At this writing, June 5th, we note the fifth anniversary of the great cyclone, ruin ami hail storm which visited this section and did so much damage throughout ttie town and ountry. One life was lost in Loup City, that heiug the little girl of Joseph McCoy, which was drowned in a cave where the family had t iki n shelter from the storm, it being a! most instantly tilled with water an I which rushed like a torrent down li e valley. At that time the Catholic church was demolished and the large Baptist church was partly moved from its foundation. Barns were destroyed, ami fruit and forest trees badly damaged. The storm struck us about, 7 o'clock p. tn. and lasted with great fury for about an hour and fifteen minutes and our people became greatly excited, near ly all seeking refuge in cyclone caves or cellars. I t was by far the worst ever recorded here since the settlement of the country. Nearly ' every residence in town was more or leas damaged and hundreds of window lights were smashed in.gla1-* fronts were shattered and sidewalks were swept away. It was estimated that fifteen inches of water fell and the hail banked up in places to a depth of two and three feet and < n Oak Crc-ek where the swift current lodged it in the bend of the creek, it was twelfe feet deep and hail coukl be seen there two weeks after. The European continental troo[ s in China, seem to be constantly on the lookout for trouble. About two weeks ago a German ollicer made a victous attack on an American guard, because the guard refused to disobey orders, and was only stopped by the Yankee charging him with his bayonet and taking a shot at him, which luckily missed, but wounded a German soldier a quarter of a mile away. Last week a party of French soldiers attack the English guards and were reinforced by German sol diers. A regular battle ensued, in which several were killed and a number wounded. Just what the end would have been is hard to pre did, had not some German and French officers heard ttie filing and hurried to the scene and stopped tl.e trouble. The continent seems to have it in for John Bull and Uncle Sam. If reports can be depended i p on Germany is going out of ler way to pick a quarrel with Uicle Sam, which may some day be a source of regret to the Kaiseraud his people. Our minister Loomis was virtually requested to return home from his post in Venezuela sumo months ago because he was a little to officious to suit all parties in a deal wherein German citizens would acquire some territory by purchase, which belongs to the South America Republic and w'hieh would at ouce pass under the German Hag. Mr. Loomis protested on the grounds of the Monroe doctiine which placed him in disfavor with Venezuela. Now comes the Danish West Indies episode in which Germany tries to acquire a little group of Islands near our shore, which has proved a source of considerable expense to Denmark each year, and which could not be desired by Germany for any legitimate purpose as they are of no value The l . S. govern ment has long been negotiating for them just to keep pace with Huropc and now has closed a contract, which is only waiting confirmation bv Congress next winter to pay that country $1,000,000 for the Islands. This is another purchase for peace by the United States, as the Islands nre of no use to us, and brings up to our mem >rv incidents of the P‘is„ Before our war of 181-' "ith great Britain the papers of that cui.iii said that Kngland bad been H'l for years to pick a quarrel widi oi United States, but could not kick us J into b war.

The following associated press dispatch regarding Mrs. McKinley's condition appeared in Tuesday’s Hu : Washington, June d—l>r. HiXey, after remaining in the White Houm for nearly three hours tonight, said that there had been no change in the condition of Mrs. McKinley. At 11 o’clock she was resting comfort ably. The complaint which mani rested itself while Mrs. M- Kinlt y was away from Washington ui u which had so seriously sapped lor strength, has been checked, but its effect has been to leave Ik r in a very weak condition. J)rs. Kixcv, Stern beig and Johnston were joined by I>r. Osier of Baltimore in consulta tion and report that Mrs. McKinleTs condition is as favorable as could be expected. There is no immediate apprehension and a slow improve ment is looaed for. The postmaster of a little town m Nebraska—one with less than 50l) inhabitants—says that the money order business at Ids olllce for tv o Chicago mail order houses runs close to $1,000 a year; £1,000 from one little Nebraska town.

It is the constant himmeritig away ou the anvil of advertising.—Ex Here is ar other tcmeprance atoiv, ■ ml a true one: In a certain Ni l. rasku town tin ce was a man who at Ordinary times, was a good citizen, a g lod husband, and an ad«uir.tb'e t>arent. lie was an excellent vvoik man at his trade, and always com manded good wages. At ordinary times ho was a most agreeable man, genial and acommodating; but iv ory once in a while he went on a high lonesome, and as soon as he touches the flowing bowl his whole nature seemed reversed. lie w s brutal to his family, and a nuismen to the neighborhood; he was a ven powerful man, and when on a bend er was quarrelsome to the last k gree, aud became a terror to tie community at turns. He was such a pleasant fellow when sober that llie neighbors excused a whole lit of his looliahne-s; but his sprees be came more fnquent, and he became more of a nuisance, and the patience iof the people became exhausted. He sobered up afti-r a jamboree the other day, and received a letter giving him twenty-four hour* to leave ihe town. He realized that the people who sent the letter meant business, aud he packed up and left, s u ntie Dg * good posilh u, and also liis home, which represented the savings and management <>f a good wife for years This true little story won’t be ready for a moral until the uiae has £' lie to the bow wows en liielv, which be will ;.pced.tv do; for when a drinking man looses hi* giip he looses 11 altogether —V* ah M t-on in Kveriing News.
