The last weeks storm at Council

can:
sour town and its vicinity was visited
by terrible storm last evening. Phe
day had been very hot and sultry, Their

The storm commenced with heavy wind
from the south, veered round suddenly
to the northwest, and in the western
part of town became q hurricanes
stables, chimneys and out houses Wef5'
blown down and fences overthroWn.
South of town the storm was still more
destructive. Mr.. Creighton's large stone
house was blown down and utterly
wrecked. But the saddest affair of all
was the destruction of new frame
house, the property of the Messrs. An
thony, recently from New York. The
house was utterly demolished. Miss
Anthony "a sister, was instantly killed,
and one of the brothers was seriously,
but it is hoped, not fatally injured. We

FINE Stock AND A MODEL FARM

OAtys lnO tuOIOuSuDECO SAAOIl-L0Hu UulIS,
aged one and two years respectively.
The two-year-old is a beauty in every
respect and fills the stock raiser's beau
ideal of fine animal. The yearling is
said TO be fully as good. BY the way,
Miilar has q model arranged stock farm.
Ia conveniences and appointments for
grinding and cutting feed and deliver
ing the same to stock, distance time and
labor is economical by the use of the
best improved machinery, all driven by
an eight-hOrse power engine. Another
feature of the place is bluegrass past
ure, the seed of which was sOwn about
three years ago. The sod now covers
the ground completely except in few
spots, and by next year it will be equal
to the best bluegrass field III the state.
For house use and other purposes,
water is conducted, by the means of iron
pipe, from an elevated spring, on the
east side of South Fork, to the residence,
on the west side of the creek, with force
sufficient to carry it to the top of the

SONORA SUFFERING
From DepredatiOns of Cow Boys
Serious Trouble Predicted.

SAN Francisco. February l6-A dis
patch from Tucson, Arizona, says that re-
liable information has been received from
the San Pedro river, below the Sonora line,
that the San Simon COW boys are committing
fearful depredations upon Mexican stock
raisers in Sonora. ]. N. Elias, whose lands
extend for eighty miles along the line, is
the greatest sufferer.
The people are In terror. There are
about two hundred of these cattle thieves,
mostly from Texas, and they are scattered
all along the border In bands of from ten to
twenty, and all cooperate.
The Mexicans are arming themselves, and
If the authorities VIII not interest them
selves In Furnishing these invaders. they will
not allow an American to cross the line
along the localities of these ranches, as
they are unable to distinguish between good
and bad. They claim that the depredations
OF the Apaches were not half so destructive
as the work of the COW boys.
A prominent Mexican ranger arrived in
this city to-day with the view of purchasing
twenty stand of arms to defend his proper
ty. He stated that II something was not
done by the American Government to pre-
vent these American marauders from in
vading their homes serious complications
must arise.

largely made up of the same bands who
have given SO much trouble ON the Rio
Granae for years past. The cattle men of
South Arizona are losing much stock from
the same cause. $50

Kindness to Employees.
Neu1 York Grocer


We heard a prominent West Side gro
cery merchant make q remark that if a
man expected to succeed in business he
must divest himself of all feelings of
generosity or kindness to his employees
or anybody else. We do not believe that
this is so. To achieve the fullest success,
especially in a large business, there must
be a cordial feeling existing between the
employer and employed-an esprit du
CORPS. as the French have it-and unless
the employer treats his employees fairly,
and even generously and kindly, this is
impossible. A merchant, by subordi-
mating all his better feelings and i'm
pulses to money getting, may be sue
cessful from financial point of view, but
instead of being man he degenerates into
a money-getting machine, and when ne
has accumulated wealth is incapable OF
enjoying it. This may be success, but
we do not desire that kind of success.
Man has higher mission than this In
the world. He has other duties than to
satisfy his own selfish desires; and his
duties to his fellow men will not permit
him, if be is a conscientious man, to
shut himself up aud keep out those bet.
ter impulses, which will make his en-
plOyes respect and love him. Unless he
has the respect aud good Will of those
who serve him, he will never be we'll
served, and unless he deals kindly and
generously, as well as justly, with those
who work for him he will never have
their good will

The monument to the late Duke of
Brunswick, at Geneva, built at so great
a cost, is showing ominous signs of Civ
ing way. 1t is built on land which rot
many years ago was reclaimed from the
lake. Such land is notoriouslY treacher-
Gus, for often beneath it and only super
icially covered there are enormous holes
followed out by the ice action when the
Rhone glacier swept over the present
site of Geneva. A few summers ago
long lake wall at Vevey disappeared in
the night and left not trace behind.
In the case of the Brunswick monument
every precaution was taken to assure its
safety by placing it on an exceedingly
thick and seemingly solid foundation of
concrete, but it appears only too prob
able from present indications that the
ground underneath is subsiding, and
that the structure is threatened with
serious danger, if not with complete
destruction.

THE FATHERLAND.
How the Emperor Proposes to
Meet the Socialist PrObIem-SOme
Economic Suggestions.

BERLIN, February 16.-The Emperor
Williams speech, read at the opening of
the Reichstag Yesterday, contains an i'm
portant appeal to the working classes,
which may be expected to influence the
elections. which will probably be held in
June next.
The Emperor says the remedy for Social
ist excesses must be sought not only in
their repression, but equally in positive
attempt to promote the welfare Of the
laboring classes. His Majesty says he
hopes the workmen's accident insurance
bill will be welcomed by the Reichstag as a
compliment to legislation against Social
Democracy.
In the same category is bill to regulate
the constitutions of trade guilds by afford
ing means for organizing isolated powers of
pc rsons engaged IN the same trade, thus
raising their economic capacity and social
and moral efficiency.
The speech announces that the bill for
biennial budgets will be again presented
for the consideration of the Reichstag, as
the allied governments are still suffering
from difficulties inseparable from the sim
ultaneous sitting Of Imperial and Provin-
cial Pariaments.

OF the %, $40 breweries in the German
Empire, Bavaria alone had, when the
last returns were made, 1924, while in
Prussia the number of breweries has
fallen from 10000 to 7,246, though the
quantity of beer brewed has not di.
minished. Berlin. which supplies nearly
all the beer drunk in that city, had in
1876 only 40 breweries, but they were on
so large scale that they made, on an
average, nearly 1000, 600 gallons each.
The same is the case in Saxony, where
the production of beer has trebled dur.
ing the last forty years, while the num-
Der of breweries has diminished. Nearly
fourth of the Austrian beer is brewed
in Bohemia, and the imports of beer
continue to diminish, while the quantity
exported is seven or eight times greater
than it was twenty years ago.
