ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. Sat 6 o'clock
last evening great black funnel
shaped cloud, fringed with electric fire,
In the center of which was a roaring,
seething mass struck Fayetteville, and
dwellings, churches and public build
ings were swept away and several per-
sons killed.
At the home of Mrs. A. ]. Henderson
the family were gathered. Mrs. Hen
derson, Mrs. Travis, her daughter, Will
Travis and his two children formed the
group. The building shook little and
Travis stepped TO the door to see what
it meant Just as he stepped upon the
porch the cvcione came down upon the
house. The roof was taken off and
then the floor was wrenched away and
the inmates and contents were left
within the walls upon the bare ground.
Mrs. Henderson was badly and Mrs.
Travis and the children were seriously
injured
Search was made for Travis, but he
was not found until o'clock, when
his remains were picked up in an old
field 100 yards from the residence. Both
legs and arms were broken and his ribs
crushed in.
Twelve people were sitting together
at the residence of j. w. Graham The
cyclone struck the h use and the walls
were crushed and the roof and ceiling
torn away. The chimney tottered anG
fell Beneath the pile of debris one
member of the family group was
buried, Sallie Kate Graham, aged g.
All the other members of the family
were injured.
After the storm had passed away
somebody picked up little dead negro
child Whose it was or where it came
from nobody knows.
Thirty residences. the pub ic academy
and the alliance warehouse were des-
troyed Many other buildings were
seriously damaged. The residence of
Mr.. Knox was destroyed and he and
Mrs Knox were injured.

FEARFUL EXPLOSION.
Miners Entombed By An Explosion
at McAlester.
Nearly Three-Score Dead Taken From the
Fatal Pit and Twice Many In
juredOTerrible Cyclone In
Georgia.
Fatal Mine Explosion.

McALEsTER, T., Jan AT $40 p.
m. Thursday mine No II. owned by
the Usage Coal e. Mining Co at Krebs,
four and one-half miles east of here,
exploded
At the time $50 men were in the
shaft, most of whom were waiting for
the cage to take them out, and the foot
of the shaft is one mass of dead bodies.
Eighty-ive came out by an old entry
and forty-two were saved by the shaft,
mo t of whom are more or less burned
and bruised, and half will proba bly, die.
This leaves about 223 men yet in the
mine, and in all probability 200 are
dead.
McALEsTER, !. T., Jan. 12-An the
bodies have been taken out of the
mines, and the list stands now: Fifty
eight dead and III wounded, five of
whom will surely die. 1t was sad
sight to see the funeral procession
which conveyed the unfortunate miners
to their last resting place, most of
whom were laid side by side. the larg-
est funeral being that of George Lind
sey AMI son, who were very popular.
The Catholic and other two churches
were scenes of succession of services
yesterday.
At Krebs twenty five men have been
digging graves since Friiay, night and
day, and it was necessary to no d eight
of the bodies, the graves not being
ready. In an interview William Came
ron, superintendent of the Mines said:
''Thirty-niue men were killed in the
mine and eighteen have died since. The
company can in no way be held re-
sponsible for the explosion, as the
mine has been carefully examined by
experts, who claim the ventila-
ton was good and there was no
gas in any part of the mine. The
fault was in the entry man firing his
shots contrary to orders, which were
not to be fred until $50 p. m, when
all the men would be out of the mine.
The fan never stopped running and the
1876 live men were taken out within
seven hours after the explosion. thus
showing splendid management. The
mines will be clear within ten days and
it will take i5G carloads of slate and
rock to clear the first passage.
One hundred survivors of the terrible
disaster who are reported living are
lying at deaths door, swathed in cot
ton and vaseline to the eyes, with their
hair and finger nails burned from their
bodies and the cooked flesh dropping
from their bones.
The dead men were of all nationali-
ties, American. Irish. Scotch, Welsh,
Polanders, Italians and Swedes. ALI

Delayed Information.

