Five Huge Waterspouts Seen on Lake Erie
Struck the Shore as WhirIwinds.
CLEVELAND. O., Aug. ia strange
phenomenon was seen by the residents
of this city about eight o'clock yester-
day morning. Five dark and enor-
nous waterspouts were seen far out in
the lake moving in an easterly direc-
ton. One of these whirling water
spouts went traversing the distance
from the western horizon, where they
were first sighted by the lookout at
the life-saving station, to- the eastern
horizon, where it finally disappe AIRED
or struck the shore in Is minutes.
Two struck the shore near the foot
of Wilson avenue while the other two
pursued their easterly course down the
lake. The largest spout struck the
shore at the foot of Coe street with
terrible force. The large gate of the
Avery Stamping Co., was twisted from
its hinges and the large timbers scat
tered in every direction. Windows
were broken and surrounding sheds
were unroofed. Then the force of the
whirlwind, for such it twas, seemed to
spend itself. The path seemed to be
about 500 feet in width, and pursued
a .southeasterly PURSE through the
city. No one was injured.

COLUMBIA. Mo-, Aug. 1.-THE grand
est celebration which has ever occurred
in Boone: county took place yesterday
1t the new fair grounds, northwest
of Columbia. The object was to honor
The day when Missouri was admitted
into the Union, and the celebration
Tas called the Missouri Day Exer-
cises." The almost phenomenal sue
ress of the affair was a surprise to even
the most hopeful. The celebration
was attended by an immense crowd.
The grounds were dotted with tents,
several bands discourSed from elevated
platforms, and on every hand Amer
lean flags huttered in the wind. The
center of attention was the platform
from which the addresses were de-
livered, and thousands stood about it
with uncovered heads listening to
words of praise for grand old Missouri.
The first speaker was Hon. John l..
Martin, of st. Louis. America" was
the subject chosen, and in addition, to
an intensely patriotic discourse on the
resources of America. and Missouri in
particular, he found time to give quite
an impressive talk on the benefits to be
derived from secret orders.
A meeting was held by the old set
tiers of Boone county, at which Gen.
Odon Guitar, of Columbia, presided.
An intere sting feature was short talks
by the old settlers on their experiences
since they first came to the county, At
1880 o'clock a grand free dinner was
served on the grounds.

ed with the corroboration of Baneyt
confession by the little details which
are known to otner witnesses and they
think the result of the visit
will be to clear Hinshaw OF
the charge of numbering his
wife. One rather strange thing
about the affair is that Mrs. Oyler, the
mother of Mrs. Hinshaw, has lever
doubted the innocence of her son-in-
law. She always maintained that she
knew him SO well hat she could not
believe that he could do such a thing,
and would not believe it until there
was produced some direct evidence.
She recently wrote him a letter in
which she reiterated her belief in his
innocence, and expressed the strong
hope that he would soon be free.

Powderly of the immigration bureau
has sen the following letter of in
structions to immigration officials at
New York, Boston. Philadelphia, Bal.
timore and Quebec, relative TO the an
ticipated arrival in the country of
Spanish anarchists:
Information has reached this bureau to the
effect that one Planas, a leader OF the Spanish
anarchists, has been expelled from France, be-
ing conducted TO Havre, from which port il Is
expected he will sail to the United States ]
am also advised that Ia rida Marmol, another
Spanish anarchist, is believed to have gone to
England and probably is en- route to this coun-
try. A careful inspection should be made Of
arriving passengers In order that should any OF
this class be detected q careful examination
can be had as to their rights OF admission into
the United States under existing laws
1t is stated at the bureau of immi.
grafton that there is no law under
which persons can be excluded on the
ground that they are anarchists Nor
is anarchy anywhere declared to be Q
crime. so hat if Planas and Marmol are
refused admission to the country the re-
fusal must be based solely upon the
fact that they come within the general
immigration law as to paupers, contract
~laborers, criminals, etc This law
expressly provides however, that
nothing in this act shall be construed
to apply to or exclude persons con-
victed of a political offense, nothwith-
standing said political offense may be
designated as a felony, crime, infa-
nous, or misdemeanor involving moral
turpitude. by the laws of the land

