MARQUETTE, Kas., May s.-The
most disastrous tornado in the his
tory of central Kansas caused death
and desolation here last night. The
record is:
Killed, "a.
Seriously injured, 50.
The storm came from the south at
11:l6 O'Clock following q hard rain
and hail. 1t first did damage 8 miles
south Of town where it struck the fine
farm house OF Dion Hanson, demolish-
ing it and killing Hanson, his wife
and SON and seriously injnrlng chill
dren.
Then it followed the main road due
north until it nearly reached town
when it turned west striking the resi-
dence part on principal street.. Up
this street straight north it tore
through the city destroying practical
ly every house on the street and in
iuring or killing nearly every person
residing there on both sides Of the
street. Its track was about 100 yards
wide.
The Swedish Lutheran church, the
Methodist church and the opera house
block were demolished.
Much damage was done in the eoun'
! try south Of the city along the course,
Reports Of damage ten miles south
are coming in but not SO serious,
After leaving town on the north
the storm broke and did no more
harm.
People were taken entirely un-
awarea, nearly all being in bed. The
scenes today were heart-rendering.
Confusion makes it impossible to get
full details.

pie from the surrounding towns are

RATES EFFECTIvE CHARITY.
Every Afternoon at 4, Boys and Girls
Of Assorted Sizes Come for Loaves

thetic Sight.

There are sections Of Minneapolis in
which the multiple of 214 used by the
compilers of the city directory to esti-
mate population, is altogether too small,
and in the same sections it is notice
able that the average earning capacity
of the breadWinners is in inverse ratio
to the size of the family.
It is this condition, common to segre-
gated humanity the world over, that
has led to the establishment Of the
'sbreadline - by the directors of the
Union City mission, by means Of which
nearly one hundred loaves Of bread are
distributed, gratis, to the children of
poor families who come for them every
day at 4 pm.
The distribution Of the bread is a
sight worth a visit to the mission to
see. Boys and girls of assorted sizes
gather in the mission room next to the
st. James hotel, where a ffteen-min-
ute meeting is held to give the chill
dren combined entertainment and res
hgious instruction. After the meeting,
the bread is distributed, and a quaint
procession Of juvenile humanity, that
away ' from the door Of tSe misa hpgs
each youngster with a well-laden bag
slung over the shoulder.
Miss Simmons, who has recently
taken charge of the free-bread distri-
button, is trying to systematize the
process, so that she may be certain that
every family. receiving bread is fully
deserving Of help. In all charity work
! there is an uncertain factor of fraud
that must be recognized, and its posi-.
tive elimination is impossible, especially
| when charity is based upon truly hui.
manitarian motives. In the giving Of
the loaves Of bread it is particularly
difficult to be sure of every case, but
each is investigated as promptly and as
! thoroly as possible, and it at least is
certain that the percentage Of deserving
cases far exceeds that Of the unde
serving.
/ The bread used is secured from the
test laboratories connected with the big
mills, and is collected, daily by the mis-
sion. No bread is lighter or more
wholesome, for it Is made under ideal
conditions, and, its diversion from 8
purely commercial product into a means
Of charity is one Of the pleasant fea
lures Of the busy life Of a crowded city

PASTORS LEARNED MUCH
Presby terian Ministers Discuss Results
Of the Chapman Campaign.

Plans for continuance Of the revival
work in the churches Of the twin cities
were discussed at meeting Of the
presbytery Of Minneapolis and st. Paul
yesterday at the Merriam Park Presby-
terrain church. Some thirty ministers
were present and each reported on the
developments in his church since the
Chapman meetings. Every congregation
had increased in admitted members
from % to 100. AS one pastor expressed
1t, they had all learned many things in
church work which had never been,
taught them in theological colleges.
An important fact which developed,
was that the cards received at the
meetings showed but small part Of
the interest developed. One pastor told
of family Of twelve which had entered
his church as result Of the meetings,
and but one member of it had sent in a
card. Many remarkable conversions
were told Of. One business man who
had accepted Christ, had made it a point
to speak to each one Of his many en-
ployees on the subject Of his souls sal
walton. Plans were informally dis
cussed for continuing the evangelical
work. These plans will be developed at
future meetings to be held in st. Paul

MUST COME ALL RAIL
Present Stocks Of Steam Coal Are Prac-
tically Sold Out. -

3 With the obligations which the coal
companies have assumed, there is prac-
tieally no soft coal on the docks Stock
piles in Minneapolis are low, SO that for
the rest Of the winter soft steam coal
will undoubtedly be an all-rail article.
No advance has been made since the 25-
cent increase Dec. l, and none is indi-
Gated just now, but the scarcity is ad-
mitted.
:. Hard coal is in pretty good shape, 50
far as the stocks 90, and no advance in
price to the consumer is likely, unless
a strike, is started Advance in the
price of soft coal will follow from the
increased cost of transportation rather
than from the scarcity.

TO SUCCEED THORPE
REAL ESTATE BOARD MEMBERS
MUST CHOOSE A PRESIDENT Be
FORE ANOTHER MONTH.

Real estate board politics are begin
ming to seethe. The annual election of
officers will be held the second Wednes
day in January, and the names of nomi
nees must be posted ten days before
hand. The election comes in the midst
Of the slack season, and for that rea-
son the members Of the board have a
little time for the zest of wire-pulling
on mild scale.
s. s. Thorpe, who has served two
terms is the retiring president. Sew
suitable man to head the organization
Much of the work Of the board must
originate with the president, and for
that reason it is an important selection
that devolves on the board members,
when it comes to nominate successor
to Mr.. Thorpe. The mantle Of presi-
dent generally falls on man who is
not seeking the place. Politics in the
board has never reached the aggressive
stage that half a dozen members are
in active canvass for the position, but
the election this year promises to
bring out more active competition for
office.
Many opportunities are open for the
board to immortalize itself by initiating
reforms that lie within the function
and the interest of the board. MANY
Of the present beneficial changes in laws
and the activity against violation of
tn smoke ordinance may be traced to
the Minneapolis real estate board as a
source. Whoever is made president of
the board will find plenty of openings
| for the expenditure Of energy.
In Mr.. Thorpe's regime the board has
| had several pleasant junkets, including
the famous trips to Winnipeg and ia
/ Duluth, and the iron range. Several
pleasant luncheon meetings have been
held and the, reform movements that
have started at these gatherings have
been Important in their scope and re.
suits.

GILBERT GIVES ADVICE
Architect Has Ideas About the Schiller
Statue in Como Park.

= &. 4 =
Cass Gilbert, the architect, has writ
ten lengthy letter to the committee
having in charge the securing Of the
monument of Schiller to be placed on
the spot dedicated for its reception in
Como park. Mr.. Gilbert brings out the
point that the monument should be Of
for St. Paul, It is not SO essential that
it should be the work Of some st. Paul
artist as it is that it should be work
of art. He suggests that there are
probably four or five men who were
employed on the st. Louis fair work
who would be glad to submit sketches
OF the proposed statue and who are well
fitted to undertake such work.
