SKATING SHOES.
They Are High, But Not as High as
Bicycle Boots.

A word about skating Shoes They
are usually made to order of black or
brown, heavy, broad shoe of the bull
dos type, coming quite high, though not
quite so high as the bicycle boots.
Tights are often used instead of petit
coats, or silk or light wooden boomers are
liked. All CT the fashionable set are
great skaters, and the ice Kinks, where
lessons are given, have boasted the
smartest debutantes and matrons among
the pupils.
The doctors recommend the exercise
and the DelsarteanS approve of the grace
II bestows, so what more could be de-
sired when one has a bewitching cos
turle and all the accessories for skating.
But in making skating suit re-
member that warmth must never be sac
rifced. for, unless skating costume has
the delicious "all-wool" look of q cold
day gown. it will never be a success

When the body arrived at the station dis pute arose between the family of the dead statesman and the government representa- tives, the family protesting against the wording of the decree for the obsequies, as the preamble seemed to indicate that the only virtue of the deceased was that he died poor.
 They declared they would not accept the offer of the government to defray the fun eral expenses Senor Silvela replied that the council of state would consider the mat ter but could not alter the wording of the decree Tn body was taken to the chamber of deputies, followed by Premier Silvela and many generals, Including General Weyler, all in plain clothes. Enormous crowds followed the remains from the sta tion to the chamber. General Weyler planes the government for not paying military honors to the dead statesman, say ing that none had done more for the army than Senor Castelar,.
 General Poliveja, minister of war, has sent an invitation to the generals to at tend the obsequies, attired in plain clothes. To General Campos he replied that he would go in uniform declaring that as Spaniard and a general he regarded Cas- telar as one of the friends of Spain and the universe. Others will follow the exam pie of Campos. The coffin was closed, but the public was permitted to view the re- mains.

GENERAL IN THE NORTHWEST

Omaha. May 27-The most disastrous cy- clone that has visited Nebraska since the Bradshaw storm occurred between Minden and Kenesaw shortly after s o'clock last night leaving destruction in its path
 Had 1t struck few minutes later ten or fifteen lives would have been lost but as 1t was the people saw 1t in time and crawl ing into cyclone cellars or by hugging the furrows in the ploughed ground saved their lives. It struck the farm of tenant one mile north of Minden. The tenant his wife and son, saw it coming and ran 10 the ploughed field where they buried then.- selves in a furrow. No sooner had they dropped to the ground than the cyclone struck their home. Their two-story house and also the cowshed and barn were crushed as if they had been paper. All the timbers were carried away and scat tered. One mile east John Bayer's farm was next. He and all his stock were killed. The family took refuge in a cyclone cellar and escaped with few bruises. The cy- clone continued east, and east of Hartwell it changed it's course and started in a south easteriy direction, crossing the Burlington tracks one mile west of Hartwell and con- tinued it's course westerly until half mile south of town, where It struck Peter Billis- bach's farm and swept everything before it. The family of the farmer escaped unin- Jured.

POLICE JUBILANT.
Think They Are on Track of Abductor
 of Marion Clark.

New York, May 7.-The police are ..earching for one Carrie Wilkinson, who was discharged from the Mothers and Ba- bies' hospital with a new born baoe on August 15, 1897. It is believed that she is the nurse girl who stole the child Marion Clark. It is known that she took the name of Carrie Jones upon leaving the hospital. Her baby died September b. About three months ago the mother went to the Van derbilt Clinic for treatment, where her rec ord was known.
 She had been breeding over the death of her child and her sanity was then doubted. Her description answers closely to that of Carrie Jones, the woman whom the police are searching for. The theory Is that the loss of her own child upset her reason and that she took the Clark baby, who was as old as her own would have been had it lived to satisfy a craving. The police are strongly inclined to accept this theory.

NO REPORT FROM BROOKE
Officials Feel They Have Treated the
 Cubans Fairly

Washington, May 27.-General Brooke made no report to the war department to- day upon the reported non-success of the effort to induce Cuban soldiers in Havana to lay down their arms and accept the gra- tuity provided for them.
 The officials are greatly disappointed, but feel that they havesdone all that in fairness could be expected of them, and if the re- maining Cuban soldiers are not inclined to accept, the government will withdraw the offer The opinion is growing here that the policy of the United States in this mat ter contemplates a foolhardy attempt at instruction. The malcontents are trying to retain the Cuban army in organization, and within their call, so they may dominate the affairs of the island by force in case of need.
