Over Fifty Wounded and a Property
Loss of a Million Dollars
Is The Estimate.
DAMAGE TO THREE COUNTIES.
Destitution and Destruction Meet the Eye
On Every Hand—Many Eendered Ab-
solutely Penniless-
Kansas City, May 19.—Twen-
ty-eight killed outright; fifty or
more injured, some fatally; and
property loss aggregating about
a million dollars is now given as
the estimated damage done by
Sunday’s cyclone in Marshall,
Nemeba and Brown counties,
Kansas. Further reports may
increase the figures, as telegraph
communication with the stiicken
points is still imperfect and con-
sternation prevails.
The dead are distributed as
follows:
Seneca and neighborhood, 8;
Onida, 6, Reserve 5; Sabetha 5;
Morrill 4.
Seneca suffered property dam-
age to about $350,000; Frankfort,
$100,000; Reserve, $60,000; Sabe-
tha, $50,000; Morrill, $20,000,
and thousands of dollars done in
the country between these towns.
Destitution and destruction
meet the eye at every turn. Many
were rendered absolutely penni-
less.
At Seneca, where the damage
was heaviest, the havoc wrought
was most complete. Appeals for
outside aid have been issued.
Bank Officials Indicted.
Denver, May 19.—The federal
grand jury has found several
indictments against bank officials
and others accused of having
conspired to defraud the deposit-
ors of the banks of this city
which closed tneir doors the past
three years.
John J. Reithemann, president,
John J, J. Reithemann, Jr., vice-
president. Charles M. Clinton,
Commercial is charged with
having violated the national
banking law by loaning Miller
$145,000, whereas under the law
the bank could not loan to one
individual or company more than
ten per cent of its capital stock
which was $200,000.
O. E. Miller is head of the
Miller Hernia Company.
Investigation of Miller’s finan-
cial affairs since the crash of ’93
has developed the fact that his
entire indebtedness to the na-
tional banks of Denver aggre-
gated $345,000. Of this amount
$192,000 was secured from the
Commercial and German National
Banks.
Miller has floated bonds in
Chicago for $325,000 not a cent
of which has he paid to the Den-
ver banks.
M. E. Church Conference.
Cleveland, Ohio, May 19.-
Thirtcen ballots for bishop were
taken ,when the M. E. con-
ference convened this morning
and the convention was practical-
ly in a deadlock.
Rev. C. L. Stafford, of Iowa,
moved to postpone indefinitely
the election of bishops, and said
there was a large number opposed
to increasing the Episcopal board.
Dr. J. M. Buckley opposed the
motion. The committee, he said,
recommended three bishops, and
the conference, by a majority of
twenty-five, substituted two. To
indefinitely postpone would make
the conference ridiculous in the
eyes of the world. Dr. Buckley
said the difficulty lay in the fact
that individuals who had no pos-
sible chance to secure the neces-
sary two-thirds vote for election
permitted friends to vote for
them.
Rev. C. D. Hills, of New Hamp-
shire, presented a substitute
which provided if no election
should result on the fourteenth
ballot five of the highest ones
should be voted for on the fif-
teenth ballot; the lowest one to
be dropped out the succeeding
ballot.
Bishop Bowman ruled it out of
order.
Finally the motion to postpone
was defeated by a large majority
and balloting resumed.
McCabe was elected bishop on
the sixteenth ballot with a plu-

Washington, May 18.—Justice
Harlan today delivered his opin
ion in the supreme court in the
case of Hennington vs. the State
of Georgia, involving the consti
tutionality of a state law prohibit
ing the running of freight cars
in Georgia on Sunday. The
opinion held the law valid.
Justice White handed down the
opinion in the case of the Singer
Sewing Machine trade mark.
Judgment of the court below,
circuit court of northern district
of Illinois, against Singer, was

the name "Singer” as a trade

Is a deep-seated blood disease which
all the mineral mixtures in the world
cannot cure. S.S.S. {guaranteedpurely
vegetable ) is a real blood remedy for
blood diseases and has no equal.
Mrs. Y. T. Buck, of Delaney, Ark., had
Scrofula for twenty-five years and most
of the time w'as under the care of the
doctors who could not relieve her. A
specialist said he
could cure her, but
he filled her with
arsenic and potash
which almost ruined
her constitution. She
then took nearly
every so-called blood
% medicine and drank
, them by the wholesale,
J'-but they did not reach
"/t\\zx trouble. Some
1—1 one advised her to try
S.S.S. and she very
soon found that she had a real blood
remedy at last. She says: "After tak-
ing one dozen bottles of S.S.S. I am
perfectly well, my skin is clear
and healthy and I would not be in
my former condition for two thousand
dollars. Instead of drying upthepoison
in my system, like the potash and
arsenic, S.S.S. drove the disease out
through the skin, and I was perma-
nently rid of it."
A Real Blood Remedy*
S.S.S. never fails to cure Scrofula,
Eczema, Rheumatism Contagious Blood
Poison, or any disorder of the blood.
Do not rely upon a simple tonic to cure
• deep-seated blood disease, but take a
real blood remedy.

McCoy vs. smith.
A good many New Yorkers are
going over to Boston to see Mc-
Coy and mysterious Billy Smith’s
bout. The feeling is almost gen-
eral that McCoy will win, though
a great many people opine that
he will not find the mysterious
one as easy game at boxing as it
was with Tommy Ryan. Mc-
Coy’s improvement as a boxer
and fighter is certainly marvel-
handly, there will be plenty who
will be glad to back him against
Dan Creedon. I think it would be
well for him to tackle Joe
Choyinski first. If he can do the
Californian he can then rest as-
sured that he has nothing to fear
of his weight, not even Fitzsim-
mons, whom he talks of boxing
for four or six rounds.—N. Y.
