ill. , Juno II , There passed
through the northeastern part of ttila
( Knox ) county about 8 o'clock , yesterday
evening , n most dcstructlvo tornado , and
ruin wns loft all along Its path. It socms to
huvo first made Us nppoaranco northwest of
Gnlva. About 7:0i : ) o'clock threatening
clouds were noticed In the west approach
ing ono another , nnd the tornado
resulted from their Junction. Its course was
south and cast through tha city ,
nnd the main body of the storm
passed along the main business street.
It caino with such widdonnoss that the
citizens had not time In which to fly to places
of safety. At the Fremont church there was
nsncmblod a congregation , In the rink there
wns gathering a committee for a Fourth of
July cclo'orulon. The church was quickly n
mass of rainb and the congregation wns im
prisoned , A number were Injured , ono dan
gerously. The rink wns blown down but
thnio Inildo managed to oscnpo without In
jury. Had the ntonn como a foxv moments
later many would huvo been In this building
nnd a great loss of llfo would surely hnvo re-
sultcd.
Accompanied by Midnight Dnrlfiicfl * .
The storm was accompanied by midnight
darkness and an awful sweep of wind that
carried everything before it. Nearly every
business nouso along the principal street
was unroofed and the stocks of goods were

Olson's houso. There were tn the house nt
Iho time Mr. end Mrs. Olsen , Charles Olson
and four others. The residence suddenly
collapsed , killing Mr. Olsen Instantly , the
others escaping by a mlruclo.
The town today Is In a stale of demoraliza
tion. Business Is completely suspended nnd
the Btrcots nro filled with dobns of every
description. The stores are more or loss In
ruins. There is hardly u residence but what
will need repairs. The damuL-o Is estimated
ut $200,000.

nation of correct roporls concerning
Bohemian matters In general and Ihoso per
taining to the present struggle of tbo Bo
hemian people ngnlnst Austrian oppression
in particular. The reports which hnvo
hitherto been sent out came from prejudiced
sources , and the result of this stop will bo
Hint the Associated Press will receive cor
rect reports , which will sot forth the efforts
of the Bohemians In tnolr true light. The
publication of n history of Bohemia written
in English , by Mr. Vlckors f Chicago , was
assured by the action of the executive com

which marks most of the histories of Bo-
henna written by her enemies , is lo bring to
the uolico of English reading people Iho
slrugglcs of Bohemians for the liberty of

representing thrco different classes , drilling
for forty-five minutes each before three crit

now point most conclusively to the linmodl-
nto recovery of nil lost ground , nnd an im-
mcnso nltcndanco during the remainder of
the drill week.
The Lima City Gunrds of Litcn , O. , was
the first company to drill yesterday after
noon. At" o'clock the program was sent to
Captuln Boll , nnd , according to the rules , bo
was allowed 'just ouo hour to look
it over nnd post himself on tbo
movements his company was to oxocuto.
When the bugto sounded drill cull the com
pany entered the parade ground nt double
quick time. It was dressed lu sky blue
pantaloons , grey dress coats and whlto
plumed helmets. A cheer wont up from the
grand stand ns the command momentarily
halted , nnd after u brief conference with the
judges the Limns went to work to win the
money put up for tbo best maiden company.
The men exercised In tbo manual of arms ,

At tbo conclusion ot the drill the com

stood. After snluUnc thu company was dis
missed und thu officers nnd men gathered
about the fuir women who were tbolr com-
puny colors.
Miss Gertrude Clark , the sponsor , pre
sented Captain Bell with a handsome bou
quet , and their part of the program was

crone of iho guards and Miss Wood of Bellevue -

Though they used no ammunition their
firing drill was such as to elicit round utter
round of well merited applause.
They drilled rapidly and were uot caught
nt the close by tno buglo. After they were
dismissed Captain Sheldon paid bis respects
to the lady sovereigns of the company , who
had watched thu drill with the most Intense
earnestness nud Had led the applause that
greeted each carolully executed manoeuvre.
The captain was fairly bowed down with the
congratulations and good wishes hcapadlipon
him. v

No sooner was the ground cleared than tbo
grand stand again broke into applnuso and a
glunco down the strcot leadlne to Urn camp
proper revealed the reason. A dozen artillery -
men , wcarinir the rod stripe of that branch
of thu service , wcro tugging nt u
cumbersome field pleco , und n mo
ment later tbo forbidding looking
cannon was left frowning ulono near the cen
ter of the parade ground. The Judges reap
peared. und immediately thereafter , rtreoted
with rousing cheers , the drill team of the In
dianapolis artillery company marched upon
the ground and took possession of
its piece. Under the rules prescribed for
artillery drill , they un limbered nud
limbered the grim twelve pounder , loaded
and fired , tugged and twlstad und bandied
the ponderous plaything as if it wcro the
veriest toy imaginable , The man obaugcd
places , each drilling In every position , except
that of gunner , thut individual being
ullowcd to keep his plucc. The
men fell out , nnd the gun
was handled by n reduced crow ,
tno piece being loaded and fired once by
only two men. The drill was a pretty ono ,
and tbo heavy booming of tha inanimate
pleco added a weird fascination to tbo
exhibition. Thn company received its full
meed of unplauso , nud was followed with
regrets as it loft the field.

