Chicago visited by w.nu storm.

Hail, heat and hurricane struck var

18th, and gave the city one of the
most fantastic days from a meteorolog-
zeal point of view that the local
weather bureau has ever encountered.
There were many heat prostrations
during the day, but at midnight only
one death had been reported-Paul
Suckan. OF those FRUSTRATED, five are
in a serious condition. In the evening
the hot wind which had been blowing
from the west all day increased in vio-
lence. 1t tore down signs, destroyed
shrubbery and shade trees, made sport
with porch furnishings and played
havoc with buildings under course of
erection. In Lincoln park many of the
small boats were driven ashore before
the blast and their occupants compelled
to wade to the land. None of the boats
capsized, although there were many
narrow escapes.

WANTED SONG AND JIG.
A Good Story at the Expense of
Bacon and Lewis.

While Senator Bacon was deliver
ing his great speech against expansion
the other day nearly all the members
of the Georgia delegation were pres
ent to hear what he had to say in an
swer to the young "Indiana David" of
the republican tribe, Senator Bever-
idge.
During q lull in the proceedings a
good story was quietly related in the
cloak room at the expense OF Senator
Bacon by one of the members of the
house. 1t appears that Senator Bacon
and Representative Lewis, who repre-
sents Speaker Crisp's Old district, were
campaigning in Georgia. Mr.. Lewis
is short and slight, while Senator Ba-
con is more than foot taller, and
would easily weigh 200 pounds. The
senator and Mr.. Lewis were scheduled
to speak in a small town not far from
Americas.
The hall selected for the meeting
would hardly accommodate 100 persons.
The village school master conceived
the idea of giving his pupils an oppor-
tunity to see and hear two distinguish
ed Georgia statesmen on the musings.
At the hour designated for the meet
inc the school master and his young
charges filed into the hall and occupied
nearly three-quarters of the seating
CAPACITY. Back of the school children
were two or three rows of seats con-
tanning ladies also interested in the
meeting, so that scarcely any available
space was left for the male population
of the town.
When Senator Bacon and Mr.. Lewis
came upon the platform they were
somewhat surprised to find the hall
pre-emptied by women and children.
Senator Bacon was loaded with red
! hot political speech which he proposed
| to fire at the voters in that vicinity.
With considerable display of indigna-
ton he announced to the men Of the
local committee that he came to speak
to men and not to children, and re-
ouested that the school children give
way to the voters who were outside
clamOring for admission. The chair
man of the committee quietly informed
the school master what Senator Bacon
had said, whereupon the teacher IN a
tone of whitening sarcasm stood up ana
proclaimed in loud voice:
| "Children, you see yOnder real live
senator and a real live congressman on
the same platform. Now, if the big one
will sing a song and the little fellow
will dance a Jig we will 60"
