WILD DAY FOR WIND.
FOURTEEN roRNApoEs SWEEP
OVER KANSAS.
Many Prairie Counties Arc Visited
Breaking Up of Hurricane Center
Reduces Force of the Wind-Small
Loss of Life Results.

THIS season Kansas has had fourteen
tornadocs in one day. This beats all rec
ords in the tornado line, even in Kansas.
According to weather forccasters, how
ever, the unusual number Of these storms
Is precisely the thing that prevented the
most wholesale destruction Of life and
property that ever. visited the State.
Originally it is believed that one great
tornado was formed and that almost at
once it split up into subdivisions. This
segregation reduced the force of the
wind, SO that only two people We're killed
by the storms and twenty injured. A
great deal of damage was done to crops
and many cattle and horses were killed.
Over the whole Southwest as far as
IeNas the storm n spread, and as
Gar as human prescience could discover
conditions in that section of the country
We're never SO favorable for great loss of
life and property. Fol some mysterious
reason the storm wave widened and the
strength was reduced by 80 per cent or
more.
The first storm formed i'll the ncighbor-
hood of SIS Peter and Paul's Church, five
miles north of Illinwool. Kan, ut 5
o'clock Sunday afternoon, destroying one
house completely and damaging several
other farm houses and %outbuildings. Al
most simultaneously another tornado
formed about four miles east of Great
Bend and, moving in Il northcastcrly di-
r%ection, demolished fences and barns and
killed considerable live stock. Here IL
farm house and building were dcmolisll-
ed. but the family escaped. Another
Storm Mt about the same time struck near
Pawnec Rock, thirteen miles southeast
of Great Bend, and wrecked several
buildings and destroyed crops. Consid-
srable damage, with no loss of life, is also
reported at and near Clatiin, in the north
east part of Barton County, and at Fred
eric, in the western part OF Rice County.
Rain and hail following the storm did
great damage to crops in some localitis.

Address of Professor Chrisnan La Re.
scnted by 5000 Women.
At the second days session of the Ma

Moines great Indignation was raised nv
the address of Oscar Chrisman, A, NJ.
Fh. d., professor of pathology or child
study i'll the State normal school at EN-
poria, Kan. Men never love as
women do" he said. Instantly the big
convention hall was filled with Kisses,
INT it was several minutes before the
speaker could proceed. He continued 10
say that women were made for love and
men for reason. This was greeted by
an indignant protest from 5000 throats.
The professor dropped this branch of the
subject and went on with his address.
NJ its conclusion Il dozen women lrnped
to their feet and demanded recognition.
Mrs. Birncy. who was presiding. gave
the floor TO Mrs. Winfield $. Hall Of Be,-

cd the street, MEN do love-" Mrs. Hall
then gave Prof. Chrisnan Il tongne-lash-
ing for fifteen minutes. When she ccas-
ed Il man and fifteen women jumped up.
The man. Il. II. Smith of Harlan, Iowa,
was recognized. lit is false lie said.
Men do love. 1t is !: Islander that the
professor has given you. He ought to
be ashamed of himself for standing be-
fore this audience and saving such
things. Men do love their swccthcnrts
and wives. As boys they love their moth.
ers. AS men they love their families,
Prof. Chrisman has queer ideas for an
educator of the young. He has no husi-
ness telling this congress of mothers that
men do not love. They know better. and
l am glad of this magnificent rclukc the
speaker has suffered justly ut your
hands" The man closed. and the women
cheerpd.
The meetings of the congress were we'll
attended and full of interest. More than
1000 delegates were in attendance from
out of the town. Policemen had to help
