BRUTALITY UNEQUALED.

An Inhuman Fiend In Harvey County Out
RACES q Thirteen Year Old Child.
A special dispatch to the Topeka Com
monwealth, of a recent date, is as followt:
F. A. Norton, formerly county superin'
tendent of Harvey county, and lately pro.
prietor of second hand store at this place,
has been arrested, charged with rape upon
the person of Tanner Alleson, q little girl
aged thirteen years, the daughter and only
child of widow with whom he was board
ing. He took her out in buggy, presum-
ably for short ride into the country where
he was going to see some one. When in the
sand hills few miles north of town, the
girl says he took her from the buggy, out
ragged her person, and then drove to Nc
Pberson, where he kept her over night and
further required her to submit to him. He
has a wife and several children living in
Newton. Public feelic G is generally excl
ted against him, many declaring that he
shall be lynched. He is man aged thirty
five or forty years, and very intelligent,
which makes the case doubly heiuous.
LATER.-Prof. Norton, the nan charged
with the seduction of Mrs. Alleson's little
girl, was taken out of town by private con-
this afternoon, and taken to New
ton Jail. Before getting him out of town
q large Infatuated mob had gathered and
treated him to q coat of tar.

San Francisco Chronicle.
Miss Lillian F. Smith, who styles her
self the "Califorria girl champion xifIo
shot of the world" gave . remarkably
interesting exhibition of her ekill and
unerring precision with the rifle yester-
day evening. Around the wooden figure
of deer. suspended in mid-air, num-
Der of glass balls were attached by wires
Miss Lillian, with seven pound ballard
rife, carrying . 22.calibre cartridge,
broke ball after ball at distance Of IS
feet with unfailing aim, firing both from
the right and left shoulder, shooting
with. the rifle held upside down and
backward over the shoulder, sighting
with hand mirror. One Of the most
remarkable feats was the breaking Of .
glass ball revolving on wire in hori-
zontal circle, with radius Of about nix
feet. This feat she also performed shoot;
ing backward, using . hand mirror to
sight with. Ten glass balls were sprung
from trap, with only q four foot riae,
and every one broken before they reach
ed the floor. Twenty balls were attach
ed to the deer, which was caused to
swing, and every one broken inside Of q
minute without q miss. Two
small balls no larger than .
hazlenut shared the same fate, and Q
nickle cent piece concealed behind .
card was perforated in the center. At
ter the programme had been completed,
Crittenden Robinson, the well known
wing shot, had acquired such confidence
in the accuracy Of the aim of the young
lady-who is really only q child Of "A
years of age-that he volunteered to hold
the ace of Cubs, which he took from .
pack of cards in his rs I'D, while she en-
deavored to perforate it, and she justi-
fed his confidence by putting a bali
through the center of the ace spot.

WET WEATHER TALK

It's just q. cheap aud easy to rejoice;
When GOD sorts out the weather and sends "a
Wy, rains my choice.
Men generly to all tents
Although they're ap' to grumble some
Puts most their trust in providence,
And takes things as they come
That is, the commonalily
OF men that's lived as long as me
Has watched the world enough to learn
They're not the boss of this concern.
With some. OF course it's different
I've seed Dung men that xnowed it all,
And didn't like the way things went
On this terrestrial ball,
But all the same, the rain some way
Rained just as hard on picnic day;
Or when they really wanted it
1t may be would mt rain bit!
I n this existence, dry and wet
VIII overtake the best of men
Some little SHIFT o. clouds'll sheet
The sun OF now and then.
But maybe as you're wonderin' who
You've fOOl-like lent your umbrella to,
And want it-out'll pop the kun,
And you'll be glad you amt got none.
II sggrevates the farmers, too
There's TOO much wet, or too much sun,
Or work, or waiun rOun to do
Before the plOwn's done,
And maybe, like as not, the wheat,
Jest as it's lookin' hard to beat,
Will ketch the corns jintin' out!
These here cyclones foolin' round
And back ard crops-and wind and rain
And yet the corn that's waLered down
May elbow up again!
They amt no sense, as can see,
For mor,ais rich as you and me,
A fault n Natures wise intents
And lock'n horns with Providence!
1t amt no use ito grumble and complaint!
It's jest as cheap and easy to rejoice;
When God sorts out the weather and sends raj

