Cars Overturned by a Cyclone.

By the wrecking of the Chicago, Milwau-
and Sioux City, six of the passengers were
injured seriously and twenty-one more or
less bruised or disfigured. l.. NJ. Scott, the
express messenger, was badly hurt about
the head, and at last reports was still I'M
conscious. Mail Agent Williams was also
hurt internally, and is in a critical condition.
Conductor Mccall says:
The first warning | had of any trouble
coming was the appearance OF a monstrous
whole sky and appeared to be appall-
ingly close to the earth. 1t was then about
$50 p. M, and it had been raining heavily
for some time. We had been running on
tull speed from leaving Elk Point, but as the
wind rose we slowed up some, and when the
squall struck us our speed did not exceed
ten or twelve miles an hour. The first
shock we experienced was a heavy Earring,
which was felt clear from stern to stem OF
The train, causing the cars to ia tile as though
they were mere paper toys. Then another
and repowerful wind struck us and in less
than a moment the cars were blown from
the tracks and thrown upon their sides in
the ditch and l found myself struggling be-
tween the seats with Il heavy passenger
grabbing me for dear life. mailing struck
on my left face laying the cheek bone wide
open and bruising my right arm. Where
we went off, the track is almost level with
the prairie The two coaches, baggage and
mail cars and tender were thrown on their
sides in the ditch, and the engine was forced
from the track but remained standing.
There were about sixty passengers in ALL
including train hands and a few section
hands in the forward coach. All were more
or less bruised, but the most serious cases
are Express Messenger Scott and Mail Agent
Williams, who were hurt internally. Two
ladies also received severe scalp wounds.
We got the injured ones to the farm houses
near and to McCook by team.

George Eliot's Grave.

A London letter records quaint ex-
perience in searching for George Eliots
grave. Entering the cemetery the
searcher came upon gravedigger hard
at work and unmindful of the presence
of a stranger. GOOD morning, Mr..
Gravedigger, said the admirer of
George Eliot. Scarcely raising his
eyes, he mumbled out ''mornin."

tured, "to George Eliot's grave"
Never card of i'm OF didn't, he lacon-
ically responded. why" We fastened

leaned on his shovel, and queried: did

mas as lived up at Ighgate way" MY
good man. George Eliot was a woman,
not man; she was a great literary
character, and wrote under mans
name. Why, all the world knew her,
and she is buried here somewhere

Literature in the Mountains.

From the CLARION pa Jacksonlan
An alleged minister of the Gospel Is
writing continued story for the Brook
lyn Democrat The following is ran
dom extract:
with whoop and revolver fash
they are up to the boys, leaping from
their heaving ponies like Comanches.
Stray bullets whistle here and there and
one goes crasl, through the window at
Sans ear. Botteis break and the land
lord swears in the bar room. The COW
boys yell and another bt1ilet goes into
the window near Jim's ear. -
What a lark says Jim.
"'On a blizzard, says Sam.
Landlord, yell the Wild Arabs,
you sneak-thief, pimpled faced gut
starving. bottle-necked old hypocrite-
out with your best smile and billed owl,
Or by the bones of these two city chaps
we'll pipe the devil out of your tiger
hole
"'And now you two fellows, who
thunder double shot towers into one
standing cared, white tailed jack-out
with the chink.'
"'All right says Sam. Smile on
boys. We'll pipe the devil for you, big
as Colorado Clear the way there, rot
gut, give the boys chance.
Cup comes the fiddle and out pulls
the flute, and the bar-room rattles with
a cowboy musical hell. Glasses are
broken, chairs are smashed and the
ceiling riddled with bullets"
Where is the Society of the Suppress
sion OF Vice? We wonder if the good
Christians of Brookville, who would be
Mortified to see their children reading
novel; imagine that such mess of vul
sarity and profanity as the above is
calculated to inspire love for the true,
the good and beautiful, simply because
it is written by minister? Just as
likely as not.

Tho Bsrsholdi Statue In New York.

The celebration in New York harbor of
the arrival Of Bartholdi's Statue OF Liberty
was a; grand affair. A report says: The
scene in the harbor was one of the liyeliest
description; nearly every vessel waved the
tri-color and the stars and stripes. When
the vessels that were to escort the French
steamer Isere, which brought over the
Status 10 Hedloe'a island arrived in the
lower bay the water was swarming with
craft and as far as the eye could reach
there were vessels without number. Every
sort of vessel had been pressed into service.
Soon volumes OF smoke were seen belching
forth from the tunnels OF the Isere, her pro-
peller began to revolve, and she was headed
IN the direction OF Bealoe's island, The
French man of-Waf ia Fore headed the pro
fessioh Soon her gunners opened the sa-
lutte OF honor by firing twenty-one guns in
sixty seconds. Hardly had the smoke
cleared away from her deck when the United
States man -of-war Omaha replied with
broadside. Then the Alliance and the
Powhatan fired their guns. The guns OF
Fort Wadsworth Numbered out a salutcas
the naval procession passed. Such Il scene
as was then presented has rarely been wit
Messed In the bay. One. hundred stetmers
and yachts, with flying flags and streamers,
crowded with people, followed the Isere.
The music OF dozen bands fioated over the
water, while the war ships Numbered and the
forts re-echoed with booming guns. The
guests on the Alliance shouted themselves
hoarse.
The French officers Of the isere stood on

American citizens who are too busy
to keep the run of discussion, and who
feel that rights and privileges are Sc
cured to them beyond all question,
under our form of government, may
awake some day to find these rights
most seriously invaded. Under the
specious plea of correcting evils OF
municipal government, strong inf1u-
ences are already arrayed in favor
of restricting suffrage in cities, on
questions relating to city affairs, by
affixing property qualification to the
elective franchise, and by creating adj
ditional tests of eligibility to hold
office. Should this be accomplished
it will be short step to more compre-
hensive restrictions-and all this in
fragrant disregard of the facts that in
this free country suffrage is based on
manhood and not money. It will be
well to watch and mark the progress Of
the new political heresy.

Iowa University Exercises.

On account OF the special exercises in the
celebration of the twenty fifth anniversary
OF the reorganization OF the state univer-
sity at Iowa City, an unusually large num-
Der of alumni and strangers were in attend
ance. Chancellor Ross's address to the law
class was on the subject "The Law School,"
After discussing the three modes OF the
study OF law, namely: alone, in the law Of
flee, and in the school, he stated the great
advantages OF the.last method, making an
effective appeal for the law school, which
he considered an institution peculiar to our
time and country. He spoke of the fact
that only one-half OF one per cent. OF the
white male population OF the United States
are college graduates, yet OF this small por-
ton 80 per cent. are congressman and Sc
per cent. senators. He inferred that the
training Of the law school would do for
lawyers what the collegiate education did
for others.
