yesterday. Thus it happened that the
Cincinnatis struck California just in the

But the Best Thing Would be to Pop
Cold Lead into their Heads"

The man who pens such sentiments as
contained in the above head lines. is at
heart "TRAIroRl," and would willingly
see the dissolution of the Union and
rejoice when the dissolution came. The
Republicans claim to be the loyalists of
this country. 1t has been and is now
their custom to claim that all others are
traitors, We ask any intelligent and fair
minded man, whether there is anything
loyal in the headlines we have quoted.
The Gazette howls about the crazy utter
ances Of the Okaiona States, and the tele.
gram of Bob Toombs, and the other stall
wart journals join in the chorus of denuncis-
ton. We await the denuuciation of the
reasonable utterauces of the Gazette as
expressed in the headlines we have quot
ed. If there is nothing to condemn in such
rank treason" then let the Gazette and
the rest Of the stalwart hypocrites and
would be revolutionists forever hold their
peace.

perfectly nude and frightfully mangled,
was carried into the depot, ex-
claiming; ooh, l can't die this way"

The body of Mrs. Keeney was absolute

possible to wash them clean.
A SPECIAL telegram of June Ord thus
describes the first appearance of the
tornado: The cloud seemed as if built
up of successive layers Of ashy smoke.
It came on with a roar that could be
compared to nothing except that of an
immense mass of towering flame. In
the brief moments of its passage it
brought with it a darkness like that of
late twilight. Ia its circle it was resist
less. A farmer was coming toward the
the mill; his wagon was torn to pieces,
but the horses were unframed.
