SOUTHERN CORN IN THE WEST
The indications are that the flow of
bread -stuffs from the Northwest to the
South will soon be thing of the past.
Every year there is an increased acre
age of grain in the South, and this
year the corn crop is unusually fine.
Indeed, corn is now being sold in
Alabama for consumption in Illinois.
Last week, at Decatur, Ala, $4,000
bushels of corn raised in that State
were sold for shipment to Illinois, the
price being As cents per bushel. Com
menting on this, the Memphis Com
nlercidE says: "Now let each family
in the South raise hogs, and this
average will supply all the bacon we
need. and millions of dollars will be
saved to our people,"

THE TORNADO's WoRK.-The tar
nado which wrought such fearful havoc
in Little Rock will be remembered as
one of the most destructive which has
visited the West and Southwest in his
toric times. 1t lasted during the brief
interval of three minutes, and destroyed
a million dollars worth of property. 1t
is surprising that the loss of life was
not much greater. That it was not is
probably due to the fact that the vista
ton was confined to the business por-
ton of the city, and that it came after
the busiest portion of the day. The
damage done by such storms during
eighty-seven years was made the sub
ject of compilation by the Govern
ment, extending to the year 1887.
During that period $3.50 persons were
definitely reported as killed by this
agency in this country, and over 5000
injured, with total property loss OF
over $941 100000. This is considerably
short of the actual destruction, as the
reports of the storms of former years
were incomplete, and less attention
was given to the methodical collection
of data.

Victim Is Rescued.

The steamship Grecian. of the Allan
.fE4s switch sailed recently from New
York for Glasgow. was lying off -Four
.eenth street in the North river, re-
ceiving cattle. The beasts were taken
aboard in hurry, and more than the
usual prodding and goadlng attended
their transfer from the small to the
big boat. The stalls were between
decks. and among the helpers there
was Edward Mclaughlin, whose BUSH
ness it was to drive the cattle into the
stalls. A big Colorado steer, with
horns about two feet long, finally was
landed in McLaughlin's section. The
steer had a tremendous body and an
enormous toss of its horns. McLaugh-
lin waved it toward the stall, but 1t
only threw up its head and beloved.
Give him a taste of the whip,
shouted a man from up on the deck
"A good idea" called back McLaugh-
lin. as he reached for the blacksnake
The steer thought differently, and be-
fore hands were laid on the whip made
a dive for Mclaughlin
Look out" came the warning cry
from above.
Mclaughlin turned Just as the horns
were within a few inches of his body.
With a quick step he slipped to one
side as the steers head grazcd his
back The suddenness of his move
ment upset his balance, and before he
could straighten himself the steer had
turned and made for him.
BY this time there was fringe Of
excited watchers around the deck
opening above. They were shouting
advice and warning TO Mclaughlin,
whose ears were deafened by the rush
Of the angry steer, and who could do
nothing to avoid the second attack.
The steer caught him with one horn IN
the right side, just above the hip. Half
the horn disappeared from sight be-
meath the mans blue blouse. In sec
ond the blouse was crimson, and Nc
Laughlin was dangling in the air from
the point of the horn. The watchers
heard him give one scream Of pain that
echoed against the Hoboken hills, and

saw his face whiten to ash color. Then
he tainted. His limp form slid off the
Redeemed prong and lay face downward
upon the floor. The steer bent over
and shifted the blood, and then backed
off for another dive at the body.
Just then Spanish helper about the
ship - AlleSandro Maestro - who had
heard the shouting joined the watchers
upon the upper deck and peered over
Allesandro was called the ball fighter"
IN board the ship. as he was always
talking about the bull fights he had
seen in Spain. As soon as he saw the
situation he shouted: lei toro" the
bulb. and slid down a hosting ca BILE to
the lower deck. Whipping a red hand
lerchief off his neck he waved it at the
steer at the instant the beast had low
cred its head The flash of color drew
Is attention toward the Spaniard, and
L jumped clean over Mclaughlin in its
efforts TO impale AllesandrO. But the
Spaniard proved that his knowledge OF
matador tactics was not assumed, for
he gracefully avoided the rush, and
was fiuttering the red flag again when
the steer turned.
Allesandro. 10y a display of great
ability, got the steer To the end OF the
deck furthest from Mclaughlin, and
kept him there by his furious on
slaughts with the handkerchief. Serer-

was made and the wounded man was
lowered into tug and conveyed TO the
deck, where an ambulance from New
