KYLE is CHOSEN SENATOR.
South Dakota Elects Republican
Preacher.


Preacher.
The Democrats and farmers in South
Dakota are successful. The combination
they mnde resulted in the election of
]. II. Kyle as United States senator from
that state to succeed Senator q. &.
Moody. Kyle's election has been pre-
dicted for several days past, eversince the
caucus of the Republicans failed to elect
a Republican. Kyle is an eX-Congrega
tional preacher, a resident of Aberdeen,
Brown County. He has not followed
his pastoral calling for some time past,
the position of financial agent for the
Congregational college at Tankton offer
ing him greater inducement. He has
an inclination for politics, and is the
present state senator from Brown
County, and is known as an lndepend-
ent. But he is a Republican, and al
though his election was brought about
by a Democratic-Allian combine, his
good fortune will not be Objectionable
to his Republican friends. He is man
of fair ability, and has the gift Of gar
rulity fairly developed. He received
IS votes, IS being necessary to a choice.

n PARIS SENSATION.

A Private Banker Skips with Lots OF
Cash.
A Paris dispatch of the 10th says: GA
decided sensation has been caused in
financial circles here by the disappear
ance of well-known banker, who is
known to have left debts to the amount
of 100000 behind him, and who
NAV have committed suicide. The
bankers name is M. Victor Mace,
and his private bank was located in the
Rue Cadet He seemed to have been
well-known in the world of finance
previous to opening the bank i'll the
Rue Cadet, some five years ago. He
began business there by Offering to pay
high interest for deposits, this interest
in many cases averaging 10 per cent.
monthly or 120 per cent. year.
He sent out pile upon pile of cir
culars in Paris and throughout
the provinces, and fitted up his
offices in elegant style. Every
thing about the establishment seemed
to breathe an air of wealth and refine
ment, luxury and solidity. In addition
M. Mace was a perfect conversatlonalist,
and good Judge of men and women.
His plausible offers, strict punctuality
in fulfilling all business engagements,
and the prompt manner in which he
paid the high interest promised on all
deposits gradually drew a numerous
clientele. At the time of his disap-
pearance from this city it was estimated
he had the names of fully 10000 depos-
itOrS on his books -

ST. PAUL FINANCE s.
School Teachers in the Boom City Wait
for Their Pay.


The Mutual Life Insurance Company,
of New York, has brought suit against
the st. Paul Board of Education and the
city of st. Paul, to recover $4,000. No
vember 7, 1889, the Board of Education
borrowed, through f. w. Peet, the
resident agent of the Mutual, $3.50
at per cent, payable in one year. On
November y, 1889, another $35, 900 was
borrowed on the same terms, and on
February TO- 1890, the board secured
$50, 600 more of the same company. For
this money certificates of indebted
ness issued by the board, signed
by President Haas and Secre-
turv White, and countersigned by
Comptroller Roche, for the city.
The board has had no money credited
to it for some time, and on February
the city corps of teachers were unable
to secure their salaries. 1t is not gener-
ally believed, however, that the city is
in serious financial distress, and it is
probable that the money will be forth
coming in the next few days to meet all
present needs.

THE SEATTLE ACKNOWLEDGMENT SUNDAY sEpTEMpe % 1907

after noon thesky became overcast with angry
black clouds, thunder began to roar and light
ming flashed over the kouse-tops Such a rare
event as q thunderstorm on Puget sound at
traeted general attention. The unclaimed cleo
trieity dsrted through the air, mingled itself
with the more peaceful current flowing along
the wires and played great pranks with all
electrical apparatus. IL shot along the fire alarm
wires, rang the big gong at headquarters, brought
the horses Gathering from their stalls and the
fremen sliding down their brass poles TO find
only false alarm. second fash darted along
the wires and rang the gong, again calling
horses and men to their posts. The lightning
arresters carried the wild current harmless to
the ground.
While the thunder still roared and the light.
ming flashed, the rattle of hailstones was heard
on roof and pavement, and Tor few
minutes the ground was white with
little balls OF heaven-born ice. After
that came the deluge. For several hours rain
descended in torrents, driving all but the most
venturesome indoors At the same time the
temperature rapidly grew colder, and caused
the kindling of fires in many CRATES and stoves
which have for months been cold.
The earthquake seems to have been purely To-
cal, but the storm extended over a large terri
tory. gentleman who returned from Olym pia
last evening said that the hail was so heavy
the caves OF houses and out OF cutters, and coy
cred the soes of pedestrians shoes.
The following dispatch received from Lieu
tenant Finley at San Francisco by Captain ]. A.

in the weather today: "Light rain; slightly
warmer; storm passing eastwardly into British

THE ELEMENTS AT PLAY.
Earth Ouakes, Thunder Roars, Ligh
ming Runs Wild and Hail Descends.

The remark made by an American tourist
that England had no climate but simply had
samples, might have been justly applied to the
weather in Seattle yesterday. 1t was of several
varieties, none of which was very pleasant.
In the morning as the laggards were on their
way down town to business, deep sigh shook
the broad bosom of Mother Earth and rocked
her children to and fro. There was an
earthquake at 900 in the morn
ing, which shook the country from
southeast to northwest, lasting several
seconds 1t rocked the people on the streets so
as TO make the most rigid prohibitionist doubt
his own sobriety, made the crockery rattle and
the chandeliers swing, stopped the clocks,
scared the rats and cats and disturbed the equi-
hbrium of everybody and everything. 1t was
naturally felt most in the tallest buildings and
made Boyd J. Tallman and +. ]. Grant regret their
proximity to heaven and fear too sudden de-
scent TO earth from their airy perches at the top
of the Safe Deposit building. The occupants of
the top floor Of the Pioneer block and other tall
buildings felt similar sensation, and the
wheels of justice at the courthouse were put
temporarily out OF gear.
The earthquake was a good enough topic of
conversation TO last through the morning and
had not bad time to grow tiresome when the
weather clerk furnished a new one. During the
morning the city was dosed with alternate
CLEANS of sunshine and shower baths, but soon
