Caninei piatei Men CARPET Ml Tif DEADLY CYCLONE Iowa Visited by a Destructive Electric Storm. WILDE'S MANIA Two Leading1 Physicians Give An Opinion That Oscar Wilde Has a Diseased Mind. Poor Boy Kills Himself to be Free From Svengali A Powder Mine Blows up, Doing Consider able Damage. Sioux City, la., May 3. Dispatches received by the officials of the Sioux City & Northern Railway Company at 4:30 this afternoon from the company's agent at Sioux Center, 45 miles north east of here, tell of a terrible cyclone near there, in which a number of peo ple were killed and injured and much property destroyed. The wires were blown down, and telegraphic reports are very meager. The first dispatch received said the cyclone passed three miles northeast Sioux Center. Schoolhouses near the town were destroyed, teachers killed, and a number of children killed and injured. The whole country in the path of the storm was devastated. The Sioux City & Northern track between Perkins and Doon was washed out for several miles. Dispatches from Sioux Center at 8:30 P. M. say three school houses and at least 20 residences and barns were swept away. At the school houses two teachers and three pupils were killed and many injured. Two women were found dead at 6 o'clock not far from the point where one of the school build mers stood. One man who arrived in Sioux Center late in the evening re ported that his bouse was blown away and his family killed. He himself es caped, and reports that at least 200 or 300 people must have been killed. Relief parties have been sent out from Hull, Sioux Center and Orange City, neighboring towns, but their work is being carried on in total dark ness in the midst oi a tremendous wind and rain storm. It is consequently proerressinsr slowly. . A . number of bodies have been recovered, although the exact number cannot be learned. Everv one is violently excited, and definite accounts a . . : j A MANIA. The Defense In of Wilde Will be Insanity Which Is Hereditary In the Family. Mew Yobk, May 3. A London cable to a morning paper says: "Oscar Wilde is now said by his friends to be the victim of mania. Dr. Forbes Winslow and Dr. Blandford, eminent specialists in diseases of the mind, are busily occupied in investigating the record of the Wilde family and preparing a diagnosis of the patient's mental and physical bondition. It is more than likely that when Oscar Wilde is next placed on trial, .the tes timony of these learned men will be made a feature of the defense, in order to offset the possibility of the next jury finding him guilty of the charges brought against him. The plea will be that he, guilty or innocent of the charge, is a subject for pathological treatment, and not for the laws of vengeance. This course is said to be contemplated by Sir Edward Clarke in opposition to the wishes of the Wilde's relatives. Great secresy is being observed in the matter and none of tnose concerned win tain about it. There is no sucerestion that any of Wilde's ancestors were afflicted, even in a remote way, with the form of degeneracy attributed to him. The I hereditary problem is far more com plex than that. Many forms of nerv ous diseases in parents might produce in the child Dathol02ical conditions that would, unless checked, bring him within the reach of the law. . This is generally acknowledged by physicians and the profession is delighted at the prospect of this point of view becom in? the issue at law. Sir William Wilde, Oscar's father, was remarkably eccentric, although almost a genius as an oculist ana as an antiquarian, Oscar Wilde has long been regarded as a subject of the- form of insanity called by the French "folie ambitieuse" the signs of which are inordinate vanity and thirst for notor iety. SENSATIONAL LITEJKATCBE. The Effect of the "Trilby" Craze Already Showing; Itself. Habtpokd, Conn., May 3. Norton Reed lies in the morgue here as a result of the "Trilby" craze, having committed suicide by taking arsenic while harboring the hallucination that he was under the hypnotic influ ence of Svengali, the bad man of Du Maurier's noveL Reed was 18 years of age, the son of Mrs. Amos Pratt, who, as a widow, married a wealthy shipbuilder of Essex, Conn. A year ago Reed came to this city and entered the employ of Brown, Thompson & Co. as steno grapher. He gave up this place three weelcs ago to become amanuensis to tne Kev. .f ayson Hammond, tne evan gelist. teed was fond of literature, cnieny novels. When "Trilby" came out he was enthusiastic and read the volume until he became "Trilby" mad. Mr. Hammond heard groans in the barn in the rear of his house and found Reed lying on the floor of the carriage- nouse, writhing in pain. A pnysician was called, who asked him why he at tempted suicide. Reed replied: .Because tnat villain Bvengau nyp- notized me. I tried to sing this after noon and he would not let me. The only way I can escape him is by dying. Do you think he can hypnotize after death?" He wanted to know whether he would see Trilby and Little Billee in heaven, and soon after died. POWDER MILL BLEW UP. Fearful Accident at South Acton Today. South Acton. Mass.. May 