A strange atmospheric phenomena
was witnessed at Maze, west of Wich-
tia, Kan, Sunday. A storm cloud burst
and extended over a space, a paralello-
gram in form, about 500 yards wide
and one mile in length. For half All
hour the rain came down in torrents,
the heavens were black and darkness
almost equal to that of night, covering
the entire area. People ran frightened
from their homes, many crying hat the
end of the world had come. Maze is
situated on the south bank of the
Arkansas river, and the streets were
turned into rivers which fortunately
found outlets in the Arkansas. An eye
witness describes the rain as coming
down in torrents, washing away a
number of houses and moving others
from their foundations. The water
from the cloud seemed to come straight
down. The amount of damage will be
large. A great many head of horses
and cattle were drowned.

THE MAMMOTH FOURTH OF JULY
CELEBRATION.

1t has been Il long time since Licking

July celebration, and it is proposed
this year to present to the general pub

never before been had here and that
will render the Fourth of 'SS a memora-
BILE day for years to come. Our older
citizens can remember when that day
was marked with more distinguishing
features than any other holiday of the
year. 1t is right that it should be thus ;
the occasion concentrated is one that
appeals to every heart, and the season
OF the year that attends It is one that
offers every opportunity for outdoor
display and enjoyment our other hOli-

stage but in the right hands and pro-
per committees will have charge of the

was determined the audience shouldn T.
have too violent stretch of imagination
II he coald help it. On his second
entrance it was apparent he had made a
discovery. In the recesses OF the property
room he had found Roman shield. He
strobe in triumphantly waving the shield
and he clun0 to it like shipwrecked sal
lor to plank. True, 1t was old and bat
tered, but a veteran warriors shield 10 sup
posed to have seen service, and aside from
the Roman nose Of Marcus, it was the one
link that connected this modern-dressed
virginius with the play that Sheridan
knowles created.
Servia was ind matronly looking lady
as Servia should be-, and the absence Of the
toga did not destroy the illusion. OF
course the audience could find pleasant
study for the eye in the variety OF cos.
tunes. Sack coats, excursion trousers,
Piccadilly collars and patent leather
pumps were visible, but the cos.
tunes were as nothing TO the makeup Of
the hair of the Roman Decemvirs and
warriors-hair banged, hair black and
hair white, aud in some instances very lit
tie hair at all. But the company, despite
these little Incidents al bore themselves
bravely and gave conscientious rendering
to every line.
However something was amiss. At
first this was apparent, but as the play
progressed it was noticed the audience
seemed 10 hunger. The noble Roman
army was not there. The super captain
had been busy for several days marshallinR

this on an audience already much afflicted.
We will not have any Lictors or Decem-
