CYCLONES IN FOUR STATES.
Big Storms Deal Death and Ruin in
Farming sections.


Cyclones in South Dakota, Iowa and
Nebraska Sunday caused serious loss Of
life and destroyed buildings by the score
Growing crops were ruined and fruit trees
stripped of their foliage. Wires are down
in the sections visited, so that it has been
impossible to obtain details of the damage
in outlying districts. Michigan was swept
by an unusually severe electric storm,
many houses being struck by lightning.
A violent rainstorm which broke over
Chicago at 1920 o'clock Sunday night
flooded the city and suburbs, causing
much damage to property.
A disastrous and fatal tornado passed
through the country in the vicinity of
Bijou Hills, twenty-five miles south of
Of seven persons and the serious injury Of
two others. The tornado formed on sec
ton in plain view of hundreds of persons,
and moved in a southerly course. The
storm destroyed church and a school
house, after which it reached the Peter
son place, where the execution done was
appalling. The dead and injured were
strewn all about the premises, all being
bruised and MANNED in shocking man
ner, while the buildings were smashed to
splinters. After doing it's worst the storm
passed into the range of hills skirting the
Missouri river, where it appears to have
been dissolved The path covered by the
storm was only about twenty rods wide
and about three miles in length. The
wind was accompanied by heavy fall of
rain and hail, the latter being as large as
goose eggs. Everything in the course Of
the storm was completely destroyed. A
l.. Il
Probably the most destructive tornado
that ever visited Nebraska passed through
the northern part of Hamilton County
Saturday night at o'clock, destroying
from $4,000 to 100000 worth of prop
erty, including fifteen dwellings, one
church, one school house, two iron bridges
across the Blue river, barns, corncribs,
outbuildings, orchards, groves, fences and
stock. In Cunning County a cloudburst in
the northeast part caused much destruc-
ton. The creek was filled bank high in
few minutes and the adjoining bottoms
flooded. Over 1000 tons Of hay is known
to be washed away and destroyed, and
miles Of fencing is ruined. Corn land is
badly washed.
A terrific hailstorm struck Hastings,
Neb., Sunday afternoon and continued for
Utilities, WHICH llIue several
persons were hurt, over 1900 panes Of
glass broken, fruit and grain destroyed
and chickens and birds killed and injured.
Terrific storms swept over Iowa Satur-
day and Sunday. AT Tama there was al
most cfoudburst and much damage done.
The Chicago and Northwestern Railroad
sustained much damage. A tornado struck
the farm house of a man named Mccoy,
half mile south of Keswick. The build
ing was demolished and FIVE persons We're
injured, Mrs. Mccoy fatally. Rain and
hail followed the Storm and much dam
age to the growing crops resulted. "A
storm passed through the country twenty
five miles northeast of Des MONIES Sun
day afternoon. Several houses and barns
are reported to have been blown down and
considerable damage done, but so far as
known no lives were lost in that locality.

CUBANS DIDN'T COME.

Only Seven Out of 4,317 on the Rolls
Prove Their Claims for Money.
Although the American officers in Ha-
yana waited from early morning until into
the evening Saturday to pay the SIS each
to Cuban soldiers, only seven of the 4,317
men reported by the Cuban officers as
composing the Fifth army corps proved
their claims and not one of these surren-
dered arms. All receiving the money were
camp followers, there being no fighters
among them. Several others who applied
could not show any connection with the
army and were turned away. The total
days work was therefore the distribution
of 1926, with not a gun corrallen. Gold
and silver to the amount of $4,000 was
ready and strong guard of soldiers had
been put about the paymaster's Office to
manage the expected crowd.

THE SPEAKERSHlP CONTEST.
Wisconsin Favors Henderson, While
Indiana May Prefer Hopkins.


