THE JOHNS1U WN HORROR.

The most terrible calamity in the his
tory Of the United States occurred at
Johnstown, Pennsylvania. and several
adjoining towns, last Friday, May 31st,
commencing at O'Clock, p. rn., when
not less than 5000 persons were burned,
drowned or killed. Johnstown is at
the junction of Stony creek and the Con-
emaugh river. The place was settled
in 1871 by a German named Joseph
Johns. The country around Johnstown
is wonderfully rich in minerals, coal.
iron, fire-clay and cement being found
in abundance, The development of
these resources has caused rapid
growth of the town, and the erection of
the largest iron works in America.
These belonged to the Cambria Iron Co.,
engaged principally in the manufacture
of steel and iron rails. It's works COW
cred vast area and were constructed
in the best possible manner. In addi-
ton to the Cambria iron works, Johns
town had steam tanneries, wooden
! mills, tire-brick works and shook fac
factories. Merchandising and the me-
chanlcal trades were in a flourishing
condition. There were half a dozen
private and national banks, several
handsome church edifces, public II
0rary and good public schools. an opera
house, large public hall and a number
of good hotels. 1t is i'm Cambria coup-
ty, on the Pittsburg division of the
pennsylvania railroad, rs miles from
Pittsburg and 80 miles from Altoona.
1t had population of $4,000, and in
Guiding the DorOughs of Cambria. Cone
maugh and Woodvale, a population of
2l,574, and it is just east of Johns
town, and Conemaugh JOINS it at
a distance four miles east from Johns
town.
Mineral Point, seven miles east of
Johnstown, had population of 200.
South Fork, 10 miles east, had popu-
lation of $50. Here was population of
| 25,30i within a distance of 10 miles of
the fated city-beyond that, for seven
or eight miles, there were small ham,
lets and villages containing. perhaps
5000 more people.
Located above the town about u
miles was an immense reservoir. OF
lake, several miles long, 1000 feet wide
at its mouth with depth OF from so t.
100 feet. In this had accumulated mil
lions of gallons of water. The lake
emptied into the Conemaugh liver. Fol
several days heavy rains had been fall
ing in the Allegheny. mountains and al
streams were swollen. Thursday night
regular flood occurred and filed the
! Couemaugh river and the lake. The
lake dam showed signs of weakening
early Friday, and all the towns below
were warned of Che impending danger
Many people fed to the high lands bu
the large majority decided that ther,
was no danger and refused to leave
their homes.
The dam broke and the ao0d rushed
down and drowned thousands of peopi,
/ swept away every house in Johnstowl
! but three or four, destroyed the i'm.

Assessment Returns.

Accompanying will be found tabu-
lar statement of the assessors returns
of property subject to taxation, for the
year 1889. Real estate was assessed
last year, and the same values will hold
until next year. Personal property is
assessed annually. Considering the
fact that the last two seasons have been
very untavorable all over Kansas. it is
surprising that the taxable personal
property has only decreased So. 900. In
many counties around us. and out west.
the decrease in personal property has
been fully fifty per cent. Our decrease
in personal property has not equalled
six per cent.
But it is an outrage that tax-dodging
is permitted to exist to the extent thai
it does IN this county. Only 81, 535 in
mortgages taxed in this city only $3.50
in notes only 1855 in judgments; no
stock in corporations only pianos
only 20 gold watches, at an average
value of $3.50; only 2 hogs assessed
only 6 mules in the town, according to
the assessment; only 81 cattle of all
kinds; and last and worst, only s.. 1855
in cash in the city There is S175. 5000
in cash on deposit in the two banks.

Harper is very much put out because
a special attorney has been appointed
to prosecute alleged vioIators of the
prohlbitory law there not, perhaps, so
much on account of the appointment as
on account of the publicity that has
been given to it. The newspapers over
the entire state are now talking about
Harper being such a sinful and law
breaking place that the ordinary ma
chinery of the law is insufficient to con-
troll it, and that special attorney has
been employed to assist in the purifca-
tion. 1t is not profitable for city to
be known as wicked place where the
law is not respected.

mense iron works, derailed and washed
away two loaded passenger trains, sew
eral freight trains and actually turned
locomotive engines on their sides and
buried them in debris.
But even this was not the most hor-
rible: Hundreds of frame houses. lum-
Der, logs, bridges and other combusti-
bles were piled in great mass fifty feet
high against heavy stone bridge and
this mass caught fire. Hundreds of
people were burned to death or suffoca-
ted i'll this fire. The people chung to
their houses only to be crushed or burn
ed to death.
The reports published are the most
sickening and soul-harrowing. The
villages of South Fork, Mineral Point.
Woodyale and the city of Johnstown
were literally swept from the face of
the earth. 1t will nde be known for
weeks the number that persisted; but
the latest reports put the number at
not less than 5000 people.
The estimated damage is placed at
Sl5,000,000!
No such destruction of life and prop
erty ever before occurred on the Ameri-
can continent; nothing like it ever oc-
Cured in Europe so far as history has
recorded. The floods of China may
have equaled it. but we doubt it.
The PEOPLE drowned or burned were
principally the families of the working
men; but the floods made showed no
respect for rank, station or wealth, but
swept everyone before it as if they
were but chaff

1t IS claimed that iron banks have
been discovered four miles southwest of
Guthrie, Oklahoma. But what of it T?
The iron interests of this country are
absolutely owned and controlled by pro-
tected trusts. There are billions of
tons of pure iron ore all oyer southeast
Missouri that have never been touched;
there are banks and mountains once
worked where the machinery is idle,
because the trusts have willed that the
output shall be so much and no more.
Though Oklahoma may find acres of
iron ore. 1t will not be worth as much

1t appears probable that the murder
ers of DR.. Cronin, in Chicago, will be
apprehended. Three arrests have been
made, one party, Detective Coughlin,
another prominent ice man, another a
thug who helped hide the body. The
two first mentioned are Clan-na- Gael
men, and it was the representatives of
that body who murdered Cronin. He
had secured evidence of vast frauds in
that society, in fact had discovered that
the funds raised for suffering Ireland
were used in behalf of the republican
party last fall. He claims that $50, 600
was diverted from its intended purpose
and spent under the direction of Mr..
Blaine and his cohorts.
