WHEAT FARMERS ARE SURPRISED.
Seed Is SprOuting Nicely After Lying In
the Ground For q Year.


the Ground For q Year.
TOPEKA, Oct. II. = Representative
Glenn, of Greeley. on the Colorado,
brings encouraging news from that
station. He says the new crop of wheat
sown last month, is looking fine and
is growing very rapidly, In many
fields it covers the ground. He says
the most surprising thing to the farm
ers of that region is that the wheat
sown on thousands of acres last year is
now coming up and promises a fine
crop. This wheat, he says, has laid in
the dry ground one year and the recent
heavy rains have caused it to sprout
and grow. Many farmers who were
unable to secure seed wheat now find
their fields green from the grain drilled
into the ground one year ago.

The Nineteenth Centennial.

Col. Peyton, Of Haddonfeld, N. J., the
father of centennials in this country, intends
to shortly work another, to be no less than the
celebration of the 18th centennial of the birth
and death of Jesus Christ, TO be held at Jerusa-
lem in the year 1900 The actual date he has
not considered, though two seasons are eligible,
Easter and Christmas. Col. Peyton was the
originator of the Bunker Hill Centennial in
1885, the Yorktown Centennial. in 1881; the
Centennial of American Independence. i'll 1876;
the Centennial of the Inauguration of Wash
ington, in 1856; the Centennial of the Admis-
sion of Kentucky into the Union, in 1892, and

Sailors suffering in siberia.

Louis A. Paradyce, n sailor, arrived at San
Francisco, Cal, March "a from China and he
tells story of horrible treatment in the Sbe-
rian convict prisons. He was a sailor on the
sealing schooner Mary II. Thomas, and. with
another sailor named Wilson. went ashore on
the coast of KamsRatka to fill water casks.
hurricane drove the schooner off and the men
were left ashore. They had no provisions and
travelled inland to camp of Russian soldiers.
They were seized and accuscd Of being spies.
They were sent to Carasock. convict station.
Paradyce tells of horrible cruelty inflicted on
the prisoners there. Wilson and myself were
roughly treated. There were about 5000 con-
who had disobeyed rules during the week were
given 30 lashes with the kncut. A woman about
to become a mother was knoutcd and three
hours later gave birth TO a dead child. Of6.00o
convicts in camp 1900 wore bail and chain.
Many men were too feeble to walk and were
dragged along by their companions. Soldiers
would prod them with bayonets to make them
move more quickly. The convicts were fed
with black bread and raw salt meat"
Finally, Paradyce aud Wilson were taken to
FladivostOck. From there they wero sent to
the Kara gold fields, 10 days journey. They
suffered frightfully from hunger and fatigue
Wilson gave out and had 10 be carried in a
wagon. The United States ship Marion arrived
at Vladivostock and tho officers were informed
by merchant named Smith of Paradyce and
Wilson's fate. The commander of the Marion
demanded that the prisoners be given up, and
after considerable delay this was done. They
were taken to Shanghai on the Marion and
placed ia hospital.

A Peculiar Cause of Death.

Dennis O'Leary, Of Bristol. Pa. who was re-
Gently buried, met his death in a very strange
way. He had just celebrated his 93d birthday,
and on meeting friend he was congratulated
on bis old and ripe age In shaking hands the
fngernail of the friend penetrated the ball of
the old mans hand drawing few drops of
blood and leaving an abrasion of the skin. No
attention was paid to this slight wound until
the muscles of the hand became very sore--so
sore, in fact, that the fingers could be bent
only with great difficulty. day later the
muscles of tue hand became rigid, and the
member began to swell. Black rings appeared
under the old mans fngernails, and the skin
on the back of his hand became notified. The
swelling increased from hour 10 hour until
0Leary's arm aud shoulders were twice their
normal SIZE and as the swelling grew the pain
Increased.
Medical aid, the best that couid be had, vas
summoned as soon as it appeared that the
wound was serious; but the blood poisoning
had advanced so far and so quickly that moth
ing could be done except to alleviate the great
suffering of the patient. On account Of his
extreme old age anputation of the arm or even
the hand would probably have proved fatal,
but before the physicians in attendance conld
finally decide upon a course the old gentlcman's
condition became so grave that an operation of
any kind was simply out of the question. His
death followed in short time.

Elliot r. Shenard Dead.

Col. Elliot F. Shepard, the proprietor of the
bril- and Express, died in New York, from the
effects of ether, on March "a. He was supposed
to be suffering from a stone in the bladder, and
the docio put him under the effects of ether
to determine whether or not this was so. I'M
ediateIy after administering the ether dan
gerous symptoms began to appear, and every
thing was done to restore him to consciousness,
but without avail. At the outbreak of the war
he was commissioned Abide Camp, with the
rank of Colonel, on the staff of New York s
great war Governor, E. d. Morgan. In 1868 he
married Marguerite Louise Vanderbilt, daugh-
ter of the late William II. Vanderbilt by whom
he had five children. Col. Shepard gave up his
law business in 1884, and after spending several
years in Europe purchased the NaH and Express
from the late Cyrus w. Field for $4,000. He
soon put the newspaper on a Furnishing basis,
and it has just moved into its handsome new
building at Broadway and Fulton street.

