wAXAHACHIE SENSATION.
A Prominent Young Lady Suddenly
Missing and Has Possibly E1Oped.

WaXahachie, Tex, Jan. 12.-(Special.)
The twenty robberies, the hold-ups,
the murders that have been committed in
Ellis county in the last few months have
been nothing in the public mind as COM
pared with the throb given. the pulse of
every man and woman in WaXahachie
tonight. Excitement has been beyond
measure. Just about dark MIR. James
s. Davis returned from n business trip
and on entering his home he asked for
his youngest daughter, Jimmie, his
namesake, he was told by the home
folks that she had gone down the street
a minute At 8 o'clock he inquired again
and soon after notified The police that
his daughter was missing. AT o'clock
a general fire alarm was turned i'll and
several men gathered at the fire station;
and their plans were formulated ana
squads were sent out with lanterns on
every road leading from the city. every
town for miles around was notified, and
every horse, every gun and pistol III
Waxahachie was pressed into service.
The hedges, the creeks, bottoms, the
culverts, the upper rooms to the stores
were searched and house to house in
Guiry made. but no tidings of the miss
ing girl were received. At 10 o'clock
the searching party had grown into
thousands. Couriers were coming i'll
from Palmer, Milford, Ferris, Forreston,
Italy, Ennis and other places. At II
o'clock a great crowd Of the cOurierS
and searchcrs met on the square and
again renewed the search. The Davis
home was searched ana rescached. every
neighbours house WIS searched. At
II 80 the consensus of op Mon was that
the missing girl bPs either been kidnapped
or has been FOUL dealt with. The rea-
son the kidnapping theory received more
than ordinary notice is. that ms it is
thought the Davis family is very wealthy
and neat ransom might be secured by
holding the girl. The assault theory
has many advocates from the fact that
Texas has had so many cases Of the
kind to report in the last year. Some
think that a villain could have stranged
the gill and hidden her body in some out
of-the-"ay lace away from the view of
human eyes. No place has been over
loorcd; no theory has been unobservcd
ard Enacted upon. At II o'clock all is
s'tncss at the Davis home. Couriers
tire still coming in but have no tidings.
Horses hoofs. light of lanterns and fam
beauX are seen and heard on every
street in the town, and the wisest heads
shy the situation is alarming. Miss
Davis was never known to keep compa-
ny with any boy or young man, and the
theory that she has eiOped is not cOnsid-
cred At 11:2O there is not Il house in
WaXahacbie but what has been appraised
of the lost darling of the Davis home
At 1915 the situation is very gloomy,
without trace of the missing girl

4 GRAPHIC STORY.
The Awful Storm rs Seen by n Little
Rock Indy.

Little Rock. Jan. lit was 1915
this morning when Little Rock was first
appraised of the tornado at Fort Smith.
The border city had been temporarily
cut off from communication with the
outside world, but when the wires were
restored and the news came great eN-
element ensued in this city. Bulletins
were posted and eager crowds beSieged
the bulletin boards. Arrivals from Fort
Smith on the afternoon train confirmed
previous reports of extensive loss of life
and added that the picture could not be
overdrawn. Miss Lille h. Miyelaz of
this city returned from Fort Smith on
the afternoon train. She was at the HO-
tel Main in that city when the tornado
burst in all its fury. When she left this
morning twenty-four bodies had been
taken from the ruins and there was no
reckoning how many more lives had been
lost. The utmost confusion and excite
ment reigned.
"There was an awful roaring sound"
said Miss Mivelaz, during the fifteen
or twenty minutes that the storm ragged.
The wind blew fearfully and the hail
fell furiously. / had retired, but was
awakened during the storm, and l at
once realized it was a tornado, having
a lively recollection of the visitation ex-
perienced by Little Rock in October.
1894 The evening had been unusually
warm, and clouds had been forming.
Fortunately the Hotel Main was not di-
rectly in the path of the tornado, and
therefore escaped damage. / obtained n
few glimpses of the damaged portions
of the city. and the sight was awful. At
ter the storm the moon came out, the
clouds disappearing. Then fire broke out
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1898-01-20

IN the devastated district, making one
of the most weirdly beautiful sights inl-
aginab.e. 1t is simply impossible to de-
scribe the picture. There was so much
dismay and confusion, so many cries OF
distress and such universal sorrow over
the calamity that had befal.en the city
that it was out of the question to form
any definite conclusions as to the num-
Der of lives lost and the amount of prop
erty destroyed Several wagon yards,
where an unusually large number of
countrymen were stopping, and two or
three boarding houses were the scenes
of heavy loss of both life and property.
From Ninth street to the Texas road,
houses were demolished on both sides
of the street The brick house of my
aunt, Mrs. Mivelaz, was blown off, and
the fine, new high school was damaged
badly. The damage was great on
Twelfth street and Catholic avenue, but
l can not begin to tell you of the terri
BILE destruction. In some places you
could not tell that substantial buildings
stood there before the storm, every yes
tige of buildings being completely wiped
out. thought the Little Rock cyclone
was bad enough, but the occurrence of
Fort Smith was so much worse that it
is indescribable. 1t can hardly be ex-
aggerated."
Little Rock was quick to send mes
age of sympathy and proffer aid to the
people of Fort Smith. At meeting of
the Board of Trade directory this after
noon resolutions of coincidence were
passed and assurance of aid given.

