timbers from the wrecked houses OF

have only lost property are going up and

Of 1t. some parts OF the house. bed-cloth-
ing or wearing apparel.
The scene Is a distressing one. Blocks
where yesterday stood a home on nearly
every lot are stripped bare; huge trees,
torn up by their roots, are scattered
about everywhere; great gulches are
washed out Of the streets: gardens are
devastated. fruit trees leveled, lawns and
flower beds cleared of level as a table,
and fences completely gone.
The 1900 homeless people were fed and
sheltered last night, and additional re-
lief committees were formed today.
The cold wave which started in at 4
p. m. yesterday and continued today will
prove a blessing. The sun shone bright

TARIFF BILL.
Chicago, April 2S.-The Posts Wash

Chicago, April 29.-The POST Wash
ington special says:
Senator Jones Of Nevada, who holds
the reins Of power, has Joined with the
democratic members of the finance COM
mittee in Directing to reporting the tar
if bill direct to the senate as framed
by the republican members. This move
is a disappointment to the republican
senator's and the administration bill will
have to be reported to the full commit
tee and he democratic members Of the
committe say while they do not intend
to obstruct the measure they propose to
take time for its careful consideration
before permitting it to come before the
senate. The democrats refuse to let the
republicans name a date for the report
of the bill and say it will be held in
committee in two or three weeks. The
chances for an early passage Of the bill
are diminishing and it may be August
before 1t goes to the president.

AMERICUS CLUB.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 29.-The eleventh
annual banquet Of the Americus club in
memory OF General Grant. was held to-
night in spite of Il fire in the banquet
hall, which destroyed the decoration and
threatened for a time to put a stop ia
the ceremonies. The club had made
great preparations for the event and the
decorators had been at work for sew
eral days and had adorned the ceiling
with four rows Of inverted pyramids
constructed OF red, white and blue bunt-
ing. The pyramids, several hundred in
number entirely covered the ceiling, and
the points extended to within about
eight feet Of the floor. An electric light
was suspended from the tip of each and
a bunch of smilax festooned from point
to point. The general effect was very
beautiful. The windows were also ar
tistically draped and in the center OF
the north wall was a life size portrait
OF the hero OF the .Appomatox. The
cub management wished to secure a
photograph of the decorated hall and an
attempt to secur a flash light caused
an explosion which was quickly follow
ed by flames that practically destroyed
the entire decoration OF the hall. Men
were at once put to work to remove the
debris and the banquet was delayed on
ly about an hour. The dismantled con-
detraction from the evenings enjoy

THE STUDY OF GENEALOGY.
Revival Of Interest in Family History
and Its Cause and Effect.

The recent growth and increase OF so
cieties in which eligibility to member
ship depends upon the deeds of ances.
tors rather than upon the personal quail.
fications OF members. has resulted In a
great revival OF the study Of generalogy
in this country. We have the Sons and
the Daughters Of the Revolution. the So.
ciety of Colonial Wars. Society of the
Wal of 1872, Colonial Danes. Society OF
the M~ayflower Descendants. Holland So
clety and others, organized and organ
izing. To become a member OF any of
these. n record of the family history is
required.
1t is an injustice to characterize this
movement as merely a society rad or
passing fancy. 1t is much more. 1t
stimulates a desire for genealogical and
historical research, a pleasing and inter
esting study. 1t leads to a proper re-
spect for ones ancestors, and creates a
desire to emulate their work for the COOL
of ones family and country. 1t reviv2s
an interest in American history. and pro
notes patriotism, good citizenship and
love OF country. Therefore. the move
ment is one TO be commended, and thou
sands are now making a study Of their
family history. In fact. every person
should compile and preserve such a fami-
ly record. for it may be of great value
to future generations. if not to them
selves.
Foremost among journals to aid in ex-
tending this interesting study is The
Mail and Express, which maintains n
weekly department devoted to queries
Cor family records and replies thereto.
The department is open to anyone who
wishes TO make use OF it. In this con-
nectlon the paper is printing a long SER
les of articles devoted to the history Of
the families and descendants of the
Signers OF the Mayhower Compact, which
are particularly timely just at present.
UNITED STATES COURT TIED UP.
The United States court, which was
set to be held in Cheyenne on May 10th
is liable not to convene upon that date
as no appropriation has been made to
meet the expense thereof. The grand
jury Was called for May 10th, and tie
petit jury for May 18th. 4 jasy term
was eXpecpI as there was quite u num-
Der G'cases, including one murder trial
sd several moonshine cases.
n Denver Judge Hallett has discharg-
ed he jurors from service. there being
no money available for their pa ment.
The docket is quite large. there being
over 300 cases for disposition. The fail
ure Of the last congress to make appro-
priations for the expenses of the govern
ment is unfortunate, although it was the
opinion Of many that the omission would
oe speedily provided for.-Sun-Leader.
