A Southern Cyclone.

GAINESVILLE, Tex, May 1G.-News
has reached here of a terrible cyclone
in the Turkey Valley in Greece county.
1t swept from one end of that fertile
spot to the other, literally demolishing
everything in its path. Even Sugouts
were unroofed and people lifted out of
them and hauled along the ground for
Incredible distances. The extent of the
loss of life cannot yet be ascertained.
Five, however, are known to have been
killed and it is probable many are
fatally hurt. Hardly a person in the
valley escaped without injury of some
kind. Collins are being hauled from
the nearest towns.

Gold Filling for False Teeth.


Funny business this" remarked q
dentist, turning from his work bench
and addressing the reporter. "What?"
''Filling false teeth. Every now and
then, when we make a set of false teeth,
we are asked to fill two or three of the
front ones, so that the gold when the
wearer smiles, will shine like darkey's
heel This takes away the counterfeit
appearance of the teeth to some extent.
It's counterfeit upon a counterfeit.
Persons who have this kind of work are
willing to pay for it, and as they always
want good showing of gold, and are
very particular as to the appearance of
the work, we have to charge well for it.
Somehow don't like to do it. When we
have made counterfeit teeth it always
seems to me that the deception has gone
far enough.-Indianapo Journal

0aI'E 1g' Largest Industries
A few evenings since our report
er's attention was called to the beau
tifully illuminated buildings of the
Smith Premier Typewriter works on
Clinton street, and upon investiga-
ton found that owing to a large in
crease in business they were obliged
to run twelve hours day, operating
between 800 and 400 employees. Con-
sidering the rapid growth of the
business referred to it is very appa-
rent to the proprietor that it will be
absolutely necessary during the sum,
mer months to build another factory,
and in fact the plans are nearly ar
ranged for the construction of new
building Of dimensions 6Oxl40 feet,
seven stories high. This new struc-
ture, in addition to the present build
ings, which have every nook and cor
ner filled with operatives, will admit
of working at least 600 people, and
if the business continues to increase
in the future as it has in the past it is
very certain that the company at no
distant day will require all the type
writers that 600 operatives can pro-
duce. We are informed that no other
typewriter manufacturers in the state
at present are pressed to fill their or
ders TO the extent that they are
obliged to work overtime.-Syracuse

st. Louis Republic (Dem.); The

Cleveland resolution. New York, it
seems, Is still in the Union.
New York Tribune (Rep): The
impression seems to be gaining
ground that while the vote Of the
New York delegation to Chicago
will be cast as a unit, it will count
only as a cipher.
Pittsburg Gazette (Rep): The

the dust is still being kicked up IN

GOLD MINE BouaET.

James Mccullough, of Kingston,
N. NJ, and d. II. Moffat and Sylves-
ter Smith have bonded the Gold
Tunnel group of mines consisting of
FIVE claims for the sum of $4,000,
near Kingston, paying 10 per cent of
that amount down.
The claims belonged to Wesly Pc.
terson and Frank Raborg, both old
time prospectors and residents of
Kingston. The claims are on the
Kingston mineral belt and are on
TERRA Blanca creek, seven miles
south of Kingston and one mile and
a half from the Log Cabin mine, a
steady silver producer. The largest
amount of development on any OF
the claims of the group is on the
Horn Silver claim, upon which it is
estimated there is 900 tons of good
free milling gold ore that will pay
large profits when machinery is
placed on the ground.
The formation of the mountain
upon which the claims are located is
porphyry, and similar in character to
that about Deadwood, Oak, and
there are evidently large bodies of
gold ore in the mountain, as side
float is found all over it and large
quartz vein passes through it, from
which shipments have been made to
distant points and profit made to
the owners. A good force of men
will be put to work upon the proper
ties next week, and that two tunnels
will be run which will cut the vein
much deeper than any of the old
workings. The claims are well stu
ated, being only ten miles from Lake
Valley, the railway station, from
which natural wagon road runs to
the mines.
TERRA Blanca camp has always
been famous for its rich silver ores in
the lime belts, and now, with active
development begun in the gold mines
in the porphyry belt to the west, the
outlook for that portion of the King
ston district is certainly very flatter-
ing. The district is now being ac-
lively developed from the Cumberlan
mine, six miles north, to the Log
Cabin, seven miles south; and we
understand other prominent capital
lists are looking up prominent proper
ties on the same zone between King
ston and tho TERRA Blanca.-Denver

TO us, as we supposed its experience
in running a delegate at the head of
its columns for a couple of weeks, a
few years ago, and then taking 1t
down and putting up his opponent,
would have made it cautious of get

experience of two years ago, when

fact which has just come to light
that Don Dickinson has just issued a
circular letter and sent it to hundreds
of Cleveland's ex-postmasters all
over the country, urging them to be
present at the Chicago convention in
the interest of the Syracuse candi-
date, and also that ex-senator Fair
child has sent similar letter to the
old Cleveland internal revenue col
lectors and treasury agents.
