THE FREAKS OF THE STORM.

An Atchison dispatch of May %
says: The awful cyclone that swept
over Northern Kansas Sunday even
ing, bringing death to 80 people, in jur'
les to many, and destroying property
whose value will aggregate millions,
demonstrates again that the wind
bloweth were it listeth and is no re-
specter of men or conditions. Many
stories of the storms grewsome work,
OF it's fantastic capers and eccentric
performances are now at hand.
Mrs. Knotte, living at Seneca, who
was blown from her home, was found
dead. with her living baby clasped in
her right arm.
An oak stave was driven clear
through cows body.
A frame, in which big mirror was
set, was smashed to splinters, but not
a crack or blemish could be discovered
on the glass.
"A Schoolbouse was blown away,
leaving the floor undisturbed, with the
chairs and desks remaining upright in
their places.
The paint on a barn near Irving was
rubbed off; otherwise the barn was
uninjured.
An organ in a church at Spring Val
ley was scattered to the winds. The
stove sitting under it was not moved.
Not trace of two missing pianos at
Frankfort can be found.
Three boys in schoolhouse at Pal
mer were blown so feet in the air,
but were deposited on the ground
without injury. The building was
wrecked.

A MONSTER STEER.

A monster steer, which is owned by
Charles Payne Of Wichita, Kans., a
dealer in wild animals and curios, is
attracting the attention of the curious
in that part of the country. Mr..
Payne came into possession of the
animal, now three years old, about
six months ago. Its growth since
that time has been phenomenal, and
the question is asked Mr.. Payne many
times day, When is it going to stop
growing? The steer is now six feet
four inches high and eleven feet long,
or seventeen feet long. counting from
the tip Of its tail 1t weighed only
1,S00 pounds three months ago, its
present weight is 1900 pounds, and if
it continues to grow as it has in the
past six months, it will some day be
as big as fult-grown elephant.
Cattlemen pronounce it one of the
greatest freaks known in the stock
line. They say it will continue to
grow until it is seven or eight years
old, and when it is fully grown it will
have obtained weight of from 1000
to 5000 pounds. The giant is perfectly
symmetrical in its development, and is
colored and marked like a Jersey.
Mr.. Payne has not offered it for sale,
and says he intends to wait and see
how big it gets.
Only one other such freak has been
known, and that was the famous
"Kansas Queen" a very large heifer,
that was shown around the country as
a side-show attraction, and was pur-
chased by Adam Forepaugh for 5000.
1t had previously netted its owner
a profit of $13, 3,OOO.-Exchange.

Pulled out the Cancer.

A Waverly, ILL.,, dispatch of May 81
says: For year past William Lind
say, an old soldier OF this city, has
been suffering from a cancer located in
his jaw. Local physicians and st.
Louis specialists informed him that
they could do nothing for him, and
recently he began doctoring with a
Mrs. Martin, who claims to be spe'
cialist. This morning, worn out by
long suffering and anxiety, Lindsay
managed to get a grip on the cancer
and pulled it out. He bled almost a
water-bucketful and died shortly al
terwards.

The Proverbs Reversed,

The editor of one of our exchanges
says: "The lark was up to meet the
sun and caroled his lay; the farmers
son took down his gun and at him
blazed away. The busy bee arose at
5 and buzzed the meadow o'er; the
farmers wife went for his hive and
robbed him OF his store. The busy
ant rose early, too, his labors to begin ;
the greedy swallow that flew that way
then took his lordship in. Oh, bees
and birds and ants be wise, in pro-
verbs take no stock; like me you
should refuse to rise till half-past
eight o'clock"

They Met by Chance.

A widower under 40 went recently to
q florist near Laurel Hill to get some
flowers to put on his wife's grave. In
the florists was widow under 30 get.
ting flowers to put on her husbands grave.
As it happened the graves were not far
apart and they were in sight of each
other quite awhile. Although leaving
the cemetery separately they struck the
same car. Getting out of the Mana
yunk car the widows veil caught and
the widower disentangled it. In the
Ridge avenue car the widow wrestled
with an open window and there was
nothing for the widower to do but raise
it. Both were in deepest black, and, as
luck would have it, both got out at Fit
teenth street, and there was only room
for two together in the Fifteenth street
car, and there they sat side by side silent
until Walnut street was reached, when
both got out and one went one way and
one the other. Philadelphia Times.

Cold Tea for In famed Eyelids.