3. Three miles of the American Powder Com pany here blew up this morning, one after another, inside of fifteen minutes. Five persons are believed to have been killed. The woods close by the mills were set on fire and burned fiercely, threatening the biggest storehouse Of the company, containing 20,000 pounds of powder, and preventing the saving of the prop erty. - - Fifty men were employed in the mills. After the first explosion the imployes in the Corning mills, about 40 in number, rushed from the building and escaped before the flames spread to the mill. There were 10 mills sep arated and enclosed by a high board fence. The explosion in the first mill set fire to the surrounding fence and the flames spread to the second and third mills. : Nicaragua Has Money Enong-h. New York. May 3. A special to the World from Tegucigalpa, Honduras, says; "A telegram from Managua reports that Nicaragua has money enough to pay the indemnity England requires, but not enough to meet the extra expenses of sending the squadron to collect the bill if that should be de manded. "The government of Honduras has made an earnest appeal to the other Central American states for a defensive alliance, saying it is now known that nothing can be expected from the United States." FAIR'S PRIVATE SECRETARY. Story of his Conspiracy With M'Glanflln Co. Denied. San Francisco, May 3. "If Mr. Angus has done anything at any time with Senator Fair's money, whether in wheat or anything else. ' says At torney Garret McEnerney, "it is not only susceptible of proof that he did so with b air s full knowledge and orders. but susceptible of absolute demonstra tion." Mr. Angus was the late millionaire Fair's private secretary and Mr. Mc Enerney is of the counsel in the Fair will case. Mr. McEnerney declined to oe interviewed iurtner. This puts at rest the story that An gus and his associate, Mr. Louis Breese, conspired with McGlauflin & Co., to make a great wheat deal with the dead senator's money. It also taps on the head the rumors that Smith, the book keeper for the brokers' firm, who dis appeared last Sunday, was made away with to hide forever secrets relating to the deal. It is said that Smith has made state ments to some of his relatives concern ing the transactions between Fair and McGlauflin & Co., and that unless his departure is accounted for soon, they will make public what the bookkeeper said. All the attorneys engaged in the litigation over the Fair estate are anxious to know the nature of these statements, but the Smith family de cline to say anything until they are as sured he is safe. NICARAGUA. The British Will Leave and Will Receive Her Indemnity. Managua, Nicaragua, May 5, The mcaraguan government, through the Salvadorean minister at London, hav ing accepted the modified ultimatum of the British government, the dispute between the two countries is prac tically at an end. Orders were cabled from London to Rear-Admiral Steph enson directing him to evacuate the port of Corinto today. As has been stated in these dis patches, Nicaaagua has agreed to the payment of the $77,500 demanded by Great Britain for the expulsion of pro- Consul Hatch and for other alleged damages to British subjects arising from the recent troubles in the Mos quito reservation, but, instead of pay ing the money at the cannon's mouth, as the British government originally demanded should be done, she will pay it in London 15 days after the last vessel of the British fleet withdraws from Corinto. There are other questions of dam ages to British subjects to be settled, but Nicaragua believes if these ques tions are submitted to an impartial commission, the judgment will be ren dered in her favor. Well-authenticated reports, however, are that Chief Clar ence, the deposed ruler of the Mos quito reservation, who is now in Kings ton, Jamaica, is the recipient of six pounds per day from the British gov ernment, and these reports do not tend to allav the popular animosity against Great Britain, it being held she would not take such an interest in Clarence if she did not have ulterior designs re garding him, and it is broadly hinted that Ureat tfntain intended to restore him to his chieftainship, but to do this now she would have to despoil .Nicara gua of the territory formerly ruled over by him, which, a few days ago. was incorporated as a state and named Zelaya, in honor of the president of Nicaragua. In well-informed circles it is not believed that Great Britain will ever attempt to restore Clarence under the present status, since, should she endeavor to do so, it is thought the TT . 