HAIL STORM At KAHORADO.
Chunks Of Ice as Big as Hens Eggs
Fall Hard and Fast.
All the window Glass in South side of
Buildings Broken Out-GeOrge Pantz-
er Knocked SenseIess While Out
in the storm-Big Rain.

An old time hail storm was expert
enced at KanOrado Sunday. The story
Of what happened is true, but it sounds
more like far fetched piece Of fiction or
a fable out Of the orient. Frank Hol-
ingshesd and J. N. Leonard, who live
near Kanorado, were in the city Monday
and gave an account of the terrible
storm which struck that locality be-
tween four aud five O'Clock Sunday
afternoon. Hollingshead lives two miles
to the south but happened to be in town
when the storm came up. He says the
hail broke all the window glass in the
south side Of the buildings IN the town
Some of the hail stones were as large as
hens eggs and wherever they struck
they made things lively, bounding and
rolling and hammering the building as
though the stones were chunks Of iron.
J. N. Leonard lives about a mile and
a half to the east OF the city. He was
on the road when the hail came thickest
and hardest. The rim of his hat was
punched full of holes and he said he
didn't do it either for the hat was too
good a one to riddle in that way for the
sake of a story. The crown Of his hat
was in better condition than the rim.
That was because his head was IN it, but
the hail did not care much either way,
for where they couldn't 60 through they
left Jumps on his head as large as
English walnuts. Mr.. Leonard, his wife,
a little daughter, eleven years old, and
son six years old, wers only about half
way home when the storm struck them.
There were no buildings or shelter near,
so they got the full benefits of the storm.
Placing his wife and children on the
sheltered side they trudged Oh. The
boy received an ugly bruise on one Of
his hands as he was clinging to his
mother. The little girl had many black
and blue spots on her body from the eff
fects of the hail, while Mrs. Leonard re-
ceived her share as well.
George Painter, living about ten
miles south of Kanorado, was on his way
home with a slow team hitched to a
farm wagon. After the storm had
passed the team was noticed going by
the Flower place without a driver, and
the young son of Mrs. Flower ran out
to see what was the matter. He found
Mr.. Painter lying prone in the wagon
box, having been laid out by large hail
stone. He was soon again IN the pO-
session Of his wits but was badly marked
up by the beating he received IN the
storm.
The big, black cloud, from which the
storm came, arose in the south, drifted
northward and then turned toward the
northwest The hail strip was not wide
but was very severe on everything in Its
path. The crops were too small to be
much injured. All over the western
part OF the county there was a heavy
rain which continued a greater part oil
the day and gave the ground a good
soaking.

THRoNe ATTENDS THE BALL.
Annual Dance Of the o. r. c. Brilliant
Ahair-VisitOrE from other States

Annual Dance of the o. r. c. q Brilliant
AHair-VisitorE from Other States
The third annual ball Of the Order Of
Railway Conductors at the opera house
Tuesday evening was a hattering sue
cess. The throng Of people, the music
and the social pleasure made the Oc-
casion a stirring event.
The hall was illumined with high DOW
er gas lights, and though the sky was
black with clouds the dancers triPped
the fantastic toe in the light Of day. On
the sides Of the hall were hung large
mirrors which constantly reflected, like
moving pictures, the graceful figures Of
the dance. The windows were hung
with lace curtains aud the interior sp-
Pearancs Of the building erthused q
feeling Of comfort and delight.
Before nine o'clock many spectators
/ had gathered TO witness the brilliance
Of the affair and to hear the sweet
sounds from the orchestra. The dane
ers came IN leisurely at the appointed
| hour and moved about with pleasant
sociability while the orchestra was max
ing ready.
The dash of the two step came first as
a prelude which was harmOniOuslY
blended into the more stately rythm Of
the grand march as the clear announce
ment fell from the lips of the conductor
of the ball. Fully seventy i've couples
formed in line, headed by Mr..
d. B. Burley, of Fairbury, Seb., and
Mrs. E. o. Price, of Denver, Colo. The
figures were nicely executed, the march
ending in the buoyant two step again.
Then began the regular program of
dances. More than a hundred dane
ers were on the floor at a time
and so went the round of the two step
waltz, three step, schOttische, minuei
/ and quadrille until the earliest hours OIL
the morning had fitted away. a five
piece orchestra from Denver furnished
the music, which was one Of tht
D features Of the evening.
The ladies of the Catholic church
served soft drinks and supper on tn
+ stage. All of the dancers here re
q, freshed themselves, which, with the 1ov
: Of rich harmony from the orchestra
b made the hours seem short and tn
4 movements light.
}; Visitors were in attendance from Den
!. yer, Colorado Springs, and Burlington
d Colo. Colby, Norton, Phillipsburg. Kan
o and Fairbury, Neb.
D The ball was enjoyed by all and tn
:: condu ctOrs received numerous cOngrai
0. ulations Oh the event.

MUST HAVE THE HOUSES.
The Railroad Company Improves Its
Works on Strength Of This.
Ten Thousand Dollars Worth OF New Mach
inery 70 Be Put in Here-LarEe Addition
to shops ContemPlated-ToEn Must
Provide Homes for shoPmen.

Where there is smoke there Is bound
to be FIRE. People never doubt this.
Then neither need they doubt the fact
that the Rock Island company is going
TO make GOOdland an important rail
road division with a large increase in
machinery, with added shop room. and
consequently a greater capacity iD
the motor power department. Repeat
eddy has this paper made announce
ments TO this effect They were not Of
the stuff dreams are made Of. They
came from sources that were to be trust
ed, from departments which saw the
need and said It must come. A blind
man, If he would keep his ears open,
would find this out without trying. The
railroad company Is anxious to double
its force at this point; want to increase
the room IN the shop building, which
would thereby strengthen the motive
power department here. This improve
ment alone would add thousands Of dol
lars every month to the already large
pay roll. It would mean more people,
ton. The large amount Of money
brought here every thirty days by the
railroad company to pay their employees
is what gives financial backbone to
GOOdland at the present time. A CO
operation Of the citizens of the town
with the Rock Island will bring about
the most substantial boom in the history
Of GOOdland. It will not be foil Of air,
but full Of solid employment and the
presence Of the almighty dollar.
At the meeting Of the citizens and
representatives Of the company in April
there was a clear understanding on both
sides that prosperity was ready to strike
Us hard if employees could 6 nd a place TO
eat and sleep. Houses are what is
wanted, and they are wanted badly. 1t
may seem queer to people that the great
Rock Island is hard put to it here Just
because there is not sufficient house
room TO hold their men, but it is so
They don't want to 60 into the house
building business and are holding out q
good proposition to the people If they
will take hold of the building Of resi-
dences and relieve the situation. The
Commercial club Of Goodland was or
gained some time ago 70 this end.
Ten thousand dollars worth of new
machinery has been asked for bl
Master Mechanic Anderson aud it is en-
couraging to note in this matter that al
ready $1,000 in machinery has beer
granted to this place. The bill Of lading
OF this machinery has already been re
ceived, and one carload is on the track
here.
Everything goes to argue that tn
Rock Island has extensive plans 70
GOOdIand, and the people should besti
! themselves in meeting the requirement
expected Of them. A Rock Island officis
said to a reporter Of this paper recent
that GOOdland is in the face of the biz
gest solid boom IN its history If the ret
, idence potion Of the city advances {
meet demands.

sluggish and inactive, the digestion i'm

ambition for anything, and a feeling
