SHE WANTED H CHANGE
Why Rich Contractor Smith,
 of Pleasantville, Mourns.
HIS WIFE GONE WITH ANOTHER.

She Had All That Wealth Could Bestow,
 But Grew Tired of Her Elderly Husband.
 WhO Was Frequently Compelled to Be
 Away from Home-Her Curt Letter.
 PLEAsANTvnLE, N. J., May SO.-A ds- serted husband, q cleaned out house and an erring wife are the topics that are just now causing a sensation in this vii. lage. Ambrose Smith, wealthy con tractor, who, with his young wife, has occupied a beautiful mansion on West street for about two years past, returned from business trip to Ohio recently, only to find his home deserted by his wife, and all the handsome furniture and articles of value, with which the house was filled, likewise gone. Mir. Smith has just received the following letter, explanatory of hlS wife's depart" ure. -|
 tI have left you and gone with 8 man ! believe can always love and cherish. He is good looking, too. I have lived with you 8 long time, and think 1t iS about time made Q change, and you have the same privilege, as I will never return to interfere with your future hap ,piness or misery. My only reason for leaving you is that you are always ab. sent from home, and have seen so little of you the last few years that have grown tired of you, and take this method of getting rid of you entirely. Good by. Yourwife, MAMIK.n
 MT: Smith is middle-aged, stout and prosperous. In 1888, while on 8 busi- ness trip through the South, he met and loved pretty, dark-eyed Mamie Garfield. Younger suitors dropped by the waysida before his solid recommendation. In 1889 he married his little love, and Q few months later found them ensconced in a handsome house here.
 For 8 time all was love and roses. Then came 8 change. MT. Smith was indulgent; his wife fond of gayety. Her husband had no objections to her going about, but he drew the line at accom-. panying her.
 At this extreme a very attractive young grass widow of the neighborhood came into play. She and Mrs. Smith soon be- came fast friends. Then came an all night absence of his wife's to disturb the anxious husband. A trip to Mrs> Smith'S mother was the excuse given and accepted. Then another trip, in- Yestigation and the knowledge of hay. ing been deceived, the wife admitting that New York was where she had been going.
 As Smith was trusting and the widow friend above reproach in his opinion, he let the New York trips continue, with the present result
 MT. Smith said yesterdaY that, while he was sorry to lose his wife, he was glad she had found man to whom she would be devoted.

THE kANsAs CYCLONE.
Twenty Dead and Elfty Hurt at vVeIllnl
 ton-Rsports from Other Points.

WELLMGToH, KanR., May 80.-The telegraph service throuRhout the dis .trict swept by the terrible cyclone is ia st being repaired and reports now coming in, while confirming to great extent the previous -eports of destruction to property, are more eonSoling as to loss of life. While many parsons were in- .jured the actual loss of life will prob ably not exceed twenty and nine of them so far as now known occurred in this town.
 The wounded number at least 100, but none at this time are expected to die.
 The Presbyterian, Lutheran and Epis- 'copal churches are entirely destroyed, as is the second ward school building worth $26, 1000. The offices of the ].Monitor," 'tPress'' and "People's Voice" are covered with several feet of debris.
 There are over 100 families without shelter. and many are left in the most destitute distressing circumstances, with neither clothing nor food.
 Trains from Wichita, Winfield and other points have been constantly ar irving, bringing physicians, reporters and workmen until the streets are thronged with pedestrians who pick their way through the debris to see the frightful work of the clements. The brick and stone block on Washington street occupied by number of firms is roohsss.
 The city is a mass of debris and the streets and yards are filtered with wires, trees, boards, shingles and tin roofing, making it next to impossible to get around.
 The Mayor, City Council and Executive Committee of the Commercial Club met to consider the advisability of asking outside aid. They decided that it was best not to do so if they could possibly relieve the wants of the suffering and afflicted. They however acknowledged the great demand for assistance and will accept offerings if freely given.
 Reports from Harper, Harper County, tell of terrible destruction in that vicinity.
 The death dealing tornado was first noticed southwest of Anthony and thence it travelled to the village of Crystal Springs, which 1t wiped almost on the face of the earth. From this to Harper, . distance of about . dozen miles, every obstacle in the way of the twister was razed. The wrecks of farm houses, barns and farm imple- the route. Harper was directly in the 9Aurse of the cyclone and felt It's full force. In all the town there are not more than a dozen uninjurcd houses where dwelt the thousand people. The central business part of the town of Harper Is . confused pile of rubbish.
 In the town of Harper there may be victims of the storm buried beneat the mass of debris. The total property de- stroyed Is roughly estiAated at half a million dollars.

nzr. Blaine Back in Warrington.

WASHINGTON, May 3O.-Secretary Blaine spent quiet Sunday at his home here and though Q number of news paper men sent in their cards, Mr. Blaine refused to sec any of them. MT. Blaine's return here is the subject of much speculation as it iS interpreted to mean that he has not fully made up his mind as to whether or not he will permit his name to bo presented to the Minneapolis Convention. Had he re- mained away until after the Convention met 1t would have been taken as evil dence that his name would be presented. As 1t is the same uncertainty as to his course that has existed for the past ten days, still remains.

 Killed by Indians in Alaska.
 WASHINGTON, May S0.-Ths particulars given in the accounts of the reported murder of Rev. Sheldon Jackson, the well-known missionary to Alaska by the Juneau Indians, confirmed the opin- ion expressed yesterday by the friends of Dr. Jackson that the report, so far as he was concerned at least, was 8 cAnard. @
 The statement that the missionary made an effort three weeks ago to put & stop to the smuggling of whiskey to the Indians proves that it could not refer to Dr. Jackson. He sailed on the rev. enue cutter Bear, which did not leave Seattle, Washington, until the 18th inst, less than three weeks ago.
 Dr. Jackson is employed by the Bureau of Education, and neither that Bureau of the Treasury Department has received any news whatever from the Bear since she sailed from Seattle.

Certainly cotton didr'twant protection,

North, he might just as well have made
no reference to the South at all, and

are with those whose lot was cast IN
