Wichita, May 27.~During a tornado
treat of Augusta eight farm residences
were demolished. Roofs were blown
off and crushed like eggshella. In
most instances only the top story was
blown from the houses, although each
is said to have been wrecked so as td
make it necessary that each be rebuilt
before they will again be suitable for
living purponex Hail and rain follow-
ed the twister, causing great damage
to growing crops. About the same
time Wichita had one of the heaviest
rains of the season, and in the south-
ern border of the city very large hail
atones fell.
Near Valley Center an orchard was
wiped out by another twister on that
border of the cyclone; also a big barn.
McPherson.—Another offshoot of the
cyclone, a tornado, swept over Mc-
Pherson county and destroyed many
farm houses and other property.
Lindsborg. —A tornado formed aorth
of McPherson and took a northward
course, striking .Lindsborg. The storm
appeared in the usual funnel ahape
and struck the town at the end of the
main street and followed the street
throngh the town, leaving toward the
northeaat. Fortunately the buildinga
of Bethany college were unmoleated.
The storm lasted about thirty min-
utes. The heaviest hail that the in-
habitants ever saw accompanied the
atorm, as well as a veritable water-
apout.
The Union Pacific depot was first
struck. It was completely demolished.
"The tents of the Van Am berg's circus,
which was showing there, were tom
In threads,'and several persons were
injured.
The roof of the Citizens' bank was
torn off. Suldstrom's large mercantile
store was unroofed and the stock de-
stroyed by the deluge of rain that
followed.
The residences of C. Nelson and E.
P. Lundstrom were destroyed but no
one was injured, though there were
some narrow escapes from death.
Salina.—A tornado unroofed build-
ings at Marquette and Falun.
A waterspout in this county caused
the streams to overflow. Missouri
Pacific trains leaving Salina were an-
nulled, owing to the tracks being un-
der water.
Florenoe.—A heavy rain and elec-
trical storm struck this place, lasting
two hours. Water was running in the
streets equal to a mill race. Thirty
out pf eighty-five telephones, belong-
ing to the Southwest Telephone Com-
pany, burned out.
Junction City.—Mote than an inch
of rain fell here in less than an hour.
It followed several days of warm,
dusty weather.
Guthrie, Ok.—A tornado struck two
■niles south of Onthrier doing much
<lamago to property, five farm houses
and many outbuildings having been
demolished. From the wind and hail
crow also suffered heavily. Stock also
suffered.
Grain Held For Chl
Liao Yang, May 36.—General Ma,
commander of the Chinese troops, is in
constant communication with Touli'
san, the chief of the Chinese bandits,
-who are adopting military organisa-
tion under Japanese instructors.
Toulisan's district is the granary of
Manchuria, lie is a great organizer
and built seven immense granaries,
which are strongly garrisoned. Toul-
isan ordered the inhabitants to bring
in their aurplus grain, forbidding
them to sell it to the Russians and or-
dering them to reserve the grain for
the Chinese armies whioh are coming
from the northwest.
Routed Russian Cavalry.
Tokio, May 34.—The Japanese forces
which landed at Takn-Shan surround
«d and routed a force of Russian cav-
alry In the neighborhood of Wang
Chei Tung, seven miles north of Taku
Shan. The Russian foroe which oon
alsted of about one squadron, lost many
men killed or wounded, as well as
captain, who wits captured. The Jap-