John Bobbltt, Of Winfield, Kansas,
writes as follows to Father Mcintyre,
of the Arkansas City democrat. 1t is
a bit of humor which all Kansas demo-
Gratis Will appreciates: Dear Sir and
Friend-I am all broken up on politics.
The democratic convention at Topeka
Endorsed the peoples party ticket from
top to bottom and, after due consider
alton, concluded that it was all right
and that it was the proper thing to do.
But after l had hung out my flag for
Lewelling and the other fellows, evil
dence began to accumulate from repub-
lican sources that the democratic party
had always been party of principle;
that 1T had been a brave. courageous,
patriotic party; and some republican
papers go so far as to intimate that the
democratic party was loyal, and that
individual democrats drank very little
whisky, and never did steal a horse.
No, never! That we were good read
ers, and didn't stick out our tongues
when we write. Now then, can you
wonder, that when l find all these vir-
tues ascribed to the democratic party
by the republicans of Kansas, whose
veracity we (never) doubted, am dis
consulate for having even temporarily
abandoned such party, for the pur-
pose of defeating the republican party,
~ several of my republican friends
have asstirs:a, me that they felt just as
had about it as I diG,. However if the
republicans are defeated, thsy VIII
have no one to blame but themselves.
They should have impaired this lnfor-
nation to us sooner"

That First Dollar.o

"It would be curious and interesting
to know how certain of our great capt.
aIists earned their first dollar" say
William James Lilley, IN his book,
masters of the Situation"
To me it is vastly mole curious and
interesting to know how they got pos
session of their subsequent ones. They
did not earn" them, that's plain.
He goes on to state: 1.-The revenue
required for the wardrobe Of one wom-
an of fashion would suffice to convert
the inhabitants Of many spare miles in
Africa"
Very likely. Did she learn" her
wardrobe, or did some one else earn it
for her?
If the latter, then how did she get
possession of it?
This, to me, is the interesting ques-
ton.
1t is perfectly natural to hear of our
rich men sleeping under the counter"
and Living on bread and milk" while
learning their first dollar"
Perfectly natural to learn that they
had to work for their first money. That
comes right home to us all and sounds
perfectly natural; but how about their
after "earnings?"
drama to US. Not how they earned
their first dollar" Don't tell us any
more OF this, for we have heard Of it a
thousand times, but how they got mil
lions afterward without earning" IS
what is interesting to us.
What they faithfully earn-d them
selves we certainly think they had q
right to, and we are not SO very much
interested in this, because it Is very
common thing for men to learn" mon
ey, and thus get it; but how in the
dickens men can get hold of millions of
the earnings of other people, that is
what society is interested in knowing
that is what political economy would be
glad to hear fully enunciated. Give us
the minute of that.
We are all ears to hear.
There is nothing strange in Gould
starting out to sell maps. Hundreds of
others have done the same.
Nothing remarkable about A. Il.
Stewart carrying pack. Many other
pedlars are seen doing that, but how
much profit he exacted, and how many
lies he told to evade detection and COW
er up his eXtortion IN his after life would
be interesting and profitable to know.
1t is tolerably we'll known now that
Stewart was member OF The Univer-
sal Great Red Dragon.
Gould sold maps. Nothing wrong in
that. He started poor-that's exceed
ingly commonplace; but how did he get
the control of $500, 600 900 of property?
| others property. That's, that's, that
what would be interesting to know.
Was he little Hatchet Washington,
that never told lie?

Wichita Reunion.

The Wichita reunion was a grand
success in point of numbers. 1t was
parade-day for republican candidates
and speakers. The republican party
was upheld, the democrats slurred and
the populists openly and bitterly de-
nounced as fools and madmen by Cor
pOral Tanner and other speakers. Jerry
simpson was the special object of as
sault, and even the despicable TheOdO-
sius Botkin had the gall to denounce
Jerry as though he was In position to
denounce any one with particle of de-
cency.
They announced Jerry, Weaver, PEI
fer and others, thus attracting people
there from so and 100 miles, then fail
ed to notify the speakers, and brought
up instead berating partisan repub-
licans.
When Jerry did unexpectedly appear
on the scene he was derided and threat
ened by some, though called for by 9TH
ers. The whole scheme was disgusting
and unfair to say the least, and shows
the desperate straits into which the re-
publican party are driven.
We say, all honor to the boys in blue,
and believe that most of them are hon.
est and true, but when their gatherings
are manipulated by political tricksters,
and the old soldiers are blindfoIded and
made dish-washers for party, republic
can in name but not in principle, it IS
time to ask if some of the blue coats
hayn't become dimmed with the dust Of
party prejudice.
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1892-08-24

