Heavy showers fell yesterday af-
ternoon and last night, moistening
the ground in a manner delighting to
everyone. Foliage Immediately took
on deeper hue, and the languishing
grain sprang up. A much longer de-
lay in the rain would have been dis
astrous to the farming interests. In
this section. however, rain has the
cheerful habit of coming when most
needed.
Mr.. William Kienholz, of Amboy,
came to MankatO this morning and
put up at the Clifton House As he
alighted from the buggy he felt his
pocket or bill book which he carried
on the inside pocket of his coat and
in which he had S120 or Whereabouts
in money and five promissory notes
running to himself and KienholZ s.
Co. to the amount of $500. After
wards. and while at the Omaha depot,
he missed his book and money. In
some way unaccountablet to Mr.. K the
book worked out of his pocket and was
lost on the street. A liberal reward
will be paid to any one returning the
lost property to Clifton House. Mr..
Kienholz is proprietor of a harness
shop at Amboy, and is a worthy young
man. 1t is hoped that his money NAV
fall into the hands of some honest in
dividual who will return it to its
owner.
P. S.-As we go to press we learn
that Mr. F. J. Grout found the money
on the Omaha railroad track and re-
turned it forthwith to the owner. He
also refused to accept any reward.
This act of honesty on the part of Mr.
Grout shows his true nature and
proves his well earned reputation. 1t
is fortunate for Mr.. Kienholz that
his valuable fell into such hands.

City Destroyed.

Mr.. r. D. Hubbard, the principal
owner of the large and magnificent
Linseed OilMill at Sioux City. received
a telegram from Mr..Greer Wednesday
morning stating that the mill burned
during last night, which will involve
a loss of 100000. No particulars
are given other than that the main
building press room and pumps were
consumed. The elevator, engine
room and oil tanks, the latter contain
ing over 100000 gallons of oil, were
saved. Just what the amount of in
surance on the destroyed property. is,
Mr.. Hubbard is unable to state.s as
the policies are all carried in Chicago,

be great above insurance, other than
the stoppage of the business Dir.

the situation. No time will be lost

laid beside the two dead men, stretched on
the sidewalk across the way.
just as q policeman had spread rubber
coat over the little corpse, hatleSs man,
with pallid face and bloodshot ewes, pushed
his way through the crowd. He snatched
the cover from the corpse, and with an
agonizing sob sank TO his knees over the
child. Again and again he passionately
kissed the cold lips OF the dead child. The

According TO the best information OBJ tain
able 1t was estimated on the second day after
the accident that the total number OF killed
would be more than hundred. Up TO mid-
night of the following day eighteen oiies
had been recovered from the ruins The

Marshal Short, Who is Also Dead.
Charles Bryant, one of the noted Dalton
gang Of train robbers, who was captured the
other day in the Cherokee Strip by Deputy
United States Marshal Ed. Short, was shot
and killed by his captor after he had fatally
wounded Short. The duel occurred on a
Rock Island train, on which Short had placed
his prisoner, intending 10 take him
to Wichita, Kan. He placed Bryant in the
baggage car, going outside to guard against
sny attempt at rescue. He left a revolver
with the baggageman for protection. The
baggageman laid the revolver down and
Bryant soon secured it.
AS the train was slowing up at a station
he opened the door of the car and immeGi-
ately began firing at Short, who was on the
platform, bullet going through Shorts
body. Short returned the fire and gave
Bryant a death wound. Short was
also MORALLY wounded, but both men
kept on firing until their weap-
ons were emptied. Bryant was the
first man to drop, ana he fell head foremost
down the steps. Short caught him by the
leg and held him with his head almost to lch-
ing the ground. He called to the conductor,
and when he got to him, he said:
81 have got him. Jim, and he has got me-"
The prisoner was dead when picked up, and
Short died in ten minutes.
