HE CUT HIS THROAT.
A Wealthy st. Louis Merchants
Mind Unbalanced by the Storm.

So. LOUIS, June 10.-A tragic sequel
to the tornado was the suicide, early
Wednesday morning, of John Reuben
Best, wealthy lumber merchant, at
his residence, 1411 Missouri Ave. In
seeking death Mr.. Best had cut his
throat from ear to ear.
On the afternoon of the tornado, Mr..
Best left the office of the Cotton Belt
Lumber Company, of which he was
President, room 22l, Odd Fellows
building, walked down to Fourth and
boarded a cable car bound toward his
home. While on the car, the storm
blew up and when near Eighteenth
and Chouteau, the car was stopped.
When Mr.. Best saw the houses go
down before the storm, he feared that
his wife and children had been buried
in the ruins.
Dashing through the rain to the COR
ner of Park and Mississippi, he en-
countered terrible shock upon view
ing the tornado's work. The suspense
he endured before reaching home af.
feeted his mind, though he found his
home and family safe.

A WILD MONTANA STORY.
An Incident of Travel Which Seems
Too Strange to Be True.
From the Anaconda standard.


Len Henry, a well known pioneer,
relates an adventure that is out of the
usual order. He was travelling on a
narrow trail above the raging Grande
Ronde river, when he came to a land
slide about twentp feet across that left
no trail or even niche in the smooth,
precipteous rock. The trail was so
narrow that the horse could not turn
back. He was trapped. Above the
twenty-foot break in the trail was q
sharp crag of rock. On his saddle bow
was strong RATA sixty feet long aud
Harry is an expert in the use of it. He
steadied himself ON the saddle, swung
the rope over his head and hurled 1t
high in the air. 1t waB settled firmly
over the crag. He tried it carefully.
1t was firm. His saddle was new and
strong one, with double cinches.
Around the horn he wound the rope.
He urged the horse on to the edge OF
the precipice.
The faithful beast stood firm. He
would not step over, but the rider
drew up the slack and pulled with all
his power. Inch by inch he drew the
straining horse forward till his feet
slipped and he swung over the chasm.
The rider held his breath as he looked
at the river below and the slender
rope above, but he was across the gap.
He pulled and the horse lunged up in
to the trail with the chasm back be-
hind. Mr.. Henry rode away and left
his rope dangling for the use of the
next wayfarer who ehanced to come
that Way.

IMPORTANT EXPERIMENTS.
State Board of Agriculture to Make
Interesting Tests.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, June 10.-Arrange-
ments have been completed by the
Executive Committee of the Missouri
State Board of Agriculture for series
of experiments with Texas cattle to as
certain the value of dipping infected
Southern cattle In some fluid that will
kill the Texas tick, with view of
rendering them incapable of spread
ing the infection. Native cattle will
be inoculated with a serum in order to
render them immune to the Southern
fever, thereby enabling Missouri
breeders to supply Texas with inn
proved males. Experiments will also
be conducted to ascertain what eonnec-
ton, II any, the Texas tick has in COM
municating splenetic fever. A box of
ticks have been received from Aus
tralia by Prof. Walters, director Of the
experiment station. This is supposed
to be fever bearing insect, and will
be thoroughly tested on native cattle.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Tornado Periods.


1t has been said that the reduction
of the forest era may partially explain
the phenomena, but this is scarcely
tenable. The storm record was not
kept with any approach to accuracy in
former times in this country, but in
the first half of the century number
of disastrous tornadoes are recorded.
There was a visitation of the kind in
1s40, by which as many persons were
killed and injured as were killed and
injured by all the tornadoes which have
swept the western country thus far this
year, previous to the one which
struck st. Louis. In June, 1912, Adams
County, Mississippi, was visited by a
tornado which killed 500 persons.
The fatalities nearly equaled those
chargeable to all the cyclones and
storms which visited the entire country
in 1894, and exceeded the storm casu-
alities of the country IN 1896.
The tornado is more likely to ap-
pear in May and June than IN other
months, but it seems to have all sea-
sons for it's own. On the 9th of Feb
ruary, 1884, there were sixty of these
disturbances, distributed over the ter
ritory of eight states. The resultant
deaths were 500; persons injured
$500; buildings destroyed, estimated
at 10000. The storm which directly
caused the greatest loss of human life
during the century was that which de-
vastated the Gulf coast of Louisiana in
October, 1898, when 1000 perished.
Ths greatest money loss inflicted by a
violent wind storm was that suffered
by the residents of Wisconsin and
Minnesota in September, 1884, the es-
innate reaching $4,000, 900. The Mid
die and New England states are not
included in what is scientifically desig-
mated as the tornado region, but these
states have not been exempt from such
callers.
The loss of life resulting from lorna.
does, cyclones and lightning in some
years doesnot equal that resulting from
falling buildings and other preventabls
causes of disasters. 1t is more thar
probable that many more persons viii
be killed and injured this year by theil
own carelessness, or by the malice ol
carelessness of their fellows, than by
those terrifying forces of nature which
have recently manifested themselves
in the west. The fall Of the bridge al
Victoria, E. O., recently by which prob
ably 100 persons lost their lives, is an
immediate illustration of the daily peri
of which we scarcely take note as We
| 90 about our affairs.
