Mayor Carney. of Topeka, has sign.
ed city ordinance which is . copy
of the Murray liquor law. with sew
eral additions and notifications, max

The first tornado or tw;stcr of the
season occurred in Alabama, the Sec
ono one in Kansas, and the third, and
last one. up to date. in Iowa. The
one in Iowa was the most destructive
of life and property, the Alabama
twister came second in these respects.
and the Kansas storm. though in fa'
tality the greatest save one ever oc'
curing in the State-was the least OF
the three, yet the Eastern press is
holding ont the impression that oil
the cyclones of the year have been in
Kansas and that thousands of people
were victims. Statistics show as few
cyclones in this as most other States.

six inches on the level. For miles on
a stretch not leaf was left on the
trees in the path of the storE. while
vcgetab lcs and corn were cut into rib
bons and totally destroyed. The
damage to crops generally was NEST
severe.
