A False DiagnO sis.

La Grippe is confounded by many
persons with severe attack of the
catarrh, which in some respects re-
scmbles the former. These individ-
uais suffer severely with pain about
the forehead, eyes and ears, with
soreness in throat and stoppage OF
the nasal passages, and in fact, are
incapacitated for work of any kind
for DAYS at time. These are ca
tarrhal sufferers. Ely's Cream Balm
has been used with the best results
in such cases. The remedy will give
instant relief.

The Moline Grade Case.

The Moline Grade Case.
The case of the city of Moline
against the c., X. l. & P. Railway
company. the former asking the lat
ter to lower its tracks so as to COM
pare with the grades recently estab-
lished by the city. has after a long
and hard legal fight. resulted in favor
of the city. Judge Grosscup. of the
supreme court, ruling that the rail-
road company lower its tracks with
in six weeks. The company COM
piled forthwith, and n large force of
men is now engaged in the execu-
ton of the order. So far as the rail-
way company is concerned, the fight
was no doubt made, not so much with
the idea of antagonizing Moline and
her interests, as to prevent the set
ting of precedent for the changing
of grades after tracks have been long
in place. The company has been
beaten in this, to the extent that it
is now pretty well established that
the city authorities have the right to
fix permanent grade, to which the
railways must conform.

HIT BY A TORNADO
BUSINESS CENTER OF LITTLE
ROCK. ARK, WRECKED.
Many Largo Buildings Demolished by
Lightning and tho wlnd-A Number
of Lives Are Lost-The Loss Will Ag-
grogate $500. 000-storm ut wichita.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Oct. "a terri
BILE tornado struck this city ut 1880
o'clock last evening and almost de-
vastated the business portion OF the
city. Several people are known to
have been killed and injured, while II
Is feared scores more have met the
same horrible fate. The main portion
of the business center, bounded on
the south by Third street, on the
north by River Front, on the west by
Center street and on the east by Com
mercial street, is practically in ruins
and the amount Of damage is meal
culable. The total loss will probably
approximate 100000. The tornado
was accompanied by terrific storm
and the stocks OF goods In those bust
ness houses which were unroofcd,
though not otherwise wrecked, are
destroyed by water.
The storm struck the state peniten-
tiary which stands on hill in the
western part of the city, with fear
full force, destroying the dining room,
tearing down the stable and shops.
unrooting the main cell building, and
demolishing the wardcn's office. Sew.
eral convicts were seriously injured,
one OF whom died IN hour afterward.
Down town, the lightning struck the
Martin block, corner OF Spring and
Second streets, totally wrecking the
third floor. A man by the name of
Eaton was fatally injured there. The
Titles build. ng, corner OF Center AMI
Markham streets, was unroofed and q
part of the fourth floor of Gleason's
hotel was blown away. At Main and
Second str cts the tops of several ad-
jacent buildings lie piled up in an in
describable h,ap.
The worst damage, however, was
done to property on Markham and
Commercial streets. Nearly every
building in that district is unroofed
and many are totally wrecked. The
large three. story bulldog at Mark
ham AMI Cumb .rlan occupied by the
Il. II. Mccarthy Co. Is total wreck,
as Is also the two-story building on
the opposite corner occupied by Max
Elkans MS n salo IN. The third story
of the old Deming house was blown
off and tIc several stores under IL
we're flooded by water and debris.
The streets were filed with tin roofs,
electric wires and other wreckage and
it will be several days before the
extent OF the damage can be nc
curately known. The large cotton
warehouse situated ut Second and
Scott, owned by J. II. Bacum, was
wrecked. II fell on the Western
Union telegraph Office next door and
wrecked II, thus cutting off all tele-
graphic communication with outside
points. The city is in the densest
darkness and the streets are verit-
able portable stream of mud. Rescu-
ing parties are busy searching for the
wounded but a list of the casualties
is understandable.
Among those known to have been
seriously and probably fatally injured
are c. Z. Monroe, member of Arkan.

u prominent cotton buyer, is also bad
" wounded. Others are known to
have been more or less injured, but

Sewn Years without q Birthday.
Pittsburg Dispatch.


A Scottish clergyman who died
thirty years ago, Mr.. Leishman OF
Kinross, used TO tell that he once
lived seven years without birth
day. The statement puzzled most
who heard it. They could see that
if he had been born ON February q
he would have no birthday except
in leap year, and this accounts for
a gap of three years only. Their
first thought would. therefore, nat
urally be that the old man, who, in
fact, was fond of harmless jest,
was somehow jesting about the
seven. There was, however. no joke
or Il ick in his ne sertion.
AT the present time there can be
very few, if there are any, who have
this tale TO tell of themselves. for
ole who can tell il must have been
born on February 20 ut least ~
years ago. But similar line OF
missing dates is soon toreturn, and,
in Iced, there are no doubt some
re ,ders who will have only one
birthday to celebrate for nearly ~
y ars TO come.
III. solution of thepuzzle is to be
found i'm the fact, which does not
appear to be widely known. that the
year 1850 was not a leap year and
1860 will not be. The February OF
1892 had twenty mine days, but i'll all
the seven years intervening between
1896 and 1904, as well as in the three
between 1892 and 1896, that month
will have only %.

found that the burglar had de-
camped with his booty. Thinking
there might be some prospect OF
capturing the burglar, John Car
penter went after Marshal Holiday
and Carr Mcmillan went to the
Frisco depot, thinking the burglar
might attempt to take the west
bound passenger train then about
due. He was right in this conclu-
sion. A suspicious looking indi-
vidual, with a bundle under his
arm, came from the opposite side OF
the depot and attempted to board
the train. Carr put his revolver to
the strangers head and told him he
desired to examine his package.
The man parleycd a little, finally
consenting to go the sheriff's Office.
They started up town, Carr walking
Immediately behind his man with
drawn revolver, and the two or three
who had agreed to assist in the ar
rest maintaining respectable
distance. When they arrived in
front of Hosea Sherman's restaur-
ant. the stranger suddenly wheeled
with revolver in hand turning the
tables OH his captors at one stroke.
Carr's revolver failed to work, and
the real live burglar faded out Of
sight, the boys fading in an oppo-
site direction. The booty. consist

A TORNADO AT WICHITA.

Great damage v ronght by Wind storm
Mt That o'nt-No iivcs Lost.
WICHITA, Kan, Oct. 3.-For twenty
years Wichita has felt easy about
tornadoes on account OF an Indian le-
gend, which said none ever visited it
or would visit it.
The legend was discredited last
night when terrible storm burst
upon the city. The Twelfth street
depot of the Missouri Pacific road was
the first building struck and 1t was
completely demolished, the roof
striking q stable two blocks away,
crushing II like an egg shell. Twelve
men were in the building at the time,
but strange to say none OF them
were hurt
The storm passed east about a mile,
accomplishing all OF its destruction in
less than wo minutes About thirty
houses and barns were wrecked, and
probably 500 shade trees were torn up
by the roots and strewn about in all
directions
The path OF the tornado was about
fifty fest wide. 1t progressed with o
fearful roar, and was a regular
twister. Three children were hurt
and two men were reported killed ut
police headquarters, but their names
could not b. ascertained. Owing to
the terrible rain which accompanied
the storm it is i'm possible to learn the
full extent of their injuries. Light
ming struck q little boy named Fitz-
gibbons and killed him.
Roughly estimated the loss In the
city will be $4,000. Reports from
Kechit township say that the storm
played havoc there, but owing to the
continuance OF the rain storm II Is
impossible to obtain any details The
storm passed within ten feet Of Gov
ernor dwellings home.
A later report says no lives were
