down COMES THE RAIN
Town in Kansas Almost Wiped
Out of Existence.
NOT A PERSON WAS INJURED
Glass Broken, Roofs Blown Off and
Stocks of Goods Soaked
With Water.

Ottawa, Kas., Sept. 9.-Gridley, a town
of 400 people on the Santa Fe southwest
| Of here, suffered the total destruction of
many of its best buildings by last night s
storm, while hardly structure in the
place escaped injury. 1t is believed NOT
one was seriously hurt.
About three o'clock yesterday a storm
of wind and rain burst on the town from
the northwest. The wind was what was
known as straight blow and its mis-
chief was mainly confined to the unroof-
ing of buildings. A downpour of rain i'm
mediately followed and amounted to a
deluge, IL inches of water falling in an
incredibly short time. The rain completed
the destruction that had not been accom-
p.ished by the wind and in few minutes
every stock of goods had been soaked
and the household possessions of most of
the inhabitants were in the same con-
dition.
Strange to say, with all of the falling
roofs and walls and flying debris, that
broke windows far and near, not a per-
son of the town reported more than the
merest scratch of an injury. A great
deal of damage is feared in the contig-
uous country. One farm house half
mile from town was completely destroyed
and one inmate, supposed to be Mrs.
Clara Massie, was fatally hurt.
Thousands Of rabbits and small game
are congregated on portions of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas railway tracks
above the high water mark and many
are run over by the cars, while others
take to the water. The railroad track is
under water at places never known to be.
AS far as can be learned only one casual
ty occurred in Hartford, where Mrs
Elizabeth Henry was badly injured by
the house she was in blowing down.

CHARLES ERoHMlAN.

theatrical writer calls attention to
Charles Frohman as a mere theatrical
speculator, species of shark that gob-
b,es whatever is large and obvious In the
open sea; manager whose mental peril
meter includes nothing that is not mer-
cenary, and to whom the artistic per-
ception Is so blunted as TO be qure fiat
The writer who makes these statements
arrests attention. He dribb,es words. To
any one that has paid any serious at
tention to theatrical affairs In this coun-
try within the last few years-ln fact,
ever since Charles Frohman made his
first success with SHENANDOAH must
be perfectly clear that he has done more
than any one else to ferti.ize our drama
and to put forward actors whose latent
ability he was abe to detect. He has
furnished a striking contrast to some
other prominent managers who, as
matter Of fact, are shipping merchants
and transportation agents for stars whose
regulations were made before these man
ayers secured their services. Mr.. Froh-
man is a speculator In that he banks on
a conviction and bases a campaign on his
Judgment, but 1t Is worth nothing at the
same time that he Is continually on the
alert for talent whether Ii has prestige
or has not yet been app.auded. He plays
playwrights for plays yet to be written.
He spends thousands Of dollars on seen
cry before 1t has been demonstrated by
the verdict Of a first night audience that
the play is a success. 1t Is acknowledged
by such men as Bronson Howard, Henry
Guy Carleton, Henry Arthur Jones ana
Victorien Sardou that his Judgment with
regard to dramas both fine and subtle,
and by the most accomplished actors with
whom he comes in contact in the re-
hearsal OF a play, that his personal ac-
comp,lshments In illustrating the slgnlf-
canoe underlying a fine are amazingly
graphic and obviously true. Why not
salute a man who. in Napoleonic fashion,
opens up new roads while some other
managers are stroklng their whiskers ana
pausing to reflect.

She wit messed the battle of Fredericktown. and when the struggle was over ministered to the dead and dying
 This was her first sight of the horrors of war, but it did not daunt her, and she followed the army, witnessing nu merous battles aud caring for the wounded without discrimination be- tween the blue and the gray.