SOtu AGA uOT IlHhuou
Many persons are troubled by weak or
iuaamed eyelids and some children have
such from the time Of their birth. This
trouble is indicated by white or yellow
ish grains forming on the edge Of the
lids along the eyelsshes and sometimes
by an unnatural thickness of the lid.
One OF the best remedies, says an ex-
change. for this trouble, as we'll as one CT
the simplest. is cold tea. The eyelids
should be bathed in this several times q
day. winkiug little of the tea up un-

Dr.. P, n Smith of Hagerstown, Nd.
aud party of mining men who recent
ly returned from the southwest, report
the fall Of an immense meteor, which
struck the desert about two miles north
of Halls ranch and about the same dis
lance south Of the Ripsey mines near
Tuscon, Ariz, Members of the party
who were camped at Halls say the con-
cussion was terrible. The air for miles
around was filed with sulphurous gas.
The meteor came down red and was
smoking.
It covers about two acres of ground,
appearing to be imbedded hundreds of
feet in the earth, and now forms a
great mountain in the desert. A
herder's hut and coral we're in the
meteor's path. The herder, his wife
and three children, all Mexicans, to-
gether with about 1900 sheep, went
down under the mighty mass. Major
Thomas Hayes, Of Louisville, KY, who
was of the party, was overcome 10y the
phenomenon.
ut was the most brilliant, grand and
awe-inspiring sight 1 ever witnessed,
said the major. 1T is simply beyond
the power of tongue or pen to express
The heat from the meteor is so intense
that it will be several days before the
mound can be examined closely"

Kansas IS ALL RIGHT.


It seems that Kansas is now under
going some post-election bulldozing.
Republican newspapers are publishing
letters from real or alleged eastern caps
italists telling how the vote Of Kansas
has seriously injured its future devei-
opment and how it has gotten another
setback in the east.
All this is what, in the VernaeulaF, is
indignantly but expressively denomina-
ted as "hog wash" The prosperity of
Kansas is not dependent upon its poll
teal preferences any more than is the
good name, financially, Of Missouri.
AS a matter Of fact Kansas got a repu-
tation for the loose conduct of it's state
affairs under the old hide-b bound re-
publican regime, which resulted in
more harm to the state than dozen
elections such as the one determined
November 3 can precipitate. Those
we're the times when war issues we're
appealed to for the purpose Of sustain
| ing the pIuuderiDg state house ring
when shady transactions in the hand
ling of coal at the penitentiary mines
we're covered up under the plea of the
preservation of the good name of the
grand old party, and prohibitionists
we're asked to wink at jobs in the build
| ing Of the capitol in order to maintain
the cause in the state. The Santa Re
railroad controlled the executive, iegis-
lative and judicial departments of the
state. Legislation was worth what
could be paid for it; nobody vas ex-
pected to pay railroad fare who had a
pull. George R, Peck was always a
bigger man than the governor, and "the
old flag and an appropriation" formed
the watchwOrd.
If the people Of Kansas rose in re-
volt it was because their masters Csed
the goad to freely. The state was set
tied in times that tried the souls Of
men, and their instincts and inclina-
tons we're with the republican party.
They served it long and faithfully, and
their party was hardly second to their
religion. But the change came-a
change that was inevitable.
The people of Kansas need have no
fear. Eastern capital and eastern CAPT
talists are not going to stay away from
Kansas because it voted for Bryan,
Kansas wheat and Kansas corn will be
bought and paid for as it has always
been. Let the coming administration
conduct state affairs economically and
cOnservatiyely; let it clean out root
and branch the remnants Of the malo
dorous state house ring; let it give cor
porations equal and exact justice, while
notifying them emphatically that theiI
proprietorship of the state has ceased
let it put none but good men in Office
and Kansas will refute its newspaper
slandeFers in its own and other states
Capital goes where it can get the best
returns. Kansas has material resOur
ces sufficient to be independent of an!
corporation or any political party

4 DELEGATE to the indianapolis sound
money democratic convention which
nominated Palmer and Buckner as
president and vice president respect
fully was frank enough to admit to the
writer that the delegates to that con-
ventioD. after they had made the nomi-
nation above mentioned, pledged them
selves to work for aud vote for the re-
publican nominees, Mckinley and
Hobart. This is important only from
the fact that while they we're, in reality,
ali the time supporting the republican
nominees, they used the sound money
saye-the- democratic party from dis
grace fulcrum to deceive others who
naturally would have voted for the reg
ular democratic nominees into voting
for Palmer aud BuCkner and thus help
defeat Bryan and elect Mckinley. The
first convention which ever nominated
candidates and formulated a platform
for the sole purpose Of deCeiving a
trusting constituency was held at In
dianapoIis and the perpetrators will
not soon be forgotten.
