Fifteen Houses Wrecked and From
Twenty-Five to Thirty Persons In
juFed.
PIrrsBURG, July 1-Coalville, Butler
county, suffered from a terrible cyclone
a few minutes after O'Clock last even
ing. The fact that the village is To-
Gated about forty miles east of the
Shenango and Allegheny railroad, anc
there is no telegraph station there, pre-
vented full particulars of the occurrence
from reaching here until late this even
ing.
The track OF the storm was only about
one quarter of mile wide and ten
miles long, but in that territory great
damage was done. In the county ad-
joining the village many houses were
blown down, Lat as far as can be ascer-
| tanned
NO ONE WAS HURT.
The principal portion Of the ruin
wrought was ia the town of COalyille
itself. a new frame store building and
| dwelling, owned by Frank Bard, was
completely wrecked in an instant. Mr..
Bard, his sister.in-law, and his cle-k, Mr.
Cannon, were badly injured. Mrs. Bond
| was blown considerable distance, but
iniraculously escaped injury beyond a
| few bruises. Five hundred feet south of
this store, dwelling house, occupied by
| Thomas johnson and family, was blown
down, but all the inmates escaped with
out injury. The residence of Dir. Will
liam Barnes was completely swept away,
| not board remaining. Mrs. Barnes was
blown fully 800 feet and lodged in a
fence corner. She was SD badly hurt that
SHE DIED IN THIRTY MINUTES.
A child of Mr. Barnes was carried five
| hundred feet and received injuries from
| which 1t died this evening. The resi-
| dence of Mr.. John Kelley, which CON
tanned nine people at the time the
cyclone struck it, was completely de.
molished, and all persons in the build
| ing were more or less injured. One of
| the inmates, VIM. Herly, has since died.
In barber shop, next door, MIR. and
Mrs. McQuistOn were so seriously burt
that they are expected to die. The only
hotel in the place, the Velso house, was
| so damaged that it will be necessary TO
rebuild it, and the village drug store is
about in the same condition.
THE SUMMARY. .Hi
Altogether about fifteen houses were
wrecked, and from twenty-five TO thirty
persons killed and injured. In the track
| of the storm there is scarcely Il tree left
standing, great trunks being twisted of
like pipe stems, and in some instances
carried hundreds of yards. The l.,ss
will probably exceed $75, 1000.

1t is observed in New York that a
great many country boys who had Sc
cured situations in that city are throw
ing them up and returning to farming.
Nothing could be more sensible Lads
who leave the pure air Of the country
for dingy, cramped quarters, small
paw, and the incessant drudgery Of
city life make mistake, the serious
ness Of which they often learn too late.
Health, strength and ambition are
sacrificed with no prospect of returns
to in anywise compensate for their
loss. The days of working up from
nothing to the control of business
are practically no more in the city,
which is overstocked by boys wrestling
with the problem of life. Fortunes
may not be made by farming, but the
lot is after all happier one, for it at
fords plenty of wholesome food, sutfi-
cient hours Of rest, numerous recrea-
tions, and above all employments it
bestows health and hardihood.

cry, where hope had altogether been
lost, to equal that which was on Mon

ter who had heard, in various quar-
tiers, persons talking to their friends OF
a cure, seemingly little short Of mirac-
ulous, that had been performed. Vim.
Lincoln Curtis is the name Of the young
man in question. He is now employ
ed at HI. X. Porter & Go. S locomotive
works, Pittsburg. His disease was
chronic rheupatism. The enormous
swelling and pain in the joints Of his
arm soon produced paralysis of his left
arm. He gradually grew worse, his
ankles ond knees were soon even worse
than his arms, his cheek bones began
to enlarge, spreading his face out Of
all resemblance to his former self

SECRET SOCIETIES." Lodge Life "
has many charms for a man given to
serious thought. The question is very
often asked, "Are lodges beneficial to
a community, when considered from a
moral standpoint p The answer is
invariably in the affirmative a young
man can do nothing better for his ad-
vancement in life than to join the
lodge of some secret society. There
he can learn parliamentary law, and
many other things Of practical advan-
tage. He sees laws and rules made,
revised and enforced. He gradually
takes part in debate, until he is full
master of himself when speaking be-
fore an assembly, and in time develops
the whole of his ability as an orator
He occasionally has committee work
to perform, which gives him practica
experience in business in time he re-
ceives an Office, and by promptly full
filling his duties may become presid-
ing officer, and can conduct the bust
ness of the meeting with frmness and
impartiality. He learns to love his
lodge as his second home, for there he
meets the pleasant. face of the othel
members, all extending a brotherly
greeting. The fact that it takes
mans evenings should not be an OBJ
stacle, for there is no better way t.
spend time than by being in the com
pany of those who are aiding in reliev
ing distress. From a financial point
the amount of dues paid into a lodg
is so small that it never becomes
hardship, if promptly paid

GIVE THE DOCTORS THEIR DUES
Of all professions none suffer so much
annoyance and go on so many profit
less missions as the medical fraternity.
Called out of bed at unreasonable
hours by irresponsible people who
make their demands on physician as
if they had him hired by the year, if
he don't respond to their call he is
STYLED an inhuman wretch, without any
eommiseration for a suffering brother.
He may be i'll himself; or his family ;
but no excuse is taken. Come along,
it is only two miles, is sometimes the
inconsistent demand. He may be
tired and weary on account OF his
daily visits he may need little rest;
but, like the wicked, he is supposed to
know no rest. 1t very often occurs
that people who SO eagerly ask his
assistance care not whether he is rec
ompensed for his services or not. 1t
they get we'll that is the last of it
Doctors do great deal of gratuitous
work, little of which is known to the
world. They are expected to answer
promptly, but their reimbursements
come in very slowly and repeatedly
never. When We look at this side OF
the question is it any wonder that
physicians are little dilatory in an
swering transient calls. This is the
fair way to review the case, and the
more we think of it the more are oul
medical gentlemen entitled to theil
| dues.

Hot WEATHER HINTs.-Those who

Hot WEATHER HINTs.-Those who
work much in the hot sun should avoid
drinking large quantities of cold water;
it is better if possible to take but small
draughts at frequent intervals. If
some of the cold water is poured upon
the temple, or both, the temperature
of the body will be rapidly reduced,
and with better effect upon the system
then if taken internally. A light,
white hat is far more comfortable
than black, heavy one, and if it has
a wet cloth, or even fresh cabbage
leaf placed in the crown, it will be al
the more cool and comfortable. A
light handkerchief tied loosely about
the neck, will protect it from the sun
A bath at night is very refreshing, but
should not be prolonged.

Your LOCAL PER.-Do your city
papers give you home news? Do they
contain notices of your churches,

hundreds of other matters of interest
which the local paper publishes with
out pay? Do they say word calcula-

and aid in the progress and enterprise
of yotr immediate vicinity? Answer
these questions and then determine
for yourself whether the city or local
paper is deserving Of your support
