SAND STORM TERRORS,

1t Grinds the Glass of Car Windows
ns If by nn Emery Wheel.
From the Kansas City Star.
w. A. Deuel., general superintendent of
the Colorado division of the Union Pacific
railway. arrived in the city from Denver
He passed through the territory which was
swept by the recent sand storm. and was an
eye witness Of the destruction it accom-
plished.
mo writer could exaggerate." said MI
DEUEL., 1.-The simeon which visited western
Kansas and eastern Colorado. The storm
began Thursday night and continued all
Gay Friday and part of Saturday. Clouds
of sand were driven through the air by a
high wind, obscuring all objects and rem
dering existence almost impossible for man
and beast A strange phenomenon connect
ed with the storm was that, while the wind
was blowing at the rate of from forty to
sixty miles an hour north and west of Den
Yer, yet in that city not enough air was
stirring to cause a flag to futter. People
in Denver would not believe that the worst
sand and snow storm experienced in wears
was raging all about them. The weather
was not cold and the storm was not at
tended by any electrical display. 1t was
simply an incessant, binding, suffocating
whirlwind of sand and snow.
THE paint and varnish on cars caught
out in the storm were worn from the wood
work and the car windows were scratched
and ground as if by an emery wheel One
of our engines which braved the storm for
several hours looked as If it had been resur-
rected after being buried for years. The
paint and varnish were gone, and it was
covered with sand and slush from the pilot
to the tender. A man venturing into a
whirlwind of sand invariably returned in
few minutes with his face bleeding from
hundreds of cuts The men employed to
clear the railroad cuts of the drifts of sand
and snow were unable to work more than
half an hour without being relieved l GER
tainly never before saw anything like that
terrors without having been actually in it.
At Cheyenne Wells, Col, station on the
Union Pacific, thirteen cars of sand were
taken from the depot platform. Cuts We're
filled with immense drifts, which averaged
about two-thirds sand and one-thrd snow
The bodies of two sheep herders who We're
overcome by the storm have been found
and others are reported missing. The loss
of range cattle was great"

HUMAN SUFFERING,
Nine-Tenths of 1t is Useless and Could
Re Avoided.

Count Tolsto in Revue EncyclopediIue.
go through a crowd of people-prefer-
ably city people; examine these tired,
anxious, wasted faces; remember your life
and the lives of the men whom you have
known Intimately: recall the violent deaths,
the suicides, of which you have heard-and
ask yourself the reason of all this dea1,
suffering and despair. And you will see,
however strange it may appear that the
cause of nine-tenths of human suffering is
the present life of the world, that this suf-
fering is useless, that it could be avoided,
and that the majority of men are martyrs
to worldly ideas.
Recently, on a rainy autumn Sunday I
crossed the market near the tower of Sioux
harev in a street car For third of a mile
the car made it's way through a dense
crowd that closed in again behind us. From
morning till evening these thousands of
men. most of them hungry and in rags,
iostle each other in the mud. dispute de-
ceive and hate each other. The same thing
goes on in all the markets OF Moscow and
other cities. These men will pass their
evenings in the wine shops, and afterward
will seek their holes and corners. Sunday
is their best day. Monday they begin again
their accused existence.
Think of the existence of these men, of
the situation which they abandon and of
that which they choose. Consider the labor
to which they give themselves, and you will
see that they are martyrs!
"All have left their fields, their houses
their fathers and brothers, often their wives
ard children. They have renounced every
thing and come to the city in order to ac-
ouire that which the World considers neces-
sary All of them are there from the op-
erative the coachman, the seamstress and
the prostitute. to the wealthy merchant.
the office holder and the wives of all of
them, to say nothing of the tens of thous-
ands of unfortunates who have lost every
thing and live on scraps and brandy in the
free lodging houses.
60 through this crowd; watch poor and
rich alike; look for man who says that he
is satisfied and believes that he possesses
what the world deems necessary; you will
not find one in a thousand"

upon, but will i OF be announced at present
GALVESTON. Tex. May 1O.-A special
sleeper left last night for Memphis, carry
ing Galveston's crack military company

ton in the interstate drill Adjutant General
Mabrey interposed a protest The boys
carried neither guns nor uniforms, nor was
there any appearance of any among their
effects or baggage but expect to find all
necessary equipment awaiting them at
Memphis when they arrive. Whether the
Texas adjutant will take further steps in
the matter is not known, but the Seelys
are provided with legal talent to look af
ter any ENHANCEMENT that may occur.
CHICAGO. May 1O-Gen. Ruger has Is
sued an order directing the band of the
third cavalry and two troops stationed at
Jefferson barracks to proceed to Memphis
and enter into camp with the National
Guard of Tennessee, and to participate in
the interstate competitive drill at that city.
The order was issued by direction of the
War Department.

