O. Ford, chief Of the bureau of statistics
has returns on the imports of sugar al
all the leading ports of the United States
receiving that article. The returns
from San Francisco are not yet in, but
they will not materially modify the
question of duties, as nearly all suga-
coming through San Francisco is O
Hawaiian origin, and therefore entered
free of duty. The six ports give a tot
importation Of 553, 561 $40 pounds, va
ued at $6,S51, O55. The importation
therefore much less than in the month
of May, which is much less in quantity
than the imports made in June, 1894
and only about One-half in value.

rain were abetted in their work of de.
structiOn by tornadOes. 1t Is too early
yet to sum up the total loss, but the
total is appalling, and those to whom
the angry elements spared life have lit.
tie left to sustain them.
The greatest loss of life is reported
from Winona, no. where Ii corpses
have been found with as many more
missing. Five were killed at Baxter
Springs, One person was drowned OF
Columbus and two at Ottawa, Kan. At
Van Buren,, Ark, mother and her
babe were drowned. A family of five
was encamped on the bank of Fish
creek, in the Indian territory. Nothing
Of them or their belongings was found
except part of their wagon on-a pile
Of drift wood. At Townsville, Mo
where the rainfall was four inches in

Unconfrmsd reports are received of
loss of life as follows: Three at Fayette-
vile, Ark; one at Paola, Kan; one at
Richards, Kan, and six Of hunting

gives a known and probable loss of 43

This house has lately been awarded several large contracts over all competitors, and today it is again a successful bidder and has been awarded the contract for re-carpeting the Main Street Methodist Church.
 The expense of the improvement will be borne by the ladies of the church, and they have undertaken the task of raising $650 for the pur- pose The carpet selected by the committee is a beautiful one and it will be put down over the entire auditorium and chancel, and will add vastly to the beauty of the in terior of the edifice.

The Boston Madiigal Club, one of the finest concert companies extant, gave an entertainment of high merit to an appreciative but rather small audience at the Merrill Insti- tute last night. Each number of the program was rendered in very pleasing manner. Prof. F. E. Will jams execution upon the violin was wonderful and his initiative powers were truly marvellous. George Har- ris, the cornetist, played several sweet selections in q very artistic manner. Miss Marie Wilbur posses ses a rich voice, full of melody, and her singing was of a superior order Each one of her songs was heartily encored. The recitations of Miss Lois Harris indicates that she is a finished dialetician and elocutionist
 Baby Airline, with her childish prattle'and songs was very cunning in her manners and well merited the applause she received. Owing to the illness of Miss Emma Jones, the pianist, Miss Mai Hudson played each accompaniment and acquitted herself in her usual most creditable manner. This concert deserved d much better house than it had, and should 1t ever return to Pine Bluff the people will no doubt manifest their appreciation by larger at tendance.
