JUST Ike CALAmI.Y KANSAS.


From the Kansas City Star.
Some idea of the extraordinary value
cfthe crops i'll Kansas this year may be
gained from the experience of an Atchl-
son mortgage company. The company
was compelled to take several thousand
acres of land in Rocks, Osburn and other
western counties under foreclosure.
Much of this land was let to tenants on
shares and the result of the late harvest
is a net profit for the company of SD
900 on wheat, rye and oats, with 5000
worth of corn yet to gather. The share
of the tenants is equally as large. The
chmpany still has its lands, and such As
il does not sell will be planted again
next season. In every case the wheat
Weld more than paid for the ground
which produced it, and III many cases a
hundred acres of wheat paid the cost OF
an entire 100 acre tract. Two more
crops like that of 1891 will repay the
company all its investments Including
INTEREST," in the west, and 1t will have It's
lands left.

CARLISLE, Pa, July 24.-This afternoon
fearful wind and thunder storm, ac-
companied by vivid flashes of lightning,
passed over the Cumberland Valley, doing
considerable damage to property and
stock A bolt of lightning struck the shoe
factory in this city and played frightful
freaks with the building and machinery.
The 800 hands employed in the building,
most of them women, were panic-stricken
and rushed for the doors. Several of the
young women were slightly shocked, while
three fell to the floor unconscious. 1t is
thought Misses Spangler and johnson are
fatally injured, as up to this time they
have not recovered consciousness. Six
other young women were seriously in
jured. The lightning crushed and burned
out two shoe machines, besides doing
other injury to the building.

he had helped to found. DR.. Noble

EXILED TO SIBERIA.
A NaturaliZed American Citizen is
Banished to Siberia and His Prop
erty Ordered COnfiseated.

OvKHA, July 24.-According to a letter
received here by Abe Goldstein, well
known citizen, S. Gerber, who has lived in
Omaha for the past five years, has been
exiled to Siberia by the Russian authori-
ties. Gerber went last March to Myszyu-
ca, near the German frontier, his native
town in Poland, for the purpose of return
ing with his family, who had remained in
the old country. His appearance in the
little town excited suspicion and his arri-
val soon reached the ears of the authori-
ties. Fearing arrest, Gerber fed across
the frontier into neighboring province.
The authorities of the German town in
which Gerber had taken refuge turned him
over to the emissaries of the czar, who took
him in charge. He was tried on the
charge of running away to America. Ger
Der claimed to be an American citizen and
showed papers proving that he was a nat
uralized citizen, but in spite of this he was
sentenced to imprisonment at Lomsey, the
capital of the province, and afterward to
be banished to Siberia for five years and
his property to be confiscated. Gerber
had intended to Omaha with his family and
set up in business.
