A GOVERNORS GOOD AUMOR.
From BALTIMORE American. 1

= y
Governor George w. Atkinson
OF West Virginia, is not only
proving himselfto be q first class
chief executive of q progressive
State, but he has now given
abundant evidence that he is q
good humorist-one who can put
his wit to practical use. The
Governor is now in Tampa. Fla,
in attendance upon the CONNER
cial Congress of the South and
West. he made the principal
speech on the opening day, and
it was about the best speech q
Southern Governor had made for
many a long day. He did not
hesitate to praise the natural ad-
vantages of the South. and told
his hearers that the people of
that region were now engaged in
the laudable undertaking of work
ing up their own raw materials
into finished products on their
own soil and by their own skilled
labor.
But it was when he drew the
picture Of what the South was
yet to be that Governor Atkin.
sons humor was at its best. Then
he said /: with harbors unsur.
passed, ships should be leaving
every hour from these ports,
carrying our products across the
seas to lands less favored than
our own. With our practically
inexhaustible forests, we can
furnish boards enough to fence
in the universe. and have a sup
ply left sufficient to lay q board
walk to the snow bound regions
of the Klondike. With our coal
we can heat the earth hotter than
the fiery furnace of Shadrach,
Meshach and Abednego, and have
surplus enough to furnish steam
for all the ships on all the seas.
With our natural gas we can, If
it were concentrated, make Pluto
ashamed Of his boasted domin.
ion, and cause him to fee to the
mountains of West Virginia in
search of the cool, balmy breezes
which can only be found in that
charmlngSwltzerland Of America.
With our crude petroleum we can,
If we want to. grease every axle
and cog and wheel and pinion in
this and all lands, and at the
same time oilthe hinges of every
stump orators jaw from Florida
Keys to the North Pole, having
enough left over, when properly
refined, to light up all the dark
places on terra .Jf11ma. like Q spec
tacular aurora boredlis. With our
cotton and our tobacco and our
rice and our sugar, and our semi
tropical fruits. what may we not
expect when every strong. broad
shouldered Southern man has
his back against the wagon, and
is pushing all he can ?"
This is humor based on solid
facts. Surely, the South is q
great land. and the Governor of
West Virginia is a great believer
in its present and in it's future.

Great Destruction in the City OF Lima
-Buildings4T Torn to Pieces-A
Child Blown Away.

Lima, O., Sept. ga storm which
passed over Lima Saturday afternoon
at 1850 o'clock did thousands of dol
lars worth of damage by wrecking
buildings. A large number OF people
were injured and one child, the six
year-old son of Sidney Walthey, 374
South Scott street, cannot be found.

coming up she called to her son, who
was in the yard, but just then the tor
nado struck, and the child was carried
away in the flying debris. Hundreds
since the storm.
The, wind and rain continued for
fully an hour The storm starting
point was about three miles east of the
city. A number of farmers living in
that part of the county were on their
road and many of them sought shelter
in the big barn of Jacob Boze, which
was leveled. George HaGsell, aged 70
years, had his leg broken at the knee
and Jacob BoZe. had his shoulder
broken.
The cyclone struck the northeast
part of the city and twisted a new
house belonging to William Harris
from its founda tons and left it in the
street. Crossing the Pennsylvania
tracks it demolished two water. tanks,
unroofed the Quilna brewery, Lima
egg case factory and a number of ad-
jacent buildings. It then struck the
high school building. wrecking the
whole roof, tearing out the west end
and letting the roof and first and Sec
ond floors into the cellar. Fortunate
ly it was Saturday and there were no
sessions of the schools or loss of life
would have resulted. Several school
houses east of the city were leveled,
but no one was in ured.
The storm continued southwest. I'M
rooted a portion of the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton railroad shops.
and buried Harry Casewell under the
debris. He was taken out with five
ribs broken. The Hotel French lost
part of it's roof. The Collin livery
barn was unroofed, the West High
street school building was unroofed,
GAO w lOuSCS mOIe or Tess QamGQed.
The residence of Mrs. D. F. Andrews
and John Burgoyne. south of the high
school building. were badly wrecked
by debris from the building
In the southern part of the city
there were a number Of houses I'M
rooted. The residence Of Torrey Kirk
was struck by lightning and Mrs. Kirk
stunned. A house occupied by Willis
McKibben was picked from it's founda-
ton. carried about 20 feet, and Mrs.
McKibben badly injured by. stove,
falling on her. 81
East Of the city house occupied by
a family named Kohler was blown
down and several members injured,
none seriously. The church at West
minister, southeast of this city. was
blown down and completely wrecked.
It was one of the finest churches in
that part of the country. The Tileville
schoolhouse, west of the city about
three miles. was also blown down. .

LIMIT IS FIXED.
President Mckinley Says Spanish
Must Get Out of Cuba by
December 81.

Washington, Sept. 26.-The instruc-
tons sent the American evacuation
commissioners at Havana, practically
amounting to an ultimatum to Gen.
Blanco, insist that the evacuation of
the island by the Spaniards begin not
later than October IS, and that it be
complete by December 81 next. What
the result of this demand will be is
not yet known, but it is said that the
administration is determined to toll
crate no dilatory tactics on the part of
the Spanish forces in leaving the
island, although disposed to permit
reasonable indulgence. =
It seems that the Spanish side Of
the commission has said that they
could not begin the evacuation of the
island until the LIST of November, and
that it could not be completed before
thes 2Sth of February next. In view of
the alarming state of the Cubans, who
are suffering from hunger, and the in
ability in the present uncertain con-
ditions for obtaining relief, President
Mckinley sent the instructions re-
ferred to in the foregoing.
I; Notice has also been taken of the
expressed purpose of the Spanish cap
tain general to remove from the island
the remains of Christopher Columbus,
with part of the surm ounting monu-
ment. If a monument is not a per-
manent fixture, then it is hard to de-
eide what is, and it is possible that at
tention will be called to the infraction
OF the terms of the protocol, although
this must<be done with haste, in order.
TO succeed in it's object, as the removal
is said to be fixed for next Tuesday.
