under the new rate Is about $8 or $40

weight on one car would cost little
less to ship than the old rate per car,

The Charles Dixon Commission Com

their new Kansas customers this week:
J. G. Hughes, Lyon county; Gus Borg,
Riley county; Charles S. Miller, s. M.
Paddeford, PottsWstomie county; G.
w, Schmidt, j. D. Andrews, Geary
county; VIM. Davis, Clay county. This
is one of the most substantial firms on
the Stock Exchange. 1t is gratifying
to know when you are doing business
with bank or live stock commission
firm that they are thoroughly reliable.
Ben L. Welch & Co. are well pleased
with the outlook for business at East
st. Louis. There is not q man on the
Exchange who knows more shippers
and can call them by name thsn Ben
L. Welch. 1t is an excellent plan to be
well acquainted with your competitors
customers. Instead of giving him q
frOWn Ben will run half way across the
street to meet him and politely say If
the facts justify "You are shipping
to good firm, but when you want as
sistsnce we are at your service. Come
In and see us, boys" They usually
come.

WE1NZELL BROUGHT BACK.
Detective Goodman Returns With the
 Alleged FHorger.

Los Angeles Times: De.ective Good- man returned from Arizona yesterday. having in custody William Lorraine Wenzell, who is wanted on charges of forgery.
 WenZeI was arrested n Prescott. Ariz., on charge of prize-fghting, and was being held on that charge when Goodman arrived. Wenzen was a United States prisoner, and conse- quently the officers refused to give him up to Goodman, but after a little skillful maneuvering, Goodman ob- tained his man and brought him back.
 It is alleged that Wenzell forged a check June 10 on the Citizens Bank of this city for SIP and signed the name of W. K. Hakers. Wenzell is also a1- legged to have given G. C. Compton a check for $275, which proved worthless. and for which Compton was arrested on forgery charge.
 Detective Goodman was also looking for J. A. Qua,ey, the missing carriage man, and says he is on his trail. He goes along, and leaves behind him . trail easily followed.

BUTTE, Mont, May 2S.-Rev. Fran cis Hermans, wanted at Salt Lake for the alleged killing of two women, was in Butte subsequent to the disappear ance of the two women. He arrived with two trunks, one of which con- tained personal effects and the other he said had apparel of his wife. He asked Rev. MT. Melby of Lutheran church to sell it for him as he was tired of carrying it further. It was sod and part of the clothing was disposed of MT. Melby was acquainted with Miss Sahuelson and now, on looking over the undisposed contents of the trunk, recognized the stuff as having belonged to her.

 Perhaps the most impressive evil dence of the storm clouds force is seen in the wrenching off of the eastern end of Ead's bridge. There the tornado dealt with stone and masonry. It tore off and tumbled down tons upon tons of masonry. Beginning with the big eastern pier and extending to the foot of the incline the cloud cut off the upper part of the structure as if it had been f1imsy trestle instead of struc- ture of world renowned masonry. Fire added much to the loss on account of the fire system being paralyzed.
 Steamboats, wharf boats and barges were moored from Riddle street to Choteau avenue. These were swept from their fastenings almost in solid phalanx and cast adrift. Some were overturned and sunk, others blown across and crushed against the other side. Many lives were lost in the rush ing waters, but it is impossible to tell how many.
 The suffering of the Injured and homeless people throughout the dis tricts where the cyclone2passed is to- day almost beyond description, but no concerted action can yet be taken to relieve it. Both houses Of congress to- day passed resolutions allowing the secretary of war to furnish the mayor with tents for temporary homes and hospitals. Telegraph, telephone, cleo tric lights, gas and street cars are use less. Some of the streets are filled with debris ten feet deep.
 ANDERSON, Ind, May 2S.-The storm struck this city last night, in- turing several people and doing s250,- 900 damage. The buildings of the American Strawboard company, the Anderson Bicycle company, the Ma tional Type company and Presbyterian church were blown down.
 CHICAGO, May 2S.-It was reported at the dispatcher's office of the Illinois Central railroad that today the grand stand at the St. Louis race track had been blown down in the storm and that 150 people were killed. All wires ot the road are down south of Centralia and nothing further can be learned at present. The information regarding the destruction of the grand stand is corroboraked by information received in the pool rooms at Lexington and in this city.

