Some months since this state was
startled by the announcement that Prof.
Aughey , of the state university , committed
forgery , with circumstances apparently con
clusive of his guilt. At a meeting of regents
he tendered his conditional resignation. The
professor stated to friends he had been the
victim of a man who owed him money , and
told a long , Intricate anil improbable story
about the mysterious individual who duped
him. This was regarded universally as sub
terfuge , almost everybody believing him
guilty. At the supplemental meet-
ng of the board of state re
gents held in Lincoln Friday , Prof. Aughey
introduced evidence clearly establishing the
existence of the pretended friend and his
innocence. The case is regarded as one of
the most strangely romantic in the annals of
western incidents , and is the sensation of
the hour.
The Latest Cyclone.
The Kansas City Journal's Spring
field ( Mo. ) special of Monday says : Shortly
after 2 o'clock this afternoon this city was
visited by a destructive cyclone. The storm
struck the woolen mills , destroying a portion
tion of the buildings and greatly damaging
the machinery. Then , passing a little north
of east , demolished a number of residences.
Striking Division street , at the corner of
Boouevillo street , the storm followed a line
between the city proper and North Spring
field for three blocks , levelling residences in
both towns. Then tending a little north
ward the tornado passed to Bridgetown , a
suburb of North Springfield. The total loss
is estimated at between $150,000 and $250-
000. Probably seven persons were killed
and many injured. The new cigar factory
of F. A. Hacker and his residence were com
pletely demolished. The family were absent
at the time ; a number of employes of the
actory were Injured. St. Mary's Catholic
church was wrecked. There is reported
great damage at Brookline , and Republic ,
in the southwestern part of the county , was
blown down. Telephone communication
with Springfield was also destroyed. Hazel
Dell , a school house , west of the city , was
blown down. Fifty children were In the
building. None was seriously hurt. Their
escape was most miraculous. The path [ of
the storm was only a few yards in width ,
but wherever it struck the ruins is appall
ing. A public meeting is called for to
morrow. Meanwhile all temporary provi
sion possible is being made. Among the
killed are Mrs. Sallie Arnquist , a young
Swede woman , and Miss Sallie Edmondson ,
u young lady of 18. Confusion is so great
that it is almost impossible to give a com
plete list at present of the killed and
wounded.
A special a day later from Spring
field , Mo. , gays : \7orkmen were busy to
day clearing away debris left by yesterday's
fetorrn. Mrs. Aiken , reported among the
injured , .died at midnight. Three others
are yet not out of danger. In the country
west of here the storm was severe. The
*
farm-house of Jerome was blown sway.
His wife is reported still-missing. Mn Ing-
ler and Mrs. Strong are thought mortally
wounded. The storm also wrought serious
damage in the country east. . As far as can
be ascertained it traveled aboutHfty miles ,
its force being expended chiefly in this vi
cinity. A large number .of farm-houses
were blown down. The list of persons dan
gerously injured are-probably complete as
reported. The citizens responded liberally ,
and it will not be necessary to go outside for
assistance. The damage to property In the
" * *
city and vicinity is $150,000. , * -

Last September the.commissioners of
public land in "Wisconsin offered for sale
some 160,000 acres of public lands at auc
tion. The bidding was spirited at first , but
soon a land pool was formed of land specu-

mum price , and by a combination to pre
vent open competition. The reports of this
pool came to the ears of the commissioneis ,
and they made investigation and found the
pool had bought lands at the minimum
Jrico. They , held an auction among them
selves and resold at a large advance on the
price. It is said from $50,000 to $100,000
above the price realized to the state was se
cured. The commissioners , after a hearing ,
were convinced that a fraudulent combina
tion was made and have set aside the sales.
The lands belong to the education and drain

judges of the district court is hard to get.
but it Is likely Broady ( dem.- ) beaU Colby
( rep. ) In the First district , with possibly
throe other districts in doubt. Tno balance
has gfone republican. The county elections
are decidedly mixed , on account of local
prejudicosrather than partizan feelings.
In Massachusetts Butler la defeated , Rob
inson ( rep. ) having about 10,000 majority
in a total vote of over 300,000. Ainea ( rep. )
Is elected lieutenant governor by 12,000
plurality , and the rest of the republican
ticket was similarly successful. The repub
lican majority hi the legislature will be
about forty.
In New York , Carr ( rep. ) Is elected sec
retary of state by about 16,000 majority.
Maxwell ( dem. ) is elected state treasurer
by a bare majority. Russell ( rop. ) for at
torney general , may pull through , but it I *
doubtful. The legislature will on joint bal
lot stand 90 republicans to 69 democrats.
In Pennsylvania , the chairman of the
democratic state central Committee at an
early hour * Wednesday declared the over
whelmingly large republican majority in the
city of Philadelphia destroyed all his hopes ,
and while the country districts of the state
were giving democratic majorities larger
than expected , the final result would be
10,000 republican majority and ptwsibly
twice that. The latter figure la claimed by
the chairman of the republican central com
mittee.
Returns indicate that -the democrat * ! have
carried Virginia from 10,000 to 15,000. The
senate stands : democrats 22 , coalitionists
13 , doubtful 5. The house of representa
tives is : democrats 60 , coalitionists 19 ,
loubtful 11. When the doubtful counties
\ro heard from the democratic majority on
ioint ballot will probably reach 25.
Returns from a number of counties of
Maryland are incomplete , but sufficient Is
\nown to insure the election of the entire
leraocratic state ticket. The estimated ina-
ority for McLane in the state IB 12,000. The
republicans gained three senators. The
icmocrats gained senators in .Frederick and
iYashington couuilos. This with five demo-
: ratic and eight republican senators holding
