WIND STORM
STRUCK PARSONS


Kansas City Mo-, May 11.--Wind of
hurricane proportions and rain
amounting to almost cloudbursts, in
places, swept over Kansas yesterday
evening, wrecking houses at Parsons,
stopping a Santa Fe passenger train
near Great Bend, and playing havoc
with telephone and telegraph wires
The worst damage reported up to mid
night was at Parsons.
Only one telephone wire is working
out of Parsons, that to Fort Scott. All
telegraph wires, with the exception of
few local railroad lines. are out of
commission, and the electric light and
power wires in the tewn were left a
tangled mass. The city spent the
night in darkness, with not street
car running, long distance telephone
message said.
Several buildings were unroofed, in
cluding the new high school, the art
and bookstore of J. NJ Mcknight and
the printing establishment of P. d.
Foley Many residences were damag-
ed. A downpour that made small
rivers of the streets accompanied the
big blow, the worst in the history Of
Parsons.

Blown Through Windows.

Mr. and Mrs Mcknight were stand
ing near the front of their store when
the storm hit. The roof of the build
ing was carried away with the first
breath of the hurricane, timbers fall
ing in, wrecking the interior Then
the back end of the building collapsed
inward. With it came terrible sweep
of the wind that sent Mr.. and Mrs
Mcknight through the front windows
into the street, now running deep with
water Mr.. Mcknight was unhurt His
wife was bruised and cut by the glass
which fell around them. She is not
fatally injureS
The Foley printing establishment
was damaged about $1,000, the root
being torn off and the interior dam
aged.
The electric light and street car
company's wires were broken down
and wrapped about each other until II
was dangerous 10 get W1tnin seeing
distance of poles. The electricity was
cut off and it may take most of tomor-
row to have cars running again
Rumor of Death.
1t was rumored in Parsons that a
man had been killed in the wreckage
of his home a few miles southwest of
Parsons ON a farm. but the wires were
down in the country and the mans
name could not be learned
The black night, with the probability
OF bridges being down, prevented a
trip into the country The sto. n struck
Parsons about > o'clock. Passengers
on Frisco trains from the southwest
reported buildings wrecked and heavy
rains towards Oklahoma.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. j
LONDON. May 23.-Advices today
from Budapest say that the situation
arising from the election Of Count
Tisza as president Of the lower house
to succeed L. Navay, who resigned
because of a clash with party leaders,
is becoming more serious, that several
persons have been killed and at least
"a dozen wounded in a battle between
the socialists and the soldiers. Count
Tisza is an opponent of universal
suffrage and following his election
yesterday the socialists and advocates
of universal suffrage started fighting.
Attaches of the chamber removed the
ink wells and other articles that could
be used as weapons yesterday and the
entire opposition party deserted the
chamber.
Today the opposite members return

All the cavalrymen at the front will

A Fine Art.

fectfons. and with them it became a.
fine art.
But with all their gallantrw their
suited phrases, their long winded and
verbose love making, they succeeded no
better than the man Of today who de-
clares his love in six words over the
