TWO DEAD, FIFTY HURT,®¥ Saves Train A Severe Wind Storm in North St. Louis, Venice, Granite City, and Madison, Ill. at Burning Bridge Omaha, Neb., Aug. 20.—Two hun- dred passengers on the southbound Union Pacific express last night owe their lives to the courage and presence of mind of 10 year-old Claude Nickerson of Valparaiso. The youngster, while walking along the track from Mead, discovered that a long trestle was in flames. He ran WAS NOT FELT AT FAIR. i. miles to notify the station men St. Louis, Aug. 20.—A severe wind | at his home town. storm visited North St, Louis, Madi- son, Venice and Granite City; l.,, across the river, this afternoon, kill- ing two persons, injuring fifty others and doing $100,000 damage to prop- erty. Visitors at the World’s fair grounds knew nothing of the storm until it had passed. Not the slight- est damage was done at thegrounds. The exposition is situated more than five miles from the seat of the storm} and the wind was not felt there. One of the dead was aresident of Madison and the other resided in Venice. A shower passed over the city ear- lier in the day, but there had been no rain in North St. Louis, The sky The express was brought to a atandetill a few yards from the burn- ing bridges by danger signals. The bridge fell while train men were alighting to ascertain the reason for the delay. As there is a sharp curve around a bluff just before the bridge is reached by southbound trains, there is no chance that would have saved the express from plunging ontethe burn- ing bridge. Nickerson, after telling the depot men of the burning bridge, went home to bedwithout mentioning the inci- dent to his parents, and was sound asleep when the railroad employes informed the elder Nickerson what had cleared and the atmosphere had become very murky and hot, when citizens in North St, Louis noticed a dark cloud approaching from the southwest In a few minutes anarm seemed to shoot to the ground like a gigantic cable’ twisting and turning. The end touched the ground at 19th and Angelrodt streets and with swiftness and force swept east along Angel- rodt for ten blocks, then turned north and swept three blocks along Broad- way, when it jumped eight blocks northeast to the foot of Breman street and the river, where consider- able property along the river front was destroyed. ‘ The storm then jumped to about the middle of the river and encoun- tered a ferry boat, which was turned and tossed about, but was not sunk Leaving tho ferry, the capricious wind once more jumped and struck the Illinois shore near Madison, where it demolished several dwellings the Leiderkranz hall and blew down aportion of the Madison cooper works, killing John Ellington. Se- vere damage was done also to build- ings in Venice and Granite City, which adjoius Madison. In Venice one woman was killed and a number of persons were injured. So quickly did the storm sweep through North St. Louis that the citizens could scarcely comprehend what had happened, and in the atill- ness that followed the wind, cries were heard on all sides as frightened persons ran about the streets. Not a telegraph, telephoffe or trol- ley pole was left standing along the streets swept by the storm and trees were piled in heaps. The width of the storm was about a block anda half and houses were unroofed, win- dow panes generally broken, several had happened. Trampsare thought to have set fire to the bridge. More Good Roads Meetings K. C, Star. Springfield, Mo., Aug. 19.—Officers of the National Good Roads associa- tion made arrangements to-day to hold a convention here in September and other conventions at various points on the St. Louis & San Fran-| . cisco railway system, at dates to be made later.

Macon, Mo., Aug. 21.-Doctor A. W. McAlester, president of the State Board of Health, was here to-day on his way from Wein, where he had been called to examine the strangely viru- lent malady which has been filling the little church cemetery.

There have been between fifty and sixty cases and twenty deaths. ‘In some respects the disease resembles cholera and is nearly as fatal. will make a thorough examination. Rob and Imprison Aged Chilli- | Biggest Liar is Offered cothe Man. Chillocothe, Mo., Aug. 20.—Robbed of $650 and kept prisoner all day in an abandoned railroad roundhouse was the experience of an aged rest- dent of this city yesterday. It was one of the boldest robberies in the history of north Missouri. N. J. Pennington, aged 86 years, was the man who lost his money. He was approached by a stranger, who posed as areal estateagent and offer- ed to take the old man to see a cot- tage he had for sale. The two drove to the suburbs, where a house worth $1,400 was shown and priced at $650. The deal was closed at once and the two returned to town and the old man drew $650 from the bank. Before drawing up the papers the “realestate man’ again drove to the outskirts of town on a pretext of seeing a friend. In the outskirts they met two men who held up the pair in the buggy. The real estate man gave up his money readily and the old man was forced to hand over his $650 at the muzzle of a revolver. The “real estate man” took his Before diagnosing it Dr. McAlester He said it might be necessary to send the bacteriologist to make an exam- ination in the infected district before he would beable to name the disease.

Generosity of Two Women, New York World. “Use reward sparingly,” wrote Edward Eggleeton and his teaching, has been put in practice by at least two women who lost their valuables at Coney Island. The account to date stands thus: To one trolley carconductor for find- ing $1,500, a Canadian qubrter; to one small boy, for findiag emerald pin; twenty cents. The magnitudes of these rewards 8 likely to cause a boom that will add greatly to the population of Coney Island. “Poor but honest’? men, women and children will flock there in eager competition to find the largest sum and receive the smallest reward. It opensa new future for the rejuvenated seaside resort.

Prize at Kansas Picnic. i Topeka, Kan., Aug. 20.—The gro- cers and butchers of the state of Kansas, confident of the prowess of the Sunflower state, have offered a prize of $25 for the biggest liar, competition open to the United States. The liar is given 10 minutes, at the picnic August 24, in which to do his deadly work. His lie must be smooth, plausable, and, above all, be a terrific whopper, such as make people gasp. “We will pit the Sun- flower state against the world for liars,” says the circular announcing the competition, “but liars from | Y¥ other states are’ invited to come in and see what they can do.” The people of Kansas have sub- lime fsith that they have the biggest corn and the most unscrupulous liars extant to-day, and say the prize will certainly remain in the state.
