which affixed itself to The memories o,
al! who saw it, was tbs departure of 8
blind man and HE family. In the
years past before TIE terrible calamity
IN the loss of HIS eyesight, befell the
man, he had beer, most industrious and
saving, laying up sum for the rainy
Jay which Comes to all. After the
mans eyssight began to fail him. he
ceased his manual labor and by his
savings established himself i'm small
business. The revenue derived from
Tue establishment, although meager.
was sufficient to support him and his
ana despite his terrible affliction the
tamlly lead peaceful, contented aud
fnappy life. But, his little all was swept
away IN that terrible wind, leaving his
family homeless and him helpless. A
few minutes before the north bound
tram pulled in. the destitute family
came slowly through the wreckage, on
their way TO the depot. In one arm the
patient wife carried babe, while with
the other she helped and directed the
blind father and husband. Behind
them In 9 sorrowful procession follow
ed three little children, not one of them
over six years Of age These were in
their bare feet, and their frai bodies
were clothed only in the thinest calico
dresses, the only eli, thin, saved from
the wreck. From the wreckase the
wife had gathered toys, trinAets and
other articles emblema.ical Of hannier
days passed. These she all placed in
an old wash boiler, and the husband
carried them, AS the mournfnl process
sion fled onto the depot platform the
| sighfseers comprehended in an instant
ne entire facts of the case, and help.
tina. cial aid. etc. we're rendered the
family, in abundance. AS the train
pulled out with the sorrowinp party
aboard the wife looked upon the wreck
age of their former home in which had
cen spent so many happy days, the
look OF anguish that overspread her
lcountenace was one which will ALWAYS
be remembered.
During the storm house on the
outskirts of the town, barely escaped
destruction. A piece of pine board
about two feet long and two inches
wide was driven through the heavy
door of the house. The huge splinter
passed through the door as would a
bullet, and crossing the room 1t pene-
trated safe door and broke earthen
ware jar.

raided an institution of vice and mi.
guilty which has been running full
swing on Fifth street for the past few
days.
In the house were found two young
women, who in police court this morn
ing related story, literally interspers-
ed with tears, about this being their
first appearance In court; their homes
were In Woodbine and were utterly
ignorant Of the character of the house
in which they were found. One of
them was about 20 years old, and told
the court that she was married wom-
en-. The other was a young girl abor
sixteen years old and appare.' tly this
escspadewas her initial trip to Ninevah.
The officers also arrested two young
men, residents of this city, and after
lodging In jail all night the qusrtette
was brought up before Mayor James
this forenoon each plead guilty to the
charge preferred, that of being an In
mate Of Q house of Ill fame
The younger of the girls was lined

released from custody.

a mark of honor for its old and faith
full members; and the action of Mo
Valley Lodge No. 40, in designating
certain brothers as worthy to receive
the medals prepared. At the close OF
his remarks, Arthur Ellis, N. G., step
ped forward, and In the name Of the
