The Central House was strewn over several acres. Your cor respondent was is the latter build ing but was only slightly injared. Two or three persons are expected to die but the greatest wonder is ex pressed by every oe that no one was killed outright. Among the traveling men at the hotel was Mr. Leiter, of Max Meyer & Bro., but he was only slightly injured. One building, the agricultural implement store of John son & Everson, was carried entirely away so that not a board can be found. Mrs. Wm. Nye ii now dying. Over twenty buildings, exclusive of stores, are gone. The scene cannot be de scribed. It was appalling beyond be lief.

The charity of the public is needed and contributions for the homeless sufferers would be gratefully received. The Stanton County offi cials will act in this behalf. Special Dispatch to the Bee. Madison, Neb , Sept. 29. A terrific rain and wind storm passed over this town about 1 o clockvthis morning in a northeasterly direction, doing great damage to property and injuring sev eral persons severely. One child of Olen Freine was killed outright, and one child of Mr. Coneoa was kUled and another badly injured. About twenty-five or thirty buildings were totally destroyed and many others badly damtged. The Presbyterian church, Union Pacifc- depot, Gross Bros . store and several ethers were blown to pieces.

LiAiiETTK Co., Kansas, lfeSl. Dear Nephew: Learning that you are an advocate of that Godly doctrine of "Total Abstinence" and iu a legitl point of view are in favor of prohibi tion, and as I have for years practiced the one aud advocated the other, and having had something to do with making tho law which carries intw effect the amendment to our constitu tion which forever prohibits the man ufacture and sale of intoxicating liq uor except for ruccliaiiic.il, medical and scientific purposes, I concluded to write you the effect and progress m.ide in that direction. It is asserted both in Kansas and oit of Kansas that there is as much liquor sold in Kansas now as there was before the law took effect. This assertion is false.; it is the emanation of evil wishes and only comes from those whose "wish is father to the thought." Prohibition in Kansas is a success, Assortment off to STORE. Nebraska. a complete success. I have been the county attorney of my county for eight years and have had many prose cutions for the violation of the "Old Dram Shop Act" which was the law regulating the sale of liquor before the present law took effect. I have I had hundreds of cases on our criminal docket out of which the largest pro portion found their way through the saloons either directly or indirectly . I have had on our criminal docket as high as sixty-six criminal cases at one term of our court and three fourths of them grew out of the use of intoxicating drinks. Since the taking effect of the present prohibi tion law, from three to five cttses on the criminal calender at each term is the average. There are in our county three cities of the second class, where heretofore a police force was necessa ry to keep order on account of intem perance, and now there is not a sin gle policeman needed and the city marshals and poiicfc Judges are starv ing for want of business. 1 find many families within my ex tended acquaintance over tins large and populous county (the fourth in size and number in the state) who are now prospering and the children are better clad and the fathers are now in dustrious aud can generally be found at home on his farm hard at work, earning an honest and honorable liv ing for hi3 family, and a pleasant smile beams from the countenance of the dear wife all this since the adop tion of the prohibitory liquor law, whereas before, the parent and hus band spent his time and money at the saloons, and his poor heart broken wife and barefooted children were at home suffering for the most common rude necessaries of life. We see great and manifold blessings emanating from this law, and Kansas, which ins always been in the advance of all other states, is proud that she has Miade the law a success. This law offers inducements to the better element of society in other states to come with their families ad join us in our enjoyment of so good a law ; to come where their boys cannot be led away . into vice and crime through the doors of the hell deserving saloons; where then girls can grow to womanhood and not be compelled to associate with that class of young men who frequent sa loons and who are creating for them selves an appetite for ardent spirits, that in riper years will lead them to drunkenness, misery and want. Tis true we lose a few of our citi zens on account of this law but we can welt spare the class that is going, and instead we are receiving as citi zens good suostantial men and women who say they are coming to Kansas on account of the prohibitory law. That class that leave us will throng our neighbor states and soon your so ciety will show their work and you will as a matter of self protection adopt this same law to rid your state of your own bad men as well as those that have left this country for the countiy's good. I am indeed proud to know that there are others of my name, and that are connected to m by the laws of consanguinity who are advocates of the Temperance movement. 'I ain proud to learn that you are a zealous worker in this cause, and my admoni" i. yon be. be determined never to "let up" until you have inaugurated a complete revolution and have en grafted into your organic law a clause that will fwrever prohibit the selling out of damnation to your fellow men.

He says he has re ceived a telegram from District At torney Corkhill legauling the defame of Guiteau, and that he has decided to reply by teiegraph to day. saying that lie will act as Guiteau's counsel. Sco ville would prefer to It-ave the matter with the United S ates government to appoint counsel, but as his wife is Guiteau's nearest relative, and about his only frw-nd on earth, he will take the case tin re oi her account than Guiteau's. Scoville says he will be in Washington in time to plead. lie does not anticipate a speedy trial. He says the defense will be insanity.

