Value of Personal Influence.

For The SBNTINEI"l
Do we realize OF what Importance
ought to be our individual influence !?
Is it right for US as professed followers
of the Jesus who was not only meek
and lowly," but earnest in rebuke OF
wrong doing; is it right Tor US to say
by our actions when we hear of fragrant
violations of the golden rule: '"Oh
we'll, cannot keep people from de-
frauding widows and orphans, " II can
not keep the jaws of the ''blind tiger"
from setting down upon the youth Of
our town with its venomed sting, "''I
cannot keep young or old from the sure
paralysis which comes sooner or later
to the confirmed cigarette smoker"-no
-"Let the wide world wag as it will, :"
l will not trouble myself about it. Let
others-let the ministers tell the peo-
pie their duty, it is their province" Is
this the attitude for any earnest, right
thinking man or woman to take? Do
the teachings Of the pulpit, however
earnest, prevent the pitiful results Of
the use of whisky and tobacco from
making themselves evident on every
hand, or prevent the man who is so
disposed from defrauding the widow
and fatherless of their dues? Does the
fact Of the helplessness Of woman who
must needs take the part Of both
parents, inspire In men the desire to
tighten her burdens, or does it some
times have contrary effect, and is not
her very helplessness used against her?
Truly the influence Of all right-think-
ing people constantly felt and expressed
ID needed to aid the Flaw and the gos-
pel' to keep men and women in the
right attitude toward each other.
The press, too, is, or should be, .
powerful agent for publication and d.
rection, and none should dare, by quiet

selves, !" letting the world wag ~ it will,

thought or earnest word must have.

Statement Issued by Mr.. and Mrs.
BOOth-Tucker.

NEW YORK, April 2O.-Commissioner
and Mrs. Booth-Tucker issued a state
ment tonight, which contained the
text Of the correspondence between
Commander Ballington Booth and the
International Headquarters in London
The statement is an answer to the one
made by Ballington Booth a week ago
and gives in full the latter's letter of
January 31st which they aver was a
letter of resignation. 1t was written in
answer to instructions for them to be-
gin their farewells preparatory to ac-
cepting another command. In part it
is as follows:
Our position is quite different from
other commanders who may have con-
fldence in the General and may be right
with London. This being the case it
looks to us as though the General had
had an utter disregard of our future.
There is, therefore, no course open to
us but that of handing over the COM
mand in the United States which he
knows SO well is dearer than life itself
to US, and stepping out We have no
doubt that the General will say with
but slight regret let them go but he
will be responsible for the wrecking of
our future lives and the filling of our
cup with unmixed sorrow. Apart from
the loss of confidence of the General
of which we will speak later-there are
several matters which make it impos-
sible for us to take another command
without violating our own convictions.
You can now understand better the
unutterable suffering we have and are
passing through in this order to relin-
quish our command At first we were
filled with perplexity and prayed in an
agonized spirit before God over the
whole affair. The only light we have
received from God is that upon the
path we have now determined to take
viz: To obey orders and resign our
command, and then as quietly and ex-
peditiously as possible retire.
The letter is marked personal and con-
ffdential. and contains a postscript re-
qUesting the contents to be kept pri-
vate until they are out of their com
mand.
In reply to this, Bramwen Booth
wrote to his brother, begging him to re-
consider his determination. This was
followed by letter in the same tenor
The letter from General Booth is. per-
haps, the most extraordinary of all. IT
is dated March 18th. 1t opens:

DAMAGE DONE BY THE
Bite OF FROST.
According to Reports YOlo County Grape
Growers Will Suffer.
Prune Crop Badly Damaged in Sonoma
County.
The Frost Extends to the Lower Part
of the State, Riverside Suffering
From Damage to ApricOtS,
Almonds, Peaches and Other
Fruits.

