progress of the German movement for

movement. was the principal basis for
this opinion.

A TwIsTER IN NEBRASKA.

STELLA, Neb.. June lS.-One of the
worst cyclones that ever visited Rich
ardson county, struck the home of
William Stoltz. miles southwest of
this place at 300 yesterday afternoon.
The storm was first seen when about l
mile south, where three funnel-shaped
clouds came together and formed one.
It did not strike the ground until
within a few rods of the west side of
Mr.. Stoltz's grove. From there it
moved east through the grove and
into the yard and out-buildings,
which are situated just south of the
residence. II took everything in its
path and after the storm had passed
nothing could be seen of the barn, two
corn cribs, windmill and granary, ex-
cept a pile of broken timbers. n mule,
which was standing in the barn, was
picked up and carried 80 rods and dis
emboweled. A fine mare was injured
so badly that she had to be shot, about
500 bushels of grain was scattered to
the four winds and 200 chickens were
killed. One live chicken and six dead
were found after the storm, 4 mile
east of the farm. Three wagons and
one buggy were entirely demolished.
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. The fine or
chard is total wreck and all the fenc-
ing and other Improvements are en-
tirely wrecked.
The cyclone passed east from Stoltz':
through the field of Adam Gebhardt
moving down strip of corn and Oatt
about 400 feet wide and & mile ii
length, in some places following out
the ground. At the edge of his field it
rose and broke soon afterward, only
running on the ground about mile.

WIND SWEPT.
Portions Of Kansas and Nebraska
Visited by Mild Tomatoes.
Several Persons Injured but No Fatalities
Reported-Buildings Were Wrecked
and a Portion OF Country Laid
Waste by the storm.

HARTFORD, Kan, June 1s.-About
o'clock yesterday evening tornado
struck this place, coming from the
southwest, and swept everything clean
from its path, which was clean cut and
about so to 100 feet in width. No one
SO far as known was actually killed,
although several persons were injured
so badly they are not expected to live.
The wounded are: Mr.. Lawson, will
die; Mrs. Lawson, serious; Mrs. Mary
E. Rawson, probably fatally; Cora
Rawson, severely hurt; Ola Rawson,
badly cut about the head; Mrs. ii.
X. Smith, severely. About twelve
houses were totally destroyed, and
many barns and outhouses. Among
the houses totally destroyed were those
of Judge w. ]. Combs, Mrs. Rawson,
Stuckey's barn and mill, Clarence
Cooley, L. F. Dudley, J. A. Thompson,
w. 6. Root, Godfrey Schwartz and sew
eral smaller residences. The roof of
Clarence Cooley's house was lifted off
as clean as if the house had been put
up and the roof left unfinished. Many
other houses are more or less damaged,
as they were more or less within the
edge of the twister. The total loss is
estimated at all the way from $40, 600
to $4,000.
An eyewitness of the storm, F. Is,
Tucker, a travelling man from En-
poria, says: II was on the incoming
Missouri, Kansas &c Texas train, due
at Hartford at SEQ. Just as we were
stopping l and other passengers
noticed to the southwest peculiarly
shaped white cloud, shaped nearly
like balloon. but little more taper
ing. Its peculiar wilderness first at
tracted our attention. In a few
moments it seemed to stretch out its
neck to the ground, turning darker.
Then clouds from all directions
seemed TO cluster around the top,
and as the small end struck
the earth, trees, fences, everything
it struck were torn up and lifted into
the air. The first house it struck
seemed to be bodily lifted up into
space, and in second beams, furni-
ture, bedding and all kinds of material
were shooting in every direction up in
the sky. BY this time the passengers
were beginning to notice that the fun
mel shaped cloud was coming straight
for the car in which we were and in
luiries began to be made as to what was
best to be done. Suddenly a Methodist
preacher Il wish l could remember
his name) solved the question by shout
ing, Here goes for the prairie, and
rushed to the door followed by every
one in the car. None. however. weSe
able to catch him. The run, however,
was not necessary, for when about 100
feet from the car the storm center
took sudden turn eastward and
swept past the rear of the train with
out touching it. The storm after pass
ing through the town to the east
seemed to jump the NeOsho river and
then rise and disappear in the upper
air."

An Escape.