DEALT DEATH.
Men Women, Children, Cattle and
Horses Were Killed.

Men Women, Children, Cattle and
Horses Were Killed.
Van Buren,, Ark, Jan. 12.-The
tornado that dealt death and destruc-
ton at Fort Smith last night crossed
the Arkansas river one mile south of
here and tore a path 200 yards through
this, Crawford county, and dealt death
and devastation to everything lin it's path.
The first house it struck was that of
Will Hines. occupied by colored family,
who left the house just as it left its
foundation. The house was demolished,
but the occupants escaped. The next
house in line was Frank Bright's. 1t
was large twO-stOry house and moth
ing remains of it but the floor. Boat
right son and a daughter were badly
injured. The houses of Walter Haley
and Mrs. Keller were on an adjoining
farm and were blown entirely away, not
a vestage of them being left. The
families of both were injured. Jim
down, but none of the occupants were
injured. Charles Wright was blown
from his house and fatally injured. Ed.
Blakemore was instantly killed by his
house blowing down on him. The house
of Mrs. Bash was demolished and she
was crushed into shapeless mass of
flesh and bone, and two of her children,
aged and IS, were fatally hurt. 1t is
estimated that one hundred head of cat
tie and horses were in the path of the
tornado and were killed, or injured so
badly that they had to be killed. 1t is
five miles on a direct line from Van
Buren, to Fort Smith and debris from
there is strewn' over the ground three
miles beyond here. A mass meeting is
being held tonight to relieve the desti-

MONETARY COMMISSION.
House Committee OH Currency and
banking Hear MIR. Edmunds.

House Committee OH Currency ana
Banking Hear Mr.. Edmunds.
Washington, Jan. 12.-The monetary
commission was given hearing. today
by the house committee on banking and
currency on the bill proposing compre-
hensive revision of the currency. Ex-
Senator Edmunds of Vermont, chairman
of the commission and head of the dele
CATION, and with him were ex-Secretary
of the Treasury Fairchild of New York;
]. w. Fries of North Carolina, repre-
senting the gold democratic sentiment of
the south; Il. J. Bush of Alabama and
Judge X. S. Taylor of Indiana. repre-
sentng the middle west. Secretary
Gage was also present, accompanied by
the solicitor of the treasury. The hear
ing attracted much interest. A number
of the members of the house were ac-
companied by ladies.
Mr.. Edmunds was the first speaker. He
said that the fundamental principle which
the commission had felt was to be consid-
cred in establishing stable currency
was. first to know what the standard of
value in this country is and is to be. On
this there were many divergent views
among the financial audiences. Many
believed that it was impossible to have
more than one standard of value. "If
this be true, then the question is, what
is the best standard in the experience of
the world?" Mr.. Edmunds said. That
was the best standard subject to the least
change, one to which all other values
most readily adjusted themselves; one
which will he the same when n trans
action closes MS it was when it opened.
The commission felt that such a thing
rs n double standard had never existed
in the word through natural operations.
There had been double standards estab-
lished by law, but never in fact. When
it came to an actual standard, there
could he but one.
Mr. Edmunds referred to the expert
ence of most nations of the world, all
showing. he said, that single standard
meant stability and safety, while at
tempts at double standards meant disas-
ter and panic.
From this universal experience Mr.. Ed
munds had come to the conclusion that
the first principle on which to base cur
rcncy was to have one standard; that
god is the hest standard, because it is
the most stable of all standards of value.
Feeling that one standard was essential,
ard that gold was the best of these, the
commission was brought to the gold
standard as their first proposition. That.
however. did not exclude the idea of BIZ
meta liisn, for it did not exclude the use
of silver or any other metal to the largest
extent: that they could be maintained on
an equality with the one fixed and inyari-
able standard of gold.
That conclusion WAS reached" Mr..
Edmunds added, with no prniudiccs,
with 10 private political conditions. but
solely from the convictions of those of
the commission representing the ynrious
sections of tbn cnuntry ~

Representative Conger of Iowa, our min
lister to Brazil, will change posts. There
was considerable objection to Mr.. Bry-
ans confirmation on the ground that he
had no diplomatic experience and was
not equipped for so important a post as
that of the minister to China is likely to
be. Mr.. Conger was minister to Brazil
during the Harrison administration and
was regarded as one of the strongest and
best of our foreign representatives. The
nominations making these changes will

THAT SEMINOLE OUTBREAK.
THE WHOLE STORY A TIREsOME
FAKE OF THE FIRST.
WATER.
A DEPOT AGENTS Bad NIGHTMARE
ton Tells the True Story-The
War Department Acting With
Prudencc--AI IL Quiet.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Commissioner
Jones of the Indian office received
q dispatch from Wewoka, in the
Seminole Nation, today from w.
:. Field, who says that the reports of the
Seminole trouble are untrue. The whites,
he said. burned probably innocent mar
and the Indians are indignant but will
make no trouble. A few shots were fired
in the darkness by practical jokers in the
neighborhood of Earlboro.
The commissioner says he knows Field
very well and regards this information
as entirely trustworthy.
Secretary Bliss wrote the war depart
ment asking for troops. He said he re.
garded the reports at least greatly ex-
aggerated, but nevertheless it might b.
the part of prudence to have troops on
the scene. The war department will
comply with the request and dispatch
troops unless the request is counter
manded.
