4 Town Near Onaha, Neb., Totally De-
stroyed.

rtToyeu.
The town Of Herman, thirty miles
north of Omaha, was wiped out by a
tornado Tuesday night. Twenty were
killed aud seventy injured. The
town had five hundred people
and three hundred houses. Not one
was lett standing.
Herman was found one mass of
runs, and few people were able to
search the debris, for the screaming
and dying victims seemed bereft of
their reason. Mer, women and chill
dren with arms, legs and heads hOrri-
bly, cut, almost dangling from their
mangled bodies, flied the streets,
screaming for relief. The wrecked
town was visited by water spout
immediately following the tornado,
and many are believed to have been
drowned in their wrecked homes.
The cyclone passed back and forth
through the town twice, according
To eye witnesses.
The frat train to arrive at Blair
from the scene of disaster brought
% dead, ipjurt and homeless peO
Pile from the wrecked town.
The cyclone had swept down the
main street, crushing buildings ii
though they we're shells. The only
brick building of Importance in the
town was the bank.

A Mississlppi Editor,s COMPLAINT.

"Fish down into your pocket and dig
up dust;
The editor is hungry and the paper
bout to bust.
We've trusted you for several
months, and did 1T with a smile,
So just return the compliment and
nust US for awhile.
Our wife she needs some stockings,
and baby needs drees;
Jimmy needs some breecues, and
SO does Kate and Bess.
Pud is on the hog train, and Peggy
sick with grief,
And good gosh almighty, can't
you give man rellet9
Shell Out those nlckels and turn
loose the dimes;
Turn EN- loose and whistle and
we'll have better times;
There will be fewer patches on the
bosom of our pants,
And we'd make the paper better
IT we had half chance.
Don't give US that old story, long
gone to seed,
Bout taking more family papers
than the family want to read;
But help to feed the printer, and
he'll help our town to grow,
And thus escape the SULPHUR in
the regions down below"

A Presidents Grave Unmarked.


Two pages of pictures in the June
Ladies Home Journal, giving views
OF the places "Where Our Presidents
are Buried re call the fact that four
of the first five of our Chief Execu-
tives sleep IN the soil of Old Virginia.
The picture shows that the grave of
President John Tyler, at Richmond,
Virginia, is absolutely unmarked
even by a small headstone. Visitors
to Hollywood Cemetery are shown a
scarcely perceptible mound over
which a magnolia tree spreads
its shade in summer, rs the resting
place of our tenth President. The
burial-places of all the others are
marked with monuments or tombs,
except those of the two Adamses,
who are buried under the portico o,
the First church at Quincy, Massa.

HENRY A. WISE ON CHIMNEY ROCK.

What virginia's Former Gov rnor said of
THIS Famous N ,rih Carolina Crag
In the midst of one of his impassion-
ed speeches years ago, during the
"Know Nothing" campaign, the late
Henry A. Wise, formerly governor of
Virginia, and perhaps it's most elo-
quent orator, stretched himself to his
full height and exclaimed: "Those
mountains which lift their hands to
milk the clouds" The old chap was
without doubt referring to Chimney
Rock. His index finger was pointing
directly at Chimney Rock. Henry A.
Wise is deao. But Chimney Rock still
lives Henry A. Wise is immortal. So

During the last twcnty-sevcn years the
English realm has increased by 2.S54,-
Nc square miles, and within the same
period 125.O00,0O0 have been added to
he population.
Since 1871 the population of the

Bishop Moret and four French
priests were passengers on recent
steamship from the Orient. Passing
through the thousand perils of a mis-
sionary's life in the wild hill lands of
the interior OF China, they were des-
tined to spend the most thrilling mo-
ments OF their existence near the little
hamlet OF Banff, on the line OF tbs
Canadian Pacific railway.
Towering over the town is a huge
glacier, the wonder and admiration of
world-trotters. Recently the railway
company has imported Alpine guides
Tor the safety Of venturesome tourists
who insist upon scaling the slippery
ascent. 1t is counting death to make
the trip unaccampanied by guides. but
Bishop Moret and his companions de-
termined TO go and go alone. Thew
started i'll the early morning, refusing
the offices of the Alpine experts.
Not taking their seats at the dining
table, the manager OF the Banff Hotel
became alarmed, and at O'Clock the
Alpine guides were sent to search for
them. All night they searched the
hundreds of crevices by the light of
torches and returned next morning for
food, continuing the search all the fol-
lowing day. At nightfall shouting and
cries were heard, mingled with strange
chants. AS they drew nearer the
guides could hear the prayers Of the
priests and their Bishop exhorting
them to place their trust in God.
Not until the guides got directly over
the half-crazed Frenchmen could they
make their voices reach them, but thew
we're found at last huddled together
IN a creyice some thirty feet deep with
perpendicular walls and glare ice on
both sides.
