A terrible hail storm passed north of Hastings doing great damage. It was about three miles in width. The wind was not of such great force, but the hail fell in torrents. At Doniphan the window glass on the side from which the storm approached was all broken out, and Bromfield, further west, suf fered the same way. Growing crops in me course ot tne storm were practically wiped out.

At West Point Judgo W. F. Norris sentenced Leo Pflueger, the man who murdered his wife about a year ago, to be imprissoncd in the pehitentiary for the rest of his life. The judge im posed the full limit of the law in his case. The sentence of the jury last week was that of murder in the second degree. After the sentence had been passed, the murderer spoke for the first time since last October. The substance of what he said was that his wife had been untrue. Pflueger had been ad judged insane in February. isy2. and was about to be taken to the insane asylum, when he escaped from a deputy sheriff. The case of Private P.urwcll IJaxter of Fort Niobrara, charged with man slaughter, Is on trial in Omaha. The defendant is responsible for the death of Private West, and the killing was done with a pocket knife. According to the story told of the affair, there had been trouble between the two, and I'axter was endeavoring to get away and avoid any further hostilities. His opponent followed him and was strik ing him as he ran. Uaxter drew a knife and struck backward, but insists that he could not sec whether he struck any one or not. He did not imagine he had struck a fatal blow. The destructive results of yesterday's storm, says a Sutton dispatch,are much greater than first supposed. In a track of a mile wide north and east of here a cloudburst literally flooded the face of the country, accompanied by hail and wind that destroyed the crop, broke glass in the farm houses and leveled windmills. Mrs. Henry Hull, her son and two horses were instantly killed by lightning as the lad was bringing home the stock for the night. East of here two cows were killed and a girl was severely stunned by the lightning. The hail, twenty-fiour hours after the storm, remained in the drains and was so destructive as to kill calves and other young stock. Floy Caldwell, daughter of M. Cald well of University Place, near Lincoln, was killed by a bolt of lightning last week during a heavy storm. She was standing in the sitting room, reading an essay she was to render at a sociy entertainment at Wesleyan university at 8 o'clock the same night when the fatal bolt descended and she fell to the floor. Her pulse continued for two hours afterward, and every effort was made to revive her, but to no avail. L The top of her head and her face were badly burned and there "was a burned and blackened mark down one side of her body. Her sister, not more than three feet away, was uninjured, as were the father and mother in an ad joining room. Zeno E. Briggs of West Point, who was appointed a cadet to the West Point military academy in Congressman Meiklejohn's district has been declared ineligible by the war department at Washington. His age was the point used against him. All the cadets must be 17 years of age before entering the September opening of the class and Briggs would not have been 17 until later. Jay E. Williams, of St. Edwards has been appointed in his place, having received the second highest standing in the examination. W. R. Newman of Ilartington was appointed alternate, he having received the third highest standing. The examination was com petitive and the standing of the appli cants was as follows: Zeno E.

Fire Hundred Employes of the Pension Department In the Fearful "Wreck Twenty-two KnOwtt to be Killed and Vwtce as Many More Injured, Some of Them Mortally Ghastly Scenes at the Morgue. A Veritable Death Trap. Washington; June iq. Another trag edy, less "national in character, but in volving the loss of many more lives and tnuch more human suffering, has stained the walls bf the oia Ford theater, Wash ington, where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth in April, 1863. It is a coincidence which will go into history that this second . tragedy oc curred on the very llay when the re main's of the great tragedian, whose life was so darkened by his brother's crime that he never visited Washington afterward, wfere bein'ff )ai'd lii-rfesh in Mbnt Vernon cemetery, Mass. The house in which Lincoln died, on the other side of the street from the thea ter in which he was shot, and which Is Jlill sentimentally kept in tact, as it was that fatal night, looked-down today upon a scene of agony, excite ment and grief which even the great crime of 18(55 could not parallel. Ami the hol'rors of the scerie were by n8 means lessened by .the knowledge that a blunder, surely in this case almost worse than a crime, had caused the death of from twenty to thirty persons, at least, and injuries upon fif ty or sixty more. The evidence as found in official records appears conclusive that os long ago as 1SS3 this building, which the governdient purchased after the assas sination and used as an army, museum, was officially proclaimed by congress an unsafe depository for the inanimate skeletons, mummies and books of the army medical museum, for Which a safer place of storage Was provided by act of eohgrcss. But notwithstanding the fact that in the public p'ress and in con gress also continued attention was called to the building, 'walls of the build ing and its darkness and general un suitability and unsafety, it continued to be used for the daily employment of nearly 500 government" clerks of the pen sion record division of the War office. With a refinement df discriniinatioh, howeVer, between what could be re placed ahd what could not be easily supplied, the clerks were trusted in the unsafe building, and the original rec ords were retained in the substantia fire-proof war department building proper. So the comforting official as surance is given that while thirty clerks may have been killed the pension rec1 Ords are all saved and uninjured. At the mdrguc the sight is horrible. The blood from the bodies formed in a tool oh the floor and crushed skulls, jroken arms and legs made the scene indescribable. There were some of the victims who had been crushed. They had been smothered, and discoloration of faces and necks gave visible evidence of the cause of death. Four more persons arc reported dead, whose names are probably confused with those of victims or their identity confused with some of the bodies through physical resemblance. Two persons whose names were included in the list of the victims taken front the ruins, escaped uninjured. The number of injured reported is about fifty, but many persons, who were able to proceed to their homes, were hurt more or less badly. The fol lowing list of the dead is as correct as can be made at this time. UNKNOWN MAN, taken from the ruins at 5 oclock this evening, evidently a clerk. UEORGE ALLEN, Pennsylvania. GEORGE W.

