Motion Of q Tornado.

A comparison Of the experiences Of
persons struck by tornado in Texas
shows some curious facts Those who
saw the wind cloud coming at a distance
agree that in shape it was like an ele-
plants trunk, the taper end down, the
large end up.
They say 1t had three motions, sue
tion, whirling and pounding. These
three, however, are all included in the
one whirl Of that mad dance Of the
wind. It ran forward, whirling spirally,
as wa1tzer does. In the center its tre-
mendous force sucked up into it all
movable objects it encountered and re-
duced many Of them to powder. A heavy
building was nothing in it's path. First
it lifted the house to the height of from
IL to 10 feet, then the structure seemed
to explode into splinters In some cases
all that was left of large handsome
dwellings houses were some bits of
kindling wood scattered through fields
hundreds Of yards away. Men and
women were caught in that terrific
waltz OF death. swirled up and actually
thrown many feet ahead OF where the
wind cloud was at that moment resting.
The forward movement was not so great
but that persons who saw the thing ap-
proach and realized what it was could
leave their houses and get out Of it's
way. Safety was often found in cellars
The experiences Of many, however, were
like that Of a newcomer in the tornado
belt, man who next day bought a
ticket back to his native Tennessee. He
told a reporter Of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat: .....
II seen it a-comin and put my shoul-
der agin the door. The roof went off.
Then me and the door went up through
the hole. That is all I know about it. -

Indications are strong that the time
is near when all differences between the
United States and Great Britain will be
settled by arbitration. For that pur-
pose tribunal, permanent in it's char
acter, in wisdom and dignity somewhat
like the supreme court of the United
States, will be chosen from the best men
OF both nations. They will hold office
during life, as judges of high standing
do, and to them will be submitted ques-
tions on which differences Of opinion
arise. This board Of arbitration will set
the standard for other nations to follow,
and in time they, too, will create inter
national tribunals to peacefully and i'm
partially consider conflicting rights and
interests. When that time comes, then
will follow universal disarmament
among the nations.

Spoil Roads.

Writes a country correspondent:
i''Why people will not drive in the
middle Of a graded road is a mystery
to us. The fact is that where the
grader has been used this year the
people are driving on one side. Of the
grade. This is not the fault of the
grader nor the road overseers, but en-
tirely the fault of the driving public.
[ would suggest that all drivers! use
common sense and get the track where
it ought to be, and not all curves, and
bends as it now is in many places. It
will look better and be easier to drive
over as we'll" No doubt there is con-
siderable ground for this complaint.
on the other hand, however, those
driving very frequently have just
ground for complaint when they find
roads in fair condition torn up, not be-
cause it is hoped to improve them, but
simply in order to give some man an
opportunity to put in his time working
out his road tax to suit his own con-
venience. There are such cases.-Red

They Help Each Other.

The effort of any newspaper to build
up town is practically nullifed unless
it is backed up by the business men.
If stranger turns from the news
column of a paper to it's advertising
pages, and if he fails to find there the
advertisement or business card, he
naturally comes to the conclusion that
there is either nothing in the town or
the publisher is not appreciated.
No town ever grew without the as
sistance of it's newspaper. Nor can a
paper grow and build up its locality
without the assistance Of the, town.
Business men should realize. this and
remember that in giving support to a
newspaper they are not only building
up their own business, but are helping
to support that which is steadily work
ing for the benefit of the whole com
munity. Buchanan Iva. Banner. g !.

q It could hardly have happened any
where else than in America, that NOV
ing Of whole town which recently &C.
CURED in Washington state. The name
OF the town was Wentachee, and q few
days ago the inhabitants thereof went
at she with vim and moved her two
miles to the bank Of a river, where they
had plentiful supply of water. Scare
ity Of water was the chief reason for the
exodus, although the rapacity Of the
men who owned town lots in the old
place had something to do with it too.
They held the lots at so exorbitant q
price that the town simply moved away
and left them stranded. Now the lots
will have to revert to COW pastures. It
was sweet revenge on the real estate
agents. The buildings will be removed
carefully and set up upon the new sites.
With the modern appliances for trans
ferring buildings from one spot to an
other this is no more SO difficult a task.
But such migrations remind one of the
time of Father Abraham or the red In
dian.

Ohio's Liquor Law.

