Several Small Towns In Kansas Swept
,by a Terrible Storm.
WILD AND PIERCE, BUT BRIEF
At Frankfort Fifty Houses Were De—
stroyed, but the People Had Time
to Get Into Collars—Persons
Killed at Seneca and Oneida.
CONCORDIA, Kan., May 19. —--An0ther
tornado has visited north central Kansas.
‘It is impossible to gather the details be-
cause the telegraph wires on the Missouri
Pacific and Grand Island railroads are
dowu. '
' The tornado started in the northern
part of Clay county, seven or eight miles
south of the little town of Palmer, and
passed in a northeasterly direction through
Riley county and into Marshall and Ne-
maha counties.
It crossed the Blue river at the junction
of the Missouri Pacific and Union Pacific
railroads and passed near the town of Ax-
tell. The little hamlet of Bodaville, in
Riley county, was entirely swept away.
Several are reported killed there and many
injured. .
At Spring Valley, some six miles south
of Barnes, the storm demolished a church
.in which 150 persons Were worshiping.
Many were injured. The pastor, the Rev.
Mr. Mason, had a leg broken. Surgical
aid was asked for from Barnes and neigh-
boring towns.
The storm formed about 5 o’clock, al-
most in the track of the one that visited
this section three weeks ago.
Frankfort Sufi‘ers Too.
FRANKFORT, Kan, May 19.'—The most
destructive tornado that ever visited this
portion of the state struck this city. The
storm came from the southWest and was
preceded by a heavy fall of rain and hail.
The funnel shaped cloud came from the
opposite direction of the wind that was
prevailing and traveled slowly, which gave
the people ample time to go into cellars
and caves, which most of them did. (Sev-
eral farmhouses were destroyed before the
storm reached the city. Nearly 50 resi-
dences, besides barns and outbuildings,
Were totally destroyed in this city. Many
of them were the finest in the city. At
least 200 persons are rendered homeless.
No one was killed so far as learned. Henry
.. Kennedy and P. Cudmore were hurt about
the head. Mrs. Moran and child were
badly injured. The Methodist ”and Chris-
tian churches are total wrecks. Many
buildings are slightly damaged. The
storm passed on the northeast, dealing
considerable destruction in its path. but
the track of the storm is only about 80
yards Wide. It is reported that the storm
also did much damage near Bigelow and
Vleitz. The entire western part of this
city is razed to the ground. Some mirac-
ulous escapes are reported, and had the
cyclone come upon thecity without warn-
ing the loss of life would have been ter-
rible.
Disaster at Seneca.
SENECA, Kan, May 19.—A terrible cy-
clone struck this city at 6:40. The cyclone
was followed by a heavy hailstorm, hail
as large as walnuts falling. About 70
houses were totally wrecked. Five persons
The
opera house was entirely swept away. The
new $40,000 schoolhouse is a wreck. and
the courthouse is completely demolished.
There are few houses in the city that are
not more or less damaged. The entire
northern part of this city is covered with
trees and boards. The loss in this city will
be about $200,000. The cyclone lasted
about ten minutes. The west part of
Baileyville, Kan, eight miles west, is also
sWept away. Oneida, Kan, eight miles
west, is badly damaged: Four persons
were killed. three of them in the family
of James Shearer. Much damage is report
ed in the country northeast of here. This
news is sent from a temporary telegraph
ofiE‘Ice in a field south of the city. All wires
are torn down, and a full report cannot be
sent. Among the killed at Seneca are:
Two of M. R. Connell’s children, one of
Pete Assenmacher’s children, one of M.
E. Vocrhees’ children. There were many
remarkable escapes from instant death.

LANGUAGE SPOKEN BY THE CATS
Investigation Reveals They Have 'Qnite
an Extensive Vocabulary.
Since the domestication of the animal
there has never been a. doubt that cats
possessed a. language that they some-
times employed with more liberality
than the occasion selemed to demand.
But it is a new theory that the smooth
and liquid passages in our poets are
founded primarily on the accents Of
cats, and that the latter is the com-
pletest illustration of vocal and lingual
harmony which nature affords. The
p0pular idea has always been quite the
contrary. But the notion is serious-
ly advanced by Prof. Marvin Clark, who
is said to be a. blind author, and argued
upon with feline emphasis and prolix-
ity. Cat language, he says, is rather
like Chinese, “both being musical, mel-
lifluous and pleasing to the senses”—
a proposition which will command at-
tention on account of its novelty, and
may be concurred in by the cats and
the Chinese themselves, but is certain
Of indignant and spontaneous rejection
by allother animals and men. In other
respects the similarity between thetwo
dialects may possess a. higher degree of
plausibility. For instance, the same
word in Chinese means several hundred
diiferent things, according to the in~
fiection, and Prof. Clark asserts that
the same thing may be said of the
various yowls through which the cat
endeavors to express its emotions.
Sometimes they mean one thing, and
sometimes another, according to their
pitch and cadence, and in the case oi
an error of interpretation on the part
of the adjacent eat there is always the
expedient of battle, giving rise to new
vocal experiments and new misunder-
standings in a chain of unbroken suc-
cession since the first midnight cat ap-
peared upon the first back fence in
history. So far as the inhabitants of
the flowery kingdom have been ob-
served, t-heir conversational habits par-
take of the same general character,
and often lead to the same results, and
there may be a plausible reason for
tracing an analogy between them.
Of the 600 primitive words which the
professor claims to have traced home
to the cat by far the larger proportion
bear a. noticeable similarity to those
employed in the colloquies 0f the origi-
nal laundrymen, and the light repartcc
of the fan-tan table. Butit is not pos-
sible to concur in the theory that they
form the ultimate basis of poetical lit-
erature, or that to unravel them is to
untwist all the chords that tie the pris-
oned soul of harmony. Giving the cal.
note its proper value in the phonetic
and lingual scale, it is possible to con-
ceive another origin for their tongues
and sounds. There is no evidence that
it has materially influenced the devel-
opment Of poetical literature in any
period. There is a trace of it here and
there in verse to be seen, but it is a
mere accidental similitude, a trifle more
marked in. the case of the new laureate
than in common, but in that, too, ”(is
but a casual concord. It is not wise to
claim for the animal more than prop-
erly belongs to'it, and any judicious
cat would reject the pretensions put
forth in its behalf than a much louder
yowl than belongs to its usual vocabu-
lary.-:—Chicago Times-Herald.