THERE'S music m A MOTHERS VOICE

There's music in mothers voice,
More sw eet than preezes signing:
There's kindness in q mothers glance,
Too pure for ever dying.
There's love within a mothers breast
so deep, it's still o'erhowing,
And are for those she calls her own,
That's ever, ever growing.
There's anguish in moth er's tear,
When farewell fondIy taking,
That so the heart Of pity moves,
1t scarcely keeps from breaking.
And when mother knt els to Heaven,
And for her child Is praying,
o, who shall half the feIvor tell;
That burns in all she's saying.
A mother how her tender arts
Can sOothe the BIZ east ofsadness!
And through the gloom of life once more
Bid shine the sun of gladness.
A mother! when, like evenings star,
Htr course hath ceas'd before US.
From brighter worlds regards US still,
And watches fondly DER Us.

INcALCULABLE DAMAGE 10 FARMS.
The damage to the farms and the losses
OF the farmers will be incalculable. It is
said that thousands of horses, COWS and
hogs were lost in the southern part of the
State and that scores of fine farms were
completely ruined.
All telegraphic communications with the
west line Of the Southern Kansas railroad
was cut of and the lines still remain down
20 that the full extent Of the disaster can
not now be leaned. The railroad was
badly washed in many places. Nearly ev-
cry bridge along its line was destroyed.
county and township bridges also suffered
greatly.
1t is utterly impoe sible to give any esti-
nation of the damage done. and it is not
likely that any positive figures as TO the
extent OF the calamity can be given before
several days. Enough Is known. however,
to justify the statement that the storm was
the worst ever known in this section.

FLOODS CAUSE ANOTHER CATAS-
TROPHE.

Flood Near Independence Causes Grea
Damage and Loss of Life.
The following is q dispatch from Indepen.
dence, this State, of the date of May 18:
Many more lives have been added by q
terrible storm in this section, to the already
long list Of victims of the floods in Kansas
this Spring.
The story of the latest casualty is but a
that the floods are still so great in this vi
cinity that commun; cation with the sur
rounding country is almost impossible.
For this reason it is feared that when full
reports can be received concerning the ef-
fects of the storm the losses will be much
greater than at present reported.
RAINS WORSE THAN EVER KNOWN.
For thirty-six hours the rain poured
down in torrents through Southern Kan.
sas. The storm was in all respects the most
terrible ever known in this section, anu the
amount of rain fall was far greater than ev-
or recorded.
In all sections creeks lose with the great
est rapidity. The farms seemed turned in
to veritable lakes and small gullies became
rushing streams. These poured into the
creeks and these in turn hurled their tor
rents into the Elk and Verdigris rivers, IN
til they had far exceeded their natural linn.
it's and had spread over miles Of fertile
country.
SIX LIVES LOST ON GARD CREEK.
Card creek, seven miles west of Indepen-
dence, flows in goodly portion of its course
through comparatively level land. On or
near its banks Rere situated several houses.
In these the people, 80 it il said, though no
reliable information can yet be obtained
owing to the terrible condition of the roads,
had retired ct night without fear that the
creek, which was much swollen, would over
dow its banks.
In the middle of the night, - far - can
be determined, great wall of water came
rushing down the creek aud in an instant
the houses were swept away and dashed to
pieces.
Six persons, who were in the structures
ara known TO have persisted in the food.
Their names have not yet been learned.
-FOUR MORE POSSIBLE DEATHS.
Mr.. Ria, Mn. Woed and her two children
.ttempted to escape from the floods during
He afternoon. In crossing . creek at .
ford, which in ordinary days was shallow,
but which the storms had turned into .
mighty torrent, their wagon was overturn-
ID and al four were preGpitated into the
Ioaming food and were drowned. Such ct
east Is the story brought here to-day,
though nothing positive can be learned. It
s als0 lust possible that the four persons
named Were part of the six who lost their
ives in the food on the Card creek. No
