II would b aimost insulting 70 hint that

those who are dependent upon or derive
business patronage from that industry,
can hesitate about the Obligation they owe

forget that the Democrats In Congress, In

product on the free list. As those who are
thus interested In this industry contem-
plate their present enviabls condition, the
ruling high prices, and their absolute
security in holding on to the whole or q
portion Of their crop for higher prices, and
consider what would have been their
plight If the Democratic free-trads policy
had prevailed, it would be an offense to
doubt that they viii realize where their

But. broadly and fairly considered, this is
matter which should appeal to the graft
tude Of all our people. and especially Of the
propersy-hoIding class and to those of
moderate means who have families to sup
port and educate. Hop growing is already
one Of the leading industries of the state.
The rare adaptability of our soil and eli.
mate to hop production, the excellence of
the product, and the fact that, unlike

Cyclone at Sharon. Ohio. Fully as Bad
AZ First Rep0rted-Many Fa-
tally Injured.

ARKANSAS CITY, Ark, April 12.-This
is the center of the worst flood on the
Mississippi river between Memphis and
Vicksburg. The town is completely
under water and about half the popula-
ton has deserted it. The houses all
stand in water from Gour to six feet
deep. Merchants are doing business on
scatfolds built with false floors on the
levee Capt. Tallinger is in charge of
the Arkansas levee district with his
headquarters here. In an interview he
said there could
BE No Change in Twenty Days
in the situation. The river would then
begin to fall unless unexpected and un-
precedented rains further north set in.
The water now is two feet higher than
ever known here before. This is due to
the great volume pouring out Of the
Arkansas river. Capt. Taltinger thought
that 5000 people were homeless within
thirty miles of this place. They have
no shelter but shanties made of wrecked
houses. The colored people in the town
have
Taken Possession of the Box Cars
and live in them. The white people are
living in freight houses. A party of
track men on the Iron Mountain rail-
road, two miles south of this city, found
the bodies of several fugitives who had
probably fallen from RATS or boats and
been drowned. They notified the coro.
ner, who told them that they had better
leave the bodies where they were. as the
cemetery was under water and there
was no dry land in which to bury them.

THE SHARON CYCLONE.

Many Farmers Were Fatally Injured in
the Wreck of Their Houses.
AKRON, Ohio, April 12.-The cyclone
which struck Sharon township Wednes-
day was the worst ever experienced
in this section. 1t moved
swath twenty rods wide and six miles
long directly toward Akron, but rose
above the surface far enough to pass
harmlessly over this city. Six miles east
of Akron it again struck the earth, and
thence continued it's course southeast for
several miles with unabated fury. In
Sharon township the farm buildings,
crops and stock of Uriah Woerstler,
Richard Brown, Isaac Brown, Frank La
croix, George w. Crane, Abraham Lytle,
Henry Chandler. Chris +. Wall, Rease
Wall, Matthew Bramley, Frank Bramley,
Hughes Franks and Henry Wall were
destroyed in ten minutes. Immediately
after the cyclone passed searching par
ties were organized. The body of Hughes
Franks was found forty rods from the
site where his house had stood. Mrs.
Franks was found 1870 rods further on,
SO badly injured that she cannot live.
Matthew Branlsy was caught by falling
! ler,s house was blown from its founda-
which took fire from the cook stcxS9Ee cxS9Eeck:
hired man rescued Bramley. The wreck
was entirely consumed. Richard S.
Brown was blown quarter OF q
mile and left against stump, where he
was found unconscious and badly hurt.
After passing over Akron, the cyclone
struck the farms of Messrs. Sweitzer,
Robinson, Herwick, Brown, Wise, Hum
baugh, Myers and Callahan, in Spring
field township, destroying buildings,
stock, crops, forests. orchards and farms.
Alfred Herwick, the only person severely
hurt, will recover.

WASHINGTON, April 14.--Secretary No
bic has rendered an elaborate and ex-
haustive decision in the case of the
Northern Pacific against Mathew Rob-
erts, who claimed homestead rights in
section 8, township 8. range 2 of the
Helena (Mont.) district. The case in
volved the rights Of homesteader on
lands within the limit of railroad

made prior to filing map Of definite To-

Homestead settler" could only be ap-
piled to those who have made entry in
the local land office of the lands claimed
by them prior to the withdrawal of the
lands granted to a corporation. The Sec
retary holds that the homesteader's legal
rights date back to time of settlement,
his ruling in the case being precisely in
line with the ruling of the department
in the case of prescriptions made prior
to Withdrawals of public lands. The set