1 f". . i 1 i u niceu otareg wouiu luuenore in wuai would practically amount to a confis cation of territory. CALIFORNIA'S OSSIFIED MAN. His Death Occurred Sunday at Monterey A Strange Case. Monterey, Cal., May 6. The death in this city of William Tibbets ended a case which is almost without a par allel in medical history. The deceased was a sufferer from dropsy, but the peculiarity is that he was In a state of partial petrification. His body was as rigid as stone. The pricking of a needle made no indentation in the flesh and all power of sensation had disappeared. Mr. Tibbets was taken to the German hospital in San Fran cisco, and nine physicians made close examinations and held many consul tations to discover the identity of the strange ailment. No relief could be given the sufferer, and two weeks ago he was brought home to die. The end came Sunday. A post-morten exami nation was made, and it was found that the only organs which were in a healthy condition were the kidneys. The de ceased was a pioneer resident of this city and was 66 years of age. THROWN FROM A HACK. Mrs. Orenot Badly Bruised In an Accident at Bosebura;. Roseburg, Or., May 6. This after noon Mrs. David Grenot, of the French settlement, was injured by being' thrown from a hack while driving a team down Jackson street. When near the Deer creek bridge, Mrs. Gre not was taken suddenly ill, and her niece, Millie Strander, attempted to take the lines from her. She suc ceeded in getting hold of only one line and the Horses were turned into a ditch, when Mrs. Grenot was thrown over the dash board and was tangled in the doubletrees and dragged some distance in that manner. When picked up she was considerably bruised about the face and was unconscious, but is believed not to be seriously in jured. . Bchrlna; Sea Patrol. Port Townsend, Wash., May 4. Final sailing orders came to Captain C. L. Hooper, commander of the Beh ring sea revenue forces, this afternoon ordering the fleet to proceed to sea. The cutters begin leaving Monday. The patrol will consist of six vessels. Commander Hooper says his instruc tions are to enforce the same regula tions as prevailed last year. He ap prehends few, if any seizures, saying that the owners of sealing vessels have finally realized that both the Amer ican and British governments are in dead earnest in enforcing the rules restraining certain kinds of sealing in the protected zones. When the fleet assembles at Unalaska in July exam inations for promotions will be held. Much Excltemant at Manarrua. . New York, May 4. A special to the World from Managua says: Volunteer companies are forming throughout the country, and military aids are going and coming in all directions. The ac tivity of the military indicates that a crisis is approaching. President Ze laya has called another meeting of the leading citizens. yet there is no doubt that a settle ment has been reached with England. The minor details are being arranged by Foreign Minister Matus and Brit ish Minister Gosling. England has given some concessions, but the amount of the indemnity is unchanged. Marines have already begun em barking at Corinto. PLUCKY LITTLE JAPAN She Will Carry Out the Pro visions of the Treaty. ILLINOIS SUFFERS A Cyclone Causes Damage to Prop erty and the Loss of Several Lives. The Half-Breeds In North Dakota Defy. Ins; the Authorities Nicaras;uan Affairs Settled, and the Brit ish will Leave. Tokio, May 4. Japan's reply to the protest of Russia, France and Germany against taking from China the Liao- Tung peninsula is in substance this: When China ratifies the treaty of peace at Shimonoseki Japan will re nounce possession of the province of Mantchuria, except that part of the Liao-Tung peninsula extending from Port Arthur to Talien. In compens tion for the giving back of this Chinese territory Japan will ask a largely i creased indemnity. St. Petersburg, May 4. Japan's answer to the protest of Russia, France and Germany has been made. The officials will not disclose the text, but those who expected Japan to yield ex press surprise at the answer. yokohoma, May 4. The Kussian warships lately stationed at the treaty ports have left with sealed orders. It is expected the treaty between China and Japan will be ratified. Washington, May 4. It is believed here that Kussian reasoning is that, by the occupation of Port Arthur, the Japanese will dominate Manchuria as effectually as if she held the nominal title to the province. Reserving Port Arthur as a military base and opening a, great commercial port at Talien Wan, the Japanese will connect the latter by rail with New Chwang, on the line of the projected Chinese rail road from Peking to Moukden, and di vert the entire trade of New Chwang, and Moukden, at least in winter, when all of the Manchurian ports are closed. It would also be impossible for Russia to locate a Western terminal port for the Siberian railway anywhere in Manchuria, as it would be easily closed by the Japanese from their powerful base;at Port Arthur, which would dom inat, from a military point of view, not only Manchuria and the gulf of Pe-Chi-Li, but also Wei-Hai-Wei, only 40 miles across the straits. Nothing is known here respecting the reported failure of the peace ratifications, but it is felt that the situation is critical and that Japan's last concession will not alleviate it. CYCLONE IN ILLINOIS. The Town of St. Charles Visited by a Cyclone and Six Bersons Killed. Aurora, 111., May 4. The town of St. Charles was visited by a cyclone to day, the old stone postoffice building, standing on the east side of Main street and occupied by Mrs. Church as a mil linery store, was blown down and Mrs. Church killed. Two young ladies