WOODLAND, April 20.-The grape
crop of Yolo County will probably be a
total loss. OF the thousands of acres of
vines, not one green leaf could be found
after last nights frost. Such is the
condition of the immense vineyard of
H S. Howard, President of the Wood
land Fruit Exchange. The vines in the
foothills in favored spots escaped seri-
Gus injury. Mr.. Howard believes that
the damage to vines alone in this county
will reach $1,000 600.
SANTA ROSA, April 20.-Severe
frosts have visited this section at inter-
walls during the entire season, but last
nights visitation was the most disas-
trous of all. The prune crop is badly
damaged, many growers declaring that
third Of a crop would be the best that
could be hoped for. Cherries and
peaches will also suffer greatly from last
nights cold snap, only the uplands es-
Gaping. But the hardest blow to this
part of the country is the almost total
destruction of the valley vineyards and
the quite serious damage done even to
upland vines.
WALNUT CREEK, April 20.-The Sc
we're frost of last night turned every
grapevine black and ruined the cherry
crop. Potatoes have suffered every
where. The weather was so cold that
in some parts of the valley pumps and
water pipes were frozen. The grain
crop has not looked better in many
years. The total rainfall for the season
is twenty inches
RIVERSIDE, April 20.-Quite heavy
frost visited sections of this county last
night, and reports are to the effect that
some damage was done to apricots. al
monds, peaches and other fruits. So
far as can be determined no damage was
done to the deciduous crop.

FREMONT (O.), April 20-The rural
part of Sandusky County was stricken
by q cyclone this afternoon, which left
death and destruction in it's wake. This
city narrowly escaped. The dead and
injured so far as known are: w. L..
Greene, a well-to-dO farmer, body
crushed out of shape; James Greene,
son, found dead and mangled near the
ruin of his residence; Mrs. James
Greene, his wife, injured by flying tim
Der, may die.
The residents of this city first saw the
approaching cyclone about o'clock.
Warning had come in the form of a
hurricane of wind and deluge of rain.
The cyclone seemed to be on the point
of contact with the city, when it
swerved around and passed northwest
in a Semicircle, leveling all the build
ings in its path.
The path of the storm was about half
mile in width, distant from the city
three miles. The tail end of the cyclone
touched here, but did little damage.
Soon after the passage of the main
storm news Of it's destructive force was
received from the surrounding country.
A party of physicians and other citizens
was quickly formed to traverse the
scene of desolation and help the vic
TINS who were alive. Big stretches Of
valuable timber land were laid low like
field Of corn, with only solitary tree
at long distances. Farm houses and
barns were demolished, live stock in
large numbers was killed and found in
all conceivable places about the farms
and in the open country. w. L. Greene S
residence was crushed to splinters, and
the house Of his dead son Jared the same
fate.
Much Of the country in the path of
the storm was not occupied by farm
houses, or the loss of life would have
been greater.
The storm kept on with slightly di-
minished force westward through the
oil fields, but the damage reported is
not great.
The loss in Sandusky County will
amount to many thousands of dollars,
and no storm like 1t has ever visited this
section. 1t is feared there has been de-
struction and loss of life or injury that
has not been reported yet

CAREY ARID LAND ACT.
The Amendment Will be Reported
Favorably to the House.

WASHINGTON, April 20-The
House Committee on Irrigation and
Lands have agreed to report favora bly,
the bill amending the Carey Arid Land
Act. One of the amendments provides
that all arid lands shall be considered
as desert lands" which will not sue
cessfully produce ordinary crops with
cut irrigation. The time within which
States and Territories are permitted to
reclaim and occupy desert lands is lin
tied to ten years from segregation.
After the segregation of arid land
shall have been made by the Secretary
Of the Interior a map is to be filed and
the lands certified to the State or Terri
ritory, and certificates of the Secretary
of the Interior to be final. The COM
mittee regard this as an important
change, as it shuts out the possibility of
future contest, and gives a guarantee to
those who invest in construction of ir-
rigation works.

TRAGEDY AT SALT LAKE.
Sequel to an EIopement From Friend,
Nebraska.

FRIEND (Neb.) April 20.-Two weeks
ago L. C. Jackson, a leading business
man of this place, prosperous and with
a wife and family disappeared. He
secured all the ready money he could,
but left his family well provided for.
Three days later Mrs. E. w. Davis, wife
of another business man, also disap-
peared, taking with her her little
daughter, and the supposition was that
she had joined Jackson, though there
was no proof of this. Davis, the hus-
band, declared that he would hunt the
guilty pair and secure possession of his
child The climax came to-day in
tragic way at Salt Lake City, private
telegram from that place announcing
the arrival there of Davis, the finding
of his wife and daughter in Jackson's
company, and the further fact that
Jackson had committed suicide on be-
ing approached. Details of the tragedy
have not been learned. Davis and his
wife are on their way home, and the
body of Jackson will be shipped here for
burial. Both families were prominent
