footsteps No man can
stand the strain of modern business COM
petition who wilfully neglects his health.
1t is not good policy to overwork, but the
man who looks after his health can stand a
great deal of it. The man who neglects his
health is soon untitled for work. When a
mans digestion is disardered and his bow
els are irregular, his blood becomes impure
and the body is badly nourished The vic
tim of these conditions suffers from brain
flag, nervous prostration, and debility. and
eventually falls victim to consumption.

corrects the digestion, invigorates the liver,
improves the appetite and regulates the
bowels. 1t is the best blood-purifier, blood
maker, fesh-builder, and nerve tonic. It
makes a man we'll, strong, clear-headsd and
fit for business. 1t enables him to stand a
reasonable amount of overwork. All good
druggists sell it. There's nothing "just
as good"

A SHOWER OF NEVIS.
Descends on St Louis in a Fall of
Rain,

St Louis June 25.-DiemictiluS Viri-
descens is the book term for a peculiar
little individual part reptile, part fish
and part animal that is supposed to
frequent deep, dark holes and spend
most of it's time in taking a bath. Where
there are more than one the termina-
tion of the name is in l. and there you
have an introduction to what apparent
ly came down from the clouds at the
union Stockyards.
The rain had been falling about ten
minutes when several hundred of the
little animals put in an appearance.
They did not come all at once. First
one came, then two or three, then
few more and at last there was an on
sIaught that made it seem that the
supply was ineXhaustible. They ceased
coming down at last and turned their
attention to scUrrying to places of safe
ty. No one at the StOckyardS can ex-
plain the strange visitation. The ne
gro population sees in it an omen of
dread portent while the attaches of the
stockyards of an inquiring turn of mind
are trying to learn whether there is
any resort on the river front freQuented
by the reptiles.
The Diemictilus Viridescens, in plain
English, is an aquatic salamander,
sometimes called a newt, at other times
a triton and on occasions an eft. Those
who are really familiar with them call
them water dogs"

residence and many others are in a
worse condition.
The hail went right through my
roof" said Mr.. StOckham. "and into
the bedrooms. 1t broke the shutters
and the windows as if they had been
paper. The roof was so badly dam
aged that the rain ran down inside the
rooms and under the carpets SO that
all the carpets in the house win have to
be taken up.
THE house next to mine, occupied by
Miss Graham, is in worse shape than
mine. The hail split the siding and
the wind which came after it tore it off.
The hail cut down trees as thick as my
wrist. 1 measured some of the hail
stones a half hour after they fell and
they were Is inches in circumference.
The car going to Oakland was
caught in the storm. Two or three
hailstOnes went through the roof and
the women who were in the car went
down on their knees and began pray
ing
Mr.. Stockham said that the most seri-
Gus accident he heard of in Oakland
occurred to a man named Clapp. He
was knocked down by being struck on
the head and his scalp was ripped
open. He was carried home and a
doctor was called who sewed up the
wound.

IN THE COUNTRY.
The Hail Storm Not sosevere-Crops
Damaged But Not Destroyed.

Damaged But Not Destroyed.
The indications are that the storm
in the country was not so severe as in
the city.
Farmers north of town report heavy
hail and wind. Windows were broken
but so far as reported no one was hurt-
Growing corn is somewhat damaged
The storm east of the city was Sc
we're but there was less hail The farm
of Scott Kelsey which is on the border
spec < Of The Fegion east of his farm
was not badly damaged.
/ A. Eddy who lives on the Tenth
street road just west of the Lee farm
six miles west of the city reported
light hail storm at his place. He says
that north of his place in the river bot
tom there was more hail but farther
west the hail was light until ten miles
west of the city there was none
Three miles south of the city at the
Freeman Foster farm there was but
little damage. A few windows were bro
ken but the hail was not so large as fell
in Topeka.
Farmers from the country southeast
of Topeka, report a wholesale destruc-
tion of window glass. The hail was
heavier in that section than anywhere
around the city excepting Oakland. The
large corn was beaten down and many
fields are badly damaged.
George Hungate who lives on farm
near Oakland was injured by being hit
by a large hail stone. He was attempt
a field when a hail stone struck him on
the right shoulder He was stunned
but was able to get to the house unas-
sisted.