The yard is kept in the very best order, the trees aud lawn beiug nicely cut and trim rued. The house for some time has been under the charge of an old sol dier who served under Grant during the late unpleasantness, aud with the assistance of tho worthy fellow's wife, everything about the establishment is kept iu the very best order. Some of the furniture has been taken away and is stored at Long Branch, but many of the presents presented to the General and His wife during their tour around the world, are still to be seen at their Galena residence, including elegant paintings, valuable and very rich chiua aud majolica crockery. His li brary is still here, and is a very valu able one, embracing a choice library of books on historical, scientific and art subjects, a well as a good assorted va riety of works ot fiction aud poetry. Many presents given him while in China, Japan and other foreign coun tries are in Philadelphia, in the care of George W. Childs, and perhaps his numerous and costly gifts will never all be gathered together, until the re tired warrior has settled down some place to remain. He cannot call Gal ena his home, any more than New York, Oshkosh or Louisville, but it is now generally thought here he will never live long enough in Galena to run for a full-fledged Alderman. Grant still holds on to his St. Louis farm, which is a very valuable piece of property. It is very desirably located, and has the very best improvements fov well cultivated farm lands. He has had several offers to sell it, but his friend, think the general would rather sell almost anything than his Missouri property. It is understood that some wealthy railroad magnates wanted to buy the place, and soon af ter Grant struck the cuuntry from his foreign rambles they made him a lib eral offer, but the silent man thought he had the best jack knife of the two and "wouldn't swap." How much Grant is worth i a hard matter to solve. Like all rich men, his wealth, no doubt ia over estimated. It has been said that his travels around the globe cost him $50,000, and that he caoie home a much poorer man than he was the day he sailed upon his journey. Be this as it may, Gen. Grant in thought to be a very wealthy man by most of his friends in Galena, and sLould he live and keep his health, the time will come round when he will sit upon the finan cial ladder with the proudest million aires of the land. His Mexican rail road schemes, while yet in an unde veloped state, Grant thinks produc tive of the richest harvest of any seed he has yet sown. The General and Mrs. Giant are expected to return to Galena late in October, and after re maining here for a few days he will go to New Mexico.

His pasturage covers four hundred acres. When ho blows his c-'iicli tho slieop all lift their heads at the first tout and come on the full run to see what is wanted.

Lady Florence Dixie, who when last heard of, was in the camp at Bennett's Drift, camping out, and cooking her own rations with the help of Sir Beau mont, has re-established the somewhat damaged reputation of her countrymen for shooting. There was a Dutch Boer one of the four told off to guard the Boer leaders attending the ltoyal Com mission. This Boer talked big about his shooting powers and very small about those of tho English. Lady Florence challenged him, therefore, to a trial of skill. The match was arranged. Tho Boer shot with a Martini-Henry rifle. Lady Florence with a Winchester, at bottles placed at a distance of 200 yards. To tho delight of all tho onlookers, Lady Florence hit her bottles one after another as if they were elephants, and the Boer went away signally defeated and w ith the conviction that if all Eng lishmen can't shoot, some men can.

Carl Pretzel tints discourses, iu tho Rational Weekly concerning lovers of tho weed : Anion"; smokers tho.ro aro many epi cures ; their fastidiousness is exhibited, in n hundred ways. Tho epicuri.m smoker indulges in his d irling habit only under the most favoniblj condi tions ; the right time, the riglt place, and the most favorable circumstances, must unite to entice him. Then tho epicure throws himself back in his easy chair iu a reclining attitude, and first carefully inspects, th'-n lights and proceeds to smoko his favorite cigar. There is an air of trepidation about our epicurean smoker while he gently draws the first few whills ; he linger his superb 'unian" nervously, re motes it from his mouth frequently, scrutinizes the gradually forming "ash" narruwh. After making this observa tion ho uillers the smoke to escape slow ly from his lips, inclines his head slight ly, and closes his eyes, permitting his face to be bathed in tho nsuending wreaths of blue, that every senso may sit in judgment on tho quality of tho cigar. If the verdict is favorable, tho smoker's eyes unclose only to beam with delight, n placid smile overspreads his face, and from his now parted lips, tho remnant of tho experimental whiff is borne forth on a sigh of grateful re lief and supremo satisfaction. The man who smokes is at his best, intellectually and morally, when he smokes. It is then, if ever, that great thoughts come to him. It is then, if ever, that ho forms noblo resolutions. Blessed bo he, and blessed be the world if these great thoughts and noble reso lutions do not end in smoke ! Tho cigar is the chief of all comforters in affliction. When all other companion ship jars, the cigar soothes. Tho silent communion between tho smoker and his cigar, promotes a contentment akin to that to lovers whoso hearts aro too full for utterance. As tho lover clasps his betrothed in his arms and draws an inspiration of eternal fidelity from her confiding eyes, so the smoker fondles his cigar, and finds a blessed oblivion in the clouds of ever vanishing, ever re newing wreaths of smoke that circle about his head.

It is a French instrument, about four feet wide, a foot deep, and stands a trifle higher than the key-board of a pianoforte. The actor placed this novel invention in front of a handsome up right Stein way pianoforte. Extending from the back .were small hammers, enough to cover the principal keys ol the Stcinway instrument. A heavy paper with perforations, and resemb ling a book, was placed in the left hand side, and the end placed under a cross- board on tho top of tho pianista. Mr. Ernmet then turned a crank, and as the paper passed under the center-board the perforations worked small levers, which in turn worked the hammers or the keys of the finger-board, and the splendid instrument played "La Car nivaldeveni.se," and "Home, ssweei Home." These were played on tin piano, and by working two pedals at the foot of tho pianista tho fcame tunes can Lo played. A Hew Dictionary Needed. Gus do Smith is very fond of using highfalutin words and expressions. For instance, lie never uses tho te rms Jew, Hebrew or Israelite, but calls that class Semites. Yesterday Col. Gilhooly said.

"Do you mean Gus Schaumburg, the Semite, who does business on Austin avenue?" Gilhooly had never heard a Hebrew called a Semite before. Ho gave Gus a sympa thizing look, and replied, "Yes, just tell Gus Schaumbur, the Semito, to send up a bottle of whisky bv his col ored porter, thellamlte." Texas ijift- tigs.
