Cyclone Notes.

Many of our good citizens last Friday
evening began to think seriously Of all
the mean things they had ever done.
The occasion was one of the most fright
full and sublime cloud displays ever
witnessed.
the ridge between Elm creek and the
Medicine river and passed on to the
east just north of town. This destroyed
the crops along the ridge completely, IN
Guiding the wheat fields Of Mr.. Hardy
and Mr.. Galloway. Hailstones as large
as hen s eggs fell In abundance and sank
4 and inches in the soft wet ground,
and playing havoc with windows and
roofs as well as crops. This was follow
ed by another mass of clouds which
seemed to center over the north and
northwest portions of the city. Great
cloud piles. black and white, were whirl-
ing, rolling and tumbling; now shoot
ing thousand feet into the air, now
tumbling back to the earth, rushing to
the four points of the compass, then
crcling back again with ever increasing
| velocity, like hugh monsters struggling
| for the mastery.
at one time the mass sank within a
few feet of the roofs, then lifted and
moved away. It was Immediately fol-
lowed, as it moved away, by a we'll de-
fined funnel of light-colored clouds.
This seemed to do the damage. 1t pick
| ed up the roof of the First National
bank and dropped it back. At Mr.. Bur
| nett'S 1t tore siX-inch square out of
| one side of the roof, a twelve-inch
square out of the other, neatly took of
the blinds, and dipped down into a
basement stairway and took up the
walk. 1t picked up kitchen and set
the other side against the house. 1t
took Mr.. Axline's porch into the air,
drove shingle through the side of Mr..
Weber's house, tore up buggy of Mr..
Woodland S, shattered Mr.. Fields house,
took horse carefully up into the all
and let it gently down, and after yari-
Gus such peculiar pranks, without any
| great damages, started on its course OF
destruction and death.
The creeks east and west were flooded
by the storm of Friday night; the Med
icne river, just west of town, was one
half mile wide. The entertainments OF
the bridge east of kiowa are washed
away. Many small bridges suffered the
same fate.
Messrs. Joe. and Tom. Strickland
made the office a call Monday. Joe.
with his neighbors, Mr.. Purcell, Mr.
Warrington, Charley Jessie and Others
lost all their crops in the storm.
The crops are completely destroyed
between Harper and Kingman.
Every house in Harper is racked
Thirty farm houses west of Harper art
gone. Twelve to fifteen bodies we're ia
ken from the wrecks In Wellington, sil
in Harper. Crystal Springs is destroy
ed. One young wife was burned in tn,

good shower of rain last night.
Wheat is looking well and promising except
few pieces where 1t stands too thin. The
storm of Friday evening greatly injured some
fields of wheat northwest and north of town.
The wet weather has been very favorable for
oats, but there was not a large acreage sown,
The Baptist Sunday school at the Enon school
house is still gaining in interest and influence
under the SUPPLEMENTARY of Mrs. TiIbury.
There is a unanimous feeling that the only
proper cure for the over-crowded houses is to
build house of worship with sufficient iting
capacity. Many of the members haye already
subscribed very literally, and 1 understand
the work Of soliciting subscriptions is to be
pushed with vigor until enough is raised.
The Sunday school in the N. e. house Of
worship is rapidly gaining under the superin-
tendency of Mrs. Eek. This Sunday school has
been but recently organized and it was greatly
needed by the people.
There are enough honey-yielding plants in
bloom at present, such as hoar-hound, mother
wort, watercress and blackberries to afford
some honey for bees brood-rearing, but not
enough to give any surplus as yet. Those col
onies having fertile queens are multiplying In
bees very rapidly. JASON.

