Omaha was visited Monday afternoon with the worst hail storm since '82, the damage amounting to thousands of dol lars in broken glass. No matter what kind of a currency we have, it will not rekindle furnaces and employ idle men so long as we go abroad for our products which can be made at home because of the cheaper labor prevailing there. Gov. "Vm. Mc Kinley. Pekhaps the most beautiful series of pictures ever presented of the Rocky mountains will be found in a collection of fourteen original paintings, executed by Thomas Moran for the May Cosmo politan. To those who have been in the Rockies, this issue of The Cosmopolitan will be a souvenir worthy of preserva tion. This number contains fifty-two original drawings, by Thomas Moran, Oliver Herford, Dan Beard, II. M. Eaton, F. G. Attwood, F. O. Small, F. Lix, J. H. Dolph, and Rosiua Emmett Sherwood, besides six reproductions of famous re cent works of art, and forty other inter esting illustrations ninety-eight in all. Though Tho Cosmopolitan sells for but fifteen cents, probably no magazine in the world will present for May so great a number of illustrations specially de signed for its pages by famous illustra tors. The fiction in this number is by F. Hopkinson Smith, Gustav Kobbe, W. Clark Russell, Edgar W. Nye, and T. C. Crawford. IT LOOKS BAD FOR DURRANT. Damaging Testimony Introduced to Show He Murdered Itlancho Lamont. Sax Francisco, May 4. The prelimi nary examination in the case of Theo dore Durraut, charged with the murder of Blanche Lainont in Emanuel church, was damaging to the defendant. Some new and startling evidence was intro duced, and still further connecting Dur rant with the crime. A. Oppelheimer, a second hand dealer, testified that be tween April 4 and April 10 Durraut had offered for sale a lady's diamond ring. The witness was shown three rings. He positively identified one among them as the one offered by Durrant. The ring was one of three returned to Blanche Lamont's aunt wrapped in a newspaper the day before Marian William's body Was found. When Oppeuheimer iden titled this ring Durraut started violent ly, turned pale and exhibited more un easiness than at any time since his ar rest. The defendant's counsel vainly triod to break down this witness' testimony and that of three other witnesses who repeated the evidence given by them at the inquest on Wednesday. These were Martin Qninlan, the attorney who saw Durrant and a girl resembling Blanche approaching Emannel church at 4:30 p. m. on April 4, David Clark, who cor roborated Quiulau's statement of his whereabouts on that day, and tho jani tor of Emanuel church, who testified that there was no defects in the gas on April 8, and therefore no reason why Don-ant should have been fixiug the gas pipe at the roof on that afternoon. The janitor's evidence was for the pur pose of discrediting Durraut's explana tion to Organist King of his appear ance when he came down pale, sick and weak, as the prosecution maintains rrom tne belfry where he had murdered Blanche Lamonr. JU9C KILRAIN KNOCKED OUT. He Faces Steve O'Donnel For Twenty- One Rounds. Coney Island, May 8. Since God Intt and Maher fought here in Decern m, 1892, there has not ben a heavy weight contest brought off in the vicin ity of New York. The fact that Jake Kilrain of Baltimore and Steve O'Don nel of Australia, were to meet here Monday night at catch weights in a 25-round go, naturally attracted a large crowd of sports, as every person who had an opportunity was anxious to see these heavyweights prove which was the better man, after the very unsatis factory 10-round draw which they fought a short time ago in Boston. Twenty-one lively rounds were fought, but in the 24th the big Baltimoreau was unable to como to the center and O'Don nel was awarded the decision. After the bout was finished Charley Johnson said he would bet 10,000 that Sullivan could whip the winner in half the time. CHICAGO SILVER CONVENTION. President Cleveland Roundly Scored the Speakers. by Chicago, May 5. The county Demo cratic convention held here today prep aratory to the Democratic state mone tary convention, to be held in June, de veloped into a hot anti-Cleveland gath ering. The president was denounced and repudiated amid the wild applause of the delegates. Ex-Judge McConnell delivered a lengthy address, iu which he declared that the president, elected by Democrats, had become the prophet and standard bearer of anything but the true Democracy. Ex-Congressman Bryan of Nebraska . roundly scored the administration, and other speakers did the same. Out oi the 700 delegates to the convention, only about 350 were present. Governor Morrill Arrested. Topeka, May 8. Governor