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Aug. 1.-TWO
venturesome bathers were drowned IN
the surf here yesterday. They were
Thomas C. Laswell, aged 81. OF Prince
ton, Ind, and an unknown man, sup
posed to be an excursionist from Phil
adelphia. Young Laswell came here
yesterday morning with his friend, Z.
NJ. Perrott, also from Princeton. on his
first visit to the seashOre. The young
men went into the surf shortly before
noon, and Laswell, who seemed TO De
of the dangerous undertow,
was soon beyond his depth and calling
for help. The life guards made a brave
effort to save him, but the surf was SO
heavy that they were unable TO reach
the drowning a
Laswell struggled in the water for
about Is minutes in full view of about
10. 900 people gathered or the pier,
board walk and beach. Perrott nearly
lost his own life in attempting to a
that of his friend. and was taken from
the water in an exhausted condition.
One of the lifeguards named Reed was
also overcome in the water and was
rescued in an unconscious condition.
Late in the afternoon the body OF
Laswell came ashore 1t was turned
over to a local undertaken, who pre-
pared it for shipment to Indiana
When Laswell checked his valuables at
the bath house, where he obtained his
bathing suit, he laughingly remarked
to the clerk:
II will leave my address so that in
case 1 am drowned you can send my
valuables home"
The second drowning occurred o
three o'clock in the afternoon, and the
body of the drowned man had not
come ashore up to a late hour.
The surf yesterday was the heaviest
of the season. owing to a heavy gale
which prevailed, and between 25 and
80 persons were rescued, many of their
women.

SteHmer Departing from Victoria Loaded
with Pr ospectors and Their Outfits.
VIcToRIA,B b. c., Aug. 15.-There were
in Victoria this morning close upon
1000 men of every class and from every
part of the world who were just crazy
to get started or the long trip to the
new Eldorado. These men had tickets
which will carry them to Skaguay
bay on the big collier Bristol, or on
the steamer Islander, both of which
sailed to-day. The Bristol has been fit
ted with hunks. and stalls for horses
from the bottom of her hold to the top of
her cabin deck, and every bunk and
stall is occupied, close upon 500 men
going on the Bristol, and just rs many
horses and mules. Even the big collier
is filled up, the feed for these animals
and the outfits of the men taking up
an immen Sc amount of space.
The Islander has just as big a crowd,
but much of the space or her is taken
up by a contingent of mounted police,
their horses, dogs and outfits. They
realize that they have q winters trip
before them before they reach Dawson
City, and are taking dogs and sleighs.
Horses will be taken as far as posi-
BILE, and when they are of no more use
will be killed and used as food for the
dogs. A few of the men are going up
with the idea of purchasing cheap out
fits from men who became discouraged
and are turning back; but most of
them are well provided for and all are
taking pack animals, they having in
in this respect taken the advice of men
who vent before, and have written of
the difficulty of securing animals or
Indians to pack goods across the pass.

AS A BOLD STAND.
Consumer Says Tuber.
culin Tests Not Needed.
Says Eminent Authorities Agree on
Different M ethod-PaSteuri-
cation of Milk the Plan.

EDITOR 2. c. ADVERTISER:-It
would seem that the Health authori-
ties have been little premature in
the killing of cattle supposed to be af-
fected with tuberculosis, when the
greatest authorities upon the subject
now declare that the pasteurization of
the milk from tuberculous cattle kills
the germs of disease and makes the
milk absolutely safe.
By this process the milk is heated
10 a point anywhere from 80 to 200
degrees Fahrenheit, and this heat des-
troys the germs without thickening
the milk or impairing its flavor, as is
the case by boiling.
Recent advices show that in the
Australian Colonies and Great Britain
and Germany, the testing of cattle with
tuberculin is generally discontinued,
the best authorities urging that the
system of killing cattle which do not
stand the tuberculin test is unneces-
sary. and is harsh and unfair to dairy
men.
The sterilization of milk by the Pas
| teur method is now acknowledged Dy
| competent authorities to be the mos
effective remedy for this evil, and il
would be we'll if the Dairymen's Asso
citation here, which controls seven
Fights of the milk supply of the Isl
and, adopted this treatment OF thu
milk before putting it upon the mar
ket.
a pasteurizing machine is yer.
simple and comparatively inexpensive
affair. and in the interests of publi
health the authorities should take thi
matter promptly in hand and fore
the dairymen to pasteurlZe their mill
before putting it upon the market.
The reckless killing of cattle sup
posed to be affected with tuberculosis
should be stopped and instead tn
more advanced methods employed i
: other countries should be adopted.
