THE OMNIPREsENT CHUMP
Has Now Got His Misspelling of
"Greeley' Carved in Stone.

Kansas City, July 91-If the dead
can know what happens on this terres-
tia1 ball, the shades of Horace Greeley
doubtless gave expression to some terse
vigorous and expressive language when
the first of a series of tablets, on which
are inscribed the names of famous
Americans, was lifted into place at the
public library building yesterday. The
first tablet was intended to perpetuate
the name of the famous editor, but his
name was spelled Greedy" the 'e'' in
the ley being omitted.
The bIunder was discovered by J. L.
Norman of the board of education. The
name is carved on two tablets, which
are unusually large slabs of costly
granite. A new tablet will have to be
substituted for the one which contains
the letters "eely.''
Proofreaders and others who have
fought with all classes of writer's over
this name viii appreciate the mistake.
1t seems to be impossible to beat it
into the average writer's head that it
isn't spelled 'tGreely.''

OSBORNE STORM.
Destroys Thousands of Dollars
Worth of Property.

Many Business Buildings Blown

A School House and Stone
Church Blown Away.

Osborne, July 31.-The wind storm
which passed over a portion of Osborne
county Tuesday afternoon was more
disastrous to property than was first
reported
IN places it proved to be of a cy-
clonic nature. The Mayfower school
house and a stone church near the
Smith county line are among the build
1ngs destroyed. While the partial de-
struction of farm houses, barns, wind
mills and crops viii foot up many thou

ter, near Ports, was struck by light
ming, killing him instantly and his wife
was so badly shocked by the bolt that
she cannot recover.
Another man in the same neighbOr-
hood is missing, and fears are enter
tanned that he was killed and buried
under the rubbish of some of the
wrecked buildings.
At Ports, in Osborne county ten
miles north of this city, nearly all the
buildings are more or less wrecked.
Among them are the stores of Amos
Bartlett, the drug store and residence
OF DR.. E.O. Henshall, Methodist church.

the old bank building, the stores of e
w. Mckay and G.. B. Kirkham, a liv-
cry stable and many other buildings.

off
It is said there is hardly a building
in the place that has not suffered some
loss.

RATE WAR CERTAIN.
Passenger Rates From Chicago to Salt
Lake to Be Cut

Chicago, July 31-The threatened
western passenger war over rates from
Chicago to Salt Lake City on account
of the fire chiefs meeting in that city
August 10 is now assured.
Chairman Caldwell of the Western
Passenger association made strong eff
forts to persuade competing lines to ig-
more the Milwaukee and ST. Paul $50
round trip Chicago-Salt Lake City rate
but was unsuccessful.
The Alton gave notice that it will
meet the rate and other roads will do
the same. OF course the St Paul say
they viii not withdraw the $50 rate IN
less the Union Pacific agrees to cancel
its diverse route arrangements.
The Santa Fe and Northwestern
roads are opposed to the low rate and
want the executive officers to consider
the matter The round trip rate from
Chicago to Denver will probably be re-
duced to $25, and the one way rates will
be half of the round trip.

For a quarter of a mile it was an
even thing. At the end of the half mile
the sextuplet was four lengths ahead.
The sextuplet was then obliged to slow
down, owing to a short bridge a quar-
ter of a mile ahead. A number of rail-
road officers and bicycle men witnessed
