The New Era Grant Saw.

Gen. Grant saw and said that our
country was entering on a new ere.
Yes, on a new era of duty, progress
and power. For, under the impulse aud
influence of the national uprising and
patriotic re-awakening of the past
year, we witness more than ever on
this anniversary of his birth such re-
union north and south, in heart and in
hand, as his great and magnanimous
spirit yearned for. And with this up
lifting of the national sentiment at
home we see on the broad field, what
his tranquility quietly prefgured in
the advance of the English-speaking
race and of our portion in it to larger
part IN the commerce and civilization

SAD TASK OF THE RESCUING PARTIES.
Two Hundred Homeless Families at Kinks
VILE and Fifty Without Shelter at New
town-Partial Lists of the Dead and
Injured at Both PIaces-Scenes and In
cidents.

Kirksville, April 2S.-Two hundred
families are homeless because of the
cyclone that. swept through the east
ern suburban portion of this city
Thursday evening, and every one is
aNed by the terrible work of the
wrathful winds. Nearly 40 dead and 20
injured persons were taken from the
debris of the wrecked homes last night
and this morning a number are still
missing, and citizens are devling in
the ruins in hopes of recovering their
bodies.
The work of Rescue and Relief.
The work of rescuing the dead and
in ured continued all night long. The
wounded we're carried to the homes
of hospitable neighbors, and given iEl-
mediate attention.
Twenty-Five doctors from Moberly,
Macon and other points along the line
of the Wabash railroad came to Kinks
vile last night in response to urgent
calls for medical assistance. The visit
ing doctors co-operated with the local
physicians, and the work of caring for
the wounded was expedited.
Hundreds of sightseers.
Hundreds of persons visited the
stricken district to-day, a large num-
Der of the sightseers coming from
neighboring towns. The SPECIAL Of
fcers would not allow any one without
authority to 60 through the district.
Scavengers were on the alert to pick
yaluables from the debris, but the po-
lice prevented them from doing this
by keeping the crowd under control.
Everybody wanted to secure piece
of the wreckage as a memento of the
event.
The tornado destroyed telephone and
telegraph wires out of Kirksville, and
not till $3.50 a. m. was communication
with the outside resumed, and then
only in an unsatisfactory sort of way.
Scene of DISSOLUTION and Ruin.
The scene was one of absolute DESC
lation and ruin. The happy homes of
1000 people were scattered in number
less fragments. The ground over the
whole district was covered with broken
boards, and it appears as if some flood
had scattered the driftwood and then
subsidized.
The Kodak E'icnd is There.
Fifteen or 20 snap shot artists are on
hand with their kodalls to take views
0f the wreckage.
The wind played many pranls, and
there were some miraculous escapes.
The Casualty List.

rRo,RLE AHEAD IN CUBA.

It As stated that paymasters will arrive
in Cuba next week with the 100000 which
our government has agreed to advance for
distribution among the officers and men of
the Cuban army. In connection with that
statement the opinion is advanced that no
trouble will occur in connection with the
navments which the American authorities
cannot circumvent.
1t is apparent that trouble is apprehend-
ed. though it is believed that it will not
reach proportions which will attract much
attention. 1t is to be hoped that this belief
will prove to be correct. The attitude
of the so-called Cuban assembly, which is
composed of officers of the Cuban army,
is. however of a rather threatening char
acter. The assembly is against accepting
so small sum as 100000. 1t wants $l5,-
100000. Gen. Gomez, however, is not in
harmony with the assembly. and without
his aid it may not be able to take any steps
antagonistic to the course adopted by our
government. Without leader in whom
all of the army repose confidence united
action in any direction would not be pos
sible. Still, the situation is such that it
would not be difficult for the assembly to
cause serious trouble.
When the 100000 proposition was made
1t was estimated that there were about
&c, 900 soldiers entitled to compensation, so
that they would get about 800 apiece. II
seems. however, that the number that will
claim portion of the money is 5000 of
this number $1,000 are privates and 10000
are non-commissioned officers and the
others are commissioned officers ranking
from major general down to second lieu
tenants. 1t is apparent that the Cuban
army had sufficlency of officers.
1t would be interesting to know just how
many of this alleged army were ever
within rifle shot of the Spanish army. Our
army saw comparatively few Cuban sol
diers, and 1t received no help from them at
| Santiago 1t is not improbable that not
| half of those who are now claiming a part
| of the 100000 were ever in the Cuban
army. In fact, 1t is said that so far as
the officers are concerned hundreds of
them have been commissioned by the So
| called Cuban assembly since the surrender
of the Spaniards. Ought these alleged Of
icers be permitted to share in the $780,
900? They certainly ought not. 1t is
| probable that there will be protest
| against their receiving anything. That
will be a cause of trouble. The manner
of the distribution of the money may be
another cause of trouble. In fact, there
are likely to be several causes and ii
would not be at all strange if there should
be troublesome times in the island before
the money is distributed and the Cuban
a%ay is disbanded.

