CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
Some Incidents Witnessed by an In

Some Incidents Witnessed by an Inde-
pendent Reporter.
It is shocking to note how much brutal
ity there is in the treatment of dumb ami
mails. Almost any day one who is about
town much may see horses beaten for
trifling offenses, or, perhaps for no reason
at all except to- exercise the ill-nature or
anger of the driver, or because the load ia
more than the animals can pull. In two
instances recently, horses haye almost in
stantly died from blows given; in one case
the horse was hauling load on the streets
and was hit on the head with shovel; in
the other, the horse was struck because
balky on the first attempt to drive in har-
ness. SE s4
There is evidently plenty of work for the
new society for Prevention OF Crueley,' .
and its hearty support and rapid increase
give hope that such inhumahity will soon
meet it's proper penalty. .
The inmates of certain house use all
stray cats which walk about in the vicinity
as targets. If they accidentally hit q vital
spot the cat dies but if the blunderinQ aim
breaks backbone or takes out an eve the
harmless sufferer crawls out of sight and
means in pain till some humane neiehbor
ends its life or it dies of starvation.

thing of an Elopement
CHICAGO, June 21.-[Special.l Twill E.
Kraemer, of Butte, and Sallie X. White of
Louisville, KY, were married in this city
yesterday. The affair was somewhat in the
nature of an elopement. Kraemer had
courted Miss White in Kentucky, but her
parents forbade him the house. White and
family started from Louisville few DAYS
ago to spend the summer at Gogebic.
Kraemer. being apprised of their coming
was in Chicago when the Whites arrived
here. The latter put up at tho Sherman
house. where, during the absence of the
father, young Kraemer came for Miss Sallie
and procuring a marriage license at the
court houss across the street took her to a
justice of the peace, who made them hus-
band and wife. They then returned to the
hotel and explained the situation to the
father of the bride. MIR. White was taken
much aback and at first was disposed to
anger. but decided to make the best of the
situation and promised to send the brides
trunks to her from Gogebec. Kraemer and
bride went on the night train to st. Paul.
Kraemer is in the railway employ at Butte.

CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES.

The Union Pacific Makes q Reduction OF
rs Per Cent.
OMAHA, June 21.-[Special. Vice -Presi-
dent Holoomb has issued an order for a
general reduction of % per cent in the ex-
penses of the machinery and mechanical
department of the Union Pacific railroad.
In explanation of this action MIR. Middleton
says that the work il very light, because
business has been reduced to a minimum.
and there is no excuse for keeping expenses
up when there is hardly anything doing. 1t
has been decided to limit the working days
to eight hours. The reduction ordered can
not be met by simply shortening the work
ing day, consequently the force is to be re-
duced about s per cent. This means that
from fifty to sixty men will be laid off from
the shop force in this city; also, a proper
tlonate number of the forces at Armstrong,
Denver, Salt Lake City, Portland and other
places.

Over the Falls.

o'clock this morning q pleasure boat was
discovered floating down the upper river.
just as it reached G point opposite the
third Sister island it lurched to one side,
and people who were Watching through
glasses are positive that one or more per-
sons were lying at the bottom. II con-
tinued on its way through the upper rapids
and made an awful plunge over Horseshoe
falls without any stir being made on board.
It seems probable that ono or two lives
were lost. This is the second boat that has
made the leap over the cataract this week.

BUYING BURLINGTON STOCK.
President Hill. of the Great Northern
Arranging for Through Line,

President Hill. of the Great Northern,
Arranging for Through Line.
ST. PAUL, June 2l.-LSpecial. Though
President Hill, of the Great Northern, has
repeatedly denied it, there is reason to be-
lieve that he and his friends are quietly
purchasing Burlington and Northern stock.
The object in acquiring possession of the
stock is to be in position the moment he
has completed the Pacific coast extension
to open a through line from Chicago to
North Pacific coast points. He will be
forced to do this by reason of the alliance
between the Union Pacific and North
western and between the Northern
Pacific and Wisconsin Central. The
Northern Pacific not being able to
get adequate service from the Wis
consin Central, also entered into contract
with the Milwaukee a nd st. Paul for
through car service. This will leave
the Great Northern only the Burlington
and Kansas City roads. The latter cannot
make time, and consequently the Great
Northern will be forced to tie up with the
Burlington. This road has what Is gen.
orally conceded to be the best built road
between st. Paul and Chicago, and with it
the Great Northern would certainly have
the shortest line from Chicago to the Pa
cific coast. A prominent official identified
with the Great Northern said to-day that
he had it straight from parties in position
to know that Hill had already secured the
control of 30 per cent of the stock. The
fact that the company has permitted Vice
President Harris and General Freight Agent
Hamblin to enter the service of the 90" ia
an indication that change in ownership is
likely to occur.

