THE KIRKSVILLE TORNADO.

The entire country, extends SYM
pathy to the cyclone sufferers of
Kirksville and Newton, No. The
storm of Thursday was of singular
destructiveness to both life and
property. MANY happy homes were
made desolate; the gtim destroyer
came without warning, giving no
time TO seek shelter in cellars, leav-
ing death and destruction in its
wake.
The Kirksville disaster recalls
the remarkable series of similar
storms of the summer of 1896,
most destructive of which was the
st. Louis tornado of May 81, cost
ing the city over 300 lives and $13,
600, 900 in property. Three days
later there was a cloudburst at
Seneca, Mo, in which p lives were
lost, and Sept. % of the same year
a tornado hurricane" swept over
Washington, d. c., with most dis
astrous results. These were in
terspersed with storms of equal
severity, but less calamitous be-
cause in more sparsely sections of
the country
Prof. H. F. Biglow Of the wealth
er bureau at Washington refers to
the present as the tornado season.
He says that more tornadOeS occur
in the months of May and June
than in other parts of the year.
Each year averages about three
tornadoes of special destructive
ness. His record shows that from
1889 to 1896 property to the value
of $31 ,000,0 900 was wrecked. The
rotary velocity of the wind on the
occasion of the St. Louis tornado
was 175 miles an hour, which is
equivalent TO a pressure of 80
pounds to the square foot.

Something WRONG smcewhere.

1t will be remembered by the
readers of the DAILY ARDMOREITE
that w. o. Bibb andJ. c. Carroll,
published some weeks ago a signed
statement in effect that they had
been arrested in Gainesville and
during arrest were deprived of
their personal effects, all of which
were returned except four $40 bills
the property of j. C.. Carroll. On
the strength of this charge the
county attorney of Cooke Co., had
Mr.. Carroll summoned before the
grand jury in session at Games
vile, to which place he went yes
terday morning and appeared be-
fore that honorable body. Later
In the day he was arrested for dis
turbing the peace on March 11th,
bond was made for his appearance
at 9 O'Clock this morning, but
owing to his condition he was un-
able to go. In conversation with
an ARDMOREITE reporter, he said
that after his bond was signed up
yesterday, he was called to one
side by an individual, (naming
him) who acted as special po-
liceman. and told by this pro TEN
officer that he allowed no Territory
man to come down there and swear
lies against him, at the same time
striking Carroll three severe blows
over the head with a sixshooter.
Mr. Carroll leaves on this evenings
train for Gainesville to answer the
charge of disturbance with which
he is charged.

A GOOD CHOICE.
Charles S. PeitingilI Of Augusta. Elected
Principal Of Village District.

The people of Augusta will be pleas
ed to learn that the position of princi-
pal recently made vacant in the Village
district has been offered to Mr. Charles
S. Pettingill Of this city. and has been
accepted by him. We do not see how
the committee could Well have made a
better selection. He is a young man Of
untiring industry and sterling charac-
ter. and best of all he is an Augusta
boy.
Mr.. Pettingill owes the liberal edu-
cation he has received largely to his
own efforts. He has been all his life a
hard worker When a young boy he
carried papers for a number of years
on route for the Journal and no boy
has ever rendered the paper more
faithful service. The money thus saved
was later used to defray his college
expenses. He fitted for college at the
Cony High school and entered Bow
dom in the fall of '94 and graduated
from there. last June, with honors.
During his college course he sustain
ed the same high rank in scholarship
that characterized his work in our
city schools He was a member of the
Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity and
justlyipopular with his fellow students
During portion of his course ne
taught schools to assist in defraying
tiles that command success, and we
feel sure that in his hands the interests
of the Village district will be faithfully
and efficiently cared for.

The Hustler's reputation for bargains
in furniture is far reaching. One day.
this week, a letter was received from
a man in Phillips, Me-. stating that he
had heard 'Soule's" in Augusta, was a
great place for bargains. He re-
quested that three chairs be sent him.
remarking that he wanted them large
and strong, his wife weighing 231, he
probably was no light weight. He
furthermore said that he wanted to
surprise his neighbors, who had re-
ceived chairs from Boston, with his
Augusta bargains. Now that was a
wise man. and those three chairs will
likely be an eye opener to his neigh
bors. Ii the Hustler" ever sent out
bargains he can be relied ON to do it
under such circumstances.
