It was wind of death. No other

swept acros the Sea of Azov Saturday.
1t will be impossible for days yet, says

the damage done, bnt it is most GER

persisted, some by drowning, others by
being crushed undor falling hou es and

terrible scene was presented. The
village was RACED, overturne las IL an
immen pillow had been Lushed
through it, Lying everywhere were
woman and children, dead or in the
last agonies. The shallow waters Of
the Sea Of AZov were dashed to such
height that it was plain that every

cyclone swept on to the northeast after
wrecking Nogaisk. 1t path seems 10

through his leg; in the battle of the
Wilderness he rece ed bullet in his
side. These w unds were all made
by the eople ir, IN the side which
Hoke Smith is now trying to represent
in dispensing pensions. When n r..
Dodge loft the army he was suffering
fl. IN partial para ysis as the result OF
his wounds. In time he applied for q
PENSION. q was granted $50 a month.
Last summer Mr.. Dodge secured q
position as inspector OF police on the
Worlds Fair grounds at salary OF $40
a week upon the recommendation OF
General Miles and the editor of the
Chicago Tribune. That sufficed to call
the attention of the pension officials to
him, and cha GO CT drawing an ille-
gal pension end swearing falsely TO q
disease wa; trumped up against him.
He was arrested on q warrant issued
at the instance of special examiner
ard Pension Commissioner Ii chren.
The officers thought they would prove
that he had taken drugs to produce
the symptoms of disease. He was
therefore taken to Washington and
thrown into Jail, where h was kept
handcuffei five days and fed upon
bread and water in puri
OF the theory that he had taken
drugs, AM that such treatment would
prevent him from C ntinuiDg the prac-
tice. AT the expiration of five days he
was examined by medical board,
which continued to keep watch of him.
Finally his case waJ brought into
court, but the pension Office had no
evidence TO present against him. The
district attorney reported that an eX-
animation had shown the man to DO
suffering from disease of the nervous
system and the eyes. His bail was re-
duced from 80, 600 TO $lO0, and he was
sent 10 a hospital whe he remained
ill for two months. When he had par
into court and discharged, no case hav-
ing been made out against him.
In the meantime his pension had
been taken from him and in order to
have it re stored Mr.. Dodge went before
three eminent physicianS-Dr. Cald-
well, formerly Secretary of the Pen
sion Bureau; DR.. Reybui n, who was
one of President Garfield's physicians;
and DR.. Anton Coe. They reported
that the applicant was su! ering from
q nervous disease and an affection OF
the eyes. These facts we presented

inasm CHI as the IensiCn had been
stopped, it could not be restored.
That was the end Of the case. The
prosecution OF Mr.. Dodge cost the gov
eminent $1,000, and it had accom-
plished nothing but to bring reproach
upon those who instigated it. Mr..
Dodge has left Washington, broken in
spirits, and practically without means
OF support He has gone back to his
vie ard children and will try to re-
st re the home that was broken up by
the men who are responsible for the
Infamous Eemocratic outrage. He has

The Mexican Government has re-
ceived official reports of heavy rains
throughout the northern parts of tho
republic, and in some districts great
damage has been caus ed TO the growing
crops. This is particularly true in the
states of Sonora and Durango, where
severe 6roughts had prevailed for
the last five years. The Yaqui river
ogerflowed and many thousand acres
of cora ald o her crops were washed
away. A number of persons were also
drowned while attempting to sa-e
their stock and ether property FIR m
the flocd. The Ma Gs River In the
state OF Drrango, also went on great
rampage owing to the unusually heavy
rains in the mountains where it has its
source. Several hundred families who
lived in the valley OF this river were
made homeless by the overflow, and
many cases of drowning are reported.