The building fell before 10 o'clock. I here were at the time 334 clerks in the building. Scarcely any escaped from injury. The injuries, from the very nature of the affair, are very se vere crushed bodies, broken limbs and internal injuries. Thousands sur rounded the scene, and the excitement spread all over the city. Every hospital in the city was called on to care for the wounded. General Schofield ordered two troops of cavalry irum rort .ueyer, just, across the river, and two companies of infantry to the scene. The secretary of the navy or dered out all the naval medical officers stationed here and opened tlie naval hospital to receive the injured. The commandant at the navy yard was or dered to render all assistance in his power. The cause of the collapse is supposed to be from digging under the founda tion for the purpose of putting in an electric light plant, but as near as can be ascertained the top floor gave way first, carrying the others down with it Fortunately the entire building did not collapse, as in that case the loss of life would have been much greater. As it was only the front part went down, leaving more than half of the floor space intact. Because of this many lives were saved. Some of the clerks at their desks were left sitting on the brink, while the desks at which they sat went down. The collapse of the building had ex cited earnest attention to the two other great public buildings believed to be in an almost equally unsafe condition one the government printing office, where 1,S00 people are employed; the other is the rickety shell known as the Winder building, also belonging to the war department and occupied by hun dreds of clerks at that department and the second auditor's office. This place is notoriously dangerous, and the" floors are overloaded, all of the facts being known to congress for years, but re ceiving no attention.

Meaning of President Cleveland's State- (meht fon tlib ripnticlal Situation. , WAihufoloN", Jtine h. President Cleveland's frank statement in regard to the date of calling an extra session of Congress was the subject of politi cal gossip. The President wrote the statement himself and sent it to the press association, and everything indi cated that the President lmd made up hi!) mind t'd make the statement after a conference with some of his high po litical advisers. Secretary Gresham drove to the White House and remained with tho President a while. Although it is not positively known, it is be lieved that other members of the Cabi net were there also and that th"V gave the President their advice On the nro priety bf the statement. The tneaniiig of the interview, as it is generally regarded, is simply that the President wishes it to be "under stood that his. administration will take no action, such as the issuance of bonds, until after Congress has met and had a chanco to legislate on finan cial affairs. There are some who doubt the wis dom of the President's entering into the general discussion oh this subject, claiming that by so doing he Will aid very materially to the feeling df finan cial unrest, espcciallj' in the West. They fear that the President's state ment, admitting as it does the danger of the situation, will occasion the sub tractioa of a number of deposits from bauks and possibly the failure of sev eral of these institutions. Chinese Complications. WAsiiixgtox, H. C., June 7. The Treasury department for some time has believed that the Chiesc were using af fidavits of authentication for illegiti mate purposes. Some, taken out here, were sent abroad and sold to China men; in other cases the Chinamen would dispute of them after reaching China, and, in both cases, the law was violated. Under the law, Chinese mer chants who decide lo leave this county to visit China have lterctofore been fur nished with papers which, when en dorsed by the United States consul at the port of debarkation, to enable them to re-enter the United States. Acting Secretary Hamlin thinks the abuse should be stopj't'd and has addressed the collector at Boston a letter on the subject to that effect. The state department will probably not interfere in the case of the steam ship Danube at Portland, Ore., where the captain appealed to the Dritish le gation for relief from the order of the court which required him to bring .'5."0 Chinese passengers before the court to answer its habeas corpus, llic captain was willing that the Chinese should an swer, but he feared to assume the heavy responsibility of preventing the escape of the Chinamen when they were once ashore. Sir Juliah Pauncefote, the British am bassador, called at the state depart ment toda-, probably to present the case to Secretary Gresham. It is be licvedat the department that there will be no difficulty in complying technically with the order of the court, while avoid ing any posibility of the escape of the Chinese. This could be done if the mar shal should serve his writs on board and left a deputy in charge of the Chinese until the court passes upon the case. Cholera In Turkey. Washington, D. C, June!). Surgeon General Wyman of the Marine hospital service, on Tuesday cabled the Ameri can minister at Constantinople, Turkey, for an affirmation or denial of the rC- port that cholera existed in that country and today received the follow ing reply: Pkiia, June 7.

