Coghlan Is Formally Reprimanded
by the Navy Department..
The case of Capt. Coghlan may be con-
sidered as finally closed. The German
ambassador, DIR. Won Holleben, called at
the White House April 90 and had a con-
ference on the subject with the President
of such u satisfactory nature that the mat
ter was regarded as settled. The President
explained the course the Navy Department
had taken in administering a reprimand to
Capt. Coghlan. 1t was also pointed out
that the officers explanation of the Incl
dent stated that his utterances had been
much exaggerated. During the day the
Navy Department administered to Capt.
Coghlan a rcprimand in the form of a letter
from Secretary Long to the officer. 1t is
stated atthe Department that the letter will
not be made public before the officer has
received it and probably not then.

Bonds Declared Illegal.

The city authorities of Lead are greatly
disappointed over the result of the in
vestigation by some of the best lawyers in
regard to the legality of the bonds that
were intended for the putting in of a
sewer system this summer. 1t is found
that the bonds will be illegal, owing to a
recent act of the Legislature. The business
neil of the city have proposed t. advance
the necessary money required to put in the
system and take their chances in having
the Legislature make a special act to make
Lead bonds legal. The city is determined
to have a sewer system this season.

cxcLoNE IN MISSOURI.
Thirty-seven People Killed and
Many Seriously Injured.

Many Seriously Injured.
A gathering storm that had been threat
ening all afternoon broke upon Kirksville.
Mo-, at 6:2O O'Clock Thursday night in all
the fury of a cyclone. A path a quarter of
a mile wide and 400 buildings, homes and
mercantile houses, were leveled to the
grownd in scattered ruins. In the
heavy rain that followed the people
who had escaped turned out to rescue
the injured. For two hours not much was
accomplished as all was confusion, but by
8 O'Clock thirty-seven dead bodies had been
taken from the ruins. 1t is confidently eX-
pected that the list of dead will reach be-
tween fifty and sixty if not exceeding that.
Almost a thousand people were more or
less injured. Intense darkness prevailed
after the cyclone, and the rescuers were at
a disadvantage for a short time, until fire
broke out in a dozen places in the ruins and
shed light over the scene. No efforts were
made to eXtinguish the fires, partly be-
cause the rescuers had no time, and partly
because of the need of the light. A seq
ond edition of the cyclone followed the
first twenty minutes later. 1t came as an
jnky black cloud widely distributed and
covered the whole town, but passed above
the houses, doing no material damage and
gathering fury as it went. 1t undoubtedly
struck the ground a few miles out of Kirks-
vile.
A tornado probably the same one that
swept over Kirksville, struck Newtown, a
small town in Sullivan County, and caused
terrible destruction. 1t is reported that
fifteen people were killed in the country
near there.

Excttement at Kimball,

On Wednesday, April 26, a prairie fire
was seen rolling up toward Kimball from
the west, and il became apparent that the
town was in danger. Tho fire bell was
rung and the engine pulled out, but before
anything could be done the fire had passed
through the cemetery and vas rushing on
through the acre lots and nearing the res
idence portion. A gallant stand was made
at West Street and the fires speed was
checked. One house and barn had been
consumed, the cemetery burned over, the
fence practically destroyed and the shrub
berry ScOrched.

For two miles the advance was without
incident. Then the enemy's trenches, rum
ming across the Americans front, were en-
countered, and the train was moved for
ward and shelled the insurgent position.
The Filipinos responded in lively fashion.
Gen. Hale's brigade made n brilliant adj
vance over open ground to the Chico river.
They were exposed to a CALLING fire from
the enemy's trenches at the junction of
the Bagbag and Chico rivers.
The Iowa regiment made a detour to the
right to flank the trenches, and when this
movement was executed the Nebraskans
and South Dakotans swan the river,
drove the enemy from their positions, and
pursued them for half a mile before they
were recalled. Before this was accom-
plished, however, Maj. Young, with the
guns of the Utah artillery. dashed through
a village that had been burned and pro-
tected the Nebraskans and. South Dako-
tans rs they made their way across the
river. The artillery lost one killed and
three wounded in making their dash.
The Filipinos had the advantage of the
fighting by the Chico, as they had cleared
the country of everything that would ap-
pear a protection to the Americans. The
attempt to wreck the armored train of the
Americans by weakening the bridge over
the Bagbag w0s a failure. Part of the
bridge fell in with its own weight before
the train reached it.
The American loss in the two days. on.
erations was twelve killed and thirty-nine
wounded. The known rebel loss is seven.
ty-five killed in front Of Wheaton's brig
ade Tuesday and about 200 killed and
wounded in front Of Hale's Monday.

Will ASK M'kINLEY TO COME

ident to Visit that City.


A number Of Aberdeen's prominent citi-

some plan by which President Mckinley
and party can be induced to visit Aberdeen
while on their western trip. It has been
suggested that the party could leave Min
neapolis late in the evening, reach Aber-
deem in time the next morning to pay the
city a visit Of a few hours, then proceed to
Fargo via Cakes. This would enable the
people of South Dakota to pay their re-
spects to the President and seems to be the
only feasible plan by which the object can
be accomplished. Special trains could be
run ON the various lines and thousands
would flock there from all over the State to
see the nations chief executive. Senator
Kyle is deeply interested in the matter and
will take active measures to secure the
visit of the President if it can be ac-
cOmplislled.
