FIELDS OF GRAIN.
Laid Low Before the Blast of the
Cyclone.

Laid Low Before the Blast of the
Cyclone.
Kansas City, Mo, July S.-Reports
of the storm during the past three
days show the entire eastern water
shed and the Rocky Mountains to the
Nebraska and Iowa lines and TO Texas
were swept away. On Friday night.
the severest blow came. Fields of grain
that promised the most bountiful
yield of many years were swept bare
of vegetation. The seas of rain were
abetted in the work of destruction by
tOrnadoeS. 1t is too early yet to sum
up the loss, but the total is appalling,
and those to whom the angry elements
spared life have little left to sustain IL.
The stories of the storm are SO SINH
lar that a statistical summary is all
there is left TO tell.
The storm focus embraced an area
of 200 square miles with the south
western corner of Missouri as a CEN
ter. the greatest loss of life is report
ed from WinOna. where eleven corpses
have been found with as many more
missing. AT Baxter Springs, IN south
western Kansas, five were killed and
eleven seriously injured by the cy-
clone that accompanied the storm.
One person was drowned at Columbus
and two at Ottowa, Kansas. At Van
Buren,. Ark, a mother and babe were
drowned. A family OF five was en-
camped on the banks Of Fish Creek,
Indian Territory. Nothing of them or
their belongings were found except
part of a wagon on pile of drift
wood. At Thomasville, Mo, where the
rainfall was four inches in one hour,
five persons were lost. Unconfirmed
''@-~@r+S are received of loss Of life as
follows:
-..ree at Fayetteville, Ark; one at
Paoia, Kan; one at Richards, Kan;
six of a hunting party in Indian Ter
ritory. This gives the known and
probable loss OF ,thirty-four lives.
This total will be increased when the
receding water permits thorough
search.
The loss of property can be placed
in the millions. Dwellings, fences and
farm houses were carried off and
highway and railroad bridges swept
away Thirty Of eighty buildings in
Winona succumbed. Five residences,
church and warehouse went down at
Baxter Springs. Six bridges went out
in Russell county, Kansas. About

itself in Illinois. but having lost its
force, proved d blessing to the crops.
The above summaries are only d
fraction of the loss of property. The
greatest burden falls upon the farm
ers as the season is too far spent TO
plant new crops. The country's
eranary has been cleared out. The
details of individual suffering and eX-
periences would fill volumes and re-
peat the horrors of the Johnstown

When the crew returned to their
quarters after their afternoon spin
they looked much brighter.
Two policemen are guarding the
Cornell boat house tonight. Tomor-
row the crew will paddle in the racing
boat to the start, and then VIII take

them to the starting point.
Commenting on this arrangement,
Courtney remarked:
This insures avoidance Of the
crowds which line every inch of the

excite the boys. Once seated in the
boat, they will not notice anything
else. According to present arrange

Butte, Mont, July 5.-The prelimln-
airy trial Of 4. a. Sloan and William
McMahon today developed a gigantic
forgery scheme, affecting bankers and
merchants in nearly every large city
in the United States. The two men
were arrested several weeks ago, when
they presented themselves at one of
the banks in this city and attempted
to collect $50 on a contract for an
advertisement in a publication called
"Laird's Industrial Gazette"
The bank rejected the contract as a
forgery.
on the men were found hundreds of
similar contracts bearing the alleged
signatures of various merchants and
mining companies. Some of the sigma
lures were 80 well executed that their
owners could not dispute them. At
the trial today a copy of the alleged
Gazette was produced and found to
be al old book with the advertise
ments for which the contracts We're
supposed to be given pasted in. The
address of the publishing house is
given as 81 to So Geld street, New York
How the men secured the signatures
of the merchants is unknown,
They have alleged advertisements of
firms in Chicago, st. Louis, Denver
Omaha, Salt Lake, Spokane, San Fran
cisco, Helena and many other cities,
and estimated to represent over $780,
& Oo.
- When the men were first arrested,
ttS,.elegram was received from New York
signed The Laird Company" stating
that the men were all right, and that
the company was responsible. Since
then nothing has been heard from

Ardrnore, I. T., July S.-A terrific
electrical rain and wind storm swept
over this section about 9 o'clock last
night, doing great damage. In certain
localities the force Of the wind equalled
a tornado. The main force Of the storm
seems to have spent itself about Is
miles southeast, and near Marietta, 1.
T., where number of houses were
blown down. Bob Braviles' house was
blown from over the heads of him
self and family and they had {. narrow
escape One Hudson was killed by
lightning at Bob station, twenty miles
south of here. Corn fields, buildings
and fences were laid low. A full ac-
count OF the damage at this hour can
not be ascertained on account of the
wires being Frustrated.

