Asylum was razed to the ground. Dr. J. T. Ingate was killed outright and two inmates killed Several were badly hurt and others are miss ing. The damage to the asylum is estimased at $l00,OOO
 The wholesale district on East Markham street was almost laid low.
 The roof was blown off the c. F. Penzel Grocer Company, and the house and stock deluged with water. The new Dickinson Hardware Com pany was also uncovered and the stock deluged. The roof of the Dud- ley E. Jones building was carried away and heplace filled with water. The Carl X Tobey Company building was also badly damaged, and every building on that street suffered se- verely from the storm.
 The tornado extended up Main to Fourth street, and every building in the path of the cyclone was more or less damaged.
 The Gazette and Democrat offices were also slightly damaged. In sum- ming up the damage of thestorm the Gazette says:
 '"Fhe damage by last nights cy- clone will not fall short of $l ,000.000 That was the figure agreed upon by many business men who surveyed the scene of the disaster last night. The State of Arkansas will lose not less than $100,000. The loss on build ings and the damage done to the stocks of merchants will hardly fall short of $900000. The destruction of plate and other glass is quite an item itself Many buildings were so badly damaged that it will be neces- sary to tear them down, and in cases of this kind the loss is n total one. There are very few persons doing business on Main north of Third and Markham streets that did not suffer some loss. The disaster is a ealam- ity to the entire city, and wherever a helping had is needed to assist a sufferer it will not be withheld.'

Much Destruction Done Outbui1dings,
 Shade Trees and Signs.
 EMPoRIA, Kan, Oct 3.-This and other western Kansas towns were wis ited by storm of cyclonic proportions Monday evening. As far as s,known no ia talities are found.
 Photographic communication has been shut off, however, and it is feared when the wires finally come up reports of much damage, perhaps loss of life, will be received from the small outlying towns.
 The storm struck Emporia about T o'clock and in half an hours time had done thousands of dollars damage. In all parts of the city outbuildings were toppled over, trees and shrubbery up rooted, signs and fences demolished and much minor damage done.
 Strong City suffered a like fate.
 The storm came from the west, creat- ing damage throughout and shutting that portion of the state off by wire communication.

HELD UP
BY A CITY MARSHAL AT MALVERN.
The Beesie BonehnI Company Badly Treated by an Officer at
 That Town.

Several members of the Bessie Ronehill company, which appeare l at the Opera-house last night, told several citizens as bad treatment which they had been subjected to at Malvern yesterday, which is nothing less than robbery under the guise of law. The company had played the previous night in Hot Springs and were en route to Pine Bluff to fill their engagement here. They had come down to Malvern on the Hot Springs road and were waiting at that place for the Iron Mountain train. With nothing to do they amused themselves as best they could. Some of the members thought it a good plan to while away the time would be to play "quoits." One of them drove a little peg in the ground and then they begun to pitch silver dollars at it. They were playing for amusement solely and there was no gambling whatever, but the shining silver sheekles ex- cited the cupidity and avarice of the City Marshal or Constable, who happened to be near, and who was ever watchful of an opportunity to increase the emoluments of his office, so he immediately arrested the par. ties and refused to release them until they had paid fine of $10 each As the arrested membersof the company had no time to go into court, they submitted to the outrage, paid their fine, took the train and came to Pine Bluff.
 It is such proceedings as these that give Arkansas a bad name among strangers and people abroad.

He came from his office up Second to Center, thence north on Center to Eighth, west on Eighth to Spring, thence home. He said that the rear end of the Board Of Trade building was wrecked, the upper story of the G. F. Baucum building blown down and the upper story of T. H. Jones building blown down.
 The streets from his office to his home were bIockaded with parts oi wrecked buildings. Mir. Dyal reached his home safely and finding all well came back down town--Ga- zette.

 Wind and Rain.
SEVERAL PERSONS ARE KILLED.

The Missouri Pacific Railroad Depot

 by Lightning Damage In the City
 Will Reach $5UO0o.
 WICHITA, Oct. 3.-For 90 years Wichita has felt easy about cyclones on account of an Indian legend which said none ever visited or would ever visit it. The legend as well as the popular sense of security was burst Monday night when a raincloud from the west came in con tact with stormcloud from the south, both at once fused and proceeded to ''do business"
 The Eighteenth street depot of the Missouri Pacific railroad was the first building struck and it was completely demolished, the roof striking the stable of Dr. Hupps, two blocks away, crush ing 1t like an eggshell. Twelve men were in the building at the time and, strange to say, none of them were hurt. The were thrown about from one end to the other.
 The storm passed east about mile, accomplishing all It's destruction in less than two minutes. About 30 houses and barn5 were wrecked and probably 300 shade trees were pulled up by the roots and strewn, about in all directions.
 The path of the cyclone was about 50 feet wide. Three children were hurt and three men were reported killed. but their names could not be ascertained Owing to the terrific wind which ac- companied rhe storm it is impossible to ascertain the full extent of the damage.
 Lightning struck little boy named Fitzgibbons and killed him. Lightning also struck the Fifteenth street depot and car stables of the electric railway company and completely consumed it with all iss contents before the fire de- partment could dc anything for it. The Fairmount electric street railway wires were completely destroyed. Roughly estimated the loss in this city will be $5o.0oo. It may exceed that sum great

A SHORT STORY OF THE CYCLONE.

