TAKE NOTICE!

Congress is preparing to adjourn with
in day or two.
It hob Sa-uaI u0ti..o 49, A. ~~N'nsiS
that it will not tighten the burdens of
excessive taxation during the present
session.
1t has served notice that the swallow
ing up of Sl5O,OOO,OOO surplus in jobs
was of more importance than relieving
the burdens of honest toll.
1t has served notice that the present
OnerOus system of collecting from the
people $50, 200, 900 more than the needs
of the Government require will remain
in foree-believing that the next Con-
gress will be equal to the emergency,
and get away with every dollar OF it.
1t has served notice that the prime
object the majority of this Congress has
had in view was 10 find some way to
dispose Of the aceumulations Of this on
erous tax, so that liberal distributions of
the public money in back districts might
aid them in again securing working

The old crowd hope to come back
next year under the lead of robson
4 Co., and with such leaders, hand on
the knob of the treasury they will have
no difficulty in unlocking the Sl5O,OOO,-
900 surplus now accommodating for their
benefit.
1t is the duty of voters who earn their
living by honest toll to set themselves
free from the grasp Of these plundererS,
and in no other way can they do this
than by retiring to private life the men
who have neglected the popular cry for
reduction of taxation and who have
voted away millions of money for jobs
of all kinds at the bidding of robson,

Convention. 1 give it as my opinion
now that Mr.. GOOD will carry decided

will be an equal division of the county.

Dies MONIES, Iowa, June 20.-The track of
the recent tornado in Iowa began at Jefferson,
80 miles west of Grinnell, went eastward a few
miles, then south and kept that course to Mar
shall county, where it turned southeast and
thence straight to Grinnell, thence to Iron
Ridge, IA miles southeast of Brooklyn Then it
took southerly turn TO Henry county and
thence to Mount Pleasant, where it stopped a
distance Of 200 miles. The velocity of the
storm was about sixty miles an hour.

Premonitions OF the Tempest.
GRINNELL, Ia., June 10. The most terrific
disaster in the history of Iowa is the one Of
which our now desolate town OF Grinnell has
been the victim. The peculiar aspect of the
sky was matter OF common remark on the
streets on Saturday afternoon an hour or more
bsfore sunset. The northern sky was hung
with conical downward pointing clouds, the
like of which none of us had ever seen.
After sunset, and even after darkness was
gathering the western sky, half way to the
zenith, was lurid and brilliant, an unearthly
and ominous sight which fascinated while it
filled one with ill-defned dread. Almost be-
fore the brilliant apparition in the west had
disappeared the storm broke. 1t was accom-
panied with a roaring like thunder, or, per-
haps more like the rumbling of dozen heavy
freight trains. Chimneys, trees, houses, barns
began to fly like leaves. People took to their
cellars The rain came in floods, as if a water
spout had burst, which, in fact, was probably
the case. The wind and rain and binding
lightning continued so furious for near half
hour that it was scarcely safe for those whose
roofs stayed over them to open their DOORS but
the damage was probably done in a very few
minutes, probably not moro than five. The
northwest quarter of Grinnell was laid fat,
and the storm sped on to Malcolm. 1t left
traces from Walcott westward. Farnl-houses
and barns were destroyed and the country
fooi cd, land slides covered the track in places,
but the worst of all was the calamity at Grin
nell Iwenty-seyen bodies have been recov-
cred, and many people are still missing The
Iowa College is almost completely destroyed, /,
and there is no reserve fund on hand for re-
building. The President of the college, how
ever, is confident that they will be able to re-
build.

Adventures of a Body Of Rangers.
Tucson, Arizona, June 20.-Capf. w. j.
Ross, with command of fifty rangers which
left here two month ago, has returned. The
rangers trailed remnant of renegade Apaches
200 miles from the Arizona linedown into Chi
huahua Mexics. They counted near 800 dead
Indians many of whom were found near
the mountain trail They had evidently been
wounded in fight with the Mexican troops
under Gen. Garcia and fed for safety.S The bo-
dy of Chief Loco was identified by one of the
party. On the first day they fell in with the
Mexican troops commanded by Gen. Reyes
and were arrested, disarmed, and after four
days ordered to get out of Mexican territory.
Gen. Reyes informed Ross that inasmuch as he
had authority as deputy sheriff from Arizona,
the lives of himself and men would be spared,
but he mast go back unarmed. Ross demand
ed a voucher for the arms of his rangers which
was at first refused but afterwards granted.
General Reyes stated he had sent Colonel For
sythe formal warning that any body of armed
men found on Mexican soil would be shot, but
he should mako an exception in this case. The
rangers were compelled to return through an
Indian country two hundred and fifty miles,
without single weapon of self defence. Gen.
Reyes admitted that he was aware that the
rangers meant no harm or wrong to Mexicans,
but were after hostile Indians, but declared
that it was violation of international law
which he would not tolerate.
Another Mexican fight with the Savages
Advices from chihuahua City state that the
Mexican troops had another fight with Indians
at Eneinilos, in which fifteen Indians were
killed and twenty prisoners taken; also, that
five Mexicans were killed. The reported kill
ing of Chief Sancho and son of Juh's tribe
has been confirmed.

THE STRIKES.

A General Strike Among Buffalo Printers.
BUFFALO, June 20.-The compositors con-

daily papers generally quit work today, de-
manding an increase in composition from 80
and SO cents per 1000 ems to 33 and 30 cents for
day and night work. A communication was
sent to two daily papers claiming the request
to have been made in accordance with the ac-
ton taken by the printers assembly of knights
of Labor. Time to consider the a5tion of the
strikers was requested by ono of the dailies for
a few days to confer with other papers but it
was refused. The other dailies refused to hold
conference with the appointed committee of
the knights of Labor, but there was no definite
refusal to pay the increase
A few of the Oldest hands remain at their
cases and the publication will be brought out
on time. The compostors from other depart
ments of the papers will be put at the cases
and the places of tho strikers filled as fast as it
is possible to obtain men. There is but little
doubt had the compositorS assumed anything
but the peremptory manner of advancing satis-
factory arrangements would have been made
between employers and employees.
