An Electrical Storm.

WICHITA. KAN. April 1.-THE entire
southwest, including southern Kansas, Okla
homa and the Panhandle of Texas. witnessed
not only terri bly, damaging to the crops. but
1t was peculiar FOR the fact that it produced
such an electrificatio: of the air that nearly
everything susceptible became charged with
electric ty. In the western part of h coun-
ty, Oklahoma, and the Panhandle, Egyptian
darkness prevailed.
Such a peculiar storm has seldom been
seen and the superstitious thought the astrO-
nomica! conditions which, it is said, are
now repeating themselves for the first time
since the death of Christ, had something to
do with it.
The rain that fell in western Oklahoma
was actually shower Of sand.

What the Chief Justice Will Do.
It 10 understood at Atchison that Judge
Horton, who has resigned as chief justice,
did 30 that be might join the law firm Of
Wageener i Orr, from which FRI he With
drew on his appointmen t as chief justice in
1877. As member of the firm be would
be associated with Hon. Bailie Wag9ener.
general attorney of the Missouri Pacific
road.
There was q rumor current some time
ego to the effect that Justice Horton was
about to resign to become attorney for the
Union Pacific to succeed Senator John NJ.
Thurston, of Nebraska, the only foundation
for which seems to have been that Judge
Horton was even then entertaining propo-
sition from the Missouri Pacific. It is be.
lieved that if Judge Horton does not come
to Atchieon he will 60 to the law depart
ment of the Missouri Pacific at st. Louis.
The salary of the chief justice is 5000 per
year and it il said that Judge Horton .
future business will yield him a return OF
about four times that amount annually.

ExiIeS Jubilant.

New YORK. April IA special dispatch
to the World from Kingston, Jamaica. says:
The Cuban exiles are jubilant over news
they receive from Cuba.
Between ten and fifteen thousand insur-
gents were under arms at lat st accounts,
tretting the Spanish forces with skirmishes
and not attempting any military operations.
They are we'll armed and we'll supplied with
money and provisions. As has been already
explained, the plans of the revolution for
the present are to have the forces so scat
tered all over the island as to keep the Span.
ish busy at widely distant points and be.
wilder them.
General Gomez. one of the real leaders, 10
either now in Cuba or on the eve of getting
there. When he is ready the real war for
independence will begin. With his center
at Santa Clara and province around that
readily lends itself to military preparations.

Wichita County Protests

wichita County Protests.
ToFEKA, April 1.-THE dispatch which
appeared in Associated Press and special
dispatches from this city recently. which
stated that the bonds of Wichita county. to
the amount Of $4,000, now in the stats
school fund, were worthless. 10 earnestly
protested against BY the county officers OF
that county.
County Clerk W. S. Place has written a
letter to the Capital in which he says that
the amount of the interest on the bonds has
been sent to the fiscal agency in New York
and that the state treasurer has been notified
con corning the payment there.
This is where the discrepancy arises. No
notice OF any such payment has ever been
received by the state treasurer, and the off,
GERS have not received any response to the
letter sent out November y, 1894. to Wich-
ita county officers containing the coupons
and the accompanying statement of the
amount CT $l.O5O due as semi-annual inter.
est on the abJve bonds and payable January
l, 1895.
The bonds are held by the state treasurer
and the fiscal agency of the state in New
York has nothing to do with them or tho
intere-t. Tho matter can now be easily ad-
justed and the report of repudiated bonds
in WIGHT. county will be effectually dis.
pute6 and proven to be an error when the
officers of Wichita notify the fiscal agency
that they desire credit of the above amount
as interest on the bonds The state treas
erer will then receive notice that the interest
has been paid, can make due entries of the
credit and remove the suspicion of repudia-
ton.
