KANSAS HAILSTONES.
Weighed a Pound, Killed Dogs and
Knocked Horses Down.

Weighed a Pound, Killed Dogs and
Knocked Horses Down.
TOPEKA, Kan, June A-The worst
hail storm known in the history OF
Kansas struck this city shortly after
6 O'Clock tonight. Hail stones weigh
ing II to 16 ounces stripped the trees
of their foliage, smashed window
pabes on every hand, including the
finest plate glass store fronts, cut
down telegraph and telephone wires,
riddled awnings and inflicted unpre-
cedented damage throughout the city.
Dogs were struck in the streets and
instantly killed. Horses were knock
ed to their knees. Runaways occurr-
ed throughout the city. When the
fury Of the storm had passed, dead
birds were found everywhere A
heavy wind and terrific lightning ac-
cOmpanied the storm Topeka to-
night looks like a city that has with
stood siege of war guns. There are
not dozen buildings in town that
are not almost windowless and many
roofs were caved in. The roofs of
street cars also were pierced.
The damage wrought can better be
imagined when it is known that the
hailStOnes ranged in size from that of
hens egg to an ostrich egg, and that
thirty minutes after the storm one
hailstone was picked up which meas
ured fourteen inches in circumference.
Surgeons are busy dressing the
wounds OF persons injured ia the
storm and reports Of injuries continue
to be received. Many were hurt in
runawayS on the streets.

Walter Steele, travelling balloon
ist, met a tragic death at Lynchburg,
Va. yesterday, in the presence OF an
immense crowd of spectators, while
attempting dn ascension at River

placed in a small circular opening in a
large body Of woods. When the ropes
were cut the great gas-infiite bag
started rapidly upward and just as
the main body Of the balloon reached
the tops of the trees it was struck by
stroug gust OF wind, aud carried
with terrific force against the branches
of a tree, which stood on the margin
of deep ravine. The aeronaut was
hurled with tremendous force against
a limb of the tree, his neck being
broken by the contact. The body fell
with a sickening Lhud, and when ap-
preached 10y the horrified spectators
was found to be an unrecogniZible
mass. An aunt and sister OF The dead

The Governors Council Decides Upon
Plans for the Work.
A letter from Raleigh says the Gov
ernor's council has decided upon a
method Of letting the public printing.
Guy V. Barnes was given the contract
for all job work, the terms Of contract
to be drawn later. All pamphlets,
publications, etc under one hundred
pages, were designated under the head
of job work. The printing Of books
and reports, binding, etc, are to be
let to the lowest bidder; advertise
ment of the same to be made in daily
newspapers, and the council reserves
the right to reject aDv bids Prefer
ence is to be given North Carolina
firms.
1t was decided to put check on the
volume of printing, and the Secretary
of State or the council must give
written consent before any printing is
done
The Agricultural Department was
allowed TO make contract for its own
printing and to pay for the same.
1t is said the Caucasian. Senator

UNCLE SAM AND SPAIN
THE ADMINISTRA PLAYING A
WAITING GAME.
The Talk About the Critical Stage
Having Been Reached is Founded
Upon the Hopes of Cuban Sym
pathizers, Not Upon Facts.

By Telegraph to The Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Tbe opin
ion seems we'll grounded that the
present administration will play a
waiting game for while with Spain
over the Cuban question. When it is
re mem bered that Congress expects to
adjourn the middle of July and
Minister Woodford don't expect to
go to Madrid until after that, and
that a change OF Consul General at
Havana is still longer postponed, it Is
evident that much of the talk about
the .'critical stage" Of things having
been reached is founded rather upon
the hopes of the Cuban sympathiZers
than upon any outgiving from Ad-
miDist ration headquarters. 1t Is true
there is a crisis, but it is on Capitol
Hill rather than in the White House.
II the House can be held down till the
tariff bill is out Of the Senate, that
will become its primary business, OF
course, till the conference is flushed
and the enrolled bill is sent to the
President.
The Senate may rant and roar. but
in the huge game which is playing
here now one speaker with his own
code of rules is wort ten Senates with
out any rules worth mentioning.

THE CASH WAS GONE.
SOnEBODY MONKEYED WITH THE
MONEY DRAWER.

SAPPHIRE Brothers, Merchants, the
Victims, and Joseph Gordan, a
Skipped Clerk, Suspected of
Taking the Doodle With Him.
A few weeks ago a man giving his
name as Joseph Gordon came TO Win
ston and secured position with Sha-
piro Bros, the Hebrew merchants,
who assigned few days ago. The
hrm's store is in the municipal build
ing fronting on Main street.
Gordon was very polite and the
brothers congratulated themselves up
on securing such an excellent sales
man. A girl who stays at the store,
In speaking of him Saturday, re-
marked that he appeared To be as
nice as little ANGEL
Gordon boarded and had his room at
the home of the brothers, near the
North winston graded school. He
went to his room at III o'clock Friday
night, buo failed TO make his appear
ance this morning.
When one OF the brothers came to
the store nextmorning they found the
paddock to the front door Open The
regular lock was all right and it had
TO be broken 5ef0i. c1ofancc could be
eHected. upon examination ii was
discovered tnat about S75 or $50 had
been stolen from the money drawer.
1t is believed that Gordon also car
ried OF one or more suits OF clothes, If
not other goods. Gordon took the
store keys from the mantel in the din
ing room at the house.
One of the brothers said on Satur-
day that Gordon came here first as
tramp. He believes now that he has

The X OF z. excursion returned from

SENTINEL is pleased to learn that
the Knights will come out few dol
lars ahead on their venture.
''It was great and grand trip"
These and other similar expressions
were made by the excursionists next
morning Everybody was delighted.
Iany say 1t was the best and most en-
jOyable trip they ever took. Frank
Brown and Joe Rosenbacher will talk
about it for several days TO come. The
former says he wants To see the party
that did not have good time. The
latter paid p cents for stone at the
cave and he proposes TO have watch
charm made out Of it.
Many Of the knights are in favor OF
running another excursion to the same
place next year. There is no doubt
out what they would have much
larger crowd next time.