The original Ohio liquor law seems
to give fair satisfaction to all parties. It
cannot be used politically, for it has no
special officers for it's enforcement. Its
principle was to put moderate tax on
saloon keepers at first, then when the
law had made its way into public favor,
to increase that tax. This has been
done. The number Of saloons has been
greatly decreased and the revenues from
the liquor business largely increased.
Mr.. Thomas McDougall Of Cincin-
natl, who framed the Ohio law, says of
it's provisions:
$780, This increase meets no opposition of any
kind, and 1t may probably be followed in q
few years with further increase to $500. Each
increase being in response to public sentiment
irrespective of party, the matter is removed
from the domain Of party politics. We have
no excise board nor machinery of any kind
for the enforcement of the tax law other than
the laws which apply to the collection of taxes
in general. The liquor tax Is payable at the
same time and to the same treasurer as taxes
upon personal and real property. This, you
see, avoids the creation Of numerous offices
III Ihe olstr1DuGlon OF Which patronage plays a
part. We deal with the business and not with
the man engaged in the business. Failure to
pay the liquor tax Is not crime. It merely
carries with 1t a per cent penalty as in the
failure to pay other taxes When the tax is
not paid, the treasurer sends wagon and
two deputies, who take possession of the fur
niture and fixtures Of the saloon and sell them
at auction. If the proceeds of the sale do not
meet the amount of the tax, the owner Of the
property is held responsible for the balance
the state holding lien prior to all mortgages
The owner of the property is thus forced in
self protection to assist the state in the en-
forcement of the law Another advantage of
the Ohio law is that, failure to pay the tax due
not being crime, juries do not deal with Of
tenders. '-

Slick Scheme.

= -
Several years ago, a sleek-looking
man approached a farmer living in the
northwest portion of Dakota county
and offered to buy forty acres of his
farm and pay him liberal price for
it. This was agreed to and the man
was to pay 800 cash and several lots
lying in an addition to the city of St.
Paul. A plat Of the addition was ex-
hibited and the deeds exchanged. It
was then discovered that the addition
to the city lots was located on the forty
acres which he had sold, which proved
to be the addition to the city of St.
Paul, although situated twenty miles
from St. Paul. Nort7l1ield Neevs. {. (.

Blind Injustice.

TO the person looking at affairs from
the plain common sense point Of view
legal Justice at times takes on the form
OF rank injustice and oppression. One
OF the laws most cruel in Its workings
is that which permits the imprisonment
IN common Jail of witnesses who are
wanted in important trials. For no
crime except that Of being a wholly un-
concerned and oftentimes involuntary
witness Of a street brawl or a quarrel or
theft or other offense, man or woman
may be seized like common criminal
caught in his lawbreaking and thrust
into Jail along with the vilest charac-
tiers. q noted murder trial at present
before the courts is case in point. The
murder itself was committed last Au-
gust. The person suspected Of the crime
was arrested. Two men, both known to
be wholly innocent Of any connection
with the murder, were supposed to be in
possession Of knowledge that would give
light at the trial One Of them was q
rich man. He was able to give bail and
SO got free. The other was poor and lit
tie known. Therefore he was thrust into
jail at the same time the accused person
was and there he has languished since
last summer. It is an outrage that such
things should be permitted in civilized
country. In order to get through this
world safely it is necessary to have one
OF two things-either plenty of money
or a very high character.

MOTHER SLAPPED HIS FACE.
Therefore Theodore Appel of New
York Took Poison.

New York, oct. TN a lonely cornero OF
the woods back of Cypress Hills Gene
terry, two men found the dead body or
Theodore Appel. a boy of eighteen, atnoon
yesterday Ii was evident from the bottle
of Iaris green that lay beside the corpse,
thar the boy was suicide, and as evident
from the twiGs crushed in his fingers, that
he had died in agony.
Appel was the child of wealthy mother,
was a handsome boy, and had only one
reason, as far as known, for ending his
life. on Thursday last he quarreled with
his mother, and she slapped him in the
face. The blow caused the young MAN in
tense humiliation, and he left the house
on Monday morning. He was not seen
again until his body was found yesterday.
Mrs Appel moved last Thursday to a
house in Williamsburg. While the FUR
niture was being taken oat OF The house Mrs.
Appel it is said, scolded Theodore for
not doing his share OF the work. He re-
Piled angrly and she slapped him. The
boy turned and walked away.
Mrs. Appel seemed depressed after that,
and on SatuFtla she was seen on Broadway
CRYING. Her health is not good, and her
sou was afraid TO tell her last night of
Tteodore's suicide.
