They took it to Wells store room in Morrilton, and burned 1t, after swearing eternal secresy and tideli- ty.

 Among the Acostles' lands

ASHLAND, Wis, April 25.-The heavy gale which swept Lake Superior Tuesday night was disastrous to the lumbermen whose booms of logs were in exposed positions along Chequamagon bay.

shall never know him. 1 hope 1 have
no foolish desire to know him. l spoke of
the harm l should undoubtedly do him in
writing my chaotic ideas of him, neces-
sarily 50 far away from his secret brain.
But l bear testimony in my life that for
twenty years David Swing has influenced
my life. He stayed here. He survived.
He is by all odds the fittest son the val
ley owns He is the father of our litera-
ture. He made his living preaching to
the rich, the Anarchist orators say, but
David Swing says it is a lie. He goes
each summer to Lake Geneva, where the
solitude is awful.
He comes in town to bury the dead.
His Church" hibernates in summer-if
the reader will permit me. He goes out
to lecture as often as circumstances war
rant and writes for the press whenever
he finds the task agreeable. Nobody can
get his fame away from him, for it is
founded in that need of humanity where
every soul looks for his master, and is
gratiied in finding one. David Swing
stands among lis as one who has spoken
many forgotten things. Cleaning from
a remark that / do remember, we may
say it is with him as with old books
which have been long unread. The
words, witty or wise, have passed away,
but the friendship and reverence remain
"a song without words.-John Mccoy

SAN Francisco, Aug. l9.-The steam.
er City of Sydney from Hong Kong and
Yokohama, which arrived this evening,
was expected to bring the details of the
earthquake at Kumamoto, the first news
Of which was cabled from Yokohama July
80. One c%ablegram gave the loss of life
as 5000. Another stated that almost
the entire town of Kumamoto, with a
population of SO. 900, was destroyed. Full
details had not been received when the
City ofSydney sailed from Yokohama.
The newspapers OF that city of Aug. . in
dictate no such loss of life as hat given by
cable. Several late kilograms from Yo-
kohama gave the loss at from twenty to
thirty killed. A japanese newspaper
says. however, that by the great earth
quake at kumamOto on the 2Sth of July
many hills have been rent, houses demol-
ished and people killed and wounded In
the city, independent of the surrounding
villages. Another shock has been ieit
and the inhabitants ara fearing further
disaster. The people have been seized
with superstition on account of the hills
being broken open.
The floods having subsidized in several
districts of Japan, a fairly accurate
estimate of the damage done is obtained.
Nine hundred and thirty houses were de-
stroyed by being washed away or broken
up by colliding together. Forty-one per-
sons are known to have lost their lives.
The Overland China Mail of July 6
learns that the rioters in Fohien, a prov
ince of China, had fed before the APP
proach of troops. Before leaving, how
ever, they burned their boats and imple-
ments. The attack on the China Chu
villages is confirmed. For the loss OF
four or five of their countrymen last year
the rioters revenged themselves by slaugh.
tering between 400 and 500 inhabitants
of the Chin Chu villages, including women
and children.
