THE CYCLONES DEADLY WORK.
Another cyclone passed over portions
of Illinois and Iowa, Saturday, carry
ing with destruction of property the
loss of human life in both States. At
the town of st. Charles, ILL.,, stone
building was blown down, and two of
its occupants were killed and several
wounded. Four other lives were lost.
The storm passed northeast through
Iowa cutting a pathway the distance
of twelve miles through forest and in
tervening obstacles as closely defined
as a wagon road. Four schoolhouses
were demolished, and two teachers
and number of children were killed.
Some of the pupils were carried a dis
lance of half mile by the fury OF the
blast. One OF these, a girl, was found
lodged in a tree, where she had been
raised by the storm, but SO seriously
injured that death is certain. The
whole number of deaths reported is fif-
teen and probably three times that
number are seriously injured. Much
livestock was killed, the prairies being
strewn with the bodies of horses and
cattle. Even the we'll pumps were
pulled out at Rossburg, and the path
way of the terrible visitant is as clear
of trees, fences and habitations as If
they had never existed. The citizens
of Sioux center are caring for the
wo".j.I and doet;tuto n,~ny VI whom
have lost all their worldly possessions

The resignation of Jas. Mcknight,
IS counsel for the Northern Pacific
Railroad Co. is doubtless in line with
the policy lately pursued of displacing
all the old-time officials, many of
whom, like Mcknight, have done so
much towards promoting its welfare.
If Mr.. M. ID. Dunn, who succeeds Mr..
Mcknight Displays the zeal and ability
OF his predecessor. the company will
be indeed fortunate.

to this end the 9Th OF October, 1882,
Was rcckoncd as the 18th.
Furthermore, in order to absorb as
far as possible the future yearly ex-
cess OF ii minutes, 10 I-3 seconds, he
ordained that. beginning with 4. D..
20p0, every fourth centennial year,
viz, 20J0, 300, $500, 300, etc,
he considered bissextile or leap-year.
Hence ut the end of every century
divisible by 100 it is necessary to re-
tain the biSsextile day, and to sup
press it at the end OF those GEN.
turtles that are not divisible by 400.
BY this ingenious device it was found
by calculation that the difference be-
tween the calendar and astronomical
year would not amount to day in s.
600 years.
/ But astronomical niceties have
wonderfully advanced since Gregory's
time, and now it is proposed to sup
press the usual bissextile once in every
Us years, since experts have found
that by doing this the error i'll ques-
ton will not amount to full day in
100000 years,
Pope Gregory's improved way OF
reckoning time was christened " New
Style" to distinguish it from the old
method which was called "Old Style"
Roman Catholic nations immediate
ly adopted the New Style while it was
ignored by Protestant countries,
generally till about 100.
On account OF this delay of nearly
100 years the excess OF another day
had accrued so that eleven days had
now to be dropped from the old calen-
dar.
A bill for the adoption of New Style
was introduced into the Parliament of
Great Britain in 1885. but it failed to
become a law. Finally. an act was
passed in 1851 by which it was Or
dained that both in England and Ire
land, IL days should be omitted after
the I'd of September, 1852, and that
the following day should be reckoned
us the 14th.
Russia is the only remaining Chris
tan nation which now uses the Old
Style, between whose dates and ours
there is at present a difference of
twelve days.
Thus, person writing from a city
in Russia to any other portion of Eu-
rope or to the United States, would
have to clumsily date his letters in the
following manner: Jan. y, 1895; Sept.
Oct e - 1895; or 5sn = 1885 1885, as the case
might be.
tits now thought that the progress
sive spirit of Russia's new Emperor
will lead him to adopt the reform
calendar.
1t seems passing strange to us
Americans that the Old Style is still
used by the keepers of the British
Treasury accounts.
Thus it is that the Christmas divi-
dends do not fall due till Twelfth
Day." nor the midsummer dividends
till the 9th of July.

FURTHER CHANGES IN THE NORTHERN
PACIFIC CoNTROL-It is now reported
at Tacomas that Assistant General
Superintendent Dickinson and Super
intendent McCabe, of this division,
will be asked to step down and out"
1t is said that the reason for McCabe's
removal is that he is interested in a
stone quarry, and the company are so
anxious for its development as an aid
to business that they propose to allow
him to devote his whole attention TO
it hereafter. 1t is quite probable that
the same reason applies to Dickinson's
case, but just where his outside in
terests" are located has net been made
public. 1t is likewise reported that
the Rockefellers, of the Standard oil
trust, have acquired large interest in
the stock of the company, and this
may afford a clue to the motive for a
change OF personnel in the manage
ment.

NOTHING New UNDER THE SUM-
This expression finds verification in
the paragraph now going the rounds
which asserts that Du Maurier is a
plagiarist, as has been shown from
evidence submitted in the suit OF the
Harper Bros. and A. M. Palmer, the
theatrical manager, for an injunction
against the Lyceum Stock Co., to re-
strain it from the production of
Trilby" ON the stage. The defend
ants allege that the book "Trilby"
was not originated, invented or writ
ten by Du Maurier. They assert that
that the original title and book OF
" Trilby" was first published in France
in 1920, and afterwards in England in
1847, and that the book has been COM
mon property for seventy-Gve years.

YE GODS AND LITTLE FIsHEs!-The
Olympian suggests that we keep file
of that paper to study finance, assum-
ing that it is a fount of wisdom to be
tapped as occasion may require on
chat aud other subjects. Now had
the matter suggested, on which the
Olympidn assumes to have a corner in
brains, appertained to agriculture, we
might feel content to sit at the feet of
Gamaliel, for its editor has shown his
proficiency in the management OF the
State Agricultural college as its Pro
fessor," and he doubtless is authority
on the kind of trees that produce the
best turnips and the variety of soil
that grows the best cheddar cheese.
He may be sound on the currency
question, but it is doubtless owing to
the vein of silver he has found perme-
ating Democratic platforms and Popu-
list newspapers, and it is only a ques-
ton of time, therefore, when he will
be switched off upon the gold-bug side
rack.

SECRETARY Hoke Smith has been
an advocate of silver coinage, but the
present attitude of the head of the
administration, it seems, has some
what modified his views. In a recent
talk the Secretary divided the people
into three classes-gold monometa-
lists, silver monometalists and bime-
talists. He did not think the gold
monometalists were strong enough to
be factor in the campaign, but that
the issue would be for and against silver
monometalism. He thought the free
and unlimited coinage OF silver at the
present ratio by this country alone
would mean nothingl more nor less
than silver monometalism, or if, under
that system, the price of silver bullion
was materially advanced, no other
metal would be presented at the minis
for coinage. He thought the agita-
ton Of the question was checking the
return of prosperity, but he hoped
that the plan of the silver men would
be defeated without doing the country
serious injury. -
