KANSAS AGAIN VISITED.

A Portion of That State Swept Over by
~s Another Disastrous Storm.
CHERRYvALE, Kan, April 4.-This
section of Kansas was again visited by
a terrible storm. This time it was a
genuine cyclone. A funnel-shaped cloud
in the afternoon was seen approaching
the town from the southwest. 1t was
accompanied by a deep, roaring sound,
and as it drew near it could be seen
turning and twisting about with ter
rible velocity. 1t travelled with in
credible speed and barely missed the
town, passing one mile to the SOUTH
west. It demolished six houses in that
vicinity, killing two people and fatally
injuring another. The house of
John Reeves, farmer. was torn
to pieces by the cyclone. Mrs. Reeves
was killed outright and Mr.. Reeves was
fatally injured. Mrs. Perry Nixon, the
wife of another farmer in the vicinity,
was also fatally injured in the deinoli-
ton of her house. Mrs. E. r. Lawson
of this city was struck by lightning
during the storm and was instantly
killed. The damage to barns, out
houses, fences, etc., is very great. Re-
ports from various places in the vicin
ity of Cherryville report that severe
storm ragged there but no further fatali-
ties are reported. Much damage to
crops and farm property is reported.

THE DEATH LIST.

Number Of Killed in the Kansas Cyclone
Over Fifty.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 3.-With
the going down of the wind the tele-
graph is again brought into service and
the storm stricken district of Kansas
heard from. The wire service is still
very slow, but there is enough coming
in to show that the terrible work was
far reaching and very destructive. A
careful estimate regarding the number
of killed and wounded throughout the
state, the result of the winds havoc
makes it nearly one hundred killed and
between two and three hundred injured.
The following is the estimate placed on
the dead and wounded as near as can
be ascertained at this time:
Towanda-Nine.
Rosehill-Two.
WanegO-Eight.
Strong City-Nina
Torna-FiVe.
Smolan-One.
Nint Creek-One.
South Haven-Nine.
LouiSvillo---One.
Augusta-Three.
These towns are the only ones from
which anything like a definite report
has been obtained, and the possibility is
that when the western towns and viii
lagos are heard from the dead list Will
be swelled to nearly one hundred.

Gninp to Desert.

do not think that General Burns.des'
soldiers thought he was the ablest general
Of the war, but they firmly believed, and
long years have not changed that opinion,
that he was the kindest, gentlest and bray
est man that ever led a corps.
During the siege of Knoxville by Long
street, Burnside's men were sorely tried,
not only in resisting assaults and in main
tanning a constant vigilance, but for want
of proper clothing and sufficient food.
One early morning as General Burnside
was making his way along the outer
works he came upon an unarmed soldier
whose conduct excited his suspicious.
''Hello, my man, who are you?" demand
ed the general.
The soldier gave his name and regiment.
"But YOUR regiment isat ort Saunders, F"
said the general. "What are you doing
over here?"
The man scratched his head, looked up
at the patient. kindly face, then blurted
out:
General, Pm so nigh starved that l
thought I'd desart to some place where
there's more feed"
Instead of becoming indignant General
Burnside laid his hand on the mans
shoulder, and said:
"Well, my friend, must acknowledge
the temptation is very great. But I'll
make a bargain with you"
What is that, sir?"
go back to your regiment and do your
duty for ten days more like man; then,
if things haven't improved, come to me
and I'll desert with you" ..-.
The man went back, and before the ten
days were up Sherman had raised the
siege. ALFRED X. CALHOUN.

