ty persons have beeu killed by spars
of the tornado in the country, and
that the town of Corsicana, i'll Berry
county, is as badly wrecked as
Marshtie'd.
This storm extended over large
portion of northern Arkansas. The
town OF Ell Paso, 30 miles north OF
Little Rock, was destroyed. Sew
eral persons are reported killed. In
the neighborhood OF Fayetteville
and Dardaneile there was consider
able damage to property and loss
OF life. But few details have been
received.
At the same time a cyclone struck
Rock county, Wisconsin, and de
stroyed cattle, buildings, fences,
etc, to the amount OF 500, 600. The
storm cut a swath as though OF fire,
destroying every bit of vegetali"n
/ in its way. 1t was accompanied 10y
rain and hail. AT Manituwoc and
Kossuth, the storm WAS severe. but
not so destructive as elsewhere. Its
width was from one quarter to one
eighth of a mile long.
Tho central POI ton of Illinois was
also visited by Il gale which did
considerable damage.

THE Boston Herald says the Re-
publican majority in Massachusetts,
has fallen off largely from its old
proportion, aud should the conveu-
tIOn at Chicago put in nomination
man obnoxious to the independent
Republicans Of Massachusetts,, a
correction of the mistake by the
convention at Cincinnati might
change the balance of power and
give the State to the Democrats, as
Tar as the presidential electors are
concerned.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE

1t will be apparent to any one who will or
anime IA solid gold watch, that aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing II large proportion Of the preci-
Gus metal used is needed only to stitfen
and hold the engraved portions in place,
and supply the necessary sol,aity and
stlength. The surplus gold is actually
needless ao far as utility and beauty are
concerned. In james BOSS PATENT
GOLD WATCH CASES, this waste of pre-
cious metal is overcome, and the same
solidity and strength are produced,
at from Is to IL of the usual cost of solid
cases. This process is OF the most simple
nature, as follows: A plate of nickel COM
position metal, specially adapted to the
purpose, has two plates of solid gold sol
dered one on each side. The three are
then passed between polished steel rollers,
and the result ia II strip of heavily plated
composition, from W hirh the cases. backs,
centres, bcZcls, etc, are cut and shapct by
suitable dies and fDrmers. The gold in
these cases is sufficiently thick to admit
of all kinds OF chasing, engraving and
enamelling; the engraved Cases have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth by
time and use without removing the gold.
They are for sale by all jewellers. and each
case is warranted by .pcci;l certificates.

SETTLED BEYOND A DOUBT
No one questions the fact that more
cases OF whites, suppressed and ir.
regular menses and uterine Obstruc.
tons of every kind, are being daily
cured, by DIR. J. Bradfeld's Female
Regulator, than by all other reme-
dies combined. Its success in Geor-
gia and other States is beyond pre-
cedent in the annals of piysic.
Thousands of certificates from wo-
men everywhere pour In upon the
proprietor. The attention of prom>
inent medical men is aroused in be-
half of this wonderful compound,
aud the most successful practitiOn-
ers use it. If women suffer heres
after it will be their own fault.
