A Cyclone.

Scholars Ranch, Fall River Co., June
7.-EDIToR CHRONICLE We had a cy-
clone here last Friday that took every
thing within its track. Two men were
at work in a field near the CHEYENNE
river and they unhitched their team
from the pillow and left it and their
wagon standing in the field. With four
animals in charge they sought what
they thought would be a place of salty,
a gulch, and under some big cedar trees
They were soon joined by two more
men, who had barely reached the place
when q cyclone struck the trees and
wrenched them from the ground, like
so many straws, but as luck would have
it neither the men or animals were hurt.
Messrs. Thinner and Schiller, the two
who first sought shelter, owned the team
and when they went to look for their
wagon they found it mashed and scatter
cd all over the field. II carried one
wheel and axle about one hundred
yards towards their place of shelter and
left another where the wagon was first
standing, but the rest of the vehicle was
in splinters.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Reprusonta.
tives of the various American steamship
lines called on Postmaster General Villas
to-day 10 re-argue the claim for the distri-
button of 100000 appropriated by the
last congress for carrying the mails. They
asserted that Notwithstanding the Ian
guage of the act is in a simple form of
appropriation for the purpose of carrying
mails, and authorizes the payment only
upon a contract to the lowest bidder, yet
Inasmuch as there is not money enough to
be divided equally among all the compa-
MES at the rate of 80 ents per mile, the
postmaster general ought to advertise for
bids on all different routes, taking into
consideration the different times of~sailing,
so that the companies can comute the
rate per mile. so that all should have a
share in proportion to the mileage
of their lines. They stated that
the companies were all aiming to
bid such a price for carrying
the mails as would give all their proper
share and entirely distribute the appro-

DIS MONIES, Ia, june 29.-"We
want to be married on the dome of the
capital, said Nunley Clark, a Warren
county youth entering Justice Eglestone' s
Office, on the Fast side, this evening,
with Miss Jettie Collins, a pretty maiden
of Warren county, leaning on his arm.
ITS too hot to go up there this after
noon said the justice, hopping his brow
with a red bandana.
"But I'd be willing to pay extra-I
don't want you to do it for nothing, said
the bridegroom expectant.
"Well, l wouldn't climb those stairs
this sweltering afternoon for less than
$40 said the perspiring justice. IF
you have a mind to pay that much, all
right; but I'd advise you to take a 81
ceremony right here in the office. 1t will
tie you just as tight as the $40 wedding in
the dome"
What do you say, Jettie2' inquired
the matrimonial -inelined young man.
Why, I say a y the IS every time, -
said sensible Jettie. 1T will buy thirteen
yards of real pretty carpet for the dining
room, and | hate to wait another year for
that carpet"
well, go ahead, Mr.. Squire, give us
81 worth, and don't leave any loops IN
the knot, for | never want it loosed, said
Nunley, and in FIVE minutes Mr., and MIS-.
Clark were on their way to a carpet store.