Indiana May Prefer Hopkins.
1t is now generally accepted that the
next Speaker will be Western man, and
that the contest will be between Hender-
son and Hopkins. The Wisconsin con-
gressional delegation, at its meeting in
| Milwaukee Saturday afternoon, unani-
mously resolved to throw it's entire
strength to Congressman Henderson in
the contest. They got together, they said,
to indorse a Western man, and show that
Wisconsin was in the contest in dead earn
est. The Wisconsin delegation placed the
immediate advantage with Henderson,
but Wisconsin is only one of the middle
Western States to declare for the candi-
date of another State.
A Washington correspondent says that
the action Of the Wisconsin congressional
delegation has given a decided impetus to
the Henderson speakership boom in the
East. 1t shows that the men who have
been in control of the House organization
for the last four years are striving to re-
tain that control in the next House. Payne
of New York, Dalzell of Pennsylvania,
| Grosvenor of Ohio, Steele of Indiana,
Babcock of Wisconsin, Henderson of
Iowa, Towney of Minnesota, were among
organization, and with Reed out of Con-
gress they will endeavor to continue in
the leadership. They have found it quite
improbable that an Eastern man would be
elected, and they are turning to Col. Hen
derson.
An Indianapolis dispatch says the In
diana Republicans are very much in favor
of Hopkins, and the party managers are
said to favor him. The most potent cause
that is operating in Hopkins favor is the
belief that he would approve drastic leg
islation against trusts, and as this ques-
ton is to be prominent in the coming ma
tional campaign the Indiana Congressman
will be for him, as he is known to hold
Western sentiments regarding trusts and
the necessity for legislation against them.
The best-posted politicians say that the
nine members of Congress from Indiana
will vote for him.

DIE IN A WRECK.
Burlington Train of Seven Cars Is
Almost Demolished.

Burlington Train of Seven Cars Is
Almost Demolished.
Nine persons were killed in two railroad
wrecks in Iowa, the result of passenger
trains running into washouts, caused by
storms. Forty-six more were injured and
some of them will probably die. The first
disaster was near Waterloo on the B., @.
r. & n road, while the second was near
Oelwein. Near Denison, Texas, freight
train jumped the track and the engineer
was killed.
The wreck on the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids and Northern Railway was caus-
ed by the washing away of the foundation
beneath the track, the rain falling at the
time in torrents. There are indications
that the rain had been preceded by a
cloudburst, which had washed the earth
from the track for distance of half a
mile. Being warned by lurch Of the en-
CINE of the impending disaster, the engi-
neer and fireman jumped and escaped with
slight bruises. The engine pIowed it's way
into the earth, and lay in the ditch with
the cars Of the train piled upon it. The
mail car was partially telescoped by the
baggage car, which in turn penetrated the
smoker. The rear end Of the smoker rest
ed on the roof of the passenger coach fol-
lowing, while the day coach and the sleep
er had almost entirely telescoped each 9TH
er. The sleeper in the rea, escaped with
much less injury.
News of the disaster was brought to
Waterloo by two of the passengers who
had escaped serious injury. Relief trains
from there and from Cedar Rapids were
quickly on the ground, and the injured
passengers were soon extricated from the
wreck and tenderly cared for until they
were taken to the hospital at Cedar Rap
ids.
TWAS found that death had resulted in
short time in all but the case of David
l. Halo of Minneapolis, who lived until
some hours after the accident. Mr.. Halo
was on the way to Minneapolis to marry
Miss Laura Morgenstern of that city, a
niece of Admiral Schley. Many of the
injured are in serious condition, and
fears are entertained that the list of dead
will be added to.

NO PARDON FOR MRS. MAVERICK
British Government Says There I 9 No
New Evidence.


New Evidence.
Ambassador Choate informs the State
Department that the British Government
has declined to grant a pardon to Mrs.
Florence Maybrick, sentenced to prison
for life in July, 1889, for the murder of
her husband.
At the request of friends of Mrs. May
brick in this country Ambassador Choate
was instructed to request the British Gov
eminent to release Mrs. Maybrick. Mr..
Choate complied with his instructions sew
eral weeks ago, and the British foreign
Office at once agreed to have the matter
looked into again by the home office. The
home office has reviewed the case, and
Mr.. Choate has received through the for
eign office a courteous reply, stating that
the British Government regrets that moth,
ing has developed to cause change in its
attitude toward the prisoner, no new evil
dence tending to show her innocence of the
crime of which she was convicted having
been presented. The friends of Mrs.
MAVERICK in this country are still petition
ing the State Department in her behalf.