Mas I* Charter Fin.
Topeka. May S0.—Since the United
States supreme court has upheld the
decision of the Kanaaa supreme court
in the American Hook Company case,
involving the corporation act, the sec-
retary of the state is preparing to get
after many foreign corporations for
non-payment of licenses. Under the
law foreign corporations have to pay a
license fee equal to the charter fee of
a domestic corporation. In other
word a, the license feet of a foreign cor-
poration of 9100,000 capital would be
the same aa t he charter fee of a do-
domestic corporation of the aame capi-
tal. Many foreign companies doing
busineaa in the state before the law
waa passed claimed that the law waa
not retroactive and, therefore, they
would not have to take out a license.
The supreme court, in the American
Book Company ease, declared that all
foreign corporation* had to take out
licenses even if they were doing busi-
ness here before the law wss passed.
The book company tied up the matter
by appealing to the United States su-
preme court. That tribunal recently
upheld the deciaion of the atate su-
preme court. Now the secretary of
state will proceed to collect the license
from delinquent foreign corparationa.
A foreign lieenae is deprived of the
protection of the courts.
Will Invest Nn Mor«cn«e*.
New York, May *8 —Rlcardo Arh
and J. E. Morales, special commis-
sioners appointed by Panama to re-
ceive nine millions of dollars on
account of the canal concession, said it
is the purpose of the commission to
invest the money In first mortgage
bonds in New York or any other lo-
cality wherever obtainable.
Wind Destroys Fruit.
San Jose, Call., May 38.—The fruit
growers of the Santa Clara valley suf-
fered an almost incalculable loss from
high wind that at times blew almost a
hurricane. It is estimated that more
than one-half of the ripening cherry
crop is destroyed, and that from 20,
000,000 to 30,000,000 pounds of prunes
are on the ground.
To Prevent Rear-End Collisions.
A model illustrating a method of
averting a large class of railway acci-
dents that are knows as rear-end col-
lisions was exhibited a short time ago
In New York city.
On the track, SO foot from the ordi-
nary semaphore, is placed a dwarf
semaphore, whose movements are
made to correspond with those of the
other, whether the latter is cperated
by hand or electricity. From the side
of the locomotive projects downward
a rod of glass, in such a position thst
it will strike the dwsrf semsphore
when the signal Is set at danger. Con-
tact breaks the glass. The Immedtste
effect of this is to bring Into plsy In
the csb a stesm mechanism which
shuts the throttle, locks It. applies the
air brakes, and flnslly deposits sand
on the track. Only when the train
stops can the engineer unlock his
throttle. He must first adjust a fresh
glass rod in place of the broken one.
Thus an effective safeguard la provld
ed against running past a signal on
account of the sickness, death or care-
lessness of the engineer, or fog
smoke.
The apparatus is so designed that
if the engineer, having his wits about
him, and having his train under con-
trol, wishes to do so, he can prevent
the smashing of the glass rod. and
run slowly to the main semaphore.
To keep the rod from hitting the
dwarf semaphore, he touches
mechanism in the cab which shifts the
position of the "destructible member,
and saves it from Injury. When he
does so, however, a record of the time
is made automatically on an indicator,
so that he cannot play any tricks
without the fact being known.
Smallpox at Vancouver.
Washington, May 38.—United States
Consul Dudley at Vancouver has cabled
the state department that an epidemic
of smallpox is feared, that several
deaths from that disease have occurred
there and that conditions require the
severest sanitary supervision.
Splendid Horses.
Toklo, May 35. — Three splendid
horses captured at the Yalu battle by
Kuroki and presented to the emperor
were taken to the palace where they
were inspected. Two of them are
Russian bred and the other is an
Arabian.
Tbo Black Son Squadron.
Vienna, May 38.—It is reported here I
that Russia has obtained the consent
of Turkey for the passage through the
Dardanelles of the strong Black sea |
squadron, which Is in course of mobi-
lisation.
Each Spout Is s Hsndls.
To obviste this difficulty many s
hostess provides both in sufficient
quantity to meet \he wsnts of her
guests, necessitating the use of two
pots and two stands. Why not dis-
pense with this trouble and utilize the
combination tea and coffee pot which
has recently been designed by a
Pennsylvania inventor? As the Il-
lustration shows, It Is capable of pour-
ing a cup of either beverage on a
moment's notice, and that, too, with-
out burning the hand by contact with
either spout handle. As will be seen,
the two spouts, which also serve as
handles for the pot, are surrounded
by coils of wire, which prevent the
band from grasping the heated metal
when reversing the pot to pour a cup
of drink from the spout that has pre-
viously been used as the handle. The
pot is divided through the center by a
partition , which reaches from top to
bottom, and when it is not desired to
utilize it for brewing two beverages
at the same time one side can be
filled with hot water, for the double

jured and five hurt by an explosion of
boilers which totally destroyed the

THE MAN BEHIND THE GUN
A Collapsible Stretcher.
It has been said that Japan went to
war with China simply to secure the
discipline and training necessary for
the impending conflict with Russia,
which is but another example of
nation profiting by the motto, though
admittedly peculiar in the manner in
which it was carried out. But nations
are not alone in heeding this admoni-
tion. The inventor has taken It upon
himself at all times to strive for the
improvement and advancement of all
that goes to make war terrible, from
the ship-burning mirror of Archime-
des to the rapid-fire gun of the modern
inventor. But If war has been made
more horrible, the hospital equipment
has In a measure kept pace with It
from the humane point of view, un-
til the sick or wounded men can now
be properly cared for until claimed by
the grim reaper or restored to health,
with the chfinces more in favor of the
latter outcome than they were even a
few years ago.
In the matter of stretchers for carry-
ing the wounded from the field of bat-
tle the hospital corps may be inter-
ested in the Idea of a Swiss Inventor.
It consists principally of a set of lasy-
tongs, with a canvas cloth extending
from head to foot when the stretcher
Is extended. The handles by which
the carrier is lifted are attached to
the lower section of the folding
frame, serving to fold the stretcher
when they are turned down against
the legs and to extend it when in po-
sition to carry a wounded soldier off
the field.