Deerhead Items

The following items, from our Deer
head correspondent, were received too
late for publication last week, but they
are still good:
Mrs. Jesse B. John, who has been
quite sick for more than a week, is now
steadily improving.
Born-to Mr.. and Mrs. r. II. Freder-
lex, on May 10th, daughter. Owing
to their scarcity, babies are as good as
gold about Deerhead. The neighbors
have been flocking in. the past few DAYS,
to congratulate the parents.
Mrs. Dark, of Aetna, and Miss Lille
Hickman, were visiting Jesse Johns
family Sunday.
Dick McKeever has returned from his
winter quarters in Harper county, and
is again on his old range south of Deer
head.
Miss Mabel Stewart has just closed a
successful term of school IN Comanche
county.
Jack Larkin shot gray wolf last
Sunday. They are doing considerable
injury to stock in this vicinity.
The ladies of this vicinity met at
Deerhead on Tuesday and organized a
society to be known as the Deerhead
Willing Workers. The officers are:
President, Mrs. Ed. Post; vice-presl-
dent, Mrs. l.. Fl. Robertson; secretary,
Mrs. Charlie Hildebrand, and treas
urer, Miss Linnie Renfrew. The men
are considerably in the dark as to the
real object of the movement. 1t is
known, however, that the ladies intend
to have Deerhead celebrate the Fourth
of July in truly patriotic style, to have
hitch-racks put up in Deerhead, and to
correct a whole train of abuses and usur-
Dations that have grown up through
the negligence or connivance of the ty-
rant, man. UNITY.

Notice to Subscribers!

We wish every postmaster and every
patron of the INDEX would notify us
whenever they do not get their paper
on time, for the following reasons:
The INDEX, of May 18th, did not
reach Sawyer until Saturday. the 21st.
along with the Cresset, when 1t should
have been there Thursday, May 18th.
MIR. MusgrOYe was there and saw it
arrive. Enquiring at the Medicine
Lodge postoffice we were told that it
might have been stopped at the inter-
mediate postoffices of Amber and Elm
Mills. Upon writing to those postmas-
tiers regarding the matter we get
the following answers:
AMBER, KAs., 5-27-1s92.
Mr.. EDITOR: Your paper was not detained
here last week. The INDEX package which
was mailed to this place did not come until
Saturday. s. j. FERGUSON,
Assistant Postmaster.
ELM MILLS KAs., 5-28-1892
The INDEX did not get this far last Thursday,
a week. j. B. SPURRIER, P. M.
Added to this we learn that Mr.. Mel
rose, of Amber, complains that he has
not received his paper regularly. Mr..
j. w. Jones, of Isabel, makes the
same complaint. MIR. McAdoo says he
had the same trouble at Coates, and al
Sharon last year notices of Jerry
Simpsons appointment at Medicine
Lodge sent in INDEX envelopes did
not reach their destination until the
speech was over. Whether all this
comes of an inefficient service, or a
malicious desire to degrade the post.
Office into an instrument of discrimina-
ton against political or business OPP
ponents, we do not pretend to say; We
leave that for the people to judge. But
from business standpoint, we cannot
stand it., and we therefore raise oul

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
We all Of us admire enterprise. 1t is great
thing to be enterprising, but there is such
thing as carrying enterprise. so called. a little
too far. If are to believe the New York
World Of this morning {enterprtsingly de-
lvered in Washington Mt an early hour it has
inauguratcd regular line of communication
between the infected vessels in lower New York
buy and New York city.
II has gone further and has sent properly
disinfected" letters from the Normannia, on
which two deaths from cholera occurred yes
terday, broadcast throughout the country, one
Of which note comes to Washington.
Is this not carrying newspaper enterprise to
a dangerous extremity?
1t is no doubt extremely gratifying to the
detained passengers on the infected vessels to
obtain news from the outside world a. il IL the
friends and relatives on shore to hear from
those on board. Would il not be better, how
ever. to leave this communication business, dis
infection and mail carrying to the health
officials and the Post Office Department.?
1t is possible that one Of the enterprising
Greg or the tug employed might himself be-
come infected before he could be disinfected
and what might result is not pleasant to con-
template. Perhaps it would be Just ~ we'll to
confne newspaper enterprise to the gathering
OF news. j. COOPER McGiNN.
