Elizabeth Hallman died at the age
of S6 in Pennsylvania recently. Her
death was the result of fall in which
She broke her collar bone. Up to two
or three years ago Mrs. Hallman had
gone west to Illinois nearly every
summer to visit her brother. She
was the mother of thirteen children.
Only for the accident that caused her
death she would probably have Wis
tied the Worlds Fair this summer
and taken in all the sights with her
clear strong eyes. That is the right
kind OF an old age to have, the kind
that the whole human race will have
when it is civilized. Meantime we
are glad we have such people as Mrs.
Hallman to show mankind the right
way of growing old Good rest to
Elizabeth Hallman!

women in fruit, vegetable and flower

learn bookkeeping, chemistry, botany
and something about the laws Of

instruction is the canning, preserving
and evaporating of fruits and the
making of fruit juices. The girls
must also attain perfectionin making
that jam without which Briton

culture they must understand the
entire care of greenhouses and con-

a certificate Of proficiency is given to
them. So excellent is the training
that applications for women as head

The next move in naval progress
will prooably be to sheathe the bot
toms of the new cruisers with Il coat
ing of wood and copper. The sheath-
ing prevents the accumulation of
barnacles upon the ships steel bot
tom, and the consequent frequent
docking and cleaning which this
fouling makes necessary. The heavy
clogging of the barnacles and other
substances makes the vessels bottom
so rough and heavy that her progress
seriously impeded, and her coal bills
run inordinatcly high. Besides that,
one of our new cruisers could not run
away from an enemy if her bottom
was fouled with barnacles.

Don't Forget This.

New York Sun: The personal
popularity of William Mckinley in
Ohio is without precedent in that
state, and almost without parallel
elsewhere. Heseems to grow stronger
with the voters every year. His
denomination for governor by ac--
clamation is now conceded, and it is
believed that he will have from 80, LOCO,
to $4,000 majority. There is a dearth
of democratic opponents willing to.
take the nomination against him.
Mckinley, like Randall and other
popular advocates of the protective
system, is a poor man, though its
opponents declare that protection is.
a device to enrich the few at the
expense of the many. These oppo-
nents are, for the most part, rich
men, madeoppulent by fees, franchises.
inheritances. or foreign investments.
However all that may be, the demo-
cratic party is pledged to blot the.
protective system out, and the demo-
cratic party is the party which keeps
Its pledges. Don't forget that.

opportunity for revenge, kept a strict

that it was watched, was quiet and
obedient, and tie driver began to
think that the beating was forgotten.
One night. after the lapse of sever

Satisfied that it's revenge was COM

corner, when the driver sat up and
spoke. AT the sound of his voice,
and pcrceiving the mistake it had
made, the animal was so mortified at
the failure and discovery of its scheme
that it dashed it's head against the
wall and died on the spot.

DEsoLA1IoN AT AKRON.
A Prosperous Iowa Town Devastated by
DcmOniacal Wind.


DcmOniucal Wind.
The town of Akron, Iowa, on the
line of the Chicago, Milwaukee s. st.
Paul railway. thirty miles north of
Omaha, which has population of
about 10000 persons, was devastated
by cyclone.
Shortly after 2 o'clock it COM
mcnced to grow dark and in a half
hour it was snecessary to have artificial
light. About ) o'clock the storm
struck the place. 1t was regular
wllirlwind, and came from the north
east. Houses were torn from their
foundations and overturned and
many of them blown to pieces. A
double span wagon bridge across the
Sioux river was wrenched from the
piers and washed up against the
river bank. The iron rods were
twisted and bent out of shape. A
large elevator was demolished and
the debris carried across the railroad
tracks and deposited on the site of a
lumber yard, while the lumber yard
and buildings were carried back and
deposited where the elevator stood.
Cars loaded with stone that were
standing on the railroad tracks were
picked up by the wind and turned
completely over. Nearly every build
ing in the town was more or less
damaged.
Several were killed and injured. but,
it is impossible now to obtain definite
details. The estimated property loss
in Akron is $4,000.
The storm swept through the coun-
try to Westford, S. d., and leveled
many farm houses and buildings.
Near Westford man and his wife,
names unknown, were killed. The
storm crossed the Missouri river near
that place and swept across Nebraska
to Page, $50 miles west of there, de-
stroying much property in its path.
AT Page much damage was done and
Clara Magee was killed and her two
children seriously injured.
