STORMS AND TuE SIGNAL SERVICE


The terrific storm, or rather cyclone, that
swept ms n bosom of destruction through
Mississippi during the past week, would
seem TO have been part of that tornado
that so damaged Iowa and Kansas and
Tennessee and Georgia at about the same
time. 1t is somewhat singular that with
the increasing facilities for the signal ser
vice, no indications were furnished to ind
cate the coming blow, and to warn peopl,
OF its fury. II was storm thai

1t was one that in itS intensity and
speed surpassed the famous wrecking cy.
clone which precisely Just one year before
destroyed Monticello. And yet not one
word of warning has been furnished by
Old Probabilities department, or by VIC.

hurricanes, all North American storm,

generally take about three DAYS to travel
from the Rocky mountains to the Atlantic

nature of storm, but its locality, though

the aspects of the clouds and sky, and
by the force and direction of the wind
II Is furthermore claimed that all the
mysteries of natural phenomena un.

intelligible, plain and palpablc. And yet
IN the face Of all these statements and pro
misses, we were left unadmonished of the
deeth'dealing cyclones Of few days age.
Nor are we yet in possession Of even a pro-

charge Of robbery was, in the opinion OF
the court, sustained. Much interest was
manifested by our citizens in the trial. The
court room was crowded all the time dur
Ing the two days of trial. A wild cheer rose
when the decision was made, which took
some effort of the officers TO stop. The
states attorneys, officers of the Texas e
Paclhe railroad company, and officers of
the court deserve the thanks of the travel
ing public, al least, as this system of thiev-
ing will not probably be re-enaoted in this
country soon.

visit the bawdy house of Jessie Dean,
