A Cyclone Mt Newark.

NEWARK, N. j., Aug. 2s.-A cyclone
swept over the lower part of this city at
2:15 this afternoon, coming with fright.
full velocity and without warning. The
roof of three story building on the
corner of the Bowery and Lexington
Street was torn from it's fastenings and
whirled skyward nearly 200 feet, doing
considerable damage by its fall. The
storm came up from the southwest alta
time when the sky was clear, with few
light gauzy clouds. One
CLOUD SOMEWHAT DENSE AND DARK
came sailing along from the direction in
which the wind was blowing, and de-.
scended on the south section of the city.
At Chestnut Street it crossed the Penn
sylvania railroad tracks and first struck
the Tomlinson Co.'s spring works,
smashing two-inch thick skyIight and
picking up heavy gate in the yard and
sending it sailing through the air. Then
the blast made skip and did not alight
again until it reached Oliver Street.
Facing it was an untenanted long three
story brick building, which was formerly
used for leather mandatory.
1t struck the long building near
McWhosten Street. First the wooden
steps went flying, being torn to
spl1nters Then the brick front, for 3
width OF thirty feet, went in like an egg
shell. After the brick front went down
the blast got under the roof lifting it up
and throwing it down upon Triers
leather mandatory which it adjoined.
The second floor was ripped up and
Wrenched away and laid upon the
wrecked roof. The dismanteling of this
binding was complete. Only few
Jolsts protruding from the walls
were left. the cyclone then
went its way to Pacific Avenue
Bowery Street and Gross Street, below
jackson Street, causing skylights and
shutters to fly through the air. At
hrst the wind was not heavier than that
which usually accompanies thunder
storm, but ten seconds later the volume
was more terrific, and swept over this
section of the city with force enough to
tear roofs like sheets of paper.'
Bowery and Gross streets are
strewn with debris. Parts of roofs
OF buildings have become tangled in the
telegraph wires, and q number of sky
lights bangle dangerously from the
wires. The tin roof of Cashion's tan.
merry on Chapel Street was lifted up
nigh In the air and landed 100 yards
from the factory. Part Of this building
was also blown down. The roof on AL.
derman Heinkle's big double house
on Passaic Avenue was blown
down. A shed along the side:
walk fifty feet long was Knocked
over on the Central Railroad tracks,
fully 500 yards away. The roof Of 2
double three-story tenement house Was
yanked of, and the windows Of the
house were shattered. Several thousands
we're strnck by the flying debris but 60
1ar no fatalities are reported. The ey-
clone covered q, space about mile and
q quarter long and an eighth Of mile
WIDE. No estimate Of the damage has
yet been made.

Another Kentucky Feud.

LOUISVILLE Ky, Aug. 27.-In the
ARRAY at Georgetown, Ky. this morn
ing, A. j. Montgomery, bystander,
and John Jarvis, participant, were
killed, and Burrill Jarvis MORALLY
wounded. For some weeks bad feel
ing has existed between the Kendall
and Jarvis families in the county. The
past week KendaIl's watermelon patch
was robbed, and it was reported the
Kendalls thought Jarvis robbed it. This
angered Jarvis, and when the Kendall
house was stoned it was charged that
Jarvis was getting even. Peace war
rants had been sworn, and a trial was
set for today. This morning NJ. Il.
Kendall and four sons, George, Popsy,
Milt, jr., and P. B.. came to town well
armed with rifles and shotguns and
pistols Jarvis brothers, three in num-
Der, John Burrell and Dade, also came,
but the best information is that only
one brought a gun with him. On
reaching town John Jarvis vent
into the barber shop of Ren Savage
(colored), at the rear Of the court house,
and left the gun. Soon after, or about
9 o'clock, he returned and got it. Just
as Jarvis reached the door Milt Kendall,
jr., who had passed the door, but was
looking back, turned and levelled his
gun at Jarvis and fred, the ball passing
through Jarvis lungs, killing him.
Almost simultaneously Burren jar

Damage by the Storm.

LONDON. Aug. 26.-It is feared the
full tale of the damage done by last
nights storm has not been told, and
there may have been considerable loss
of life off the coasts. This assumption
is to some degree based on the fact that
the telegraph wires are down in many
sections where wrecks are likely to oc.
cur. and that. in the Clyde at least,
number of yachts are known to have
been driven ashore. It now transpires
that four seamen who were thrown into
the water when the steamer pinnace of
II. NJ. s. Pallas capsized, and who were
supposed drowned, were subsequently
rescued by boat from one of the other
British war ships.

