Met the Emergency.

The following incident happened at
the Criterion theater in London the 9TH
er evening. At the end Of one of the
scenes Mr.. Wyndham tells fellow actor
to 60 down stairs and he will follow
him in three minutes. Then, as he takes
out his watch, the curtain should de-
scend. On this occasion, however, it
failed to do SO, and the Squire of Danes
reclmed on the sofa, patiently waiting.
An almost painful pause occurred. The
curtain jerked, but would not fulfill its
mission, and Mr.. Wyndham, realizing
the situation, again pulled out his
watch, and said. "Ah, two minutes
have passed. There was another pause,
after which he arose and announced
that "the time was up and he must GO y
As he left the stage the curtain at last
descended, and Mr.. Wyndham S ready
wit was much applauded. - London

WHEAT IN THE DAkOTAS.
Minneapolis Commission Men Prepare a
Statement.

Minneapolis Commission Men Prepare q
Statement.
MINNEAPOLIS. May 26. - Osborn,
Crosby & Co.. grain and stock brokers
of Minneapolis. have been gathering in
formation on the crop outlook i'll the
Dakotas for their correspondents. The
aim was to get accurate information
covering the amount of plOwing and
seeding done. the acreage of wheat, the
condition of the crop, and the amount
of last years wheat remaining i'll the
granarles.
The report from several counties III
North Dakota indicate encouraging crop
conditions. Nearly all the reports give
the condition Of the crop as good. The
exceptions are from some of the lower
counties where the heavy rains have so
soaked the low fields and some Of the
grain is under swater. The average
acreage of the counties reported will
be about % per cent of last years. Some
counties will have only about half Of
last years, while others will have about
the same area sOwn in wheat. Between
rs and So per cent of the plowing has
been completed. and about so or 80 per
cent of the seeding. A few counties re-
port all the wheat in the ground. Prob
ably fram 10 to 20 per cent of the old
crop remains in the farmers hands.
South Dakota Reports.
The reports from South Dakota show
that the season is well advanced. Very
little plowing remains to be done. In
many places it is finished, and no where
have the farmers more than 10 per cent
to do. The seeding is almost completed.
Wheat is in the ground, and in many
places it is coming up nicely. The re-
ports Oh the condition of the crop agree
that the outlook is good. The main diff
ficulty reported is a prevalence of weeds
| in some places. The acreage will be
slightly increased over last year. Only
a few counties report smaller acreage.
while many have increased from 10 to
| 20 per cent. Very little of the old crop
remains in the granaries. 1t does not
| exceed per cent.

ECCLESIASTICAL ROME.
An Always Present Power That Gives the
City Its Importance.

An Always Present Power That Gives the
City Its Importance.
"Ecclesiastic' Rome is the strong
hold of a most tremendous fact from
whatever point of view Christianity
may be considered. If one could in i'm
agination detach the head of the Catho-
lie church from the church, one would
be obliged to admit that no single living
man possesses the farreaching and last
ing power which in each succeeding pa
pal reign belongs to the pope. Behind
the pope stands the fact which confers,
maintains and extends that power from
century to century-a power which is
one Of the hugest elements of the
worlds moral activity. both in its own
direct action and in the counteraction
and antagonism which it calls forth
continually.
1t is the all pervading presence of this
greatest fact, literally, in Christendom
which has carried on Rome's importance
from the days Of the Caesars across the
chasm Of the dark ages to the days of
modern popes, and it is this really enor-
nous Importance which continually
throws forward into cruel relief the
puerilities and inanities of the daily
outward world. 1t is the consciousness
Of that Importance which makes old Ro-
man society what it is, with it's virtues,
its vices, its prejudices and its strange,
old fashioned, close listed kindliness,
which makes the contrast between the
saturnalia of Shrove Tuesday night and
the cross signed with ashes upon the
forehead of Ash Wednesday morning,
between the careless laughter Of the Ro-
man beauty in carnival and the tragic
earnestness Of the same lovely face when
the great lady kneels in Lent before the
confessional to receive upon her bent
head the light touch Of the penitentiary' .
wand. taking her turn perhaps with 4
score Of women OF the people. Il il the

Known That the Death List in
Jasper County Will Reach
Seventytive.
Great Damage to Railroad and
Other Property-Cloudburst
at McGregOr.

