GOT EVEN WITH HER.
A Small Boys Trick ON an Elder Sister
Who Had Sighted Him.

That was mean joke played on
young lady Of Washington avenue the
other evening by small brother, says
the st. Louis Republic. She had refused
to let him go with her for horseback
ride one day, and he spitefully told her
he would "get even with her." She had
habit OF carrying in her pocket little
silver and gilt powder puff box, and
when she feels that her nose needs
touching with the puff she slides it out
carefully end under her corsage handker-
chief il reaches the dainty features and
swiftly and hidden performs its mission.
The small boy knew this small boys
are born detectives-on older sisters),
and he procured some cigar ashes, and,
seeking his sisters powder puff case, it
was the work of one small moment to
empty out the white powder and fill the
case with cigar ashes.
That night the young lady attended
performance at the Olympic. During the
performance her nose began to feel "un-
powdery," 80 she whisked the case out
of her pocket to give the usual secretive
touch with the puff behind her hand
kerchief. A moment later she was
smiling serenely in her escorts face,
and he--his expression was simply in
describable; horror, amazement, sur
prise, all blended in one concentrated
glance at the upturned face.
"There is something wrong" he NUT
tered. "Your-your nose isis gray
decidedly gray
The member in question on the pretty
face received decided upward turn as
she exclaimed: ''My nose is not gray.
What do you mean, sir, by your insult?
"But-but tit really is gray-de-
cidedly gray-deucedly gray; excuse
the expression-the grayest l ever saw
in my life"
''You are insane, sir; please take me
home" And she rose with naughty
gesture. Together they left the theater,
but, womanlike, passing the mirror neal
the entrance, she took sly glance al
her reflection. Horrors! She paused
"Why, you are right" she gasped; ''my
nose is gray. What can it be? Oh, thai
wretched boy!" Tho small boy got hi
revenge-but he goes to distant eol
lege early next week.

to Tue BEE The experts employed by the
county to investigate all the offices of the
county from January /, 1874 TO January |,
1890, have completed and filed their report on
the county judge and sheriff's offices. The
experts are of the opinion that all tho fees
collected by the county judges are not shown
by the records, but arc convinced that the
fees OF this office did not exceed 81 800 in any
one year The total amount Of fines collected
from January /, 1874, to January /, 1890, was
S232 o. During the year 1890, under the
present county judge, William Warmers
rule, and while George II. Fair was county
attorney, the sum of ,O7l was collected in
fines. Since the democratic county attorney
took his oath of office up TO the present time,
not one cent of fines has been collected. All
the ex-iudges have turned over tiues collected
10 the county treasurers, except II. Is. Will

the treasurer's books do not show deposited

terribly wonderful the way that the immense

to tremble, swing half around and

Trees were bent and broken like reeds, and
not n thing could stop the terrific onward
rash of the water, and all this occurred be-
fore tho people could possibly realize what
had happened
"rhe most remarkable feature of the dis
aster is that anyone in the track of the flood
escaped with their lives. AS far as know
no lives were lost at Cherokee and the i'm
mediate vicinity. The storm rendered be-

M4NGLED BE4oND RECOGNITION
Six Men Mnnglcd BY Debris in
(y,Ionp's Path

y
MT. CARMEL, Pa, June 26.-The Patterson
coal company's bear breaker located at Nata-
lie, village two miles north of this city, was
destroyed by cyclone this afternoon and
the following persons were killed:
j. n. BLOSSOM HawleY, Pa.
j. b. DODSON, Shickshinny, Pa.
r. ROBERTS. Luzerneborough.
WILLIAM LODGE, uzerneborough.
An Italian unknown, and another stranger
are buried under the debris. The breaker
was located under the summit of Big Noun
tain about sixteen hundred feet above
the sea level. The structure was about
three hundred feet in length and the highest
point was l15 feet. Lodge and Roberts, the
two unknown men, were skaters and were
engaged in roofing the breaker at the time
of the accident. The other two killed were
carpenters and met their death while en-
ployed at work on the interior of the
breaker.
The cyclone came very suddenly, gathered
up the mighty structure as though it were q
dolls house, and Whirling it around, dashed
it to ruin. The men were mangled almost
beyond recognition. The breaker was one of
the largest in the region. It's capacity was
about forty thousand tons per month. The
cost of its erection exceeded 100000. The
loss falls on Wilkesbarre, Pittsburg and
PHILADELPHIA capitalists.

SIOUX Cry, Ia, juno 26 Especial Tele-
gram TO THE BEE 1T is impossible yet to
get satisfactory information from the inun-
dated valleys east of here. II Is known that
the worst floods were in the valleys OF the
Little Sioux river and its tributaries, which
cover the counties Of Clay, O'Brien, Buena
Vista, Cherokee, Plymouth, Woodbury., Ida
and Monona Telegraph communication Is
stil cut off Between here and the Little
Sioux river are half dozen streams which
am parallel with it and these are still raging
torrents, with all the bridges washed out.
The Offices Of the various railroad com
panies have not yet been able TO get informa-
tiOn from the flooded district. Tho hrSt
reliable news of the loss in the Little Sioux
valley south of Cherokee was secured tonight
via courier from Correctionville TO Kingsley,
to which place the telephone line was work
ing.
The story Is that at o'clock Wednesday
morning terrible rush of water came down
through the valley above the mill dam, just
above Correctionville. The dam gave way
and the water deluged the city. Many
houses in the lower portion OF the town were
soon swept from their foundations. In one
house. large twO-story frame building, were
two children, who were drowned.
SooOn after the bridges of the Illinois Cen
tral and the Chicago & Northwestern were
destroyed, as well as several county roads.
The lower portions of the town were
abandoned as quickly as possibleN Many
families are quartered In the school house
and in high brick buildings. Stocks OF goods
were badly damaged. The railroads in all
directions from Correctonville are washed
out but it is impossible to guess the loss as
the water is still high. Hundreds of acres OF
corn above and below the town, are sub
merged and great many cattle, horses and
hogs were drowned.
In six hours Wednesday morning at Cor
rectionvile the river rose twenty-five feet