Thus, with our big competitors Grin
pied, it would seem as if American
exporters are in position to dictate
terms to the world. There is little
question that this country will this
year get good prices for its product
but whether it will receive the hiph
prices which some of the more enthu
siastic bulls predict. remains to be seen.
We think that bulling wheat in the face
of a crop which will probably exceed
600. 600, 600 bushels. will be found no
ohild's play. even with the expected
fine export demand an accomplished
fact. The ranks of the bulls will be
thinned by the usual casualties before
any such goal as 81, so to $1.75 bushel
is realized.
The attempt to induce the farmers to
hold back their wheat is not, as yet,
great success. We draw this conclusion
from the fact that for the first three
weeks in the current month the deliver.
les of grain at Chicago were nearly
1000, 900 bushels more than year ago
The talk about farmers holding back
their wheat is nonsense. A few rich
ones may do so. But the fact is that
the farmers are poor. They need money
and they are taking advantage of pres
ent prices to get it, which is not to be
wondered at, considering that this d

Faux County Devastated.

FAUnKTos, S. D., Aug. 29.-Ruin
stares many farmers of Faux County in
the face today, and gaunt eyed poverty,
it is feared. follows in the footsteps of
some. Worse than the severest hail or
most blighting frost is the fire fend
who swept his lighted torch over the
northwestern section of the county last
night reducing scores of homes to ashes
and converting prosperous farms into
charred and blackened fields All of the
northwestern part of Faulk County
was thus desolated by fire twenty
miles wide and in length extending
from this city fifty miles northwest, as
far as the eye can reach. The wind is
blowing gale, with the fire still sweep
ing on, leaving ruin and black desola-
ton behind Indeed, had not the peo-
pie fought it hard the town would
have gone up in smoke. Sol Peck, a
poor farmer living near by here,
lost everything in the shape
of grain, and his house is
now smoking ashes. Henry Hausel-
man is also in the same fix and farmers
farther distant are ruined by scores.
The deputy sheriff has Just come in
from the country and states the sight is
a cad one. Men with their families are
walking about looking at what few

and are in bad shape, having losts all
their crops which they had just finished

FURTHER DETAILS.
ST.. PAUL, Aug. 29.-An Aberdeen, S.
D., special to The Pioneer Press says:
Particulars regarding the prairie fire
last night come in slowly. The burnt
district is lying forty miles west of this
city. At Loyalton the citizens fought
the fire eight hours, finally succeeding
in saving the town. No dwellings, were
burned around that point, but large
quantities of grain were destroyed. The
loss falls heavily, coming at the close of
bountiful harvest, the best for several
years. Large quantities of grain have
been destroyed as the strong Wiad swept
the fire across bare fields, aided bv
tumble weeds which rolled like fire balls
across the prairie and fields. setting fire
to everything they touched. So far no
loss OF lives has been reported. That
section being inaccessible by railroads
full particulars will not reach here for
several days. Not less than twenty
towns have been desolated by this fire.

DIFFERENT FERTILIZERS.
Why the Farmer Should BE Familiar
with the Needs of His Soil.

with tho Needs of His Soil.
If the farmer thoroughly understood
the needs of the soil, manuring could
be done more economically and to Il
much better advantage. In order to
maintain fertility the application o.
materials containing proper elements
are as necessary as in feeding stock to
the best advantage. IL more of one
material is supplied than is needed
there is more or less waste that in
many cases could be avoided. Stock
may have plenty of some kinds of food
that contain only certain elements and
yet not make a growth, because other
elements equally necessary are not sup
piled.
So with growing crops. Manures or
fertilizers may be applied containing
some of the essential elements of plant
growth and yet the plants will not
make thrifty growth for lack of other
elements equally important Knowing
what makes up a complete ration to
secure the desired end with stock less
ems the cost and increases the profit,
and in manuring the soil If the needs Of
soil and of the growing crops were
more thoroughly understood much bet
ter results could be secured.
With many farmers the question Of
fertility is becoming an important
study, AS ordinarily managed, even
where stock are kept to consume near
| ly or quite all Of the farm products, it
is difficult to save and apply sufficient
amount of manure to keep up the fer
tility, while if allowed to run down the
| situation becomes worse. II purchas-
ing commercial fertilizers is to be made
profitable it must be done with
knowledge of what the growing crops
and the soil requires, or elements not
needed will be applied, and in conse-
quence there will be more or less waste.
In some states arrangements are
made by which farmer can have COM
mercial fertilizers offered for sale ana
lyzed, so that the elements of plant
food they contain can be ascertained.
This is great help and is an acknowl-
edgment of the Importance of applying
fertilizers understandingly.
The nearer the elements needed for
plant growth are supplied in the right
proportion and available form the bet
ter will be the results secured and the
less the cost. But to do this the soil
must be understood as well as the re-
quirements of the different plants, and
one of the advantages of science in
farming is secured where this is done.