Much Damage to Live Stock and
other Property.

Springfield, No, July S.-A severe
electric rain storm swept along James
river and as far south as Ozark last
night. Live stock was killed by the
wind and lightning and the crops
badly damaged by the storm. Three
houses at Sparta were destroyed by
lightning.
The reports Of the flood at Winona,
Mo-, published heretofore, are now
known to have told only part Of the
horrors of the disaster. Owing to the
fact that Winona is in a mountainous
region, almost inaccessible by wagon.
and that the railway is. washed away,
news of the flood is hard to obtain.
Railway connections will be established
this afternoon by running a train on
either end of the river branch of the
Kansas City. Fort Scott & Memphis
road, but it will be several days before
the gap can be closed up in the road.
Several officials of the railway and
other parties left for Winona on a
special train thir morning to render
all assistance POSSIBLE TO the flood
stricken people.
The bodies of Rev. C. ". Duncan and
daughter Matte and Miss Norma New
ms were found under a large drift Of
broken timbers about a mile below
Winona, and also the body of an IN
known man stopping at one of the
hotels.
A terrible stencil arises from the
mass of hogs, horses. cattle and other
animals drowned. It is charged that
some visitors are stripping bodies of
everything of value.
For several miles below Winona may
be seen wagons and household goods
of all kinds and dead animals. Over
two hundred persons were searching
yesterday for bodies. The body O.
George Evans daughter was found
this forenoon. The body Of Lloyd
Wright's daughter is still missing

WHEN SHE WON'T she WON'T.
The Old Saw Graphically illustrate
ed in Chicago.

Chicago, July S.-Mrs. Lizzie Cottier,
of Washington, was today sentenced
to six months in jail for contempt of
court in refusing to disclose the
whereab bouts OF her daughter, Flor
ence.
Mrs. Cottier is the Washington stem
ographer. who, i'll 1888. after placing
her daughter in hiding, told the Buff
falo police that the child had been
drowned. Her husband, Alonzo Cottier
wealthy Chicagoan, had attempted
during the hearing of the divorce
case. to regain possession of the child,
and Mrs. COttier was ordered by the
court TO tell where her daughter is
hidden. This she refused to do. Mrs.
Cottier dramatically declared that she
could not, no matter what the penalty,
disclose her daughters whereabouts,
as she believed the girl would be in
jured should her father find her.
Late this afternoon Judge Payne
granted an appeal in the case, and
Mrs. Cottier was released on bail pend
ing the decision.

HAS WHEELS.
Lawson, of Georgia, Shows Decided
GOld-bug TendeI@cies.

Gold-bug TendeI@cies.
Atlanta, Ga, July S.-Hon. Thomas
G.. Lawson, of the Eighth Georgia
district, is out in a lengthy interview
in the Journal this afternoon, which
will probably furnish the political
sensation of the week in the state.
Judge Lawson is one of the ablest
members of the Georgia delegation,
and brought himself to the front
during the last Congress by a speech
in favor of the repeal of the 10 per
cent. tax on state banks.
In his interview, Judge Lawson de-
clares for bimetallism set forth by
the ,ast national Democratic Flat
form, but asserts:
The free coinage of silver at the
ratio of IL 10 i by our government
alone would in a short time result in
silver recommendation; that is, we
would have no coin money in circula-
tion, and no paper money except
paper redeemable in silver.
IF we cannot have binetailisu in
accordance with our national plat
form, I prefer the single gold stand
ard to the single silver standard"
The ideal money system, he thinks,
would be where there were free coin
age of both metals, with either being
legal tender, the people being privi-
legged TO take their choice.
Judge Lawson says:
The south is not yet in a condition
to profit by the silver standard We
are not manufacturing people. a
prohibitory tariff and everything that
is equivalent to it in its operation is
detrimental to our prosperity But
the silver standard would inevitably
operate precisely as prohibitory
tariff. The value of our silver coins
would sooner or later decline to their
bullion value. The price Of foreign
goods would be so high, when valued
in our currency, that wealthy people
only could afford to buy and use
them

on the ground that the question in
