specting the recent cyclone. one Which

her life in the cyclone which struck
that CITY. Sunday afternoon she was
recounting her experience to several
friends at the house she was visiting,
concluding with the expression: Il am

YOU so rarely have such thing as cy-

President Stickney, of the Kansas City
road, has not yet returned from the
East. When he does, the changes con
templated in the official roster OF the
