THE STORM NEAR CENTRALIA.

THE STORM NEAR CENTRALIA.
Mr.. James Garrett this morning
received the following letter from
his son, w. H. Garrett, of Contra
liza, which gives a graphic descrip-
ton of the storm near that place:
CENrRAL1A, Mo-, May 2o.-* *
* As you all may hear some re-
port of the cyclone that passed
from a South west course to the
North east, about 2 miles from
Centralia, I have just gotten il
from the wrecks. I went out to
see how awful it was. There were
6 farm houses completely blown
away-blown all to pieces and
scattered for miles-Jim Barley g,
John A. Johnson's, Mrs. Towards,
John Harrison's and one or two
others. Every one of John Harri.
sons family was hurt, including
himself. He is very badly hur,
about the head. One of his boys s
years old was blown from the
house and lodged up in the top o.
a tree over a quarter of a mile from
the house, with a piece of SHARP
scantling stuck clear through his
arm, and there they found him
clinging to the tree top. The boy
is doing very well considering the
distance he was blown. They CAM
tell before morning how seriously
the family is hurt. I saw a horse
that was blown over a one story
house and dropped dead some dis
lance from the house. Pen can't
describe, and as l am in a hurry to
60 home I will stop.
Truly,
w. H. GARRETT.

THE pessimists declare that
many of our crops have been badly
injured by the freakishness of the
spring weather. There are some
regions unscathed by drouth and
unframed by frost, however, and
despite the dark predictions the
Michigan fields will yet blush
with strawberries, Dakota's plains
will glow golden with grain, Della
ware will still mold astonishing
peaches the quiet Georgian planta'
tions will be ornate with the dark,
bottle-green embroidery of the
watermelon vine and Missouri will
have splendid crops of all kinds.
The pessimists should stop croak-
ing. They will be as hungry for
the good things later on as though
they had not tried to freeze them
out with cold and cynical predic-
tions.

BEING BORN.
A Third Party to BE Formed
at Cincinnati-The South
ern Delegates Oppos-
ed to 1t,

CINCINNATI, O., May 20.-That
there will be a new party organized
is now beyond doubt. What it will
be named is still an open question.
The naming of the party is just as
much liable to make trouble as a
very serious plank in its platform
of principles. The chief trouble
that the serious men assembled
here now encounter is the thought.

tons representing cities and organ.
lied for the occasion. These city
organizations, with little or no
sympathy for farmers or the grew
ances of farmers, are trying to capt
ure The convention, and unless a
basis OF representation according to
States is adopted they will do it.
The chances now are that the dele
cations win be admitted on the
State basis. This will knock out
the bummers, who are claiming to
represent the cities.
THE SOUTHERN FARMERS FEAR NE
GRO RULES.
Outside of this the largest ques-
ton of politics involved is that of
section. The Southern men are
not going into the third party
movement with anything like
spirit. There are men from the
South quite willing to embark in
the third party enterprise, but they
are not the men of influence, the
men who WELD delegations and
sway the convention. The South
ern men seem to be indisposed to
risk a new party that might in
volye force bills and negro doml-
nation. The Southern men are
still afraid of the negro. They
are not ready to risk the division
among the white people of the
South. As long as this fear is
predominant the timidity of the
Southern men will be palpable
and it will have a serious effect
upon the general policy of the
Alliance. It is a mistake to think
that the South controls the Alli-
ance. It does not, but the North
ern men are afraid to swing mat
ters as they would desire because
of the timidity of the Southern
brother because of the negro In
the woodpile.
There are about sev~enty-five
Missourians trying to make ends
meet here. They don't know how
they are going to do it, but they
are going to try. Missouri brought
out some honors in the first organ
ization. Mr.. Orville Dickens
Jones was made secretary. Jones
lives in Knott county. He was
the Union-Labor candidate for
Supreme Judge last fall. Charley
Cunningham made . very poor
presiding officer. Charley did not
care for appearances and fell down
by talking too much. jones, the
Missouri secretary, is q strong,
reasonable man. who does not care
Tor appearances. He 10 OF Demo-
cratic ancestry. Missouri seems
to be doing reasonably well.
