WIND STORM AT ST. FRANCIS.
Buildings Torn to Pieces and Other Dam
age Wrought in Terrific Gale
Wednesday Afternoon.

A blow at st. Francis came very
close to being a cyclone Wednesday
afternoon. A heavy cloud moved
down the valley and was dark and
threatening. When opposite TO town
the wings of the storm cloud swung
around and met. The dust was blind
ing and the wind lifted some dry
goods boxes standing by the corner Of
a store high In the air and tore them
into kindling wood. a buRg- standing
by q livery barn was torn to shreds.
An empty store building was complete
~ demolished and trees and outhous-
es we're blown down in all parts Of
town. The storm was unaccompanied
with rain or hail, but the force OF the
wind was terrific. II. A. Bowman, Of
the GoOdland Mercantile company,
who has branch store there, and re-
turned yesterday evening from st.
Francis, reports that old settlers de-
clared it was the worst storm ever ex-
perienced in the valley, and Mr.. Bow
man said he never saw anything like il,
and that he was nearly blown away as
he ventured out TO investigate.

BY THE MORPHINE ROUTE
Opal Smith Quarre1s With Her Sister
and Then Takes Poison.
Physicians Are Called in and After Con,
siderable Work the Young WOman's
Life Is Saved-Act Was Commit
ted While Intoxicated.

Opal Smith, a woman of the demi-
monde, took morphine Monday night
and it was with considerable difficulty
that her life was saved.
That evening about dark she and her
sister, Gladys. who lives with her, came
up town and both imbibed freely from
the grief drowning bowl. They got
separated and spent considerable time
looking for each other around town.
Finally. about eight o'clock Gladys re-
turned to the house, and Opal reached
the place a little later, very much in
toxicated. The two women got TO quar-
reling and in the midst of the trouble
Opal swallowed a considerable guam
tity of morphine and was soon uncon-
scious.
The city marshal, meanwhile, had
heard there was trouble at the house
and reached there soon after the wom-
an took the drug. Discovering what
had happened, be hastily summoned
Drs. Candy and Richards, who by the
use of antidotes finally brought her
BACK to consciousness. At last reports
she had entirely recovered.
It is said that the Smith woman, who
is young and handsome, is the wife of
a lieutenant in the regular army sta
toned at Fort LeavenwOrth. She
came to GOodIand nearly two months
ago and was for a time an inmate of a
north end resort. Several weeks ago
she and her sister moved to a house in
the east part Of town.

County High school.

The county high school and the
GOodland public school opened aus
picioUsly Monday.
The teachers in the various depart
ments are: S. V. Mallory, principal;
Miss Rose Filler, grammar department;
Miss Mamie Limbaugh, intermediate;
Miss Bessie Season, second primary;
Miss Eva Kellogg, primary.
The force Of instructors is made up
Of excellent material, and the outlook
is flattering for an excellent school.
The attendance at the opening has
shown the general interest taken By
students and parents. The numbers
enrolled in the various grades are as
follows:
High school, A; grammar. Al; inter
mediate, a; second primary, 8; pri-
mary, 50; total 2O2. Seventeen Of the
high school pupils are from the
country, which shows that the people
living outside Of town fully appreciate
the advantages offered by the county
high scOool.

.LEAPED FROM THE LIMITED.
With Train at Full Speed a Passen.
ger Jumps OF and Is Little Hurt.
While, In Demented state c. r. Nation,
a COnsumptive Of Dunkirk, n. "
Throws Himself From q Rock
Island Train Near Brewster.

