actually respectable for the women of

Searcey, the Quansico train robber has
confessed, and delivered to the detec-
tives the stock acd bonds stolen. There
we're but two men engaged in the rob-
hery. Searcey and Morganfeld. The
latter has not yet been captured, but
the detectives are after him and he eau
not evade them. The robbers hid their
booty in the woods, and it was only

You say "that the natural effect of
acquiesceoce by this Office, in the course
proposed to be taken would be the prob
ably complete destruction of the bonded
warehouse system within the State the
consequent cessation of the business of
manufacturing distilled spirits under
the internal revenue laws and the loss
to the United States of further income
from that source Such a deduction
as this is altogether out Of reason On
the contrary if the internal revenue
officials of the United States in South
Carolina will cooperate with the State
authorities the quantity Of .moon-shioe"
whiskey consumed in the State would
largely decrease, and the National
revenues largely increase l am inform
ed that the very distiller, whom We are
prosecuting, uses hundred bushels a
week while be only warehouses eight
gallons of whiskey a day. Thus three
forrths Of his possible product pays no
tax to the United States.
I will only state iu conclusion that
unless the authorities at Washington
shall construe tie statute 80 as to give
US relief in cases of this kiad, that it is
almost certain that our General Assem-
bly, at its next session will be compelled
to prohibit the manufacture of liquor
altogether, except uuder stringent State
regulations, and if the question Of reve-
nue. is to govern in determining this
matter the United States will receive
more revenue if the case is decided 10

VISITED BY A TORNADO.
Bridges, Outbuildings and Fences
Carried Away at Muscoda.


Carried Away at Muscoda.
Muscoda, Wis, Sept. 1O.-A week ago
part of this city burned up. Saturday
the town was visited by a tornado ac-
companied by heavy torrents of rain.
Two spans of $50 feet each OF the bridge
across the Wisconsin river were blown
from their piers. Trees and outbuildings
were blown down. About 200 feet of
stock sheds at the Postal Stock farm
were blown over. The lumber of J..
Young's lumber yard was carried all over
.the prairie A number of dwellings are
without chimneys, windows and porches.
The sidewalk between here and the bridge
is scattered all over the road The out
buildings and fences at the schoolhouse
are all torn down and scattered On
neighboring farms several barns were
blown down and what corn had been
shocked is scattered all over the field.
Considerable damage was done to house
hold goods by windows blowing in. The
rain drove through frame buildings like
rivers. No one was dangerously hurt.
Wagons and carriages that We're in the
streets were carried from so to 100 feet.
The bridge damage will be the most as
the stages cannot get into town.

CHAPTER XIV.
TU-kILA-kILA STRIKES.

And yet, when ali was said and done,
knowledge of Tu-Kila-Kila's secret
didn't seem to bring Felix and Muriel
much nearer solution of their own
great problems than they had been
from the beginning. In spite of all
Methuselah had told them. they were
as far off as ever from securing their
escape. or even from the chance of
sighting an English steamer.
This last was still the main hope and
expectation of all three Europeans. M.
Peyron, who was bit of mathema-
tician, had accurately calculated the
time, from what Felix tod him, when
the Australasian would pass again on
her next homeward voyage: and, when
that time arrived, it Yves their united
intention to watch night and day for
the faintest glimmer Of her light, or
the faintest wreath of her smoke on
the far eastern horizon. They hau
ventured to contide their design to all
three of their Shadows: and the Shad-
ows, attached by the kindness to which
they were so little accustomed among
their own people, had in every case
agreed to assist them with the canoe,
if occasion served them. So for a
time the two doomed victims subsidized
into their accustomed calm o mingled
hope and despair, waiting patiently for
the expected arrival OF the much
longed-for Australasian.

tramp. but had nothing in his possession
to indicate that he had been implicated
in the safe burglary.

Renew Their Licenses.
Oshkosh, Wis, Sept S.-The failure OF
about twenty saloonkeepers to renew
