Something That Doesn't Change.

From the Des MOines deader,l
Iowa college is leading factor in
the business life of the town of Grin
nell, and in the plea of its citizens to
the board of trustees for the dismissal
of DIR. Heron, it was pointed out that
his obnoxious presence keeps students
away and discourages the cheerful
givers, thus lowering the price of town
lots and injuring the trade in groceries
and other supplies, The petition was
not exactly wordea thus, but this is
about its substance. These Grinnell.
ties certainly can find a precedent for
their action in an episode which took
place in the city of Ephesus some eigh-
teen hundred years ago, the facts in re-
gard to which are set out in the book of
Acts, as follows:
For q certain man named Demetrius,
q eilversmith, which made silver shrines
for Diana, brought no small gain unto
his craftsmen;
Whom he called together, with the

"Sirs, ye know that by this craft we
have our wealth.
Moreover, ye see and hear; that not
alone at Ephesus, but almost through
out all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded
and turned away much people, saying
that they be no gods which are made
with hands:
$50 that not only this our craft is in
danger to be set at naught; but also
that the temple of the great goddess
Diana should be despised, and her
magnificence be destroyed, whom all
Asia and the world worshippeth.
And when they heard these sayings,
they were full of wrath, and cried out:
"Great is Diana of the Ephesians. .

FREAKS OF A TORNADO

New Richmond, Wis. June 19.-One Of
the tornado features which has been
somewhat overlooked in the losses OF
greater moment was the destruction Of
Dollman's circus. A great crowd was
present at the afternoon performance,
and the tent was scarcely emptied be-
fore the storm struck. The circus was
at the south end of the town. and was
one Of the first to be swept into moth
ingness by the wind. The tent was
swirled. torn and rent into a thousand
pieces. part of 1t being carried into the
air and away. Three or four of the cir
Gus employees are reported killed. In
addition. number OF horses and other
animals were killed. The amusement
aggregation carried one good sized ele-
plant. This animal was struck by
huge timber and killed instantly. The
wagons and other paraphernalia were
also demolished. The circus people re-
manned here until Tuesday. buried the
animals. and departed quietly with the
remnants OF the show.
People Are still Dazed.
The people are still so dazed that,
with few exceptions. the bereaved ones
evince no grief or apparent emotion.
This gives the impression of indiner-
ence, but physicians say they are SO
dazed by the disaster that they do not
realize its extent OF their losses OF
friends and property. One old man was
looking over the ruins Of Bannister's
photograph gallery. In answer to a
question as to what he was booking for
he replied, h a perfectly Indifferent
manner:
"Oh. was Just looking for picture
of my wife and children. They were
all killed and my house went, too"
This is a fair sample of the state OF
mind every one is In who has lost part
of OF all they possessed. Money and
supplies are coming in constantly. but
as far as money is concerned. 1t is not
enough to give the desolate town any

Robbers Are Shot at.
At midnight two marauders working
in the ruins were accosted three times
by a sentry They fled, and the sentry
shot at them several times, but missed
his mark. Considerable excitement was
caused by the shooting. A detail of SOL
diers was sent out, but failed to catch
the ghouls. For the first two or three
days the lack of organization in the
town caused great confusion, but with
the arrival of Major Dayon of Governor
Scofleld's staff the work of rescue and
relief was systematized so that all sur
vivors were fed and cared for. o. w.
Mosher of Hudson has directed the
work under Major Dayon. His desk is
a huge dry goods box placed in front Of
the rear veranda of the house. Crowds
of relatives Of the missing surround him
constantly in search of information.
More Bodies in the Ruins.
Most of the bodies recovered have
been Inferred, but dozens are known to
be still buried deep under the ruins.
Many bodies are expected to be found
in the mill pond and Willow river. An
order has been issued excluding every
one but the workmen and searchers
from the ruins, and a strong guard Of
soldiers and deputy sheriffs was placed
to enforce the order. The great force
of the tornado is shown in every foot
of ground in the center of the town.
Doors and joists, massive furniture
and pianos were smashed into splinters.

As the Commercial Travellers See
the Trusts.

Lu0 xTu6C0.
P. E. Dove, President of the Com.

fled before the Industrial Commission
yesterday "a
That the trusts have thrown out of
employment more than $4,000 statesmen
and have reduced the salaries of more
than %, 600.
That they have thus saved" upward
of $114 100000 year, of which 100000
600 comes from salaries 1927, 600, 900 from

All this is undoubtedly quite true
and much to be regretted; yet, at the