+ G.. r. Nation, an invalid, had a mar
row escape from a tragic death Sat
urdsy night near Brewster. Mr.. Mat
ton is in the last stages Of consump
tion, and had been at Oaks Home, in
I Denver, receiving treatment, but had
started for his home in Dunkirk, Y. Y
accompanied by a nurse.
The two occupied a berth in a sleep
er on the eastbound Rock Island train
known as the sROcky Mountain Limit
ed" The train was several hours late
Saturday night and when between
/ Edison and Brewster the invalid got
out of bed without waking his attend
ant, made his way to the car door and
IN some unexplained way opened IL,
and jumped from the car. When the
nurse missed his charge a search was
made for him but he could not be
found. When the train reached Selden
the conductor telegraphed the officials
at GOOdland about the missing man.
The cars on this train are Of the wide
vestibule pattern and are so difficult
to open that it was thought certain
that the sick man could not have es-
capped from the car, and that he would
be found when the car could be search
ed more thoroughly. The train was
nearly to Omaha before it was finally
made certain that he was not in the car.
kilograms we're sent along the road
and trainmen were instructed to look
out for a supposed Hfeless body along
the track. He was found alive but III
conscious on the sheltered side Of a
pile Of ties near the track about three
miles west Of Brewster by the trainmen
OF the Colorado Flyer" due here in
the morning at 5:15. He was brought
TO GoOdland where he received medical
treatment. Beyond few scratches he
had no injuries but disIocated shout
der. This was set by Drs. Smith and
Gulick.
1t is supposed that Nation was men
tally deranged when he jumped from
the car. He seemed to be under the
delusiOn that he was being pursued by
enemies, and it is probable that while
this idea was uppermost in his mind he
attempted an escape. As the train was
moving at the rate of nearly 60 miles
an hour at the time, it is almost mirao- |
ulous that he was not killed outright. |
Besides he lay in the cold night air
from IL o'clock at night to five O'Clock |
in-the morning, unprotected except by |
a thin suit Of undertaking. Such an /
exposure would result seriously for
many man IN good health.
Monday morning Mr.. Ward, the /
nurse, returned 70 GoodIand from /
Omaha, and took Nation back to Den
yer on the II:2O train.

AMERICAS FAST TRAIN.
Empire State Express Holds Record for
Long Run-PhiIadeIphia & Reading
Make Best Time on Short Distance.

Long Run-PhiladeIphia & Reading
Make Best Time on Short Distance.
Some of the papers have reprinted
more or less at length a column article
published lately in the London Daily
Mail on the railroad speeds of different
countries. For the purpose Of compar-
ing the best express trains of Great
Britain, France and the United States,
four classes of trains were specified,
to-wit: those with trips exceeding 300
miles in length, those with journeys of
200 to 800 miles, those running from 100
to 200 miles, and those having distances
of less than 100 miles. The article in
question says that, in view of the re-
cent reduction of the speed of the fam
Gus train of the Southern railway of
France between Paris and Bayonne to
90 miles per hour, the Empire State
Express between New York and Buff
falo, at 53.3 miles per hour, still has the
honor Of being the fastest long-dist-
ance train in the world. In the second
division Great Britain leads and in the
third France is at the head. Under 100
miles the distinction of possessing the
fastest platform to platform runs be
longs to the United States, and almost
exclusively to the trains of the PhiIa-
delphia & Reading and the Pennsyl-
vania between Camden and Atlantic
City, the fastest schedule rate Of the
former being 66.6 miles per hour and
of the latter 643 miles per hour. These
brilliant runs as they appear in the
schedules often gain additional luster
from the making up of time. The
Philadelphia & Reading trains are apt
to be considerably delayed in getting
out of Camden, and the Pennsylvania
exit from that city is not the most sat
isfaetory in the world A writer trav-
eled lately on a Pennsylvania train Of
u cars from Camden to Atlantic City,
scheduled to make the run in 81 min
utes, but doing it actually in an even
60 minutes for the 80 miles. The start
was on time, and the arrival four min
ntes ahead Of time.

Unfounded Report.


The Galveston Tribune of the

its special correspondence from
Austin:
cit is learned today from an ex-
cellent source that j. B. Wells of
Brownsville has decided not TO
make the race for governor. 1t is
said his strength goes to Z. NJ.
Campbell of Palestine. This leaves
the field clear for Campbell, Crane,
Latham, and possibly Speaker r.

Judge Wells was shown the
above dispatch in the Tribune, and
he informs THE HERALD that it is
entirely unfounded, as he has au-
thorIzed no such statement. In
fact, he has not yet committed
in anyway upon the sub
ject of the gubernatorial race.
