Gradually starved to Death.

PULASKI, March 24.-Edgar Reese, q
highly-connected young farmer living
three miles from this place, died yester-
day of the most peculiar disease ever
known in this vicinity. About four
years ago, while in the field, he got
very warm and became very sick. In q
few minutes he was stricken down, not
being able to move auy part of his
body, though he had feeling and could
see, speak and hear as we'll as ever.
Since that time he has been perfectly
helpless. Before his death for quite a
while he could not swallow anything,
and he gradually starved to death, sur
rounded by friends. For about a year
before he died the only thing that kept
him alive was liquids which were placed
in his mouth, his head pushed back and
shaken. This was the only way any
thing could be gotten down his throat.
His head and limbs could be placed in
any position and would remain so until
changed by some one. They seemed to
be on pivots, similar to pivot doll.

GALLATIN, March pa remarkable
person was here today, and was a great
attraction to the many people on the
streets. 1t was girl, 13 years cid, who
weighs $40 pounds. She is the daugh-
ter of o. b. Braiser, respectable
though poor farmer, who lives at the
foot of Cumberland Ridge, north of this
place. At the age of the child was OF
ordinary size and intelligence. but
about that time she began to increase
rapidly in flesh, and it was within
year after that she attracted attention
on account of her abnormal growth.
From that time on she increased to
such proportions that people for miles
around focked to see her, and she be-
came the wonder of the day. She is yet
child in age and actions, engaging
heartily in all sports with neighbor
children, and is clever and energetic in
all her movements. The skill of the
physicians has been ineffective in stay
ing the rapid growth.

est wind and rainstorm that ever
struck this city swept over it from
the southwest at o'clock Thursday
night, leaving ruin in its wake. Build

loss is estimated at $4,000.
The report from Alexandria is that
the tornado struck that city about $50,
damaging residences, business houses
and destroying the Lippencott glass
factory. The wind struck at the south
end, crushing it down upon the ma
chinery and employees. The damage
will reach $50, 900 to this factory alone.
John Angle, Jr,, was instantly killed.
Frank McShaffery, Peter Hanlan, Err
nest Frey, James Branham and some
others whose names have not yet been
learned were very seriously injured.

structlon OF Property Supplemented by
Heavy Loss OF Life aud Much Personal
Injury-The Worst Storm In It's History
Experienced at Bedford, Ind.
CHICAGO, March ga special to the
Herald from Memphis says: The dam
age done by Thursdays cyclone in the
Mississippi valley is enormous While
the loss of life is not as great as at first
reported, the damage TO property will
reach, ~, OOO, 900. The telegraph wires
are still demoralized, and reports are
coming in slowly from the storm dis
tricts, and ii VII be several days before
the full extent of the disaster will be
known. The death list thus far foots
up eighteen, while the dist of injured
will run up into the hundreds
The first heard of the cyclone was I'm
northern Louisiana and southern Ar
kansas 1t crossed the Mississippi
few miles above Greenville, devasta-
ting plantations, wrecking farm houses
and uprooting giant forest trees. The
path of the storm was about half a
mile wide, and nothing was left stand
ing in it's track.
The first fatality occurred at a point
near Shaw's station, Miss, where the
house of Drury Summerall, prosper
Gus and Industrious colored farmer,
wasrleveled to the ground, killing the
entire family of nine persons. The cy-
clone passed through the suburbs of
Shaw's and demolished several small
stores, but no one was killed.
The hurricane then changed its d.
rection slightly, and travelled the right
of way of the Yazoo e. Mississippi
Valley railroad until it entered Cleve-
land, Miss, where the public school
building, several houses and stores were
razed to the ground.
No fatalities occurred at Cleveland,
but several people were struck by
flying timbers and more or less in
jured. Leaving Cleveland the cyclone
passed within mile of GAINESVILLE, a
town of 1000 inhabitants, and next
struck Tunica, the county seat of
Tunica county. Nearly every build
ing in the place was wrecked. The
new courthouse went down before the
winds fury. The colored school build
ing was wrecked and over thirty chill
dren manned.
As the cyclone left Tunica 1t divided
into two sections, one portion travel
ing in a northerly direction, while the
other took north-northwesterl
course, and again crossed the Missis-
sippi river into Arkansas, where it
spread ruin through three counties
The towns of Charlottesville and
Vincent were nearly wiped off the face
of the earth. and the storm then took a
northeasterly course, reaching Kelly,
Miss, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Here the greatest damage was done.
Six people were killed outright and
scores wounded. Not building was
left standing, the fragments being
strewn over the country for miles. The
damage to property in the vicinity of
Kelly will reach $780, 900. After leav-
ing Kelly the cyclone passed into Ten
nessee, the next place to fall in Its
path being Spring Creek, a small town
In Madison county. where several peo-
pie were injured, but no one was killed.
There has been7no confirmation here
| of the report that Tupelo, which is in
the eastern part of the state, has suf-
| fered severely from cyclone.

Royal Baking Powder

WHILE there are so many alum baking pow
w ders in the market the use of which all
physicians decide render the food unwhoesome
and liable to produce dyspepsia and other

most care to prevent any powder but the Royal
from being brought into their Kitchens
In the use of Royal there is absolute
certainty of pure and wholesome food.
The official State Chemists report The
Royal Baking Powder does not contain am
monia, alum, lime, nor any injurious ingre-
dents. 1t is absolutely pure and wholesome.
The Government reports show all other

In the use of any baking powder but Royal
