Those in the rear were aided in their search for information by stentorian voiced men who read aloud the names of the saved. When women found that the names they were listening for were not on the list they cried bitterly and turned from the crowd and walked slowly and despondently away.

Others were violent in their demonstrations of sorrow, while others fainted away and had to be attended by the police, extra numbers of whom were on duty in the vicinity. The only touch of gladness to the scene was whensomeone in the crowd heard the name of husband, father or lover read. In an instant the look of despair would vanish and be replaced with a smile and a brightening of the eyes that brought forth reciprocal smiles from those who were only attracted to the place through curiosity. ly the sites of many farm houses have those who carefully observed it were nnanimous in the opinion that it was a turtle which was represented.

The de-vi etruction can not be accurately described, however. Almost anything told can be verified. It is only nine miles from Lawrence to the scene of the disaster and everyone should speedily visit the devastated country.

A number of the families are destitute, nothing being left except their devastated farms. Of the men killed not one had a cent of life insurance. Mrs. Hutchinson, kno.wn as widow Hutchinaon, was the only one provided with tornado insurance. She had 8600 on her house which she should soon receive.

Tho theory of the storm seems to be that it began as an ordinary blow near Perry, slightly moving the Kir-by House from its foundation, and then develoying into a twister, tore down a small storehouse for agricultural implements about a hundred feet southeast, whirling out by the roots a large cottonwood tree near by and then rising to touch the earth next struck on tho premises of William Gephart, completely demolishing all the buildiugB and wounding two of hH sons. Thence it swept on to Baker's, destroying his house and barn and leaving the corn cribs untouched. The current then turned to the right, and proceeding east dashed through wheat fields and timber, mowing a track of ruin as it went on until it touched the north end of Wil-liatastown. In tho woods just enst of the villngo may be seen the evidence of tho division of the awful column. seriously injured (to the extent of losing a limb, an eye, or a member of any kind) during that time.

This is a record which, perhaps, cannot be duplicated by any other railroad in the world. For over a quarter of a century passengers have recognized in the Chicago Alton the leading railroad in the west. Constant progress has been and is to-day the secret of the AltonTs popularity with the traveling public. Every device calculated to increase the safety and comfort of its patrons, finds a place as socn as its practicability is satisfactorily proven. The Union Pacific have through cars to Chicago every day without change.

TO THEIR BELIEF. ter R. Davis was received by many of the members of the institue with a feeling of profound loss. Dr. Davis was the second Superintendent of Douglas county and his influence has always been on the side of education and religion.

He was the first president of Baker University and organized that institution and set it in working order in the territorial days of Kansas. For more than thirty years he has been a prominent figure in the meth-odism of the west and in all his numerous relationships he has lived abj-solutely without an enemy. The members of the institute desire to express the interest they had in his life and the sense of loss they feel by adopting the following resolutions; Resolved, That in his death those who knew him have lost a true friend, a wise counselor and the strong, pure influence of his personal presence. That all who are laboring for the cause of education and Christian citizenship have lost a tireless co-worker. That we humbly bow to the Divine will which takes away the man but leaves us the inflence of his spiritual The People of Lawrence "Will Respond Gratifying subscriptions are being made to these funds and it is believed large sums of money will be raised.

A very large number of the sorrowing friends of the deceased followed the remains to their last resting place. Dr. Davis was 78 years old last April and has been preaching for over fifty-eight years.

He was a Knight Templar and was a member of the first state legislature and a man of exceedingly high mental training. Ho received honorary degree of M. A. from the Indiana State University, M. D.

from the Cincinnati college of physics and surgery, and D. D. from Asbury University. In 185S Dr. Davis removed to Baldwin and organized the faculty of Baker University.

He was its first president. During his life he has been called three times to fill the president's chair, and during the past thirty-five years has held some official position at the university. He leaves a wife and five children to mourn his departure besides a host of friends in and out of the state.

From the point of junction at Evans' the combined column charged the hill along which it swept again and again. Its course here may be best illustrated should one imagine a balloon borne by a swift current eastward, bet hurled occasionally against the stony, abrupt bluff and beaten back by the contest, rebounding far out southward only to return again and again to the attack. When these furious charges occurred, annihilation ensued. Nothing in which was the breath of life could survive mich assaults.

Perhaps before the Concord farmers fired the shot which rang around the world, certainly not tar from that time, thfs inscription told that here the Scs and Foxs had come, undoubtedly ij pursuit of the flying Kaws, and probably that near the spot a battle had been fought and a decisive victory won. Who can tell what savage yells signalizing the slaughter of savage foes, or the fiendish exultation over the torture of heloless prisoner.1 rang through the ais.es of the old tree whose successors were bowed and broken by the elemental war of the other day? The little stream known as. Wild Horse Creek, which falls into the Delaware above Perry, was so named on account of a wonderfully fleet black wild horse which ranged over these hills and valleys before the coming of the whites. He long defied all attempts to capture him, but it is said w-as finally taken by a skillful Delaware, who 'creased" or stunned him with a rifle ball touching or creasing the upper part of the neck, a mode of securing wild horses not unknown to to pioneer hunters.

The next stream which pierces the bluff 8 bordering the Kaw river is called Stone House creek. In the year 1S54 there was for a long time a land mark in existence about fifty yards north of Boughton's store in Williamstown, known as the stone chimney. "Northwest of the site of the town there stood at that time on the face of the bluff overlooking the creek below, a house built of stone, about eighteen by thirty-four in size and two stories high. The creek was named from this building. A well near by was walled with neatly cut stone.

There were evidences of other houses which had stood near it. About one mile farther up the creek where the valley was broader, a large farm had been cleared, -and the ground cultivated. The old field was thoroughly sodded with blue grass. South of the stone house had been a cultivated field of more than sixty acres. When the grass was short, the rails of a fence could bs plainly eeen, though burned in places.

"I was told," he said, 4 'that except for grave charges, such as malfeasance and the like, in cases where the four year term was not completed applicants would not be given present consideration.
