He was arrested and adjudged In

Topeka asylum. Kelly was released.
He had been acting queerly again and
had declared that he would kill the
five men who sent him to the asylum.
For two weeks he has been practicing
shooting with a revolver daily at the
Fort Leavenworth range.
Soon after II o'clock Wednesday ne
appeared at CARROTS Office and with
out warning shot Garrett as he sat
at his desk. Garrett fell to the floor
and Kelly deliberately fired four more
shots into the PROSTATE form. Leaving
his victim for dead, Kelly ran to the
rear of the company's lumber yard and
began reloadipg his revolver. Present
ly he returned to the office to find DR..
McGee. who had been attracted by the
shooting, bending over Garrett. Level
ling his revolver, Kelly took aim at
the physician and fired. The bullet
struck McGee in the spine, and he
toppled over near where Garrett lay.
Then followed an exciting street
fight between the madman and offi'
GERS who came upon the scene. Kelly.

through the lumber yard. He met
Ike Healer. a laborer, and shot him
in the hand. A few yards further on
he encountered Sergeant Dodge. Inc

bullet from Kelly's revolver struck
Dodge in the neck, but not before
that officer had shot him in the shoul-
der. Kelly kept running and was
soon confronted by Detective NC
Donald and Officer Flather. McDon-
aid dropped Kelly with bullet in the
neck. Dodge raised his revolver, DuC

UANT LIGHT On WAR LOAN
BRITISH CURIOUS TO KNOW HOW
HALF OF 1T HAS ALREADY
BEEN PLACED
SOME FEELING ON MATTER
LondOm's Papers Comment on 1t
FreeIy-Besieve Part of 1t Was
Reserved for Government
Departments.

LONDON, April 22.-Great curiosity is
manifested hero to ascertain how half
the war loan has "already been placed, -
as asserted in the government invita-
tion to subscriptions for the remaining
half 1t is supposed that a portion Of the
930,00O,00O already placed" may have
been reserved for government depart
n1ents; but 1t is rather believed financial
houses with outside connections have in
terested them in the f1otation. No ex-
planation, however, has been afforded,
and, considering the financial installment
of the loan Is payable in December and
that the first quarters interest will be
paid July g. the issue is regarded as
cheap; and not little resentment has
been created by the fact that only half
the issue has been ordered to the public.
This dissatisfaction is voiced by the
Daily Chronicle which says: "The pub
lie ought to have been Informed by this
time to whom the chancellor of the eX-
chequer has allotted $50, 900 of the
ISSUE"
The paper proceeds to comment Sc
verely upon the policy of the government
which has led to "such disastrous is
sue, in which the British taxpayer drops
the round sum of a3, 600 in the process
Of borrowing s60,0O0,0 Geo." and points out
that under Mr.. Gladstone consols rose
to par for the first time in the country,
while since the Tories have held office
they have steadily declined from ia to
the present price.
The Standard thinks the issue is equiv
alent to purchasing consuls at 931A per
cent. and that despite the automatic
reduction of interest from "a to 214 in
1903, the price will rise after the war. 1t
says:
Whether the rate of interest will prove
sufficiently attractive to the American
contractor, with so many outlets for his
capital, remains to be be seen; but judg-
ing from the preliminary inquiries, appli-
cations on French account will be con-
siderable"
The Times says: "The great financial
houses in the city have unwritten half
the loan, and as, according to the pros
pectus, they take it on the same terms
as other applicants, no complaints of
favoritism can be made.
Subscribers get the best state security
in the world at fairly cheap rate. The
issue represents an emergency credit Of
the United Kingdom, its normal credit;
and there is hardly another country in
the world which could even in times Of
peace obtain a loan on equally as good
terms"

SHOTS FLEW THICKLY.
FOUR INNOCENT VICTIMS OF Ne
GRO QUARREL. I'm KANSAS CITY.


