Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 26.-At Eli Reno,
o. T., the wind was strong enough to
shake houses, topple over chimneys
and break many panes of glass. The
residence of William Phelps, a farmer
two miles east of Ell Reno, was de-
molished. The family escaped with
slight injuries. A few miles distant
another house was blown down and the
debris caught fire and was consumed.
No one was injured.
AT Guthrie. o. T., heavy storm pre-.
vailed and hundreds of panes of glass
were broken. Many people believed a
tornado was upon them and ran to
their storm cellars. Up to seven o'clock
Tuesday morning communication with
the whole country was good. Then the
wires, burdened with several times
their weight by ice and snow, tautened
by the cold and dashed by the wind,
began to snap under the unusual ten
sion. BY nine o'clock nearly every cir
cult line along the Santa Fe and Union
Pacific railroads for miles out was
broken. Two hours later communion
ton with almost the entire west was
cut off. Out of nearly dozen wires
to St. Louis and the same number to
Chicago only one was working between
each of these cities. 1t is impossible,
however, to obtain any news from the
central west, the southwest or the
northwest.
In Kansas City the damage was con-
fined to broken telephone poles,
snapped telephone wires and more or
less damage to street railway traffic.

Interesting Debates Occur in senate
and House.

interesting DEBATES occur IN senate
and House.
Washington, Jan. 26.-Tuesday's ses-
sion of the senate was characterized by
a heated, almost acrimonious, discus
sion of the financial question. For near
ly four hours the Teller resolution was
under consideration, the principal
speeches being made by Senators Alli-
son (rep., Ia.), Berry (dem., Ark and
Hoar (rep., Mass.). The sharpest col
loquy was at times INDUCED in between
the advocates and the opponents of the
resolution, the debate often approach
ing bitterness. The feature of the dis
cussion was speech delivered by Sena-
tor Teller, the author of the resolution.
Senator Teller's remarks called out
a suggestion from Senator Hoar that
he (Senator Teller) ought to have them
stricken from the record. In response
to an inquiry by Senator Spooner, Sena-
tor Vest admitted that he thought the
system of coinage referred to in the
resolution meant the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, that admission ap-
parently giving satisfaction to the OPP
ponents Of the measure. The bill ap-
propriating s141 100000 for the pay.
ment OF pensions was passed.
Washington, Jan. 2s.-Under the par
limentary fiction of discussing the In
dian appropriation bill, the house de-
voted almost the entire day to political
debate in which the main question was,
whether prosperity had come to the
the country as a result Of the advent of
the present administration. AS the
speeches were limited to Ave minutes
each many members participated and
partisan spirit kept the interest keyed
up to high pitch. The acrimony which
usually characterizes such debates was
almost entirely absent, but although
good natured, some hard knocks were
given and received. Mr.. Smith, the
delegate from Arizona, made an attack
on the system of educating the Indians
and Mr.. Walker moved to strike out the
appropriation for the Carlisle school.
No vote was taken on the motion.

Best of Satisfaction.

After considerable urging, MIR. Long
was prevailed upon to give us the
present engagement, and the large
house nearly filled to Overlooking
which greeted him Monday night must
have convinced him that he made no
mistake in doing SO.
Monday night WIS presented "Way
Dawn in Dixie" drama of the south.
which was presented here during a
former engagement, but with new
cast of very capable people the play
took on new life and interest, especial
ly pleasing was the portrayal of the
characters assumed by Mr. Long and
Annie Thomas, while Miss Margie Dow
was the recipient of much favorable
comment.
On Tuesday night was presented
"Heart OF Nature" four act drama
OF farm life containing many comedy
characters which caused smiles and
laughter throughout the evening. AS
is usual with all of Mr.. Longs pro-
auctions, everything in the way of
stage setting is produced with faithful
exactness, and the second act of this
play was staged SO real that you might
without much effort imagine yourself
in some farmers door yard.
"a Gay Bowery Girl" on Wednes-
day night. was for laughing purposes
only, and it served its purpose we'll.
Mr.. Long, as Arthur Brown, proved
himself very entertaining and capa-
BILE liar, and Annie Thomas and
Margie Dow as the Bowery Girl and
Browns niece respectively added to
Browns trouble and his mother-in-
laws worry caused by her general
supervision. But all ends we'll for
Brown but hardly so we'll for his
mother-in-law.
This Thursday evening "Alaba-
ma" city success, will be presented
and some very realistic scenes are
promised and will no doubt be fulfilled.
This company has the sole right for
the western production of this play.
A matinee will be given Saturday
afternoon and new plays will be put
on the evenings of the balance of this
week. Turn out and fill the house
every performance and show your
appreciation of first class company
and new, bright plays of merit.
