A Vinorous Gale Sweeping Oyer Mis-
souri,. Iowa and Illinois.
CHICAGO, April 6. 8.-Reports from
points south OF here indicate that q
gale almost approaching q cyclone in
severity, is sweeping Southern Illinois,
Iowa and Missouri, and that much
damage has been done. The wind has
in q great measure prostrated the tele-
graph wires and full reports are not OBJ
tainable. It is feared that in remote
sections there may have been loss Of
life, although SO far none has been re-
ported. The weather has suddenly
turned oppressively hot. and the wind
is blowing from the southwest~-the di-
rection in which tornadoes and cyclones
generally originate. Along the lakes
and in lower Michigan also there has
been loss Of property.

Many Fatalities Narrowly Averted ae
Rnvcnswood.
CHICAGO. Ap-il S.-Ravenswood, Q
populous suburb OF this city, had mar
row escape from wholesale gas asphyxi-
alton. AT midnight the gas suddenly
ceased to how and in another moment
was turned on again and rapidly filed
rooms where gas jets had been left
burning. Several citizens detected the
escaping gas after almost simultan-
eously and started out TO warn the
neighbors of their impending danger.
Many persons had left all night lights
and the calls of the relief party were
none too soon. Mrs. Agnes Ross, an
invalid who lived ut 25fO Commercial
avenue, succumbed to the escaping
vapor, but was revived in few hours.
A servant girl in another house was
also rendered unconscious, but was
finally resuscitated. As far as can be
learned these were the only victims.

The Prince Gives Hilarious Sunday
Evening Dinner.
LONDON, April =. There is great
outcry among the Sabbath keeping ele-

Wales in giving theatrical dinner at
Marlborough House last Sunday night.
The prince had among his guests Henry
Irving, Charles Window. D'Oyley
Carte, Sir Augustus Harris, Mr..
Toole and Mr.. Bancroft, together
with Mr. Hendal and five or six
others. Forty sat down at Q o'clock on
the Sabbath evening, and the festtvi-
ties, which are said to have been ex-
tremely hilarious, lasted well into Mon
day morning. It is not unlikely that q
respectful but pointed pro.est or re-
monstrance on the subject win be pre-
sented to the prince.

TWAS VERY TAME
The Bowen.Burke Fight ut New Or
leans Was the Biggest Fake OF
the Age,
For Over Hundred Rounds the Battle
Ragged with Unexampled
Tameness.
Referee Finally Declared There Had
Been No Contest and the Crowd
Went Home.

NEW ORLEANS. April g. The Bowen
Burke fight at the Olympic club was the
tamest affair ever seen in the ring here.
It was stopped in the 10th round by
the referee, who declared IL no contest.
The purse win probably be divided.
Bowen wanted to finish. Bones in
both OF Burke's hands were
broken early in the fight, but
in breaking them he seemed to
do little harm to his opponent. Up 70
the s0th round the sport was what
sporting men would call good. After
that there was no fighting OF conse-
quence, and from the 49th to the
93d round the men simply walked around
the ring and made few attempts at
fighting. The audience kept up con-
slant tumult of whistling and
catcalls. At the beginning of
the 93d round Bowen showed a
little life and occasionally landed his
right on Burke's body. His blows,
however, lacked force, and at no time
did Burke fear knockout. we Texas
lads hands were in bad shape and prac-
tically useless for hitting. He only
kept his arms moving in order to keep
Bowen on the alert. In the oath round
Referee Duffy was obliged to leave the
ring on account of fatigue and Presi-
dent Dickson assumed charge for one
round. Duffy returned at the beginning
of the 95th round. and again the
"walk-around" began. The succeeding 10
rounds were tame affairs and both men
showed the effects of the long drawn
out contest. In the 105th round Bowen
fell to the floor from the force of his
own blow, which met no greater resist
ance than the heavy air of the club
house. The men simply jabbed at each
other until the end of the 10th round,
when the audience demanded that the
referee declare it draw. After q few
minutes consultation with President
Dickson Referee Duffy declared it emo

LONDON, April 8.-The Lancet's rep
resentative has jus returned from Chi
cago, where he went to inquire into the
city's sanitary condition. He examined
several samples Of the water from the
Chicago river and found out fact that
everyone in America is acquainted
with, namely, that it is the vilest in the
world. The Chicago people. however,
do not drink river water. The samples
of lake water examined were found free
from any substance deleterious to
health. The Lancet representative
thinks, however, that filtering or boil
ing would improve even this. On the
whole the Lancet found out just what
ordinary people have always supposed
to be true. They have now the highest
medical authority for their belief.

HOW TO BE HAPPY.

John j. Ingalls, says: "Happi-
ness is an endowment and not an
ACQUISITION. 1t depends more up
on temperament AMI disposition
than environment. II is st lie or
coudltion OF mind, ana not a con-
modify TO be bought or sold in the
market. A beggar may be happier
in his rags than a king IN his pur'
pie. Poverty is no more incompat-
iple with happiness than wealth,
and the inquiry how 10 be happy,
though poor, implies want OF uo-
derstanding of the conditions up
on which happiness depends. DIVES
vas not happy because he Was a
millionaire, nor Lazarus wretcbed
because he was a panper. There is
a quality in the soul of man tnat Is
superior to circumstances and that
deties calamity and misfortune.
The man who is unhappy when he
is poor would be unhappy II he
were rich, and he who is happy IN
a palace in Paris would be happy
in a dug out on the frootler or La
kota. There are as many unhappy
rich men as there are unhappy
poor men. Every heart knows It's
own bitterness and its own joy.
Not that wealth and what it brings
is not desirable books, travel,
leisure, comfort, the best food and
ralment, agreeable companlonsLip
but all these do not necessarily
bring happiness and may coexist
with the deepest wretchedness,
while adversely and pennry, exile
and privation are not incompatible
with the loftiest exuItation of the
soul.
More true Joy Marcellus exiled feels.

The following are the laws laid
down by the United States govern
ment for the protection of news
papers:
''If subscribers order the dscon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the
publisher may continue to send
them until arrearages are paid.
If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
fishers, and their paper is sent to
the former place they are held re-
spOnsible.
The courts have decided that res
fuslng to take periodicals from Of

If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice to
the publisher at the expiration of
their time if they do not wish to
continue taking it; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send it
on and subscribers will he respOn-

continue the paper with payment
of all is sent to the publisher.
Publishers of newspapers can
