Effects of the Summer Tornado.
1t will be remembered that the line
of the tornado which passed over this
place on June was from west to east,
and that it was particularly severe on
the hills west of this place. William
Clement, whose farm lies two miles
to the southwest of this village, has
been cleaning up after the storm the
present fall, and the net result of the
windstorm in his wood lot gives him
400 mill logs and 800 cords of stove
wood from the fallen trees. Two hun
dred rods of fence were blown down
and one barn somewhat damaged. His
house and other buildings were not in
jured. When it is considered that this
was the damage on one farm only, and
that the track of the tornado was over
90 miles long, it will be seen that the
aggregate loss was large but no per-
son was killed and only one or two
slightly injured.

writes of her expel fences in the very

the country. The rivers abound in
excellent fish, the Indians doing most
of the fishing. Mrs. Houghton saw in
the Snohomish market a salmon that
weighed 35 pounds caught in these
waters, and the dealer told her that lie
had one the day before that weighed
80 pounds. Trout also are very album

TOP kA LITTLENESS.

| Topeka is the capital of very grand
enterprising towns and cities of broad
gauge and liberal people, but Topeka
herself, which ought to be representative
and typical, contains some very small
minds among her foremost citizens.
The Santa Fe railroad management de
sired to show the grand representatives
to the Grand Lodge of l. 0. o. F. of the
United States the two biggest and best
towns in the state. To include Wichita
it was necessary to haul three heavy
trains of sleepers containing a thousand
people thirty miles out of their direct
line. These honored and distinguished
excurtionists reached Topeka first,
where they were compelled to hear
many uncomplimentary things of
Wichita. One group of these gentlemen
and ladies We're told that no arrange
ments had been made at Wichita to re-
ceive and entertain them, and that the
only money put up was by
the mayor as an individual to meet the
expenses. Another group were asked
with a sheer why they were going to
lose whole day to see town of empty
houses. Another group were assured
that Wichita was only crude border
town and not worth thirty miles ride,
much less the time and attention of such
a great number of people.
Now we don't say, nor do we believe,
a
and criticisms were made by the con-
sent of the better people of Topeka, but
we don't want any tearing of tatters and
indignant ''no-such-things" from the To-
pel1a papels, for we are prepared to fur
niSh the names Of responsible men who
viii make affirmation that different
members of the excursion told them that
they We're made the victims of the talks
quoted above, and by Topeka people.

SALT AND SALT.

We received yesterday box Of crude
salt taken from one Of the new borings
at Anthony. 1t is sure enough salt. 1t
looks as if Kingman and Anthony were
going to be one the Syracuse and the
the other the Saginaw Of Kansas. Some
day Wichita, which really struck the
first salt ever struck in this valley, will
turn her attention to the salt business,
and if she does she will become both the
Syracuse and Saginaw of Kansas, with
the permission, of course, of our friends
at Anthony, Kingman, Hutchinson and
Sterling. Speaking OF salt, if our friends
will turn to an editorial in the EAGLE,
published when the first find was made
at Ellsworth, they will see that we then
said that a great belt running entirely
across central Kensas from the Saline to
the territorial line was underlaid with a
vast salt deposit.

PLUMB AND PETERS.
The Grand Rally Of the Campaign IN
Wichita Sept. 21st.-Afternoon
and Evening.

ARRANGEMENTS have been definitely
made for Senator Plumb and Congress
man Peters to address the people OF
southwestern Kansas on political issues
at Wichita, Friday, September 2lsr,
afternoon and evening. Owing to the
fact that these gentlemen are compelled
to be in Washington during the greater
part of the campaign it is desired that
they meet as many of the people on that
day as possible.
1t is expected that this meeting will
be the grand demonstration of the cam
paign.
Arrangements are being made for ex-
cursion rates on all railroads leading to
the city to enable everybody to come. 1t
is desired that local committees at the
several points in the southwest take the
matter in hand, advertise the meeting
and secure as large an attendance as
possible. The Wellington glee club, the
best organization of the kind in the
country, is expected to be present and
the people. The Wichita artil-
lery company will turn loose their guns,
and altogether the occasion will be one
long to be remembered.

Democratic nominations for congress
come higher in Missouri than they do in
Kentucky. In the latter state a dead
lock between candidates is broken and

In the Seventh Missouri district last week

failing each to down the other finally put
up thousand dollars side and gambled
to decide which should take the nomina-
ton, the other to take the pot. The win
ner should be repudiated by the voters of

will not.

that they are now appearing IN many

Queretaro is on the Mexican Central
railroad, and a local newspaper, investi-
eating the mosquito center, located it
in carload of pineapples. The pests. in
fact, had come in by rail, a not unprece-
dented thing for them TO do in other
parts of the world. In the eastern states
mosquitoes have followed lines of rail-
road from the Jersey marshes and ap-
peared in places where they had never
before been known. They entered the
cars at pleasure, and got off wherever
they thought the feeding might be good.

meets at Dallas, Texas, some time in
October to memorabilia congress in the

Mr.. Cleveland, in his letter of accept.
ance, speaks shghtingly of our home
market. He says, confined to our
home market our manufacturing oper-
ations are curtailed, their demand for
labor irregular and the rate Of wages
paid uncertain" and yet, almost in the
same breath he demands that the pol
icy of protecting our home market and
building it up for the benefit of our own
people be discontinued, which cannot
fail to cause the demand for home la
Dor to become more irregular and the
rate of wages paid become more uncer-
tain. Such sophistry is an insult to the
intelligence of the laboring people of
this country who have learned from ex-
perience that raotection has extended
our manufacturing operations thou

ment. better wages and more certain pay
than has been enjoyed at any other

political party as its candidate for the

letter as it appears is but a rehash of his

THE VOICE OF THE NATION.
tarkl tits the rising echo

Harkl tits the rising echo
OF million voices as one,
That sweeps through our broad republic
Like the roar of mufaed gun.
1t rises at the broad Atlantic
And sweeps to the rocky west,
Then retreats with thunderous echo
To the heaving CULTS dark breast.
But here not moment it fingers;
10 the north it speeds away,
For it is the rallying summons
VI the people to save the day.
IT'S the summons to be up and doing,
The iron bands of defence to weld:
IT'S the summons for the grandest struggle
That our nation has ever beheld.
IT'S the call for thousand speeches
That shall burn with a living fame;
Ills the call for a million voters
To stand by their chosen's name
To stand by the rock Of defence,
The flag of defence to wave;
70 ride in the chariot of victory,
And their nation from ruin to save
Ho no. We million of voters!
Ho! no! we thousands strong!
Let Harrison be your campaign cry
And victory be your song.
Let not your standard idly droop,
Your ensign idly fly,
But carry it proudly to the front,
And shout your campaign cry.
Meet face to face your rallying foe
In city, county and state.
And literally contest in the struggle grand
For the prize of 49,"
