RACE WITH A CYCLONE.
Terrific "Twister" Dogs a North
western Passenger Train.
Wild Ride from Dixon to De Kaib-storrn
whirls Its Way Along Only Few
Hundred Feet from the
Railroad Track.

Passengers on the Northwestern train
which leaves Dixon for Chicago over the
Northwestern railroad at 1854 o'clock
were given a wild chase the other after
noon with full-grown cyclone which
first appeared as the engineer steamed
out of Dixon town and followed the rear
sleeper as far as De Kalb.
The phenomenon was accompanied by
cloud of dust and cinders, and was of
the whirlwind variety. 1t meandered
along in dogtrot and toyed with farm
ers' wagons and rail fences, occasionally
slipping up and nipping the tail end of
the passenger train.
The fireman heaved coal as he had
never before heaved and the engineer
threw the throttle wide open and put
on the safety valve.
But the cyclone whirled along like a
hoop snake, staying abreast of the train
On the left side, about ESQ yards dis
tant, ripping up the sod and making
the landscape look haggard.
The passengers were in the high &C"
of excitement, expecting at any moment
to join in the merry-go-round without
getting value received out Of their tick
cts.
The cloud was fully 100 feet in dame
ter. With it came a terrific rainstorm,
which lasted till De Kalb was left
behind many miles. Farmers who were
numbering along in their wagons un-
hitched their horses to give the animals
chance to escape, while the farmers
themselves few in all directions to avoid
the cyclone.
No fatalities resulted and the farm
land over which the wind cloud passed
viii need no blowing this spring.
Sticks, ROSTERS, bushes and dirt were
hurled high in the air. Rail fences
opened to let the wonder pass, while
haystacks were swept before it and dis
tributed promisciously over the next
county.
One of the passengers who saw the
disturbance from start to wind up
stamps the thing as complete success.
t"It was a thrilling sight," said he,
"and yet beautiful"

the train, now little in advance of us
and now playing with the end lights on
the rear coach.
"As long as it did not kill anything, I
can say it was beautiful sight"

RAILROADS GENEROUS ACT.
Send Out a Special Train "In the Interest
of Suffering Humanity"

An interesting incident in connec-
ton with the shooting of the two
Princeton students last spring has just
become known. When the wounded
men were examined it was decided that
nothing could be done to save the life
of one of them except an immediate op-
Grafton. A telegram was sent to DIR.
Bull, of New York. He received the
message after midnight and at once
went to the Pennsylvania railroad sta
ton in Jersey City. He was informed
that he would be obliged to pay de-
posit of 5000 for a special train
and also promise to meet any fur
Their bill that the company might
present. DR.. Bull assented to this prop
osition and the train was made up. He
waited for some time for the bill from
the company, and finally wrote, asking
that one should be sent him. Instead of
receiving a bill he received check for
the 5000 he had paid and note saying
that the company would make no
charges for the special train, as the
service was Gin the interest of hui
mainly"

A SLAP AT NEW YORK.
Korean Courtier's Views of Gotham's Bad
Streets and Bad Manners.

Korean Courtier's Views OF Gotham's Bad
Streets and Bad Manners.
Min Yong Hwan, the envoy of the
king Of Corea, and three associates,
who have been delegated to represent
Corea at the coronation of the car ON
May 2e, were in New York city the other
day, en- route to st. Petersburg. Min
is an intelligent Corean, and stands
high In court. He is attended by suite
of 40 natives. The party made tour of
inspection and subsequently Min gave
his impressions of Gotham. He said
the streets of the metropolis were not
as well kept as those of Seoul. New
Workers, Min said, were remarkable for
their extremely bad manners in public.
He understood the natural curiosity
aroused by foreigners in native attire,
but he did not think this sufficient ex-
cuse for the people to stare at himself
and his companions and pass remarks.
Itappears that Minis private secretary
and interpreter kept him posted on a
trip over the elevated railway concern
ing the remarks of fellow passengers.
He does not like the 81" system of
rapid transit, but is much impressed
with the cable. Fifth avenue, he thinks,
is beautiful thoroughfare. He was
especially pleased with the pretty girls
who happened to be on dress parade
when he passed up the avenue.

A MILLION DOLLARS LOST.
United States Notes Probably Burned Up
In the Great Chicago Fire.

United States Notes Probably Burned Up
In the Great Chicago Fire.
A New York Sun special from Wash
ington says: The books of the United
States treasury still carry an item of
81, ZOO, 900, which represents United
States notes which are supposed to
have been consumed in the great Chi
cago fire 25 years ago. 1t is known that
there was million dollars of currency,
more or less, in the vaults of the sub
treasury then, and that none of it was
recovered, but the denominations of
these notes and the exact amount are
unknown, as the books of the cashier
were consumed also. There could not
have been, however, very many dollars
less or very many dollars more than
1000, 900, and it would simplify the
accounts of the treasury and save a
great deal Of labor to the bookkeepers
if congress should pass bill or reso-
luton recognizing the fact that this
money is no longer in existence, for
every day when the cashier in the treas
ury balances his accounts he has to
include this item, deducting 1t or adding
it, as the case may be, from the amount
in hand. It appears upon every daily,
weekly, monthly and yearly statement
of the assets and liabilities of the gov
eminent as unknown destroyed United
States notes, s., 900, O00."

