houses blown to pieces, several lives
were lost, among them Mrs. Powers,
who was caught beneath the falling
timbGrs of her house and crushed. Her
husband was unable to save her and
was himself badly hurt, but he rushed
off through the binding rain and in.
tense darkness for assistance. The rest
of tho family were rescued, among
them baby 3 weeks old, whom the
mother protected at the loss of her own
life.
The second section of the cyclone
was dotlected upon the Flint valley,
breaking across south Georgia and
passing through Arlington, where but
a few weeks ago nine children were
killed in the ruins of their schoolhouse.
Reaching Valdosta the storm became
intensified in fury and trees were blown
down in every part of the city. A
church III the southern part of the city
was wrenched from its foundation and
twisted into fragments by the angry
winds.
The boxcars on the Plant system were
blown off the track. Lightning struck
in the Western Union telegraph office
and set fire to the building.

A Patriot Who Possesses Nerve and STRAIT

Expedition After Expedition on the ISL
andAHis Most Famous Adventure.
General Emilio Nunez is known an
the pirate" of the Cuban cause. He
is the chief of the flibusters. There
is enough of the sensational in his
makeup to entrance youthful minds,
and If all his experiences on expedi-
lions were written they would furnish
enough pabulum to satisfy the most
voracious reader of tales of adventure.
He has sent between thirty and for
ty expeditions to Cuba during the
present struggle. Most OF them were
successful. General Weyler would
feel happy if some day the chief of the
filibusters should fall into Spanish
hands. 1t would go hard with Nunez,
but the pirate" has no fear that he
will be captured. He simply laughs at
any suggestion of being made prison.

that struggle. Before the war ended
he had risen to a colonelcy. When
peace was restored Nunez came to this
country and as soon as the legal time
had elapsed, was naturalized as an
American citizen. He had lost all his
money in the struggle and he sought
fortune in the United States. During
the war between Chilli and Peru he
was offered a generalship in the army
of the latter country. This he de-
clined, stating that he would fghc
only for the freedom of Cuba or for his
adopted land.

THE DECEMBER MAGAZINES.

1t has for many years been the custom
of the Outlook to publish at about this
time of the year special book number
devoted largely to the holiday books and
to articles of special interest to our
readers. This year the book number
contains, besides its usual full and
discriminating reviews of holiday books,
several articles relating to book-making,
book binding, and book-illustration.
The number has a special cover design
peculiarly fitted for the purpose, and
contains very large number of illustra-
tions. 1t is beyond doubt the best
illustrated and most readable of all The
Outlook's book numbers. (S3 q year.

What would you do if war should be
declared tomorrow with a European
power? How would it change your home
life, the lives of your brother and other
relatives? How would it affect you'll
business connections and business
What changes would it make in financial,
city, state and national affairs? 1t is
these interesting problems which a
writer in the December Cosmopolitan
has undertaken to sketch under the
heading of "A Brief History of Our Late
War With Spaln," at the same time
wildly describing the exciting scenes
which would attend the opening of
hostilities.

At the outbreak of the present Gu
ban war he was appointed by General
Gomez to be the head of the filibusters
because of his peculiar qualifications.
He was given the rank of a brigadier
general. General Nunez has cool
head. He has the reputation of being
fearless, and his dislike for the Span
ish government is intense. He has a
supreme contempt for the Spanish
forces in Cuba and talks in jestlng
manner of the naval vessels which
Spain has around the Queen of the
Antilles.
why, if l had two cruisers like the
New York and the Philadelphia of the
American navy" said he to me- the
whole Spanish naval force around Gu
ba would disappear in a few days.
Their gunboats are no good When
one of our filibustering steamers fires
a shot at them they run away. All
that is necessary is to show fight"
Nunez has a rough side to his char
acter. He is dare devil. On many
of the expeditions his men would be-
come alarmed at the appearance of a
Spanish gunbOat and would express
fear of being captured. Then Nunez
would light his cigar and laugh.
1--WE are not caught yet he would
reply. Give them a shot"
The filibusters would then fire a shot
at the enemy and Nunez would order
the steamboat to go at fun steam. The
Spanish gunbOat would prove too slow
for the hlibusters' fast going steamer
and the pirate" of the Cuban cause
would laugh at the men for their Use

The chief of the flibusters 5 forty
three years old. He is above the av-
erage height, has broad shoulders and
a splendid physique. Ills face is

show his strong character. He has a.
close cropped beard. and he cOnverses

as well as determination.

into port.

captured?" l asked.
mo. l don't think we were ever in
real danger. What's the use of ex-

WHY THE TOWN GREW.


Activity of the Residents More Potent
Than Natural Advantages.
The growth and development of
Pinckneyville, the judicial seat of Perry
county, His, during the past seven
years are remarkable when it is taken
into consideration that its previous eX-
istence of 81 years gave it in 1890, az
cOrding to the census, a population of
l,29S. Since that time its population
has been more than doubled and its
general business interests proportionate-
ly increased. The numerous new resi-
dences and cottages, includingl those
under construction, are positive assur-
ances of Pinckneyville's permanent
growth and future possibilities.
When town increases its population
as steadily as Pinckneyville has done in
the past seven years, going from l,29S
in 1890 to 5000 in 1897, the surround
ings and favorable advantages should
be borne in mind. The coal interests
and fine farm lands are largely instru-
mental in the city's advancement and
development. The energy and enterprise
of the business people also have some
bearing in that direction. 1t is COM
mendable to notice that almost every
citizen manifests an unusual interest in
the towns success and its future.
