- A good thick coat of paint " IS an

a good thin coat of paint" for paint
should not be plastered upon building

conscientious and does his work care

THE STORM ALSO PLAYS HAVOC AT NEW.
TOWN, MO.

The STORM ALSO PLAYS HAVOC AT NEW
TOWN, MO.
Scenes of utter distress and desolation |
were pictured last week Friday in the |
little tornado swept burg Of Newtown,
40 miles north of Chillicothe, Mo-, on the |
st Paul railway. A day of ceaseless
search among the ruins and work for the
injured followed the storm and night
of despair. There are about 10 dead and
over 30 injured, while half of the place is
in ruins and so families are homeless.
The storm struck Newtown at els
Thursday evening, coming from the
south. 1t came without warning, and
few were able to take advantage of their
storm cellars. Striking the eastern end
of the town, it cut clean swsth, 500 to
600 feet wide, through the best part of
the place, sweeping everything before it.
Over 80 houses we're torn to splinters.
On one street alone 10 houses were en-
tirely demolished. There scarcely any
one escaped death or injury. The walls
of buildings fell with crash that sound
ed above the roar of the storm, burying
people in the ruins. Frame buildings
were twisted and lifted from their foun-
datiols, pieces of them being carried for
miles. Others shifted in their positions,
apparently unhurt; one was turned
squsrely around, while another was
turned upside down. Samuel Desper, at
the appearance of the black cloud, start
ed with his family for a neighboring
cellar, but the house was blown down
over them just as they reached the door.
His two daughters were caught with him
by the timbers and Ii lied instantly. His
wife was seriously injured, but is still
alive. Mrs William Hays was killed
while running up the street in search Of
shelter. The mutilsted trunk, with the
head missing, was found in the street
later. William Hays and two children
met death within few feet of each other.
The storm lasted five minutes. When it
had ended the sun came out for few
minutes and shone brightly over scene
of ruin. Numbers Of citizens piled the
ruins necessarily, answering the cries OF
the injured from this place and that
IcaTryipg the dead to the depot and the
Iwounded to places Of safety. Houses oil
the survivors were thrown open to the
unfortunates and all possible was dont
to allay suffering.

ties of their respective towns, with
sleeves rolled up, in regard to clean

moving rubbish within their cor
porate limits. This is a good song

We have to, Bro. Waddill in
self defense. Hitherto, our scav-
enger, whose name was hog, kept
the refuse pile fairly well cleaned
up. Old "Sukev," the town cow,
was allowed the freedom of the city
and not only kept the weeds nipped
down pretty close but would assist
in cropping lawn grass every time
a chance was presented. OF course
she and scavenger hog kept the
pools stirred up, but that was not
circumstance compared to the
strife stirred up by the ordinance
prohibiting the stock from running
around as formerly. That's why
we make war on weeds. Cut them
down. clean up the city. 1t takes
united efforts to accomplish all this,
but Ardmore will be in the push as
a clean, neat town to live in yet.

EFFECT ON PRICES.

By idiotically shutting our mints
to silver, we have cut into the
price of wheat, cotton and silver,
while these prices have not chang
ed in silver lands. This nearly
100 per cent gold premium in Ar
gentine, India, Russia, and all
other lands on a silver basis has
stimulated wheat and cotton grow
ing there to such a wonderful ex-
tent as to soon give them our old
profitable foreign market. When
crop conditions again become nor
NAL there and here, the goldbug
wheat farmer will wonder in his
ignorance what has hit him. If it
would hit him only it would not
matter, if it would only bring him
to his senses, but it will carry low
prices into the home of every
farmer in this broad land and drive
tens of thousands into bankruptcy.
We should no longer be guilty of
the unaccountable folly of furnish
ing the world with club in the
form of dear gold to annihilate
our mightiest industries of wheat,
cotton, corn. and silver. The
most astounding thing in politics is
a farmer who raises wheat to pay
off his mortgage voting to shut the
mints to free silver, thereby driv-
ing down the gold price of silver
and wheat, and doubling up his
mortgage. Among the unaccount-
able fools that God, for some in
scrutable reason, has allowed to
take the place of sensible men on
this old planet, single him out to
wear the belt. God pity him, for
he has none on himself or family

WE have seen that free silver
would raise prices, but this would
not 90 so far as to work any in
justice to creditors generally. The
tremendous demand for silver
created by a country that equals in
productive energy England, Ger
many and France combined, would
enhance its exchange power over
product greatly, and thereby lower
the price level of silver land. Prices
would rise, however, till the owners
of silver bullion could buy no more
here with it than in other silver
lands. Then when their general
price level and ours met, the ten
dency of silver prices, whether up
or down, would depend on the
amount of it that would come to
the worlds mints. Doubtless we
would even then have to use vast
quantities Of paper to keep prices
stabbed.
