What is IT.

Mccormick Harvesting Machine
Company are SO awfully afraid the
boys will find out what they are 60
ing to have in the center of their
space at the Worlds Fair that they
keep the work covered up with
a circus tent, with a paddock on
the only open corner, which
the man working on the thing
locks on the inside every time
he goes in. The mysterious
object is some kind of a stage set
ting, with slides that can be raised
into view. AS the slides were all
down out of sight, and we didn't
like to disturb the lion in the path,
we cannot say whether or not they
will have on one of them the beauti-
full romance about their harvester at
the battle of Gettysburg. But what
ever they may be, the other harvester
men would do well to look to their
laurels and not get left too badly, for
the McCormicks realize the impor-
tance of an exposition like this, else
Cyrus H. would not have subscribed
$40, 900 to the capital stock of the
fair, more than all other implement
manufacturers combined. VIM.
Keath of Mexico, who is with the
Mccormick Company, says the en-
ployers even don't know the secret.

THE FUNNEL.SHAPED CLOUD.
Fifteen Buildings Destroyed at Ok
ford, N. C.. Yesterday.

RALEIGH, N. c., May A tor
nado struck Oxford, forty miles
northwest of here, yesterday after
noon and demolished fifteen build
ings, all of wood. Some of them
were large tobacco lighthouses, four
and five stories high. Only one man
was killed. A. negro on the third
floor of a dry-house was fatally hurt
and four men seriously injured,
Among the lighthouses wrecked were
those of Burwell, Smith and Boykin.
1t is learned that there was a sec
ond blow, but it knocked down the
telegraph wires and no further news
can be had. There must have been
another current of wind, because al
sundown in this city the clouds had
disappeared and the heavens appear
ed to be filled with leaves and it
was remarked that there had been 9
tornado somewhere not very far dis
tant. The wind blew gale here.

EXTORTION SCHEMES.
A Few Little Details Of Interest to
Prospective Visitors.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 4.-The res
taurants at the Worlds Fair have
the ''problem of extortion" figured
out to a nicely. Visitors cannot get
out of the grrunds and back on the
same admission, and they must
either pay the prices charged, bring
lunch or 60 hungry. One of the
many devices is great appendix to
bills of fare, announcing coffee to be
10 cents per cup, and in the oppo-
site corner the brief announcement,
"Cream 15c."
The customer is asked if he uses
cream in his coffee. He does.
When he pays, his cup of coffee
costs 25 cents. At Peters French
restaurant 10 cents is charged fol
the use of plate. Here is the price
of a lunch: Roast beef, 81; stewed
potatoes, 25c; coffee and cream,
25c; plate, 10c; total $1.60.
At the English Whitehorse Inn
so cents was charged for a milk
punch and a pint of beer.
At the Gate Restaurant so cents
is charged tor a cup of coffee and a
piece of pie. The effect of this ex-
tortion has created a boom in the
lunch basket trade, and fully one
half of to-day's visitors carried
lunches into the grounds.

A QUICK DEATH.
A Sixteen.Year-OId COl0red BOy In.
stantly Killed by Lightning-His
Clothes Torn in Strings-NOt
q Bone Broken.

Nathaniel Dawson, a 16-year-old
colored boy, was instantly killed by
lightning about 9 O'Clock p. m.
Thursday. When struck he was walk
ing along on the commons in front
Of A. M. Harrison's property, in
Southeast Mexico.
Everybody heard the loud thun-
derbolt and wondered if the light
ming had not struck some where in
Mexico.
Clay Taylor and Preacher Roans,
both colored, were returning to their
homes that night little after I'll
O'Clock. When they reached the
commons just in front of Ci. Mitch
ellis house, about forty feet from
the fence, they were surprised to find
the corpse of the colored boy with
his clothes completely torn in strings
and his shoes missing from his feet.
1t was easy to decide that it was
the work of lightning. 1t had struck
him on the left side of the head and
ran around to his neck and breast,
thence downward mostly on the left
side. Not bone was broken, but
there were two cuts-one near the
left knee and the other few inches
lower. The path it made over
the body was burned until the
skin had the color of SCOT. The
main current of the electricity prob
ably missed him, for it struck and
made hole in the ground at the
corner of Ci. Mitchell's fence, forty
feet from where the body was dis
covered.
The boys wearing apparel was a
curiosity. His coat was rent into
carpet-rags, likewise his trousers,
and both were scorched. His cap
and shoes were torn into small
pieces and portion of them found
against the side of a tree, 200 OF
800 feet away, which had likely
been forced there by the terrific
bolt. Taylor brought the remnants
of the boys left shoe and the small
pieces of his cap to the LEDGER Of
flee nd those who have seen them
wonder that the body was not dis
figured and cut more severely.
OF course death was instantan-
eous. If Carlyle Harris, who has
been denied clemency byGov. Flow
er of New York, meets death in the
electrocuting chair as instantly as
it is evident this colored boy did
last night, then the electricity route
for capital punishment is merciful
and successful.

