Wind Shakes Up Both Kansas and

Chicago, June 11. Fifty men worked all
day Sunday in and around the vaunted
auditorium which is to bo occupied nine
days hence. It looks at present like a
queer place to hold a convention. The
three streets on which tl:e half built
structure fronts are filled with derricks,
piles of bricks, blocks of granite, hoisting
engines, mortar-beds and general debris.
Teams hauled all day and then
scarcely made a beginning on the
amount, of material to bo removed.
The outer walls are to the third
story, and tho three front3 present the
most unprepossessing appearance. The
great hall, howevor, docs not come to the
street line anywhere. It is the Interior

Custer County last fall, where she was the
terror of ber neighborhood. Finally, after
repeated threats of killing her husband,
she blew out his brains with a shot-gun
while he was sleeping. Her children were
the only witnesses of the deed, and she
was convicted on their testimony and sent
to the petii:e:itiary for twanty-ave years.
She had been a vicious aid unruly prisoner
ever sines entering the prison. Sue quar
reled wuh the female convicts, and in fits
of passion toro her bedding into shreds.

Mb. Morlen-, of Valentine, recently
was the victim of an unfortunate acciJent.
While taking his gun off his shoulder ho
accidentally pulled tho trigger and tho en
tire load was discharged in his leg near
the ankle. As the other leg was lost some
timo ago it is almost a miracle that be was
able to drag himself along at nil. Never
theless he succeeded in getting to his j ony,
which was a little less than a mile hway,
and with the courage and strength born of
dire necessity- and unflinching grit, he
managed to mount his pqny and rods a
mile or more, where he came upon some
men at worn in the adjoining vallcv.

The Auditorium.
of a great business block with stores and
offices shutting it off entirely from light
on throe street sides and with only
tho passage to let in air. Oa the
fourth side there is a twenty-foot alley.
This hall has been roofed over, and It is
the only portion of the building on which
any thing in that direction has been done.
One branch of work on which men were
engaged yesterday was building temporary
passageways through the outer portion
from the Btrce'. to the auditorium en
trances. Iron stairways are contemplated,
but just now steps are being knocked to
gether from rough plank to answer the
purposes of next week.
The plan of the interior is that of a big
theater and nothing else. Auditorium is
the Chicago name for it The parquet or
pit is reserved for delegates, and, by the
way, they will sit in the regular slam-down
theater chair. The floor rises as it recedes
from the bald-beads' row, and the alter
nates sit in the parquet circle. Then there
are three galleries or circles to hold
the spectators, although there is donbt
about the third being made ready in
time. Newspaper correspondents will
sit where the fiddlers usually work
their elbows. The officers will perform
their parts on a stage. The only essential
difference in the Auditorium f ronVa theater
is the gallery built around the back of the
stage, which precludes the use of scenery.
At present the interior of the ball is a
scene of vast and cumbrous confusion.
Everything has been thrown down there
awaiting progress on the other and more
exposed portions. The builder promises to
cart the miscellaneous collection outside In
time for the decorator to hide the bare
boards above and urouad with stripes of
red, white and blue Tho decoration be
gins to-day.
Thore has been some talking about the
capacity of this Auditorium. Hound num
bers rather exaggerated have been used.
Mr. Clarkson, the .Iowa member of the Na
tional Committee, who is dovoting bis time
to tho arrangements for tho convention,
has made a careful count. He says
there will be scats for 7,272 people, and
no more, and this will not leave any
standing room. Still, with this smaller
number by a third than the seats at
St. Louis, the citizens of Chicago who con
tributed will fare a great deal hotter than
the subscribers to the St. Louis fund did.
In St. Louis the citizens' committee re
ceived SOO tickets, and then, by hard
grumbling, they got 6J0 more from Mr.
Barnum. The Chicago committee will
have 2,000 to start with for their contribut
ors and probably more-. This is done by
limiting delegates to something less than a
pocketful. Each delegate is-to have just four
tickets. Three of the tickets will give gen
eral admission and one will be a press
ticket. The latter arrangement is some
thing new, and is made to give tho dele
gate an opportunity to inks care of the
country newspaper men. The alternate
gets oie ticket, and that is the one admit
ting him to bis place in the convention.

