seyenty-six members of the Ar
kansas Press Association registered
in st. Louis. The editors having fin
ished the work of the annual meeting,
started on pleasure trip, making a
stop in st. Louis, where they had a
delightful time, driving over the city,
visiting the parks, water tower, mer-
chants bridge, and some went to the
large breweries; some saw the big
ballot-boX in which the ballots were
deposited during the late teachers
contest. Before they left for Chicago
the Union depot cars commenced
running by electricity, which was an
other item of great interest to them.

The city schools closed for the sea-
son, Thursday afternoon, and not
outstanding the constant and heavy
showers throughout the day, many
parents and friends turned out to
witness the closing exercises of the
several schools, which were of the
usual character-songs, Rotations,
etc. The large number of children
attending these schools were in differ
ent moods, some jubilant at the
thought of freedom from study and
discipline, others sorrowful because
they would not for several months
enjoy the pleasant companionship of
playmates. The closing exercises of
the Scott-street High School took
place at Glenwood Park, Thursday
evening. Music and an address by
the Rev. DR.. Chapman, with a saluta-
tory by Flora Willard and valedictory
by Estelle Galloway, awarding of
diplomas and benediction, constituted
the program. The class was COM

A Tariff Poem.

From the KiagBlda (Kdit.) Democrat
He sat at his door at MONDAY, lonely aud
gloomy and sad, brooding over the price of
MS corn crop and figuring how much he
had. He had worked from early spring
time, early and late and hard, and he was
counting mis- assets and jguring out his re-
ward. He figured that it took two acres to
buy his two boys new boots, and ten acres
more on top of this to fit them out with new
suits To buy lis wife q protected dress
took 100 bushels more, while five acres went
in solid lump for the carpet on the floor
his tax and his grocery bill absorbed his
crop of oats. while the interest on his farm
mortgage took all his fattened sheats. The
shingles on his cowshed and the lumber for
his barn had eaten up his beef steers and the
balance of his corn. So he sat in his door at
MONDAY, lonely and gloomy ana sore. as
he figured up his wealth little less than it
was the year before. "Bv gum, they say

gan, the full force of the storm
was expended in the Blue Grass
state and the Ohio valley. Already
the wires have told pathetic tales Of the
disaster at Louisville; the piles of dead
among the heaps of debris, the thousands of
manned and suffering victims filling the
hospitals; the clean swath Of the giant

river, moving down nearly 200 buildings
rs though they were but stubble in its path.
1t Is an appalling record, and coming so
swiftly after the disasters in the flooded dis
tricts of the Mississippi from Cairo to the
delto may well excite the sympathy OF the
entire country for the stricken west.
1t will be a fortunate thing if these storms
are not the precursors of even greater dam
gers. The signal office some time ago
issued warming to the jewellers along the
lower Mississippi valley, foreshadowing

This has been a season of unprecedented

Tornadoes have passed over the lower lakes,

south they have till lately been rather free
from tornadoes, and with the exception of
a storm in the Mississippi valley some two
weeks ago, this is the first serious storm
of the year that has passed over there
But its after effects may be still
more serious, as far as the Mississippi

81 was good deal with Finley when he
was out in Kansas said Col. Stevens of
Kansas City, yesterday, land took deep
interest in his investigations. remember
particularly that he had about concluded
that there was no electricity in cyclones or
tornadoes. He had doubtless heard of the
experiments by an Ann Arbor professor
who claimed that these disturbances were
electrical, and that he could. by means of
copper plate and electric apparatus under
meath, produce all the cyclonic phenomena
on a small scale. including even the atmos-
pheric whirl. These theories were discarded
by Finley, who dealt with natures own
forces out on the plains, and not with deli
cate apparatus in room.

nadoes almost invariably follow in the track
of a severe storm, and go in a northeast
erly direction. Their velocity varies from
fifty to possibly as high as $50 miles an hour
I'm the present case, the storm phenomena
were something almost unheard of. There
was a procession of tornadoes following
each other closely through Kansas. Mis-

line parallel to that of the great cyclonic
storm which was moving in the same direc-

northward of the tornado track. These
tornadoes, driving along with a gyratory

common center at Louisville and the sur
rounding portion of the Ohio valley"
Such is the speed of a tornado that its du-
