the pressure of party machines. 1t will be hated but respected by every party which dares noS incorporate the platform of the order in its own. The great majority of our order have waited patiently during the past year for some sign from one or other of the political parties that 1t has received a change of heart and is honest enough to publicly express 1t There are few republicans, such as Linton. of Michigan: Gear. of Iowa: Bradley. of Ken- lucky; Stone, of Missouri, who have been fear less in their indorsement of our principles, and while 1t may be fortunate that they are re- publicans, 1t is more than fortunate that they are not either the republican party or repre- sentatives of that body. and the question should be asked and answered here and now that while the A. F. A.isms of these men is tolerated by the party for the A. P. A votes which each of them carries behind him. what assurance have we that this toleration will not cease the moment the votes have been de- lvered.
 The president expresses regret that the A. P. A. has, in some states. been used by party machines. He discour. ages any attempt to secure the nom- inatiou of a member of the order for the presidency by either party, and says that mo member of our grand organization could ever receive with. in 100 votes sufficient to make him the nominee of either one of the great parties, even though that member were the immortal Linton himself"
 The only reference to church mat. ters in the address are the following:
 we'll meaning and by no means unimpor- tant section of the order has arisen which ad- vocates peace with the priests and his subjects and harmony between them and the members of the order. Some would even go so far as to negotiate with them politically. than which nothing could be more dangerous to the per- petuity of the association. Others go as far as to take the position that member of the order possesses the right to determine for himself the question of the loyalty or disloyalty of any papist postulant for office. and reserves to him- self the right to persuade others to vote for said papist Such U contention is not only ab- solutely untenable. but highly dangerous. The candidate voluntarily renounces the right of private judgment in this essential when he be- comes a member of the order. It is solemn compact which he can neither modify nor amend. The keystone of the A. P A. is the fact that a papist, no matter how liberal nomi- nally. is not consistent citizen of the United States. Entire renunciation of the papacy must precede his acceptance of our association as a candidate worthy of its suffrages.

A Great Master Thief,


 So long as Hind kept to the road his life was one long comedy. His wit and address were inexhaustible and fortune never found him at loss. He would avert suspicion with the tune of psalm, as when, habited as a pious shepard, he broke travellers head with his crook and deprived him of his horse. An early adventure was to force pot-valiant parson, who had drunk a cup too much at wedding, into rarely farcical situation. Hind, having robbed two gentlemen's ser wants of round sum, went ambling along the road until he encountered a parson. Sir" said he, "I am closely pursued by robbers You dare swear, will not stand by and see inc plunder- ed." Before the parson could protest he thrust pistol into his hand and bade him fire it at the first conner, while he rode off to raise the county. Meanwhile, the rifled travellers came up with the parson, who, straightway mistaking them for thcives, fired with out affect, and then riding forward flung the pistol in the face of the near est. Thus the parson of the parish was dragged before the magistrate, while Hind, before his dupe could furnish an explanation, had placed many a mile between himself and his adversaries. es.--Macmillan's Magazine.

 but Kills No One
Number of School Children Hurt-Ths Path of the storm Was Marrow and short-seversi Houses Destroyed
 -Damage at Lincoln.

ErKUoRy, Neb., May 13-A cyclone swept this section yesterday afternoon. fnpnel.shaped cloud shot downward from the storm center and Q general stampede of citizens for caves and cell lars ensued. At the schoolhouse the children fled panic.stricken to the furnace room, amid the widest con fusion. and number of the little ones were hurt The cyclone struck the ground north of the town. Its course Was northwest. The path of the storm was from 200 to 800 yards wide, and everything in this path was razed othe ground, including several houses. Large trees along the highway adja- cent were torn and twisted out of the ground. Carl Johnson, prominent farmer, was caught in the twister. He had team attached to a wagon. He endeavored to skirt the storm by driv. ing in a mea low to the westward, but before he could lash his horses out of the path of the rapidly approaching hurricane, he was caught in it's vortex, and man, horses and wagon were sent through space, together with fences, boards, posts, wire and other debris. His clothes were torn from his back, and he received a number of wounds. At times the wind raised him high in the air and then dropped him back to the earth, only to catch him up again. The wagon was completely demol- ished
 After traversing distance of about two miles the funnel.shaped cloud arose as suddenly as it had shot down to the earth, and at a point five or six miles farther to the north dropped again to the earth, where it is feared great damage and loss of life resulted.

The Election Law of Missouri Practically .
 Dead Letter.


 KANSAS CITY. Mo. May Bay a decision handed down by Judge Bur. gess in the supreme court at Jefferson City this morning the indictments against John May, Charles S. Owsley, John Moran. H. c. Bristow, R. L. Krueger, O. w. Kruger and other prin- cipals accused of the conspiracy to steal the election of 1894, stand for nothing and the alleged conspirators are to go free. The decision is that under the existing law. only judges and clerks can be convicted of the crime of election stealing or ballot box stufing. The cases of the entire gang hinged upon the slender technicality of the legal meaning of the words ''other persons" The court held that ''other persons" meant only election officers in fact. The case of O. A. Clark, one of the Judges of precinct No. 5, who was con- victed and sentenced to nine months Tor falsifying returns, was reversed and the case remanded to the lower court

 WASHINGTON, May 15.-The most noteworthy feature of yesterdays ses- sion of the American Protective asso- citation was the inno vation made by giving to the public the annual ad- dress of President w.

No New Thing.

The tendency to ape men in their dress, so noticeable at the present time in a certain type of woman, far from being modern, is as old as the Spectator, at least, if not older, and Addison in an essay comments upon it with gentle humor. A lady. dressed ac- cording to the fashion of the advanced woman of the time. in a mans hat, periwig and riding-coat, met tenant of Sir Roger de Beverley. She asked whether house near at hand were not Beverley hall. The man seeing only the male part of his querist, re- piled, "Yes, sir" But upon the further question whether Sir Roger was q married man, chancing to drop his eye to the lady's skirt, the embar- rassed man changed his note to No, madam!"-London Spectator.