MARsHAILTowN, Ia, May 26.-The
villages of Valeria, Mingo and Santiago,
Jasper county, on the Chicago Great
Western railroad between this city and
Des Moines We're nearly wiped from the
face of the earth by cyclone, and all
adjacent counties were laid waste with
loss of life and great destruction to rail-
way and other property. Reports as 10
the number of victims say IA were
killed at Valeria, 5 at Mingo, III the
coutry a few miles west of Bondurant
and 8 at Santiago.
A terrible spectacle was presented In
one demolished house in Nalerla. Seven
members of a family named Fallous,
father. mother and five children were
found lying among the wreckage III one
room, all dead except the mother, who
is not expected to live. Two children
named Atkins were also killed outright
and q large number of people i'll the
village and the adjacent country were
severely injured.
Later reports say a man named
Charles c. Adlin and his four children
Mike, Susie, Lillian and Charles, Jr.,
were killed. His wife and two sons,
Willie and Dean, are also badly injured,
the former probably fatally.
The storm occurred between and III
o'clock at night and was accompanied
by deafening roar, a deluge of rain
and hail. Its track was several miles

stock was killed and the crops i'll the
path Of the storm utterly
destroyed. 1t is not likely the railroad
will be repaired SO that traffic can be
resumed for several days. The district
traversed by the storm is very fertile.
1t is settled with well-to-do farmers and
villagers. Timber and dead stock are
strewn over the path of the storm i'll all
directions. The death list will prob.
ably aggregate 20, as a number of per
sons are still missing, i'll addition tC
those reported killed and injured. The

Great Damage Done in Northern, Ia, Es-
pecially to Railroads.
DUBUQUE, Ia, May 26.-A terrific
electric storm accompanied by a deluge
of rain, swept overt this section at mid
night, doing immense damage to rail
road property The rainfall was $50
inches, and it came as suddenly and in
such volume as if a waterspout had
burst upon the place. The Mississippi
has risen IL feet in the past eight hours
and is still rising rapidly.
The greatest damage was to railroad
property. Not a train has come into
Dubuque from any direction since Sun
day aft ernoon. 1t is reported that on
the Illinois Central between Dubuque
and Sioux City
Eighteen Bridges Are Washed Away,
and another at Bellevue is gone. North
the road is badly washed out. On the
Great Western east of Dubuque one
bridge j. reported down, but on the
same road west the work of the storm
was most disastrous. Lost bridges and
washouts and wires down are reported
an along. AT Durango, eight miles west,
tie food that swept along the valley
struck the station i'll which We're Mrs.
Clark, the agent. and her four children,
besides Tom Griffin, brakeman, Joe
Griffin, car repairer, and several
others. They were on the depot
platform when the water struck and
swept it away. Details are very

children were drowned and Brakeman
Griffin missing Joe Griffin saved him
self by grasping telegraph wires and
going with the food until he lodged in
q tree How the others were saved it is
not stated.
At Least Four Drowned.
The storm struck the hamlet of Du-
range at o'clock a. m. and in less than
an hour water in the creek raised to a
height Of 20 feet, sweeping everything
before it. In the little town of Clarke,
the station agent and three children
ages ranging from 2 tc years, were
year old, J. C.. Griffin, car repairers
Peter Moss, John Dillon, F. Draller,
wife and two children all went down
the river with the building. 1t was
found a mile away and several of the
inmates rescued. Brakeman Griffin at.
tempted to save one of the Clarke
children but both went down with the
flood, their bodies being found in a
driftwood three miles away. Another
Of the Clarke children was found dead
in tree a mile down the river The
body Of the fourth was seen floating
down the river nearly four miles from
| Durango, but the food was SO great nt
one could reach it. Half mile OF
Great Western side track and half mile
of main at Durango are washed away
Three hundred people are searching the
valley for dead as it is believed there
are others besides those positively
known.
Two persons, Mrs. Ira Rowland ant
William Murray, were seriously hur
at Manchester. No deaths have ye
been reported from that point. In Du
buque county roads are impossible fol
even wagons, and scarcely bridge il
left in the county. At East Dubuqu,
damages will be fully 5000. In thi.
city estimates now place the loss to mu
nicipal and private property at leas