KANSAS CITY, April 21.-Four innocent
white men were shot, one perhaps fatally,
q negro shot, and another badly cut as
the result Of a drunken fight started by
crowd Of negroes in Rosedale, Kan,
suburb of Kansas City, today. William
Blanchard received the contents of a
shotgun in the face and breast and was
taken to the hospital, where his wounds
are considered fatal One of Blanchard's
eyes was blown out, his face badly dis
figured, and big hole was torn In his
chest j. W.. Davis, deputy marshal,
was shot IN the hand; two other white
men, names unknown, were shct and
wounded slightly; Ben Gable (colored)
was cut seriously, and Tom Smith (col-
ored) was shot and wounded slightly.
The negroes were quarreling In front
of ''joint'' when Sid Rawles, negro,
precipitated the trouble by cutting Cable,
the latter securing a shotgun and firing
into the crowd. The shot missed the
crowd and struck Blanchard, who was
waiting for a street car. During the ex-
citement that followed, half a dozen
negroes secured revolvers and shotguns
and began firing promiscuously. Deputy
Marshal Davis came upon the scene
and was greeted with a volley from the
negroes, receiving wound In the hand.
Davis, with the aid of two officers, final
ly succeeded in quelling the disturbance
and arresting the leaders, but not before
two innocent white men had been in
iured by stray bullets. These two men,
whose wounds are believed to have been
slight, disappeared before their identity
became known.

FRENCH AND GERMANS.
Soldiers Are Cooperating in Their

Soldiers Are Cooperating in Their
March to the boundary.
PAO TING FU. Saturday, April 90
This city has been for the last four days
big military camp OF French and Ger
man soldiers on the way to the front
1t is now estimated that 5000 French
troops and 5000 Germans will form the
entire force when all the reinforcements
have arrived
There is no truth in current reports re-
garding severe fighting between the out
posts and the Chinese.
Three men left yesterday under escort
to convey Emperor Kwang Su's first order
to Gen Liu to retire immediately into
the province Of Shan ST. Prince Ching
and other Chinese officials say the Chi
nese general has already retired; but their
combinations or denials are considered
very unreliable.
The French and German troops seem
to be cooperating fairly well, although
until yesterday (Friday) there was some
doubt as to who would command the
expedition. This question: has been set
tied by an arran cement Under which the
French and Germans are to work inde-
pendently, and yet at the same time
cooperate
If the Chinese retire oyer the Chan 81
boundary, then, according to internation-
al agreement, the foreign troops should
not go beyond it. The ministers of the
powers in Pekin earnestly nope that this
will prove to be the case They point
out that the Chinese force has not been
aggressive and only camera few miles
over the border, arguing that 1t might
just as well have been allowed to re-
main where it was.

this city and Northern Ohio throughout
yesterday and last night gradually sub
sided today. 1t was followed tonight by
q fog so dense that it was almost I'M
possible to see from one side of a street
TO the other.
Notwithstanding the heroic efforts of
the telegraph and telephone companies
to repair their Frustrated lines there has,
thus far, been little improvement in the
service Not single wire was working
on any direct route between this city and
Buffalo, or Pittsburg, tonight. Through
out the day big gangs of men have been
at work on the various lines resetting
poles and stringing wires. Every avail
able man has been pressed into service
by the several companies, and while the
repair work is progressing rapidly it will
be perhaps several days before direct
communication with points east of Cleve-
land is fully re-established.
Trains on practically all roads entering
the city continue to arrive from one to
three hours behind schedule time This
is especially true in regard to the lines
from the East. The fact that there are
no wires to facilitate the movement of
trains is responsible to a large extent
for the delay in traffic.
"A number of the suburban electric lines
running east and south from the CITY
are still tied up and will likely remain
so for many hours to come.
Traffic on the city street car lines con-
tlnue to be badly crippled all day as a
result OF the deep snow and SluSh on the
tracks. so heavy is the snow and slush
in many places that the most powerful
sWeepers become stalled In it.
A large section of the city is still cut
on from communication by wire with fire
headquarters. Scores of fire alarm boxes
are out of service, and seven fire de-
partment stations are without telegraph
OF Telephone communication as a result
OF the general prostration of wires.

