The Deadly Cyclone:

INDEPENDENCE, No, April l9-At 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon the village CT Brownsville,
Saline county, was almost cntiiely destroyed
| by q cyclone. A drizzlinS rain had been fall
ing since noon, and fow moments before the
storm struck The atmosphere grew close and
heavy, and darkness almost like night epsued.
A few minutes after d horrible roaring noise
| was heard. and the next instant aterrblc black
and angry funnel-shaped cloud was seen COM
ing from the southwest at almost lightning
speed The large part Of tho funnel was
downward, and it seemed to DO whirling in a
rotary motion, and bounded along Gloss to the
earth like rubber ball. When the funnel
| reached the southwestern limits of the town it
seemed to roll along whiting few feet Of the
ground. Large two-story brick business
houses were lifted from their foundations, and
the ruins scattered in chaotic confusion in all
directions.
FRAME DWELLINGS WERE OVERTURNED
and crushed into splinters, while large trees
were uprooted and carried long distances by
the force Of the storm. Hogs and other
animals wore picked up into the
air, carried various distances aud dropped.
bruised and bleeding, along the track
of the storm. The track Of the cyclone was
about l so yards wide and extended from the
southwestern to the northwestern limits Of
town, totally destroying over twenty Of the
principal business houses and dwellings, Two
large business blocks Of two story brick build
ing in the northern part Of town were torn
completely to atoms and the debris scattered
in every direction. Frame dwellings, were
drawn into the seething vortex and crushed
like egg shells and the heavy timbers CARR ed

Expenses Of Garfield's Sickness and Death.
Among the claims passed and allowances
made are the following:

The employees of the executive mansion dur
ing the illness Of President Garfield, thirty
nine in number, are allowed additional pay,
varying from 1915 to $3.50 each.
The report held will be likely to stir up all
the old controversy about the physicians. The
report causes much comment already, and
some of the most intimate friends OF tie late
president charaoterizes it as ridiculous in some
respects. The amount allowed Mrs. Edson,
who acted as nurse, is one of the objectionable
items, because those who were there. say that
it is simply piece Of unwarranted extravaganza
that would not be thought of except for tbs
sentimentality which enshrouds this particular
case.

A Colorado Sensation.
DENVER, COL, April ia big sensation
was created here tonight by the discovery that
papers had been filed in suit by Mrs. H. A.
W. Tabor against her husband for separate
maintenance. Mrs. Tabor is the wife Of Fl. A.
W. Tabor, who is the richest man in the entire
West, lieutenant governor Of Colorado and Z
prominent candidate for the United States SEN
ate. Mrs. Tabor asks that she bo awarded the
fine house on Broadway, valued at $3.50, 900.
and that she be granted $4,000 per year
for her maintenance, alleging thathe husband
is worth between 100000 and So, OOO,-
900. The sensational point Of tho suit lies in
the allegation Of intidelity set forth. in which
the deserted wife says that Mr. Tabor has been
guilty of illicit intercourse with numerous
women Of evil character. In response to this
suit Tabor and his friends say that If Mrs.
Tabor will sue for divorce the suit will be al
lowed to go by default, and he will give the
Broadway house and 100000 outright, but
she will not consent to divorce Tho case
will hardly 60 to trial as it would create fear
