A letter from Middletown, Nd July
IA. says "a fierce storm of wind and
rain swept over this valley about , o clock
yesterday afternoon. Many trees were
destroyed, corn was blown down and brok-
en- off and other damage was done.
Southwest of town, along the foot of South
Mountain, hail fell heavily, and the corn
was in some instances cut to pieces, Mr..
Isaac Young being the heaviest loser.
Between Middletown and Broad Run the
road was blocked with fallen trees Six fine
large trees were blown down in Mrs Lewis
Young picnic woods, west Of town. Mr..
Howard Beachley's orchard was nearly
DESTROYED On the farm of Charles Oar
ner self-binder in the field was carried
some distance by the wind and hurled
against fence with such a force as to
smash the fence down In many instances
large trees were twisted off as if they were
pipe stems. On the farm of Robert Ke-
fauyer, south Of town. load of hay was
blown completely away, not bit of it be-
ing found. On the farm of Martin Rems-
burg, south of town, a stack Of wheat was
blown and scattered in every direction, and
straw stack was picked up by the wind
and torn apart and carried away. An
other letter on the 10th says The
heaviest rainstorm of the summer visited
this section last evening, when within a
fraction of one and a-half inches of water
fell in less than an hour All the streams
were very high, and, in some instances,
overhowed their banks and flooded the low
lands. Fields, roads and gardens were
flooded and badly damaged. The corn
fields suffered heavily. The storm was
accompanied by lightning and thunder

COnlfe1dS of the World.

Biologists estimate the great coal
fields Of the world in square miles as
follows: China, 200, 900; United States,
east of the Rockies, 100, 900; Canada,
IS, 900; India, 80, 500; New South
Wales, "a, 600; Russia, 20, 900, and the
United Kingdom, H., 500. There are
many deposits in other countries, but
their extent is inconsiderable. Eng
lands coal area is small: still she
for years produced more than any other
country. Now the United States is
ahead. English coal veins are thin one

there are veins in the Pennsylvania an

A Compliment Is Paid Chaplain Stull OF

Private Will Stedlnan of company L,
who was wounded in the fighting be.
tween the lines in the Tondo district at
the same time that Lieutenant French
was killed on the 23rd of February,
writes to his mother in Helena, under
date of March 6, describing the action
in which he received his wound. In
concluding his letter, Mr.. Stedman
pays the following compliment to Chap
lain G. G. Stull of Billings, who is in
the Philippines:
chaplain Stull has been a jewel to
our regiment and the mainstay of the
sick and wounded. During the fight
he was at the front with the boys,
speaking words of encouragement here
and there, and, tightly grasping a
bottle. went about administering a
little fluid which braced up many of
the boys who were Frustrated from the
heat. When a man fell he
was by his side in an instant, ready to
his last message OF give him a
drink the better to prepare him for his

ThR MaChefA.

AS a defensive weapon the value Of
the machete is small. Even it's offensive
effect depends less on the weapon itself
than on the continual and skillfu]
usage made of it by the Cuban peasant
from his earlier age, which imparts a
peculiar training to the muscles of the
wrist and arm of the operator. The
consequence of this skill is that when
ever a quarrel occurs between two
''guajiros' or ''monetros'' they settle
the matter with their machetes as cour-
ageously and ten%aciously as two game
cocks. and generally both parties are
seriously injured for life or are killed
on the spot.
Owing to this fact and to the. natu-
raj kindly disposition of the Cuban
peasants. they are not a quarrelsome
people and respect everybody, to be
equally respected. With the machete a
few curious accessories are used. The
principal are a thin strip Of leather
closely tied to the right wrist, a small
round piece of grinding stone to sharpen
the edge of the tool, and whenever the
machete is employed to cut down the
thorny heath of tropical vegetation a
small branch of special shape. called
the ,"garabato,' is used to hold the
heath and do rapid work without be-
ing injured by thorns. Island of Cuba

Bristol. 1t was the actors rule to take
a bowl of Cruel in the course of ttt
evening, and his landlady sent over the
usual refreshment from the lodgings in

met at the home of Mrs. I. D. O'Don-
nell Tuesday afternoon for their usual
discussion of the literature which they
have taken up. Roman history will
he the study for several weeks. and will
no doubt prove very interesting. The
subjects discussed were Geography
and Ancient Races Of the Romans"
"Their Legends Noted Leaders,"
"Probable Origin of the City of
Rome.' "Political Organization'' and
"Religion." After the lesson the ladies
spent several minutes in social CONVEX
sation and discussing the ACCESSIBILITY
Of taking up current topics in addition
to their other work. The department
will meet with Mrs. Stebbins next
Tuesday afternoon.
The mothers department met yester-
day afternoon with Mrs. J. B. HEREFORD.
While "house-cleaning' prevented a
number OF the members from being
present, the meeting was fully up to
the standard. Mrs. @. F. Burton read
an interesting article Oh children's
dresses. Mrs. W. D. Clark's paper on
the disobedience, retaliation and fear
OF children treated the subjects so
thoroughly that the discussion was
simply words OF commendation. Miss
Pitcher read an interesting article on a
mothers aim and it certainly inspired
all with a higher aim in life. The
next meeting will be Thursday, April
20, at Mrs. j. j. McCormick's.

Mutual Dislike,

Brahms and Tschaikowsky, the ia
nous musicians, met but twice. On the
last occasion Brahms was sufficiently
interested in Tschaikowsky's Fifth
Symphony to travel expressly to Ham
burg i'll order to make its acquaintance.
After the performance the distinguished
composers dined together, and the con
scientious Brahms frankly admitted
that he did not like the work at all;
w~hereupon the usually meek Russian
plucked up sufficient courage to inform
his host that the dislike of each others
music was mutual. They parted on ex-
cellent terms nevertheless.

Trains Are Once More Running Although
Off of Schedule Time.
The first train eastward for four days
vas or the Northern Pacific road
Wednesday afternoon at 5 O'Clock,
when No. 2 pulled in from Helena and
took out the coaches that had been in
the yards here since Monday. It was a
great relief to the passengers and the
BurlingtOn's eastern travellers trans
ferred to the Northern Pacific and went
on their journey.
The Burlington did not get a train
eastward until this morning and then
it only ran to Grow Agency, a transfer
being made from there to Wyola over
land. The wires were down for two
days, telegraphic communication not
being secured until yesterday after
noon. The Burlington is expected to
return tonight with mail and passen-
gers that have been tied up for several
days at Sheridan.
Three coast trains on the Northern
Pacific went through Billings Wednes-
day night, they having been delayed on
the other side Of Glendive. It is ex-
pected that all the trains will be run
ming Oh schedule time by the first of
next week. This forenoon two North
ern Pacific west bound trains arrived
here nearly at the same time. Through
traffic on this road to st. Paul is Sc
cured by a transfer for four miles Just
side of Mandan.
The Bridger line has been experience
ing some trouble with it's track this
week and nc trains have been able to
