House Destroyed.
CWest Side Journal)
On Tuesday evening about 8 O'Clock
another terrible wind storm came ac-
companied by heavy flashes of light
ming, with rain and hail which lasted
about,one half hour. 1t then became
very sultry and terrible rumbling
noise could be heard in the south
which sounded very much like the noise
of heavy train. While many of our
citizens suspected something wrong
yet no one knew. The next morning
however all this was accounted for.
Mr.. Henry Schoenjahn came into town
to get, and did get a large force of men
to fix up the cattle sheds and fences on
his farm two miles south of town. He
reported the school house on his land as
completely destroyed, several large
trees broken and pulled out by the
roots, his cattle sheds torn into shreds,
over a mile of fence gone, two large
steers and three hogs killed, his wind
mill gone and nothing left to show that
there ever was mill there. A Journal
reporter went out Immediately to in
spect the damage and found it as above
stated, also that pieces of the school
house we're found a mile and quarter
east of where it stood, in fact the land
at that distance was scattered with
boards and scraps of the building, like
corn stalks.
LATER-Just as we go to press we
learn that Ed Rehder's farm house a
mile southeast of Arcadia was COM
pletely destroyed the,same evening and
the occupants were in the cellar but
were unframed, also all the farm ma
chinery of John Mooney. 1t was sure
ly night long to be remembered by
those living in its path.

pect that the child was Marion Clark.
AS soon as Deputy Sheriff William 81.

Youmans and found Mrs. Wilson, from
whom he demanded the child.
Mrs. Wilson was indignant and
claimed she knew nothing whatever Of
the child. The deputy sheriff produced
q warrant, arrested the woman and de-
manded information as to the where
abouts Of the child. At this Mrs. Viii
son weakened and made confession.
The baby was then produced. but the

RUDYARD KIPLING.
The Author Continues to Steadily
Improve.

NEW YORK, March 16. Rudyard
Kipling is steadily improving. He
was moved to-day from his rooms on
the second floor to a suite on the floor
above, which has been in readiness for
him for several days. He will have
more sunshine there, and the apart
ments are brighter than those he has
been in
The great author was bundled up in

draught, and he was carried up by
strong, gentle hands, white mans

Mr.. Kipling is already at work again.
His tremendous energy has already as
serted itself, and he has tackled yachts.
A message was sent to a well known
publishing house to-day for some books
on yachts, yacht building and points
about the building and sailing of this
class of craft
The following statement was issued
tonight: THE doctors say that Mr..
Kipling has stood the removal to a
brighter apartment without producing
any disturbance, and that with the ex-
ception of a small area of pleural exu-
date at the lower portion of the right
lung, all signs of the late disease have
disappeared
Mr. Kipling ate a hearty supper to-
night, and was permitted to read some
proofs of a forthcoming book which he

BENJAMIN F. HUTCHINSON.
The Once Noted Grain SpecuIato1
Dies at Lake Geneva, Wis.

CHICAGO, March 16-Benjamin f.
Hutchinson, the former Board OF Trace
operator and packer, died of heart fali-
ure at $50 O'Clock this evening at the
Lakeside Sanitarium Lake Geneva,
Wis. He was 70 years old. The re-
mains will be brought to Chicago Tor
interment.
Mr. Hutchinsons health began to fail
rapidly three years ago, and during the
last two years he has been at the sani-
tarium where he died.
Mr. Hutchinson was at the hight OF
his fame in 1888, when he ran his cor
ner in September wheat. After that
began his decline, and the financial end
came in 1891. His last deal was big
one, he being on the wrong side of the
market for $2,O00.O00. Financially
crushed, he left town and went to New
York City, where he opened a second
hand store He gave up that and re-
turned to Chicago, where he traded in a
small way when he could get people
interested in his schemes, but his ca
reer may be said to have closed with
the big deal of 81.
No one knew how much he was
worth He would never talk about pri-
yate affairs. The estimates of his
wealth when at his hight placed the
amount anywhere from S2,0OO,00O 10
SIG. 100000 A conservative estimate
places his richest day at from 4,0O0,-
900 to S5,O00,O0O.

FOR APPREHENsION OF
MEMBERS OF THE MOB.
How Bill Escaped.

AS the result of a little misunder-
standing over the ownership of a sheep
our friend William Skies of Newberg,
was made the defendant in a trial for
stealing, being honorably acquitted;
and he thus relates his experience to
Draby.
'Draby. if yer ever get into trouble
don't hire a lawyer that knows you.
like I did, for the chances are he'll make
ye wish it was legal to commit murder
before you get done. Yer Amer, he
sez, I've known Bill Skies forty year.
he sez, an I never knew any good of
him. I've known him to steal chick
ens,' he sez, but he's too lazy to steal
sheep he sez. Yer Amer, he sez, I IN
sorry to say that Bill is, innocent of this
charge he sez, because he ought to
be in JAIL he sez, but the proof goes
to show he sez, that he was too drunk
to steal sheep that night he sez. y er
Amer he sez, my client is a Wl1e
beater,' he sez, but, unfortunately, he
didn't steal that sheep, he sez. Yer
Amer he sez, there amt decent rail
fence from Bald Hill to Marcellus, he
sez, because Bill's stole the rails for
firewood,' he sez. An the jury brought
in a verdict of guilty, but not proven.
an the Judge roasted me brown. Bul
when I went to settle with Bleedem,
that's my lawyer, learned new trick
about robbing the people. He sez: I've
always known We, Bill, an l knew yer
father; an I won't charge but 500
And Draby, who had been sympa-
