MGTttfT&BSlPS&SF rlT 17 A DESTRUCTIVE STORM OF RAIN AND HAIL. TREES, GARDENS, WINDOW GLASS, TIN KOOFS DAMAGED. SOME EXCITING INCIDENTS AND NARROW ESCAPES. The rainfall of Thursday afternoon last was regarded as an extraordinary rain and hail storm because of the destructive character of the rain and hail. Our citi zens were made aware of the poi tending down pour from the closeness of the at mosphere and the heavy clouds which hung in the southwest and the southeast. The' rain commenced to fall at a little af ter 3 o'clock, and fell heavily for more than an hour. It was followed by hail for nearly half ait hour, which destroyed all of the gardens and much of the fruit, ilany of the windows on the east side of tho houses were broken. The couit house, school house, city hall and principal pub lic buildings had biokeu windows. The damage to tin roots was considerable. Scatcely a tin roof in the city is without uu hundred punctured holes, from the sharp pointed hail stones, some of these htoues being as huge as heu's eggs. The iiail stones fell with tteinendous force, and the clatter on the roofs was distress ing to weak nerves. Skylights of 6trong glass a qnat ter of an inch thick, were bioken in splinters. The complete destruction of gardens, and much of the fruit, is something se verely felt by our citizens. We cannot particularize the damage, but scarcely any household escaped without damage ruuuiug from $10 to 8100. The glazier, painters and carpenters have been kept busy making the necessary repairs, and the havoc wrought by the water and hail will be remembered for some time. The railroad tracks suffered some from tbe flood of water. There was a wash out on the Santa Fe Railway, three miles west, of 600 feet of track. A bridge and some track were washed out within the city limits; but these damages were re paired by a force of 100 men, and by 2 o'clock Friday afternoon, trains were running east aud west. The Rock Island railway also suffered damage by washing of track between Buckliu and Pratt, and a washout three miles east of tbe city, was 90 feet long by 13 feet deep. Traffic on this road was uot resumed until Monday afternoon. A washout near Buckliu aud Mullin ville was 120 feet long and 25 feet deep. On Duck creek aud Five-mile creek five bridges were washed away, and except one, they were totally destroyed, tbe lum ber belug carried away and splintered. Duck creek was "booming," as a farmer expressed it, and the rainfall was consid ered greater than in the city. One of tbe bridges remains, partly turned round. Sawlog creek was running full where Duck creek empties into it, but we learn of no bridges being destroyed. The wa ter was running three feet over one bridge, but tbe bridge was securely an choted aud it was not damaged. The patticular attraction in tbe city was the flood of water on Third avenue and Malu street. The water ran down in immense torrents on nil tbe streets, but the water shed of Third avenue seems to have a larger atea thau the other btrects. A "draw" runs into thisayenue. The water came down this street with immense volume and rapidity, aud cover ed tho entire street, aud the railroad tracks. The water on the railroad tracks was at least two and three feet deep in the shallowest places. Blocks of side walks were carried down this torrent of water. Foundations weie damaged and soaae cellars were filled with water. Tbe water seemed to flow with fury, and car ried everything in its way. The severe hail was confined mostly to tbe city limits, and the damage to crops was light. Seme of the big hail had "barbs" or prongs" judging from the u umber of punotured places or indentations in tbe tin roof. Some incidents of this rain and hail storm are worth relating, showing some miraculous escaps from death under dan gerous circumstances. Henry Woods worth, who carries the mail north, was coming into town, when the rain was falling the heaviest, and he attempted to cross Third avenue at the intersection of Vine street, when the flood was highest. Bis buggy was upset and was carried down the torrent. The buggy was dam aged considerably, but the driver and horse managed to reach a safe place on shore. Eight of the fourteen cakes of cheese which were in tbe buggy, were recovered at different places down tbe stream. A lot of butter and eggs was lost. The mail sack was found the next morning in tbe woods near the river. Some other thiugs which were in the buggy were not recovered, and it is sup posed tbey were carried and lost in the