THE ROAD RUNNER.
A Smart Arizona Bird and His Method
of killing Rattlesnakes.

A Smart Arizona Bird md His Method
of killing Rnttlesnnkes.
There is a bird out in my country" said
Maj. Ransome Of Arizona, to a writer for
The Star, which we call the road runner.
He Is an interesting fellow, this bird; and
a fashion of plover. 1 take it, with long
meritorious legs that never give out. and
which devour distance with an appetite
that never seems appeased. Gener ally two
road runners go together for company
sake, no doubt. They seem to be great
gossipers, and do a vast sight of talking to
each other. They will chase ahead of your
horse. as you ride along trail. and keep
up the stride for miles and miles, and
hours and hours, with steady side-to-side
motion much like the gait of a pacing
horse. Why they run along ahead of one
in this insane fashion can only be guessed
at. 1t would seem to be for fun and ex-
ercise.
They are gifted with great deal of sa-
gaciouS malevolerce toward the rattle
snakes. with which crawling brood the
road runner has deadly feud. suppose the
rattlesnake pounces upon the road run
ner's eggs and makes omelettes of them
or gobbles up their young on a spring
chicken theory. Whatever the cause of
hate, however. the road runner is the dead
~ enemy of the rattlesnake. They wreak
vengeance on him in this way. They will
espy rattlesnake asleep in the su = Mum
is then the countersign with your eoad
runner; he never says word.
HE and his fellow road runner go about
in discreet silence and collect the dried,
dead joints of the fiat cactus which
aDounds in the southwestern deserts. They
build corral all about the dczing serpent
with them. These pieces Of cactus bristle
with thorns as sharp and keen as needles.
When they've got their snake corraled.
the two road runners arouse him with
yells and the fiappings Of their little jim
crow wings. They revile him and scold
him and appear to apply all kinds of hard
epithets to him. He gets frightened and
angry. His head fiattens and his rattles
buzz
But they won't come near him. They
stand at a safe distance and rail at him.
At last he tries to crawl away. But he
can't cross the cactus fence, which the
road runners have built about him. The
spnes prick him and he draws back. Mean
while the road runners keep up their de-
risive racket. With each prick of the cac-
tus spnes the rattlesnake's wrath in
creaseS.
AT last in his desperate. brainless fury
he begins to bite himself His poison is
as deadly to him tc everybody else: and
in short time he dies. Great then is the
mad triumph of the road runners: who
taUnt him until his. last gasp, and exult
over his corpse like savages. After he is
surely dead, they S,aIk off together with
airs of oockey SATISFACTION, and as 1T were,

THE MAN OF MYSTERY.
Erroneous Report that Schlatter Had
Reached Albuquerque-RepOrt-
ed at BernalillO.

Schlatter, the man of mystery, sticks
to his mission in the mountains. All day
yesterday the people of Albuqr cirque had
watchers out on the road to greet him,
but he failed to put in an appearance. 1t
was thought he had reached Bernalillo
yesterday forenoon, but he failed to reach
there until late last night. At 10 O'Clock
this morning he was still there, being
surrounded by great crowd. What his
movements are to be no one can guess.
The Albuquerque press correspondents
night before last heralded to the outside
newspapers the solemn announcement
that Schlatter had taken up his perma-
nent residence in Albuquerque. This Is
not only falsehood, but one that is
more than likely to mislead many people
and create untold heart aches to suffering
humanity. Schlatter may reach Albu-
querque in the course of time; he may
remain there some days, but he has GER
tainly not arrived there yet. When he
does GO into permanent quarters it will
be time enough to tell the truth to the
outside world.
