A Windy Story.

A Nebraska paper describes recent
wind story as follows: "We saw thou.
sands of wagon tracks q mile long
blown into the air and some OF them
warped into indescribable shapes.
Old cellars were blown out and hurl-
ed up against the foot hills, and now
speculators are saving them up into
post holes to supply the farmers dur
ing the rush of immigration to the
new county seat. We saw an old we'll
drawn out by the roots till the hole
stuck up 200 feet high without a parti-
Gle OF dirt around 1T, and it is thought
had it not caught on q nail in the
platform it would have been entirely
blown away and destroyed. 1t is so
badly twisted out Of shape that it
will be difficult to replace it. Canyons
hundred feet deep were blown clear
up on the ridges, and now teamsters'
are compelled to pull over q tumbled
mass of hills. The dirt Was blown
out from under many strawstacks to
q depth Of 300 feet and the stacks left
suspended in mid air without any
visible means OF support. The strang-
est freak noted is where q note
shaver's conscience was accidently
dropped on a street crossing. 1t re-
mained there all day and the wind
was powerless to remove it from the
path OF pedestrians.

His Was All Right,

A general impress ion seems to pre-.
vail among the farmers that corn
planted some two or three weeks ago
has become rotten on account Of the
wet weather. j. N. Hymes says that
this is not the case. He says that on
April goth and 3Oth he planted corn
on. his farm west of town and on ex-
animation this week he could not find
q single kernel that had not sprouted,
even in the lowest places where the
water had stood the longest, and with
the warm days we have had since he
examined it, by this time the same
will have come up. Farmers have
come in and bought barley and flax
to SOW on the ground that had corn
planted or it, thinking that it had
rotted and would not grow. It will
pay them to do like Mr.. Hymes did;
examine the seed in theground, ,-Yolga

DEATH DEALING CYCLONE,
wellington, Kansas. The Scene of Hor-
or and Destruction

Wellington, Kansas. The Scene of Hor-
or and Destruction.
Friday night. May 81, q terrible
cyclone struck Wellington and the
entire northern portion of the city
was destroyed. Two OF the largest
hotels in the city were complstely
wrecked and one OF them took fire.
Many OF the guests were doubtless
burned to death.
Wellington is the county seat OF
Sumner county, and has population
OF over 10, 900 inhabitants. 1t is the
center OF a tbickly settled district. 1t
is the most prominent town in
Southern Kansas. ...l
A heavy storm of wind and rain
preceded the cyclone about half an
hour. A few minutes after O'Clock
the cyclone struck the city, coming
from the southwest. There were no
premonitory signs. Everybody was
indoors, and the cloud passed with its
destructive rush and awful roar un.
| seen.
At l1:15 o'clock fifteen dead bodies
had been recovered and the investiga.
tion OF the wrecked buildings was only
barely made.
Washington avenue, the principal
business street, is lined on both sides
for clocks with ruins. A solid block
OF brick buildings, containing half q
dozen stores and the Monitor, Press
and Voice printing Offices. lies q
tumbled heap OF brick and mortar.
The city was in darkness as broke n
mains made it necessary to shut down
the gas works and save destruction
from fire.
INDISPENSABLE DESTRUCTION,
The streets are Uttered with tin roof
ing, cloth awnings, broken glass and
timbers. Everybody was on the
streets carrying lanterns and it was
utterly impossible to get the exact
facts. The destruction is simply aw.
ful. The Standard and Mail Offices
were wrecked. The opera house and
dozens OF the best business buildings
are useless. Fine school buildings and
churches are ruined.
The cyclone did not do much dam.
age until it reached the center of the
town. On Jefferson avenue it destroy
ed the Presbyterian church, but only
unroofed the residences. It's most dis
astrous work was done in the COM
pass of four squares bounded by JET
ferson avenue, Avenue c and Seventh
and Ninth streets. Every building in
those two squares was demolished
and wrecked. Fortunately, the resi-
dences in that locality are not SO
numerous, otherwise the loss OF life
might have been much greater.

RAMS HORN NOTES.


Truth is the breath OF God.
Mercy and truth are the wings OF
love.
The man who shuts out good shuts
out God.
It takes more courage to endure
than to act.
Mercy is the touch of a mother
dressing a wound.
Nobody in the devils army wants
to be private.
The people who fear God most are
least afraid OF men.
The lower down christian gets
the higher up be looks.
The gold plating on a wire does
not make it any stronger.
God lights no mans house who
shuts up all the windows.
The right kind of man is never
hurt any by persecution.
Take the nails out Of the church
and down goes the steeple.
The man who works for God al
ways gets his pay in advance.
The surest way to win the love OF
people is to become lovable.
Gods bread is always sweeter than
the devils plum pudding.
Whenever q wise man makes q
mistake it teaches him something.