Of taking names. He was offered $3.50 Per

Terrible Work of Al Cyclone In an Illinois
Community.

Terrible Work of Al Cyclone In an Illinois
@ Community.
AMBoY. ILL.,, June Y.-1he little village of
Pawpaw was visited by a terrible and fatal
CYCLONE yesterday evening. Tho first notice
of its coming was dark cloud in the south
west. Before warning could be given a
great portion of the southern part of the
village was in ruins. Nearly score of the
inhabitants are dead and dying. Tre-
mendous rain preceded tho cyclone and the
streets were flooded and creeks overflowing.
During tho heaviest of the rain an ominoas
looking cloud passed just south of Amboy,
and the awful roar it made could be dis
tinctly heard above the rumbling Of
the thunder. 1t had no sooner
passed than it was observed thst leaves,
sticks, straws, etc., were falling from the
clouds. Soon after a messenger on horse
back brought the news that tho cyclone had
passed mile south Of the village. Relief
parties Immediately nHado their way to the
scene. Trees were uprooted. houses and
sides. Fourteen we're killed and many in.
jured. Within two miles of this place the
cyclone cut distinct swath of a mile long
through q grove. II first demolished James
Is. Lees large house and barn and the fam
lily went into the cillar and escaped with
severe bruises. With increased fury the
cloud came upon Hunt schoolhouse, two
miles south. The teacher, Maggie Nc
Bride. Of. Amboy, and eight pupils were
waiting III tho building for the
storm to abato. Every vestige of the
building was wiped ont. Even the stones
of the foundation we're moved. Not one
soul in the building escaped death. An OBJ
server says the building was raised in per-
feet shape three hundred feet in the air,
when it went into fragments and was lost
sight of. The body of the teacher was found
in the street partially nude and badly
bruised. The pupils we're found in tho
creek some distance north.
Reports from surrounding towns show
that tho storm started at Harmon, in Lee
county, and proceeded to Sublet. Compton
and Pawpaw. A great many were seriously
injured, but being distributed over a dis
tance of thirty miles cannot be reached.
Thirteen are known to be dead. mostly
children. The school house in Brooklyn
township, south, was completely demolish-
ed, the teachers and scholars injured, two
of tho children meeting death. Loss 80 far

APPROVED THE COMPACT.

The Anglo Russian Agreement Very Satis-

BERLIN, June 21.-During the prolonged
sitting of the Bundesrath chance occurred
for Caprivc to explain the aims of the gov
ernment in concluding the Anglo German
Rreement relative to African territory. He
dwelt on the immense Importance of the
strategic value fHeligoland and recalled the
fact that during the war of 10 it was neces-
sary to detach large force to guard against
a possible French landing at the mouth
of ssthe Wehr and Elbe rivers and to lay
submarine mines to protect the water ap-
proaches to Hamburg and Bremen. He
produced an opinion from Won Moltke
that Heligoland could be SO ortifed
that it would be equivalent to large in
crease in the German army in the event of
war. The bundesrath unanimously ap-
proved the compact and congratulated the
emperor and chancellor. The report that
England spontaneously offered to cede the
island is In direct variance with all reports
here. The opinion of the people of the
island does not count with either govern
ment. Both know the inhabitants are op-
posed to annexation to Germany, but on
account of the dread of military service
and the customs and regulations, Germany

20 years. Leading Hamburg journals re-
gret the granting to England of a protec-
torate over Zanzibar, because it will place
the whole trade in the hands of the English
East African company. Major Wissmann
has telegraphed similar views. All declare,
however, that the acquisition of Heligoland
balances losses elsewhere. The National
Zeitung reminds malcontents that most of
the region conceded to England never be-
longed to Germany.
An ominous note was presented to-day to
the porte by Russian Ambassador Nelidoff.
1t suggests the intention of the czar to act
lively interfere in the Balkans. The note
declines the request that the Russians
wait until November for the payment
of the war indemnity by Turkey
and demands immediate payment. The
note declares that in the event of refusal
Russia reserves the right of taking all nee
essary measures to compel payment. Yes
terday the Bulgarian envoy presented to
the porte note from Stambouloff de-
manding an extension of religious liberty
to Bulgarians in Turkey, and also the
recognition of the Bulgarian government,
Stamboulod is acting in concert with Rus
sia without regard to the personal interests
of Prince Ferdinand. and it Is expected his
action will develop a proclamation of the
Independence of Bulgaria under prince

graphs are under government censorship il

feeling is that the government is daily be-
coming heavier and II is almost GER
tain that within year Diax will
proclaim himself dictator. Only revolu-
tion can prevent such . disaster to the
republic. This may come quickly if the
movement in GuanajQako shows the
strength expected of it. lf it be put down
successfully by the government then the
day of general resistanoe will be postponed.