AN OLD CRIME RECALLED.
Safe Pound in Twin Lakes Supposed to
Have Been Put There in 1865.

Safe Pound in Twin Lakes Supposed to
Have Been Put There in 1865.
II. L. Reed, of Genoa Junction, Wis,
has found safe in Twin lakes In about
eight feet of water, the announcement
of which causes great interest. 1t is
of old-fashioned design, and is be-
lieved to be the safe carried away from
the Elkhorn bank on the morning of
September z, 1865. The robbery was
charged to three men by the name of
Hamilton, two of whom were arrested,
but released on bail. Soon after they
went to Europe, and the case never came
to trial. The other man was arrested
somewhere in the south, where he had
gone, and was placed in Jail. His wife
visited HIM, and it is stated that he es-
capped from jail in his wife's clothing
and was not found afterward. The safe
was supposed to be secreted somewhere
near there, and the finding of it in
the lake has revived all the excitement
of the crime of 80 years ago. When the
safe was stolen it contained $4,000.
The safe will be raised and further in
vestigation made.

Of L. B. Smith in Chicago the other day.
Certainly" returned Mr.. Smith, gal
lantly, and the young woman, whom he
thought he recognized, rode proudly
away.
She did not stop, however, at the next
corner, but kept on to the third.
Mr.. Smith commenced to get excited
and watched anxiously for the bloomer
girl to turn around at the third corner
and bring back his nice, new wheel.
But she didn't turn.
Instead, she kept right on and he
stood in the middle of the road and
watched his bicycle fade away.
Then a pursuit began. John Lyons,
of L. p. Cycle club and j. p. Smith
mounted their trustiest bicycles and
rode in hot haste on the trail. Finally,
after long chase, Smith sighted the
fugitive boomers, and riding up de-
manded the wheel. A crowd which as
sembled sided with the daring 15-year.

from her and returned it to it's owner.
The girl who had borrowed the wheel
mixed in the crowd and could net be
identified. -.r. r.
The wheel was returned to its owner
and the next bloomer girl who asks to
ride it will be handed over to the police.

DEATH STEPPED IN.
A Forger Who Has Operated In Il
Northwest Dies In Jail.

a E0FgeF Who Has Operated In the
Northwest Dies In Jail.
st. Paul. Nov e5.-Carl Larson, one
of the most remarkable small-amount
forgers in the country. died in Jail to-
day of heart disease. He was wanted
in many cities. His plan was unique.
He would go into business house
with his clothes apparently all covered
with dust from cutting stone, his din
ner bucket in hand. present a check
supposed to have been drawn hv some
contractor. make small purchase,
get the change and leave the store. II
the town WAS small he would pass
three or four checks and then get out.
Shortly after his arrest. and when
he saw that his identity had been
penetrated. Larson admitted that lie
had. for the East six years. been fol-
lowing the profession. of fOrger, and
that during that time he had been con-
victcd once. His fall was in Madison.
He told the court such a pitiful story
that he was sentenced to but one year
at Waupun. When he got cut he i'm
metiately started upon his same old
career. He fairly raked the small
towns of Minnesota dry. There was
hardly one which did not contribute
as much as 500 to his funds. Winona.
Mankato. saltwater, Sleepy Eye and
several others have been heard from.
He Is known to have worked a num-
ber of others. He passed about a
dozen of his checks in Minneapolis.
He was arrested for attempting to
pass a check in ST. Paul, and since
that time has been in Jail here. His
family of a wife and several children,
who have lived in st. Paul for num-
Der of years. have been compelled Of
ten to appear for assistance when
Larson was on the road forging. Ac-
c0rding to his own story he did not
divide the spoils of his criminality
with his family.

ORsHIPERs FIGHT.
Two More Riots at st. Stanislaus
Polish Catholic Church.

Two More Riots at St Stanislaus
Polish Catholic Church.
Bay City, Mich, Nov. 25.-The fac
tiOns which have been dividing st.
Stanislaus Polish Catholic congrega-
tion for the past six months came
together yesterday in n conflict in
which missiles We're thrown and near
ly a score injured. The church was
crowded and at 8 O'clock mass the
trouble began. Father Bogacki. sue
cessor of Father A1atoski, whose action
had divided the church and led to hos
tilities. originally scored the anti-Aia-
tOwSki faction for purchasing ccme-
terry of their own. saying he would be
cut off from the offices Of the church.
After the services when Father Bo-
gacki started for his house. lie was
forced back into the church by the
crowd. a squad of lOlicctricd to rush
the priest from the church to the par
sonage. A battle cnsued and many
heads were broken by thcclubs of The
police. The priest was pushed back
and finally towards night was escorted
to his house. Last evening. acting on
Mayor Wright's counsel, the crowd
dispersed.
Father BOgacki gained access to his
parsonage in disguise to-day. A crowd
assembled outside and small-siZed
riot ensucil. After considerable fight
ing. in Which no one was seriously
hurt, the adherants of Father Bogacki
were rcpulsed. Then Mayor Wright
appeared and ordered the mob to dis
perse. The warning factions finally
left for their homes and all in quiet.
Father Bogacki is in his residence
with a strong bodyguard. Mayor
Wright has assumed charge of the
police department and will issue a
proclamation.
