A Kindly Deed.

A pathetic story and a generous
action come to notice yesterday.
Mr.. Sanford Snyder, 90 yeas III,
who at one time was quite well
to-do, but of late years has suffere d
reverses of fortune, was coming
home ON Sixth street car the even
ing of the storm from Carondelet,
where he had been seeking en-
ployment. The car was at Eighth
and Hickory when the storm
struck it, and everyone on the
car was more or less injured, Mr..
Snyder being knocked insensible.
Someone carried him to the side
walk, where he lay in the driving
rain for some time. Finally re-
covering consciousness he returned
to his home in pitable condition,
only TO find it destroyed, and his
wife huddled in a corner of the
only room in the house which had
not been wiped out of existence.
Since then they have had severe
struggle to exist. Tuesday their
condition was learned by a con-
ductor on the Laclede avenue line,
who Immediately appealed to his
fellow employers for help in re-
lieving the aged couple. A sum
of money was quickly raised and
taken to Mr.. Snyder, where it was
Ijoyfully received. Mr.. Snyder
and wife are still living in The
ruins of their former home at 1927
Merchant street. st. Louis Re

EXCELSIOR SLATE
ROOF PAINT.

Why not make your roofs last
lifetime, and save the expense of
a new roof every five or ten years.
1t can be done with even less ex-
pense and care than you bestow on
your sid:ings, because our roofing
material costs less. If you are
car eful to use genuine Slate Paint,
and have it thoroughly applied, it
will resist the effects of water and
wind
FROM THOSE WHO KNOW.

Excelsior Slate Paints all right.
have my roofs painted with it;
it is the best paint | have ever put
on them.

L & Sigler, j F Whitacre,

F nj Buckingham.
Excelsior Slate Paint is better
than any other paint. Why: On
tin roofs it makes an even, smooth
body; does nat crack or curl. On
shingles it goes up under the ends
and sides one-haf inch or more
and e oes in the wood making it as
hard AS slate, which no other paint
! will DO. Paint guaranteed to stand
on tin roof three years, on shingle
roofs five years.
If a roof does not stand and
needs painting, 1 i'll repaint ii
free of charge. c. F. FRAZER.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The Weekly Crop Bulletin is
sued by the Missouri Section, Gil
mate and Crop Service, Weather
Bureau, for the week says:
The week ending Saturday, May
80. was another week of excessive
rains over the greater portion of
the state, with severe local storms
in many places, and much further
damage has resulted to growing
crops.
Over the southern and eastern
sections for the week gen orally
exceeded 2 inches, and over many
of the extreme central, west-cen-
trail and north western counties,
however, it was much lighter, be-
ing generally less than one inch.
Much further loss has been caused
by the washing of rolling land
and by floods, and severe hail and
wind storms have done great dam
age to crops and fruit in many
places. During the forepart OF
the week the temperature was de-
cidedly above the normal, but the
last three days were much cooler.
In the few central and western
counties, where t e rainfall was
light, corn planting has been rap
idly pushed and much corn has
been 'replanted, but elsewhere
very little work has been done
and corn has become very foul.
There is also some complaint that
it is turning yellow. A large
amount of replanting will be neces-
sary.
Wheat generally is doing very
we'll, but in some localities it has
been badly damaged by high winds
and hail, and there is considerable
complaint of rust. Harvest has
commenced in the southern coun
ties. Oats have also been dam
aged by hail and winds in places,
but as rule are doing we'll as is
also flax, grasses and potatoes
Clover cutting has commence d an(
will become general as soon as thu
weather permits. Army worms
are still doing much dama"e il
some of the central and nol lerl
counties. Cotton is doing ell Il
a rule, but needs working.

The cyclone that has made
its deadly circle in the city of 81.
Louis, making havoc of property
and a shamble of private homes
and public works, will pass into
history as one of the grim calami
ties of 1896. In other sections of
the republic the same invisible
but invincible agency of destruc-
ton has done its ruthless work.
Hitherto st. Louis has been ex-
empt from cyclonic invasion and
in this happy distinction has eN
hibited a spirit of superb gener-
osity to other cities less favored.
Disaster has, however, overtaken
the Queen City of the Mississippi
Valley, making its hecatomb of
dead and gruesome heaps of bro
ken walls and splinter ed timberS.
The path of the storm is a track OF
desolation which though bad
enough might have been worse.

ever, equal to the emergency. The
situation is accepted without
shrinking from its responsibilities
