KILLED IN THEIR BEDS.
rwenty.Four Persons Perish By Mldn shi
Tornado.

Marquette, Kan, Especially Twenty
four persons are known to have been
killed and over IS were injured IN a
tornado, the most disastrous in the his
tory of Central Kansas, which swept
over this portion of the State at mid
night. One large section of Marquette,
where the principal loss of life occurred,
was entirely wiped out.
Reports from the surrounding country
show that the destruction to life and
property was widespread, and the list
of dead and injured is growing constant
ly.
A storeroom belonging to Olaf Olson,
a furniture dealer, has been converted
into temporary morgue, and at $50
"a dead bodies had been brought in.
Following the storm the utmost con-
fusion prevailed, and it will sc some
time before the actual extent OF the
storm is known
When daylight broke over the town
it found the entire population IN state
of panic. Business was entirely suspend
ed and everyone who escaped injury
turned his attention toward aiding the
wounded.
The tornado seems to have formed
three miles south of Marquette and did
not spend its force until it had passed
many miles north of the town. In
Marquette the residence portion west o
the main street suffered the principal
| damage. The houses in the course OF
the tornado were all with two or three
exceptions completely wrecked. In this
section there was a number of modern
residences, of which only one, the home
of R. A. Thompson, was left standing.
The Swedish, Lutheran and Methodist
Churches were among the ,,rst buildings
struck, and they, together with the par
sonage adjoining the Methodist Church,
were demolished.
The afternoon was hot and oppres-
sive. Late in the evening =. terrific
rainstorm broke over the town. The
rain continued to fall in torrents until
midnight when the tornado struck:
Within less than five minutes 1t had
wrought its terrible work and passed
on. Telegraph and telephone wires were
| carried down and it was several hours
| before the outside world could be ap-
prised of the plight of the city.
1t was not until o'clock that physl-
clans and surgeons began arriving from
surrounding towns. In the meantime
dozens of volunteers set to work to
clear away the debris and extricate the
dead and injured. The Swedish Lutf-
eran parsonage and several private resi-
dences were turned into temporary hos
pitfalls. The dead were taken to a store
room nearby
In one room in. the Lutheran parson-
age the pastor found six injured, and in
an adjoining room were five bodies OF
persons who had died from injuries at
ter they had been brought in. In hall
a dozen other houses similar conditions
were found DR.. Lund, the Lutheran
pastor, passed among the suffering, min
istering to their comfort, while thirty
or forty other persons, working under
his direction, cared for the injured at
other points.
There were many narrow escapes from
, death. The infant daughter OF Charles
Sailen was lifted in her bed and carried
to the middle of the street, receiving only
a few scratches Salen and his wife
were seriously injured.

SECRETARY MORTON'S PLANS.
He Is Likely to Leave the Cabinet Before
the Fall.

Washington, d. c. Especially Sec

that he expects to leave the Cabinet
before the cold weather comes again
He expects to go back TO his old place
with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa

before entering the Cabinet has not been
filled since he resigned.
1t is thought here that MIR. Morton,
about the Ist of July, will find it con-
venent to retire, and some say he would
go before that time, except for the rea-
son that the newly appointed Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, MIR. Newberry,
who succeeds Mr.. Darling, has not taken
office yet, and it is desired that he be-
come acquainted with the duties before

until complete revolution had oc-
CURED in the government Of France.
The unfortunate Louis had no one
upon whom to lean. The czar has
thousands of troops 20 protect him; he
has brave officers to lead them, and
also many machine guns to turn against
9 revolving populace.
The Russian Bastille is called the
Fortress Of st. Peter and Paul, and it
still stands frowning from it's position
on the Neva. Farther down the river
the strikers are again busy at their
daily toll. Father Gopon is in exile
and Maxim Gorky lies in one of the
easements of the Fortress.
However much we sympathize with
the Russian people we must not mis-
judge the present crisis in that country.
The czar is not competent, but the
Grand Dukes are and have the situa-
tion we'll in hand. At no time was the
autocracy in danger. The army did
and will for the present come to the
aid of the government. The revolution
has good start in Russia, and the
peculiarities of popular discomfort that
marked the rise of the French Revolu-
tion are apparent. There have been
eight famines in Russia since 1902
which has caused great deal of suf-
fering among the peasantry. A foreign
war has taken many from the field of
productivity and consequently inn
poverished the lives of great number.
Last harvest in some districts there
was total failure of crops. The
peasantry in these localities are this
winter starving and next spring those
that survive will not be in proper con-
dltion, physically, to work their land.
The soldiers who return from Man
churia will spread discentsnt BY their
tales Of suffering in the war. The
news of the rioting in the cities will be
carried far and consequently disaffect
the peasantry. The autocracy is b0r-
rowing money as fast as the foreign
money markets will take up the loans.
Going in debt to pay debts. This is
the same policy the ministers of Louis
XVI. pursued to disastrous end.
Press dispatches now say that the
czar is going to call the ancient land
parliament together. Louis XVI. called
the states general in session and
from this body came the men who led
the French Revolution to success

