Il C4LM BEFORE THE STORM.


The Anglo Russian Situation One of Unccr.
taiaty-An AbnormaI Condition of 4fairs.
London dispatch says: At this writing the
Anglo Russian situation is one ofuncertainty.
There is absolutely no war news, no peace
news and no news of truce. No one-that is.
no one outside of the ministry circles-is war
ranted in drawing any conclusion from this
abnormal condition of affairs 1t should be
borne in mind that up to this moment Russia
has given the Sexon reader not an item of
news. Russia has acted, has advanced, has
waged battle. has taken territory, but has said
nothing. England has done all the talking
has made all the explanations. Hence the
czar has had no retractions to make, but Mr..
Gaostone's ne cessity for making excuses has
been so supreme that in his efforts to talk
against the blows last Monday he succeeded,
without saying anything, in making the
greatest speech of his life, and for making it
got a completely silenced opposition unlim-
tied credit, and $500O0,000 cash. For forty
eight hours alter the prime minister's mar
velous grafton every lingo in England was a
Gladstone man, and every quaker prayed for
him as a man of peace. The war party were
sure he meant TO wipe Russia out of Asia.
The peace folks said: There Is q statesman
who realizes the value of human life" After
five days it is found that the premer's ad-
dress is still an oracle. If it is to be peace
speech he urged every honorable effort TO Sc
cure an honorable peace. If it is 10 be war
speech he dwelt upon the necessity of main
tanning the British honor. SO it happens at
this time that here, the very center of the old
certainty be said than that the Anglo Russian
situation Is uncertain. 1t Is probable the sit
uation will remain as 1t is unIij after the sec
ond council at Gatschina.

Further particulars of the storm at Pleas

about o'clock the wind increased in force
coming from the northwestern portion of the
state. VIII en- 1t reached Pleasant Hill a num-
Der II chimneys were blown over and sky
nghtsJ broken, and in portions of the village
fences we're overturned and wrecked. The
chief track of the wind, however, was be-
tween Greenwood and Pleasant Hill, on the
main line of the Missouri Pacific railway.
Sweeping south it ran against freight train
of twenty-one cars en- route north from Har-
risonvi lie on the Texas branch of the Mis-
souri, Pacific road. about five miles from
Pleasant Hill. The train at the time was rum

the wind caught it in the center. leaving the
engine and eight cars safely on the rails. The
two next cars were lifted from the track.
but not injured, while the remaining ten and
caboose were overturned and wrecked and
tore and twisted into all sorts of shapes. Four
OF these cars were loaded with cattle and
1hogs, three with gravel ballast and three with
18eneral merchandise
Rthe caboose was Christopher Koeger the
conductor; ]. II. Tuckman, a stockman from
Dunlap. Kan. and John Duncan, Jack Nc
Carly and w. Vaught. brakemen. Koeger,
the conductor, was cut about the head and
bruised on both legs. and all the occupants of
the caboose were shaken up and tumbled
about, as after leaving the rails the car was
dragged along over the ties hundred feet or
more. The cattle cars were so badly wrecked
that many animals were killed while many
moreescaped and are still roaming about the
county,. ,
From the country about Pleasant Hill come
reports of the wind, and in the Plum Grove
district, three miles southeast. the school
house and church were unroofed. At Stras-
burg and Kngsville several small wooden
houses were blown down and considerable
fencing was destroyed. but aside from the
losses to the railway few interests suffered.

suited from the wind, but the rain which fol-
lowed was more disastrous North OF the
town considerable stock was drosned, and |

A queer building is in process OF

The walls will be of plate glass, aud
there will b very little material in the

used for offices, and it is calculated
that rs per cent of tho entire space

An Eskimo Illumination.

L%ieutenent Schwatka says in st.
Nicholas: The first snow of the win
ter does not make good strong snow
blocks for the igloos, however deep it
may fall, and from the time there is
enough Of it, the Eskimo often have
20 wait three or four weeks before it is
1T for building. AS it gets too cold in
their summer sealskin tents before
this time comes, the natives generally
build preliminary houses of ice. which
singular as it may seem. are much
warmer than the tents. but not as
comfortable as the houses Of snow.
When the ice has formed 10 about six
inches in thickness on some lake close
by. they cut out their big slabs of ice
for the sides of the house. Imagine
AT ordlnarv-SiZed house-door to be a
slab of ice about six inches thick; then
take 4 half-doZen OF these doors. and
and then place them in a circle. ioin-
Ing them edge to edge. bat leaning
in slightly. and you will have
formed your curious house Of ice.
Over this circular pen of ice-which
you can initiate on small scale with
a circular row OF upright dominoes on
their ends and Joined edge to edge
the summer sealskin tent is dashed
across poles for a roof, and the ice
house is complete. By and by. this
roof, sagging with snow. may be taker
off and a dome of snow put on, which
gives more height and consequently
more comfort.
Before these houses get covered in
side with the black SCOT from IL,
burning lamps. and before the snov
outside has drifted ND level with the
roof, a night scene in Il village of ice
and especially if the village be a larg'
one and all the lamps be'burning brill
iantlv, $ one OF the prett!est views

If you could behold village Of cabin

It might represent N Eskimo ice vi

A Noted Duelist.

Baron de Seu Malta, a Sicllian and a
noted duellist, has fought forty duels,
but in none Of them has he been the
challenger. 1t is told of him that dur
ing aheated political canvass, ID the
course of a discussion in a public
square with a first cousin, the latter
called him by some opprobious epithet
The baron replied
you are a coward"
The cousin answered.
"Will you repeat that in five min
utes:"
"Assuredly."
The cousin went home and returned
with a revolver in his hand. The bar
on went up to him and said,-
"Guiseppe, see here! That revolver
don't suit your hand; the stock was
never made for you; for the life Of you,
you could not use the pistol"
AS he ceased to speak he spit in his
cousins face. The suddenness and
strangeness of his speech and attack
bewildered the cousin that he neither
said nor did anything. The baron
spit in his face again. Friends inter
feered. The cousin challenged the baron
On the eve of the duel, the baron's
aunt, who knew what an expert
swordsman he was, begged him to
spare her sons life. He Replied
Giuseppe shall return from the
field without even a scratch"
The duel took place. The cousin
attacked furiously. The baron only
parted. At last he turned his head
and looked at his seconds, until his
adversary became so weak that he
could no longer hold his sword, when
the seconds interfered and ended the
duel. At an other time he was chal-
lenged by the best broad-swordsman in
Sicily. while he himself was not skill
full with his weapon. The broad
sword was selected by the seconds.
On the field the baron took his sword
in both hands and rushed upon his ad.
versary, using the weapon as if il
were a club. His adversary retreated.
They were put in positions again
The baron disarmed his adversary
y third time they were put in posi-
ton; at the first pass the baron's SWORD
broke within eight inches of the hilt
