THE RURAL COMEDY,

Which is to appear at the Belding
Opera house, on Wednesday evening,
Sept. 5, entitled Isl PLUNKARD"
is graphic and amusing picture of
rural life and characterization. Mr..
Lewis, in the title role OF the Yankee
peddler, and drum major in the Fair
view Band, brings plenty of humor
to this part and creates a deal Of
amusement. The inventor, the bogus
stock speculator, the old farmer and
Sis pretty sweetheart are all well sus.
tained characters.
There is a good deal that is novel in
the play. The farm scene with its
threshing machine at work captures
the audience. Clever specialties are
introduced by big company OF come
dians which goes to make up an even
ings's entertainment OF fun from start
to finish. The comedy having been
entirely rewritten this season pre-
sents new dialogues, new situations,
new scenic and mechanical effects,
making it one OF the strongest farce
comedies now before the public, and
the superb orchestra carried by this
company will entertain the patrons
during the acts with their musical Sc

A COAT OF TAR.
Administered to Couple of DOwie
Elders by Citizens of Mans
field, o.

Mansfield, O., Sept. 24.-Two Dowie
elders, Silas Moot, of Lima, and Eph-
rain Bassinger, of Button, were
stripped of their clothing and paint
ed with tar by mob of $500 Mansfield
citizens Sunday morning. The two ell
ders were roughly handled by the mob,
and Elder Moot, who showed a DISPOSE
ton to resist, was beaten and kicked
into submission. After the tar had
been applied the two elders were
marched through the streets and greet
ed with jeers. They presented sorry
spectacle with great quantities of tar
dripping from their hair and boards.
The two marched arm in arm at the
head of the procession, the target for
missiles of al descriptions. Moot's
clothing hung in tatters. The right
leg of his trousers was entirely gone
and exposed the black tarred flesh.
Both wore stiff hats, smashed almost
down over their ears. Bassinger's
clothes were not torn and he wore
a macintosh.

CYCLONE CAUSES DEATH.
Terrific Windstorm Visits Norris
town, Mimi, and Eight Per-
sons Are Killed.

Faribault, Mimi, Sept. 25.-The VIII
lage of Morristown, - miles west of
here. was visited by cyclone shortly
after five o'clock Monday afternoon.
Besides destroying several buildings
eight persons were killed. The storm
came without warning from a south
westerly direction, passing over to the
northeast. The length of its path
in the village was less than half mile,
and owing to its peculiar action the
distress and damage resulting were not
as great as might have been. The
storm made jumps of one block, but
whenever ii came down everything was
crumbled by the power of the wind.
All the killed and injured in Norris
town We're in the saloon of Paul Gatzke,
having hurriedly taken refuge there
when the storm was seen on the out
skirts of the village. There were 16
in the structure at the time the storm
struck. The building was raised from
its foundation and crushed like an egg
shell. Before the building fell three
men managed to escape. but the others
are found in the lists of dead and in
jured
The killed are: Jake Miller. Jake
Weaver. Jr.; Frank Pitman. of Water
Vile; Otto Gatzke, John Rohrer, .Jr.;
Elmer Brooks. II. S. Wait. Frank Will
der. The injured are: Paul Gatzke,
Porter White, Lewis Pitman, Jr.
This is the third disaster that has
visited Morristown this year In
February the entire business district
was destroyed by fire, and among the
structures rebuilt was the saloon of
Gatzke. The village was visited by an
