RACED on THE OCEAN.
The Steamship Empress of China Beaten
by the French Cruiser
Afqer.

VICTORIA, B. c., Oct. 2S.-Oriental
papers received by the Victoria give a de-
scription of an ocean race between the
Empress of China and the French cruiser
Alger. s,sa tsR :. sg4ssas
1t is stated that the Alger left Kobe for
Yokohama, its engines doing seventy-six
revolutions, giving speed of thirteen
knots. The Empress OF China was follow
ing two miles astern. This steamer had
proved victor in race with the United
States fast cruiser Olympia.
The merchantmen gradually overhauled
the cruiser and when about 800 metres off
hauled down her colors so she might not
have to salute the cruiser as she passed.
The Alger Immediately increased her
speed to eighty-ive revolutions, and the
Empress responded by increasing her
speed. Gradually, with the aid of her
Belleville boilers, the Alger increased to
ninety-two revolutions and an hour later
got up speed of IL knots an hour, which
enabled her to pass the Empress.
The next morning at 9:40 O'Clock the
Alger steamed into Yokohama two hours
in advance of the Empress of China.
This feat proves that the Alger in the
course of a few hours steaming
could easily have attained her trial speed
of twenty knots, and her performance is
said to be all the more praiseworthy from
the fact that majority of her firemen
had been transferred to her less than two
hours before the race commenced and had
never seen Belleville boilers before.

.LYNCH|NG OF A F|END.
Pays the Penalty at the Hands
of a Mob for Draining a
Little Child.
Had Quarreled With His Employer
and Sought to Square
Accounts.

WINONA, MINI, Oct. 28.-A rumor has
reached here that Palmer, the North Bend
murderer, has been lynched. 1t is stated
that the officers started with the man
from North Bend for Black River Falls,
but that they were overtaken by mob of
twenty determined men, who tied rope
about the murderer's neck and hanged
him from a railway bridge.
Palmer, young fellow of 18 years,
lived with farmer named Marshall, a
mile and half from North Bend. He
quarreled with his employer and squared
accounts in manner most diabolicaI.
Early in the afternoon he took little Oscar
Marshall, bright and pretty child of 8
years, out to the-barn, where he deliberately
took an ak and brutalIy pounded in the
.child's skull.
DR.. Rhodes was summoned from Gales
Vile, but when he came the child was be-
yond human aid aud soon died. Upon a
careful search of the premises Palmer was
found in an icebox. He had smeared his
face and lips with carbolic acid and made
them horrible sight. His eyes were
shut and he was pretending to have COM
mitted suicide.
: His pulse was felt and found to be
normal. He was stood on his feet and
made to walk. For some time he kept
up his pretended srupor. but finding it
: would not work with his enraged captors,
broke down, opened his eyes and con-
fessed. He admitted that his motive for
killing the child was to get even with
Marshall.

a pinch of snuff yesterday for cold.
So severe was the sneezing that followed
that the inferior obliqne muscle of the left
eye was ruptured and he continued to
sneeze. The exertion forced the eye out
of its socket. Doran says he felt as if
something had broken in his head. With
his right eve he saw the left optic hang
ing down his cheek. DR.. Heady replaced
the eye and applied lotion to the muscle.
The eye was then bandaged SO it could
not fail out again. DR.. Heady believes

FREAKS OF THE FIERCE STORM
Not More Than Fifty Feet Wide, but
1t Tears Up Everything
in Its Path.

SHERMAN, TEX, Oct. 2S.-A tornado
originated about 5:15 P. NJ. near Farming
ton, sixteen miles southwest of Sherman.
After forming it took portheasterly
course, passing about three miles east of
Sherman, and was seen by hundreds OF
people in this city. The usual tornado
phenomena were prevalent. The barome-
ter registered 29.4, six points lower than it
did on May Is when the disastrous tor.
nado visited this city. Citizens here were
much excited, and it was some time be-
fore any effort was made to learn the ex-
tent of the damage. The first destructive
work of the storm was noted twelve miles
southwest of Sherman, where it demol-
ished a house on the farm of George Duke.
No one was hurt at that place.
The tornado rose from the earth, strik-
ing again at a point about four miles
southeast of Sherman, where it demol-
ished tenant house on the farm of Jim
Hayes. Four members of this family
were seriously hurt and it is reported that
Mr.. Hayes back is broken. Several per-
sons telephoned from a suburban resi-
dence in that neighborhood asking that
searchers be sent out to look for persons
who are missing. Requests were also
made for physicians, bandages, stimu-
lants and other articles necessary to care
for the wounded. Reports of the number
wounded are very indefinite, as it turned
very dark soon after the passing of the
storm. A man who was in the Farris
field is among the missing.
Manager Mcbride of the Western
Union Telegraph Company sighted the
storm when it was just south of the city,
and wired the Denison office to that effect.
Denison is twelve miles north of here,
and in thirty minutes Mr.. Mcbride re-
ceived a message stating that the storm
was passing east of Denison. This would
make its speed near twenty-five miles an
hour. The storm was not more than fifty
feet wide, but it pIowed up the wheat in a
field which it passed through.
A report.comes in that Lovings school
house, four miles east of Sherman, was
Qnroofed: The sky lighted up brilliantly
during the passage of the storm, but
. darkness followed.

a Superior Courtroom in
August.
LOCATED IN LOS ANGELES.
End of Search Which Long BAT.
fled the Northern City's
Detectives.

TACOMA, WASH, Oct. 2s.-The cele-
brated Roberts case, which occupied the
attention of all branches of the Superior
Court last summer, has been revived by
the return to-day of DIR. w. E. Burk hart
from Los Angeles with the two missing
girls, Maude and Olive Roberts, aged 10
and Ii, who mysteriously disappeared
from the office OF Claypool & Cushman on
August 10 last.
The children had been before court that
day on hearing for the appointment of
DIR. Burkhart as their guardian, on the
ground that their father was not proper
person for them to live with. ROBERTS
wife, formerly Josie Brown, was alleged
to have shady record
While Judge Pritchard was writing an
order, the girls were left in an inside
room. When the Judge had finished
speaking, and the new guardian went after
his wards they We're out of sight. Numer-
Gus suits OF injunction, contempt, perjury
and habeas corpus disclosed that they mad
gone from the courthouse alone to the of
ice OF Frank Cushman, attorney, but be-
yond that they could not be traced.
In suit against Roberts for perjury
and contempt the testimony of Frank
Cushman could not be obtained as he
went to the wilds of Okanagon imme-
diately. The hearing was continued from
time to time, the prosecution waiting for
CusEman, but not until Roberts had for
feited his bail of $1,000 and left did Cush-
man return.
AS near as can be learned, Mrs. Roberts
took the girls to Seattle, and then to San
Francisco, where Roberts joined them and
took the family to Los Angeles, where he
is keeping fruitstand. He had been one
of the most prominent music-dealers here
Mrs. Burkhart is sister OF the girls dead
mother.

LONDON, ENG, Ocf. 2S.-To-day's con-

Berlin-Wheat opened easier at a decline OF 2
