TORNADO IN TEXAS.
AT LEAST SEVENTY-FIVE
PEOPLE KILLED.
The Town of Sherman Visited by a Ter
rifle Twister-Ovcr $50 Injured-Sev-
enty Houses Destroyed-Death and
Destruction In Other Towns.

SHERMAN, Texas, May 1.i.-This city
was struck by tornado yesterday
afternoon about 4:30 o'clock, leaving
death, misery and destruction in it's
path. The cyclone began its awful
work on the Pilot Point road, about
five miles southwest of the city, and
ranged towards the northeast for
about two miles out of the city.
The path of the tornado varied from
400 TO 600 yards in width. About sew
enty houses in the city of Sherman
are totally destroyed, and 1t is safe
estimate to place the death loss at
seventy-fve and the injured at 15O
Every vacant building in the city has
been converted into morgue or hos
pital, one building alone containing
fifty wounded people.
To-day was to have been observed
by the ex-Confederates of Sherman as
Decoration day, but instead half
hundred new graves will be prepared
in the city cemetery for victims of the
appalling disaster.
Standing on the north side of the
Court Plaza, the clouds seemed to part
at the lower side, converging into
perfect funnel-shape, while boiling,
seething mass of vaporous clouds were
rapidly revolving in the rift The air
was suddenly filled with trees and
twigs and the downpour of rain
brought with it a deluge of mud.
Then the truth dawned upon all that
a cyclone was prevailing.
From the point where it seems to
have first descended to where it sud
denly arose from the ground Just
north of the city, it left terrific marks
of its passage, not a house in it's path
way escaping, not a tree or shrub left
standing, ali fences are gone. The
iron bridge on Houston street is COM
pletely wrecked, Notwithstanding it's
hundreds of thousands of pounds of
steel and material.
The number of persons wounded
will not reach less than a hundred
and it will be several days before the
exact number of fatalities can be
given, as many persons, and especially
children, are missing, and many of the
injured are in such critical shape that
a score may die.
1t is reported that forty people have
been killed south of town, in addition
10 Ine cltyS ueaJn llSI. wagons are
unloading the dead and injured every
moment.
At least fifty houses are wrecked.
Most of them are small cottages eX-
cept on Fairview and Washington ave-
nues, where the handsome residences
of L. f. Ely, Captain :. c. Salter,
Mrs. Pat Mattingly and James Falls
also succumbed. The loss will reach
at least Sl5O,O and but little, if any
of it, was covered by tornado insur-
ance.

Did Not Like to Anticipate War and Was
Advocate of Peace
Gentlemen, 1 hate to hear men talk
OF war as lightly as you do" said the
man next to the door in the street car,
according to the Detroit Free Press.
You don't seem to realize what a
dreadful thing war is
"You have seen war;" queried one
Of the two who had been discussing
affairs.
AYE, have that, and I don't want
any more of it. War means destruction,
devastation, wounds, death and debt.
If you had seen war as l saw it I'm
sure you would regard it more seri-
ously."
Were you Wounded?"
'Not exactly wounded, but at the
first battle of Bull Run 1 had to
abandon a suffers outfit worth over
$4,000. Yes, lost over $4,000 at one
clipr'
Then you were not a soldier?" was
asked
mot exactly a soldier in the ranks,
they might refresh themselves from my
stock. Again at the battle of Antietam,
when our patriots rushed forward with
cheers to crush the enemy, l lost three
horses belonging to my outfit and was
at least $500 out of pocket. Even Gen.
Mcclellan himself did not lose $40 in
cash by that fight"
THAT was hard on patriot!' sar-
castically observed one of the men.
1T was, sir, but l had to stand it.
Why, how much do you think l lost
down at White House landing, when
Mcclellan made his change of base?
l had three suffers outfits there, and
all were captured or destroyed, and my
loss wasn't a cent less than $4,000.
Think of man losing $4,000 at one fell
swoop! If 1 hadn't found a congress-
man willing to go into partnership with
me | should have been a ruined man.
Principle is all right, but let us avoid
war if possible. You have heard of the
battle of Gettysburg, of course?"

sutler outfits. / had the wagons all
up, with fresh stocks of goods, and
| have been told that but for my enter
prise our tired and hungry soldiers
would have been beaten. They left the
ranks to come and buy of me at so
per cent profit and recuperate them
selves. I am believer in the Monroe
doctrine and 1 admire the stand taken
by the president, but war should be the
last resort. I've been there and know,
and while I admit that it is pleasure
to sell goods out of a wagon at from
5O to 500 per cent profit, the shrieks
OF the wounded, the pale faces Of the
dead and the walls of the widow and
orphans go right to my heart and make
me hope that peace will endure for