Was he model of integrity, and hon.
or, and uprightness, and fairness, and
truth in all his dealings?
Did he always sell at fair profit and
never prevaricate?
Always gave three feet for yard and
Is ounces for a poundp
Did he never stoop to extortion in all
his career? Never misrepresent in his
trades? Always fair out, and straight
out; of high moral tone; above mean,
low, groveling act?
These are the things that are highly
interesting to US. because, how q man
can be thus and get possession of $780,
OO0, 600 of the national inheritance is
interesting.
Therefore, if our authors, writing for
the benefit of our boys and girls, would
ftell less about the first dollar" and
more about the subsequent ones, they
would strike better kev-their music
would be vastly more entertaining, and
more harmony and melody would flow
to mankind in general from the songs
they sing. Here is an unoccupied realm
of authorship that might develop the
hidden cause of many untlmely wrink-
les. heart disease, backache, tears and
crime.
In the eyes of the authors that would
be the instructors of our youth, a rich
man always became so because Of his
superior virtues.
Some of us are rash enough to at
least call for the inside testimony after
the first dollar" was made,

Not British Free Trade.

st. Louis Republic: "With many
men an epithet is worth more than an
argument; a trick which is soon discov-
ed by those who are scant Of argu-
ments. The average protectionist
speaker never evokes more applause
from the heels Of a protectionist audi
ence than than when he denounces tar
if reform as British free trade. When
he has thus summed up the tariff con-
troversy he believes he has ended it al
together and that the last word has
been said. Now If there be any shad-
owy argument behind this denuncia-
ton it is that any fiscal policy adopted
by England IS necessarily an Odious
and unworthy policy. Yet this same
man in the same speech would unhesi-
tatingly quote British example and pre-
cedent in favor of any other scheme
he might be advocating. This was il
Illustrated in the last congress when the
bill to subsidize merchant marine was
before the house. In the same way
British financial policies, British postal
sayings banks, British rural main de-
livery are constantly held UP for our in
structIon and imitation; but when it
comes to trade and commerce, the very
field where English experience ought to
be richest i'll instruction and where the
craftsmanship of England has been
most thoroughly trained in the school
of experience, we are told that it is a
sufficient reason to reject a policy that
it is British policy.
But aside firm this attempt to play
upon the prejudice of part of our peo-
pie and the ignorance of another part,
it is the common trick of protection ev-
erywhere to assume the Garb of patriot
lem and to pass off the tributes exacted
from the masses for its fayOrites as
contributions to the cause of national
prosperity.
1t is, however, great mistake to say
that protection prevails everywhere
outside of Great Britain. When we
turn to other great European nations
we find pretty clear line of demarca-
ton between them. Wherever on the
continent to-day militarism prevails;
wherever Capitalization and paternal-
ism are the controlling ideas in govern
ment; wherever the support Of royalty
and privileged classes and of great
standing armies calls for large expend.
itures, there has of recent years been a
reaction toward the protective policy,
not only because it increases the power
of government over the people, amount
of his taXes-more important still
because it puts the burdens of govern
ment upon the labor and not on the
capital of country. On the other
hand, the freer, more peaceful, pros
porous and progressive countries Of
| Europe have abandoned the protective
system and in any contrast of policies
are to be classed with England. This
is true of Norway and Denmark, of
Belgium ane Switzerland, and especi-
ally true of Holland, of whose enter
prising and sagacious people it was
said in former generation that al
though they raised not a bushel of
wheat themselves they ate the whitest
bread of any European people,"

A New Kind of Diamond.

Jas. 8. Kirk & Co.. of Chicago, have put upon
the market lately, as result of their half CEN
tury's experience, their Dusky Diamond Soap,
q soap adapted to all household uses. BY a
happy but peculiar combination they are en-
abled to use tar in this soap. and there is no
one that needs to be told that tar is recognized
as the greatest of the healing agents. It also
is recognized for its softening qualities, and
any one troubled with hard hands, cracked
hands, sore hands, will become enthusiastic
oyer the Dusky Diamond Soap after once
using it. Your grocer keeps it.