Dr. Wyman does not anticipate any danger from the disease unless it should work its way to Alexandria on the Red sea.

Nebraska is on top, favoreft by per fectly delightful weather, and in the presence of an enormous crowd Nebras ka formally invited the world to accept the hospitality of her state building. From nn early hour Nebraskons began to assemble and Cbinihi.-sitmer General t'tarrtean, Scth Mobley ahd Dave fJar'tafi, who were ill eaflyon the ground, were busy men, welcoming visiiofs nnH an swering questions. Governor Crounse came out at 10 o'clock and met hun dreds of his friends. At 11 o'clock a hand was he'drd, and iu a fev Momenta a parade, such as has never bceh i6efl in Jackson Park, filed past the Nebras ka building. Colonel Cody rode a mag nificent charger at the head of the Unit ed Stitcs cavalry which formed the governor's guard of honor then came fill the Indians in f till warpaint, several chiefs ill carriages itnd the cowboys and cavalry of all nations. Cdmtnissionef General Garneau es corted Governor Croulis!: to the cast porch and when the strains of "Hail t? the Chief" had died away, turned over the building to Governor Crounse. The governor accepted the gift and in turn dedicated it to Hie people Pf ftll nations. Governor Crounse spoke as follows: As I behold the splendors of this vast exhibition of human achievement from all corners of the globe, it seems almost the height of audacity for our young state to venture to take part. If Colum bus had kindly delayed his discovery a few years, or' if thii settlement of Ne braska had been started ii quarter of a century earlier", at the" pace she has al ready set, I have ho doubt She would have stood high in rank ambng her competitors. But time has not yet ripened the fruits of her industry, nor has age matured the creations of en terprise. But at this irae, in competi tion with the nations of the old world with centuries behind them, or in ri valry with some of her elder sisters of the east, Nebraska has Hot an exten sive br varied exhibit. Yet 1 aill protld today to assist in dedicating Nebraska's modest offering to the world's Colum bian exposition because it symbolizes what Nebraska offers to the world it self. While Nebraska boasts of having one of the largest smelting and refining works on the globe, has two of the six beet sugar factories of the United States and has already set her streams to the music of the cotton spindles, yet it is essentially an agricultural state, arid we do not boast of great cities nor place on exhibition many products of the busy factories. There is one industry, however, in whidi we excel. The whole population, including sonic of the best representatives from the old Pine state, the Empire, Keystone. Buckeye and other eastern states, together with the German, the Britain and Scandinavian, is engaged in it. It started something over a quarter of a centnrj ago, atld although its development has been steady and rapid, it is even yet in its infancy. It began on the Missouri river where the early settler was confronted by the descendant of the tribe who first greeted Columbus when he landed four hundred .years ago, ahd has extended to hear the base bf the Rocky mountains on the west and from Kansas on tile south to the Dakotas on the north. It is the iudustrj- of home building. We cannot place it on exhibition here. The developments which go to make up happy homes for l,2fu,000 of prosperous people cannot be catalogued in books and arranged in display. These, with our beautiful landscapes and salubrious climate, invite inspection at home. Our fertile soil, which annually produces enough corn, wheat, oats ahd otlur grains, as well as beef and pork, to sup ply a kingdom, can only be suggested by a few shipments exhibited, leaving the imagination to picture the capabil- iiy oi wie suaic 10 minister 10 uie want 8aji: lt Was made simply be of a hngry world when its full resour- cauao this man White has been mak- ces snan nave Dcen iieveiopetl.

""""" i;;j. llllll IIIU UISCUVLTV ot goiu in the west and of a new bible in the east, it soon became the path of the emigrant in quest of the yellow metal in California, and of the Mormon pilgrim seeking a retreat in mountain fastness, where he could embrace a re- ligion and more wives than were toler- itj- deaths per ated in the east. The tide of emigra itelv appeared tion which followed has in a few short years given Nebraska a population of 1.250.000 of people. The plow of the husbandman and nearly 0,000 miles of railway have effaced the trail of the savages. In the place occupied by the tepee, thriving cities, churches, schools I and universities are found. As far as ' ebraska Is concerned, the Indian, the buffalo, the overland mail coach, the pony express and cowboys are things of the past, to be read of In history or more profitably studied by a visit to the great wi'd West show.
