The Effects o, Thursdsv's Hail Storm.

Saline county farm property was not
free from the damaging effects Of the
hail and wind which accompanied the
cyclones last Thursday afternoon. II
Is believed that the same cyclone
which did the damage in the North
Pole Mound country, after eircling
about on the Solomon, made straight
shoot toward Gypsum Greek; hut
that just before 1t reached that coun-
try, the force Of it was broken by a
stroke of lightning, and the cyclape
broken into smaller ones. which sped
over the country bringing destruction
to the crops Of a number of farms. II
Is the testimony of several reliable
witnesses that the stroke Of lightning
was plainly noticed, rs also the effects
Of it. A number of farmers living
along line directly east of Salina TO
Solomon City were badly damaged.
Messrs. A. F. and 5. w. Collins lost
by the hail about 400 acres each Of
wheat. The very day of the catas-
trophe the former gentleman remarked
to a grain dealer that he hoped to real
ize six or eight thousand dollars from
his wheat, and in less than one hour
from the time of this remark he had
not more than enough left for seed
The large wheat fields Of Messrs. Bald
win 4 Stricken, in the vicinity Of the
fields Of the Messrs. Collins, were not
damaged. Mr.. Pepper lost about 100
acres of wheat, and his corn was dam
aged. Mr. Petit lost about sixty acres
of wheat. and acorncrib was destroyed.
Thompson Trosper lost about sixty
acres of wheat, and his corn was dam
aged. J. Fisher lost about ten per
cent Of his wheat, and his corn crib
was knOc ked down. Phil Rineman's
corn was destroyed, and the chimneys
to his house were knocked down. c.
8. Martin was damaged by sheds
corrals, fences and out-buildings being
blown down. His crops were unin-
jured. Sam Martins Iout-buildings
were blown over. The cattle sheds on
the Otis Ballard place, managed by
Wesley Kouns, some 100 feet in length
were destroyed. Pat Ryan lost
about fifty acres of wheat and thirty
acres of corn. w. w. Peck's wheat,
which was reported entirely destroy
ed, Is not in near 30 bad Q condition as
first reported. He will save consid-
cradle of it Mr.. Harrington lost
about sixty acres of wheat, Mr.. Dor
finger about thirty acres Of wheat,
and Mr.. Roggendorf met also with
quite loss. Sam Brownrig lost about
sixty acres of wheat, and Tim Sullivan
the same amount. No doubt some
others suffered, either from the effects
of the hail or wind, but have not been

road run track up to the grove, have

the fixing up Of the grove In manner
rivaling Bismarck. The shade I'm Oak

Odations could be made first-class, the
river put to good use for boating pur.
poses, aud first-class picnic ground
made out Off Probably the railroad
would give cheap excursion rates from

The Abilene and Solomon Sunday
School picnic people seem to have en-
joyed themselves at Sslina last week,
u the newspapers are correct in their
statements. The Abilene Gd,stte re-
ports rs follows:
:. Five coaches were occupied by the
Abileneiies, the remaining two being
held In reserve for the schools at Sol
ONION. Arrived ut the latter place, the
embarkatiOn was quickly effected, and
they went on their way rejoicing,
as happy and noisy q company as ever
invaded our fair sister city of Salina.
Oakdale Park proved . delight
fth place, and the tables In due time
were spread with the good things
which disappeared with the rapidIty
Of DIR. Tanners watermelon at the con-
clusiOn Of the forty days fast, Under
the combined attack Of nearly five
hundred hungry excursiOnists. The
visitors then took In the town, which
was unanimously voted to be fright
smart place.. The ice cream saloons
were most liberaly patronized, and the
hotel parlOrs crowded with visitors.
Six O'Clock had been announced as the
hour Of starting homeward, and the
train was backed up the switch to the
vicinity Of the bridge, and ,the warn
ing whistle caused lively scurrying
for the cars; some Of our belated fair
naidens making such time a. would
do credit to the champion base runner
Of fiirst-class ball nine. Nobody was
left, however, and the return home
was most pleasant run, the air being
delightfully."- cool. Promptly at 9 o'clock
the headlight Of No. IS slione around
the western curve, and In q few mo-
nlents the excursiOnists were among
their friends, having enjoyed most
heartily their visit to Oakdale Park
and Salina.
The Abilene Democrat says: 1.-THE
day was pleasantly spent In walk
ing around, seeing the sights, and be
coming acquainted with the Salina
people, who had joined I'm with the
Abilene and Solomon schools. The
ice cream and lemonade stands were
literally pstrOnized, and the duca!s
seemed to flow in one silver stream in
to the pockets Of the stand keepers.
About five o'clock found almost all on
the cars waiting to be taken home.
The train had been backed up the side
track to within q half mile of the Park,
and all got aboard there, The Journey
home was accomplished In safety, and
little before dusk, the happy, but
ed.crOwd landed at the Abilene de-
pot; each one saying had "a splendid
time" About seventy-five dollars
were realized over and above expenses,
which will go to fila the excheIuers Of
the respective Sabbath Schools.
The Abilene Chronicle thus depOses:
At Ssslina, owing tO some misunder-
standing, but one school Joined the
.excursiOnists. However i'm the after
noon Salina turned out In force. No
regular programme had been prepared
for the occasion, but general good
time was INDUCED In. About six
o'clock the happy and tired crowd star
tedfOf home, reaching here before dark
all reporting a good time. Financially
the excursion was n success. About

Beebe's field Of rye just south of town,

was that both machines did splendid

plements during the years gone. There
were q number of farmers present.
Messrs. Andersons & Ferlin represent
the Marsh, and Peterson 4 Nelson the

way to find out the merits of these
machines. Both machines probably
gained friends last Saturday.

to beguile the little fish to bite our
wiggling bait, and coaxed them with

to lose the bait - fast as we could put

EXPERT PENMANSHIP.-A the
Omaha National Bank may be seen
a $50 bill executed entirely with a
pen by some expert penman and
forger. 1t is very Skillfully done,
and not one person out of a hundred
would detect it without the closest
examination, and. even then the
chances are that the detection would
be purely accidental. 1t is executed
in all the various colored inks used
on bank notes, and even the paper
itself is made to look like bank note
paper by little strokes of the pen.
This bill is really a wonderful curl
osity. 1t was paid to the bank by
government official, through whose
hands it passed without detection.
It was received at the bank, but it's
true character was soon afterWard
discovered.
The execution of the bill probably
required two days hard work,
which would give the forger $40 q
day for his labor. He has probably
set afloat many of these bills, as we'll
as bills of larger denominations,
and it is likely that the twenty
dollar bill above mentioned has
passed through hundreds of hands
without detection.
