Gainesville, Ca. June 2.-Just aft
er the noon hour the city was struck
by a terrific cyclone, killing proba-
bly, 100 persons, unroofing the City
hotel and other large buildings, and
destroying the Gainesville cotton mills.
The greatest loss Of life is reported
in the destruction of the cotton mills,
Where about eighty persons are re-
ported killed and scores injured Eight
cen persons were killed in the city
between the center Of town and tne
railroad station, where four large
stores were blown down. The storm
had driven many persons at work in
the cotton mill when the cyclone
struck
Terrible Wreck of the Mill.
The mill was three-story building.
The first story was left standing, but
badly wrecked The second and third
floors were completely demolished, and
the employees were caught under the
wreckage and mangled. 1t is esti-
mated that there are at least seventy
h06inS 90 of
third floor and it is not known how
many persons On the second floor of
the building were killed. The roof Of
the electric car barn was lifted and
the building badly damaged. The rail
road depot suffered also.
Other Havoc of the Storm.
The Southern depot was blown
down. The Gainesville Iron works
were demolished and several people
persisted in the wreck. The Gaines
vile cotton oil mills were blown down
The old Piedmont hotel, now used as
a school and apartment house, was
RACED and half dozen or more people
were killed in it. The Richmond ho-
tel was wrecked, and several persisted
along with it. One hundred and TWEEN
ty-five cottages, a school house and a
church were blown away in the negro
section of the town. Five brick stores
on the main street of Gainesville We're
swept away. In all 200 buildings are
demolished here. The cyclone went
from Gainesville to New Holland and
it is believed many people are killed
there

Provisions of all sorts are becoming
scarce in Topeka No freight trains
nave entered the city for several days
and as large quantities of groceries
were destroyed in North Topeka there
Will not be enough for the people to
eat II this situation lasts much longer.
1t Will be at least a week before
freight trains from the east can enter
Topeka, and perhaps longer. An effort
VIII be made to secure stock Of
provisions from the smaller towns
down the road south Of here.
1t is reported that a vigilance COM
mittee shot two thieves caught in the
act of footing flooded houses. The
work of rescue went on all day yes
terday and all last night, and many
lives have been saved by the rescuers.
A man named j. C. Moore foated all
the way from Topeka to Lawrence be-
fore he was rescued. AS soon as he
got out he telegraphed back to To
peka asking if his family were safe.

The cyclone first hit the town be-
low the Southern railway station. 1t
dropped unnoticed, and before any one
realized what was happening it had
ripped down brick buildings frame
houses, churches and school buildings
as if they were structures of paper
One Of the first large buildings to fall
was the Gainesville cotton mills, a
three-story structure. The third and
second stories were shaved off smooth
ly, and it is believed every person
working in them persisted About 900
were working in the mill at the time,
but the greater portion of them were
in the lower story and escaped.
In the five brick buildings on the
main street about eighteen people were
killed most of them enaDlOyeS in the
stores A fire has started in this pile
of wreckage and the fire department
is unable to get to it because of the
Instructions in the street
AS soon as the storm had RACED the
buildings those who were not disa bled
Immediately went to work at rescuing
the victims. All the stores in the
business section that were not nit
closed their stores, and every male
citizen who could lend a hand prompt
ly joined in the work of rescue.

Lamp Burns Germs,

Professor Hans Molisch of Prague
believes that he has discovered a use
for bacteria. He has communicated
to the Vienna Academy Of Sciences the
specifications Of mining lamp in
which bacteria supply light.
The lamp consists of a glass jar, in
which there is a lining of saltpeter
and gelatine, previously inoculated
with bacteria. The latter develop in
numerably in two days, causing the
jar to become Illuminated with a
blush green light. This last brilliant
ly for several days, gradually diminish
ing until it disappears in about fort
night or three weeks.
Professor Molisch says that the light
is suitable for mines and powder
magazines because it is cold and not
dangerous. Faces can be recognized
by this light for a distance of two
yards, and large type can be read by
it.-Chicago Journal.

marched to the head of the mound
and laid wreath, remaining in a
contemplative attitude as if dream
ing of the honored dead. Twelve
boys next marched with flags to the
head of the mound and Columbia
inquired of them the purpose of
their coming. Their answer was
that they were the loyal guard Of the
nations heroes. Then they paired
and dipped their flags as they
passed the mound. Then twelve
girls came with flowers and an
swered that they were to deck the
graves Of the loyal, true and brave,
each boy and girl speaking two lines
in explanation of their purpose. AS
each girl passed in single file she
laid a bouquet on the mound.
They showed good training.

The Other Fellows Burden.

The British workingmen who have
been investigating the industrial con-
ditions in this country report that the
British workingman has nothing to
learn from the American, but that
American employers are far ahead of
their British competitors. AS some
body in Great Britain is behind the
Americans, it is not unnatural that
the British workingmen find that it is
not they. but their employers.

SITUATION AT KANSAS CITY
Town May, Perhaps. Have 60 Fight for
Her Life Soon.

Town May. Perhaps. Have TO Fight for
Her Life Soon.
Kansas City, June with gas and
electric lights eXtinguished. the water
works shut down, and the city prac-
tically at the mercy of the first fire
that shall break out; with railroad
transportation feeble and uncertain,
Kansas City may, if the waters do not
recede within the next two OR three
days, be compelled to fight for her
very life.
The first authentic information from
Kansas City, Kan, is received. In
that district 10000 people are home
less. A number which cannot be esti-
mated has been drowned, and the
property loss has been heavy. The sit
uation there is a parallel to the situa-
ton here-apparently no better, and
no worse. There is no great probabili
ty that there will be further loss Of
life. In the east and the west bot
toms-many obstinate people are still
clinging to their homes, although the
police have run boats beneath their
windows and offered to take them
away.
1t is utterly impossible to 70, m any
estimate of the number of dead in
Kansas City. There is no possible
way Of getting at the names Of the
dead, and no chance of forming any
estimate that cam confidently be
termed accurate 1t is likely how
ever. that the number of fatalities in
Kansas City, Mo-, will approximate
fifty. Down in the wholesale district
the condition of some of the people is
pitiable. They have been held prison
ers for two days. threatened with
death by drowning, at one time by
fire, and for the most part without
food, and for twenty-four hours with
out drinking water. Every effort is
being made. to rescue them, and they
will all be saved today.
It is now stated that the packing
plants in ArmOurdale and Argentine
are not seriously damaged. I ut 1900
people are homeless there
