THEY WANT TO KNOW.

The Board of Tralein their last
meeting instructed Secretary 6. A.
HAYS to write the Southwestern
Telephone Company doing business
here asking them to improve their
plant and make reductions in prices.
The secretary sent off the olow
ing letter to Mr.. Foster of Dallas,
aud will await an early reply before
the board is called together to
know what steps IS to be taken in
the matter:
To the Southwestern Telegraph and
Telephone Company.
Gentlemen:-Under the direction
of Texarkana Board Of Trade, l
write to ask you to extend the SER
vice of your telephone exchange in
Texarkana, Arkansas and Texas
and to reduce the rates on same to
conform to the advancement in
electrical science and the cheapness
of electrical apparatus.
Until very recently our exchange
had only about thirty-eight sui
scribers, and the rates charged
were more than double those of
other cities. The exchange has been
and a reduction has been
made in the rates; but we still
have only about SO phones in use
and the rates are more than twice
What the average rate should be.
Our Board of Trade are of opin
ion that with a reasonable reduc-
tion in rates and the proper effort
on your part the exchange might
be extended to three hundred
phones and if your company will re-
duce the rates to 81 for residence
and 81 tor business houses our
Board will pledge you their support
and will ever feel under obligations
to you.
Your early reply will greatly
oblige. Yours truly,
G. A. HAYS,
Secretary, Board of Tfade.

SHERMAN'S VISITATION,
The Funnel Shaped Cloud
Pays this Beautiful Texas
City a Visit.
60 KlLLEU 100 INJURED.
The Path of the Storm Was Narrow
and the Larger Portion Of the
City Escaped Destruc-
tion.
60 KILLEU 100 INJURED.

On Friday evenin. while we were
having d hail storm, Sherman,
Texas, town some $50 miles from
here on the Transcontineutll rail
road, was being visited by a funnel
shaped cloud that laid many houses
low, killing and wouuding many of
the occupants.
IT is said the storm struck Sher-
man without warning and cleared a
path 100 yards wide along the west
end of the town. The negro part
of the town suffered mos as fifty
cabins were torn to pieces and some
forty or fifty negroes killed and
many wounded
The storm was accompanied by a
shower of mud which was sucked
up from the ground and hurled
over everything in the path of the
storm.
AS soon as the blow had subsidized,
relief parties were organized and
many buggies and carriages con-
yerted into vehicles to haul the
dead and wounded to places where
they could be cared for.
A better description of the storm
and how it worked devastation cam
not be given than that by a Mr.,
Bastic to a newspaper reporter.
He said: 81 was at Mr.. John Iovine's
when ! heard the noise of the APP
preaching storm. Just as looked
out ! saw Capt. Burgess house
blown into the air and then Mrs.
Shearers house. The air was filed
with great trees, and every conceiv-
able kind of article. / was fasci-
mated, petrifed, for saw it was
coming directly upon us, and that
it could not be long in reaching us.
1t was black serpentlne cloud,
twisting, writhing in the center,
but at the bottom it seemed to be
moving steadily, ! woke up from
my stupor and called out 70 the
family that we were in it and asked
them not to run out. | feared
that we would all be struck by fy-
ing timbers. Then came an awful
crash, sense of suffocation, and
when it was over the house was
gone and myself and the family
were scattered about the yard and
under the debris. 1t was over in
such short time / cannot giveyou
an idea of bow long it was.
The property destroyed will foot
up $l50,OOO. The citizens raised
three thousand dollars to take care

HARROD ON TILLMAN,

When Tillmau spoke at Little
Rock he was listened to very atten-
lively by Col. Dan Jones and he
took a chance or two to put in a
word for Jones candidacy, which
of course was duly appreciated by
the Colonel. Harrod did not have a
seat on the political roost next to
the big boss bolter, not that he
feared his pitchfork, but he was in
rear of the hall where the air was
not quite so Tillmanistic, He said
when asked what he thought OF
Tillman
"Tllman is posing as a Democrat
and a stateman. In my humble
Judgment he is neither ! regard
him as a Populist and a demagogue,
an agitator whose mission is to
break up the Solid South. If the
true friends Of silver should win at
Chicago and adopt a free coinage
platform and nominate a true silver
man for President, unless | am
greatly mistaken in the man. TIL

and most chagrined man between