favor to vice; it is admitting princi-
pie which, if allowed, would ruin all
business life. II there is one thing no.
ticeable in all successful concerns 1t
is that incorporating severity is
shown to even trifling errors-even to
carelessness.
"My business has hitherto been sue
cessful," said Mr.. Jameson, "and I
have never gone 'on that principle,
and never will. Why, are we to have a
law Of mercy and rigidly to exclude it
from everyday life? But that is the

Open the door of your heart, my lad,
To the angels of love and truth;
When the world is full of unnumbered joys
In the beautiful dawn of youth.
Casting aside all things that mar,
Saying to wrong, "Depart!"
Tothe voices of hope that are calling you
Open the door of your heart.
Open the door of your heart my lass,
To the things that shall abide;
To the holy thoughts that lift your soul
Like the stars at eventide.
All of the fadeless flowers that bloom
In the realms of song and art
Are yours, if you'll only give them room.
Open the door of your heart.
Open the door of your heart, my friend,
Needless of class or creed,
When you hear the cry of a brothers voice,
The sob of child in need.
To the shining heaven that DER you bends
You need no map or chart,
But only the love the master gave,
Open the door of your heart.

''WBY.'

There is curious game called "why."
To play it wise men vainly try,
We start it at our very birth
Nor quit it till we leave this earth.
When first the sun makes glad the eye
We blink and wall and wonder why"
What is the secret of success? lf
Fen they who have it blindly guess.
Why do the winds flow softly by?
Why are the flowers, fresh and sweet,
Scattered profusely at our feet?
Why is it that mere gold can buy
The good that toll will oft deny?
We strive to solve and strive in vain
The secrets of life's joy and pain;
We love, we lose, we laugh, we cry
IT'S all in the great game of ''why!"

ter Infinite labor and pains succeeded
in restoring it to its rightful owner in
far away southern island. 1t was,
after all, quite natural that he should
suspect the man who had colored so
deeply, who protested SO Indignantly
against the mere suspicion of guilt,
who clearly shrank from the idea of
being searched.
81 will examine you first," said the
detective; and Ole, seeing there was no
help for it, submitted to the indignity.
For an instant even Mr.. Morgan was
shaken in his opinion; there was such
an evident consciousness of innocence
in the Norwegian's whole manner and
bearing now that the ordeal had really
begun.
In solemn silence two pockets were
turned inside out. The left hand waist
coat pocket was apparently empty, but
the careful detective turned that inside
out too. Suddenly Mr.. M cried vehe-
mently, 81 told you So" And Ole,
reused to take notice, which before he
had not condescended to do, looked
down and saw sight that made his
heart stand still. Carefully pinned to
the inside of the pocket was clean,
fresh, five hundred kroner note. He
did not speak word, but just
stared at the thing in blank amaze
ment. There was a painful silence.
Surely it could be nothing but bad
dream.

1HREE important facts were de-
veloped during the recent
strikes of workingmen in the
cities of European Russia.
First, that the czar was not competent
to meet the situation. Second, that
the autocracy will not tolerate public
expression of the grievances of the
people and will use the army to main
tain its position. Third, that the peo-
pie of all classes in Russia are at
present incapable of an organized re-
volt against the existing government.
Nicholas II. is not any stronger at
the kingship than was Louis XVI. of
France, but he has strong men to sup
port his weak hand in the present crisis.
Perhaps it is part of the crafty policy
of the autocracy to retire the czar into
the background and give the mobiles the
reigns of government This would
make Nicholas appear as the swell in
tentioned young man." completely

kindly undertake to restore order
within his empire. The autocracy is

the mobs of strikers in the cities. The
soldiers 'blindly obeyed their officers
and shot down without hesitation all
those who did not Immediately disband.
The imperial army is loyal to the
autocracy. The royal army quartered
in Paris or it's immediate vicinity in
1889, was in sympathy with the Revo-
lutionists. The people of Russia are
not acquainted with the political ideas
embodied in a constitutional form of
government. The people of France
were educated upon this subject for
thirty years before the Revolution by
hundreds of pamphleteers and popular
writers. The French Revolution was
of gradual growth and not the event
of few years of agitation among the
masses by society of Revolutionists
In 176O the French people were dis.
contented; in ITO the educated people
openly opposed the king and court
Ten years later the masses were in 9

aristocracy and it was nine years more

which were armed. The Bastille wal
