KANSAS Cry, April 12.-Eastern Kan
sas aud western Missouri was visited
last night by terrible cyclones and hur'
ricanes. The storm prostrated telegraph
lines in all directions, and but little
definite news OF the storm is obtainable.
In Kansas the area OF the storm was
bounded by the three tiers OF counties
on tho eastern border, nearly every
county suffering more or less. Mont
golnery county, in the extreme south
eastern portion. suffered the most.
Parker, hamlet ten miles south OF
Independence, was almost totally de-
s;royed. Many houses were demolish-
cd and cara were badly wrecked, The
loss OF life is believed to have been
great, but the death list Is not obtaina-
bic, owing to the destruction Of the
telegraph lines. 4 dispatch from Hfa-
watha sta(os that the storm wrought
great havoc in Brown county, in the
northeastern part OF the state. Il is re-
ported that several towns in the county
were more or less damaged, and that
many lives were lost. These rumors
cannot be verified until tho telegraph
lines arc restored. In Missouri also
much damage was done. At Mayvlew
many houses were blown down, and it
Is believed some were injured and q
few killed. The damage to crops, both
in Missouri and Kansas, has bceu very

weather for June.

Rv June 1st storms developing IN the
western regions the last of May will be
advanced toward the central parts Of
the country. 1t vii! be quite warn,
with easterly and southerly winds IN
all the eastern parts, the areas of pre-
cipitation and storms will be approach
ing the central parts, While tho i9'
west and northwest will have winds
Stating TO westerly, with rising baron
eler and cooler. Storms Will feach the
extreme east by the Sd, and the change
10 cooler. fair weather will have cross
ell the continent. Warmer weather
Will centre in reprogressivc way
about the 9Th and 9Th, reaching high
temperature, and resulting in reaction
ary storms on and touching those dates.
Westerly winds, rising barometer, with
cool squirt will follow about the lth
10 9Th. first to the west. later east.
About the 10th strong indications o!
the solstice storms will appear. East
.rly to southerly winds will prevail
barometer will begin to fall, and it will
grow steadily warmer, resulting in
mtnv active storms from the 18th to
tn l4th. The temperature and storms
are likely to reach L crisis about the
II w moon. Renewed activity Of vol
canoes and earthquake disturbances
may naturally be expected, though not
necessarily dangerous. They are the
establishments of natural forces, and
should be looked upon as beneficial
rather than calamities.
There will he great electrical activity
during the soslice storms, especially
during the night, but no one should be
alarmed, as it will prove grander than
disastrous. Our friends will remember
The tendency ofstorms TO whrl sudden
w back from the east, from about the
10Th to the 2Jth Of June. Showery con-
ditions are Liable during all that period.
and local twifls will repeatedly fly hack
after passing east, Unexpectedly taking
he starch from collars OF careless ana
unsheltered people. Heavier reactionaFy
Storms will pass eastward about 18th
to 10Th. and should the barometer not
rise, and The wind remain easteriy
to southerlv, series Of daily storms
will fill the intervening days up TO
the next period.
From the DIST to 25th, inclusive, we
will pass the turning point in our trip
around the sun, and start for shorter
DAYS aud longer nights. 1t will be
natural to expect some heavy storms,
with rain and much lightning and
thunder say about the 18th, 9th and
18th. Cooler weather will succeed
these storms, and regions that
are short of moisture at the end of this
period will have to contend with seri-
Gus drought. Reactionary disturbance
are cent!a, on the 29ih, with the full
moon and the equinox Of Mercury On
the same day. These combined causes
are sure to result in warm wave,
and some very active electrical
storms, with heavy local rains during
the two or three last days OF June.
The month will close with very cool
weather advancing from the West,
which condition will prevail in most
parts in the opening days Of July.

NJ. Scott of the Union Iron Works
of San Francisco, builders of the
coast defense battle-ship Monterey,
is now in this city. He emphati-
cally denies the truthfulness of the
statements concerning the vessel,
which were published yesterday.
Mr.. Scott says that after an ex-
haustive examination and trial of
different tubular boilers at the
Brooklyn Navy yard, under the
supervision of ex-Chief Engineer
Loring of the United States navy,
the Ward boilers were selected by
the Navy Department as the best.
Upon the trial of the Monterey
the highest steam pressure
on the Ward boilers was 175
pounds to the square inch, AID not
$50 pounds, as stated in the article
referred to. The pressure on Scotch
boilers was lessened by reducing
the valves between them and the
Ward boilers. Some slight repairs
were generally necessary after a
trial trip on account of the great
strain put upon the new machinery,
and in the case of the Monterey it
was necessary to tighten up some
tubes on the end of one of the
Scotch boilers and to put some new
CRATE bars in the furnace of the
Ward boilers. The Monterey is
ready to 60 to sea whenever any
such. order is received, Mr.. Scott
says.

Sensational Charges Concerning
the New Ship Monterey.
New York, March 16. The
Times says: 1t has been known
for some time in well-posted naval
circles, that the Navy Department
officials were using every resource
at their command to keep from the
public certain serious defects which
developed on the recent trial trip
of the new and costly coast defense
battle-ship Monterey, which defects
by closely approaching to acct
dents, came near affecting the life
of the ship.
Rigid orders were issued to all
officers present on the occasion of
the trial forbidding them to dis
close or make public what they
saw, and these orders prevented the
real facts of the case being gotten
at until this comparatively late
date.
The result of the official trial of
the Monterey disclosed the fact
that the Union Iron Works of San
Francisco, the builders of the yes
sci, would be compelled to forfeit
to the Government $4,000, and on
the occasion of the trial of the
Monterey the evident inability of
the vessel to develop the horse
power caused the contractors to
push the firing On the ward boilers.
After the vessel was cleared, the
officials of the Union Iron Works
made careful examination, and
that examination disclosed the fact
that the two magnificent Scotch
boilers lwere little better than
ruined by the heavy pressure put
upon them on the trial, and that
but for the prompt shutting off of
all steam they would have burst.
The Times says the Monterey,
unless provided with a couple of
new Scotch boilers, is practically
unfit for sea, and just what will be
done in her case no one at the
Navy Department appears to
know.
To replace the two boilers meant
an expense of more than $4,000,
and the contractors decided to
pocket the loss and let the disabled
boilers stand. In this condition
the Monterey exists to-day.

There are twenty well-built to WINS in

At Fargo $4,000 school house

ment to the bond-voting craze. A her.
der and his family constitute the sole
population of what was once an incor-
porated city. This is sad commen-
tary on unhealthy booms. Those Kan

themselves as phenomenal boom cit
les. For awhile everything was
lovely and the goose hung high" but
at last the dry rot took hold on the
boom towns and killed them.
