Veritable Chapter OF Horrors.
Charles Cory, assistant manager, re-
ports: I'VE have had n veritable chap
ter of horrors since last night, Thurs
day. in AIarshfield. About 3 o'clock
Yesterday afternoon. when the wealth
er was the hottest | ever experienced,
il began 10 cloud up; and within a half
hour there came a deluge of Iain and
wind, which threatened to wash us
Off the lot. We came within an ace OF
being blown down, and il looked 50
bad at night that we gave n quick
show. Everything was over by $50
o'clock. 1t continued to grow worse.
Just after Wa left the town the place
WAS struck by tornado.
Tornado Wa. on Their Trail.
The tornado followed us. plowing
a furrow of destruction for twenty
miles, when it crossed the track Il
quarter of Il mile behind us. and went
south. In its chase after us we found
friend in our engineer. He saw it
coming, and by throwing his engine
wide open he managed to keep us out
of danger. He crouched down in his
cab and watched both ways. behind
for the tornado and ahead for danger
signals. We must have been going ut
the rate of seventy-five miles an hour.

Elephants as Electrical Conductors.
when we reached Eau Claire. Fri !
day, the town was flooded. and it was
$50 before we got the tent up. About !
that time bolt of lightning struck |
in from the side. 1t seems that the |
shock must have passed through every
one of the elephants. and the German |
elephant being the last in the line. |
seemed to get the full force OF the |
stroke. Every elephant of the herd |
fell fiat. and for awhile i; looked as if |
all of them were dead. The bicycle !
didn't live five minutes, but |
the others continued to breathe, and !
we got spirits of inter. ammonia and |
whisky into them; they soon got up |
again.
Lightning Does Some Tooth Pulling.
Gypsy seems to he the worst hurt.
The lightning knocked half of one her
teeth out. The shock knocked Fred |
Wanger and Jeff Posey fiat. Park
hurst. the animal man, had his ele-
Dhant hook in his hand, and his hand
was painfully burned. Others were
shocked and two boys who were sit
ing upon a bale of hay had their
packs blistered by lightning"

Enters Churches and Scares

City Of Mexico, July 3.-The public
mind is much excited, and the clergy
| are filled with indignation over the re-

| onstration Monday. The students, to
the number of 800, held Il public meet
ing near the statue of Columbus on FL
Pazo and Shive driveway Stirring
speeches were made showing the in
| tense feeling Of the young men, and
denouncing the recent immOralities of
a few priests, who. it was claimed,
have been shielded and not punished.
a charge was made that eX-Archbishop
l.abastida was ii traitor TO his country
while the present Archbishop A1arief
showed no disposition TO punish rec
reant priests with that measure of Sc
verify demanded by the nature of
their offenseS. \ company of mounted
gen darmeS preserved order. and the
demonstration was witnessed by Gov
ernor Coral, of the federal district, and
by Chief OF Police NillegaS.
Mob Next Invades "A Church.
The students. accompanied by
great number of people from the lower
classes, marched up Sau Francisco
street, and on the way the police ar
rested three men for insulting women
while going to mass. BY this time the
crowd numbered fully 5000 people
and made Its way toward the church
of Santo Domingo. where the DOmini-
can fathers officiate Part of the
crowd entered during mass. when the
church was filled with worShiperS.
mostly ladies. Shouts were raised of
death to the priests Down with
the clergyr' and the priests left the al
tar and sought refuge in the sacristy
with many of the worshiperS. Women
cried and shrieked, but the disturbance
went no further.
No Moderation In a Mob.
Another part of the crowd entered
the church of Santa Cariia. arriving
during II o'clock mass. Windows were
broken and images hurled down. The
priests were dispersed and the stu
dents made speeches denOuncing the
clergy. There We're heard shouts for
Father Icaza. who IS accused of many
miSdeedS. The women present Were
terrified. and the police made several
arrests. but many of the prisoners were
efterward released. The leaders
among the students had counseled
moderation and against making a dis
turbance. but the mob was apparently
bent on showing its feeling toward the
clergy. In the afternoon people as
sembled for prayer in the cathedral
and other churches and yesterday the
Roman Catholic people were offering
prayer for the enemies of religion.
Disorder Not Unlikely To He Resumed
Precautions have been taken to pre-
vent further trouble. but il Is believed
that if several priests who are publicly
in the press are not pun

attempt to invade the temples. Pub |

DEAL FOR A CLEARANCE CARD"
Which Cost S3, 500. So 1t Is Reported,
AN Illinois Man Getting the
Sweetness.

