con another occasion, when stopping
at a farmhouse,a a cyclone came up and
he, with the family, went into the cell
lar. The house was soon blown away; {;
presently the cellar went, too, rolling
over and over like silk hat. He was
early spilled out, but with infinite
labor dragged himself back in the
teeth of the wind, intending to take
refuge in the hole the cellar came out
of, but to his great CONSERVATION he
found that the hole had been blown
away also. Shortly after this, far
mer was riding along the road with
jug of sorghum tied with strap to
his saddle-horn. A cyclone came up,
and after it had passed the jug handle
was found inside the jug and the strap
was sticking out of the jugs mouth,
the jug having been blown inside out
without spilling a drop of the molasses.
During the same blow goat happened
20 get in its path, and his hair was
blown off until he looked as clean as
skinned banana. This made the
goat look so much like Mexican dog
with horns that it was placed on ex-
hibition at the Worlds fair, attracting
attention as one of the great curiosi-
ties of the century.

BREEZY KANSAS YARNS.
How Eastern Correspondents Add to the
Unique Fame of a Great State.

Mr.. Coburn, the agricultural COM
missioner of Kansas, charges all the
notoriety that Kansas has suffered
from during the last quarter of GEN.
tury to eastern newspaper correspon-
dents, who, he says, have visited that
state, and have tried to interest theN
readers by inventing freaks and fabul.
Gus stories.
''It has been left to the correspon-
dents of eastern papers to portray
Kansas to the world in all the various
shades and tints," says Mr.. Coburn,
''from those of gloomiest midnight
and deepest woe to brightest MONDAY
and heavens gliding. His finest
work, that which has always stamped
him as possessing the true artistic
temperament, has been his treatment
of weather conditions, especially our
impulsive zephyrs and periods of pro-
crastinated rainfall. The lines of
thought always discernible in his work
are that we are in chronic condition
of cyclone, drought or blizzard, varie-
gated by invasions end devastations of
chinchbugs and grasshoppers. In
dealing with the former he describes
the wind which he says blew COW up
against the side of barn and held
her there for II days, or until she
starved to death. The same wind, says
this veracious chronicler, blew the
cracks out of the fences, sucked a
cistern from the ground, moved the
township line and changed the day
of the week, while it yanked the bung-
hole out of barrel and buried it in a
sandhill 80 miles away.

ABOUT BERNHARDT.

Nine. Bernhard gives the following
account of her admission into the Con-
servatoire: "Auber was present, and
asked me: Your name is Sarah?' Yes
SIR You are a Jewess?' BY birth,
sir, but I have been baptized Sarah
then recited two verses of Les Deu1
Pigeons" and was interrupted. THAT
will do; you are admitted" Then came
the business Of selecting the right
class. Beauvallet declared for tragedy
Regnier for comedy, Provost for both
and Sarah selected both, and thus de-
voted herself simultaneously to the
culture Of the two muses., Melpomene
and Thalia.

Thursday, Dec, II, 1899.

brigham Roberts, the Mormon
Congressman of Utah, has no consti-
tutional right to a seat in the lower
house. He violated the constitution
in marrying more than one wife. He
is firm in his determination not to
desert any one ofthcm. There are
doubtless many other Congressmen
and Senators, too, having married
only one wife, are still lending sup
port to women whom they can not
legally, and whom they do not, marry.
The latter is doubtless the greater
moral wrong.

An effort is to be made to revive
the quarterly meetings of the Snyder
County Historical Society. The
work is a very important one. The
membership up to this time has been
very small and the expense required
to bind up the county newspapers
for many years past and other neces-
sary expenses of getting important
material in proper shape for preser-
walton has been too great for the
present membership to liquidatc.
This is very important work and
one which will accrue to the benefit
of every resident of Snyder comfy
now ard hereafter. Hence, it is
but proper that as many as practi-
cable should contribute toward this
expense. 1t is presumed that all
members of the society should be
active workers, but if they can not
do that, there are many who could
and should join the ranks. The
dues are only one dollar per year for
members and there are many who
could and should connect themselves
Herewith and contribute their share
toward an object, the result of which
will live for centuries.

Though we were in error concerning

Georgin's sAnti-Cigarette Crusade.

Atlanta, Dec. 1.-THE lower house
Of the general assembly yesterday
adopted a resolution requesting the
senators and congressman from Geor-
gia to introduce and support bill
authorizing the state Of Georgia to
enact legislation looking to the inter-
vention OF the importation Of cigar
cites into the state. A bill which has
been pending before the house would
have stopped the manufacture Of Gig
arettes in this state, but under the in
terstate commerce law they could have
been brought to Georgia from other
states

An Appeal to the State Press.

Immediately upon the organiza-
ton oftne House of Representatives
Congressman Mahon introduced
bill authorizing the Court of Claims
to pass upon the losses Of citizens in
the border counties in the Confed-
crate raid into and Invasion ofPenn-
sylvania during the civil war. These
so-called "Bordcr Claims" are for
property taken or destroyed in the
counties af Franklin, Fulton, Bed
ford, Somerset, Cumberland, Perry,
Adams and York. In the case of
Chambersburg the losses were es-
pecially heavy, the town being al
most entirely destroyed July 80,
1864. When the raids occurred
the Pennsylvania border was always
defcnceless. While fathers, hus-
bands, sons and brothers were fight
ing the battles of the Union their
homes were left without protection.
Surely after thirty five years, in this
epoch of universal prosperity, a rich
and powerful government can reim-
burse the losses of a people who en-
dured and suffered more than the
rest OF their countrymen, north of
Mason and Dixion's Line, from the
ravages of civil strife.
In pressing this measure Mr.. Ma
hon will need the cooperation, not
only OF all the people of this and
adjoining Congressional districts, but
of the entire State. We trust he will
not receive perfunctory or luke
warm support. He will Of course
have the active assistance of Con-
gressman Ziegler, Of York, and Con-
gresham Thropp, Of Bedford, but

Among other reasons for the shortage
the Journal says:
"One is that the oyster was not in

was not able to Withstand the hot sum-

a bad effect and the August n Octo-