CINCINNATI, April 1.-The steamer

were fifty people on board the vessel

The flames spread SO rapidly that the

are known to have been lost.

but Beatrice, Elk Greek, Beaver City
and Nebraska City also suffered heavily.
AS in Kansas, little has been heard from
the farming districts, where the storm
ragged all day and all night over the
plains with. unobstructed fury. Loss of
life is sure to have resulted.
Missouri Got on Lightly.
Missouri seems to have been lightly
visited, except ON the western edge.
Kansas City was roughly shaken up,
and unroofed houses, uprooted trees
and tangled telegraph wires bear testi-
mony to the strength of the gale. Sc
dalia, too, suffered rather heavily, but
the rest of the state escaped practically
unscathed.
In minnesota and Wisconsin.
Minnesota and Wisconsin felt only the
dying breath of the giant gale, and al
though the cities of Beloit and Green
Bay in the latter state sustained con-
siderable damage there We're no casual
ties and the gross loss will not be heavy.
In Illinois the rain, wind and hail
were heavy, but only in Chicago and it's
suburbs, so far as heard, was there any
loss of life. The fall of a huge seven
story burick building in Pearee street,
which crushed an adjoining cottage, is
responsible for the death of eight persons
and the injury of dozen others.
In the suburbs of Grand Crossing four
persons were injured by the collapse of
a house, and at Woodlawn, four others
were hurt in similar manner. East
of this city the storm seems to have lost
its force, and although heavy rains and
accompanying high winds are reported
from Indiana and points along the lakes,
there was no loss of life and little dam
age to property.

A Case of Nerve.

When travelling through India some
years ago, my letters of introduction from
English officers at Hong Kong gave me n
welcome in many quarters not accessible
to the ordinary tourist met Major Bell,
of the Indian service at Calcutta, and we
travelled together on the cars to the famous
city Of Lucknow, outside of which, some
six miles, he lived with his wife, two chill
dren and an army of native servants
As / was master of my own time and
had conceived decided liking for the sol
dierly Englishman, it did not require
much urging on his part to induce me to
go out with him to his bungalow, near
which he promised me some good Jungle
f0sa shooting. But, = he said, ~ regret
to tell you that we are out of reach of
tigers" and assured him that ] did not
regret it at all, and that did not come
to India to hunt for lost tigers.
am tempted to dwell at length on this
delightful visit to Major Bell, but rs my
purpose is simply to describe Il little ad-
venture in which my host exhibited the
strongest nerve and the coolest head have
ever met with, ! will come at once to the
incident.
The majors first born WAS Il handsome,
lovable little fellow of siy, the idol of his
mothers heart and the apple of his fathers
eye
One evening as we neared the house,
after a not very successful tramp through
jungle along the Goomty river, on
which Lucknow is situated, we saw
"Pinty," the pet name for the boy, playing
by the roadside, where he had evidently
come to meet us. His back was toward us,
and he was SO much interested in some
thing in front that he neither saw nor
heard us as we drew near.
Thinking to give the little fellow a pleas
ant surprise, the major motioned to me to
keep perfectly quiet; then he went softly
ahead, but when within ten PAGES of the
child he came to Il sudden halt, steadied
himself as if to keep from falling, and the
side face turned toward me was ashy and
pain lined.
Two silent steps forward revealed the
situation that had wrought this sudden
change in the major. Directly in front of
the child and not more than five feet
away, was an enormous cobra.
1t was coiled, though not in ring like
the American rattlesnake, and from the
center of the glittering mass of convolu-
tions there rose the swollen head and neck
Oh Tile illOuSlCE, MulCu SWdycu
round in rhythmic curves, while the forked
tongue darted in and out necessarily and
the cruel eyes cleaned like liquid fire.
The major half raised his gun, but real
izing that it would be impossible to dis
charge it at the cobra without hitting the
child-for it was loaded with shot-he
changed his purpose and reached back to
his hip for his pistol.
AS he raised the weapon lost for the
instant all sense of the child's danger in
admiration for the fathers phenomenal
nerve Not muscle trembled as he raised
the weapon, and his arm was as rigid as
Steel
An instant of awful anxiety, then flash
and d crack, and dropping the pistol the
major leaped forward and caught the
startled and unharned child to his heart.
The bullet went directly through the
cobra's head, and for a week after that l
saw cobras in my dreams.
