Terrible Storm

The storm period which reached
its climax Sunday was general over
Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Indian
Territory and Texas, and was &C
companied by cyclones or tornadoes
in all of the above states.
The storm was probably worse in
the Indian Territory, where de-
structive cyclone swept across the
Cherokee nation, beginning in the
Virdigris valley and ranging north
west to the northern part of the
Cherokee nation.
In Choteau, l. T., the cyclone
touched the north part of the town
and killed three people. In the
country through which it passed,
every house in its path was wrecked.
Large hail stones and terrific rain
accompanied the storm at this point
and railroad traffic was suspended
for twenty-four hours.
At Fa;rland, l. T., half dozen
business blocks were destroyed by
the tornado and seven persons killed
outright and others injured. -Four
miles south of Fairland the storm
was even more severe and many
farm houses and barns were COM
pletely demolished. Farm stock
was killed and several people were
injured.
A cyclone passed over the north
west part of Monett, Mo-, Sunday
and one passed close to Nevade.
Considerable property was destroyed
in that vicinity, but no lives were
lost.
Monday a tornado passed three
miles east of Mexia, Texas, demol-
ishing four residences and doing
much minor damage. Several peo-
pie were seriously injured.
In Eastern Kansas the high water
caused much destruction of proper
" and many families were rendered
homeless by the food. Small cy-
clones passed over several parts OF
the Neosho valley and considerable
property was destroyed.
The heavy rain which accompa-
MED the storm was general over sew
eral adjoining states and the subse-
ouent high water seriously interfer-
ed with and in some cases complete
ly suspended railroad traffic for a
time. Telephone poles were blown
down in some places and telephone
service crippled.
Taken as a whole the storm was
remarkable for its severity and the
range of territory which it covered.

Russia is quite anxious to get her
Black sea feet out through the

up with the request for permission

She will likely be successful unless
other nations interfere.

The Misses Winston Entertain.

The party given by the Misses Win
ston at the residence of their aunt,
Mrs. Winston on East Fourteenth
street last evening was one of the
prettiest affairs of the season. The
velvety lawn was lighted by numer-
Gus Japanese lanterns. Small tables
were scattered over the lawn at
which the guests played progressive
game with a name too long to men
ton. The prizes awarded were a sill
yer match safe to Mr.. John Hedgcoxe
and two silver hat pins to Miss Green
lee. The next game was also pro-
gressive and unique. Each guest drew
prize after much searching.
The punch bowl was presided over
by the little Misses Marie Sawyer
and Tiny Winston. They served
frappe during the evening. For re-
freshment watermelons were served.
The guests present were: Misses
Pattie SkiIlman, Sherman, Greenlee,

ST. Petersburg, July 2S.-Minister
of the Interior Won Plehwe was as
to the Baltic station to visit the En-
peror at Peterhof palace A bomb was
thrown under the minister's carriage
completely shattering it. Won Plehwe
was terribly mangled, and his coach
man was also killed. The assassin
was arrested. He is said to be a Jew
and declined to give his name. The
tragedy occurred at ten O'Clock on
Zabalansky street. The bomb
thrower must have known that Min
lister Won Plehwe would pass the spot
he chose for the act this morning, for
the minister made report to the EN-
peror every Thursday.
The Internal machine was thrown
with deadly accuracy, and the assas-
sin was favored by the fact that the
traffic was heavy owing to the cross
ing of lines of stret cars and continu-
Gus streams of heavy trucks. For this
reason the coachmau was OBJ iged to
slow down. The Minister'S servant
who was on the carriage box was
badly wounded. Two officers driving
by in cab were injured by splinters.
The assassin was himself wounded
in one eye He took to flight, but was
quickly overtaken. The road was for
a hundred yards strewn with the
wreckage of the carriage. Won Pleh-
we's head was battered almost be
yond recognition.