RULES FOR DREYFUS.
Civil Court of Cessation Reports in
Favor of Revision.

Favor OF REVISION.
A new trial for Dreyfus is assured and
the prisoner will be brought back from
Devils Island and his case passed upon by
a new court martial. This was determiD
ed upon Saturday, when Ballot de Beau
pre-, president of the civil section of the
court of cessation, reported to M. Ma
zeau, president of the court of cessation,
in favor of revision. The French Govern
ment therefore officially announces that
former Captain Dreyfus, now prisoner
on Devils Island, will be retired by a
court martial. The sittings will be held
in a garrison town distant from Paris.
While it is not believed that any serious
outbreak viii follow the announcement OF
the court in favor of Dreyfus, the Gov
eminent is prepared to take prompt action
in case of serious disturbances. It is
known that several demonstrations have
been organized. Orders have been issued
to the military police to hold themselves in
readiness and any attempt at rioting will
be suppressed in vigorous fashion.

Clarence Lewis, of this Place
Looses n Leg.
Yesterday afternoon, at Armitage
tank, near Athens, Ohio, Clarence
Lewis met with very serious &C.
cident. He was brakeman on the
K. ~ M. local freight, and in at
tempting to get on the train as it
commenced to move, his hand
hold slipped and he fell under a
car, the wheels passing over his left
leg, crushing it SO badly that it had
to be amputated, at the place of
the accident, just below the knee,
before he could be sent home. He
arrived here yesterday evening on
the K. & M. passenger train, where
he was met by his friends and car
ried on cot to DR.. Mossman's
office, where he received the atten-
ton his condition required.
Mr.. Lewis was a member of Co.
B, of the I'd w. Va. Regiment, and
having been formerly an employee
of the K. & M. Railway, the COM
pany gave him his place back on
his discharge from the army, and
this was his first or second trip out
in the discharge of his duties.

A Sure Sign.

When you see superintendent
demonstrations of family affection
in public it is a pretty sure sign
it is an effort to mako up for dis
cord at home. When everything
goes along in peace and harmony
or ordinarily so, in the sacred pre-
cincts of home, there is no reason
to advertise domestic felicity and
family affection abroad. A proper
conception of the eternal fitness of
things leads revolt against n pnr-
ado of such sacred matters before
tho public gaze.

In the death of William M. Saun-

at 4 O'Clock this morning; the COM
munity loses one of its most honor
able and highly respected citizens;
one who has been identified in a
business and social way with the
people in this portion of the state
for over eighteen years.
He was an honorable, upright

as, who will deeply feel his loss.
Deceased has been q sufferer
from consumption for a number of
years, and for the past three months
has scarcely been able to be out of
his bed. He made a number of
trips to Colorado and other places
for the benefit of his health, but
was never able to obtain moro than
a temporary relief.
He was n member and deacon
of the First Presbyterian church,
with which denomination he had
been associated since childhood.
He was also member of the
knights Templar, and the funeral
services will likely be conducted
under their auspices. The funeral
arrangements, however, have not
as yet been completed, and the fam
lily is not able to say just when the
funeral will take place.
Besides his wife and daughter
living here, deceased has a brother
in Ohio and sister III Virginia.
William M. Saunders was born
in West Virginia in 1850, whore lie
lived until grown. He was married
on April 10th, 1881, in Middleport,
Ohio, to Miss frankie Ritchie
Two children blessed the union,
one of whom, boy, is dead; the
other a daughter.
In 1883 he came to Sherman and
was connected with the firm of
Eubank Il Company. He lived in
Sherman about two years when he
moved to this city and engaged in
business with the Hanna, Platter &
NAPLES Grocery Co., as travelling
salesman. Two years later he
moved to Ell Paso for the benefit of
his health and engaged in the shoe
business. He was much benefited
by the change and few years later
he returned to Denison and opened
grocery business under the firm
name of Saunders & Cook. Later
he engaged with Hubbard Bros. as
travelling salesman, but of late his
health has been 80 poor that he was
not able to attend to any kind of
business, being confined most of the
time.-Denison, (Tex,) Daily Her
aid, April 18th.