ZONE OF RUIN REACHES
TWO HUNDRED MILES
Is That but Few Fatalities
Have Been Reported.

PITTSBURG, April 21.-The most wide
spread and destructive storm, from
material standpoint of view has passed.
1t has left zone of ruin two hundred
miles in diameter. 1t was unusual in
that it possessed so many different feat-
ureS. Cities seventy miles from Pitts
burg were tied up by one of the worst
snow storms ever known. While the
snowfall was from eighteen inches to
three feet deep, which is not eXtraordi-
nary, the snow was so wet that it clung
In weighty masses to shade and fruit
trees and electric wires and poles bear
ing them to the earth. It settled on
steam and street railroads like wet sand,
stopping all traffic and making pedes-
trianism a feat for only the most hardy.
The fall was SO heavy and spontaneous
in some places that the residents declare
1t seemed like the bursting of a snow
cloud
A few miles away from these unfortu-
nate towns were municipalities in just
as dire straits from rain, but with
speedier prospect for relief as the rain
will run off faster than the snow can
melt, yet here traffic was practically sus-
pended. Water over-fowed and washed
out railroad tracks, and hillsides came
down and buried the rails In addition,
nearly every town on the Ohio river
between Pittsburg and Wheeling, is in
darkness tonight. Electric light plants
or their wires are damaged, and the gas
in the mains is generally turned off.
In previous floods this precaution was
not taken, and the result was explosions
with loss Of life and property. The gas
companies will wait until the waters
6ubside sufficiently to permit an in
spection of the pipes and to repair any
leaks. So half a million or more people
are tonight cropping in what appears to
them the blacklist darkness compared
with years of cheap and brilliant lilum-
ination.
A remarkable feature of the storm is
that few fatalities directly attributable
to this cause have been reported. A rail
roader caught in a wreck, caused by a
landslide. and the death of an old
woman from shock, are the only ones
known so far. There may be others,
but as communication is cut off from
many populous places, 1t will be the end
of the week before the total can be
footed up.
The money loss is just as difficult to
foot up. It may reach $3,000,00 The
railroads think they have lost $l,G00;0QO.
The loss Of wages to the army Of workers
in manufacturing plants up and down
the river mount up to $50O,00O, and the
repairs to plants will be large sum.
The damage to stores. stocks, residences,
and furniture in Fittsburg, Allegheny,
and towns and cities down the Ohio will
probably reach $5OO,O0O. The telegraph
companies have suffered severely, but
cannot yet compute their losses.
In addition there is the enormous in
direct damage caused by the almost COM
plete suspension Of trade. What that
amounts to no one car determine exact
ly. and estimates simply reflect the con-
servative radical character of the com
puter.

GREAT ALARM FELT
IN THE OHIO VALLEY
Not Thought That the Present Flood
Will Prove as Serious as That
Of February, 1884.

of February, 1854.
CINCINNATI, O., April A.-There has
been more alarm throughout the Ohio
valley today on account Of the floods
than at amy period since February, 1884.
when the Ohio river reached its highest
stage of seventy-one feet and nine inch
es in this city Most Of the inhabitants
of the valley spent the night In anticipa-
tion Of the worst flood ever known in the
valley, as they will not know until to-
morrow the water has begun falling at
Pittsburg. Until the news reached the
river men here tonight, 1t was feared that
the record Of 1884 might he broken, but
now it is ger orally believed that the river
will not exceed the floods of February,
1897 and of March, 1898, when 1t reached
sixty-ope feet at Cincinnati. The present
flood is the worst that has ever been
known SO late in the spring.
Owing to the general prostration of
telegraph and telephone wires it is i'm
possible to hear from many points. The
trains are late on all the railroads and
some trains that were due last night
from the east have not yet arrived. 1t
is generally conceded that the fruit crop
throughout the Ohio valley Is gone and
the damage to crops Is very great.
