TERRIFIC WIND IN KANSAS.
Things Generally Upset and Some
Damage Done in Various Sec
tiOna of the Stnte.

TOPEKA, April 3O-(special) The wind
has been cutting up all kinds of pranks in
Kansas to-day, although no damage of
consequence has been reported to the
headquarters of the various railroads here.
1t has been a continual blow from the
south all day at a rate of from fifteen to
fifty miles an hour. The air was filled with
dust, and the yellowish color of the sky
frightened many into the belief that a
tornado was coming. In Central and West
ern Kansas the railroads report that there
was so much sand in the atmosphere that
person could not see more than 200 yards.
Some damage has no doubt been done that
part of the growing wheat crop which had
not become thoroughly rooted.
ABILENE, KAS., April 30.-(Special.) A
terrific wind and sand storm blew here all
day, injuring newly planted fields. Re-
ports from Western Kansas say 1t was one
of the worst winds in years.
CHAPMAN, Kas., April S0.-(Special) A
heavy wind storm has prevailed through
out this vicinity during the past ten hours.
6ewg dust The in haavy 9ua
were blown over and chimneys were blown
from houses. A large plate glass window
was broken in Judge Frost's office during
the heaviest part Of the storm, which still
continues.
NEWTON, KAS.. April 3O.-(Special9
The wind here has been blowing gale all
day, reaching a velocity of sixty miles an
hour this afternoon. The sun has been
obscured by the vast clouds of dust. Trees
are broken and small buildings overturned.
A pile of ties in the Santa F'e yards took
fire while the wind was strongest and
only the timely work of the railroad fire
department averted serious conflagra-
tion.
ELLINWOOD. KAS.. April 30.-(Special)
terrible wind and sand storm from the
west has been raging here all day. Con-
siderable property has been damaged.
Many windows have been broken and Chin
neys overturned. The skylights in Hotel

thing loose was carried away by the wind.
This is the worst wind storm this county
has experienced for three years.

TRAFFIC IN POISON.
Government Inspection Needed to Con-
denim Whiskey That Is BAD as Well
rs to Approve That Which Is Good.

1t has often been observed by those who
come from the mother country that it is
great pity that no governmental super
vision is exercised over the keepers of
saloons. so that they should be compelled
to sell genuine and pure spirits
We say, then let the government appoint
inspectors. whose duty it shall be to go
into every saloon and test by scientific
methods the liquors that are sold there.
1t is true that the government has set
its seal of approval on good whiskey, in
recognizing and taxing Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey as Medicine, but let it also seek
out and punish those who sell poison under
the name of whiskey.
Keep Duffys Pure Malt whiskey IN the
house and then you are sure of having that
which the government says is all right

Mining District Last
Week.

JOPLIN, MO-, April 30.-(Special) Each
succeeding week manages to break some
kind of record in this mining district and
the week closed last night is no exception
to the rule. The sales of ore We're larger
than ever before, the total value going
over $1,000 above the previous top notch
The excess is not great. but is important
in showing the steady advance of both pro-
duction and value when weather conditions
are favorable. The production was i'm
mense as the weather was good all week
and prices better than the previous week,
all things considered. True, the top price
for zinc ore was $3.50, as against s55 for
the previous week, but the general aver
age was higher.
Lead ore was higher and in demand.
Sales of mining properties aggregated
$780, 900 and other heavy transfers are pend
ing.
The total sales for the week were II oO3 80
pounds of zinc ore, 1,003490 pounds of lead
ore; value, s2S5,314.
For seventeen weeks the totals are H.
962 220 pounds of zinc ore; 15,446 $50 pounds

ON HIS LAST SWITCH.
Body of an Unknown Railroader
Found in Turkey Creek-In-
uueNt TO.daY.

quest To-day.
The body of a man about 35 years old,
weighing $50 pounds, and dressed like a
railroader, was found yesterday evening
about o'clock in Turkey creek, near the
crossing of the Belt line and Southwest
boulevard. The appearance of the body
when discovered by Charles Mcclure, boy
living at 2O26 Dripps street. indicated that it
had been in the water less than twenty
four hours. Young Mcclure notified the
officers at No 8 police station and two
patrolmen were sent to bring in the grue-
some find.
In the pockets of the dead man were
found switch keys of the Lehgh Valley
and the New York Central & Hudson River
railroads, And rule and signal books of the
same, indicating what had been his pro-
fession.
A letter, also found in his pockets, was
addressed to Ed Costello, Audubon, N Y.
but had been returned to the writer, Con-
Mahoney, in Kansas City. Nothing else
was found on the body to confirm the be-
lief that Con Mahoney had been the
mans name. The letter contained a re-
quest for loan of s25 and said that the
writer was sick and out of work
Whether his death was due to a volun-
tary action on his part or from accidental
drowning has not been determined. Cor
oner Langsdale viewed the body hastily
where it was found and will hold an in
quest to-day at Wagner's morgue, where
the body was taken from the police sta
ton.

Secretary Alger's letter to Governor Stan
ley saying that it would be impossible to
let the Twentieth Kansas regiment come
home by way of the Suez canal, an effort
will still be made to have the Kansas boys
brought home that way. The secretary

of the transports are needed in the Pacific,
and that it would take too long to get the
boats around the Horn If the Kansas SOL
diers come home by way of Suez Con-
gressman Curtis, while in the East, will
verse his ruling in the matter. All of the
