The unanimous seating yesterday of
Hon. r. F. Kidd, Democrat, as a member
of the West Virginia State Senate adds
another complication to the United States
Senatorship from that State. Mr.. Kidd
was elected to the State Senate by ma
jority of 14l over his Republican oppo-
neus. He received a certificate of cleo
lion from the judges of election, mostly
Republicans, and another from the Sec
retary of State. His election was con-
tested by Mr. Morris, Republican, but at
the meeting of the Legislature Mr. Kidd
was swo.n IN az Senator. On the eve of
the election of United States Senator,
when Hon. n. b. Scott, Of Wheeling,
was elected by majority of only one,
Mr.. Kidd WAS unseAted on report from
the Republican majority of the commit.
tee ON privileges and elections, and was
prevented from voting for United States
Senator. The committee, after the un.
seating Of Mr. Kidd, proceeded to inyes-
tgate the case, The result being that it

Kelly's Opinion.

A Chicago special says: Lieut.. Ed
ward E. Kelly of the volunteer signal
corps, who has just returned from Ma
Mia, is in this city visiting friends, en-
route to his home at Darlington, N. D.
The lieutenant enlisted in the North Da-
kota volunteers at the outbreak of the
war and was afterwards transferred to
the signal corps, in which service he was
promoted to a lieutenancy.
Lieut.. Kelly said:
The newspaper stories have been
greatly exaggerated. There is no organ
ized rebellion in the islands at this time.
There are a few bands of insurgents on
Quoting a bushwhacking warfare, but
there is not a force of Filipinos in the
island which will make Il stand against
the American troops. Gen. Otis has
broken up their organization, and when
he receives enough troops to garrison
the towns and maintain law and order,
what is now left of the instruction will
disappear.
Gen. Otis has been unduly criticised.
He is a Woodworking man. He can be
found at his office from 6 a. IN. until mid
night. Il is my opinion that it will re-
quire at least 100000 men to hold the
islands for a time, but the troops will be
used for garrison duty and not for fight
ing.

To give the stem a hasty wipe,
Fill up, and take another light.
A living contradiction he

And tenets, set, of hygiene
Who lived and throve on nicotine,
At eventide, he sat beside

A glowing coal, and far and wide
Upon the air the smoke wrcaths played.
The little children to umusc
He brcathes forth rings and curlcy-cucs
Forth giant clouds of smoke he blows
And makes Twin tunnels of his nose.
His wife, dear soul, so meek and mild,
While not completely reconciled,
Had lived and breathcd from year to year
In such u smoky atmosphere,
That she of railing had been rn,t.I
And, full immune, the smoke endured
And wheezed and sneezed and said 81 fear

He left off smoking when he died.
And his dear wife she cried and cried,
Recalled the long ago-ab bride,
And all those smoky years beside,
And, thinking of his pipe alone,
Above his grave she raised a stone
And had upon its face Inscribed:
Hes smoking on the other side"

REMARKABLY DESTRUCTIVE
STORM.

Pembina Pioneer Express: The
most extensive and destructive hail
storm on record in this county Oc-
CURED on Monday evening. The
direction of the storm was from the
northwest to the southwest, passing
through the central part Of the county.
Its path was from four to six miles
wide and passed through Il section
of the country which was practically
almost an unbroken field of wheat
and other cereals. nearly all of which
IA above the average in appearance
as to probable yield.
The violence of the hail and wind
was such that in the path of the storm
the destruction was absolute and total.
Considerable glass was broken on the
windward side of buildings and fowls
and small animals suffered severely.
The track Of the storm was nearly
c%oincident in Hamilton and Carlisle
townships with Il similar storm two
years ago and the sufferers in this
belt are particularly deserving of sym
pathy.
The present storm was remarkable
for the width of it's destructive path.
Few hail storms v more than a
mile, and two miles wide is eXtraordin-
airy. but this storm had an average
width of Mt least four miles over a
stretch Of country at least thirty miles
in length, and then crossing the Red
river went east to Stephen twenty
miles farther. carrying similar de-
struction in it's track.
AS to the total amount Of actual
damage it is hard to get at. except by
approXimating. We make the follow
ing figures. Anyone can change
them according to his own Judgment
and knowledge. but they will do for a
basis. Allowing 600 acres cultivated
on each section and SIS per acre loss
would make $1,000 loss per section.
At. this writing we hear of the storm,
destroying crops three miles west OF
Tyner; from there to the Red river,
where it crossed, is about thirty miles.
The path of total destruction, there
fore, approximates at least four miles
by thirty miles, equal to 12O sections;
and If the loss averages $1,000 per sec.
ton the total loss would equal $780,.
600.