Morrill was arrested on the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses This is the statement of Walters & Walters, at- ' torneys, who are preparing the papers which will be signed by Warden Chase of the state penitentiary. The charge is made on the ground that Governor . Morrill drew money from the state to pay for services given by his present private secretary a mouth before the governor was inaugurated. TA"DTTkA " TT TAW A UHi AJJU -Li IV W A. TWO SCORE PERSONS ARE DEAD OR DYING. Tictlms of the Great Cyclone Are Boriec Daring a TtVrible Storm at Alton Forty Farmers Homeless and Ruined Appeal Have Keen Seat Out to Adjoining; Cities- Sioux City, May 7. Order is coming ont of the chaos in the narrow district of Sionx county, which was swept by the tornado on Friday afternoon. Prompt aid has made the survivors of the devastated country as comfortable as possible; nearly all the dead ai enow buried. ' This storm, widespread as it was, ap pears to have been a true cyclone in some places, and in other parts of its territory partook more of the nature of a tornado, and in others, even where the -damage was considerable, was not more than a high wind, with severe hail and rain. The severest cyclone had its course for 12 or 15 miles in Sioux county. The same storm, or another one, touched at Sibley and did great damage there. In South Dakota, even where there was severe destruction, there appears to have been no real cyclone, with the swirling funnel-shaped clouds. The Sioux county cj clone appears to have originated near Ireton and to have trav eled northeast to a point on the Sioux City and Northern railroad, one and one-half miles north of Sioux Center. Then it took a course of an elongated letter "S," crossing the track twice and for two miles it seems to have followed straight up the track of this rail way, where it struck the town of Perkins from the sonthest, and those who saw it there believed it rose or was dissipated at that point, but it is possi ble the same awful cloud continued its tortuous course and afterward struck Sibley. The Journal's staff reporter, who went all over the ground swept by the storm, says $10,000 will cover the prop erty damage, including houses, out buildings and fences. In few places are the crops seriously damaged, for grain was not up far enough to be killed or lodged by the wind, and the permanent injury in the fields was by the plaster ing of mud which they received. This "mud shower" was a prominent part of the phenomenal storm, but it seems the power of the wind simply scooped up the black, wet earth from the sur face in several places and distributed it over other fields. The correct list of dead numbers 20, as has already been stated. None have died since Saturday. About 40 persons were injured in Sioux county. The mayor of Sionx Center appealed to Sionx City for aid and a public meeting was held Saturday night and arrangements were made for sending clothing and money. Officials of Sioux county, how ever, say it is not needed; that all have been properly cared for, and that the people of the neighborhood are well able to do it. In the whole country travers ed by the tornado but three fanners were renters, all the rest were well to do and some wealth. A revised list of the killed and in jured at Sioux Center and it vicinity is as follows: Mrs. Herman Hevmax. John Maissden, teacher. Miss Axxa Marsdfv, teacher. Mrs. John Roster. Alice Roster, aged 3. Miss Tii.uk Haome. Bare ok Mas. L. Wyxia. Mas. Axxik Povtma. Jacob Jaxsex. Tewxi-S Verhof, aged i. Mavrice Coombs, aged 4. Babe of W. Vi.fm . Mrs. R. Waver axu Babe. A. Baruliv.

IOWA'S DEAD ARE LAID TO REST. Victims of the Great Cyclone Are Buried During: a Terrible Storm. Alton, la., May 7. The funeral of the victims of Friday's cyclone was held here Sunday in the midst of a terrific storm. The valley of death from Ireton to Sionx Center, which nearly parallels the railroad track, was crowded all day with vehicles of every description. From all sides there was nothing but debris. Dead horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, articles of wearing apparel, portions of houses and barns, pieces of wagons and farming impliments and everything moveable were scattered along the route. All the dead were buried in Sioux county Sunday, excepting the Marsden brothers and sisters, whose remains were sent to their old home in Wis consin. Around Sioux Center 40 farmers are Aomeless and ruined, and appeals have been sent out to many adjoining cities by the authorities. The railroads reach ing this part of the country have agreed to carry all donations free of charge. Seventeen! the Crew Drowned. Port Towxsend, Wash., May 4.

