A SMALL CYCLONE.

Kansas has boon OF late years al
most entirely free from destructive
storms, but within the past ten days
the western and central parts OF the
state have been visited by severe
winds which have caused considerable
destruction to both life and property.
II should he understood that In many
of the newer counties of Kansas the
tenements are built on economic prin-
ciples and are not calculated to stand
much of q storm, So that there is like
" to be more losses from moderate
winds than would occur IN older
states during hurricane. =,
The storm of Sunday night caused
some destruction in Baxter Springs IN
the way OF turning over out houses,
blowing loose bricks off the chimneys
and flattening out board fences, but
the only serious damage done was the
turning inside out of Mines large hay
barn near the railroad track. 1t was
empty at the time and was converted
into kindling wood in short order.
The barn was not rs substantially
built as it should have been, or the tail
end Of a cyclone swooped down and
took it in, or old Boreas knew that II
was insured for $500 with Daniels In
the Phoenix, OF Hartford, and the
owner would be remunerated for his
loss, or some other special dispense
ton of providence beyond our ken,
but the fact remains that the barn
went out of town about IL O'Clock
Sunday night and the owner is
waiting for the insurance money so
that he can build another one, which
he will probably get IN few days or
the insurance agent will get struck
with sure enough cyclone, and that
is all there is about the great Baxter
tornado of 1892.

SECRET SOCIETY GOSSIP.

Our secret society reporter, while
making the rounds one evening last
week ran across a new order or soci'

ed OF young ladies who enjoy the bles-
sed privilege of unmarried life. The
reporter could not by any contrivance
gain admission to the lodge room, but
through the fundamentally of peck.
ct monograph secured the words and
music of the following closing ode
which was sung with great zest an6
spirit by the entire lodge:
Oh! we'll never come back,
Well never come back,
Our bright faces you'll see nevermore.
For the d. s. d. dears
Are all up on their ears,
On account Of the newspaper lore.

Farm rents IN Cherokee county will
undoubtedly advance another year 80
that owners will receive ut least one
half the crop. Farms heretofore have
's.iecn leased for One-third, but this is
lower than the price obtained in less
favored localities and there is no rea-
son why the farms in this section
should not bring rs much as those of
Illinois and other states. The demand
for farms is much greater than the
supply and the owner should get the
benefit. So long as renters can get
land for One-third the crop they will
not buy, but if they have to pay one
half the crop they will be more likely
to become purchasers. The good lands
of our country are about all occupied
and when 1t comes to crop raising
and u general diversity Of products
Cherokee county can hardly be beaten,
in the state or out of 1t. The price Of
rents should advance In proportion to
the value Of the land and its products.

When we read and listen to discus
slons OF comparative value Of long or
shoulder measures with those that are
short and sectional in which one or the
other is denounced as unscientific or
lmpracticable, our mind Immediately
dwells for Il moment on a proverbially
stupid animal with long ears. The fact
is that many cutters are successful
with the first, and just about as many
with the others.
Every man cannot become a good cut
ter. Some do not seem to "catch on
as the saying is, and others who seem to
do so are never able to produce any
other results than such as make old
heads swim"
Natural ability and educational ad-
vantages generally insure success, but
years Of work on the board, the ability
even to make good coat, is no guar
antee Of the possession of that mental
equipment which is necessary to make =
good cutter
When it requires hours Of labor to fix
in some ones mind the difference be
tween one-third and one-quarter of a
size, how can such d one expect to sue
coed as a cutter?
When a student is able to think quick
ly and clearly we confidently expect
him to become a skillful cutter, even
though he cannot make a coat so well as
many others. The fact is that to be
successful IN garment cutting, as in ANY
other trade or profession, man must
have brains, know how to use them and
use them Us he should-Tailoring Jour

wicked arguments which the Constitu-
ton had been making to the effect that
the failure of the house to pass a bill (by
which the coinage of seventy cents worth
of silver into full dollars would have in
creased the circulation thirty cents per
capita) would assuredly drive many alli-
an3emen into the third party.
Mr.. Watson, who is big part of dis
tinctive issue in Georgia politics, hearth
ly disclaims having seen Captain Howell
or having had any communication with
him whatever.
AS Mr.. Moses is in George trying to
keep people from entering the third par
ty, could not interview him; but l feel
safe in stating that he neither signed the
telegram nor anticipated in the confer
ence which brought Captain Howell to
Washington.
WHO REPRESENTS GEORGIA ANYHOW.
This would now lead to the natural
inquiry, if the Captains statement was
correct: Who are the Georgia delegation
anyhow?
If the editor in chief of the Constitu-
ton interviews himself in many more
issues of his great Sunday paper the
delegation will have to call a convention
and appoint committee of investigation
to find out who they are.
Colonel livingston had a long CONVEX
sation with Captain Howell, but as it
was strictly private, nobody knows what
it was about, and it could not be stretched
into the proportions of consultation
with the Georgia delegation"
The telegram which the captain termed
a summons from 1.-THE mem who hold
seats in congress at the favor of Geol-
gia's democratic votes was in substance
as follows:
E. P. Howell, Atlanta, Ga.
Please come to Washington to talk
over important matters. Livingston
