A SHALL TORNADO.
Much Damage Done to Growing
Crops Near LathrOp.

Lsthrop. No., June 17.-During a
thunder storm yesterday afternoon a
tornado paesed northeast of the city.
1t travelled in the air, the dark, funnel
shaped cloud being seen and watched
by hundreds. 1t struck the ground
near Bryant Welsh's, destroying the
growing crops, fences, ETC., in its path
for half q mile, then bounded farther
on to a field Of oats. owned by Walter
Hussey. and leveIed the grain to the
earth, tearing much Of it up and car
rying it away.
1t was travelling to the northwest
and moved quite rapidly. At q short
distance the circular motion Of the
cloud was plainly apparent. The
path it made was quite narrow, al
though the roaring Vas heard for
miles. A slight fall of rain followed
the cloud. As far as can be learned
no buildings were in its path, al
though it travelled through a thickly
settled community.

A Party of Picnickers at st
L0uis, Struck by Lightning.

St. Louis. No., June 17,-During
q severe storm which came up be.
tween one and two o'clock yesterday
afternoon some twenty-five picnickers
were huddled together in an clubhouse
iu Forest Park near the police station
for protection from the rain which
came down in torrents. They had
scarcely got inside the building when
there was a sharp fash Of lightning,
and then shrieks and means and cries
for help issued from the building in
which the people had congregated to
escape the storms fury. A wild scene
of confusion followed, and policemen
hurried to the scene. Nearly all of
the occupants of the clubhouse were
more or lees injured. one being killed
and three very seriously injured.
Following is a list of casualties:
Miss Sadie Macarthur, age IL
years, dead.
Mrs. Lizzie Golden, badly injured.
Miss Kate Bender, burned and

Hot water is one Of the best among
simple remedies. For instance, head.
ache always yields to the simultaneous
application of hot water feet and back
Of the neck.
A towel folded several times and
dipped in hot water, and quickly
wrung out and applied over a tooth
ache or neuralgia, will generally at.
ford quick relief.
A strip of flannel or napkin folded
lengthwise and dipped in hot water
and wrung out, and then applied
around the neck of a child that has
the Group, will sometimes bring relief
iu ten minutes.
Hot water taken freely half an
hour before bed time is helpful in the
case of constipation, and has . most
soothing effect upon the stomach.
A goblet Of hot waser taken Just
after rising, before breakfast, has
cured thousands Of indigestions, and
no simple remedy is more widely
recommended by physicians to dyspep-
tics.-LAdies' Home Journal.

SIXTY KILLED.
Awful Fate of an Excursion
Party Near Germany.

Berlin, June 14.-A railroad bridge
across the Moenichen, q small affluent
of the Rhine, at Stein ia the canton
of Basic, not far from Germany, gave
way to-day under the weight of an
excursion train, crowded with people,
who we're on their way to a musical
fete.
Two engines and the first car, with
all its passengers, first plunged into
the river, while the second car re.
manned suspended over the stream.
All the trainmen were killed and
every passenger iu the submerged car
was drowned. Thirteen cars were
saved.
The number of killed was at least
sixty, and those injured not less than
one hundred.
The calamity has caused a terrible
shock in Switzerland and South Ger
many. Rescuers fastened to the
scene and the injured were taken
care of.
The musical fete at Muencheastein
was abandonded as soon as the news
of the accident arrived and hundreds
Of villagers hurried to the scene to
assist in Iescuing the victims.
The bridge was an iron structure
which was considered well built and
substantial. The only apparent rea-
on for the collapse is that the train
left the rails and threw its entire
weight on one side Of the bridge.

is now much activity at that place.
Justice T. L. Woodson, aged %
years. died Sunday evening, at the
residence of his father, Mr.. Frank
Woodson. on South Jefferson street.
The funeral took place this afternoon
from the residence. and the remains
were inferred in Ridge Park cemetery.
Deceased was born in Pettis county.
For the past IA years he has suffered
with disease of the spine, which was
the cause of his death. He leaves q
wife and child to mourn his loss.
The disappearance OF Miss Nam
ME Irvine has been explained. Miss
Mamie had gone to Chicago in com.
pany with her uncle, Hon. Frank
Mcdaniel, and did not think it neces-
sary to explain in the telegram as she
supposed her letter would reach here
almost as soon as the telegram, but
the letter was delayed and hence the
uneasiness. The letter explained that
she was in company with her uncle
and would 60 to Chicago before COM
ing home. A telegram from Mrs.
Mcdaniel saying: Mamie is safe. Is
with her uncle" and this followed by
the letter from Miss Mamie herself,
allayed all uneasiness at once.