BANK CASHIER COMMITS SUICIDE. Preferred IVm. H. Megquter of Omaha Death to Blindness. Omaha, May 4. William H. Meg quier, assibtaut cashier of the First Na tional bank, committed suicide this morning by shooting himself through the head at tho residence of George Bar ker, president of the National Bank of Commerce. No cause for the act is known. For some time past Mr. Megqnier has suffered from impairment of his eyes, and his fears that he would not recover caused extreme despondency. He had been confined to his rooms for several weeks. M-. Fred Davis, cashier of the First National bauk, states that Mr. Megquier's accounts were in excellent condition, that his services were entire ly satisfactory, aud to extreme despond ency can ouly be attributed the cause of the act. Mr. Megqnier was connected with the First National for 13 years and was unmarried. ANOTHER ROUND IN THE HILL CASE. Important Question Raised by the F.X Treasurer's Counsel. Lincoln, May 4. The state rested at noon Thursday in the case against ex State treasurer Hill aud his bondsmen, and at the afternoon session the de fense attempted to introduce as evidence the $700,000 bond of the Capital Na tional bank, given when it was made a state depository. This was resisted by Judge Wakeley for the state. The de fense, by Attorney John H. Ames, claimed there was no decision in any case similar to this where a state treas urer has been held liable for placing money in a bank. Judge Wakeley urged that there was a precedent iu Cedar conuty, in this state, in which Judge Savage had held that a county treasurer had a right to receive certifi cates of deposit from his predecessor, but that this very supreme court had re versed that holding. The testimony was dry as to detail, out some points of more than general interest were developed. These were in relation to the actual condition of the affairs of the bank, the amounts which have been realized from the assets and which it is estimated by the receiver may yet be realized. This was brought out in the examination of Receiver K. K. Hayden. There has been collected by the receiver a total of 394,000, of which amounts $185,000 went to the preferred creditors and $209,100 to ex penses and ordinary claimants. It is estimated by tho receiver that there may be collected yet about $200,000 and none of that will have to go to preferred creditors. Too Much the Other Way. The tariff was claimed by tiioso in power to have been oxcesivo on foreign trade and productive of too much reve nue, bnt tho protracted agony and Caesa rian delivery of the tariff reform bant ling aud tho progressive treasury defi ciency thus provoked far transcend the sentimental agony of a surplus, which long ago ceased to vex financiers. It is always something too much, whether of a surplus or of a deficiency. Two years ago some thought wo had too much of McKinleyism. More now think we have got too much of Wilsonism. The tariff pendulum swings to and fro between protection and free trade, tiring out even tho president in dreaming dreams, alas, of "iron and coal!" Senator Jus tin S. Morrill of Vermont. Gettinr In Its Work. Free trade tariffs diminish the volume of domestic trade and compel manufac turers to seek external or foreign trade, to secure any share in which goods must be made as cheaply as they are made by other competitors. To do this labor and raw materialmnst be brought to the foreign level. Free trade tariffs alono can produce such conditions. Note the operation of tho Gorman tariff. Eternal Vigilance Necessary. The battle of Nov. 6 was but the be ginning. It is no time to lay down arms now. Great victories are proverbially dangerous. Eternal vigilance is the price of success. The evil effects of free trade should be laid at its own door, not ac cepted as due in any degree to any oth er fact or condition. I'asseager Bate War. Omaha, May 5. The Burlington to day took the first step toward precipitat ing a war in passenger rates by giving notice to the western lineV passenger association that on May 7 it would sell one way tickets from Denver to Mis souri points for $10.