had apartments in the building, and one of them is supposed to be in the ruins. The other, Miss Augusta Anderson was killed. The falling walls caught and killed a passing horse, and Luke Coster, the driver, was so badly hurt that he died tonight. Charles Johnson and Joseph Thompson, who took ref uge by the side of the old postoffice building, were crouched down to escape the fury of the passing storm when the wall toppled over on them. They were killed outright. It is thought another man is in the ruins. The post- office, or the Osgood building, was substantial structure, but the force of the falling walls utterly demolished it. Andrew Johnson and Luther McCaus- land were struck by flying timbers The former had his back and the latter his arm and leg broken. It is report ed that several other persons about town received injuries more or liess serious. ; OBSTREPEROUS HALF-RREED8. They Fortify Themselves and Defy the Offlcers of the Law. St. John's, N. D., May, 4. The day has been one of much excitement, but ended without bloodshed. Indian Agent Hall, came up from the agency this afternoon, and drove out to the house where the halfbreeds were forti fied in Kingan's house. He urged them not to resist the officers, saying that all who took part in the resistance would be equally liable. Ked Thunder. in reply, said the marshals could not have the men wanted; that they were not strong enough without troops. This afternoon Michael Langden, . one of the men for whom warrants are out, came into town, and was arrested. Citizens made strong objections to the marshal holding Langden, claiming that it would result in an immediate attack on the town. Marshal Cronan decided the boldest course was the best, and will send the prisoner to Rolla in a buggy with deputies. immediately upon the arrest a mounted courier, on watch in the brush near town, left for the half-breed camp. There was great excitement on his arrival. The hali-breeds began dancing and preparing their ponies, and bands started toward town several times, but apparently were recalled by the leaders. An immediate attack seemed probable, and the women and children here were collected from out lying houses. Agent Hall then went to the camp again. When he first went in they were much excited, and claimed he had promised them that no arrests would be made that afternoon. Hall told them he had promised that the marshal would not attack them, but that if they came to town they would be taken. It was the duty of the marshal to serve the warrants if he found the men. THE CUBAN INSURRECTION. Rebels Hard at Work la the Camafruay Regions. New York. May 6. A special to the World from Havana says agitators of the revolution are said to be work ing hard in the Camaguay regions. Spain's best disciplined soldiers are being sent to that section, as an up rising there would be fatal to Spanish rule. During the last war some 80,000 men revolted in that district, and a large column once came very near Havana. Marcus Garcia, the mayor of Sancti Spiritu, has sent- in his resignation and is in Santa Clara. No little im portance is attached to this step. A native of Cuba, and a desperate and brave leader in the first revolution, he is extremely popular in the whole pro vince of Puerto Principe, where he has lived all his life. As mayor of Sancti Spiritu he has been devoted to the welfare of the people, personally conducting all forces in pursuing the many bandits that operated in that neighborhood, which .he contrived to exterminate. The whole district of Camaguay would blindly follow him should he once more desire it. He has been sum- Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. 3.

In Rio Grande, in the neighborhood of Sancti Spiritu, men have revolted and are trying to induce Justo San chez, a leader of the past war, to take command of them. At present the leaders are a Cuban named Castillo and a Spaniard named Quintero.

The Japanese government has unconditionally relin quished an claim to the Llau long peninsula, in accordance with the re quest by Russia, France and Germany. ajOndon, jviay o. a dispatch from Paris says Japan has surpassed the hopes of the friends of peace and even tne conditions arranged by Russia, France and Germany. Like every power who knows its own mind, Japan is prompt in her resolutions and does not seem to desire to nroioncr the con troversy by the adoption of half meas. ures. A St. Petersburg dispatch to the Times says that Japan's reply to the powers, renouncing definite possession of the Liau l ong peninsula, was re ceived with surprise. Much attention is given the words "definite posses sion." if they mean the temporary occupation of the peninsula until the indemnity shall have been paid, Jap an's answer is not likely to end the matter. While averting war it will be only the beginning of a diplomatic campaign. In a leader this morning the Times says: "We welcome Japan's decision with satisfaction as removing a danger to the peace of the far east. Had Japan allowed herself to become implicated in a struggle with Russia the peace of the world would have been jeopar dized." FIGHTING IN NICARAGUA.

