A thoughtful and appreciative audience listened to Dr. De Motte's leeture Tuesday evening on Python Eggs and the American Boy." The doctor's lecture is psychological and sociological, and is the fruit of years of scientific study and laboratory work. The lecture awakens the mind to a consideration of problems of great interest to the human family, problems to which too little attention is ordinarily given.

Formation, not reformation, is the theme of his work. If judicious care is exercised to properly train the mind during its plastic period there will be no need of reformation, he thinks.

One feature of the program will be that Mrs. Swensson will play the new organ for the first time.

Julius the son of Mr. and Mrs. Claus Hawkinson died at his home at Fremont last Saturday. Funeral were held from the home Tuesday at 2 p. and from the Lutheran church at Fremont at 2:30.

Julius first had an attack of measles and then complications set in which was the cause of his death. He was in his 11 year. The parents have the sympathy of all in their sad bereavement. There were many who attended the funeral from here. The infant child of Mr.

All the boys of the school are so anxious to see the ball games on the college field that they want to give up recess to be able to get out a little earlier. The pupils of the City Hall had a vacation last Tuesday when Miss Hawkinson attended the funeral of her cousin who died at Fremont 1 last Saturday.

Some of the boys who play base ball at recess think the recesses are too short but they do not know how time flies when they are taking part in their favorite game. We were pleased to have superintendent Coons give us a visit last Wednesday and he had a chance to see us working hard for the coming struggle in finals. This is his last chance to see us for this year as commencement is not far hence. The 8th grade are busy as busy can be preparing for examinations and are still more anxious to know how they have fared in the tests they have already taken. It is a busy time for graduates to get ready for graduation and to be prepared for the commencement exercises.

Two of the high school boys played ball in the second Lindsborg team and they think it hard luck that they were beaten at Marquette last week. They think that if Albert Olson who used to play on the Bethany team is a second team man there the first team at Marquette must be a stunner A DESTRUCTIVE CYCLONE Buildings, Orchards and Stock Were Destroyed, but No Lives Lost. The cyclone which visited this city last Sunday afternoon about 2:30 was the most terrific in violence of any that have visited this part of the state. Fortunately its pathi was through a part of the city not thickly populated and very few houses came its scope. Its approach was known by the loud rushing, roaring noise preceding it and people had a chance to escape, so that very few were hurt and none killed.

Approaching the city, the cyclone cloud was first noticed apparently directed over the Rock Island stock yards. It first approached the house of Mr. Roe and then Mr. Coover's. Little damage was done at these places as they were not directly in front of the funnel, but trees were torn up and chimneys and windows were demolished.

The barn of Mr. Berkeybile was completely destroyed and his house considerably damaged. The next house in line was that of S. W. Reiff, which the force of the storm lifted a foot from the foundation, wrecking the building very badly and tearing off the shingles.

His barn was so badly wrecked that it will hate to be rebuilt. The storm then passed on north and east toward the property of Mrs. S. P. Fisher, passing through her large orchards where trees twenty five years old, and many of them eight and ten inches in diameter, were torn completely out by the roots or broken off.

All the sheds and outbuildings were leveled to the ground. It then apparently crossed the road to the residence of Archie Brown. The building was picked up bodily from the ground and dashed in- The "Standard" Shuttle Rotary Two-in-One Lock and Chain Stitch combined It has the largest bobbin.

That a part of the family who were in the house were not instantly killed is regarded as miraculous.

An invalid girl badly scratched and bruised and the older daughter received a blow under the right eye and side of the head. She was also struck in the back by a falling stove, but is not seriously injured. The storm revolved again to the Fisher residence which it picked up and moved from its foundation to the east towards the center of the funnel and completed the wreck of the remaining property. The shingles were almost entirely torn off and the house was set down twenty feet from the foundation, badly wrecked -and twisted. Here was where the storm showed its terrific force.

Following the course of the ravine east of the city the storm passed on north and west striking the slaughter house of S. C. Grantz. The windmill and shed were completely swept away. 0.

W. Ross's house was also badly damaged and his outbuildings demolished. of the city the house and barn of Peter Salman were struck and both buildings were utterly destroyed. The family saw the storm coming and escaped into the orchard. It then crossed the section line north and west, striking the house of Peter Hill and tearing it from its foundation and badly wrecking it.

His outbuildings and considerable machinery were also wrecked.The Kansas American, McPherson. Notice. STATE OF KANSAS. COUNTY. ss.
