Franklin, Neb., June 1.-Two large cyclones passed just east of this place about one hour apart, causing one death and doing great damage to property. Henry Madison, young man, who was returning home from storm and killed instantly. Three of the Tucker family were badly hurt It seems that the cyclone cellars saved the lives of large numbers. the houses being completely torn to pieces and cellars uninjured. Probably twenty houses within five miles of town are completely wrecked. Some of the peo- pie have come to town for shelter, los ing everything they had. A large amount of livestock was killed. Both storms travelled northeast and caused much excitement here, as both storms appeared to be headed toward the town. A 40-foot bridge east of town was torn out by the wind. The grow ing crops were injured All telephone wires are down and a full report is unobtainable at present.
 Near the town of Jansen, east of this city, a fatality is reported. Jo- seph Flaming, farmer, was aroused at 4 o'clock Friday morning and found flood waters of Cub creek flowing into his house Flaming and his family fled on horseback, the father leading the animal, while his wife and two children clung to it's back.

HARDEN CASE DYING.
German Editor May Not Be Retried
 Witness Disappears.

Berlin, June 6.-What is believed to be the utter collapse of the retrial of M. Harden, the German editor, charged with libel by Count Cuno von Moltke, is foreshadowed in the disappearance of Count Edgar Wedel. a court chamberlain of the late Elm press Victoria. Wedel was counted on as a strong witness for Count Philip Zu Gutenberg in the perjury trial that awaits him, growing out of his testi- mony at the first Harden trial.
 The fact that Wedel has found f convenient to take himself to parts un- known, is said to be due to his fear at going through another trial. owing to the changed state of public opin- ion. Other witnesses are considering the advisability of similar courses.

May Have Been Tool.

Some do not hesitate to express the opinion that he may have been the tool of little clan of Royalists. who, under the name of LAction Francase, have never ceased to insist that the court of cessation illegally prevented an appeal of the Dreyfus case. nor abandoned hope of seeing revision favorable to the contentious of the nationalists.
 By the shooting of Dreyfus, they point out. the whole affair may be in. directly opened before July because assassinations or attempted assassina. tions must come before the assize court for trial. Some color is lent 10 this theory by a series of remark. able articles that appeared in Thurs, day mornings L'Action Franchise from the pens of Charles Maurras and Leon Daudet, son of the poet, who are the leading spirits among the roy. alist supporters of the restoration of Philippe of Orleans.
