NEWS NOTES.
Deadly Kansas Tornado.

The latest advices show that the deadly
tornado which swept through northeastern
Kansas and a portion of southern Ne
braska Sunday afternoon and night caused
at least 18 deaths and the injury of a score
of people and incalculable damage. Many
who escaped instant death are manned for
life. At Frankfort 90 buildings were de-
stroyed. At Seneca four persons were
killed, all children, the opera house, court
house and principal school destroyed. In
all of the towns struck by the cyclones
such buildings as were left standing have
been hastily converted into morgues and
hospitals. The dead were scattered pro-
miscuously, and it is not believed that all
the bodies have been recovered. Families
are scattered so that it is impossible to tel
how many people are missing.

Two expert forgers who have spread dis
may among bankers of this country and
Europe during the last twelve years were
arrested in Newark, N. j., Wednesday by
Pnkertons. Their names are Charles
Becker and James Cregan, and the imme-
diate crime for which they were apprehend-
ed was $4,000 swindle perpetrated on
the Nevada bank of San Francisco, Decem-
Der Is last.
1t is estimated that the forgeries of the
two men amount to at least $350,000.
Cregan is said to be a wealthy man and to