FIVE HUNDRED BLESSED.
The Priest Physician Kept Busy
Treating Invalids.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 16.-The lit.
tie church Of The Most Holy Name
on Mount Troy continues to be the
centre of attraction for hundreds Of
afflicted humanity. About 500 in
valids applied to Father Molliuger
for his blessing this morning, and all
were accommodated. In no instance,
however was . prescription for medi.
cine given out. The terrible heat to.
day added much to the suffering of
the invalids who braved the suns
rays In their efforts to reach the
presence of the priest. Many suffer.
ers, weakened by disease and long
confinement, were overcome and
tainted. They were revived BY At
tending friends and in some instances
renewed to their homes. This morn.
ing Martin LAWN of Somerset, Nisgra
County. N. Y, a 15-year-old boy
who had never walked since child.
hood, was carried into the presence Of
Father Mollinger. After amounting
and blessing the boy the priest COM
manded him TO walk, which, to his
great delight and amazement of the
vast audience, he did, walking from
the altar rail to the rear Of the church
unassisted. 1t is said that the priest
physician will remain on Troy Hill
until the latter part of the week.
Father Mollinger asks no charge for
his services in blessing the afflicted.
The voluntary contributions, how
ever, that are left in the basket at the
side Of the altar are enormous. The
individual contributions Of those re-
ceiving blessings range from 50 to
$40, and even larger sums.

ME, poor boy" was mistaken. Mrs.
Franklin and her daughter, two great
strong women, asked him to allow
them to 60 back home respectable, &c
far as he was able to do 60, but in.
stead of doing this the well tutored
Canadian Of shoot of . good family,
rose up in virtuous indignation and
replied that he "wss not responsible
for her trouble" and that he would
not father his own child, and rs "he
had other business to attend to"-pos.
sibIy wanted to 60 to church with
his "spook aunt" be "could not re.
main any longer" With that "Miss
Franklin stood with her back against
the door and said l could not get
out" Poor, poor little Johnnie
actually shut up there with three
women and not Q soul to defend him,
what Q shame. How he must have
called out in bis fright and distress for
the "spook aunt" and his several other
friends.
He ''started for the front door but
was seized from behind BY the three
women" and Seeing that he was in
danger he pulled the door open and
started out with the three women
clinging behind me in such q manner
as prevented me from using my
hands: johnnie probably pulled
the door open with his teeth
couldn't use his hends-then
when he reached the veranda, "his
coat had parted and half left behind, -
evidently Johnnie's coat was in
danger, but Johnnie wasn't. Then
this brave man from Canada with one
tail of his coat swinging over bis
arm, hatless, frazzled ran home to his
"spook aunt" and told her how three
great amazons had without the slight
est prevocation set upon him, beat
him, choked him until be was black
in the face-see the aunt's statement
in yesterdays BAzoo-and generally
swiped the ground with him. 1t was
awful, but right here the
BAzoo will say that Johnnie is some
thing of a study in black and white.
1t is stated by reliable parties that
when he was called to confront Miss
Franklin and her mother at his place
Of business he turned CHASTITY white.
when he was "choked" he turned
black in the face. Johnnie probably
freed his hands long enough to take
ont his pocket glass and note that bis
face was black-it certainly ought to
have been, if it was any indication Of
his heart. He hopes that the Gazette
will publish his statemeut-the Ga
zette did 90 and the BAzoo has done
him a iks favor-free, gratis aud not
a cent in its pocket, but in this con-
nection it will say that Johnnie's
statement is about as thin . defense
Of . mean disgraceful Sinking of
justice to one be has wronged and
about as cowardly arraignment of
three women as it has seen for many
q day. Ia ia Johnnie, will see you
later.