At 7:35 o'clock last night the city of Little Rock was struck by ey- clone, which left death and destruc- tion in it's wake. Nearly million dollars worth of property was de- stroyed, a number of lives were lost and many people injured.
 The storm came from the south west and swept nearly everything in it's path. Roofs, signs and trees were torn away and number of substantial brick buildings were either demolished or badly damaged. The path of the cyclone was not over POO feet wide and it followed a wormieular course. The tornado was preceded by a brief but heavy rain. After the storm had sub- sided, says the Gazette "the rain poured down in almost torrent for nearly a half hour. This was fol- lowed by a brilliant electrical dis play, accompanied by loud peals of thunder, which was continued for over an hour. At 9:30 o'clock the rain ceased to fall, and in the down town district there was q scene of excitement never before witnessed in this city,
 THE DAMAGE.
 The second and third stories of the aiming hall, chapel and shop build ing at the State Penitentiary were totally demolished. One convict was killed and nine badly injured. LOSS, about $20. 1000.

Party Dresses for Girls.

Party dresses for little girls are quite
as attractive as the childish beauties
of the little wearers deserve. The
main idea on which the small maiden's
party dress" is built is a low-necked,
short-sleeved slip of silk, over which
is draped gauze, tulle, chiffon, or mus
lin, tine skirt and bodice being made in
one in the silk slip, the skirt either
made full or faring, in nine-gored
shape. If there is muslin worn over
this. it is mass of frills, high in the
neck, the sleeves coming down to the
wrists and the whole enriched with
beautiful needlework. Lace and body
ribbon are also used in the production
of elaborate effects.

PRETTY BED SPREADS.
Charming Patterns Which Arc Delight

ing Good Honsekeepcrs.
A pretty spread may be made with
series of squares of linen worked in a
pattern resembling tiles White linen
is often used for these spreads, but
quite as pretty are some of the tinted
fabrics so popular now-pale blue,
green or fraise for example-such as
may be worked with white flax thread
and trimmed with torchon lace and in
sertion. The size of the larger squares
depend in great measure upon that Of
the spread, and they may be made oil
exactly in the same or in different maa-
ner, according to fancy.
These squares are connected with
bands of insertion, and these are fin
ished with tiny squares of linen en-
broidered to match the rest. A deep
frill of lace should be carried round the
edges. Some workers make coverlets
such as this of series of linen doy-
leys, such us may be bought ready
traced at the shops. Instead, too, of
connecting them with bands of inser-
ton, pretty effect may be obtained
by using them alternately with squares
of drawn threadwork, guipure dart,
or fine crochet. The frill round the
edges, of course, must correspond.
Another pretty bed spread may be
made of a square of tinted linen bor-
dered all round with broad hem
(about five inches wide) of a second
color. Partly on the center and partly
on the hem should be traced a flowing
pattern to be worked in white flax
thread, and in the center should be
traced colossal initial or monogram.
Other spreads may be made OF Gre
tonne, the design being accentuated
and partly filled in with stitches of col
ored silk and perhaps an outlining of
tinsel. Large tassels of parti-colored
threads should be sewn on at intervals
along the sides.-Chicago Mail.

Directions for Making Ono with Tele-

There are many of our young read
ers who have heard the sweet tones of
an @olian-harp, but when they attempt
to make one they find the principal
difficulty seems to be that the noise of
the wind deadens the music of the
harp There is solution of this prob
lem. Below we give draught of an
structed of the best-seasoned pine one
eighth of an inch thick, and free from
knots and checks. The top and bottom
measure 21x6 inches, the sides 2x23&
inches, the ends 2x6 inches. In the
center of the upper board saw out a
circle inches in diameter. This
opening allows the vibrations, or
sound-waves, to escape from the box.)

measuring 5Ix2x1xN inch, shape it

Evolution of White Custards.

At coolling-school lecture, the
teacher demonstrated the evolution Of
some white custards that should go
down to posterity. They are made as
follows: Break the whites OF four eggs
into small teacupful of granulated
sugar, mixing thoroughly, but not
beating the eggs Into this is stirred,
gradually, pint and half of rich
milk, previously heated thoroughly,
but neither scalded nor boiled. The
mixture should be quite smooth before
being put into the cups; if not, it
should be strained. Place the cups in
a pan of water and cover with thick
brown or buttered paper to prevent
their coloring. They should be quite
white when done. Bake in amoderate
oven
