LONGS PONY UP A TREE
Further Results of the Storm at Medi-
cine Lodge.

Medicine Lodge, Kan, June 25.-
Complete reports from this place and
the surrounding country show that the
damage by the three tornadoes is much
greater than was believed at first. but
a money value estimate is impossible
al present. Telephone and telegraph
poles were blow down in rows. Every
business house in this place was I'M
rooted or the front was blown in. The
crops of many farmers were entirely
ruined.
A remarkable feature of the storm
was the manner in which Senator
Longs span of Shetland ponies were
carried away. The ponies were kept
in a barn together. The barn was
blown down and the ponies were not
found until last night One was two

found two miles almost due north in
the forks of a large cottonwood tree
on Elm creek. Neither pony was hurt.
The senator and his family are hold
ing a family jollification over the re-
coverey of the PONIES. The senator's
driving horse was not removed from
the place or injured.
Hundreds of head of stock were scat
tered and have not been found. Many
dead cattle are being found where the
storm blew them, in some instances far
from the places it picked them up. In
several instances cattle were landed in
trees and the bodies were taken down
today.
Eight miles southeast of the city
farmers lost everything within radius
of three miles. The hail, in addition to
wind. did great damage to crops. Many
hail stones measured eleven inches in
circumference.
J. c. Gano, a bus owner, had just re-
turned from the country before the
storm. He drove into the barn and
tied his horse without unhitching. The
barn was torn to pieces, the buggy de-

away. An unknown man was found

SEVEN KILLED.
RamshacI<Ie Story Building Col
Iapses During the Night.

New York, June 25.-Seven per-
sons, six of them members of one
Italian family, were killed early today
in the collapse Of ramshackle tene-
ment in the down town Italian quar-
ter. Three other members of the
same family, including the father and
mother are in a hospital, painfully in
jured but will recover. There were
some exciting scenes imm ediately
following the accident, one of which
was the rescue of an old man from a
two foot ledge, 40 feet from the
ground, this portion of the fallen
building having adhered to the ad-
jacent structure long enough to per-
nit the firemen to get to the scene,
raise q ladder and take the man,
Jacob Reigler. safely to the ground.
Then it also fell into the ruins.
The collapsed building was a four
story affair built over so years ago and
was located at the corner of Walker
and Lafayette streets. 1t belonged to
the Nose Taylor estate and for some
time has been in a dangerous condition
because of excavation for a new build
ing on the adjoining premises. 1t had
been shored up, but its weakened con-
dition caused it to fall in al 2 o'clock.
Most of the tenants. warned by omi-
nous creaking, fled few minutes before
it collapsed.

HAVE REDUCED
PRICE Of MEAT

A considerable drop In the wholesale
price OF meats has occurred In this yicin-
ity, so that the wholesale prices are at
this time lower than they have been for
year past.
IL is very unusual for such reduction
TO take place at this time OF the year.
reductions usually being made In the sum-
mer when IL is difficult TO keep meat
fresh. past summer however. there
was no reduction and one of the reasons
advanced at this time for the present re-
duction Is that the market is glutted now
with meat as the sales were poor last
summer owing TO the high prices which
were maintained. With large stock on
their hands. the wholesalers are forced
to dispose OF 1T at the best price obtain
able and the retailers are taking the full-
est advantages OF the circumstances,
many of them buying up a large stock
and relying on cold weather TO keep 1t
fresh.
Although as yet the reduction OF the
wholesalers has not effected the retail
prices in all stores, it has in many OF
them and within a week or 10 days IL is
thought that competition among the re-
tailers will bring the prices down mate
rally.
A few of the reductions are as follows:
The wholesale price of beef from steers
dropped from 101z cents 70 S12 cents per
pound; beef from cows dropped from
caused rib cuts to drop from 20 to IL
cents per pound in some retail stores.
while rump steak has dropped from "a to-
30 cents per pound, and porterhouse steak
from 32 TO 80.
Pork at wholesale fell from 1ils cents
per pound to 8 cents, and some retailers
have dropped the price of pork chops as
result from IS to IL cents per pound
Ham is also selling at 10 cents per pound
now. which is declared to be lower than
in years.
II is expected that pork may go trife
higher this week, however. but market
men declare that they are convinced that
beef will stay where II Is for while.
The retailers are now gloating over the
predicament of the wholesalers now and,
as noted above. are taking the fullest
advantage of the latter's distress and
stocking up with meat at the reduced
rate.
The retailers have felt that they had a
grievance against the wholesalers all
summer, as the high prices which were
maintained at that time, contrary to GUS
tom, made II very difficult to dispose OF
meat with the result that many retailers
had considerable amount spoil on their
1 hands.

consequences. 1t will cause sorrow to
many intelligent Catholics who have hoped
for better things from their loved com
munion But IL will be powerless To crush
inquiry, research and the progress of the
truth"
He declared that tho vast expansion OF
knowledge of modern times which II was
inevitable should profoundly affect re-
ligious thought, apparently had not in
fuenced Roman Catholicism at all until
the growing army of modernists became
large enough to attract the attention or
the papacy and draw down upon itself the
severest denunciation, in the two docu-
ments above referred to.

R. |. DEMOCRATS
ARE FOR BlyAA
FOR PRESIDENT

Judge Frank L. Fitzsimmons, chairman
of the Democratic state central commit
tee who met Col Bryan at New Haven
last week, said last evening that Rhode
Island Democrats might be expected TO
help the Bryan movement. II one was
started. to name him as the Democratic
candidate for president
Il cannot speak for the Democratic or
ganization in Rhode Island said Mr..
Fitzslmmons, "for the question of what
attitude the party in this state would take
toward the matter of a presidential can
didate has never yet been officially dis
cussed or considered. Speaking as an in
dividual and as one who entertains the
highest possible regard for Mr.. Bryan, IL
appears to me that the party in Rhode
Island looks with as much favor upon his
candidacy as upon that OF any other man
who has been mentioned.
"Our state convention for the election
of delegates to the presidential convention
will not take place until the forepart OF
next year, and I'm the meantime II Is, of
course. possible that there may be candi-
dates in the field toward whom the Rhode
Island Democrats might look with great
or favor AS the situation looks at the
present time. however unless such a
contingency does occur. see no reason
for believing that Rhode Island would not
be I'm line with the rest of New England
in favorlng the nomination OF Col.
Bryan"
Mr.. Fitzsmmons said that the delegates
10 the Democratic national convention
from this state usually go unlnstructed
for any candidate.
