1t is remarked by an exchange that
the most popular editor, as well as the
most popular country preacher, is the
one who avoids lrcading on anybody's
toes. Such an editor or such a preacher
however, must necessarily be a hypocrite,
for every man endowed with brains must
haze opinions, idess, and convictions OF
his own, and should nor hesitate to ex>
press them in a proper way when oe'
casion requires. Policy controls too
many people and makes moral towards
Of men.

SCORES ARE KILLED,
Terrible Cyclone Strikes the Tow,

Terrible Cyclone Strikes the Town
of Sherman, Texas.
, A dispatch dated May 15, from Sher-
man, Texas, says: Just few minutes
before this evening, cyclone not ex-
ceeding two blocks in width, but carrying
widespread destruction and death in its
wake, swept through the western half of
the city, travelling almost directly north.
The approach of the terrific whirlwind
was announced by deep rumbling noise
not unlike reverberating thunder. A
fierce and driving rain accompanied it.
Late tonight it is reported that forty
people have been killed south of town in
addition to the city's death list. Wagons
are unloading the dead and injured every
moment.
The clouds when first observed were
parted at the lower side, converging into
perfect funnel shape, while boil
ing, seething mass of vaporous
clouds was 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 from the
point where it seemed to have first de-
scended to where it suddenly arose from
the ground, just north of the city. 1t left
terrific marks of its passage, not house
in its pathway escaping; not tree or
shrub left standing, or that is not twisted
and torn out of shape. Fences are gone.
The iron bridge on Houston Street is COM
pletely wrecked and blown away, not
withstanding its hundreds of thousands of
pounds of steel and material. The num-
ber of persons wounded will reach not
less than one hundred and it will be
several days before the exact number of
fatalities can be given, as many persons,
especially children, are missing and many
of the injured are in such critical shape
that score may die before morning.
Denton, Tex, May ia tornado
struck the town of Gribble Springs, eight
miles north of Denton, this afternoon.
-Four persons were killed and five others
so badly injured that they cannot live.
The property damage is great.
Justin, Tex, May IA cyclone struck
the town of Justin to-day at 2:20 p. m,
blowing twelve houses down, killing W.
J. Evans of Keller, Tex, and badly in
juring seventeen others. The storm also
did much damage north of here.

Six persons were shot and d mum Der of
Others seriously injured in riot at Maca-
doc, a town four miles from Hazleton,
Pa. A game of baseball was in progress
when gang of drunken Italians charged
upon the players and spectators with re-
volvers, clubs and stones. a few DAYS
before an Italian had been arrested for
assault. A number of young men took
him from the constable and numerically
beat him. The Italians threatened re-
venge and carried out the threat. The
first inning had just been finished when
there was pistol shot, followed by
promiScuous discharge of fire arms. The
crowd attempted to run away, but the
Italians chased them, discharging their
pistols and throwing stones. The foreign
ers were almost mad with rage and blazed
away incessantly until the police arrived.
Ward, who was catching, was seriously
injured and is in critical condition.

Immense Damage Being Done by

Immense Damage Being Done by
Them in West Virginia.
Hundreds of men from all sections
brayely but Intellectually fought the forest
fires, which, at o'clock Sunday night,
after continuing forty hours, burned more
fieroely than ever. Lumbermen, who
estimated the probable loss at $500, 600
state that amount has been exceeded, and
are unwilling to make any further pre-
dlctionS of the loss. The Middle Fork
tract is completely wiped out. The ad
joining forest is burning with indications
that the entire county, including the
towns and villages, will be devastated
unless rain prevents. The weather is
dry, the high winds continue and the at
mosphere is sitting with smoke and heat.
Women and children in the mountain
villages are preparing to flee from their
homes for refuge in the larger towns.
The fires started in several places at the
same time from no known cause. 1t is
now thought TO have been the work of in
cendiaries, who are seeking revenge
against the new owners. So far as known
no lives have vet been lost.

The Wife Objected.

Just before the ship America left ner
dock in San Francisco last week for
a voyage to the fish-canning station at
Copper River, Prince William Sound.
with a large party of Gamers and fish
ermen, a search was made for stow
aways. Down among the stores in the
hold a stowaway was found who PROV
ed to be a woman, the wife of one of
the fishermen. She objected to being
parted from him for the several months
of the fishing season, and declined to
leave the ship, fiercely fighting the
sailors who tried to take her from the
hold. Finally she was lassoed with q
rope about her waist and hoisted out
of the hold and over to the wharf.
where. she sat crying bitterly as the
ship was towed out into the stream.

AT O'Clock Sunday evening a terrific

Frankfort, Kan, from the southwest.
Everything in the north and west ends of
town was completely wrecked. Some Of
the best residences of the city were blown
to atoms. Reports coming in from the

When the Moose Sheds His Horns

Very few people have ever seen
bull moose shed his horns. This trans
formation usually takes place between
Jan. 1 and Jan. s, during which time
the animal is very ugly. The bull
moose in the Ellerton moose park in
Roseau commenced shedding his horns
on the date mentioned, and during the
process performed some queer antics.
He would run and jump at everything
in his way, butt trees and fences, and
his mates were driven by the big fel-
low hither and thither. A kicking
bronco was turned into the park, and
for few minutes the fight was terrific,
the bronco coming out winner with his
heels. Finally the moose backed away
and made a run for the horse. This
was too much for the bronco, who fed
for dear life, with the moose in full
pursuit The race was made around
the corral ten times before the moose
could be stopped and the horse taken
away from the enraged animal, which
was accomplished with no little trou-
BILE and danger.-Minneapolis Journal.

FILLED IN SELF DEFENSE.
Grant Santee's Slayer Acquitted in
Holt County.


The case of the state of Nebraska
against VIM. r. Welch was brought TO
q close at Chadron Friday by the acknoWl-
edgment OF the county attorney that the
state had failed to make case against the
defendant.
During the last few hours of the trial
The defense introduced some very sensa-
tional testimony showing that Santee, the
murdered man, had sworn to Kill Welcn.
On the day of the murder it was proven
that he had in his possession a small iron
.evis, which was afterWard found on MS
person and which it is alleged he used
