Kruger Took the First Trick =
Iain's Positivs Attitude

NEW YORK, May pa cable 10
the Sun from London says: President
l>rueger's seizure of farcical plotters
in Johannesburg is an important step
in the rapidly approaching crisis,
though in themselves the arrests are
any time this year. 1t is estimated
tnat every sixth man in johannesburg,
otherwise Judasburg, is a paid spy,
and five in every six barmaids are also
spies. The latter know from saloon
loafing ringleaders every detail of the
enlistment and plans TO seize the fort
and wire over the border for British
troops. This was all communicated TO
Pretoria, and President Kruger
Swooped down at the next opportunity
to discredit the new reform movement,
for the British Cabinet was to be
specially convened this week to con-
slider what action the Government
would take on the petition which 81
900 Britishers in the Transvaal sent to
the Queen.
1t is an absolute fact that all big
men in London were taken by surprise
by the news of the arrests. Cecil
y
was a fake, but later, when confirma
ton came, he was very angry, and
cursed the driveling fools who had
played Krueger's game. DR.. Jameson,
who, on his way to Cape Town, re-
ceived a cable message at Madeira, re-
piled that he would go on in case he
was wanted. Doubtless he will arrive
expecting to find civil war, but instead
Will md Kruger and Sir Alfred Mil
ner comforting at Bloemfontein.
His enemies agree that Kruger has
scored once more, but Chamberlain is
not displeaSed, for it is known that he
wishes to entirely disassociate the
Government from Cecil Rhodes meth
DDS. His instructions to Sir Alfred
Miner at present are to StudiouSly
moderate the ultimatum to Kruger so
that if it is rejected the entire coun-
try will back up Chamberlain in TAX
ing the aggressive though he earnest
ly hopes that this will not become
necessary, for it would mean a race
war among the whites, with the ulti-
mate necessity for a permanent Eng
liSh garrison. 1t is considered prac-
tically certain that Germany AMI
France would not interfere in behalf
of the Transvaal.
What it is feared Will DraciDit9te
the struggle is the report from Pre-
toria that President Kruger has de-
cided to suppress the South African
League as a reasonable organization.
Chamberlain has always encouraged
this league as a constitutional method
of expressing British sentiments. both
in Cape Colony and in the Transvaal.
Commoner George Wyndham and 9th
er minor members of the Government
belong to English branches Of the
league The British Parliament stands
adjourned for nearly fortnight, and
much may happen in thai time.

Wait for Her

Once l was a young man, now l am
old and I've never seen a girl unfaithful
to her mother that ever came to be
worth a one ey ed button to her husband.
1t is the law OF God. 1t isn't exactly in
the Bible, but it is written large and
awful in the miserable life of many a
mystic home. I'm speaking for the boys
this time. If one of you chaps ever come
across a girl that, with a face full of
roses, says as you come to the door. Il
cannot go for thirty minutes, for the
dishes are 0 washed" you wait for
that girl. You sit right down on the
door step and wait for her. Cause
some other fellow may come along and
carry her off and right there you have
lost an angel. Wait for that girl, and
stick to her like a burr to a mules tail.

Money Order Forms Changed

The Postofice Department has made a
change in the form OF the money order
accounts rendered by postmasters at
money offices. Heretofore, when the
postmaster entered the description of
the money order issued by him he gave
the name of the remitter and payee. In
the new form this is dispensed with,
and only the number Of the order, the
office drawn on and the amounts, in
oluding fees, are entered. This will re-
suit in o considerable saving of labor to
the postmasters, and in the aggregate it
is said, will save writing 135 ,000, 900
words a year.

400 BUILDINGS DESTROYED
And 80 to 60 People Killed
By Cyclone which swept Through
Kirksville, Mo-, Last Night---l5 Peo-
pie Neporled MIIIeh ut NeMton. No.


A cyclone cut clean swath one. quarter
mile wide through the eastern part of
Kirksville, Mo-, at 6;20 last night. -Four
hundred buildings were destroyed. In
the heavy rain that followed the people
who had escaped turned out to rescue the
injured. For two hours not much was ac-
complished, as all was confusion, but by s
O'Clock % dead had been taken from the
ruins. 1t is expected that the list of dead
will reach between 80 and 60 Almost a
thousand people were more or less injured.
Intense darkness prevailed after the
cyclone, and the resCuers were al a disad-
vantage for a short time, until fire broke
out in dozen places in the ruins, and
shed light over the scene No attempts
were made to eXtinguish the fires, partly
because the rescuers had no time and
partly because of the need OF light. On
both sides of the storms path the debris
was piled high and burned fiercely In all
probability number of bodies have been
burned. The storm first struck the east
ern portion of the city, near that part oc-
cupied by the boarding house of the
students of the American School of Oste-
opathy, the state normal school and Nc
Wards seminary. 1t was just supper
time for the students and it is thought
very probable the list of dead will contain
many students, as a large number of these
boarding houses were demolished AS far
as is known the three institutions escaped
the storm. The storm then went north
west and wiped out the Patterson nursery,
pulling the trees out of the ground and
hurling them through the air. The second
cyclone followed the first, 20 minutes
later. 1t came as an inky black cloud
widely distributed and covered the whole
town, but passed above the houses, doing
no material damage.
A tornado supposed to be the same one
that swept over Kirksville, struck Newton,
Mo-. last night, causing terrible destruc-
tion. 1t is reported that II people were
killed in the town and many others killed
in the country near there. A number of
buildings were destroyed. The storm also
did great damage at St. Edwards, Neb., g,
where houses were wrecked and several
people injured.

at a meeting of the manufacturers early

league soon to be formed The one or two
games played last year were mighty expen-

for other victims of the Have-a-cigar- on

the cloud was that Billie Ryan by wiring
