THREE FUNNEL CLOUDS.
They wreaked Devastation at TIE Home

They Wreaked Devastation at IKE Home
of william stO1tz in Nebraska.
STELLA, Neb., June 1s.-One of the
worst tornadoes ever seen in Richard
son county visited the home of Will
lam Stoltz, four miles southwest of
this place at $50 p. M. The storm was
first seen when about one mile south,
where three funne1-shaped clouds
came together and formed one. 1t
did not strike the ground until within
a few rods of the west side of
Mr.. Stoltz' grove. 1t took every
thing in its path, and
after the storm passed nothing
could b seen of the barn. two corn
cribs, ndmi1l and granary, except a
pile of broken timbers. 4 mule, W ich
was standing in the barn, was picked
up and carried thirty rods and disem-
boweled. A fine mare was in ured so
badly that she had to be shot; about
600 bushels of grain were scattered to
the four winds, and 200 chickens were
killed; one live chicken and six dead
were found, after the storm, half
mile east of the farm. Three wagons
and one buggy were entirely demol-
ished, and not enough could be found
to make one vehicle.
Mr.. Stoltz, his wife and six children
were in the cellar when the storm
struck the house. The shingles were
torn off and all the windows on the
east side were broken. AS the house
stood in the edge of the storm, this
was the extent of damage. The fine
orchard is a total wreck and all the
fencing and other improvements are
entirely demolished. Mr.. Stoltz's loss
is about 200, partly covered by in
surance.
A special from Denison, Iowa, says:
About $3.50 o'clock a heavy wind storm
passed over this county and at places
assumed tornado proportions. There
is scarcely yard in Denison that is
not strewn with trees and branches.
Residences are pretty we'll shattered,
fences and outbuildings blown over,
and windows and doors blown in. A
barn belonging to Squire Bond, just
east of town, was moAed and three
valuable cows killed by lightning.
The storm was worse about eight miles
west, in Paradise township, near Kin
wood. The house of John Rose was
demolished, and Mrs. Rose has died
from injuries received. Mr.. Rose had
his shoulder dislocated. Their baby
was carried some distance from the
house, but was found, wrapped in a
quilt, unhurt.

GREEDY GERMANY.
She is Now After an Island Off
Venezuela.
It is Wanted for Use as a Naval
Station.
MAY BECOME SERIOUS.
United States May be Called On
to Interfere.

WASHINGTON, June 1s.-There is
reason to believe the United States
government will have occasion at no
distant day to give another interpre-
tation of the Monroe doctrine as APP
plicable to the requisition of an island
off the coast of Venezuela, to be used
by Germany as a naval station. The
attention of officials recently has been
directed to the interests of Germany
in that locality, and there is appre-
hension that the subject may assume
quite as formidable an aspect as that
of British aggression on Venezuelan
soil.
An enormous amount of German cap
ital has been invested in Venezuela of
late under peculiar circumstances The
government wanted railroad through
a rich and productive valley, and
German syndicate stood ready to build
the road on condition that Venezuela
would guarantee per cent on the cap
ital invested. The guarantee was given
and the road built and put into opera
ton about eight months ago. At the
outset it was supposed about 81, OOO, 900
would amply cover the cost of the
road, but the actual supply reached
about So, 900, 900. By the terms of
the government guarantee Vene-
zuela now becomes responsible
to the German syndicate for a per
cent return on this $4,000, 900. The
road has been in operation long
enough to determine what it will
earn, but the most sanguine promoters
do not hope that It will pay Z per cent
on the outlay. Whatever it earns will
be applied on the investment, and
Venezuela will then have to give suf-
fcient to bring the earnings up to 2
per cent. It is said to be this and SIM
liar German interests that are inclin-
ing the German government to regard
with favor the acquisition of an island
off the Venezuelan coast, to be used as
a naval station and as a sort of base
of operations for Germany on the
American continent.
The guarantee of Venezuela to the
German syndicate is of private char
acter, the German government having
no interest in the matter, but it is
looked upon as a convenient means by
which the government in giving pro-
lection to its citizens, could also carry
out it's desires for the acquisition of a
naval station. The circumstances are
such as to lead to the belief the United
| States will again be called upon to de-
! fine to what extent the acquisition of
territory by foreign powers on South
American soil is compatible with the
Monroe doctrine.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 18.-One of
the most terrific rain storms ever seen
in this region struck Kansas City at
about O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
The storm came in from the tornado
point of the compass, the northwest,
and rose with fearful rapidity, reach
ing its climax within ten minutes
after its burst The rain was accom-
panied with vivid electrical display,
heavy thunder and all the elements
which make such sudden and severe
conflicts of the elements the terror
of the average Western man. Torrents
mildly expresses the nature of the
downpour; it was one binding and
steadily increasing mass of water
turned loose without stop of any kind.
1t fell SO rapidly that one could not
distinguish objects at a distance OF
half a dozen feet.

Missouri Silverites.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, June 15.-Sec-
rotary ]. W. Zevely of the Democratic
state central committee says that up to
date he has received resolutions de-
handing a state silver convention
from the committees of only four
counties in the state. Many of the
counties have declared in favor of a
state silver convention but for some
reason the local secretaries have not
so reported to the secretary of the
state committee.
1t is said that if a majority of the
counties will report to the state com
mittee another meeting of that body
will be held and in all probability a
call will be issued for state conven-
ton to be held sometime in August,
1t is not believed that the committee
will ignore a request from a majority
of the counties.

His Careful Caution.

"Will you
The landlady glanced across the table at
his empty plate.
-"have some more soup?"
With that spirit of cautiousness that Is
fostered and grows rapidly in a boarding
house atmosphere he replied evasively:
"Um, er-that is, ah, what kind of
meat have you today, Mrs. Skraggs?'
For moment the landlady assumed a
thoughtful expression. But that was only
a bluff. Presently she answered senten-
tiously:
Chicken.
Readily recalling many former expert
ences with bony necks and meatless wings,
the boarder with the shaped nose hasti-
~ passed his plate for more soup.-New
