COMPLEXION OF CONGRESS
Republicans Already Forecastins
Good Sized Majority.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 2S.-The
first rough estimate of the political
complexion of the next House of Rep
resentatives has been made at the Re-
publican Congressional headquarters,
though care is taken that the estimate
shall not be considered as an official
statement issued by the committee.
According to this statement there can
be no reasonable doubt that the next
House will be Republican, though it is
conceded that it is not expected that
the phenomenal and at times unwildy
majority of the present House will be
retained. From the figures now in the
hands of the committee modest ma
jority of only seven is claimed, but a
study of the States will show that in
every case there has been claimed only
the lowest possible number of repre-
sentatiyes. Thus in Indiana, which is
now represented in the House by full
delegation of thirteen Republicans, on
ly nine members are claimed. Similar
ly only twelve Republicans are claimed
for Ohio, though there are at present
nineteen Republicans in the House. A
spirit of extreme conservatism has
been maintained throughout, and the
outlook is accordingly that the first
official statement issued by Chairman
Babcock will be far more liberal in its
claims. The following condensed state
ment will show where the Republicans
hope to win their representatives

IN CASES OF ANGER.

Bad children in the schools of Tur-
key, Persia and China suffer a very
painful mode of punishment known as
the bastinado. The soles of the feet
are severely struck with lath, paddle,
or stick of bamboo, sometimes until
the blood issues from beneath the
nails. This mode is particularly in
vogue in Mohammedan schools, where
children are taught to read the Koran.
Prof. Lyman Cobb, veteran New
York schoolmaster, who a half cen
fury ago was the author of a number
of school books, teachers manuals and
the like, expressed his opinion that
when child becomes very angry and
perhaps throws himself upon the floor
sudden dash of cold water in the face
or on the back of the head and neck
will have an excellent effect Some
times" he continued, 'boys become
angry at each other. The parent or
teacher can cause them to drink a
considerable quantity of cold water, or
he can turn some on their heads or on
the back of their necks. School boys
sometimes fight and quarrel. A pail
full of water thrown over them will
cool their anger and youthful ardor.
In the winter let them when in anger
be required to eat SNOWFALL and it
will have a capital effect in allaying
an excited temper"
In another paragraph of advice this
original disciplinarian preseribes that
angry boys should also, in winter, be
required to stand close to the fire until
breaking into profuse perspiration.

Not many years ago in Germany

passages before the school rooms,

HURRICANE AT HOWE.
Many Barns and Some Dwellings Wrecked
in Lake County by q Hurricane satur-
day Evening-One Woman and
Girl Injured.

n Details are coming in to-day OF the
hurricanes wrath which passed over this
county last Saturday evening from five
to six o'clock. Two portentously black
clouds came up from the south about
five o'clock in the evening passing up
the west and east sides OF the county,
and concentrating their fury in wind in
the northwest part OF the county and
meanwhile poured out a deluge Of rain.
On the south of this place the wind mill
of Frank Keller was wrecked and from
Dan Rounds place to Sol. Ayers a hail
storm prevailed which broke many
window lights but did no further dam
age.X
On The east side the town hall of
Wentworth and the German church
were lifted off their foundations ind
some smaller buildings wrecked but not
as much damage done as farther north.
Smaller buildings at Winfred were
considerably shaken up, windows broken
and people badly scared. AS the hurri-
cane passed %northward it became
more violent and when it passed G. G.
Laughl,n's it tore his barn all to pieces.
He was just rushing to the cellar with
his family when he Say his barn 60 fly

a terrific roar and blast as it passed but
was all over. in an instant ihe says. His
house withstood the gale. Other barns
or moved from their foundations are
those Of Joe Cress, Aug. Fisher, l..
Abraham, the big barn on the Gus. Cor
neylson place and others. Farther north
Obediah Berniger had one barn torn to
pieces and another carried away from it's
moorings. H. H. Coles barn 1882, was
wrecked and also his windmill. Still
farther north it wrecked the barn of
Frank Knight, and eastward toward Ra-
mona Geo. Stewards and Al. Dyken's
barns were struck. The latter's a large
structure 4Ox7O feet was carried from
the foundation and turned round. The
roof was taken from the house of John
Sharpe, and the barn OF Corless Wing
on the Ed. Olmstead place was picked
up and thrown against the house. Thos.
Ferguson's windmill was destroyed.
The residence OF Frank Cissell was
