HAILSTORM AT TOPEKA
Kansas Capital Looks Like It Had Been Be-
aeged.
Windows Broken, House Roofs Pierc-
Down by HailstOnes.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 25.-Topeka this
morning looks like city that has with
stood siege of war guns. There are not a
dozen buildings in the town that are not
windowless and many roofs were .caved in.
The worst hailstorm known in the history
OF Kansas struck this city shortly after 6
O'Clock last night. Hailstones, weighing
twelve to sixteen ounces, stripped the trees
of their foliage. smashed window panes on
every hand. including the finest plate glass
fronts. cut down telegraph and telephone
wires, riddled awnings, and inflicted I'M
precedented damage throughout the city.
Dogs were struck in the streets and in
stantly killed. Horses were knocked to
their knees. to rise again and dash away
In mad fright. Runaways occurred through
out the city. When the fury of the storm
had passed dead birds were found every
where. A heavy wind and terrific light
ming accompanied the storm. The roofs Of
street cars were also pierced. The damage
wrought can better be imagined when it is
known that the hailstones ranged In size
from that of a hens egg to an astrich egg,
and that three minutes after the storm one
hailstone was picked up which measured
fourteen inches in circumference.
Surgeons were kept busy dressing the
wounds Of persons injured in the storm,
and reports of injuries continue to be re-
ceived. Many were hurt in runaways on
the streets.
The following are among the most seri-
ously hurt:
Frank Brainsrd, hsckma n, skull fractured
J. D. Henderson. liveryman, skull frac-
tured.
Roy White. leg broken in a runaway.
Mrs. Mary Hughes, arm broken in rum
away.
D. X. Lee, bad scalp wound.
Miss Anna Fenton. head cut.
Fred Holler, head cut.

Charles johnson, struck on head and rem
dered unconscious
Policeman Kidney, fingers broken in pro-
tee ting head with hands.
Miss Cornie, badly wounded on head, In
hospital.
Hickman Frank Brainard is still uncon-
scious and will probably die
The damage cannot be estimated but it
will amount to thousands. Window glass
Is already at a premium here, and three
carloads have been ordered from Kansas
City. Street car traffic is stopped and the
electric system of the city is demoralzed.

Words of Hope for Weak Men

Men with weakened powers and ex-
hau,ted vigor have been taught TO
believe that such cases are hope
less. They lose all ambition and give
themselves up to despair. Their con
dition may be the result Of habits, or in
discretions, or it may be to certain tX-
tent inherited, but there is compensation
in Nature and these ills are durable.

high which gives entire satisfaction.
This silo is placed two feet below the
surface. In such a case pieces of old
lumber should be put around the outside
to prevent the earth, banked up to shed
surface water, from coming in contact
with the slaves. (The boards were re-
moved from the front when the photo
was taken.) When commencing to fill,
do not be alarmed if you can see through
the cracks. The damp silage will swell
and the cracks will be tight in "a hours.
Beware of knotholes or places in the
edges of tho boards that do not fit. Tack
piece of tar paper over them. Try the
hoops after the silo is filled a few days,
and if too tight slacken the nuts, or
there is danger of bursting the hoops.
The only bottom required is the earth

the inside to keep the air from coming

reduce tho surface exposure as much as

The liquor Business in
Politics.
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt J

The liquor business, says Hon. Theo-
dore Roosevelt in the September Atlantic,
does not stand on the same footing with
other occupations. 1t always tends to
produce criminality in the population at
large, and law-breaking among the saloon
keepers themselves. 1t is absolutely
necessary TO supervise it rigidly, and to
impose restrictions upon the traffic. In
large cities the traffic cannot be stopped,
but the evils can at least be minimized.
In NV York, the saloon-keepers have
always stood high among professional
politicians. Nearly two thirds of the pol
itical leaders of Tammany Hall have been
in the liquor business at one time or an
other. The saloon is the natural club and
and meetii g-place for the ward heelers
leaders, and the bar-room politician is
one of the most common and best recog
nlzed factors in local government. The
saloon-keepers are always hand in glove
with the professional politicians, and oc-
cupy toward them such position as is
not held by any other class of men. The
influence they WELD in local politics has
always been very great, and until our
board took office no man ever dared seri
ously to threaten them for their fragrant
violations of the law. The powerful and
influential saloon-keeper was glad to see
the shops of his neighbors closed for it
gave him business. On the other hand, a
corrupt police-captain, or the corrupt poll
tcian who controlled him, could always
extort money from a saloon keeper by
threatening to close his place and let his
neighbours remain open.
