CYCLONE AT A RACE TRACK-
Roof Lifted From the Bettinp Ring
of Overland Park at
Denver.
Saturday afternoon, which was the
closing of the two week's racing at
Denver, a minature cyclone struck the
betting ring at Overland park and lift-
ed the roof from its support, crashing
it down upon the crowd. At ti ret it
was thought that a number had lain
killed, but it was found that none were
in a dangerous condition, though eigh-
teen wete seriously hurt.
No other portion of the ground was
damaged l>y the wind. There was a
laige crowd in attendance at the races.
GRASSHOPPERS IN FRANCE.
IT IS GLENCO"E'\
Hunter \\ illiatns Proved to the
Post Office Department That
There was an "E" Attached.
Railway Trains Delayed by
Insects Massing 011 the
Rails.
the
France is having a grasshopper war
nt present and the southwest part of
the country is suffering a great deal.
The trains in that part of the country
last Wednesday evening were stopped
by enormous quantities of them heap-
ed on the rails. The engine crushed
insects which caused the wheels to
slide on the rails and sand was of no
benefit it) assisting the movement of
the engine.
Delays of trains have been numeroui.
The omission of a letter of the
i alphabet in the name of the city of
| Glencoe by the authorities ut Washing-
ton, will enable the postmaster there
to draw six months more salary than
! Uncle Sam intended when the commis-
sion was made out. The postoftice
authorities spelled the name "Glenco,"
and when the mistake was discovered
it was necessary to make a new com-
mission, which was dated 011 the day
of issuance, and Kditor Williams, of
the Mirror, who is the postmaster and
beneficiary, rejoices thereat thusly.
"The Mirror has at last won out in
its contention with the poitoflice de-
partment over the proper spelling of
the poatolHce name 'Glencoe.' It is
well known that the department gave
the office the name of 'Glenco,' with-
out the linal 'e. As soon as we pot
our commission wo went after the first
assistant postmaster general, nsking
that the orthography he corrected, and
that a new stamp be sent containing
the final 'e.' The request was refused
for the reason that Postmaster Mur-
phy's application, bond and commis-
sion was made out 'Glenco.1
"We then sent to the department
sonic railroad stationery, the heading
of our paper, and a map showing that
the proper name was 'Glencoe' and al-
so calling attention to the historical
•ignilloance of the name which it de-
sired to preserve through time and
eternity. The town takes the name of
the township, which has historical con-
nection w ith Glencoe, Scotland, a bear-
tiful pass in Argyshire, where, <111 the,
13th of February, ]«« !, occurred the
massacre of the McDonalds by 120 sol-
diers under Captain Campbell. I.ast
week the order came for a change to
Glencoe, which will be made at the be-
ginning of the quarter, July I. The
change necessitated a new commission
as postmaster, a new bond, new oaths
for the postoflice force and numerous
other red tape, but then we will have
the satisfaction of having it right here-
after. The postmaster alse gains six
niontns on his job as postmaster, as the
first commission was issued last De-
cember and tile new one.Tune 14,"
"If I were to give you an orange,"
said Judge Foote of Topeka, "I would
simply say 'I give you the orange,' but
should the transaction be entrusted to
a lawyer to put in writing, he would
adopt tnis form : 1 hereby give, grant
and convey to you all my interest,
right, title and advantage of and in
said orange, together with its rind,
skin, juice, pulp and pits ; and all riglila
and advantages therein, with full
power to bite, suck, or otherwise eat
the same, or give away, with or with-
out the rind, skin, jtiice, pulp or pits;
anything herein before or in any na-
ture or kind whatsoever to the contrary
in any wise notwithstanding."
This is the big week with an opera
company announced for a week's play
and minstrel show billed for tomor-
row night. Thursday, as a patriotic
class of people the day will be made
lively and the next day the debris will
be cleared away ready for more good
things and the doctors will be busy
calling upon the ones he found it nee-
essary to bandage the avening before.
COST OF THE PLAGUE.
Claims Amounting to 5,000,000
Filed for Burning of China-
town in Honolulu.
'be number of claims that willbe
presented to the court of commission-
ers appointed to adjudicate the claims
for damages resulting from the great
lire that destroyed Chinatown as a re-
sult of the burning of plague infected
buildings by the board of health, about
a year ago, is now estimated at 10,000.
The total amount of the claims will
probably reach 15,000,000. The Jap-
anese consul has 2,000 claims of" his
countrymen and the Chinese consul
has over 3,000 claims of Chinamen,
and there are many individual claims.
The bouse of representatives lias
passed and sent to the senate the sal-
aries appropriation bill, cutting the
governor's estimates for the period of
two years hy about IIiO,000. The cur-
rent expenses bill has been taken up
and heavy cuts are being made in all
departments.
I be senate s views differ in many re-
spects, however, and it is thought that
the legislature may fail to pass any ap-
propriation bill at all. Over half of
the time for the extra session has past,
and the houses have not yet reached
the stage of conference committees.
The grand jury called to investigate
the charges of bribery in the legisla-
ture has made its report to Circuit
Judge Gear. The jury reports that it
has found 110 evidence that there was
any bribery of members of tin; legisla-
ture.
