Just How II Happened.

The explanation of the unexpected result
of the caucus in Burlington Wednesday
evening is over confidence on the part of
Major Grout, and crafty management on
the part of Mr.. Stickney's friends. The
latter made ''still hunt" They did not
allow it to be well known till Tuesday that
they were going to run Stickney ticket
and till Tuesday afternoon it was not gen
orally understood that there would be any
opposition to the election of sixteen dele
gates friendly to the nomination of Major
Grout. Indeed, many Republicans did not
learn at all that aStickney ticket was in the
field. Then by sharp and active work and
by some INSCRIPTIONS misrepresentation
and probably by the expenditure of some
money, about one-fourth of the Republican.
of Burlington were rallied to the support o
the Stickney ticket. OF the other three
fourIhs only fraction turned out to tn
caucus. Free Press.
Here is a paper, the principal organ Q
the ring, that holds up its hands in horro
at what it designates as ud-slingin
methods in politics, and yet does not hes
tate to charge defeat to the use OF none
by its opponents. 1t assumes that all {
Mr.. Stickney's friends, about one-fourth ,
the Republican. voters of Burlington WEI
out, and that OF the other three-fourths, o
course all Grout men, only small numbt
came to the caucus. We suggest that IL

a candidate who can create little enth
] siasm in the ranks.

BIGGEST CYCLONE ON RECORD.
Hundreds Of Lives Lost-Mauy Injured-St
Louis the Scene of Disaster.

The greatest and most destructive cyclone
yet known to history occurred Wednesday,
in which 400 lives were lost in St. Louis
alone, to say nothing of the surrounding
sweep of territory. The storm-or storms,
for there were two tornadoes-covered
large part of Missouri, Illinois and Indi-
ana. 1t was about 5 o'clock in the after
noon when the great cloudburst came and
so swift and sudden was its descent that
fleeing men, women and children were
caught in the streets and hurled to destruc-
ton or buried beneath falling buildings.
A portion Of staunch, strong bridge
was Immediately carried away at East St.
Louis; freight trains were torn from the
tracks and one whole train was blown into
the river. Language is inadequate to
describe the scenes of havoc and destruc-
ton and distress that enSued. Inc pain
of the storm is reported to have been
about two miles wide and up to date no
exact estimate can be made of the loss OF
life and property. Many barges and small
craft with their contents were sunk on the
Mississippi, and the destruction of school
building caused the loss of life of many chill
dren. A tabulation made Thursday even
ing gave these figures:
Identified dead in St. Louis, 121; uni
Identified, 80; injured, 447.
East St. Louis, identified dead, 1879;
unidentified, 1922; injured, 15S.
The total number of families who are
without homes and whose household effects
were swept away by the storm is variously
estimated at from 500 to 800. 1t will be
several days before complete and reliable
roster can be made.
The property loss is estimated in round
numbers at 81 900, 600.

Not Unanimous.
A contemporary says

A contemporary says:
"\Nhile it is conceded that Major Grout
will be nominated for our next Governor,
and is capable and worthy of the homer he
seeks, it will not probably be unanimous,
and for this reason his friends will need be
on hand at the proper time and see that
delegates are elected that will carry out
their wishes in the convention" 1t 1T is
conceded and everything is so certain why
should the Grout cohorts exert themselves
further? If the Grout organs can be believed
there will be such spontaneous clamor
for the man from Derby, that there will be
no call for caucus manipulations. And
then the Grout men are too honest, and
pure to be guilty of using such tactics.

Burlington Goes for Stickney.

Burlington had Stickney earthquake
last Wednesday evening when 16 Stickney
delegates were elected to the state conven-
ton that meets in that city June Is. Six
hundred and twenty eight votes were cast
of which Stickney had 1913, and Grout 230,
a majority for the Ludlow man OF 16S.
The Stickney ticket was as follows:
Delegates-C. P. Smith, A. o. Humph-
rey, f. E. Burgess, H. j. Gutchell, Elias
| Lyman, G. G. Peterson, b. S. Jones. B.
M. Lambkin, j. w. Goodell, c. j. Fer

Chatterer was engaged 10 be married TO
the beautiful and accomplished actress,
Miss Agnes TrendervilIe. The circulation
Of the Chatterer had gone up. A series of
short stories by Juni;a'- was the big al

was that payment had never been asked for.

Poor flOwCrs!' She murmured when he
came back 20 Ter side, ard she looked down
at the faded roses at her breast They
were beautiful this morning. This air
should revive them"
There was a little pause, the man stand
ing with his newly plucked flower in his
hand. Then JesSica took the withered
flowers from her breast ard bent down as
if to lay them on the soft brown earth.
They viii be glad 10 die out here in the

But the man interrupted, touching her on
the shoulder. You might give me one of

"But--'
"0h. You will only be giving me back my

JcsSica hcsiiated aud played with the

"BIt you guessed" he persisted. "And
now You viii give me one of them?"
Yes said Jcssica, Il guessed and of

So the exchange of flowers was made
and the man stored his in his pocket.
while the one that he had newly gather

There are times when the lowliest

was not, perhaps, without u Certa in
justification. But it was quite unfounded;
the absence Of these two truants had passed
unnoticed, and it was only the beauty of
that temperate winter night and the warmth
of the room had brought them into the open

They came out In q body, and then
