Nebraska Prairies Afire Lexington, Neb., April ¥.—Pra‘s rie fires are burning in several di- rections and it is feared, with the heavy wind, that immense damage will be done. Reports from recent fires ran the damages in stock and barns burned up among the thousands. H. S. White had over $10,000 in stock burned Tuesday night. An immense fire is sweeping toward this place, but ample fire breaks and bose companies will pre vent its reaching the city. Republicans Needn’t Kick. Washington, D.

Dr. James Rodman, Congregationalist of this city, while filling, by invita- tion, the pulpit of the Rev. Saul Friedman in Andover near Roxburg, Pa. on Easter Sunday was reunited wih his wife fiom whom he had be. parted by the Chicago fire while each belicyed the other dead. Dr. Rodmau had progressed about half way through his sermon when 8 middle-aged woman in the congre gation suddenly fainted. He paid little attention to the incident and members of the church carried her into the vestry. When the services were concluded Dr. Rodman was asked to step into Mr. Friedman's private study; there from surprise and joy the minister nearly followed the example of his new-found wife in fainting. The woman had mar ried since their separation by the great fire, but her second husband, Robert Cass, had died. Dr. Rod- man had never remarried. At the time of the tire Dr. Rod man, who was then a business man, was injured and lay a long time in the house of a friend with brain fe ver. When he recovered all trace of his wife was gone. The husband gave up commercial lite and follow- ed the ministry. MAY GO TO MEXICO. The Cherokees Greatly Excited Oyer a8 Proposition From that Gov- ernment. Tablequah, I. T., Aprii 7.—The Cherokee Senate passed a bill this evening designating the chief and treasurer and two other delegates to goto Washington to get the Money. amounting to $8,300,000 due on the sale of the strip. The bill will pass the lower house to- morrow. Quite a seusation is being caused here by the recent offer of the Mex- jean government to sell the Chero- kees a portion of old Mexico in case the United States takes this country away from them. Many of the In dians have signified their desire to go to Mexico and would sell their lands. providing enough money could be secured for them, and leave this country for good. The Mexiean government has a large surplus of lands and offers to sel! them at a low figure. Jake Bartlers, the De!- aware Indian, is here pushing his scheme and has succeeded in work- ing up a great interest, although it is a new idea with the tribe. The dispatch of a few days ago stating that ex congressman Peel Was representing the Delawares is a aistake. He left here before the trip was sold. J. E. Campbell is | representing the Delawares, and al- though he has a suit in the court of claims, hopes to be able to settle matters here.

Great Destrucuion ot Life and Proper- ty leported—One City Blown Away. Omaha, Neb., April 11.—At mid- night meager details from the path of the terrible storm that swept the northernpart of the state late in the afternoon indicates a great loss of life and a terrible destruction of property. The cyclone entered Nebraska south of Souix City. As a result of the wires being prostrated in the immediate path of the hurricane in- formation has only been secured from the edge of the country tra- versed. For a distance of 100 miles fromthe point where the cycloue entered Nebraska in a northwesterly direction to the vicinity of Page, the town believed to have been destroy ed, reports are received of destroyed farm houses and in many eases not a timber was left of the farm dwelling struck. The air for miles could be seen filled with debris, household furniture, timber, ete The great- est interest centers in information from Page. At 9 o'clock a wire was found to work at Page for a few miputete Then for some reason communication was again cui off. The operator at Omaha got this much of a special telling of the terrible destruction of the town. A terrible cyclone struck Page this afternoon. Mrs. Payne, wife of a local merchant, and two children were fatally iujured, and many more were hurt. The Paynes were blown from their front porch a long dis tance and injured by flying debris. Many others were hurt, how serious ly can not be determined at present, though the situation is terrible. Many houses were torn to pieces and the town is a wreck. A torrent of rain fell while the cyclone pre- vailed and—” Here the wires failed to work longer and no further informa tion is obtainable. It is believed that accurate details from the path of the storm will show great loss of life and greater destruction of prop- erty. KANSAS TOWNS GONE. Hiawatha, Kan., April 11.—It is reported here tonight that the southern part of the county was this afternoon visited by a cyclone, and that the towrs of Willis, Ever- jest and Powhattan were laid in ruins. Nothing relative to the loss can be obtained, as they cannot be ;reached by wire. Hail stones fell here large enough to break hundreds of window lights and destroy the prospect of a fruit crop. An East. End Poisoning. Rich Hill Review. Mrs. McClure, who resides with her husband on East Park Avenue, just opposite the old seminary building, came dangerously near meeting death by taking a dose of strichnine, which had been done up in a powder dose and placed among |some other powders which she had | been taking at regular times. The facts of the case as gleaned by a Re- view representative are about as fo!- |lows: Mrs. McClure has been ailing some time, though able to be up, and was being treated by Dr. No- land. The last consignment of med- icine left by the doctor for the sick woman was in powdered form, and when received by the lady was plac- edona dresser near the window. Day before yesterday a neighbor's child died, and yesterday, Mrs. Mc- Clure feeling improved concluded to attend thefuneral. Mr. McClure |who has also been confined to his room for the past two months, re- {mained at home during his wife's| absence, together with their infant child. Mr. Me fell asleep shortly aiter his wife's departure,and as the above mentioned window was raised it is believed that the poison wasj placed with the other powders, as! wellasa quantity being put in al bottle of cough syrup which they | had been giving the child. ie McClure returned home in due time and took one of the powders as she | Cash Capital.

On examination poisoning was| found to be the cause and an ati- dote administered just in time to save his life. Luckily none of the syrup had been given to the baby before it was discovered, it would surely have proven fatal, as the syr- up contained enough poison to kill the child in three minutes. Sus- picion rests on a certain party, or rather parties, whose namea the Re- view cannot make public until more evidence is obtained. One Boy Kills Another. Pittsburg, Pa., April 10.-—An ep- idemic of children’s crimes seems to be hovering over western Pennsy] vania. The youngest murderer ever known in Washington county is Tommy Perks, only 11 years old. | Sunday, with some other compan- ions, he was picking coal at the Fi- delity Tipple at Lucyville. Smith Pierson, 13 years old, was in the crowd. He took some of the coal gathered by a smaller sister and brother of Tommy Perks. The lat- ter resented it and said he was there to fight for them. The two young: | stera doubled up their fists and went at each other. was getting the worst of it. drew his pocket knife, which he plunged into the right side of his antagonist. The point of the blade entered the lad’s heart. He died last night. World’s Fair Notes. The steamer Guildbal, which ar- rived at New York Thursday from Gibraltar and Mediteranean ports, brought over about thirty swarthy Arabs of the purely nomadic type. They are veritable children of the desert, and are on their way tu Cii cago, where they will exhibit at the World’s Fair. The Arabs are accom- panied by their steeds, camels and wives. The steamship Bovie, which ar- rived in New York last week, had on bord the following animals consign- ed to G. W. Sheldon & Co., destin ed for Chicago: Eleven elephants, seventeen lions, five tigers. five leopards, twelve bears, three dogs, four pigs, three goats, four sheep, one hyena, three horses, four ponies, two zebras, sixteen cases of mon- keys, twenty-nine cases of parrote, Pul.ski, Tenn., April 10.—Mrs. | instantly killed near here yesterday | by the carelessness of her 15-year- | old sou.
