EFFECTS OF THE WESTERN STORMS.

At the Offices of the Western Union Company de-
tails of the damages done By the storm In Indiana

WATER CARS IN USE.


The long continued dry weather in other
parts of the state Is causing trouble for
some of the railroads. and several of
them are now figuring very closely ON
their future water supply. In case there
are no heavy rains during the immediate
future there Is certain to be great annoy
ance during the summer.
beginning on the first of the month the
Wabash will put on II water train to Mo-
berly for the purpose of keeping the sup
ply of water at that point mp to the re-
quircd amount and unless there Is rain
soon there are water trains To be put on
in other parts of the system
Monday the company will begin the work
of boring an artesian well at Mohcrly. as
the surveys made AT that point convince
them that an enormous amount of water
can be secured at no great depth II il
the purpose of the company to bore at
least 900 feet If necessary. ana it is pre-
dictcd that an unlimited amount of water
will be found inside that depth. Owing
to the large amount of water that is con-
stantly required at that point, 1t is nee
essary. that the. supply, should be practi-
cally ineNhaustible and the first one of
the artesian wells is to be sunk there and
il is altogether probable that one will later
be put down at each of the important di-
vision points on the system.

COMPILING ASSESSMENTS.
Kansas Board OF Railroad Assessors Very
Busy.

Topeka, Kas., May 3.--(Special) The
state board of railroad assessors has COM
pleted the task of inspecting the railroad
property of the state and is now holding
daily meetings for the purpose of compil-
ing and equalizing the assessment. The
board refuses to make public any of the
figures. but 1t is understood that there has
been a radical increase in the assess
ment of the Missouri. Kansas & Texas and
Missouri Pacific properties. The assess
ment against these two companies made by
the Populist board was very much lower
than that of similar properties. 1t is also
known that the assessment upon Pullman
cars has been largely increased, while
upon the tourist sleepers 1t has been re-
duced. When the Populists came into pow
er they found valuation of $4,000 upon
each Pullman car running in the state,
which they reduced TO $1,000 at the same
time raising the valuation of tourist sleep
ers from 5000 to 5000 each. This action
of the Populsts cut big figure in the re-
cent campaign. 1t was charged that the
Populist state officers carried Pullman
passes and that the Pullman company had
given the entire administration free ex-
cursion to the worlds fair in return for
the low assessment. The Republicans
pledged themselves to increase the tax
upon the Pullman company and reduce it
upon the poor mans car, and they have
kept the pledge. ....
Representatives of all the railroads In
Kansas have asked the board for a hear
ing before the assessment shall be made
final, and the request has been granted.

BLEW FORTY MILES AN HOUR
HEAVY WIND ACCOMPANIES \ LOCAL
THUNDER STORM.
There Were Strong Tornado Tendencies at
the Gathering of the Storm hut
They Soon Died Away-More
Rain Promised.

Tornado pits were In great demand for
few minutes last night about o'clock. The
sudden appearance of huge green cloud in
the Southwest, heralded by Il fierce wind
which swept and howled about the city
gave omnous evidence of tornado troubles
The wind was almost up to the hurricane
limit, and the cloud had all the appear
ances of the cloudbursts which sometimes
wipe out villages in the West.
The storm rose with great rapidity, and
died out almost as rapidly, 1t was the Sc
quel to a day of unseasonably hot weather.
While there We're slight evidences as early
as o'clock that atmospheric disturbances
We're imminent, 1t was not until nearly 6
o'clock that they became threatening. Then
the air was suddenly filed with sand and
dust, and the brilliant flashes of lightning
played from behind the cover of the yellow
cloud. The wind increased in velocity up
TO its highest rate within five minutes but
the storm burst with a copious shower,
and the dangerous symptoms went away
before S o'clock.
Assistant Weather Observer G.. G. Coup
said last night that the storm was purely
local, and no precipitation was noticed any
where excepting trace at Wichita. The
velocity of the wind at the height of the
storm was forty miles per hour, which is
the highest reached for several years eX-
cept, on two occasions, August, 81 and
being ffty-two miles per hour, The storm
center last night was in the region of the
Dakotas The maximum temperature yes
terday was 80 deg, the highest by deg. of
any day of the year. on March rs the Their
mometer registered Ss deg, The mean tenn
perature yesterday was rs deg, while the
mean for the same day for the past several
years has been only 81 deg.
Rainfall has been quite general over
Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota and
Kansas during, the past week, but in Mis-
souri, rainfall has been very light, except
locally and in the regions of st. Joseph
The tornado conditions during the past
week have been very marked, but as two
weeks of high temperature rarely follow
consecutively: the coming week viii likely
day will probably be fair and much cooler

Grated intermediate freight rate, which
would be OF benefit to Wichita, but at
present they did not see how that could
be arranged. All the sugar, rice and
coffee that Is now shipped via Galveston
Is almost entirely foreign grown, and II,
on account of supposed raise in the
Galveston rate.t these commodities should
be shipped via New Orleans, where
would Wichita derive any benefit?
The arguments of the attorneys al the
conclusion of the testimony were brief
and to the point. Mr.. Douglass thought
that, as Wichita is the most important
Wholesale point In Kansas, her mer-
chants should receive the same consid-
GRAFTON from the railroads that other
cities have Notwithstanding the natural
disadvantages of her geographical loca-
tion. He wants Wichita's interests up
held. The railroad attorneys all main
tained that if any further cut was made
In the Kansas rates It would seriously
affect the actual existence of the rail-
roads In that state, and while they
hoped for an amicable settlement OF the
much mooted question, they did not see
how 1t could be adjusted in manner
satisfactory to both parties, Wichita
and the railroads.
The case to-day wherein Omaha will
endeavor to convince the commerce
commissioners that they are entitled to
lower freight rate will attract large
crowd of business men, as Ii deals vi
tally with Kansas City and her inter-
ests. The session will convene at half
past Q.
Mr.. J. f. Richards. of the hardware
firm of Richards & Conover, testified to
some interesting facts regarding the
shipment of freight on the boats OF the
Missouri River Transportation Com
pany before the Interstate commerce
commission yesterday. He said that the
shipments were mostly of a fourth and
fifth class character but that the com
pany did not hesitate to take on board
any freight that was offered. At one
time a consignment of 5000 barrels of
sugar was taken from the New Orleans
boats at st. Louis and brought TO Kan
sas City at a rate of 10 cents per 100
pounds. He recalled with much pleas
ure the large profit resulting from the
trip, and said that If the transportation
could control fair share of
the shipments from st. Louis the boats
would be again placed in operation at
some future day. The company has
sufficient funds in the bank to resume
business at any time. and when 1t re-
ceived assurance that the present rate
would not be dissipated it might at any
time decide to resume business. AS the
rate now stands, Mr.. Richards claimed,
the river transportation company could
easily make more than operating ex-
penses. He came to Kansas City in 1857
and paid so cents per 100 to have his
on a packet, and the rate Is now almost
as much as 1t was then.
The a. l.. Mason that was sunk In the
in January, 1894, was so
a wreck that no effort had
ever been made to raise her.
