Victims of the Cyclone.

The many friends and relatives of
Mrs. Earl-formerly Miss Jennie
Bailey-in this city and county, will
be panied to know that she and her
husband were victims of the cyclone
which struck Wellington, Kansas, on
Friday night of last week, and in few
seconds were rendered homeless and
penniless, and it is a miracle that
they escaped with their lives. The
following postal card, written to her
sister, Miss Alice Bailey, tells the sad
story in few words:
MAY 2sth.
Cyclone struck Wellington last
night at 91O. Our house swept en-
tirely away, Mr.. Earl badly hurt,
arm broken, back and chest badly
hurt. l am considerably cut and
bruised but no bones broken. We
haven't thing on earth, not even a
suit of underclothing and am fear
full Mr.. Earl will not survive the
shock. We have so many kind
friends; are now at DR.. Hunts. Will
write you the particulars as soon as 1
am able. Lovingly,
JENNIE.
Mrs. Earl is a daughter of Mr..
William Bailey, formerly of this city,
but now farming near Eminence, in
Henry county, and her mother is a
sister of Mr.. Walker Stephens, of
Leestown.
The citizens of Frankfort should
be truly thankful to the author of
our being for the majestic hills which
surround us on every side, and pro-
tect us from such awful calamities,
when they read such pitiful
stories as the above, and let that
thankfulness be deep enough, to
reach their purses-causing them to
give literally to the relief of the un.
fortunate ones Of less favored locali-
ties.

Free silver situation,

Washington special: The first skirmish
in the free silver fight was won by the OPP
position to Bland. The leader in the con-
test. which was of the tilhuStcrln. order.
WAS Congressman Tracey of New York. who
insisted that the Stewart bill should he re-
fcrrcd to the committee on banking and
currency instead of to the committee on
coinage. MIR. Tracey did not expect to win.
His motion was 81 dilatory movement ON
the part of the ant free coinage men. and
IL resulted in giving up the entire session
OF the House to useless roll calls. which
simply demonstrated the fact that no
quorum was present. There was no direct
vote which could be regarded in amy sense
save Il test of the strcngtho of the two sides.
Some of the New York aud Boston demo-
cratic and papers have had Il
great deal To say of late concerning the Re.
publican enatc aud the silver bill. BE-
cause the measure passed the upper branch
of Congress by the aid OF II handful of Re-
publicans the Republican party is held re-
sroasible in these Cleveland organs for the
bill. This has created II disposition among
some Republicans to allow the Democrats
of the House TO have things their own way
and it will not BIZ surprising in consequence
II these Republicans give the mugwumps IL
chance to change their tune. and at the
same time give the President the opportun-
ity to show the country just where the Re-
publican party stands on the q~uestisn OF
sound finance. 1t WAS by Republican votes
that the Bland bill was defeated. IL the
Stewart bill passes the House it will have Il
clear Democratic majority.

on Main Street, where the two women
were alone. and stabbed his former
wife five times. Mrs. Brighton tried to
interfere and he drew the knife across
her from side to side, laying her open
so that the tntesttnes protruded. Hear
ing the disturbance the crowd rushed
in and he was taken by the Constable
to DeSmet. Sheriff Sherwin left with
him for Huron. He has always stood

Thirteen Times Married.

ZicttecaS, Men. special: Frank a.. Law
son. am American mechanic of this city. has
been arrested and jailed on q; charge of en-
cccd'ns tine limits prescribed by am old
Mexican law still in force regulating matri-
inoiy.
Lawson came here about four years ago
from the city of Mexico. bringing with him
g: pretty Spanish woman as his wife. She
died TWO months after their arrival. and
Lawson soon took another young wife. She
died alsu. and he continued to exercise his
matrimonial propcnsitics at II rate that as
tohi>icd the natives. particularly as none
of the wives lived longer than two or three
mouths after becoming IL bride.
Lawson never wore the weeds longer than
three months after the demise of his no
spectivc wives. when he would rcpcat the
matrimonial experiment. Tie people of the
city are very conservative in such matters
and they let Lawson alone with his remarks

I'll three days ago. when 1, was learned that
his arrival at Zuratccas.
Ike authorities began working on the
case. and as there was no evidence at hand
to show that his twelve previous wives died
from other than natural causes he was ar
rested under the law enacted many years
ago. which prohibits IL man cntcring into
the matrimonial state more than nine
times. Lawson therefore has four oircnscs
to answer for and so will probably receive
ii long term in prison. He is about 40 years
old, we'll educated, and has rcsidcd in Men,

that most disastrous contlagration. About

cred TO be on fire. When the tircmcn ar-

stop the progress of the fire. but soon most
Of the houses on Longs hill were burning,
Large burning brands were caught
up by the winds and carried to the rows of
other structures. which were soon burning
furiously. 1t was seen that the fire departs