Fighting has oegun in Ominada, Nicaragua. Disor der is reported from Leon also. Word comes from there that the followers of Ortiz, Cercula and Macherro have unit ed to m pv war on Zelaya. Tho Hon durau troops concentrated at Cape Graci:is will remain there, as it is feared that the threatened outbreak on the Mosquito reservation may extend here. The troops at Amalpa will be distributed along the coast. General Bonilla will take 6,000 troops and go to President Zelaya's aid if requested. The evacua tion of Corinto and tae sailing of the British ships is announced. Dr. Guzman, Nicaraguau minister, has not been advised of the re ported revolution in Nicaragua. He haa expected the sailing of the Brit ish fleet would have a quieting effect on public sentiment. This expectation was strengthened when word came that Vice Admiral Stephenson fired a salute to the Nicaraguau flag when it was again hoisted over Corinto. This courtesy was regarded as doing much to heal the wounds by the incident. Dr. Guzman's last official note said simply: "Ships sailed." TRIPLE MURDER IN COLORADO. Benjamin Ratllfle Killed Three Members of the School Board at Como. Como, Colo., May 8. At the Tarryall district school house, nine miles east of Como, Benjamin Ratliffe shot and killed Samuel Taylor, L. F. McCurdy and George D. Wyatt, constituting the school board, and who were acting as judges at the annual school election. Wyatt, who survived four hours, said Ratliffe opened a discussion over text books for the district and then he ac cused the board of slandering him and his family. Ratliffe accidentally fired his Winchester, the ball entering the floor at Taylor's foot, doing no damage. During the excitiug discussion follow ing Ratliffe took aim at Taylor and fired, Taylor dying instantly. Ratliffe then shot McCurd, striking him in the back and causing instant death. He then shot Wyatt in the back. Ratliffe surrendered to Deputy Sheriff Link at Como. He said he did his best and what he thought was justifiable homi cide. The dead men are among the most highly respected citizens of Park county. Ratliffe is 65 years of age and an invalid. Twenty-First Kentucky Derby. Louisville, May 8.

WHY THE GOLD GOES. A DEMOCRATIC PAPER BEWAILS ITS DESTRUCTIVE HANDIWORK. Political Fallacies anil Falsehoods Recoil Upon Their Author Clamored For Frea Trade and Xow Wonder at the Beault. Submerged In tho Slough. "Factories aro idle, labor is unem ployed, trado is paralyzed, money is a drug, and gold is rushing from our shores." The foregoing startling announcement was made by the New York Herald, which is one of the strongest supporters of free trado in tho United States. It made a determined fight, both with fal lacies and falsehoods, in tho campaign of 1892 to elect a president and con gress that wero pledged to freo trade. More than two years af t6r it3 party was successful, and almost two years after they assumed the administration of our national affairs, Tho Herald is compelled to admit that the result has been as quoted above. This un-Ainerican sheet has from time to time suggested various remedies to help its administration out of the hole into which it has become submerged by its anti-American policy. Wo recollect how it clamored for the repeal of the Sherman silver law, claiming that such repeal would be the salvation of the country. Wo recollect how it clamored for the passage of a new tariff bill, claiming that tho abolition of protection would be the salvation of the country. Moro recently we have witnossod its struggles for a new currency system and again for freo ship?, both of which wero to be of nntold benefit to the mass es of our people. Its Iate3t cry is one of dire distress, and that the country can be only relieved by "a popular loan, tho only practical saving measure." Has Tiie Herald forgotten that under its free trade administration two loans, amounting in the aggrpgate to $100, 000,000, have been floated? How, then, will what it is pleased to term "a popu lar loan" relievo tho situation? As long as the administration of this country re mains in tho hands of men utterly in competent to properly fulfill their du ties from an American standpoint, these men having been elected partly through the agency of Tho Herald; as long as these incompetents maintain a tariff policy that is of advantage to foreign countries and destructive in its opera tion npen American interests, just so long will our gold leavo the national treasury, no matter whether raised by "popular" or any other kind of loan. The Herald seems to think that mon ey raised and placed in the treasury by what it is pleased to term "a popular loan" will stay in tho treasury. We should like to know by what process of reasoning it arrives at this conclusion and what sacred, preservative halo can be encircled around gold that is collect ed even by a Herald's "popular loan." It must be that its overindulgence in its present diet of crow has caused The Herald to become dyspeptic, though it still retains some symptom of sound di gestion when it says, "Check the out flow of gold and relievo industry and trado from the paralysis which is inflict ing immeasurable losses upon the peo ple." Certainly this would be the remedy, and the manner in which the outflow of gold can be checked, industry and trade can be relieved from the paralysis which "is inflicting immeasurable losses upon tho people" is by the immediate repeal of the existing tariff bill. By this means and by no other means can it be done. It is tho "only one practicable way to avert the impending crisis and lift the country out of the present alough" into which The Herald ac knowledges the country haa fallen under fhgjwo years1 administration pf the po- THE INTER Most Popular Republican Newspaper of the West .And Has the Largest Circulation. f DAILY (without TERMS BY MAIL S A NEWSPAPER' THE INTER m is.