SEVERAL PERSONS MISSING.

Feared the McGregOr ClOudburst Caused
the LOSS of Several Lives.
MILWAUKEE, May GA cloudburst
at North MoGregor, Ia, resulted in
great destruction of property and the
probable loss of several lives.
Tracks on the st. Paul road are under
water, and trains OIL the Prairie du
Chen division only run to McGregor,
the connection with the West being
broken. A small telegraph Office at Nc
Gregor was completely washed away.
Running through McGregor is small

Cooperation in our State Educational
Work. '5

The harmonious cooperation of all
of the State educational institutions
is exceedingly gratifying The common
I schools. Normal schools. and the Uni
Nefsities. are all working together for
the same end. 1t ought to be the aim
of every one Of these branches to help
the Others. The University should
do everything in its power to eHcour-
age the lower divisions of the State
school system, and the lower divisions
should encourage all students who can
possibly do 50 to go on to the Uniyer-
sity. In this way and by this method
ollr admirable State school system will
produce the best results Every work
er in any part of this system should
take an Interest and pride in every
other part Of the system. Our school
system ista pyramid with the common
schools at the bottom and the Univer-
rsity at the top. All.of these schools
from the lowest to the highest belong
fEtq. the people; they are supported by
the people, controlled by, the people.
and the benefits are open to all the
people. They are linked together with
bonds that ought to grow constantly
stronger and stronger. Any teacher
who tries to cut off his little section
of the work from this great system is
not patriotic teacher. such one is
too narrow minded and~selfish to be
worthy Of the name and position of a
worker in the West Virginia public
school system. If there are any such
to-day we believe it is due in most
cases to ignorance of what our State
school system is and ought to be. The
citizens OF Kanawha county ought to
be interested as much In the State
Normal School at Huntington as the
residents of Cabell county, and the
citizens of Martinsburg or Charleston
or Wheeling ought to be as much in
terested in the, University as the citi-
zens Of Morgantown. Everybody in
West Virginia feels that he is part
owner Of the State House and that he
has proprietary interest in the beau
tiful grounds about the capital: just
80, everybody in West Virginia should
feel q like interest in all of our State
educational institutions, because they
are ] the peoples possessions and
ought to be the peoples pride

Institute Instructors.

F. . j. d d
Institute instructors may be
roughly divided into two classes,
those who talk and those who teach.
Of the former class those who mere
III talk in an emotional strain are en-
durable for one Or two"lectures, but
soon become wearisome,E while those
whe affect a "philosophicn strain
are, as a rule, bores OF the most .irri-
Eating sort. What are we here for
and what are We getting for Our mon
ey? is a query which soon springs up
in the mind Of the members who find
that the conductor is Of the talking
variety. On the other hand, the
conductor who attempts to follow
strict class room methods of teach
ing, assigning many lessons to be
studied fand demanding specific
preparation and recitations fails to
grasp the true conception of an insti-
tute. One may be a highly success
fal teacher and q poor in
stitute conductor. The latter must
be able to arouse interest On short
notice and. to sustain it when awak=
ened; he must get from his class
enough responses toquestions either
from individuals or'from the class IN
concert response. to make sure that
all are following his line Of thought,
must have peculiar ability either
acquired OF instructive to feel when
ne has Of has not responsive SYM
pathetic following in his audience,
and in case he has not, must be quick
to, shift his plans to meet the eSigen-
cies Of the case me Wester5a