CROP
REPORT.
That of Last
Changes From
Month's.
Washington", June 9. The following is
the crop report issued by tho Department
ofAgricullUre:
VTbere was some reduction in seeding in
ttil winter wheat area m some States,
though the average breadth of all wuslrat
sliightly reduced. In tho East and South
there was no material loss of area from
freezing, but in several Western States It
was considerable. The apparent reduc
tion of breadth of winter whoat, as com
pared with that of last year was abont
1,750,000 acres. The percentage of reduc
tion for the entire winter wheat region
is placed at 7.2 per cent. It is IS in Illi
nois, 14 lc.Ohio, lo in Michigan and 9 in In
diana. This is in comp.irion with the re
duced area harvested last year.
'There has been an increase of area of
spring wheat in Dakota aud In the ter
ritories further west but a decrease in
Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota, making
an average decrease for the spring wheat
region of 1 er cent. The area in wheat Is
slightly b.-low 60,030 000 acres.
There is slight local change of condition
of winter wheat, some improvement in
New York and Pennsylvania and marked
decline ia Missouri and minor changes of
status elsewhere, making the average 78.8
anutatT&liaMay. The loss by overflow
of tha,Mi isrippl in Illinois offsets in part
jfehe' Mproreawat in other counties. Ia
OUo,Indtana, Michigan and Kansas the
average is nearly the same as ia May.
'The acreage of barley is nearly .the
same as last year. New York and Wiscon
sin are credited with an increase of 1 per
cent, Minnesota 3, Dakota with 10; Iowa,
Missouri and California report a small re
duction. The condition of barley averages
88.8. It is only S i in California.' The area
of rye is practically the same as last year.

