than 200 yards wide. The house was
moved round, the south end being turned
to the north and it was lifted up IN the

from foundation and torn to pieces. but
the floor was not damaged. and the car

girl was lifted up as high as the house.
and came down uninjured- Mrs. Rogers
was found lying on a piece of the wooden
wall of the house. and one part of the
timber was across her breast and another
part on her bowels. Her shoulder was
crushed and bowels injured. She had

TORNADO TOSSED.
SOME DAMAGNA WOMAN DIES
FROM INJURIES.

The tornado which occurred in Bar ton
county nd Ellinwood, Sunday afternoon,
followed a path from tie northeast to
the south west, aud tile storm sporadic
ally. or bounding like a ball, spent its
force along a line north of here aud end
ing at Lakin. About4 80 O'Clock Sunday
afternoon there was visible from this city
a light cloud. having the appearance OF
a bank of dirt, blacker at the bottom,
and funnel shaped, and trayeli..g towards
the west. This cloud was about ten miles
distant. Its appearance attracted the at
tention of many citizens who sought
elevated positions for closer or minute
! observation.
J. II. Cramer, who lives n HodgeIna II
county, was in the city Monday. and gave
us the particulars OF the storm in his sec
ton of the country. lie says the house OF
Wm. II. Rogers. who lives fourteen
miles north and two miles north of Saw
log, entirely demolished by the wind.
The building was Il ee-roomed frame
house, and not particle of it remained
on the ground, and the furniture of the
house was scattered to the winds. The
ground was torn in places and the grass
scorched il by fire. Mrs. Rogers,
woman about fifty years of age, was
badly injured. She was removed to Mr.
from buggy, about year ago, and her
shoulder was severely injured.
A granddaughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Rogers, young girl, was carried up i'll
the air some distance but was let down
unlnjuIed. A cow ana horse were injured
from the effect of which Injuries they
died. a plank, 2x6 inches, was left un-
moYed where the house stood, as freak
of the storm. Mr.. Rogers sustained no
injury, but he no doubt felt the effects of
the storm from his peculiar actions SINCE.
Mr.. Rogers had the care of forty head OF
cattle. which belonged to j. M. DrlskeIl,
of this city. Mr.. Driskeli on Monday,
sent some provisions to the family, who
are i'll poor circumstances, and al most
destitute. The storm followed a very
narrow path and evidently formed near
MIR. Rogers house.
j +. Padgett, who lives SawIog,
says the wind tore down about quarter
of mile of wire fence, belonging to him
and Henry Schmidt. Many of the posts
were pulled out of the ground
The rain which occurred III some parts
of the county, was followed by bail, but
no particular damage was done.

slgns q Prosperlly Aheaa.
ae GIobe pemocrat.

From the Globe Democrat
4 correspondent of the New York
Evening Post goes into an argument
to the effect that good times in this
country viii last at least nine years
longer drawing his premifes from
the commercial ups and downs of the
past. A period of prosperity, he
says, begins with au advance II
stocks and iron, followed in due time
by boons IN railroad construction
the developement of new towns and
cities, heavy immigration, active
general business and real estate
speculation. This writer asserts that
the growth Of the United States pro-
ceeds by successive impulses to the
West The new population quickly
becomes producer and opens fresh
markets for the sale Of manufactured
articles. The outlook for steel, iron
and coal has never been surpassed.
Gold is IN increasing supply and the
1ow-grade gold deposits in this
country ule inexhaqstible, while pro-
cess are constantly improved. Nor
IS this prophet discouraged IN the
least because this is presidential
year He looks for broadening of
business until about 1909, which is
long enough to allow the bushes
world to get iato excellent shape to
meet whatever the next SO called
~3cycle'' may bring forth
Notions about cycles often nislead
the judgment, yet tho basis of fact
adopted by the writer referred to is
undoubtedly correct in the main
But it is essential not to get befogged
on the subject of good government
while running after the alleged laws
Of periodicity. A bad adninistra-
ton, foolish, reactionary Congress,
a tempering with the basis of values,
would turn the most promising cycle
into a period Of loss, doubt and in
dustrial paralysis. One of the worst
TEXTURES Of the Chicago platform,
which it is now settled viii be re
affirmed, is its aYowed purpose to rip
up things generally, from the cur
rency to the Supreme Court. 1t is
the programme of distructives, and
business is extremely sensitive to
tendencies Of that nature. The best
indication of long era of prosper
ity IS the belief of the people that the
men who made the Chicago platform,
and who are its champions for a
second trial, will never be given the
helm of authority in this great and
enlightened nation.

Fattening Hogs with DrOught-Iesist-


Thirty eight different lots of hogs
have been fattened at the Kansas Ex-
pertinent Station on crops that do
well on upland and are good drought
resisters.
The work shows that with these
feeds average mixed-bred hogs need
ed from 10 to 80 per cent more feed
to gain leo pounds than pure-bred
hogs
4 combination of two of our best
seeds fer upland and dry years
kafircorn and soy beans-produced
more pork per bushel than corn, and
Kafir-corn produced more pork per
acre than corn. ka6r-corn fed with
alfalfa hay secured rapid fattening
and we'll finished hogs. One-ffth
SOW beans added to corn or kafir-
corn saved from IS to 81 per cent of
the feed, and with some lots nearl y
doubled the Egain made by the hogs
Hogs fed creamery sl1im-rnilk with
grain gained So pounds, while those
not having milk gained 10 pounds.
In another trial hogs fed grain alone
gained II pounds in the same time
that those fed grain and creamery
skim-milk gained 50 pounds.
One hundred thirty head Of the
hogs fattened in these experiments
were shipped to packers and slaught-
er tests were made by Armour q Co.
and by Swift & Co. who reported
unusually good quality Of pork from
some combinations Of drought-resist-
ing feeds and poor quality from others.
The yields Of the crop used, the
showing Of only one crop failure in
eleven years and the good results OBJ
tanned from fattening hogs with
6rought-resisting crops, show a great
er certainty of crops and more pork
from an acre than are usually secured
from ordinary feeds in other states
Bulletin No. 95 gives full particulars
of these experim tents and Is sent free
