\ Terrifying Storm Cloud.

WICHITA. Kans., May Ga most
startling atmospheric phenomenon was
witnessed at Maize, west of this city to-day
and reported here this evening. A storm
cloud burst in the vicinity and extended
over a space, parallelogram in form, about
500 feet wide ard mile in length Tor half
an hour. The rain came down in torrents.
The heavens were black, and darkness
almost equal to that Of night covered the
entire area. People ran frightened from
their homes, many crying that the end of
the world had come. The utmost terror
seized both men and beasts. Many horses
and cattle ran from the line of the cloud
and have not yet been recovered. The
cloud could he seen for miles, and in the
clear sky looked like an immense roll of
blacs. Within the area covered by the
cloud much damage was done I" the grow
ing crops, houses and farm implements.
Maize is situated on the south bank of
the Arkansas river, and after the cloud
burst the streets were turned into rivers,
which fortunately found an immediate
outlet into the same. A house in which n
family named Rockby lived WAS picked up
by the floods and carried into the AIkan-
sas, where it sank, drowning Rockby, his
wife and two children. The bodies OF the
Rockby family have not yet bean recovered,
and probably never will, as u body once In
the Arkansas is seldom If ever recovered, as
the clothing is soon hlled with the rapidly
drifting lsand. a number of miraculous
escapes are reported.

How II Works.

In answer to many inquiries regarding
the permanency of cures wrought by ST.
Jacobs Oil to which public attention has
been specifically called In many varied
forms, the following serves as a most ex-
cellent example of how the great remedy
performs its miracles and what is meant by
4 permanent cure. Hundreds have testified
to the same effect. Mr.. j. L. Bonsall
Prothonotary, New Bloomgeid, Perry Co,
Pa, in 1881, was permanently cured OF
rheumatism. From the age of Is TO As
about 80 years, he had suffered acutely al
Gimes from that dread disease and at the
.ta!e specified, he was permanently cured
by St Jacobs Oil. In proof of this, he
writes in 1886 that he had no recurrence of
rheumatic pains since his relief in ISL
Again i'll April, 1SSS, he writes as follows: !:
My health continues good; no return of
rheumatism since 1881 when cured by St.

The Wheat Crop.

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-The report
of the Department of Agriculture says the
low temperature and deficient rainfalls,
with drying winds and some freezes have
reduced the condition of winter wheat in
the Central States. On the Atlantic coast
the plant has nearly held its own; on the
Pacific coast only medium development
is reported, while in the Southern States
the changes are slight. Pennsylvania shows
a decline Of points, New York 16, Ohio Il,
Michigan Il, Indiana 8, Illinois I, Missouri
9 and Kansas 8. The general average is Ie-
duced nine points, from SO to 73.
Winter rye remains very nearly as in
April, the average being 92.9 instead of
935
The condition of winter barley is Ss3
promising medium crop.
Spring seeding has not advanced as well
as usual, cotton seeding being especially
late.

BLACK JACKS WIDOW.
Mrs. Logan rendered Remark
able Reception by Politicians
and Soldiers.


CHICAGO, June 1s.-One of the pleas
ATTEST incidents of the day, and one that
attracted great attention on all sides,
was remarkable ovation to Mrs. John
A. Logan. The femous generals widow
paid visit to the wife of Stephen b.
Elkins. at the rooms of the latter's hus-
bano at the Grand Pacific hotel, and 1t
was there that what proved to be
levee which a queen might have been
proud of began. The news that Mrs.
Logan was at Elkins' rooms spread
quickly, and the lady in few moments
found herself surrounded by a number
of such distinguished leaders as Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew, Thomas j. Platt, Frank
Hiscock, B. F. Jones, Joseph ii. Manley
and j. S. ClarksOn. waiting to 90 ner
honor. The long procession that 1ole
lowed included Gen. Green b.. haum, OF
Kentucky: John V. Farwell, OF Chi
cago: ATTORNEY General Machener, of In
diana: United States Senators Aldrlch,
and Hale; G. A. Hobart, of New Jersey;
Samuel Fessenden, of Connectlcut;
Walker and Emmons Blaine: Richard
Kerens, of st. Louis, and Col. Crocker,
of San Francisco. The imprOmptu re-
ception over, Mr.. and Mrs: Elkins
started to accompany Mrs. Logan to
dinner. The moment that the trio
emerged from Mr.. Elkins' apartments,
and Mrs. Logan was recognized, poll
ticians of every degree and
HUNDREDS OF OLD SOLDIERS
pressed forward to obtain word, or
look, or hand-shake from the lady who
was so familiar to them all. AS dis
play of enthusiasm and sympathy, the
result was unrivaled in the many
stirring outbursts that are preceding
required fully an hour for Mrs. Logan,
aided by the strong arm and herculean
presence of Elkins, to push a passage
through the eager throng into the dim
ing hall. The remarkable outburst was
repeated when the party attempted to
return to the Elkins apartments. A
detour and passage through the upper
halls of the hotel was the only means OF
getting away from the excited, cheering
crowds.

body is ratified. Amid so much
noise and confusion and dis
comfort, a man couldn't think
if he wanted to. The day has
been hot and sultrY, and our Minnesota
people, who have always been accus-
toned to cool breeZes and an exhilirat-
ing atmosphere, have sweltered all day
under the torrid conditions of a Chicago
summer climate. They have laid around
all day in their shirt sleeves, seeking
the coolest hooks and corners of the
hotel corridors, painting for breath. 1t
was not until late hour this afternoon
that they could summon energy enough
to meet in caucus for the purpose of per-
fecting an organization, and the caucus
was lazy sort of an affair. Realizing
that
DEFEAT WAS INEVITABLE,
at the last moment Mr.. Davis with
drew from the contest for chairman,
and on his motion Senator O'Brien was
elected by acclamation. Likewise,
realizing that his cake was all dough in
the contest for member of the national
committee, Senator Langdon agreed to
limit his ambition to an appoint
ment on the committee on noti-
fication, and let Bob Evans walk
off with the prize. Mr.. Evans was ac-
eordingly reelected by acclamation.

Will go into the convention with over
100 votes pledged for our candidate.
Then we have almost positive assurance
from the delegates of large state that
they will come over to see us after the
first few ballots. If Iowa were doubt
full state, l think there would be no
question of Allison's success. Gresham
has many friends in our delegation, and
he is easily the second choice, so far as
can see. We have not yet considered
our second choice, however, as we think
Allison stands as good chance, if not
better one, than any of the candidates.
Iowa, in any event, is for the nominee.
We will carry the state if the convention
should nominate man from the Flor
