Meeting.

were features Of the jollifcation, and

explosives had been provided
A portion Of these had been stored in
the schoolhouse. During the speech
making, and while the building was
packed with men, women and children,
two kegs Of powder exploded. The re-
suits were frightful. The schoolhouse
was totally wrecked and most Of its oc-
cupants buried in the ruins.
Those who could extricate themselves
set about at once TO rescue the others.
Shrieks and means came from the mass
of wrecked timbers, and 1t was evident
that the calamity was terrible one.
Debris took fire in several places and II
required hard work to prevent the ere
nation of the persons who were Inn
prisoned. The flames were subdued,
however, with only one person suffer
ing from the fire.
A son and daughter Of Silas Graham
were taken out dead, and Berry Sherod,
one of the most prominent residents OF
Washington county, was so badly in
jured that he has since died. Another
man, whose name has not been learned,
was also fatally hurt Fifteen other
persons were seriously injured.

RED BUD, Ill.,, Nov. 1s.-Where We'd
nesday night existed beautiful little
town full of happy homes, is to-day
scene of wreck and desolation. Houses,
barns, fences and orchards are leveled
to the ground and spread over the sur
rounding country. At $3.50 yesterday
morning cyclone two hundred yards
across struck the town, entering from
the south. 1t first demolished the Cath

stone and crumbled it to fragments.
Mrs. Kendall was severely injured.
A large double brick house occupied
by D. d. Perry as a dwelling, office and

inhabitants, situated on the Mobile &
Ohio railroad, about fifty miles south OF
St Louis
Reports are coming from the country
south and west of this city that the
cyclone has been doing considerable
damage in other sections. A full knowl-
edge of the disaster wrought will not
be known for day or two.
At Bremen, in this county, Mrs. o.

for several days. I telegraphed

Travel in the East

How wonderful and ever present is
the contrast in eastern travel to all life
and movement ut home. No heavy carts
and numbering wagons jolt to and fro
between the farmyard and the fields.
No light vehicles and swift equipages
dash past on macadamized roads. Alas!
there are no roads-and if no roads, low
much less any vehicles or wagons.
Thatched roofs and tiled cottages, lanes
and hedgerows and trim fields, rivers
coursing between full banks, beyond all
the roar and sudden smoky rush Of the
train-these might not existin the world
at all, and do not exist in the world of
the Persian, straitened and stunted, but
inexpressibly tranquil in his existence.
Here all is movement and hustle, fux
and speed; there everything is imper-
turbable, immemorial, immutable, slow.

The Wild cats are Coming.

From the days of Judea 1T has
beeen the policy of the money
changers to favor the circulation
of various sorts of money used for
different purposes, and varying
monetary values.
The Jewish shekels were good for
taxes and tribute; the Roman
money was not. One was legal
tender for religious purposes in
Jerusalem; the other was good fol
payments to Caesar. Each in its
turn was scarce or plentiful
valuable or less valuable, as the
quality and urgency of the de-
mands varied. These variations
gave to the money changers their
opportunities. On the approach
of the Jewish tax-paying time the
money changers promptly and
prov identity bought-up the Jewish
shskels, and afterwards placed
them in the Temple for sale to the
taxpayers at premium. 1t was
this wicked scheme which so
enraged the "Man of Peace" The
"Man of tears and acquainted with
grief" The Man who was more
han man, whose great heart
melted at sight of wrong and
in human suffering. The man who
on no other occasion was ever
known to exhibit 6sion of
anger. When sS;:snsse:: those

and infict physical violence on
his enemies. This proves most

COTTON CROP AND PRICES,

Afford shepperson, the noted
cotton statistician, estimates the
cotton crop of 1892 at 6,5Oo,ooO
bales-this he considers the
maximum, and says these figures
may be reduced considerably. Of
the prices he speaks as follows:
"For two seasons very low prices
have ruled, lower than most men
have ever seen. They were caused
by the pressure of the enormous
stocks in the world, resulting from
our two immense crops of 1S90-91
and 1912. On Sept. 1 middling
upland cotton was worth here Z 1-S
c. On the Oath of September it
advanced to Z 5-8c,, and continued
to advance until 10 cents was
reached November 25. There has
since been a recession of ia cent
which was due largely to the pur-
chases Of futures by merchant and
capitalists as fair speculation.
They saw the price of the great
staple was lower than for a
generation, and probably below
the cost of production. They
realized that the growing crop
would be a short one, for the very
air was full of such indications,
and bought futures freely. Spot
cotton followed the advance i'll
futures. spiners contributed very
little to the advance. Our mills
hold large stocks of cotton, having
bought during the two previous
season considerable more cotton
than they consumed. They were
generally, therefore, in condition
to keep out of an advancing
market, and did so.
To date they have taken from
the crop 100000 bales less than
for the corresponding time last
season. Neither have European
spinners helped in creating the ad-
vance. speculations always anti
cipates results. The conditions
affecting values of staples are
discounted long in the advance.
Several months ago | had said
in a letter which got into print
that the crop would be a short
one and when the public reached
the conclusion that 1T might not
exceed 100000 bales they would
,ot wait for the last bale to be
counted, butwould put prices up

TOPEKA, KAN, December ST,
had been proposed by the people
here to havesan inaugural ball
when Governor-elect Lewelling
was placed in Office, but the Gov
ernor opposed it, and a mass
meeting OF Populists called to
decide upon the inaugural
coremmonies adopted these resolu-
tions last night:
Resolved. That the recent
political victory was won by. the
plain people o. Kansas and was
victory against mammon worship
in all its forms; was, in truth, but
one battle in the irrepressible
conflict between the people and all
that greed which finds its most
Turing exponent in society, with its
ostentatious display of power to
spend money for trihes while those
who Lave earned it starve:
inaugural ceremonies carried on by
the fashionable society and under
it's ostentation of dress and expense
wonld be exceedingly inappropriate
and highly distasteful to. all
friends of genuine social-and'
political reform; and, further.
Resolved That the people of
Kansas, who elected the new State
officers, cannot look but with
anxiety upon any indication that
the officers have submitted tothe
allurements of that fashionable
society which represents all the
enemies of the common people
and based upon wealth gained by
monopoly constitute a dangerous
lobby about the officials it may
secure in it's meshes; therefore.
Resolved. That we'are opposed
10 any ball as part of the cere-
monies of Inauguration.

lator, said be had just come from

COTTON sEEDFoR HORSES.

A writer in the Southern farm
has experimental with cotton seed
hulls as a food for horses, and
gives the following as his experien-
ces and purposes:
Having found them such an. e1-
cellent food for cattle and knowing
that cotton seed meal is being fed
to some extentto horses, Ireasoned
thet hulls fought also to be good
for horses. So 1 procured some
corn meal, and by mixing only
very small quantity of cotton seed
meal, !, succeeded in making them
eat it. The quantity of hulls and
meal was iucrased gradually until
each animal consumed about three
pounds of meal and considerable
hulls.
The oil mills have started uI
again and I will commence right
away to feed hulls and meal to my
horse stock. I never succeeded in
getting them to eat hulls and
meal without mixing with other
food, and do not know whether q
we'll fed animal can be made to dc
so or not. I will feed it as largely
as I can. 1t will very much lessen
the expense of horse feeding. Eight
centsaa day in hulls and meal will
keep a thousand pound work-o1
fat. We find horses and oxen in
their natural state eating the same
kinds of food. What difference
can exist between the digestive
sorgans of the two animals, that
one can thrive on a food unsuited
to the other? I am sure that the
horses and mules that work the
cotton fields of the South will
eventually be fed largely on cotton
seed.
