5& NINETEEN KILLED BY STORM. r? 1 Over One Hundred Injured, Latest f Report of Western Tornado. Kansas City, Mo., April 13.?Al though the weather is fair to-night throughout the tornado swept districts of Kansas, Oklahoma and western Missouri and northern Arkansas, c the major portion of the telephone and telegraph wires are still down, and only meagre reports of the death and destruction wrought by the storm yesterday are obtainable. It now appears that at least 19 persons were killed. Pour deaths are reported : from Meeker, Okla., and three from Plummerville, Ark., are of identified persons. The list of injured will number more tnan iuu. The monetary loss in Kansas alone is estimated to be in excess of $600,? 000. It is thought the damage in -other sections visited by the storm will bring the total to be more than $1,000,000. Of all the stricken cities Big Heart, Okla., suffered the greatest damage. ; Three people were killed there, 60 R1 injured, 38 fatally. Although injured in Big Heart they were taken to Tulsa on a relief train and they are now 'in hospitals there. Little of the town was left standing. Lawrence, Kan., sustained the largest property loss of any Kansas town, it being estimated at $200,000. Seventy-four residences were wrecked in the street lines, and electric lights were put out of commission. The city is still dark. In Brown county, Kan., the tornado destroyed more than $300,000 worth of property. The tornado swept a clean path 15 miles long and three-quarters of a mile wide in that section. Eskridge's loss is placed at $75,000. P Delightful Fish Fry. Olar April 14.?Our champion fisherman, Capt. W. K. Best, invited a few friends to join him in a Good Friday fish fry in Saltkehatchie river, "one of whom I was which." Now ft is said that "it is the gift of poetry I . to hallow the place in which it moves," so the writer concluded that he would write up an account of it j:> in poetry which would knock all the I . . spots out of anything any of your other correspondents would write, because mine would be poetry, and so I at first commenced this article thus: '.'On the banks of Saltkehatchie "Where the winds and waves " Just then I found that I could not not find any rhyme for Saltkehatchie, I and how the d-d-deuce can a fellow write poetry on a subject that he could find t no rhyme for, sp I just dropped down to common prose. " We put in for business about 3 o'clok in the afternoon, and by early dark we had all the fish necessary for a pine bark fry, and it was not my intention to be personal in this communication, but I must give some praise to Mr. G. E. Ritter for the fine fry and the very excellent red-horse bread that he made. There was a big quantity of each one of t&ese left and by common consent this was given to your scribe and the lady folks at my house are epicures and pronounced it just splendid. The writer often thinks of a remark that one of your prominent men of Bamberg who moved there from this section once made. It was this: "The Edisto fish are good, but nowhere that I have ever been have I found fish with "that fine flavor that the 'fish of Big Saltkehatchie have," and I agree with this gentleman. But - what a pity they didn't give the I stream a more poetic name. But I am not going back on our river at all. You know that the Indians had a tradition that whoever once earned & or drank in this stream should they ever he banished away, would return ^ or sigh to return to its banks again. This was said of Turkey Creek, and Turkey Creek is a tributary to Saltkehatchie. I am not a young man any more, and remember very well when our own George Harrod, and Ealy Williams and others were forced to leave her borders, but they all returned again, only for a few -days, at the risk of their lives. y I intended to mention earlier that our little party went down this stream from historic old Jtivers' bridge about three miles. We then came to a high and dry island, quite jC favorable for a camp. We found plenty of dead, dry wood among the ? beech trees, and we had such a good fire till some of the party wanted to *? spend all the night, but the majority ft ruled and we all arrived safely home in the "wee small hours." The weather was very kind to us, for although it threatened to rain it f. didn't, and the moon shone brightly, and we joked lightly and mocked the owls when they hooted and sang "the lone starry hours" and other familiar and appropriate songs and we kg' all felt that we were good friends and that there was some things that ft' made this little wooden world worth living in after all, even if we haven't got any rhymes for our streams. Now I never could find a rhyme for | jff 1*. r 1 WILL WITHDRAW CONSTABLES What Blease Will Do if Dry Countie Won't Pay. Columbia, April 13.?Gov.

Fifty Years of Great Achievement.

Wyman, and others, composing the board of health of f the city of Aiken, T. G. Croft and 1 Mrs. E. C. Legare." This case came 5 as a result of an injunction secured 8 temporarily several weeks ago to forbid the board of health or city coun? cil from destroying by fire or other 8 "wise the house formerly occupied by Miss Kirk, the alleged leper, who died some time ago. The parties consented that the tems> porary order should be continued ti until a final adjudication of the quese tions concerned in the temporary or[' der, principally the same as were brought up when the case of Miss s Kirk was in the courts, namely, that > the form of leprosy from which Miss = Kirk suffered was not malignant, etc. Do Ghosts Haunt Swamps?
