A Terrible Cyclone.

A terrific cyclone struck the town
of Kirksville, Mo, last Tuesday after
noon about 6 o'clock, and the east end
of the town was literally wiped out.
Four hundred houses were destroyed,
nearly one hundred persons were killed
in the city or nearby, and perhaps a
thousand people were more or less IN
iured. To add to the horror, fire
broke out in the ruins, and some OF
the bodies Of the victims were Gre
mated. When the cyclone struck the
city most of the residents were at sup
per. The storm cut a clean path one
mile long and 600 feet wide through
the residence section, leaving death
aud destruction in its wake. Build
ings were demolished or twisted apart
and scattered. A conservative esti-
mate places the aggregate amount Of
damage at 100000. The wind played
many pranks and there were some
miraculous escapes. J. c. Coonfeld
and his family were at supper when
the cyclone struck their home. The
house was picked up, carried across
a slough and dumped up against
hill. The family escaped with moth
ing worse than severe shaking up.
While John Mccall was cinging to
cherry sapling, twelve-year-old boy,
John Gebhart, came down toward him
from the sky. He caught and saved
the boy with only bruises to both.
The Youngsters home.has been demol-
ished two blocks away and he says he
was carried that distance in the wreck
age.
Hunter Lowe, a farmer, and his
wife were overtaken by the tornadon
a buggy half mile from their house.
They were blown out Of the vehicle
and painfully hurt. A moment later
their home vanished and their three
children went with it to destruction,
Miss Whaley was impaled upon fly
ingtree limb and almost disemboweled.
Surgeons sawed the limb off at both
ends, fearing 10 remove it. The young
woman lived two hours. An aged man
and his wife had evidently been eating
their evening meal when the cyclone
struck and carried their home away.
They had clasped each other in their
arms and were found dead on the
ground some distance away from where
their home had been. No trace of
their house has been seen. Several Of
the dead were found in spots which
would have been the centre Of the
houses had the buildings not been
blown to spHnters. This was the case
with Mrs. Panschott, whose headless
body, with its arms clasping her life
less baby, was found on the floor of
the house, which was left as RACED
platform in an open field.
A dispatch from Lancaster, Mo-,
says: A great many articles of wear
ing apparel, papers and pieces Of jew
elry bearing the names of Huntsville
persons were found strewn over thu
eastern part of Lancaster county on
Saturday. They were blown from
Kirksville, twenty-five miles, by the
tornado. Among other things was a
a 500 note.

On the first page of the REGISTER
this week will be found a striking
poem. 1t is from the pen Of our friend
Mr.. George Alfred Townsend, the dis
tinguished author and newspaper
writer whose pen name, Gath, is a
household word in this country. The
poem will appear in a new book now
in press, entitled Poems of Men and
Events" and Mr., Townsend has kind,
" sent us advance sheets with per-
mission to print in the REGISTER
The author of "Packhorse Ford" has
revealed in words of beauty and
strength the secrets of the familiar
old crossing-place, and though
1--WE do not see the prints of time beneath the rPPe'
and the food"
the eye of the poet has nevertheless
pierced the mystery and his pen has
told the tale.
Primitive man learned first the
ford, the buffalo next, and then the
Indian made it highway. The pei
try hunter guided "the woods-lost
emigrant," and upon its pebbled floors
crossed the sturdy settlers, and "stood
upon Virginia's rim" Later, "the
men of Morgan crossed the ford, and
Rumsev steamboat echoed the scream
of the eagle.
Then closed the vine its yestibules and river travel
ers knew 1t not
until great armies appeared upon Its
banks, and the route Of savage times
by the savage issues is restored-the
blood of Antietam's hosts swell the
Redeemed waters of the ford. Now in
these days the old ford still its beau
ty holds, like lovely girls OF Shep-
herdstown, but what shall be in time
to come? Strange is the tale that
has been told, but its past history
may be but as single word to that
which is to come, for
"A thousand years are but day to Evolution and
the Lord"

POSTAGE to be Reduced to One Cent.

The enormous increase in the number
of letters carried in the L. 5. mails
makes it certain that the rate of postage
must eventually be reduced to one cent
an ounce. The President who succeeds
in getting such a measure through Con-
gresS will hold high place in the es-
TEEN of the people, but no higher than
the esteem in which everybody holds

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an iniamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When the tube gets
infamed you have a rumblng sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

An Ancient Belief.

The ancients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work of demon within
man. Any one who has had an at
tack Of sciatic or infammatory rheu-
matism will agree that the infection is
demoniac enough to warrant the belief.
1t has never been claimed that Cham
berlain's Pain Balm would cast out
demons, but it will cure rheumatism,
and hundreds bear testimony to the
truth of this statement. One applica-
ton relieves the pain. and this quick
relief which it affords is alone worth