A SCIENTIFIC VI EW.
Weather Observer Jennin gs Tells
What Caused the Large
HaiIstoues
known.

Weather Observer Jennings has
scientific theory for the hail storm. He
says that the large hailstOnes of last
evening were caused by what is known
as a horizontal whirI of the atmosphere
A tornado, he says, whirIs vertically,
but last nights whirI was horizontal
There were two currents of air which
were different in temperature. The
lower was very warm and the upper
very cool These two engaged in an
horizontal Whirl. The warm air heaV-
lily laden with moisture was hurled up
in the cool air and frozen. When the
moisture was CONCEALED it dropped into
the warm current of air again, but so
great was the velocity of the horizontal
whirl that the small hailstOnes were
taken up in to the cold air again and
the moisture they had collected below
was frozen around them. Finally when
they became too big to be carried up
again they dropped to the earth. This,
Mr.. Jennings declares, was the cause of
such large hailstones.
The hail was formed near to the eaYsh
as the rain clouds were easily seen to
be close to the tops of high buildings.
Even Mr.. Jennings never saw as large
haiiStOneS before.

STORM SPREAD OVER MISSOURI
Great Damage From Wind and Light
ning-Some Lives Lost.

St. Louis. June 25.-The reports of
hnOis and Missouri continue to be re-
ceived. Last night and until an early
hour today ST. Louis was again de
luged with rain. While the wind has
been destructive to trees, crops and
buildings, in some sections, the rain
has grea tly benefited some crops.
Around Cairo, ILL.,, fully five inches of
rain has fallen within the last week,
breaking the drOuth and saving corn
and other crops. Reports from nearly
every section of Southern Illinois indi-
cate that while the yield of wheat is
below the average, the quality is un-
usually good.
St. Joseph, No. suffered, especially
from the wind. Big trees were uprOOt-
ed and small buildings crushed. Tele-
phone and telegraph service was sus-
pended for some time but so far as
learned no lives were lost. The other
points throughout the state where the
storm was especially severe were Mo
berry, Alexandria, Fayatte, Trenton and
California Several were killed by
lightning Mrs. Reuben ROckabaugh.
wife OF a farmer was instantly killed
while sitting at the window Of her house
two miles from Albany. Albert Rouster
a farm hand living near St. Charles,
No, also suffered death in the same
way while a number of farmers in both
Illinois and Missouri had barns and
crops burned by lightning. The big
Advance elevator, "a in East st. Louis
in which was stored 500, 600 bushels of
grain was struck by lightning and set
on fire last night, but fremen saved 1t
from destruction.

JUMPS INTO A o1sTERN.
One Man Seeking Safety Finds Him
self in a Dangerous Situation.

S0A4 III d S1GuaC1On.
An employe of the Santa Fe shops
whose name is given as Mason was
nearly drowned during the storm, in a
cistern on East Fourth street
The man had been employed in the
shops but a Snort time He is from
Texas, where he was in two disastrous
tOrnadOes. When he saw the black
clouds rolling up in the northwest he at
once concluded that there was a tOrna-
do headed for Topeka. When the rum
BILE which preceded the storm was heard
he was almost frantic. He ran to the
rear of the Pleasant Home boarding
house, where a new cistern had been
built and was in use.
How much water is there in the els
tern?' he inquired.
About five feet" said someone con-
nected with the house
'tAL right, that is not too deep" said
the thoroughly frightened man, and he
plunged into the ciStern. The water
came to his armpitS and as the hail
began to patter on the pavement and
roofs those around the cistern ran to
the house.
The storm had about spent its force
when shouts were heard from the direc-
tiOn of the cistern.
For Gods sake help me out" shout
ed the man in the cistern. IN drown
I'll drown!"
The rain was falling and the water
had commenced to pour in on the man
in the cistern. When help reached
him the water was around his neck.
He was powerlesS to help himself for
the cistern was of brick and arched
over.
Dan Lane, who is also employed in
the paint shop and two or three other
men succeeded in pulling the Texan out
of the cistern, but he was almost dead
with fright.

