NUMBER y.

known in Prowers county since its
settlement by a farming population.
The heaviest sufferers were those who
have done the most to improve the
country. All growing crops were
complete wreck on the farms of
Messrs. Hagadorn, Mohl. Hanson,
Leslie, Blumer and Parish. More
than three. fourths of the thousands
of fruit trees set out in the last two
years are totally destroyed. A more
complete destruction of growing
things can not be conceived. 1t is
fortunate that the area of the storm
was small but quite unfortunate that
the best improved farms in the coun-
ty should be SO utterly desolated.

WALKER SEES FAILURE.
The Massachusetts Congressman Dis
pleased With Monetary Con-
ference.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 14--Many of
the delegates to the monetary conven-
ton remained over till today. A gen.
eral sense of satisfaction at the result
of the convention is expressed by a
large majority of them. Congressman
man of the house banking and curren-
cy committee, is as strongly against
the conventions work as ever. Today
Mr. Walker said:
II do not think any good will come of
the convention. I think it has adopted
a plan that will delay, if it does not
defeat, the purpose it had in view. The
portents of evil which hang upon and
threaten the conclusions of the con-
Vention may be enormous. There is an
immense body of the people of this
country who will take the same thing
who will not take it from a committee
composed of people whom it was shown
in the last canvass they hold to be an
tagOniStic to their interests. The re-
suit of the action of the convention
will put into the hands of the persons
in the country who have prejudiced
the masses against the men who form
ed this convention a new weapon.
Whatever the scheme devised, 1T
will invite opposition and prejudice
and make it all the more difficult for
congress to pass it. They have con-
Structed report TO harvest the crop in
a walled four acre lot that wiki tread
down everything as it turns around in
it. Being a delegate from my city to
the convention, 1 felt it not only my
right, but my duty, to point out what
I thought was mistake"
Mr. Walker said that he had no apOl-
ogies to make for having stated the
fault to find with others who did the
same.

UNIVERSAL PEACE
Is Regarded as the Possible Outcome
of the Arbitration Treaty.

London, Jan. 14-A Vienna dispatch
to the Times says: The Anglo Amer
lean treaty seems likely to revive the
old popular movement against militar-
ism. Never were the newspapers more
unanimous in judging of a great inter-
national event. The opinions they ex-
press are an echo of a widespread feel
ing against the bloated ornaments of
Europe and of a hope of a dawn of
better era"
The correspondent of the Times at
Berlin remarks upon the treaty of the
satisfaction displayed by the papers in
Berlin, which seize upon the signing of
the treaty to point out that it serves
the interest of the Anglo-Saxon, claim
ing a predominance and spreading it
self to all parts of the globe. Accord
ing to the same correspondent the Cler-
ical Kolnishne Volks Zeitung rejoices in
the event and says of it: This sue
cess is Calculated to lead to others If the
aims of the Pan American congress in
1889 should be authorized guarantees
will be assured for the permanent peace
of 120 million inhabitants of North and
South America and of millions of other
English speaking people,

forts of three Catholic cardinals, name

CHURCHES SEEK M'KINLEY.
Five Washington Congregations Offer
Him AlIuring CourtesieS

Washington. Jan. 14.-Major McKin-
ley has not yet decided what church he
will attend in Washington.
Soon after his election five of the
most prominent Methodist congrega-
tions sent him letters offering the cour-
tesies of their churches during his resi-
dence in the capital. The president
elect has responded to these invitations
with cordial letters which are SO much
alike that no one can say that he has
shown a preference for any particular
church.
He has thanked the congregations for
their courtesy, but intimates that he
will make no definite arrangements
until after his inauguration.
The Foundry church, of which Rev.
o. A. Brown is pastor; the Metropoli-
tan, of which Rev. Hugh Johnson is
pastor; the Union, of which Rev. Alex
ander Bielaski is pastor; the Fifteenth
Street church, of which Rev. W. w.
van Arsdale is pastor, and Trinity
church, of which Rev. Gustavus w.
Hobbs is pastor, are the churches
which have invited Major Mckinley
and his family to worship with them.