It is estimated that the trouble with England has cost Nicaragua $1,000,000. It is claimed that Envoy Barrios failed in his duty by not informing his government that united states Am bassador Bayard was not seconding Gresham's views in favor of a settle ment by arbitration.

Oregon Citv Enterprise: The South era Pacific steel gang, consisting of about forty-five men are laying new steel hairs on the track in this vicin ity, and are working southward. A complete boarding and outfit train ac company the worlcers, and pouna rails take the place of the old ones. said one of the men.

Curves are being straightened out whenever practicable and many new ties are be- ng placed in position, it is the in tention of the Southern Pacific to thoroughly improve the east side road wherever needed clear through to the California line, with a view of making faster time. A Brand New Thing. In the upper country they are kill ing squirrels now with lice. They have tried to give them the smallpox and other contagious diseases, but it failed. Finally they imported a few lousy squirrels, and. now where there used to be twenty there is but one. The lice seem to .eat them up alive. Those caught in traps are lousy and as lean as a match and are more dead than alive. It seems to be a sure cure, and the time will come when they will sell squirrel lice over the counter in drug stores as they now sell bird seed. ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S OPINION. He Renders a Decision Regarding Certain Matters in Which the People of the State are Interested. The attorney-general has rendered a decision in relation to the legality of the secretary drawing warrants on the treasurer for moneys appropriated for the support of the different state insti tutions when the act specifies that the warrants shall be drawn in bulk for certain amounts payable to the treas urer or agents of such institutions, and allows such treasurer or agent to disburse the Bame. The following is the opinion of this official: "In some of the acts passed bv the legislature relating to these different institutions, you are directed, at cer tain intervals, named therein, to draw your warrant upon the treasurer for certain amounts to be transmitted to the agents of these different institu tions. Whether you would be pro tected and authorized in following the agents of these different institutions to audit and disburse the funds set apart for their use, is a question. If the statute specificially directs that you shall, at stated intervals, turn over the warrants to the agent or treasurer, for which the appropriation was made, and you do so. I believe that your responsibility to the state would cease; provided all the claims had been previously presented to you, examined, audited and filed. It is a question upon which there might be a difference of opinion, and which I do not deem necessary at this time to go into. While you might be protected in drawing these' warrants, provided these claims had been previously pass ed upon and audited by you, yet I do not believe that to be the spirit nor the intention of the section of the con stitution above referred to, nor the . legislation immediately following the adoption of the same, which provides indefinite and specific terms what your . duty shall be as auditor of the state accounts." CAPTURED. Thomas Goldworthy, the Man Who Shot John Preston, Arrested. La Grands Chronicle. Sheriff Kilburn. of Baker countv. has affected the capture, of Thomas Goldworthy, the man who shot John Preston at the Virtue mine. The sher iff and a couple of deputies overtook the fugitive at the Horseshoe Bend, about eighteen miles east of Baker City. Goldworthy was brought trf Baker City and his examination will be continued from day to day awaiting the results of his victim's wounds. A report as to the condition of the wounded man states that three of the five shots fired took effect in Preston's body. One of the balls made a flesh wound on the left arm and lodged in -the left breast at which point It was extracted. Another ball fractured the left elbow and made a very painful wound. The other shot entered thd left side and ranged downward. Dr. Dodson probed for the ball, but was unable to locate the missile and could not ascertain the extent of the inju ries. The doctor made another visit to the mine, and upon his return re ported that the wounded man had re covered from the shock and was doing as well as could be expected. Raise Hogs. The Roseburg Ploindecler says: "The swine industry Is destined to play an ' important part in the future of the farming community by reason of the fact that there is money in it. As one farmer put it, when he jingled $20 pieces in his pocket, 'that is the way to market wheat; drive it in on hoots.' And while some conservative ones fear that if a large number go into this branch of business the pork mar ket is likely to be overstocked, still we believe it will be practically impossi ble to affect the market by all the stock the farmers of Oregon can offer lor years. The fact remains that 'there is money in hogs.' Tis more profitable to drive hogs to mar ket than it is to haul wheat over bad roads." Workman Lodge Organised. Grand Master W. W. Brannin, ac companied by Past Master Paul Kreft and Overseer D. C. Herrin, organized a lodge of workmen at Dufur last night, with a good list of charter mem bers. The name given the lodge was Mt.