WHEN YOU WANT TO LOOK ON THE
BRIGHT SIDE OF THINGS, USE
SAPOL- %
The New York,s Trial Trip.

During her trial trip the cruiser proved her
self a very superior vessel and even exceeded
the contract stipulations. The trial was made
ut the expense of Cramp & Sons, the cOntrac-
tors, to see how the vessel worked, and her Off
cial trial will not come off for at least a month.
Capt. Sargent, who was in command of the
ship, said that in all his experiences he never
remembered trial trip in which he had not
to ring the engineer to slow down or stop for
something other, but from the time the
cruiser started to when she tied up to her wharf
not thing went wrong.
Edwin s. Cramp, who represented the firm
on board and had charge of the arrangements
for the trial, said yesterday that the New York
had surpassed the most sanguine expectations.
Without picked coal, with fremen who had
no previous experience of the furnaces and at
a deeper draft than she will have on her official
trial trip, the New York developed the extra
ordinary speed of 20l knots an hour. The cOa-
tract calls for 1881 revolutions. whereas the
engines worked up to 129 revolutions. Another
thing, we had only 1-inch air pressure, whereas
the contract allows for q inch.
AS for her steadinesS in spite of rolling
sea, a glass brimming full of water placed at
the heel OF the fore jackstay remained there for
one hour, and not drop was split. Other ve5-
sells were rolling and pitching, their sides aud
bows under, but beyond little spray over
the foredeck the New York was as dry as a
concusively proved by the trial, is that she is
easy 19l -kuot vessel, with natural draft, and
the engines showing 107 revolutions per min
ute. This speed was kept up in six runs, at
the measured miles, of q hours each run.
There no heating of bearings, scarcely any
vibration, TO loosening Of rivets, and no prim-
ing of boilers. So perfectly and smoothly did
tine machinery work that the same speed could
be kept up for "a hours, or week if need be.
The run under forced draft was three hours,
and that conclusively proved that she is an
easy 20-knot vessel. OF course with picked
frcrnen and with her weights in their proper
places she would easily exceed 201 knots.
Every one was surprised at the wonderful en-
durance of the engines.
The only thing done on board from the time
she started vas the drilling of small hole
through the steel deck to act as a drain for the
water which forced its way through the tor
pedo' tubes forward. These tubes are closed by
automatic shutters, but these were not fixed,
and temporary plug was fitted. This was
found not strong enough to resist the enormous
pressure as tie New York few through the
seas. Naval Constructor Nixon had water
tight bucklers put over the hole, and they kept
the water out.

"A Narrow Escape.

Duringa furious rainstorm in Montgomery
County. Ind. March %. meteor fell and came
very near hitting two men who were riding on
the road AS the two men were driving along
the road a bright light suddenly appeared, and
the men. looking around, SAW ball of white
FIRE coming toward them. 1t appeared TO be as
large as hogshead, and the light was binding.
The horses fell down with fright. and the ball
of fire passed so near the men that their hair
was singed, and they fell from the buggy to the
ground. One had leg broken, and the other
an arm. The meteor struck the ground about
100 feet from where the men lay, and imme-
diately there was loud report and the atmos-
phere was full OF smoke. The men managed
TO get to farmhouse. and it was seen shat there
is large hole made in the ground 10 feet deep.

DESTRUCTIVE BILLIARDS..
Immense Damage Reported in the Central

Immense Damage Reported in the Central
and Southern States.
During the past week there has been biz
Zard blowing over the central portion of the
country which has been very destructive. On
March "a cyclone swept over Tennessee. blew
down half of the State Penitentiary and de-
stroyed a two story brick house at North Nash
vile, killing two people and injuring family
of four. The damage at Nashville is estimated
to bc 100000; and at a suburban village
Derden) the entire place was obliterated. The
path Of the cyclone, which entered Tennessee
from Mississippi in n southwesterly direction
appears to have been 20 miles in width, al
though serious damage was confined to a much
smaller area. Word from Memphis says that
that City barely escaped. Aheavv rain fell and
a high wind blew at the time the cyclone ragged.
and it became as dark night for 80 minutes.
Heavy damage was done to trees and small out.
buildings
Late in the evening of the 24th the blizzard
struck Arkansas City, Kan. and changed tho
Spring-lke day into freezing weather 1t is
estimated that there are about $4,000 boomers
on the outskirts of the Cherokee Strip, and as
few of them have any protection other than
their wagons they must have experienced a
terrible time. The farmers on the border are
unable to assist them, for they have rs much as
they can do in looking out fer themselves. In
Kentucky the Louisville & Nashville Railroads
roundhouse was totally wrecked. and the ID
engines which were in the building are more
less damaged. No loss of life is reported,
but the loss financially is quite large. In IN
diana the damage was great, but fortunately
without any fatality. Fifty houses were
wrecked in indianapolis, and at Ynexdo many
small houses were blown away by piecemeal.
The Southern Indiana Insane Asylum was
damaged at Evansville. and the railroad suf-
fered some loss. Miles of fencing and thou
sands OF trees were Frustrated. The storm
passed from the southwest to northeast, fol-
lowed the track of the New Orleans & North
eastern Railway for considerable distance,
shutting off traffic over the road beyond Archi-
bald for several hours. In remote places East
and West it is thought incalculabe destruction
