A Correspondent Sends Breezy Story
About Sandstorms in Southern Kansas.
ST. LOUIS, April 2s.--The following
story, which was telegraphed by the
Topeka correspondent, and which,
therefore, must be accepted with some
reserve, appeared in the Republic in
the morning. A terrific storm swept
over the Arkansas valley in southwest
ern Kansas yesterday The wind blew
at the rate of 40 miles an hour. The
great valley, which averages ten miles
wide, is in a bed of sand, and pas
sengers who arrived on the trains
from that section say that people
were driven to their homes for protec-
ton against cloud of dust and sand
which no human being could face.
Many farmers will have to replant
their corn. The storm was so violent
that corn planted two inches under
ground was blown with the dust and
sand for miles, while the irrigation
bitches are full. Engineers could not
see ten feet ahead of them and win
dows and ventilators in the cars were
closed to prevent the passengers from
being smothered. Wheat fields have
suffered greatly.

There Are Now Twelve Thousand Applica-
tions on File with the Civil Service Com
mission.
WASHINGTON, April s2.-There are
now on file with the civil service com
mission in this city over $4,000 applica-
tions for examinations which have
been approved, all of which applicants
will have their fitness to hold public
office tested during the coming spring.
This number is quite three times as
large as the number of applicants who
went up for examination last spring,
and is more than the entire number
examined last fall and spring by the
commission. This large increase OF
the work of the commission is simply
due to the fact that there are now 40
900 places within the classified service
that were excepted year ago, 1t is
also discovered by the commission that
many of the applicants are men and
women who Immediately after the
election discovered that political inhu-
ence was of no service in getting them
places, and that the only way in which
they might get on the rolls of the gov.
ment was through an examination.
