CRIPPLE CREEK IN RUINS.
Several Squares Burned Involving
a Money Loss Of
100000.

Cripple Greek, Col, April 2-One
million dollars is a conservative estimate
of the damage doEe by fire here Satur-
day. The amount of insurance, as near
ly as can be arrived at, will not exceed
$25O,OOO. When the fire broke out in
a secondhand store the danger of big
contiagration was not perceived and it
was thought that the fremen, who were
early on the scene, would have the flames
under control in a very few minutes
But in short time the fire had spread
to the adjoining buildings and brisk
wind sprung up. Then it was conceded
by all that at least half dozen buildings
on the corner of Meyers and Third streets
would go, and the occupants began to
move out. But many had waited too
long and were unable to save their goods.
Some barely escaped with their lives.
Several women were dangerously burned.
Every minute added fury to the flames,
and when the fire had spread several
doors on either side the danger to the
city was observed, but no one could real
ize how great the damage would be.
The heat became so intense that build
ings on the north side of Meyers street
took fire. Then it was that occupants
of stores and Offices began to make prep
arations to save their possessions. Ev-
cry wagon in town was pressed into serV-
ice. Not tenth part of the goods were
saved.
BY the time the postoffice had caught
it became evident that the only way to
stop the progress of the fire was to blow
up the building with dynamite. This
was done under the supervision of the
firemen, and number of buildings had
to be sacrificed before the fire had
reached them. The fire started about
1 o'clock, and by 4 it had demolished the
blocks in Meyers between Third and
Fifth streets, and in Bennett between
Third and Fifth streets, stopping just
this side of the New Midland depot.
Nearly all the buildings between Third
and Fifth streets in Eaton were de-
stroyed. Many people lost everything
they had.
The property in Meyers street was
occupied in the most part by saloons:
The two variety theaters, Topic and
Hollans's. were there, and innumerable
dance halls. Grace Clifton was badly
burned about the face and hands. j.
Anderson, while placing a charge of
dynamite under the Sisters hospital to
blow it up. had leg torn off by Il pre-
mature explosion. The postoffice in Ben
net avenue is total wreck, only the
vault standing. Twenty thousand let
ters and thousands of packages were
DESTROYED

CARRIES GUNS TO CUBA.
Razor-back Steamer Howard CassarG
Ready to Start.

RaZOr-back Steamer Howard Cassard
Ready to Start.
Washington, d. c.. April 25.-Another
Cuban tlibustering expedition is under
way and the curious steamship Howard
Cassard, for which Congressman Wood
man of Chicago has been negotiating,
is the medium chosen to transfer Il heavy
cargo of munitions of war from the
United States to the island. After lying
over in Alexandria for several years the
Cassard was quietly towed down to New
port News the other day.
Dispatches from Newport News today
say the ship was sent to the shpyard to
undergo repairs during the next week
or ten days. 1t is limited this move
is only to deceive the authorities and
that the vessel will slip out from Hamp-
ton Roads Sunday. All access to the
vessel has been strictly denied. There
have been a dozen or so very reticent
men at work on her. A number of
packages arrived at the Alexandria yard
which were said to contain pieces of ma
chinery. but which an ordnance expert
today declared were boxes of ammuni-
ton and eases of rifles sent from Il we'll
known factory and slowed away N the
hold of the vessel.
1t is understood that the services of the
Cassard have been secured at the rate Of
$4,000 for each round trip.

SWEPT BY A CYCLONE.
Eight Persons Are Known to
Have Been Killed.
Heart-Rending Tales Of Suffering MANY
Seriously Injured.