Story Behind an Appointment.

There is an interesting story behind the
recent appointment of DR.. Gossner as post
master at Findfay, O.. says the Washing
ton correspondence of the Chicago Record.
A good many years ago the family of the
late President, Rutherford B. Hayes, own
ed dog, which ran into the street one day
and parked at passing carriage The
morse was frightened, bolted and knocked
down woman, who brought a suit for
damages against the ex-President. A man
py the name of Love was her LAWYER. He
got Judgment, which President HAYES re
FUSED to pay. Love waited for an oopor-
tunity to collect the judgment, which came
when Miss Fannie Hayes was married to
Lieut.. Wilson of the navy. He created a
sensation by descending upon the HAYES
mansion during the ceremony with con-
stable and Selling the wedding presents
There was intense indignation among the
friends of the Hayes family and the res
pectable people of the neighborhood Presi-
dent Mckinley happened to be a guest. wit
Messing the entire proceedings, and his
present to the bride was seized with the
rest. A few weeks ago this same Mr. Love
came up as a candidate for the postoffice
at Findlay, strongly recommended bv SEN
ator Hanna, the members of Congress and
other Republican politicians, but when the
President learned through a member of
the Hayes family of his identity somebody
eIse was Immediately appointed.

Mrs. Lydia Sayer Hasbrouck of Mid

the bloorner costume for women, has be-
gun a campaign against the parish

These smokers are periodical gatherings

tobacco and cigars are used Mrs. Has
brouck says many severe and bitter things
against smoking in general and against
these gatherings in particular.
Lydia Thompson, remembered by odd
er theater-goers as the head of a famous
burlesque company, is about to be ten
dered a benefit in London, the object be-
ing to relieve her from pressing financial
difficulties. Until recently she had been

try was with 'the British blondes in 1868,
when she made an impression which to
some extent remains standard even unto
this day.

pEvELopMENr OF rnE souTH.

Mr. John E. Searls. New York fnan-
cier, who. with Mr.. Richard H. Edmonds,
editor of the Manufacturers Record, has
just completed a tour of the South in a
private car. visiting many Of the leading
cities, gave the Baltimore sun a glowing
account of the South the other day. From
Mr.. Searls' point of view, the South is
destined to become the most prosperous
part of the country in the very near fu-
ture. He doesn't say that in so many
words, but that is the inference from
what he says. Some allowance must of
course be made for his enthusiasm, be-
cause he is deeply interested in the Ameri-
can Cotton Company. which is trying 20
induce the cotton growers to put up their
cotton in the round bales, the machinery
for which is controlled by Mr.. Searls' COM
pany Still, there is no doubt that Mr.
Searls is sincere in what he says about
the South. He was not brought into contact
with the farmers TO any great extent dur
ing his trip, and therefore is not prepared
to say what the effect is which five-cent
cotton is having upon them.
He saw that great steel plants which
are being built at Birmingham, Ala, and
heard of the immense cotton mill which
is to be erected at Huntsville, Ala.-a mill
which is to cost $2,5Oo,000. and which is to
print the cloth it manufactures. He saw
the possibilities of Birmingham and other
places for iron and steel manufacturing
and his attention was called 10 the number
of cotton mills which are being erected
in all parts of the South, and to the splen-
did railroad terminals which are to be
found at Savannah and other Southern
ports. Mr.. Searls was shown the South's
wealth of pine and other forests and her
mines of iron and marble, and he came
to the conclusion that in the immediate
future the growth of the South would be
so wonderful as to attract the attention
of the whole world.
We have no doubt that Mr.. Searls is
right about the South. We hope that he
has the courage of his convictions, and
that he will put some of his surplus
wealth where 1t will help to develop the
soutb's resources. There are opportuni-
ties for manufacturing in this and other
Southern cities, and we should be glad TO
see MIR. Searls take advantage of them.
He could not use his money more advan-
tageously.