Indianapolis, July 3.-At the special
meeting of the supreme lodge, Knights
of Pythias. in Chicago next week, it
il understood that Il report will be
made exposing persons alleged TO have
been implicated in a deal by which 4
former Illinois insurance commissions
or received from Il manager of the X.
of l.. endowment rank $500 for Il
clearance card" and letter of recon-
mendation for the rank. Union B.
Hunt. secretary of state, who is IA su-
preme representative in the order. will
attend the meeting of the supreme
lodge. and will favor an investigation
and Indictment of the offenders if there
is evidence to warrant such action.
The story is that $500 bought re-
port showing that an investigation had
been made and that the endowment
ranks affairs had been found satisfac-
tory.
Investigation Disclosed the Story.
Later the Illinois and Connecticut in
surlnce authorities began an inVeSti-
cation of the rank. Ihis is not yet
finished. G. +. :. Neal, of Lebanon,
manager of the endowment rank, sane
toned the present investigation, and
has been assisting in carrying il
through. The commissioners making
it unearthed the $3.J0O story. Hunt
does not know who were duplicated in
the transaction, but says Neal is not
mixed up in il I'm any way. except to
give ii thorough investigation. The
latter is reported to have made affi-
davit in Chicago last Saturday touch
ing the alleged payment. and the affi-
davit is said to he in the hands OF the
Illinois insurance department.
What Neal Says AbOut IL
Neal did not appear surprised when
he was otld the rumorS. He declined
to answer questions. except TO say:
well, the accounts and records fail
to show that the order has paid any
money to n commissioner, but then,
You know such things are not gener
ally done so that they may be found
out If the persons concerned can help
it, l won't say a deal was not made
and hidden in some way. and that it
was discovered by Commissioner Yates
last week. That may be possible. 1
don't know what the report will he.
All I will say is that / know nothing
of the matter. and that never entered
into any deal with Commissioners
Yates nor his assistants. Nor did /
ever meet former Commissioner Van

PLEASED WITH OAxAcA.
Former Texas Ranchman InventS
In Mining Property

The Mexican Herald of recent
date has the following concerning
gentleman who is we'll known
here, having lived formerly at
Corpus Christi;
81. w. DnrSt, who came to this
country several months ago from
Texas, for the purpose of investi-
eating the mining business of
Mexico, returned Thursday from
Oaxaca where he has iveSted ex-
tensively in the properties of that
popular mining district. Mr. burst
was Il ranchman OF Texas and sold
his interests there, transferring all
his attention to Mexico.
He says that the famous Nativ-
idad Mining company has struck
another bonanza. This company
has been unusually successful and
pays immense dividends. 1t has
already struck two rich veins of
gold and silver aud the latest dis
covery, which was made several
days ago, promises to be fully as
productive as the former ones have
been.
"Stock of the company which
was one time worth scarcely moth
ing, and which was sold in the
beinning for $4,000, is now held
at $500, paying $500 per month to
every 500 which was originally
invested. The company, which
has recently doubled its milling
capacity, expects in the near future
to erect new tenstamp mill.
"Mr. burst is very enthusiastic
ever the Oaxaca mines and says
that it will be second Cripple
Greek country in the near future. "

High Pressure Days.

Men and women alike have to
work necessarily with brain and
hand TO hold their own nowadays:
Never were the demands of bust
ness, the wants of the family, the
requirements of society, more
numerous. The first effect of the
praiSewOrthy effort to keep up with
all these things is commonly seen
in weakened or debiited cOndi-
tiOn 0f the nervous system, which
results in dyspepsia, defective GU
trition'of both body and brain, and
in extreme cases IN complete ner-
vouS pgostratiou. 1t is clearly
seen flat what is needed is Yhat
will sustain the system, give tigOr
and tone to the nerves, and keep
the digestive and aSSimilative func-
tiOns healthy and active. From
personal knowledge, We can re-
commend Hoods Sarsaparrilla for
this purpose 1t acts ON all the
vital organs, builds mp he whole
system, and fits men and women
