the following paragraphs =
The fight against the corruption, the
fight for civic honesty, must be never

manently on the level where she belongs
We can well afford the widest difference of
opinion on matters merely political, but we
cannot afford to tolerate in our public men

sistent with the basic rules of public mo-
rality, if we wish to see the republic en-
dure.
Honesty is not all that is necessary IN
public service in public man. No matter
how able man may be. how smart, how
clever, his ability and intellect render him
only the more dangerous TO the people is
not absolutely honest.
hope to see the day when it shall be
considered needless to say of any public
man that he is honest, because it will not
enter into the possibilities of American
politics to tolerate in public life man who
is not. To honesty moreover, must be
added courage. The timid good man is a
singularly useless creature"

A NEBRASKA CYCLONE.


One Woman Killed While Trying to
Save Her Boy.
Ainsworth, Neb., July "a destrue-
tive cyclone passed Ainsworth, two
miles to the north, yesterday after
noon, killing one woman and tearing
houses, barns, fences and bridges into
kindling wood. The cyclone seemed to
form about Is miles northwest of Aims
worth. The motion of the funnel
shaped cloud was most distinct, and
was witnessed by the entire popula-
ton.
Its first destructive work was on the
farm of John Strohm, four miles north
west of Ainsworth, demolishing every
thing in sight. Luckily the family
took to a cave. and no one was in
1ured. 1t struck the house of William
Lockmiller, a mile to the east. Mrs.
Lockmiller had sought refuge in the
cellar with three small children. Her
Oldest son not coming, and fearing he
might be killed in the barn, where
he was working, Mrs. Lockmiller start
ed to call him just as the cyclone
reached them. AS she arrived at the
door the house was moved from its
foundation and she was crushed into
lifeless mass and her body nearly
severed in twain at the waist. The
children, including the son In the
barn, were unhurt, the funnel doing no
further damage than moving the house
few feet, tearing off a portion of the
roof and hurting the portions dis
lance away.
The farms of Rev T. w. De Long,
Charles Trotter and James Strohm
were also visited and their homes de-
molished, but the families escaped TO
their cyclone cellars