rafing flood of the Arkansas river. The people who witnessed Mr. Woodswortb attempt to cross the flooded street say be nade a narrow escape from drowning. Perhaps the most remarkable incident of the rain storm was the wonderful es cape of Fred Xeuman from iujiny and diowuing. Ficd waded across Tnird av enue on Front 6treet, and fell into the top of the sewer at the blacksmith shop on tbe corner of the street. The sewer was full of water aud runiiiug two feet of water on top; and Fred was carri ed dowu the raging stream, lie passed through five culverts and was caught by Fireman Lonnie Blinn of the switch en gine, who went to hi rescue; both men floundering itt the water before they reached firm ground. Nenmati caught hold of a sapling which gave way, but a larger aud second tree was heavy enough to eustaiu the weight of both men, who were thus enabled to hold against the tide and reach land without injury. When a person understands tbe nature of the tortuous mute passed by the cele brated amphibious traveler, he wonders how be escaped serious injury and diowu ing; but Fred ran the mill races when he was young, aud naturally took to water like a duck. The street culvett into which he fell, was a raging torrent. He shot through this culvert like a pursou 'shooting the chutes."' At E. E. Smith1 coal office the culvert is opeu aud runs west (the street culvert rutis uoithand south) aud along the railroad track is a rip rap of- heavy stone with projecting sharp points, for a distance of 100 feet, where the passage through the culverts uudcr the Santa F aud Rock Island tracks run almost south aud into the woods on the banks of the Aikausas river. Thete were several feet of water ruuuiug in the culverts, at a rapid rate, at the time Fred made his famous float. Fred went thro' these chutes feet foremost, and bis know ledge of water prompted him to keep his mouth closed while he was under water, and to draw breath wbeu he was floating ou the surface. There are those who say they heard him crying for help as be bob bed up aud down like a fisherman's cork with a fish ou the hook dodging here aud there the sharp edge of a stoue em bankment or the projecting timbers of a culvert. How he could haye escaped so perilous a ride on the raging waves of a water torrent, without tbe fracture of a skin or tbe spraiuing of a joint, is one of those uuaccouutable and mysterious acci dents denominated just fool luck. This unwilling adventurer was four years on the sea, but we venture to say the ocean furnished no such horror as be experienced ou Thursday evening last. Fred says he thought of bis service ou the sea while going on this stream of death; the great mortification came to him, as the thousands of thoughts flitted through his mind, in tbe few minutes he was in peril, and be thought, "What if I have escaped the dangers of the sea and am drowned in a water spout in a dry coun try!' As he thought he was going into endless eternity Lonnie Blinn pulled him out of the angry stream. Comparative Rainfall. The rain which fell here Thursday af ternoon, while ii was destructive in char acter, was not'the heaviest rain that ever fell here, as many people supposed, iu tbe space of time it occupied. The re cords of the United States Weather Bu reau ftuow a greater rainfall within a shorter period of time. The rainfall on Thursday afternoon was 3.04 luches with in an hour's time; the first rain begin ning about 3:CS aud ending at 4:30 p. m. The total rainfall during tbe afternoon and.nigbt was 5.77 inches. May 24 aud 2G, 1S9S, in 24 hours time, there was a rainfall of 5 32 inches. This raiu was continuous and at times nearly reached a volume compared to the water flow of Thursday. But the record shows a rainfall of 3.24 iucltes, on the afternoon of June 18, 1SSS, this Immense volume of water falling in 45 minutes and filling all the cellars under the business buildings. On June 29, 1879, in one hour there was a rainfall of 1.35 inches, but there was no particular damago done by this flood. Tbe raiufall of June 19, 18S8, beats the record for precipitous precipitation. R. M. Wright, the oldst settler here, says be has seen the entire bottom land between the city and tbe Fort, covered with a heavy sheet of water, by heavy rains. Geo. T. Todd, Observer U. S. Weather Bureau, has a tabulated list of the inch rainfalls, since the office was established, and to him we are indebted for our Infor mation. m That Threkktar Hcaeache Would quickly leave you, If you used Dr. King's New Life Pills.

