souri, river in Northeastern Nebras-
ka No lives are reported lost.
A cyclone formed about three
miles southwest of Kingsley, 10,
and moved north about one mile
In South Dakota the damage was
all confined to farms No loss of
life is being reported Fortunately
the cyclone, wAich swept through a
thickly settled country, did not hit
many farm houses. although il pass
ed very close to two score of them,
their escape from destruction seem
ing almost miraculous.
Passing to the north of town, the
cloud struck the fine farm house Of
Joseph Yertes and scattered his fur
niture in every direction. The resi-
dence of E. Berchard was blown
into Thousands of pieces, and little
remains but the foundation. Berch
ard saw the STERN coming aud went
into the cellar with his wife and
child. All escaped injury except
Mr. Berchard, who was bruised
about the head.
There were three twisters in
northeastern Nebraska last night.
The storm that passed between
Ponca and Newcastle followed
along the ground for several miles
bsfore it breke up. John Wilbur
lost everything but his house. Chas.
Murfn's house and barn were
wrecked. Samuel Green's barn was
destroyed, and Jake Dennis lost

time her story 1t was revolving to
hear of the cruel treatment of their
father. as told by the girl. a man,
woman and eight children living in
a home like pig pen, no furniture
and no food. They scarcely knew
what clothing was; gunnysacks and
old rags answered for their shoes
and undergsrmsnts. When the
sheriff went to the hat to get the
children he found the girl dressed
in clothes made from an old bed
comforter. Lena told the CORE
spondent that she does not regret
the deed Size and her brother had
planned the killing of her father for
two wesks. The boy showed his
sister how to load the rifle and had
her do the shooting. She took a
steady aim aud fred the bullet

A Church Against the Trusts

The General Synod of the Re
formed Church closed it's session at
Tiffin, o, by adopting a report on
''the danger to be apprehended from
certain agencies are slowly but surely
revolutionizing the entire social fab
rio, the absorption of the wealth of
the country in the hands of the few;
the steady enlargement Of the poorer
classes Of people and the gradual
diminution of prosperous and hap
Ply middle class, the hope of every
thriving State" The report further
affirmed that the tendency was to
make life "a burden of despair 10
the many and material paradise to
the few"
This is clear language. 1t indi-
Gates not only good understanding
of the subject, but determination
to fight the forces of evil which are
hindrance to progress OF the
kingdom of Christ upon earth
The trust question ought not to
be hard to settle The sentiment OF
all thinking men except those who
are interested in monopoly is against
the wicked development. Clergyman,
college professors and other men OF
light and leading are emphatic in
their expression; and now the Re
formed Church sets the example for
other churches to take stand, off
cially, on what is the greatest moral
question of the age.
With all the decent, respectable
and religious sentiment in the coun'
try against them, the trusts car
never prevail,-Post Dispatch.

william Curtis' Washington Letter.
The most expensive hat on record
cost 81 500 in gold. and was present.
ed TO General Grant, in 1882.
1t is now on exhibition in the Ma
tional museum at Warrington
perhaps the fnest Mexican sombrsro
that was ever made. While William
Fl. Seward was Secretary OF State
in Lincoln's cabinet some OF his ad.
mirers in South America sent him
Panama hat which cost $1,000. IL
was on exhibition in q show window
in New York for year or more.
Panama hats used to be frequently
sold as high as $500 each. A New
York halter says that In 1867 he
sold three hats at that price in a
single day, but they are ne longer in
the market. The met expensive hat
he kas sold for several years was
bought by New York banker last
summer for $40 1t was the last
fine Panama hat in stock. Such hats
are still worn by the hidalgos in
South AmsricS, They are not made
in Panama, but they got the name
because that city was formerly the
greatest market for then. The 6n.
ert hats CONS from Gavsquil and
Payts, Peru. They are made Of the
fiber of the pits or pineapple plant,
which is as soft and plIable as silk.
and some OF them are 90 fine that
they can be folded up and carried in
the vest pocket.

OTIS THINKS 10000 ENOUGH.
About 5000 More Needed-A Possible
Call for 5000 Volunteers,


Washington, June 1.-Replying
to the inquiries of the secretary of
var, General Otis telegraphs that
he is still of the opinion that 10000
troops will be necessary for the eff.
fective control Of the Philippines.
Secretary Alger said: The cable
gram rsaffirms General Otiss esti.
mate made sometime ago that 80.
600 men would be sufficient to cope
with the situation. As l stated yes
terday the regulars now upon
the way or under orders to go
to the Philippines will give General
Otis about $4,000 or $4,000 men
after the withdrawal of the volun-
teers.
where will the additional 5000
or 5000 men for whom General
Otis asks, come from" the secretary
was asked.
That has not been definitely de.
termined as vet, be replied. I'VE
may be able to take the additional
troops asked for frem the regulars
now located Ia this country, Cubs
and Porto Rico, or it may be found
advisable to muster in volunteers.
''In case it is decided to call for
volunteers will the call be for only
the 5000 or G,OeO men necessary tc
bring General Otis's total up to
30,OO0?"
eff volunteers are called for" re-
piled the secretary, "the call will
probably be for 10000 men."

Rennes is filled with soldiers.
Ten thousand troops are at this

Dreyfus had left the court room
some time before the verdict was
rendered.
His last words before leaving the
room were Il AFFIRM AN INNo-
CENT"
The speech of Demange on be-
half of Dreyfus was a splendid
piece of oratory.
M. Labor denied himself the
right to speak for the defense. lest,
by doing SO he would irritate the
judges and destroy the good effect
of his associate NJ. Dcmange.
Labori said although condemn
ed, we do not intend to give up
the fight. We will continue to
fight for Dreyfus.
The court of revision will in all
probability review the case, and if
it is affirmed the court of cessation
may hear it.
From this arena of conflict, am
bition and passion one turns with
a saddened heart to the real trag-
-edy of the case, the tragedy of the
Dreyfus family.
Nine. Dreyfus this afternoon ON
her return from the prison was
completely prostrated, and had to
be helped from the closed carriage
by her father, NJ. Hadamard. who
had gone to bring her home. She

she has been ever since her hus-

Her position has been that Of q