IN A MOB'S HANDS.
United States Troops Wanted
at Key West at Once.

Washington, June Ex-Governor Blox-
ham of Florida, has called on the war de-
partment for United States troops to aid
him in restoring order at Key West,
which place he says. is in the hands of
mob. No particulars are given. Secre-
tary Alger is now in consultation with
the president on the subject. The trouble
is supposed here to have arisen from an
attempt yesterday to lynch a negro ac-
cused of assault.
During the preliminary hearing man
named PendIeton arose in court and ask
ed if there not men enough to lynch the
prisoner. Great excitement ensued, but
the negro was Jailed safely.
Later in the afternoon the negroes st.
tempted to mob Pendleton, but he was
rescued by the authorities. The local
militia assembled at the armory and slept
on their arms as the attitude of the ne
groes caused apprehension of race trou-
bleS.

THE LARGEST HA11sroNE
Went Through the Roof of the Power
House-15 Inches in circumference.

Went Through the Roof of the Power
House-15 Inches in circumference
The largest hailstone which fell last
evening so far reported was one which
crashed through the roof of the power
station of the Topeka Railway com
pany at Second stret and jefferson ave-
nue.. With the terrific flash of light
ming which seemed to release a whole
ice plant, this hailstone struck the gray
el roof over the dynamOs. The roof is
fOur-ply and was considered proof
against most flying missiles.
The hailstOne broke through the roof
and fell on the floor. The haiIstone
must have been the combination of sew
eral haiIstones which froze together in
the descent. 1t made a triangular hole
in the power house roof, three and one
fourth inches in diameter When pick
ed up and measured it was found that
1t was IS inches in length, was triangu-
lar in shape and measured three and
one-tourth inches through the narrow
way Lines through the interior of it
showed that it must have been forced
together and was composed of other
hallstones- Mr.. J. L. Chase, engineer at
the power house made the measure
ments and he vouches for the correct
ness OF the statement

The KIumpp block was blown in, the

the fair grounds, were completely de-
molished.
The streets are blocked with trees,
fences and outbuiIdings, signs and plate
glass.
The Christian and Episcopal churches
were wrecked. The rOundhouse of the
Memphis railway was a total wreck
and freight cars were blown from the
tracks in the Pacific and Memphis
yards. No lives were lost, though
Thomas Smith at the zinc works was
struck by flying timbers and badly in
Jured and several others were more or
less seriously hurt. The damage to
crops alone will amount to thousands
of dollars. The storm lasted for thirty
minutes. The rain fell in binding

RICH HILL, MO. SWEPT
BY a Tornado That OVerturns
Smelters
And Other Buildings-NOt Many
Lives Are Lost.

Pueblo Colo, June 25.-The hail storm
that passed over this city and vicinity
last night was the most severe ever eX-
perienced here. IncredulOuS persons
are inclined to doubt the statements
made in regard to the size of the stones
which fell but many are willing to
make affidavit that some of the hail
stones weighed over eight ounces. In
Bessemer, a stone was picked up which
measured 10% inches in circumference
and weighed S24 ounces.
Fortunately the path of this storm
was not wide and its duration was not
great. For this reason little damage
was done although some windows were
broken in the southern portion of the
city. The storm extended for some dis
tance east and farmers arriving from
that locality report that the crops and
orchards have been very severely dam
aged, and it is thought that some stock
has been killed

People must wait, orders can be filled
in Kansas City and Chicago.
Every eSta abIiShment in the city which
carries a stock of glass has employed
force of extra men who have been busy
all day trying to supply the demand.
People are having the lights placed
where they will do the most good. The
large skylight in the Keith building
which was almost totally destroyed has
not yet been touched. Rain today would
still do a great deal Of damage.

glass. OF these three one man had a
