TROUBLES OF THEIR OWN.
Russians Trembling for Fear of Revo-
utionary Outbreak.

The report comes from ST. Peters
burg that the greatest anxiety prevails
in administrative circles owing to the
possibility of serious outbreaks on the
occasion of the approaching bic enten-
airy of that city The police have re-
quested the owners of workshops and
factories to refuse a holiday to their
employees during the festivities, but
the men probably will refuse to work
Revolutionist emissaries have been
flooding the workshops with seditious
literature, in which it is declared that
while the czar, in his plan of March
IL, pretended to be animated by a de-
sire to amelioriate the lot of the peas
ants, in reality cares nothing for them,
and the men must themselves obtain
their rights. These pamphlets are
couched in language most insulting to
the czar, the czarina and the govern
ment. The employers are asking for
police protection during the celebra-
lions.
The recent destruction by fire of a
factory at ST. Petersburg, involving
the loss of about 100000, is attributed
to the workmen.

Enid, Oklahoma, Struck by Terrific
Storm and Hundreds Are Homeless.
Hundreds OF persons were rendered
homeless and property damage estI
mated at 100000 was done in the
Enid bottoms alone by a cloudburst
that struck west Of Enid, Oklahoma,
al midnight Saturday night. The ag-
gregate damake will doubtless be
raised much higher by losses sus-
tanned between Enid and the seat OF
the storm.
At IL O'Clock bank OF water three
feet high and 200 feet wide swept
through the bottoms, carrying houses
and everything before it. 1t came
upon Enid without warning while
most OF its citizens were asleep.
Within a few minutes 100 houses
were partly or completely sub
merged. Rescuers went to work i'm
mediately, and all that night labored
industriously saving persons from per-
ilous positions and aiding those driven
from their homes. Many pitiable
scenes we're witnessed as the people
stood around waiting for the water to

the means at hand are inadequate.

CYCLONE IN KANSAS
TWO PEOPLE KILLED AND A DOz-

Houses Completely Demolished and

Distance Of Thirty Rods.

or the injured, none is fatally hurt.
The house in which the Olsons lived
was demolished completely and the.
body of the boy was found thirty rods
from where the house had stood. Pc
ter Olson was SO badly hurt that he
never regained consciousness. The
other members of the family escaped
with slight injuries.
The wind carried the farm house oc-
cupied by Nels Olsenburg a distance
Of five rods. Miss Christine Olsenburg
saw the storm coming and escaped
from the house half minute before
it was carried away
A terrific rainstorm followed the cy-
clone. At Bridgeport, in this county.
hail fell continuously for twenty min
utes, doing immense damage to the
wheat.
At Ashland the storm came at about
5 o'clock, and large portion of that
district was laid waste.
The damage will be immense. and it
is considered miraculous that no lives
were lost. So far as is known nobody
was killed and none in Ashland in
jured severely. 1t is reported from
the country districts that some were
fatally injured. The indications are
hat the storm was worse in the coun--
Try than in town. This country is very
sparsely settled, however. and no par
iculars are obtainable of the extent OF
he damage done.
The cyclone passed through Blaine,
Kan, at p. m, the Commercial hotek
)eing demolished, but no one injured
At Wright number of houses were
demolished, stock killed and growing
rops badly damaged.

the end of twenty years. The land to which the water was carried vas taxed to pay the premium and sink- ing fund on the bonds, and for about six years the property owners paid the taxes. Then came objections to the assessment, and during the next few years few of the property owners would pay the tax. Judgments were obtained against the land by some of the bondholders and cloud was put on the titleslof all the property in the district.
 About year ago the Tulare board of trade appointed committee to devise some means of liquidating this debt. This committee succeeded in effecting compromise by which the bondholders agreed to take up the amounts of the bonds that were still outstanding and the accumulated in- terest at fifty per cent of their value. These bonds were placed in escrow with the San Francisco Savings Union bank and they called for s273,0 ,075. At the commencement of the present year the hoard of supervisors of Tulare county placed an assessment of 3.6 cents on the dollar to raise money to pay this amount, and arranged to take up the bonds on October 1. Fearing that the amount raised by taxation would not be sufficient, the citizens of Tulare, at mass meeting subscribed s1O,OOO to make up any deficiency. But small part of this, however, was required.
 Thursday morning the money was formally turned over to the bank that acted as the representative of the bondholders and the bonds were in turn surrendered to the committee representing the citizens of the 1ulare irrigation district. There was large delegation of citizens from Tulare present at the bank to witness the formal cancellation of the debt.

IRRIGATION DEBT PAID
District Bonds of TuIare Taken Up by
 Citizens

San Francisco-The TuIare irriga- tion district is free of debt. The bonds that were outstanding against it have been taken up and in short time the documents will make the foundation of huge bonfire in the city of Tulare, which will signalize the event by grand celebration, to which Governor Pardee has been in vited.
 On July l, 1890, the Tulare irriga- tion district was formed and bonds to the amount of $5OO,OOO were issued. About 300 miles ot ditches were constructed and water was carried to about 37, GOO acres of land. This ter ritory now includes the city of Tulare. These bonds bore interest at 6 per cent and were to be taken up at
