The Shifting Snake.

A snake found in Africa is called the
splitting snake by the Beers. 1t is be-
tween two and three feet long, and is
especially bold and active, readily at
tacking every one who approaches it. In
confinement it is very savage, opening
it's mouth and erecting its fangs, from
which the poison may be often observed
to drop, and even sometimes to be forci-
bly, elected, whence the name given it
by the Boers.-Quarterly Review

1888 Whipple-st. was demolished, two
year-old Emma Kiima killed instantly
and the mother and another child badly
injured.
In the district between Twelfth and
Thirty-second-sts of the river a great deal
of minor damage was done. The
telegraph, telephone and electric
systems were completely demoralzed
for a time. Large chimneys on two
or three manufacturing establishments
were wrecked and some houses struck by
lightning and badly damaged.
The driving rain deluged the bank and
did considerable damage. One large
window in Armour * Co.'S Office was
blown in, but no one was hurt. ON the
upper floors number OF windows were
broken. Three or four young women en-
ployed in the Office tainted, and there was
precipitate rush for the stalrcases AMI
elevators. To make matters worse light
ming burned out a switch board near the
dynamo and all the electric lights in the
building went ont at the height OF the
confusion.
Democratic wigvam Damaged.
Seventv-five men were at work in the
big democratic wigwam. A quarter pole
holding the northeast corner OF the um-
brella shaped canvas roof gave way and
tore through the canvas. The wind got
under it; guy wires snapped like twine and
an instant later the great ninety-foot CEN
termast snapped and fell with a crash,
smashing through the floor and running a
hundred chairs. The canvas cover went
IN tatters and rain flooded the wigwam.
The Workmen marvelously escaped in
jury.
Contractor Allen said this evening that
the damage to the Wigwam will amount
TO fully $4,000. He has had enough OF
canvas and q timber roof will he ready
for the convention. Several large
stores in the business district
had plate glass windows blown in
and suffered some damage from rain
The flagstaff was torn from the tower Of
the Pullman building and fell into Michi-
gan-sye., narrowly missing buggy occu-
pied by two women. During the prog
ress of the storm the cable
lines experienced considerable diff
ficulty in handling their lines on ac-
count of the electric current on their
cable lines being conducted to their hands
through the levers. Some Of the grip
men on the Safest, line were quite
severely shocked. The storm played
havoc with the great piles OF
lumber in the district about Blue
Island-ave and Twenty For
half an hour the air seemed full of flying
boards and shingles and the piling of the
lumber will entail considerable expense.

Thirty Injured.

Fifteen Persons Killed I'm Spain and over
Thirty Injured.
MADRID, June l3.-Terrific thunder
storms prevailed in various parts of Spain
yesterday and the loss of life and great
damage by the liRhtningis reported. The
electricity appeared to pick out the
churches as the objects on which to show
its power, and unfortunately it did go
while the services were in progress At
Melias, in the province of Creme, the
parish church was crowded with wor-
shippers attending mass when the storm
burst. Though the peals of thunder
were very loud and the flashes OF light
ming extremely vivid, not much attention
was paid to the storm at frs t.
Suddenly a crash of thunder, followed
almost Immediately after lightning that
was binding, caused the worshlpers to
spring to their feet in fear. Women
shrieked in terror and children clutched
their parents in en- agony OF fear For two
or three seconds after the flash it was inn
possible To see anything, the transition
from sudden brightness to extreme dark
ness rendering the people practically
blind.
The utmost confusion prevailed. FL
na!ly, when order WAS restored, the congre-
CATION were Mortified to find that ten of
their number had been struck by light
ming and instantly killed and that twenty
eight others had been seriously injured.
When this became generally known the
people were panic stricken, and rushed
from the church in the pelting storm.
Many of them, men, women and
children, sought refuge in the open spaces
in the vicinity of the church, fearing to
enter a house, and there they remained
drenched to the skin until the storm
passed over. An almost similar scene
occurred at Mucientes in the province of
Vallade id. The church in that village
was also struck by lightning. Five of the
worshipers were killed and ten injured.
At Burgos, capital of the province OF that
name, considerable damage was done 10
the famous cathedral by lightning. Bur
gos cathedral is one of the oldest build
ings in Spain, being founded in 1921 and
finished in 1857 The lightning displaced
a portion of one of the walls and did other
damage. Nobody in the cathedral was
injured

