Bi.air, Neb.. June 14.—Ono of tha
worst storms that ever visitsd this sec
tion of the state dropped down upon the
little town of Herman, located 10 miles
north of here, last night. For some two
hours before the storm took a disastrous
form, the clouds were of a threatening
color, and the air was hot and sultry. At
6 o'clock the storm seemed more threat
ening and the p ople were on their
guard.
At 0:15 it was observed that the wind
was blowing from the northwest and
from the southwest and with increasing
violence. At K:30 it took the funnel-
shaped appearance and bore down upon
the town. The first damage done was
about 4 miles west of Herman at tho
Hawkins farm. Mr. Hawkins is dead
and bis barns and outbuildings are in a
mass of ruins. In the village of Her
man few buildings are left standing.
Tho business portion and the residences
are piled up in a heap. That any es
caped is miraculous.
The bank owned and operated by
Representative J. H Chambers is a
mass of ruins. It was a substantial
brick. His homo, au elegant frame, es
caped.
Near the depot is a pile of rubbish
containing everything, from a pair of
boots to dead and wounded horses, hogs,
cattle, etc.
Two special trains have beau sent up
from hero and the wounded are beinif
cared for at the Clifton hotel. The
closest estimate u that eight are killed
and 50 wounded.

Atlanta, June 14.—Au editorial in
tho last number of The Saturday Re

has attracted much attention and caused
considerable comment. It bears upon
tho race question, and more particularly
upon tho arming of white women, and
says in part;
“Georgia club women, who are boa-
ost in their wish to help their less for
tunate “isters, should petition the com
missioners iu each county to provide
every country woman, who has none,
with a pistol. The petition should also
embody a request that a body of rural
police be organized in every county lor

“It is oartaJQ that every member ol

Am- rieu iu tlmw to uss the U»i atan twr-
p«d > boat which hud bean christened
th* Burners After nil preparations had
been mads I haste/ied to Hamburg,
hoping to catch the Sotuns somewhere j
iu the North sea catml, but off my ar- <
rival at Hamburg I found that ahu had 1
passed through tho canal early that |
morning and was now on the North sea [
on her way to England. It was not uu- !
til more than a week lator, when 1 ;
sailed into the port of Weymouth, Eng- 1
land, on hoard the United States steam
er Topeka, that I succeeded iu getting
her signal flags aboard her. Captain |
Knapp told mo that from the month of i
the Elbe to Weymouth he had had a |
very rough trip, but he had made it in j
three days, averaging 12 knots an hour, j
which was as much ns any torpedo boat
of her size could have made under sim
ilar circumstances.
When he arrived in Weymouth, he |
caused an inspection to bo made, which |
allowed that the Burners bad not leaked
a drop, in spite of her rough handling,
and. considering the weather slut was
out in, he believed her to be a very
comfortable boat.
At Weymouth an English crew was
put aboard the Somers, and Captain
Ponst and the Germans were paid off
and sent home.
Tho Englishmen were evidently afraid
of her, for every time they put to sea
in her they declared that she was leak
ing. Twice she was put Work into port
cn account of these reports, and each
time little or nothing was foupd to bo
the matter The third attempt to get
her to sea in company with tho Topeka
succeeded in getting her us far us Fal
mouth, where wo put in because the j
j Somers had made signal that she was
j sinking. This report was found to be u«
I groundless as the two previous ones,
j There was, however, a very slight leak
j about the submerged torpedo tube, and j
j her crew, now thoroughly demoralized, j
absolutely refused to go to sea unless j
she was drydocked and inspected by
; an agent of Lloyd’s,
j ll being utterly impossible to engage !
| a new crew for her at Falmouth, Cap
tain Knapp was obliged to yield to their
demands and arranged to have her dry-
docked.
As she was being put into the docks
—whether by accident or design cannot
be proved—her sailing master ran her,
head on, into a stone pier, which caused
such- serious damage as w ithout doubt
to require bar to remain iu drydock
for repairs at least ten days.
This was on April 19, and as wo were
erne that war would lie declared in a
few days nt tho furthest wo were
obliged to tall aWay in tho Topeka
without her. The day after war wap
declared the English cMptaiff of tho port
called upon tho officer In command of
the Boincxs and told btfo that Great
i Britain, under iter proclamation of
! neutrality, must roqneft him to ifo Uj
sen in 24 hours, anti if he were unable
to do so tho English government would
bo obliged to detain tho Burners in port
during the continuance of tho war.
And so, after all our trouble and ex
pense, one of our torpedo boats was left
in Falmouth harbor, of no mere uso to |
us in our war with Spain than if sha |
had remained No. 420 at tho Behichau
Works in Eibing.

A correspondent of a London paper
asserts that no fatal results may be

but have witnessed its complete success

There is something very remarkable
in the almost reasoning powers mani
fested occasionally by birds in clndiuR
pursuit or in turning Htlcntion from
(licit nests and young, but in few is
thin more uolict-uhlo than in tho duck
tribes. In Captain Black’s narrative of
iiiH arctic bind cxptdition the following
instance of this is given:
Ono of his companions, Mr. King,
having shot n female duck, fired a£ain
and, us ho tboeght, disabled its male
companion. Accordingly, leaving Ihe
dead bird, which ho hud tbo mortifica
tion of seeing shoitly afterward carried
off by ono of Uio white headed eagles,
ho wddod into tho water after tho drake,
which, far from being fluttered or
alarmed, remained motionless, as ii
waiting to bp taken up. Still, as ho
uuured it, it glided easily away through
innumerable little nooks and windings.
Several times he reached out bis hand
to seize it, and, having at la. c t with
j great patience managed to coop it up
j in a corner, from which (bore appeared
, to be no escape, ho was twumphuntly
i bdfidiug down to tako it when, to his
i utter astonishment, it looked around at
him, cried “C^uack!” and then flew
! away so strongly that he was convinced
ho had never hit it at all. Tho bird’s
object clearly was to draw the gunner
away from its companion.

that tho peoplo there are tlie Lest to be

Frlok'a Rise to WvaiMi.
Thirty years ago Henry (J. Frick was
a poor bookkevpwr iu a flour mill iu
Fayette county, Pa. Lie made his start
in business by tbo purchase of a small
interest in a coal mine near bis home.
Tho business grew steadily. In 187»,
at the tiumof tho panic, ho was only
24 years om. The panic enabled him to
acquire the whole plant, and thou he
began to spread. He bought everything
he could in the way of ooal land, and
when tho reaction came he found him
self enormously wealthy.
At 40 he was master of the coal
trade. In 1878 lie took in a partner, i£
M. Ferguson, and after that, in 18^2.
the Frick (Joke company was organized
Andrew Carnegie then became asso
ciated with Mr. Frick in Hie coal and
coke business, and for many years the
two have worked together. Mr. Frick
is only 5 feet 4 inches tall, blond and
slight. He is affable and generous and
has great capacity for work and ergani-
zation.
He “I'lnined.”
A noted preacher is said to have been
iu the habit cf Milling on an ignorant
but devout servant girl to read to her
ills sermons before presenting tlrom to
his congregation. Her “Measg, sir,
plain it a little,’’ as tho reading pro
ceeded, was a MdthAbm that wms always
heeded.
