The Frightful Storm at MT. Carmel.

A special to the st. Louis Times from Mt.
Carmel, Illinois, giving an account of the
cyclone there on June A, says the direction
of the storm was from the southwest a little
north of east, and its line of destruction en-
braced all of Fourth Street, and a large part
Of the territory between Third and Fifth
Streets.
The duration of the wind did not exceed
two minutes, but the rain continued to fall
for some time after the cyclone passed on.
The velocity of the wind is estimated at one
hundred and fifty miles per hour.
During its prevalence the air was filed
with flying roofs, windows, doors, lumber,
rails, clothing, etc. Much of the debris was
carried more than a mile away.
Twenty persons were killed and many
others seriously injured.
1t being a rainy day many farmers who
could not work at home were In town. The
County Court was also in session, which
brought many people to the city. Men,
women and children were blown a distance
of four hundred feet, as if they were
feathers.
The best part of the town is destroyed
Some seventy families are houseless, and
much distress is anticipated.
There are eighty-five buildings in ruins,
number of them being among the largest
business houses in the place, and contained
valuable stocks of goods.
The loss of property is variously estimated
at from 500, 600 to 100000.

A TERRIBLE drought prevails in parts

over one million sheep. A traveller writes

The incontrovertable testimony offered by
those who have used DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription induced the doctor to sell it
under q positive guarantee. Many ladies
have refrained from using it on account, of
a general feeling of prejudice against adyer-
tised medicines. Let me ask a question.
Are you prejudiced against sewing machines
because you have seen them advertised? or
can you doubt the ingenuity and skill re-
quired in their invention? Again, would
you refuse to insure your house because the
company advertised that it had paid millions
in losses, and yet had a capital of several
millions? Do such advertisement shake
your confidence, and create prejudices?
Then why refuse to credit the testimony of
those who have found the Favorite Prescrip-
ton to be all that is claimed for it in over.

Why submit to the use Of harsh, and perhaps

And then, again, I alter my mind,
And think perhaps it was day.,

For a little child tired OF play.

With a window pushed up very high,
Let some of the seeds Of the flowers fall through
From the gardens they have in the sky.
For they couldn't think here of lilies so white,
And such beautiful roses. know
But wonder, when falling from such height,
The dear little seeds should grow.
And then, when the face of the angel was turned

And are singing to us the songs they learned
On the opposite side OF the SKY.
And rainbow must be the shining below

Right close to the door where the children go,
When the dear Lord lets them ia.
And think that the clouds that float in the skies
Are the curtains that they drop down,
For fear when We look we should dazzle our eyef
AS they each of them put on their crown.

Incendiary Talk Of Democratic Pa
pers in Washington.-State Of
affairs In louisiana.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-This morn
ing the President was visited by the
Attorney General, Secretary Of War,
and Secretary of State, and attention
was given, among other things, to
the condition of affairs in Louisiana.
and also to an article in the Sunday
Capital, of this city, edited by Don
Piatt, which was Interpreted by
Government officers as strongly adj
vocating violence and defiance Of law,
and as such was given very serious
attention. AT subsequent interview
of the Attorney General with the
President, Judge Taft sent for u. s.
Attorney Wells, OF this district, with
whom he was in long and earnest
consultation in reference to the same
newspaper article. The statutes were
carefully examined as to the criminal
intent of such articles. Subsequently
Judge Taft and Dist. Attorney Wells
consulted with the President on the
same topic. The President has ex-
Guided himself from the general pub
lie to-day and receives only Cabinet
officers on business regarded as of
unusual importance. Letters and
kilograms have been received by the
Secretary of War, Attorney General,
the President Congressman and
others about probable serious trouble
in Louisiana, and have received prop
er consideration. II is the feeling in
military quarters that the army in
New Orleans is sufficiently strong to
prevent any outbreak. 1t is not the
impression in Cabinet circles that
any violation of law will present
itself.