There has been great deal said in re-
publican papers about the "Jewett circu-
lar" advising democratic local officials to
reduce their local tax rates 80 that they
would not raise more money than they
did lass year. The following tables will
show why that advice ought to have been
taken by all local officials in regard to the
matter of tuition taxes. 1t was we'll
known at the time the taxes were levied
that there would be a large increase Of
tuition money distributed By the state
The state superintendent of public in
struction had given public notice that the
increase would be at least 20 cents to each
child of school age-that is to cay, be-
tween the ages of six and twenty-one
years-iD the entire state. Every local
school official knew the number OF school
children enumerated in his township or
town, and knew what the increase would
be at 20 cents per capita If be did not,
he did not have intelligence enough to
hold the office. 1t WAS the plain duty of
each of them to reduce the local school
taxes to that amount, unless there wss
some special reason for an increase OF
tuition taxes in any particular locality.
II will be seen from the tables that dem
ocratic officials as a rule endeavored to do
this, and republican officials as a rule
endeavored to make the local tuition taxes
a. high as they could. The distinction is
not so marked as it should be because
there are many republican trustees and
town boards in democratic counties, and
these have almost universally put their
school taxes up. OF course their increases
offset just so much of democratic de-
oreases, and they are included in the fol-
lowing table except the increase made by
the republican school board of Indian
apolis:

AN INHUMAN CRIME.

on the two infant daughters of Lafayette
Bowers. with whom Mcfarland was board

years old and small and delicate for their
age.
Mcfarland is brick worker and is re-
pulsive looking young man. Physicians
made an examination of the little limo
cents and found both suffering from a
loathsome disease communicated to them
by the lecherous brute.
The assault was committed about a week

munitv, and threats are loudly made that
il there is the slightest miscarriage of the
law a mob will take him from the Jail and

creased their local tuition taxes, and
twenty-nine have increased them. The
total increases amounts to S94, 744. 10, and
the total decreases to SO, 2l079, making
net increase of local tuition taxes of
$50, $50. 40 But the school money dis
tributed to these counties by the state will
be S274, 057.30 greater than last year, and
therefore the local taxes should have been
decreased to that extent. These counties
will have 1926, 590S0 more revenue for
tuition than last year. and unless there
was some special reason Tor increase in par
ticular cases there is ust that much I'M
necessary increase of taxes on the people
OF those counties for that purpose. Il
should be borne in mind that tuition
money is used only for paying teachers.
All other school expenses are paid out of
the special school taxes
1t will be noticed also that in only six
counties-five democratic and one repnb-
lican-have the local school taxes been
decreased, so that there viii be less school
revenue than last year. and in none of
these, except possibly White county, is
the decrease of any material amount.
On the whole showing 1t is clearly ap-
parent that democratic off Gals have acted
in the interest of the people, while repub-
lican officials have been trying to make
the new tax law obnoxious to the people.
The evidences OF that conspiracy multiply
daily. The question that the people of
Indiana are now confronted with is,
"What are you going to do with these re-
publican local officials who have increased
your local taxes over 81, 500,0 900, in order
70 make you believe you were oppressed
by the new tax law2" What sort of opin-
ion did they have of your intelligence?

corporations in Indiana over 81 ,250.O00

be carefully considered.

NEW YORK, June 13.-Congressman
Springer in an interview says he thinks
the republicans were wise in nominating
Harrison. He fayors Palmer as the DEM

The enormous magnitude of the PEN
sion bounties has become very serious
matter. During Mr. Harrison's admins
tration, the number of pensioners have
been increased by between 100000 and
100000 persons, and the benefciaries I'M
der the service pension law are mostly all
voters. ] have no doubt in my mind that
the present administration has used the
pension Office and it's ramihed branches as
a great political machine. / do not think
that the present session OF congress has
been marked by extravaganza, except, it
may be, in the matter OF appropriations
in the river and harbor bill, and these ap-
preparations we all know, were for great