Three weeks ago Deputy Sheriff T.. r. Frederick and his associates here captured Mexican by the name of Dermes Lermus, who was cattle thief with a $500 reward on his head They bound him over to the grand jury and he was sent to Tucson.
 He had also been indicted in CCchise county for grand larceny and IS court is now in session there he was given into the custody of MT Caldwell to be taken to Tombstone for trial.
 He was taken to Benson on a freight train last Friday night and as he has a reputation as an all-round bad man, was securely handcufIed. Upon alight- ing from the caboose AIr. Caldwell put on his coat, and no sooner did Lermus see the operation begin than he made a dash for liberty. For the moment the officer was practically bound hand and foot, and in the darkness that movement lost him his prisoner.
 As Frederick had sure case against the escaped man, he is out just $500.

Chiidren's Bay.

The founder of the Christian rel- zion made place for the children, and the church accOrdS to the little ones a prominent place. The annual Children's Day is one of the regular institutions of the Congregational church and was celebrated last Sun day. Tie pastor laid aside the usual program for the morning service and gave up the platform to the children. From the Gall to Worship Gloria, Lords Prayer, and Commandments, with which the service opened, to the closing bencliction, there was scarcely an item of the program in which they did not participate. Among tho ex- ercises were the following recitations.
 The girls we need, Nellie Ashley. A little girl I know, Mary Gardner: If were woman, Bessie Heald; Be careful what you say, Linda Ligget; The critical seed, Clarence Heald: The weather, Emma Ashley.
 A pretty little dialogue, entitled "What would you do all day, was given by Bessie IIeald Dora Hannah, Victor Salisburg, Vivian Stevens, Ed die Mix, Emma Ashley and Kenneth Heald, The song, Saving and Reap ing was rendered as Solo by Olive Mix. and was enjoyed by all.
 II is the custom of the church to present bible to each of it's baptized children on their arrival at the age Of seven years. Bibles suitably inscribed were presented with impressive re- marks to Kenneth lleald and Irene Mercer, who have passed theirseTenth milestone during the past year.
 In giving the notices, the pastor an- nounced that the trustees had found that the financial receipts were run ming about five dollars per month be- hind expenditures, and requested addi- tional subscriptions. During the day subscriptions amounting to thirty-five dollars were handed in. Nearly as much more is needed, which we trust will be forthcoming.

\ cOIlcction of Ideas and Assertions over
 heard in Barber Shop.

LIE UTTER MAN: Why Jhls great kick about the appointment of John Roberts as town marshal.
 NEXT: Because the people don't want him in any position whatever.
 VIcTM; How do you know they don't?
 NEXT: If they had wanted him as peace officer they would have elected him constable when he ran last fall. Nearly every other candidate on the democratic ticket received a majority in Nogales. Roberts didn't. And if ii had been an election for constable only he would have received far less votes. As it was he got many votes from men who would not scratch their tickets who would have voted against him otherwise.
 TIE OTHER MAN: Could not the same objection be raised against Flew elling, the other candidate?
 NEXT; Yes: but you forget there was third candidate who got no vote whatever in the election by the coun- cil, and he was the man who beat Roberts last fall Speedy.
 BARBER: When was Roberts first elected marshal?
 TIE OTHER MAN: Last week was the first and only time he was elecle to the place.
 BARBER: But one of the papers last week said he had been reelected.
 NEXT: That was "a mistake in print
 BARBER: Isn't there some obiec- tion as to his qualifications other than his lack of self control.
 NEXT: haye heard it intimated that he is very poor hand at keeping accounts. How true the assertion I have no means of knowing.
 VICTIM: If that is the case the town board made a grave mistake in putting him into place where he has to collect money and make accurate return of the same.
 K
 TIE OTHER MAN: Why is it that our Nogales republicans who were named as delegates to the national league convention don't go?
 NEXT: l suppose they feel they cannot stand the expense.
 BARBER: Do they have to pay their own expensec?
 NEXT: Of course.
 VICTIM: Do all delegates to na- tional conventions and the like have to pay their own expenses?
 NEXT: Most certainly. 1t is only in some of the mutual life insurance that delegates to national are reimbursed for ex- pcnse of attending.
 TIE OTHER MAN: Then excuse me. I want no political prominence.
 *a#
 BARBER: see that a prominent treasury official at Washington was removed for criticising Cleveland and Carlisle.
 NEXT: He was removed because he was caught at it. If removals were made for criticism there would be the greatest cleaning out in the public service that was ever seen.
 VIcTnE They have to be caught before they can be fired, don't they? TIE OTHER MAN: l don t See why the chumps are kicking anyway. Cleveland went out of office at the end of his first term with the rank and file
