Struck by a TnrH ada.

MEMPHIS Tenn, May 3O.-A terrific
tornado at 10 o'clock last night swept
down the lines of the levees for miles
on both sides of the river. great
deal of damage has been done in weak
ening levees, though up till now
no breaks have been reported. AS the
river has fallen considera bly, here to-
day it is evident that several breaks
must have occurred. The damage must
prove enormous, as every body has had
such confidence in the strength of the
levees that no one thought of N oving
away or preparing for food

CYCLONE AT SUMNER.
Houses Demolished and Stock Injured
No Lives Lost.

No Lives Lost.
SUMNER, Ill.,, May 3O.-A cyclone did
some bad work a few miles north OF
this otto Saturday night at o'clock,
but no loss of life is reported The
storm passed in a northeasterly direc-
ton, and whenever the funnel-shaped
sloud struck the ground it took
everything with it. The resi-
dence of Ben Barker was COM
pletely demolished, and not building
remains Oh his farm to-day. His cat
tie were somewhat injured. All that
saved his family was the kitchen stove.
Mrs. Barker had the presence of mind
enough to throw bucket of water on
the fire and then gathered her children
and secreted herself by the stove. The
house was lifted up and the roof fell
on the stove and Mrs. BarKer crawled
out from her secreted place without
scratch. The home of George Daniels
was badly damaged and his stock in-
jured. Several trees we2e uprooted In
this city. The Prairie Hall church
was almost completely blown down.

FARM And HOME.
"AVERAGE" PEOPLE.
NAY RILEY SMITH

The SeEius scars far 10 the fountain
That feeds the snow-csp in the sky;
But though oar wings break IL The flying,
And though our souls faint in the trying,
Our flight cannot follow so high:
And the eagle swoops not from the mountain
To answer the ground birds low cry
The world has gay guerdon ready
To hail the fleet foot in the race:
But on the dull highway of duty,
Aloof from the pomp and the beauty,
The stir and the chance of the chase,
Are toilers with step true and steady,
Pursuing their weGrisome pace.
False prowess and noisy insistence
May capture the garrulous throng.
Bot the average" father and brother,
The housekeeping sister and mother,
Grown gentle and patient and strong,
Shall earn in the fast-nearing distance
Wherein life's awards have been wrong.
Then here's 10 the average people
The makers of home and its rest:
To them the world turns for blessing
When life its hard burdens is pressing,
For stay hearts are the best
Birds build, if they can. in the steepIe,
But safer the caves for nest.

THE NATIONAL COM MITTEE
y Brief Outline of the Work Done Unde
the Direction OF GARRISON.

y hrIef Outline of the Work Done Under
the Direction OF CIarkson.
The Clinton Iowa. Herald says: 1.-The
illness of Mr.. Garrison at Hot Springs
has given rise to all sorts of reports con
corning him personally aud officially
The latest authoritiye statement We
have seen is that he is now able to move
about, though not with agility. by any
means, and that he expects to come
north early in May.
The Herald is correctly informed. A
rapid recovery is now assured General
Clarkson and his physicians think he
will soon be in better health thar Tor
years past, and with even greater capac-
.ty for work.
As to certain other rumors that the
work of the national committee h. been
delayed or embarrassed by Chairman
Clarkson's illness, we are glad to say
they are wholly unfounded. Before his
sickness General Clarkson had mapped
out the early campaign work in detail,
and put selected men in charge Of each

Seeds Failing to terminate.

A frequent reason forth failure OF seeds
70 terminate is that they are buried too
deep. Another, that the soil above them
is too loose. Cover lightly, in proportion
to the size OF the seed, and firm the soil
well afterward. Failures that come from
not doing the work correctly are often
blamed upon seedsman. Give the poor
seedsman chance.

TIC PUSH THE PULLMAN CASES

Iowa Counties Have Brought Action
Against the Company for Taxes.
Dies MONIES, Iowa, May 30.-Attor
ney-General John Y. Stone has been in
the city trying to push what are known
as the Pullman cases in the Federal
court. Judge Woolson refused to con.
slider them at this term. The Pullman
company five years age enjoined the
county treasurers from collecting taxes
against their property as fixed by the
State Executive Council. Since then
taxes here have accumulated to $50, 900
Or more, besides interest and penalty
Of 1 per cent a month. The Pennsyl-
vania decision in similar case is said
to assure a victory for the State. 1t is
asserted that the company has offered
to settle tie taxes provived the penalty
was RENTED.

organizations of western Pennsylvania
have learned that Baron Hirsch's
scheme for the care of Russian refugees

Fertilizers.

On farm in high state of cultivation,
and On market gardens, it is common to
apply fertilizer smore than once to the
same crop. Progressive farmers should
study this plan. Try square rod with
an application Of nitrate of soda TO po-
tatoes when siA inches high, and corn
with superpbosphate at second hoeing,
and then weigh at digging or husking
time and compare with that only fertiliz-
ed at planting: That which is worth do
ing, is worth doing well. Feed your crop
and the crop will feed you.

Hon Growing.

The business of hop growing is rather
speculative N nature, as prices vary enor-
mously fro n one season to another. Large
high prices, but enc year with another,
the business pays extremely well If you

nure heavily, raise as good crops as you
can. and take your chances on the price.

Something to Lean Unon

Keep your heart as you keep your vine,
by providing a substantial and permanent
support; for the heart, like the vine,
needs something TO lean ppou. 1t only
remains to be said that no human heart
ever found a sufficient support but in God
himself. Nothing else will fill the heart
of man.

Food for the Dairy,

Prof. Roberts, of Cornell University,
says that double as much food for the
dairy can be raised, under ike conditions
Of fertility, from an acre Of corn, or rye or
Of alfalfa, as from an acre of timothy, or.
char5 grass or blue grass. We believe this
is moderate estimate, especially so far as
corn and alfalfa are concerned The sooner
dairy farmers get into the way Of growing
the crops that yield the largest possible
amount of food the sooner will they put
their business ON paying basis.

Give Corn the Best Land.

Gire the corn your best land. You can.
not have sell that is too strong or rich for
it. Crops Of small grains may grow too
rank, lodge and go to waste on land too
rich for them, but corn will not, and ii will
only use as much of the te7tiIizing elements
as it needs, leaving the rest in the ground
for future crops.
