the bar tender. We were never
more surprised than when we read
an account of the affair, and found
It difficult to realize that Mr.. Bloss
had turned himself into q shooting
man. We knew him many years
ago when he was editor ofthe Leav-
enworth Times, and have known
him more or less ever since, and he
is tho last man we would have pick
ed out to commit q deed of violence,
which came near being murder, and
unprovoked at that. We have as
yet seen no satisfactory explanation
OF the shooting affair. That q man
must be shot for asking pay for his
goods, will not do at all. We shall
be glad to know that what one state
mont gives as q reason for Mr..
Bloss' action IL true, that he was
crazy. We hope he will be dealt
with according to law.

The following sensible remarks
are from the Chetopa Advance
"The more quietly and peaceably
we get on, the better. Ia nine ca
ses out of ten the wisest policy is,
if man cheats you, quit dealing
with him; If he is abusive, quit
his company; il he ISLANDERS you,
take care to live so that nobody
will believe him; no matter who
he is, or how he misuses you, the
wisest way is to let him alone; for
there is nothing better than this
cool, calm, quiet way of dealing
with the wrong We meet with"
