STRICKEN BY ClCLONE.
Three Counties of Kansas Are Devas-
tated by "Twister.v

-
Nemaha, Marshall and Cloud Counties
were swept by dcath-dealing cyclone
late Sunday afternoon. Dsmantled
buildings mark the path of the fierce
storm, fourteen persons are known to
have been killed, from forty to sixty are
reported injured, several of whom will
die, and scores OF families are homeless.
The small number of casualties is ac-
counted for by the fact that nearly all of
the people fled TO their cellars and cyclone
caves.
Seneca, the county seat of Nemaha
County, appears to have been the chief
sufferer. One third of the resident part
of the town, according to dispatch, is in
ruins, five persons were killed and fifteen
badly injured. and 800 people have no roof
to shelter them. The property loss at
Seneca is estimated at 100000. Sa-
betha, also in Nemaha County, according
to report, was severe sufferer. A brief
dispatch states that twenty or twenty
five persons received injuries more or less
severe. and that at least three or four OF
the victims will probably die. Twenty
families lost all their worldly possessions
and are temporarily dependent upon char
lty for subsistence. Sabetha is small
place north of here, near the Nebraska
line.
After leaving Sabetha the cyclone took
n narrow path toward Falls City, uproot-
Ing trees and dismantling farm buildings
In its furious progress. In Frankfort, in
Marshall County, the entire western and
northwestern part Of the town is in ruins.
The property damage was far greater
than at Sabetha, but the number of hu-
man victims OF the storms fury is hap
PLY considerably less. AS far as heard
from there was no loss Of life there, and
the number injured was hardly more than
dozen. Probably three-score of build
ings were razed to the ground. Some Of
the best residences Of Frankfort were
blown to atoms. and reports from the sur
rounding country, where heavy damage
has been done, will materially swell the
loss. Many head of horses, cattle and
other stock were killed.
Two courers reported that everything
in the village of Reserve was demolished
by the cyclone. and that six people were
killed at Reserve and many others injured.
The little hamlet of Bodaville, in Riley
County, was entirely swept away by the
cyclone. At Spring Valley, some six
miles south of Barnes, it tore down a,
church, in which 80 people were worship,
ing. Many were injured.

Pardon for Mrs. Havila nd.

The only woman in the State prison at
Jackson, and the oldest prisoner in point
OF service save one, was pardoned by Gov.
Rich the other day. Her name is Mrs.
Sarah Haviland, and she has been in
prison thirty years. She was the twen-
tieth prisoner sent to the institution. The
crime for which the woman was sentenc-
ed to prison for life in 1866, when she
was 3S years Of age, was the murder OF
her own children. three in number. In
urging the exercise of executive elem
ency the pardon board says: "The crime
was most heinous and we do not wish to
condone it. And while there were some
mitigating circumstances, we believe her
sentence was just. The mitigating cir
cumstances we believe to be that she was
under the influence of a man who pos
sessed a will much stronger than her own
and who agreed to marry her but for the
bar Of so many children. The influence
which the man possessed over her would
now be called hypnotism, and it was
while acting under it that the crime was
committed"

EMPIRES OLD CAPITAL.

cade-RoyaIty aud Nobility Journey
from the Petrovsky Palace.
Day Of 10y at Moscow.


The czar and czarina made their tri-
umphal entry into Moscow amid the thun-
der Of batteries of artillery, the changing
of countless bells and the cheers of vast
multitude Of loyal Russians and equally
enthusiastic visitors from oil parts Of the
world. Probably never in the history Of
nations has there been such an assem-
blage of peoples. Possibly the gorgeous
scene may never be repeated in its grand
entirety. In anticipation of the coming
Of the czar, the entire route from Petrov-
ski palace, about three miles on the road
to st. Petersburg, to the Kremlin was
so densely packed with people that move
ment except on the outskirts Of the i'm
mense crowds was out of the question.
The signal for the commencement Of
the days movements was a salute of nine
guns from battery outside the city. This
was followed by the dull booming of the
big bell Of the Cathedral of the Assump-
tion and the assembling of the troops at
their various mastering points.
Then the countless high dignitaries of
the empire and Of foreign countries began
to gather at the Petrovski palace, to take
their places in the gala eQuipages or to
escort on horseback the carriages OF their
imperial majesties. The grand dukes and
grand duchesses, the princes and the prin-
cesses, the Asiatic potentates, the innum-
cradle representatives of every country

Message Sent Twice the Distance

A message around the world by tele-
graph was the feature at the national
electrical exposition in New York Satur-
day evening, and on that occasion DR..
Chauncey NJ. Depew delivered an grafton
on Progress and Future of Electricity"
to 10000 people. The message was writ
ten by DR.. Depew and addressed to Ed
ward ID. Adams, president Of the Cataract
General Electric Company. 1t was trans
mitted over the lines and connections Of
the Postal Telegraph Gable Company,
from New York via Chicago, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Vancouver, Winnipeg and
Canso, to London, and back via Boston
to New York. The message was started
at S:34 o'clock, and was received by
Thomas A. Edison at S:3S o'clock.
The Western Union Company and con-
nections also transmitted a copy of the
message from New York through Mexico,
down the west coast and up the east coast
Of South America, thence to Spain and
back to New York, the time occupied be-
ing two minutes.

Ann Arbor Faculty ANNOYED.

Ann Arbor university circles are not
done talking about clandestine marriages.
The most notable was that Of Mr.. Perry
of the law department and Maude Elaine
Caldwell, poet. Their fight to West
Virginia for the purpose of getting mar
ried has been entirely condoned by the
respective families. But the faculty do
not disguise their annoyance just the
same. Although such events are prac-
tically unprecedented in university his
tory, yet they were freely predicted in
the early days of coeducation. Demon
strator Lewis, the hero of one of these
episodes, has retired from the university
and left the city. The third couple has
also departed, but Perry will remain to
graduate. There is party in the faculty
who believe he should be censured and
that a rule should be passed against clan
destine marriages. But this party is in
q minority.

Mrs. Henry Ingram, of Battle Greek, is
still fasting. 1t is ninety days since she
has taken a morsel of food Of any kind,
and now she does not want, or appear to
need anything to eat. Her condition re-
mains about the same. The strange con-
dition of Mrs. Ingram and the account of
the case published will be the occasion of
bringing together soon two brothers, who
did not know whether the other was dead
or alive. Mrs. Ingram's husband, Henry
Ingram, had n brother, George Ingram,
who left Lyons, n. Y, in 1859, going
west. Henry came to Battle Creek n year
later. George located in Detroit, and the
brothers have known nothing of each

An incident serving to show Herr mann's wonderful versatility occur red at ode of the performances the Harlem Opera House recently. The ribbons suspending the card case in the well-known trick where cards come on call from the audience broke at the climax of the trick itself. Any one but Hermann would have been nonplussed at the situation. The magician's embarrassment was not even visible. He invited one of the audience upon the stage, and putting the broken ease in his pocket bade the audience call for the cards from the mans pocket. They came as obediently as though in their ac- customed place, suspended by the ribbons. Those who thought ihey knew the secret of the trick perform ed in the old way were more puzzled than ever.-Dramatic Mirror.