Topeka. Kas., April 27.-Eight per-
sons. at least. were killed outright, three
fatally and seventeen more or less in
jured, and great destruction OF properly
was wrought by a cyclone which passed
over Clay county Saturday night.
The dead are:
FRANK PETERSON, WIFE AND ONE
Ell RALTHAZAR AND WIFE.
JULIUS TREMBLY.
Jesse HAN.
MRS. HALBERSON.
DxUGHTER OF FRANK PETERSON,
FRA. FRANK WILKINSON. cannot live.
' SIX CHILDREN OF ELI BALTHAzAR;
more or less injured
The cyclone took the people unawares;
and. so far as learned. most OF them nad
retired. The storm struck Peter Ander-
sons house at $3.50 o'clock. inns was
ahout a mile from the starting point.
The house was demolished in an instant.
Every member of the Anderson family
was injured When they had extrlcated
themselves from the. debris they dlscov-
cred that Anderson's grandchild was
missing. It's dead body was found this
morning half mile away III a ravlne;
Anderson alarmed the neighbors VINO
lived out of the track of the storm, ana
search was commenced for victims.
Couricrs were sent to Clifton and Nor
ganville for doctors, but it was daylight
before they arrived. and the extent OF
the injury and damages were known.
At noon today it was thought all the VIC
Tins had been found. A large number
of cattle and horses were killed and
fruit in the storms track was ruined. 1t
is impossible at this time to estimate the
damage to buildings and other property.
Heart-rending tales of suffering are
told by citizens who visited the scenes Of
the storm. Many of the injured lay all
night pinned down by wreckage, and
others crawled or hohbled across the
country to neighbours homes. In several
instances people were lifted into the air
by the cyclone and carried some distance
and then suddenly dropped. Buildings
were lifted up and then hurled to the
ground with force enough to demolish
them. The wife and daughter of John
Morris were reading when the shock
came. The women managed to get out,
when the wind picked them up, carried
them 200 yards and dropped them safely
down on straw pile just away from
the storms track

SAT0LLI RECEIVES NO WORD.
Speculation as to His Successor is Mere
Guess Work.


Washington, D. c., April 25.-Cardi-
nal Satolli has received no intimation,
official or otherwise, as to his successor
as papal delegate and the report that
Delegate Avlardi, present nuncio to
Mexico, would succeed him at Washing
ton is regarded based only on speculation,
rs no determination has been reached at
Rome. There is some doubt expressed
as to whether the delegate to Mexico
would be transferred to the United
States just as his services, in Mexico
were beginning. As yet there is no in
timation of the time of Cardinal Satolli's
departure. There have been unofficial
reports current in Rome that consstory
would assemble in June, in which case
Cardinal Satolli might be summoned to
Rome, although his presence at the con-
sistory would not be imperative. The
general impression prevails that when
the cardinal returns to Rome he will be-
come member of the propaganda as a
result Of his intimate acquaintance with
the affairs of the church throughout the
world and particularly in America.

FORM A BICYCLE PRAYING CORPS.

Sunday Bicycle Riding.

New York. April 25.-The bicycle proc
lem is perpleXing the members of Balling
ton Booths new Volunteer army. So
many of the Volunteers have been vexed
over the question as to whether or not it
is proper to ride wheel Sundays that
the commander has issued an opinion
in which he says: ut is all right to
ride the bicycle on Sunday. 1t is better
to work the pedals than to work the
trainmen on the cars.
The enterprising commander has even
gone further. He is considering organ
izing bicycle praying corps. the aim of
which will be to make quick runs to
neighboring towns Sundays and hold out
door prayer meetings, returning the same
day.
This will enable the Volunteers to
reach many ort-of-the-way places where
trains do not run SUNDAYS.

Smoking Car Passengers We're Sur.
prised to Have aWoman with Them.
A woman, perfectly dressed, en-
tered the smoking car of a suburban
train bound for New York the other
morning, says the New York Jour
nal. The men who saw her supposed
chat she intended to pass through.
Halfway down the aisle, however,
she dropped into a seat. The gentle
man who occupied the seat behind
her leaned forward and touched her
on the shoulder.
II beg your pardon, he said, "but
this is the smoking car"
Thank you," she replied, Il
thought So.
Then calmly she produced a
dainty cigarette case, distracted a
cigarette and wax match, and in a
moment more was smoking with all
the calm enjoyment of man. There
was flutter of amusement through
the car; smiles, grins, sotto-voce re-
marks, and curious glances in her
direction; but she seemed so serene
" self-possessed that she was soon
forgotten for the morning papers.
When the conductor came through
he was almost overcome.
Madam, said he, this no place
for ladies"
Indeed she replied. "Is not
this the smoking carr"
eyes, ma'am."
"Well, I am smoking; that is why
am here"
Nevertheless, madam, must re-
quest you to go into another car"
"a request with which l must re-
fuse to comply, and which l do not
think it would be policy for you to
to enforce" she returned
calmly, and she settled back in the
seat with an air OF such offended
dignity and positiveness that the
after thinking very hard
for a moment, sighed and passed on.
The woman did not wear boomers
md was not mannish in any partic-
liar. She seemed as refined as a
could be.