trated by an explosion at the hotel
Dunord, April 18th, Kazanoff, one of
the conspirators, being killed by the
accidental explosion of an internal
machine which it was said was in
tended for Plehwe.
1t is reported that six men were
implicated in the assassination, Ave
of whom fed into a little hotel ad-
Joining the scene. The hotel was sur
rounded by the police and all the in
mates arrested. The wounded man
was taken to the Alexandria hospital
SO dazed that he was unable to
speak 1t is said that he took poison
According to another version the
bomb was thrown from a window OF
the Warsaw hotel. The bomb thrower
ct another bomb was found. The
force of the explosion was so tremen-
dous that all the windows of the ho-
tel facing the street were blown in
md some large panes at the Warsaw
station hundred steps away were
shattered. Some drosky drivers at
the station were injured. In both the
Dunord affair and this case there
were explosive bullets in the bomb.
P'ehwe was appointed Minister of
the Interior April 18, 1902, succeeding
Sipiagune, who was assassinated by
L student named Balschaneff. Plehwe
had been director of the department
of police and conducted the prosecu-
ton of the regicides in 1881 after AL
exander H. was killed From that
time his power increased until it be-
came only second in Importance to
that of the Emperor. Several plots
to assassinate the Minister have, ac-
cording to reports, been discovered
during the last two years, which pc
riod has been marked by strong polit-
ical rivalry between the Minister of
the Interior and the former Minister
of Finance Witte, now president of
the committee of ministers. Piehwe
was largely of Polish blood, yet 1t
is alleged that no man in Russia so
signalized himself for severity against
the Poles as he. He was dreaded on
account of his control of the third
(secret) section of the police and of
the press through the censors. He
was not a man of learning, but was
'aborious in the extreme.
Won Plehwe was 66 years old. and
had spent forty years in official work.
In May. 1903. he was appointed pres
dent of the Imperial Commission to
larry out the Emperor's reform de-
rec. He was accused by enemies of
having had a part in the Kishineff
nassacres. but as he retained the
Emperor's confidence, it is only just
20 assume that the allegation was
nfounded

The attendance at the meeting call
ed at the court house last night to
consider the fair question was not
large. Those present. however, all
expressed themselves favorable to
holding fair if sufficient funds could
be raised.
W. NJ. Atkinson, President of the
Fair Association, called the meeting
to order and stated its object. Mr..
Atkinson said that the directors of
the Association had about concluded
to not hold a fair. but within the last
ten days or two weeks there had been
SO many calls for a fair by the peo-
pie generally that the directors had
again taken up the consideration of
the question. The directors and stock
holders had already assumed large
debt on account of past fairs. and did
not feel willing to add to this burden.
The fair of 1902 was the only fair
: ever held in Roswell that had more
than paid for itself. Mr. Atkinson
stated that he personally would be
glad to give his time to holding a
fair and would contribute literally,
but he did not feel like going into
it unless the citizens of Roswell
should contribute such a fund that
would pay the expenses. The direc-
tors did not expect this year to make
one cent toward clearing the present
debt. All they asked was that the
fair should pay for itself.
Lucius Dills, secretary of the AS
ISOLATION, then gave resume of the
history of the Fair Association from
It's organization up to the present
time. Mr.. Dills stated that according
to the lease in two years more the
fair grounds and all the permanent
improvements would revert to the
city. There has been more than $4,000
expended on permanent improve
ments ON the grounds. The directors
and stockholders are personally re-
sponsible for the debt assumed. So
that every cent that has been con-
.ribnted or will be contributed finally
comes back to the town. Mr.. Dills
thought that fair could be held
much cheaper this year than ever be
fore as there would be no permanent
improvements to make this year.
The discussion that followed was
purely informal. 1t was thought that
guarantee fund of -abont $500
would be Sufficient to undertake a
fair this fall. It was the sense of
the meeting that II the citizens de
sired 20 contribute this amount the.
directors should begin preparations
10 hold a fair 1t was moved BY II.
II. M. Bear and seconded by q p.
kemp that the chairman appoint
committee of three to interview the
cItizens ii regard TO contributions.
The motion was carried and the chair
