were injured, one of them proba bly,
fatally, and thousands of dollars
worth of damage was done here and
in this vicinity by Sunday nights
storm, which proved to be one of the
worst experienced here for years. The
storm began at about IL o'clock. the
rain came down in torrents, fully
inches falling within a few hours
time. At the height of the rain
storm a strong wind came up, develop
ing almost the proportions of tor
nado. Half dozen buildings on Main
street were more or less badly wrecked,
while on the outskirts of the town,
barns, windmills, chimneys and out
houses were destroyed. The greatest
confusion prevailed in the city and
many people were struck by flying
timbers or caught by falling walls
So far as known four persons were
badly injured. One of these may die.
In the country the damage was quite
as severe. Not barn or a windmill
was left standing in the track of the
storm, while fields were flooded and
great damage done to corn and oats.
Several cars were blown from the
Santa Fe tracks and other minor dam

GRAND ARMY FUNERALS.
Kain Removes the Ban Placed
Them by Some Priests.


ST Louis, July Archbishop Kahn,
Of the Roman Catholic diocese of st.
Louis. has made decision that removes
the ban placed by some priests on
Grand Army funerals. Under his rul-
ing members of the q. a. K. attending
funerals may enter the church wearing
their uniforms and insignia, and may
conduct funerals in accordance with
their ritual in Catholic cemeteries.
Controversies on this subject have
been frequent within the past
few years The question assumed
such proportions that some of the
leading officers and members of the G..
A. r. decided that an understanding
between the church and the order
should be reached, that the veterans
might know how to govern themselves.
A copy of the G. A. X. burial service
was handed to Archbishop Kahn for in
spection. The result was that his
grace wrote n letter, which is now said
to be in possession of a member of
Ransom post, in which he decides the
matter in a manner satisfactory to the
Grand Army.

CONVENTIONS LIKELY.
Belief That Candidates for Kansas Chic,
Justice Must BE Nominated.

TOPEKA, Kan, July s.-Although the
men who control the state republican
and democratic party organizations are
anxious to avoid the necessity of con.
ventions to nominate candidates for
the office of chief justice to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation o.
Chief Justice Horton. the belief is
growing that conventions must be
held Such is the view John w.
Breidenthal and his associates o.
the populist state central committee
take and the Australian ballot law
of 1898 seems to bear them out This
provides that candidates may be put
before the people by convention or
by petition. Vacancies caused by
death or declination may be filed in
the same way or by the regularly au-
thorized committee of political party.
No provision is made for an origina
nomination by committee.
