Great Britain is stiff-ring from a terrible drouth. Conception, Mo, was visited by a destructive cyclone yesterday. Three people were killed and several bouses wrecked. Ex-District Attorney P H Winston disclaims all knowledge of the opium frauds in Washington, and says that the man who inspired the dispatch is a common liar. Secretary Carlisle has ordered tbe treasurer to pay the July interest on 4 p r cent bonds aud on Pacific rail roa I bonds to relieve the tightness iu mouey Tbe interest on the bonds will amount to $7,664,010. Eighty seven specie 1 examiaers of pensions have been reappointed, to take effect July 1st. The salary is $1,800. The appointments are for one year only. Two are from North Car olina. A fearful cyclone parsed through Williamstown, Kansas, laBt night leaving death and destruction in its wake. It took in a scope of country half a mile wide and six miles long. Not a house, barn or tree was left standing. Eleven dead bodies have been recovered. Probably 20 persons were killed and 80 houses wrecked. TO PREVENT FALSE SWEARING. An order has been issued by Com missioner Lochran, of the Pension Bureau, and approved by Secretary Smith, that all statements affecting applicatioas tor pensions must be written from oral statements, in the presence of the witness, and this must be shown in the papers. It has been the custom of certain pension attor neys to file applications, using print ed forms, all of the matter contained in the applications being in print, ex cept name, regiment, etc. By this means it is believed applicants have been Induced by unprincipled attor neys to swear falsely. MART STILL "YELLINV Mrs Mary Ellen Lease, of Kansas, spoke at Chicago upon the question of 'Money and Its Correlated Themes.' She said: "The affairs of the nation are in a critical condition. The ex ports of gold are bo heavy that it has excited alarm even in the minds of the most conservative. They tell us that more bonds must be issued. Sink us deeper into debt to pay our pres entdebt. They tell us Wall street must come to the rescue! Many of us recall that other time when . Wall street and the national banks came to the rescuel God forbid that they should again come to the rescue. There is absolutely not enough gold to fill the decayed teeth of the old women of America, to say nothing about its forming the basis of the na. tional money." New Jersey seems to be a pretty bad State for railroad accidents. Ac cording to the report of the State Comptroller, there were 1,719 in 1803, resulting in the death of 838 people and in the injury of 1,621 more. It is true that there are a great many peo pie carried over the roads In New Jersey, but tola u abaci record. THE LOST DIAMOND. A 8 TORT OV TflB VIRBFUS3. lathed ask of evenjng, whan tha Kreat sun has bade tha world good night, leaving behind him a pathway oi c.ioiion glorfj when the timid stirs are opening their twinkling ayes to ssa if they an.ventare forth; whan the owls wake up .and tha katydids begin their twilight song, you see here and their shining in the shadows of tha nfpht tha little lamps of tha beautiful fireflies. , You have seen' 'them often; you have caught them and put them un der k1- gtblets in a dark room, but haveoa ever heard the wonderful story about the fireflies? It Is a strange story indeed, showing where they came from and why they are Always wondering about at night, flashing their beacons to rival the light of tbe eveniag star. Would you like to hear the story? Well, I will tell it to you. Once upon a time, O, it must have been many hundreds, perhaps thou sands of years ago there was a lot of little people on theearth who cared for nothing but wealth. From sun rise to sunsat all these people toiled and wjrked to save money. Few of them cured anything about fine clothes or good things to eat all i hey wanted was gold, gold, gold. Now these people had a king and qut-Hp, called Photuris and Photinus, whom they loved a great deal. Not "ling was pood for King Photuris orto) le-iutiful for Q xeen Photinus. So they worked on for the shining irohi, never glyjing any of it away ex cept as a tribute to their king and queen. Thesj litt'e people beceme rich and powerful Every man, woman and child had piles of gold. One dav a little red headed man came ruauing Into the town with his hat off aud his eyes as big as saueers. "Whht is the matter?" "Tell us quick." "Have you lost your gold?" "Or your senses?" "it is a ghost?" These questions were asked by the people as the red headed man rush ed to the town hall. When he had leaned against the wall and caught his breath, he said: I have found the the the myl how my heart is beating! I have just seen the biggest diamond in all the world!" The people crowded around him in the great town hall to hear more, and he told them how he had found a big diamond in the side of the moun tain. It was bo large that he couldn't begin to move it, or even dig to the bottom of it. Everybody quit work and went to the mountain with picks and shovels. There they found the huge diamond just as the little red headed man had said. We'll dig it up and give it to the king and queen," cried out an old man with white hair. 'To the king and queen! To the king and "queen!" everybody re peated. So they vet to work and dug and dug for days and weeks and months. It cost them a great deal of the precious gold they had saved. The months went into years, the great diamond had been safely landed in the king's palice. The people had all gotten poor Their money bad gone and many of them didn't have.e sough to eat. Poor little people; there were other and bigger folks in another part of the world whom they had never heard of, and one night some of these big people slipped into the town and carried off the diamond. Next morning there was a great stir abont the king's palace when the the diamond was missing. All the people rushed to the palace and when they saw the diamond' gone they wrung their hands and wept bitterly. "Woe, woe, woe," they wailed. "Hush!" yelled the town crier, "the king is about o speak. . A great silence Xell on the people. "O, my people," said the king, "weeping and wailing will do no good. Get up and go search for our beautiful jewel. ' iTake your lanterns and go at night, while the world is sleeping, so nobody will see you and never come back again until the dia mond is found." I When night came the people went forth with their lanterns to look for tha diamond. They saarehed for many summers and winters. And what do yoa reck on finally happened? All these strange little people were toroel to fireflies. That it wby in tha duk of evening you see tbe fireflies lighting their lit tie Uinpe. Tny are ttlll looking for their bH.atir-tl lost jewel by the light of their tiny lamps WILL HUE TO RECOVER. ExU3 District Attorney Lewis F.