' What A Manilla Newspaper Says. Through tbe cotutesy of Hon. D. Swine hart we are furnished by hint with a copy of the Manilla Freedom, printed April 29, 1899. The Freedom is published tri weekly in tbe interest of the. American soldier and American commerce and comity. It has an editor, business man ager and city editor, and judging from tbe price of the paper tbe gold standard prevails. The paper is sold at 5 cents gold and 10 cents Mexicau money. The Freedom has got out a large speci al edition for distribution iu the Uuited Stated, and for tbe encouragement of commercial relations. The Freedom publishes the following item of news, which will set at rest the story about General Funstoifs famous swim under fire: "Two Heroes. Ed White and Bill Tremley of the Kansas Regiment showed themselves heroes on Thursday. The swam the river, uuder a heavy lire, aud tied a rope to a tree iu front of the rebel fort. The object of tying the rope was to guide the rafts in crossing Among the first to cross the river in the raft were Colonel Funston, Lieutenant Winner, 1st Sergeant Northtup, Sergeant Bridgman, Private Uri and Corporal Kerfoot." Whether Fred swam or swum, it is a fact he was the lirst to get there. The Fieedom contains much of the war news aud speaks in glowing terms of the bravery of our troops. The health of Manilla is givon, and the sanitary department is mentioned as "do ing a piodigious amount of work iu a quiet unostentatious manner." Gutters have been cleaned aud elevated and sew ers put iu. The filth has beeii carried off and dumped into the sea. As Joe Waters said here in his Memo rial day speech, tbe Philippines need ditching machines, missionaries aud Yan kee school ma'ams. litis Yankee invention of cleanliness and health will make tbe Philippines a desirable couutry to live and to do busi ness in. Manilla has a home brewery and offers the "purest and cheapest beer in town.' It has three kinds of beer "Double Rock," "Lagerbier, a kind of Munich beer." and "Cerveza Xegra, a dark stout lager beer, which is of great efficacy for all suffering from anemia and geueial debility." No doubt it is equal to that Cuban liquor after a drunk, the next morning take a glass of cold water and the drunk comes back again. Cigars, tobacco and beer are mentioned in many advertisements; aud tbe Ameri can beer seems to take. Communications and army orders are published in the Freedom. There is uot much United States news given in the Freedom. It is purely local and military. The Freedom in speaking of the peace commissioners, said "a casual visitor might have noticed two very ordinary looking straw hats and two slender walk ing sticks on a beuch in tbe Palace. They were cloBeted with General Otis, and bad come to see what terms could be expected if tbey would surrender. These CJinmlssioners were typical Fillipinos, dark and swarthy, and were dressed iu the Fillipino uniform. The commission ers stated that the insurgents had receiv ed no pay, aud in c:.sa they surrendered the natives would have to be supplied with food for two or three months, as the war had swallowed up all of their re sources." The Freedom is a 5-column quarto, set in very large type. The number before us was sent by Trumpeter Smith, Co. L, 20th Kansas. Mr. Smith is a nephew of Mrs. Swinehart. A Mew System of Persoaal Property Taxation im Kansas. Many Kansas Counties are increasing their receipts from personal property taxes this spring by listing tbe property at its actual value, theu deducting tbe $300 legal exemption after which the re mainder is assessed on the basis of one half or one-third of its actual value. Riley, Pottowatomie, Dickinson and Reno are among the counties which have adopted this plan. By the old plan, which is still in use in more than three- fourths of the Kansas counties, personal property is listed at one-half or one third its actual value, and then tbe $200 exemption is deducted. In tbe great majority of cases when property is first listed at one-half or one-third its actual value, there is nothing left for taxation after the $ 200 exemption has been de ducted. But when the new plan is adopted and the $200 is deducted on the basis of tbe actual value of the property, instead of one-half or one-third, hun dreds of people who never before have paid taxes are caught for a few dollars. Tbe new plan is proving very satisfac tory and will probably be adopted next year in many other counties. The prop position in a nutshell is that the $200 ex emption must be upon tbe basis of actual value of property instead of one-half or one-third of its value. This increases the total valuation of personal property and reduces the rate of taxation. See inside pages for late news. Commissioners' Proceedings, Special Meeting or Board of Connty Commissioners.
