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

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

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,
