Killed in a Wind Storm.

SOrTH MCALESTER, INDIAN TERRI
TORY. March PA terrific windstorm
swept over the country between this place
and Lehigh and Colgate last night. -Four
farmhouses were demolished and the occu-
pants Of three of them are reported to
have been killed
Passengers arriving from Lehigh tonight
state that in the country southeast of here
the cyclone did great damage and that
many are said to be killed and injured.
Physicians from various towns have been
sent to the scene Of the reported disaster,
LINCOLN. NEBRASKA. March GA
severe storm, probably the worst of the
winter, prevailed in Central and Southeast
Nebraska this afternoon. The snow
driven by high wind, was binding and
was followed by drop in temperature in
some localities Of over fifty degrees. In
Lincoln street car traffic was badly inter
fered with The only bad effects appre-
hended is to spring wheat and fruit trees,
which, with many days of unusual warm
weather made rapid development.

Rain in the Flood District.

CINCINNATI, ONO, March 2S.-Until
the weather becomes settled there can be
no reliable prediction in regard to the flood
in the Ohio. Rain began about O. clock
this morning and the precipitation here up
to Z this morning was one half inch. To-
night rain is reported from Portsmouth to
Parkersburg
The swell that brought the Ohio to 81
feet here this morning came from the Big
Miami below, the Little Miami above and
from the hillside torrents on both banks of
the river further up the stream. From 5
to s o clock this afternoon the river was
stationary. Since then it has risen one
tenth Of foot hourly, and at 10 o clock
tonight is 81 $40 feet.
What it will be tomorrow depends
wholly on whether or not there will be
additional rainfall in the Ohio Valley. All
railways are running trains on their regu-
lar lines tonight
River pirates are reaping a harvest
They are all astir in skiffs now, picking up
whatever they can lay hands on and com
pelling owners ashore TO place double
guard on property.
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, March Is
The Wabash and White rivers are on the
rampage. In some portions of Southern
Indiana the Wabash is said to be ten miles
wide. Much live stock has been drowned
in the lowlands The Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern Road has lost heavily, many
hundreds of feet Of roadbed having been
washed away Wheat all along the low
lands Of Indiana southern rivers has been
destroyed. The Wabash levee, near En-
ison, twelve miles long, protecting many
thousands of acres of land, known as Lower
Shaker Prairie, has been broken away and
much damage is resulting. Stock and
families are being rescued by steamboats,
MAscoUTAH, ILLINOIS, March IS
Reports indicate that the great levees, 20
miles up the Kaskaskia, are expected to
be swept away Many farmers are aban-
doning their homes in the lowlands.
SULLIVAN, INDIANA, March 28.-The
levee on the Wabash river went out to-
night with break of 100 feet, entailing
a loss of 800, 900.
Twenty thousand acres of land are over
flowed and hundreds of families are rem
dered homeless and destitute. Citizens
are responding for miles around in their
efforts to remove families and stock Hun
dreds OF cattle and horses are hemmed in.
During the past "a hours 400 inches
of rain fell.

Patagonian Workmanship.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
1t may be as well to refer to some other
tribes about Cape Horn which attracted the
attention of Professor Hatcher For ex-
ample may be mentioned the Yahgans,
who live nearer to the South Pole than
any other known people, They occupy
certain small islands lying south of Terra
del Fuego, and are found also on the south
beach of that great island itself. The
territory they occupy is maze Of noun
tain peaks, and the conditions under which
they exist are almost beyond realization by
a civilized person.
The typical weapon of the Iahgans is
the rawhide sling, with which they are
able to hit water fowl at 200 yards
TO hit any bird at that distance would be
called right good shooting. They can
knock down and stun a guanaco with a
heavy round pebble up to hundred yards.
The reason for the sling as IA tool Of de-
struction is found in the fact that the
Yahgans live on the beachs where plenty
of round pebbles are always at hand.
These islanders fry out oil from whale
blubber and store it up for future use in
the bladder-like leaves of a kind of sea-
weed found everywhere in that region.
Quite distinct and peculiar is the Ona
tribe, which inhabits the prairie region of
Terra del Fuego. This great island has
the shape of triangle and is almost as
large as the State of New York Once
upon time it must have had tropical
climate. inasmuch as the bones of mon
KEYS and parrots are found fossils there in
great numbers.
The Onas have no horses They eat
those they capture from the sheep men.
considering horse meat the greatest of deli
cacies. They depend for food chiefly upon
the guanaco, which abounds in Terra del
Fuego. and kind of prairie squirrel. In
the chase they rely mainly upon bows
and arrows and the bolas, the latter con-
siSting of two or three stone balls on the
end of hide throngs On being thrown
the balls diverge in obedience to centifu-
gal force and fly round and round in the
air until the object is struck, when the
thongs wind themselves about it. These
savages can throw the bolas so dexterously
as to fasten ii man to his horse. The
OnaS. however often kill the guanaco by
surrounding a bunch and running them
down SO wonderfully feet of foot are they.