THE NAUGHTY MINISTER. Hermans Had Many
 Godly Friends. The Accused Preacher Still
 At Large.
Supposed Murderer of Miss Clau- sen Had Many Devoted
 Admirers.

SALT LAKE, May 2S.-Yet another victim of the irresistible Hermans has been heard of Whether there are other young women of his acquaint- ance who received attentions from their erstwhi1e preacher remains to be seen. Just on victim per day has been added to the list up to date.
 Charlotte Anderson, the old woman who says that Hermans terrorized her in order to prevent her from telling Of the criminal operation on the Samuel son girl, states that besides the Clau- sen and Samuelson girls there was an- other young woman to whom Hermans was quite devoted. This girl, Miss Anderson says, was employed as a do- mestiein the city, and at var ious times, even during Mrs. Herman's Lifetime. She stopped at the parsons house for few days at time, or while she was looking for employment. The girl, Miss Anderson says, was frequently out of a place on account of her gen. eral inefficiency and a bad habit of re maining out late at night. At one time last fall when she was out of work Miss Anderson invited her to stay with her at the church until she found employment She stayed three days and Miss Anderson says that she got tired of her because she persisted in remaining out late at night, and she was obliged to sit up for her. One night while she stayed with her, Miss Anderson says she came home very late, accompanied by Hermans. Some time after this, knowing that the girl was visiting Hermans in his rooms, Miss Anderson met the parson and de- manded of him whether he intended to marry the girl or not. She says he made faces and expressed great dis gust that Miss Anderson should ever have thought of such a thing. What became of the girl for a time Miss An derson did not know, but about Christ mas time she again appeared and was almost immediately married to a young Swede and went to live in the country with him.
 Miss Anderson says that she is per fectly satisfied that the parson and this girl were on very intimate terms with one another, and that the girl was also

Tucson Star; The first of tho commencement exercises of the Uni versity of Arizona were held Last even- ing by the members of the Philoma- thean society, who gave their first an nual exhibition. The hall of the un4- versity was crowded by an appreciatfvs audience and the entertainment was well up to the expectations of the many friends of the fair and manly partiri- pants, and does much credit to Miss Gertrude Hughes, who had the young people in training for the occasion.
 The programme commenced with . chorus, Be Happy Tonight, GpnA Neighbor,' which was beautifully sung and showed careful training.
 'fWhat Kind of an Education We Should Seek formed the subject of an oration by c. C. Paine and as an or iginal composition indicated a careful study of them.
 Miss Ida Flood gave a recitation en- titled ''The Wreck of the Pooahontas." which received much praise and ap- plause.
 IA vocal solo by Mrs. Castillo was listened to with marked attention and clearly displayed the fact that th:s lady is a vocalist of no mean ability,
 Albert Drachman recited "The Un- known Speaker" which is taken from the historical incidents relative to the signing of the declaration of indepen- dence and was very creditable study.
 Pique Dame," a piano duet, was performed by Misses Jessie Hughes and Hattie Perrin and entities the young ladies to words of high commendation for their. success in easy execution, and words of praise for their instruc- tor, who has the power to teach the art Of expression SO essential 10 a musical training.
 "The Rugg,es' Christmas Dinner was well rendered by Miss Ida Wi,hiR- son and did the young lady much credit, as the piece has many passages in it that required some pretty acting. Miss Wilkinson was quite. equal to fhe occasion.
 An essay was then read by Mark Walker, IT,, on Reform in College Athletics" In theory the paper was well put together and among the col- lege professors would doubtless receive strong words of praise, but among the college athletes time will only reN whether it will be received with sim liar appreciation.
 A beautiful vocal duet was next sung by Professor and Mrs. Castillo. Miss Mamie Hoff told the story Of the Three Little Pigs in song ana verse, very prettily and entities ths young lady to rank high in the school of recite ton.
 "The Marble Dream" $ 2 recita :ioA that requires much study, by the per former, but in the hands of Miss Myra Drachman was finely rendered ana would do credit to some win higher aspirations.
 The evenings enterta inment con- cluded with music by the orchestra, which was in keeping win the careful study of the nights work.
