Three Towns Suffer Destruction of Life
and Property by Wind.
ATcHIsoN, Kan, May Northeastern
Kansas was visited by three cyclones yes
terday morning. The first struck GoHs, q
small town about forty-nine miles west It
here. -Four dwellings were torn to pieces
and the debris scattered for miles
over the prairie. Three barns were also
shattered. The air was full of flying tim
bers, furniture and household utensils
William Harris photograph gallery was torn
to atoms. J. L. Richardson's Gardner
Pickett's and Frank Meyers dwell
lings were blown away, and Meyers skull
fractured so badly that he will die His wife
and daughters were also injured. Jack
HaWley's blacksmith shop and dwelling
were wrecked, and the barns Of Edward
Hight and James Gibbons shattered.
George ColvilIe was struck by fly
ing tmbers and had both legs
broken, besides receiving other in
jnries. He can not recover, Dozens of
corn-cribs and other buildings were blown
away The path of the cyclone was six
miles wide, and it made complete wreck
of everything in its path. Another cyclone
struck Frankfort on the Central Branch
Railroad at 10:4O O'Clock yesterday morn
ing. 1t burst upon the town with great
fury, blowing down barns corn
cribs and haystacks. No one was
seriously injured. The third cyclone visited
Nortonville on the Santa Fe Road thirteen
miles west of here. Many dwellings were
unroofed. Thomas Adair received a Sc
we're scalp wound, and others were more or

LEXINGTON, Ky.-Mr. John L. Bruce,
OF the United States Revenue G. Collectors
Office, informs an editor Of the Daily
Press, of this city, that for seven years
he suffered terribly from rheumatism
in his ankle, which most of the tim,
was swollen to two or three times its
natural size, and was so painful that he
could not pu, his foot to the ground.
After trying everything he could think
OF without obtaining relief, he at ten
o'clock one morning applied St. Jacobs
Oil and shortly aftcrward made two
further applications. At three o'clock
that afternoon the pain also disappeared,
and the cure was permanent as it was
quick,

TERRITORIAL FAIR.
How it Can be Made 4 arand
Succeae.

To lie PuJkc: Arrangements for the
Territorial fair, to be held at Huron on
September 90 and 30 and October and
,, are rapidly progressing and the pros
poets for grand success are very fat
tering. 1t has been decided TO a!lot
separate spaces for the various county
exhibits and quite number Of counties
have already signiticd their intention Of
making a display. A definite and de-
termincd effort is now being made to
provide for large excursion parties from
the east and with sucl, promise Of sue
cess that in all probability there will be
hundreds Of eastern people present to
avail themselves of so favorable an
opportunity to investigate Dakota S pro-
ductiveness. Under such circumstances
the desirability of having county rep.
resented will be understood by all en-.
terprising citizens. AS is already un-
derstood the transportation of these
exhibits will be without cost Apply to
your station agent for particulars and
notify me at once if you desire space for
an exhibit. This is absolutely necessary
in order that the superintendent ofcon-
struction can act intelligently. The
principal railway companies are giving
the fair their hearty encouragement. A
considerable portion Of the New Orleans
exhibit will be displayed. Governor
Pierce will be present and deliver the
first annual address.
Large exhibits of fine horses and
blood stock are already assured. The
Territorial Horticultural and Forestry
association are making special exer-
tons for fine display. Large purses
have been offered in the speed depart
ment and exciting races may be expect
ed. Negotiations for a grand band
tournament now promise success. Free
motive power for machinery is offered,
and the exhibit in this line will be a
strong attraction. The ladies' depart
mcnt is receiving special attention and
an unusual effort will be made to make
it one OF the most pleasing features Of
the exposition.
The board Of agriculture have under
taken this great work out of purely
patriotic motives, realizing the great
benefits that will accrue from a success
full display. Dakota astonished the
world at New Orleans, and with great
portion Of the New Orleans exhibit at
her command, she can upon her own soil
far eclipse her successful efforts at that
place. Our success depends upon the
people, and Dakota people never fail.
DO not depend upon the efforts of your
neghbor. Go to work yourself. Notify
me at the earliest possible moment Of
your intention to exhibit that space
may be provided.
Write your friends in the east to JON
the excursion parties. Do your part and
Dakota will make the grnndcst exhibit
in the great Northwest.

INTERVIEWED.
Something Concerning the Gran,
Memorial Service.


The Fargo Argus jamestown cor
respondent having attacked Il resident
of this city, charging that he had re-
fused to permit his daughters to sing at
the Grant memorial service because
Gen. Grant had "freed his niggers," and
the item having found its way from the
columns Of the Argus to the columns Of
several respectable papers, thus causing
quite a commotion in local as we'll as
political circles in other parts of the
Territory, an INTER OCEAN scribe was
detailed to interview the resident afore-
sald, who said:
"Until ! saw the Argus item copied
into another paper ! never knew that
my daughters had been asked to sing
Mt the Grant memorial service. then
ascertaincd from them that they had
been asked, and that they had declined,
not out Of any disrespect for Gen. Grant,
but for other reasons of their own.
will say further that both Of my grown
daughters and myself attended the me
mortal service and that, although they
did not sit with the choir, but were in
The audience, they joined, with others,
in the singing. Regarding the asscr-
ton that Grant freed my niggcrs,'
will say that never owned negro in
my life, and consequently had none to
free; furthermore, the negroes owned
by my father were emancipatcd by the
removal OF my parents to Indiana, SO
years ago, where ! was BORN"

here and Fort Totten is much better this
year than last, but between here and