PAVED STREETS.
They Cost Very Little Compared With
the Improvements Resulting-
Very Popular With the Prop
erty Owners and Busi-
ness Men of MOberly,
Missouri.

A. G. Turner and J. F. Griffee
were in Moberly, Mo-, this week on
business connected with purchasing
pressed brick for the east and south
fronts of the new Baptist church be-
ing erected in this city. These gen.
tlemen were delighted with the i'm
provements made in the business
portion of Moberly by the paved
streets which are fast being laid
throughout the city. Mr.. Turner
informs us that on inquiry he found
that the cost OF paving the streets
was $1.35 a square yard. In the
first place the streets are cleared of
all macadam and a foundation of
gravel and sand laid, and then a
layer of paving brick laid fiat, then
two more inches of sand is put
down and then a course of brick
laid on edge with an oval side. Mr..
Turner says that he thinks this
makes a perfect street and that Mr..
Rabe Campbell, formerly of Mexico,
who has a business house in Mober-
ly, informs him that the business
men there all favor this improve
ment and cannot get the brick laid
fast enough to suit them as it is
noticeable that parties wanting to
rent business houses always choose
property with granitoid walks and
paved streets in front. Mr.. Turner
and Mr.. Griffee both noticed some
paved streets that had been laid for
years, which did not show any wear
at all. The cost OF $1.35 a square
yard covers everything and amounts
to very little considering the in
creased value of property. Therei is
not a renter in Mexico who would
not be willing to pay more rent pro-
viding that in front of him was a
paved street and granitoid walk.
The prospect now is that the City
Council of Mexico will shortly give
the property owners a chance to put
down paved streets if they so desire.
AS we understand the matter the
Council can order paving down and
unless the majority of the property
owners in the block object paving
will be laid by contractor and the
cost assessed to the property 'front.'
ing it. Around the business portion
of the square the property owners
would have to pay to the center Of
the street and the county we pre-
sumo would pay to the center from
the Court House side. On the side
streets property owners on each side
of the street will have to pay to the
center of the street. With a few
more granitoid walks and the streets
in the heart of the city paved with
brick Mexico would not only be the
livest but the handsomest little city
in the state.

Here is what Leverette Leonard
says of the Peoples party: eff Mr..
Cleveland, the Democratic congress
and Democratic senate give us the
relief that we want, which l am in
clined to think will be done, then the
other third party will not be neees-
sary. OF course there are boodlers at
the head of all parties who have no
other motive than to line their pock-
cts, the interest of the people being
a secondary consideration, and am
sorry to state that the populists are no
exception to the general rule, 1t will
be this class of people that will at
tempt to agitate the third party
question again, no matter what
course the present administration
pursues, but the rank and file Of the
kickers are not for third party,
but for relief"

SENATOR CocKRELL, speaking of
the gold stringency and the excite
ment created thereby, in a recent
interview said: "It is nothing but
an organized effort by party of
sharp brokers to force the issue of
bonds. The people came vely near
controlling Foster, and now they
are after Carlisle. l hope Carlisle
will fight them to the last. l be-
lievs he will, and if he does he will

they should get nothing but silver.

Mr.. A.G.TURNER informs us that
the business men of Moberly favor
the putting down of pavement in
the streets, and instead of fighting
this enterprise the property owners
cannot get it laid fast enough. He
says that property has largely in
creased in value ard there is no trou-
bic to rent it just as soon as grant
old walks and paved streets are
put down in front of it.
