One of the most destructive lorna
does ever experienced in the South
passed over portion of Texas Sunday.
Mount Pleasant, in Titus county, and
Stephenville were great sufferers. The
storm came from the northwest, and
completely devastated a strip about
200 yards wide. 1t was accom-
panied by lightning, which added
to the confusion and destruction.
Several persons are reported to have
been killed and many seriously wound.
ed from the whirling debris. This
storm was only excelled by the one
three years ago which destroyed Cisco
and by which fifty people were killed.

THE Pops are not alone in coming
new words and expressions for party
service. The Vancouver Independent,
in an effort to be particularly severe
upon its political foes, says that those
who oppose Mark Hanna's political
methods have "Hobbyhorsical minds. +"
1t seems to us that with language
whose vocabulary surpasses all others
in number of words and richness OF
expression, that there is little excuse
for the manufacture of such uncouth
expressions.

THE logging camps on Gray's Har-
Dor will close till after the 4th of July
not on account of any lull in the de-
mand for lumber, but to avoid pro-
duction of logs in excess of the capac-
ity of the mills and to ensure a steady
adjustment of fair prices. The Shin.
gle mills contemplate similar action
to protect the price of first-class pro-
ducts. The competition of the fair-to-
middling article has to a large degree
rendered it impossible to maintain a
just rate for the strictly first.class ar.
ticle. A meeting of the State Associ-
alton of Washington Red Single
Manufacturers will be held in Seattle
tomorrow, to determine upon the pol
icy to be pursued.

SENATOR PETER, the longest-whis-
kered Populist of them all, has re-
turned to the Republican fold, which
shows how much sincerity has actual
ed his motives in the spasmodic at
tempt to found a new party. The Re-
publican party is just the opposite from
every point of contention of the or.
ganization which owed its existence to
the false doctrines and mistakes of
the dominant party, while with the
Democratic party the Populists had
much of principle that was held in
common. When q leader like PETER
goes back entirely upon his professions
Of reform, it shows very clearly that
politics is with him more a stock in
trade than matter of principle.

brave and good she was to bear her burden
with such fortitude. Ore by one her girl
friends were joined to the men of their
choice. She sent them all presents and
received from each a piece of wedding

didn't put under her pillow because ii
wasn't any good for her to dream. No
man could marry her. A life of solitary
suffering was hers. Yet her sad smile only
got brighter as her cross got heavier One
day young man found his way into that
home (; looking upon this girl, he loved
her. And so he came often and she grew
to look for him, and learned to lean on
him, and dreamed the pretty dreams that
come to pure women whose hearts God has
fashioned for happy love. But over all the
prospect was the shadow of her cross.

"I'll break this cross to pieces or I'll die
trying" And then she looked around for
help. And by chance or providence there
came into her hands book -the book
whose title and contents are referred to
below. 1t appealed to her. Common
sense was what she needed. She realized
now that she had eyes, hands, organs,
dimensions like her girl friends, who were
matrons and mothers. She realized that it
was not common sense that she should be
born to be crushed by her cross.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
were her inalienable rights and she wanted
the full rights of her womanhood. It was
common sense she needed. She had tried
all the uncommon, extraordinary and ex-
travagant forms of treatment, now she
wanted less medicine and more common
sense. 1t was thus she began the use of
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. The
rest of the story sounds like fairy story.
But it is only like fairy story in that it
ends amid the merry clang of marriage

1t seemed miracle to her friends to see
this martyr. this patient cross bearer, get
up from her sofa and begin to live. 1t was
more strange when she took to golf and
the wheel, and tennis, with all the ardor
of one SO long excluded from out door
enjoyment. And strangest of all that she
became the mother of healthy, happy chill
dren. This is not fairy story ii is not
the story of one person. 1t is the story of
thousands of women. 1t is compost
picture in which one can trace face behind
face, lined with suffering, channeled by
tears. 1t is a story as true as the parable
of the Prodigal Son, which was not the
story of one young man but the story of the
type which repeats itself generation after
generation and is as common to Europe as
to Asia, to Africa as to America.

DURHAM VS.. SOUTHERN.
Courts VIII be Asked to Decide Wheth-
or the Town Owns it's Streets

Durham, N. c., Aug. 5.-(Special)-
The city Of Durham has instituted suit
against the Southern Railway Company
TO determine the ownership of Peabody
street. This is not the first time that
the matter has found its way into the
courts. Some years ago the town
brought suit against the Richmond and
Danville system. then lessees of the
North Carolina road, to decide the own
ership of the street The courts de-
cided in the towns favor. The North
Carolina road being in the hands Of the
Southern system, that company claims
that the decision Of the courts effected
only the Richmond and Danville road
and not either the North Carolina or
Southern roads. The city now desires
the matter settled once for all, hence
this suit. The trouble over the owner
ship of Peabody street really began in
1889, when the Durham and Northern
road entered Durham The city granted
the ID. and n. road right-of-way up
this street, but the Richmond and
Danyille people objected. Then there
followed suits, injunctions, etc, and
finally the road was laid up the street
at night. The road since then has been
known as the 'Moonshine Railroad" 1t
is not the intention or wish of this city
to run the Southern off this street, but
it Claims that it has the right to use the
street as public highway or in any 9th
or capacity the city authorities may de-
sire so long as the Southern has its
right-of-way up the street. In 1901
the lease Of the Durham and Northern
road. now owned by the Seaboard Air
Line, will expire, and it is generally UNI
derstood that the Southern road will
Immediately demand that the ID. and
n. as well as the city get off the street
entirely. Anticipating this move on the
part Of the Southern people, the city has
begun the suit to protect itself and its
rights The case will come up for trial
in October City Attorney V. S.
Bryant, assisted by Messrs.. r. b.
Boone, Judge K. w. Winston, f. l..
Fuller, James s. Manning and III. A.
Foushee will appear for the city There
is no feeling here against the Southern
and the question for settlement is pure

tude.
