"Some weeks ago the Sedalia

Judges thoroughly posted in the pro-

CYCLONES FURY.
The Terrific Force of the Kansas
"Twister."

The following is description of the
terrible fury of the recent Kansas
cyclone, as described by an eye witness
in a private letter to Sedalian
The terrible cyclone at Williams.
town on last Wednesday evening, has
caused the greatest excitement here
that l ever saw. Every body that
can get there has gone to see the work
Of destruction and it is simply amaz-
ing.
There are from one t, three thous-
and on the ground ever since it &C.
cured and to-day there will be many
more than that. Every livery team
is taken and the L. p. will run an
excursion. | am ready TO believe
anything that may he said about the
cyclone hereafter. The persons who
were killed were horribly mutilated.
Mrs. Hutchinson, that used to he Sadie
Esson, was literally torn to pieces,
one of her limbs being found hanging
on the top of tree, and several had
their heads taken from their bodies as
though cut off with a knife. Every
one killed and some that were not
were stripped as naked as when born.
Every living thing in the storms
path was killed. Chickens and turkeys
were picked perfectly clean and large
hogs were torn in two. A new wagon
standing at Mrs. Hutchinson's was
torn to fragments, the tires being torn
from the wheels and Strengthened as by
a blacksmith and every spoke broken
from the hub. In short, it would
take all day to tell the strange things
done. l hope that there will never
be another so close to us again.

STILL AT WORK.
Another Unsuccessful Attempt
to Hold Up a katy"
Train.

Another unsuccessful attempt was
made to hold up Missouri, Kansas
and Texas passenger train No. 3 at
Stringtown, Tex, Friday night, max
ing the third attempt in the last week.
1t was in all probability the same
gang which fired into the train last
Friday night, as the tactics were the
same used in each instance. The
train Friday was guarded by three
men on the engine, three in the ex-
press car and three in the baggage
car. 1t was due at Stringtown at
l.05. and had orders not to stop I'M
der any consideration, it
having been reported that a
crowi of tough looking individuals
were observed lurking in that vicinity
all day. Engineer Dantorth was on
the engine and going about thirty-five
miles an hour when he arrived at the
station. The train dashed past the
depot and in an instant a volley of
bullets were sent after it. A number
of these took effect in the smoker and
chair car, but no one was hurt. In
mediately those awake on the train
dropped to the floor and many began
hiding their valuable. No. 4 north
bound was warned and went through
the station without stopping. The
train stopped some distance below
where the attack was made, the
guards returning on foot. Several
negroes were encountered coming
down the track, and were arrested.
Henry Pinkney, a stock tender Of
Wharton county, Texas, was a pas
senger in the smoker. One of the bull
lets went through the window above
his head, throwing quantity Of glass
in his face. The would-be train rob-
bers are, no doubt, novices, a new
gang which has sprung up, being EN-
bo!dened by the recent success of train
robbers. The opinion is concurred in
by Capt. Charles LAHORE, of the
Indian police.

Mrs. Shaw is fat, short, chunky
woman, with a sweet face and dark
expressive eyes. Her elocution is ex.
cellent and her fuency of thought and
language is quite captivating. She
proceeds to the task before her il reg
ular ministerial style and occasionally
gesticulates after the manner Of an
evangelist.
The burden of Mrs. Shaw's sermon
was to the effect that men fol-
low vision. She called atten-
ton to the various motives
which lead men to join the church.
For instance, she cited the case OF Il
young medical student who. upon
graduating, was asked where he in
tended to settle down TO the practice
of his profession. well" said he,
II shall select good town and then
carefully cast about TO find which is
the most popular church in that town,
and become a member of it"
A doctor, said Mrs. Shaw, joins a
big church and then he is pretty sure
of good practice, for the church will
patronize him in exchange for the pat
ronage he gives it.

ions would roam up and down The

cast up by the waves. Presently a
sail would hove in sight in the ia int
distance and the children would in

where she was from, laden with what

would leap at the sight and he would
picture to himself the time
when he, too, might become a third
mate thena second mate, then a frs,
mate and finally captain ofthe finest
.hip upon the sea. He was following
a vision.
A large part of Mrs. Shaw's SER
mon, or rather lecture, was in the
nature of a woman SUFFRAGE discourse.
She spoke of the bondage in which
had long been held by church
md society and alluded to her gradu-
Il emancipation from the fetters of

Some Christians might possibly

If it were not for frequent

would have nothing to talk about.
Many men do their drinking in

Too many men and women have
their morning devotions al home and
fail to bring their prayers down the