ToPEKA,Knn.,Juns S. Secretary Mohler
of the State Board of Agriculture, who has
jnst returned from his home in Osborne
County, gives the following account of the
terrible hall and wind storms last Friday
and Saturday nights which visited Rooks
County and passed through Osborne,
Mitchell, Cloud and Ottawa Counties be
fore they expended their force: "Tho
storm began," said Mr. Mohler, "in the east
ern part of Hooks County, passing directly
east through the South Solomon valley, de
stroying crops over a territory averaging
six miles in width. The wheat and rye
crops were in most places destroyed for a
distance of over one hundred miles. Many
of the farmers whoso crops were thus
damaged have, where possible, cut their
wheat and rye for hay. This hail storm
was the most destructive which ever vis
ited that section of tho State. Between
seven and eight o'clock on Saturday even
mg a terrific wind storm, or, more proper
ly, a tornado, accompanied by a tremen
dttus rainfall, passed over about the same
section of country, doing immense dam
age in the destruction of buildings. In
Corinth township, in which I reside,
two school houses and four barns were en
tirely demolished, a large number of wind
mills were blown down and many dwelling
houses were unroofed. Similar damage
was done in Mitchell aud Cloud Counties.
As far as I have been able to learn but one
life was lost, that of a child, which was
crushed in the ruins of a building at Be
loit A wealthy farmer named McKaskey,
near Cawker City, Mitchell County, on the
evening of the storm bad gone to church
with his wife, leaving his two daughters
alone in the house. When the storm
broke upon them the girlslfelt the house
moving from its foundation, and in
the excitment of the occasion, while trying
to extinguish the lamp, it overturned and
exploded, setting fire to the bouse. The
girls rushed out of doors in the terrible
wind and rain storm, and throwing them
selves flat on the prairio in the drenching
rain, remained there until tho storm died
away and witnessed the destruction of
their home by the elements. The fine barn
and outbuildings were also destroyed."
Mr. Mohler stated that these were only a
few of the many instances of damage done
by this storm which have never been re
ported. Fobt Yates, Dak., June 1L The great
est tempest ever known in this part of
Dakota passed over this point at two
o'clock Saturday morning. Houses were
blown down, fences lifted up and hurled
through space for miles, trees torn up by
weir roots and borne along for sev
eral rods and Indian tepees picked up and
landed no one knows where. The wind
came np while people at the Fort and in
vicinity were sleeping, and the first intima
tion they had was the removal of their
roo.from over their heads by the storm
king. With the wind came the heaviest
thunder and the most vivid lightning ever
seen here. Ten minutes after the storm
broke it began to rain in torrents,
keeping it up for more than an
hour and causing immense damage by
washouts in new-made gardens and wheat
and corn fields. Several persons wore
killed by the lightning and falling debris.
These 60 far identified are Shell King, the
chlcbratcl Ind:ai chief, and his son. A
farmer living two miles south of here
whoss name could not be learned, was
found dead in his field, half a mile from
the point at which his lioue was located.
The building had been completely wrecked,
and it is supprsed the uum h td been car
ried to the point w!:cre hr was found by
the tempest. One t-iile of hi.s head was
c ruLc i. Mattio Da:i;trov ki, a girl of
thirteen, living at a settlement six milci
south, li::s not been seen su c? the storm
struck tha: point, aud it is bo'.ieved she
was blown into the -iver ant drowned.
Search is being made fur the body.
The loss in this vicinity will amount to
many thousands. Tat among tbe Indians
is especially severe, us hundreds of taem
had every ttiinjr they hail swept away by
the winds. At Gr;:nd Porks it has been
raining incessantly for forty-eljjht hours.
Hooding cellars in the business portion of
the city, and rendering t!ie streets im
passable. To add to the general demoral
ization a sewer burt en Demurs avenue,
flooding basements to tuo depth of five
feet, and destroy. ng furniture and perish
able goods.
At St. Thomas lightning toro uwny the
side of G. B. Walker' rcslJeoce and struck
the Christian elevator. Tti-j latter was
burned to the ground, together with about
3,000 bushels of wheat. The St. Thomas
Lumber Company s.v-d a portion of its
property. The loss oa i he olevator is about
$10,000.
Vixita, L T., June 11. A waterspout
burst over the district of Armtiz yester
day morning, flooding the entire section.
All tbe bridges on tbe Bigund Little Cabin

Cincinnati, June 9. A little af tor ted
o'clock last night Amerioan Express Mes
senger J. H. Zimmerman and Baggage
master Joo Ketcbum were alone together
hi tho express and baggage ear of the Cin
cinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chi
cago railway train due here at eleven
o'clock city time, when Zimmerman, as
the tram left Delbi, a station twelve niiles
west or here, called Ketchum's attention
to tramps that he saw through tho glass
window of tha car door leading to the front
platform next to tho locomotive tender,
and both arose and went toward the door.
When within ten feet of it the tramp
began tiring through the glass window and
Kotchum fell, shot in four places, two balls
entering his abdomen, one his breast and
one his left shoulder. Zimmerman tried
to draw his pistol, but it stuck in his hip
pocket and ho retreated to the rear plat
form of the car, where he met the con
ductor and the latter pulled the bell rope
ana stopped tue train.
While this was gcing on one of the
tramps climbed on tbe tender, where he
was met by the engineer and fireman and
knocked stiff by two blows from a monkey
wrench. Tbe engineer and fireman then
rolled him off the tender while the train was
at full speed. Before be was thrown over
board, however, a second robber attempted
to climb in tbe tender, but weakened and
dodged back at the sight of the prostrate
form of bis companion.
Before the train stopped more than one
robber was seen to jump off and disappear
in the darkness. All of them woro masks
completely covering their faces.