The parade was very much of n revelation ,

U Is not often that a parade of tha entire
Second Infantry Is to bo soon In the streets
of Omaha nnd it was appreciated accord
ingly. The precision with which the guurds-
men moved elicited much fuvorublo com
ment , and the fnncy ovolutlons of the gaily
nttlrod zouaves nnd the sturdy marching o't
tbo artillery cama li for their share of praise ,
Slmiii lluttla Today.
The big bill today is the sham battle , which
Is to bo a nineteenth century reproduction of
tha world-famed bnttla of Marathon , the
con diet between 10,000 Greeks under Mlltl-
ndos nnd 00,009 Persians under Arlnphornus.
Its aim is to practically demonstrate the suc
cess of Mlltindos' schema of bunching troops
so that with n vastly Inferior force bo de
feated his powerful adversary.
The forcoi on Omaha's field ot Marathon
will bo commanded on both sldos by ofilcnrs
of the regular nrmy , and under those.gen
erals of modern warfare will bo reproduced
tbo wonderful bittlo in which n small nrmy
beat n big ono. All oranchei will partici
pate , tbo regulars and militia , infan
try and artillery. Of the latter thcro
will bo both field pieces and machine guns ,
nnd the roar ot tbo cannon , tha buzz of tbo
Uutllngs nnd the rattle of the musketry will
form but n part of n thrilling cccno. The
signal corps will also bo busily ut work , nnd
each branch will bo given abundant service.
At tbo conclusion of Iho battle thcro will
be exhibition drills by the zouaves , Infantry ,
artillery nnd Gatllng sections.
It will bo tbo blzgost general entertain
ment that will be furnished uny day of the
drill , ns guard mount and all the regular

1 am In receipt today of further In
formation from Caracas In regard to
the rumored Illght of Paluclo nnd Iho
panio prevailing In the capital. It cornea
from the same good authority nnd 1
ngaln send you the news without vouching
for Its truth. In accordance with your dl
roctlons , I have forwarded n message to
Caruca * to try , if possible , to get continua
tion of the sensational stories nlloat. So far
I have not obtained any reply. This U
douotloss duo to the unsettled stnto
of affairs in Venezuela , The telegraphic -
graphic nnd cable service Is In such
a demoralized condition that my dispatch
may have been suppressed or lost. I am on
the point of ngnln wiring to Caracas. As
soon ns I hoar from there I suiill notify the
llurald. Moanwhllo I glvo you the contin
uation of the story about Palaclo as It cauio
to mo within tbo past hour.
As the news of the dictator's hurried departure -
parturo bccumo moro nnd moro noised about
the city , the excitement rapidly Increased
among tbo citizens in sympathy with the re
bellion. At first they confined their
demonstrations to cheering for General
Crcspo , the leader of the revolutionists , nnd
hissing nnd booting the nnmo of Palaclo ,
Then as the report of bis flight received con *
Urination the groups of enthusiastic Icgls-
lutorn begun to cry out , ' 'Down ' with the ad-
berentH of the usurper. Lot us free tha
prison of our friends. Death to the rascally
police.1' '
Bought In Iho Streets.
In the hands ot many of tbo citizens fire
arms appeared nnd shots were lired. Al
most Immediately the streets wcro filled with
marching rlotcra. The government police
_ aiidfsoj.dicrsjiailon.Ioohlo , attempt to drive
them back. There was ' some sharp firing-
for the spice ; of from txv'euty minutes to half
an hour , during which time many persons
wcro shot und the mob plundered many
houses. The number of dead and wounded
Is not stated by my informant.
Then some of the cooler and clearer headed
leaders of the mob udviscd it to dtspcrso
qulioly lor the time being , holding itself lu
readiness to roassornblo nt the first word.
While this was tnlung place in the streets of
the capital , Palncio'a officials were holding a.
meeting behind closed doors in the president * ! ;
palaco. They were dismayed at the outlook.
Tno more they studied the situation tha
worse It appeared. Unconditional surrender
to Uoncral Crespo was suggested , but voted
down. Next It wus proposed that the next
official In rank to Pulucio should assume
command of tbo presidency until some plan
should bo hit upon to extricate Iho national ,
ists from their dilemma. Thut oOlclal
hurriedly and emphatically declined to accept
the perilous olllco. Then it wns proposed
that Minister of War Sarria should exerciser
u dictator's duties temporarily. Ho accepted
reluctantly.
All business In Curacoa Is suspended ,
owing to the excitement. Merchants do not
dare to throw opan their stores for fear raIJa
will bo made on them by the rubblo.
To add to the discomfiture of the national
ists , word has Just boon received from tha
battlefield that another terrific engagement
has been fought between Croipo's followers
nnd the government troops a few leagues
west of Caracas.
lUiviiliitloiilxtH Victorious.
As in otbor important lights the soldiers of
Pulnclo were defeated with grout slaughter.
Stragglers Irom the routed army nro coming
Into Caracas and spreading the spirit of
panic everywhere. They nay thilt the
triumph of the rebels Is certain ; that
Puludo's cause Is doomed , nnd tbut tha
fighting spirit has boon driven out of thorn
by repeated und disastrous defeat.
