ont Apparent Cause.
The Chicago Chronicle has a queer
story about the state house library Mt
Indianapolis. A week ago Miss SPRING
er, an assistant, thought she saw the
po4rait of General Washington move.
She watched and it moved again. The
librarian was summoned and he de-
cided 1t was occasioned by the wind,
and the matter dropped. A mirror
fell a few days later aud the frame
containing a death mask of President
Lincoln had loosened and fallen, and
Miss Chaplin, who faced the row Of
governors portraits which hang on
the north library wall, suddenly
stopped work und pointed to the oil
painting of Governor Claude Mat
thews. The picture was moving
slowly, but surely, and the canvass on
which the features of the democratic
executive were painted was swaying
backward and forward.
The movement soon stopped and the
librarian was again sought. He did
not believe the picture had moved, but
Just as the young women were ex-
planning the occurrence the frame be-
gan to move again, slowly and pom
derously. The picture can scarcely be
lifted by II man. Then the librarian
gave in. He admitted TINT he knew of
no u for the motion of the pic
ture. He started to spring the draft
theory, but the young women would
not hear of it, and he admitted that
he did not believe u draft could have
moved the picture.
The librarian said: ''Thesc things
are true and strange. I do not believe
they are supernatural, but they can
pot be explained any other way"

The philosopher of the Huron HUI

tip:
The rough riding of the ~untaught
cowboy OF South Dakota knocks Bills

not in it. There was better work in
the open field at Pierre Sunday after
noon by the Sioux range cowboy than
one can get for his 80 cents under

dents are rapidly fading into reminis-
cences, but at Pierre Sunday we had
the rather novel combination of a
modern Sunday excursion where one
might witness the American game of
baseball in one field and the daredevil
rough riding of the Indian and the
cowboy In a~nother-the cowboy and
the Indian on his native heath, the
Sunday baseball on land, the naphtha
launches on water and the %statehouse
In the distance. The makeup of the
throng comprised cowboys, Indians,
politicians. business men-all classes,
and all there to entertain and be en-
tertained."

in the Outlook. | have never, except
once, to a reporter from my own home
paper, been interviewed for publica-

scores of supposed interviews have
been published in daily papers. One
large New York daily a few weeks ago
published two letters purporting to
come from me, and signed my name
to them. l never wrote such letters,
and never made the statements at
tributed to me. Yet these letters
were reprinted in papers all over the
country and in religious wceklies, and,
with two exceptions, zone of the edi-
tors asked me whether the statements
We're really mine or not. A prominent

torship of it. He sent to his paper

several columns of ''intervicws'' and
accounts of my personal habits and
family life, nearly all Of which might

TORNADO in MINNESOTA.


Great Damage Done in the Rco
RIVER Valley.
Grand Forks, n. d., July 31.-The
tornado that passed north of Hills
boro Saturday evening was one OF the
worst ever experienced in the Red riv.
er valley.
The storm passed n few miles west
of Mayville and Portland, near the
boundary line between Steele and
Trail counties, between 4 and 9
o'clock in the afternoon, and went
straight east entirely through Trail
county, and across the Red river into
Minnesota, where it split, one part
going east into Beltrami county, Min.
nesotn, and the other veering south to
IInlsted.
The path of the storm through
Tail county is five miles wide and
thirty-four miles long, and the loss is
total, not only all of the grain, but all
garden vegetables are totally ruined.
Three miles north of Caledonia the
storm struck the home OF Thomas
Iverson, totally demolishing 1t and
killing the 87-yeAr-old son. The escape
of the other members of the family
was fairly miraculous, some Of them
being carried forty rods through the
air by the force of the wind, but with
out injury.
At Caledonia the city hall and Pres.
byterian church were demolished and
nearly every building in the city bad.
" wrecked.
Four miles north of Hillsboro the
synod church was completely dc.
stroyed. The damage to stock is quite
heavy.
It is expected that full reports from
Trail county will show a loss OF prop,
erty greater than ever has been
known in the state from a similar
cause.
Horses and cattle in pastures were
crazed by the pelting of the hail
stones, many of which We're as large
rs n mans fist. The hail stones lay
on the ground three and four inches
deep after the storm.
