NORTH DAKOTA TORNADO.
Much Damage Done by Hail and Wind
at jamestown.

Much Damage Done by Hail and Wind
at jamestown.
Jamestown, N. d., June 25.-The
most destructive hail storm that has
ever visited Jamestown and Stuts-
man county began at 4:30 a. m. Plate
and common glass windows were shat
tered, holes knocked through roofs,
branches stripped from trees and
damage amounting to $4,000 done.
The principal damage was done on
the side of Fifth avenue facing west,
where hail stones of unusually large
size struck plate glass and other
windows with great force and shat
tered them. Heavy rain accompanied
the hail and was blown through the
holes made by the hail and caused
great deal of loss by flooding.
A tornado prevailed in some por-
tions of Stutsman county and nearly
dozen buildings are reported de-
stroyed and some stock killed.
On the James river branch of the
Northern Pacific number Of cars
were blown off the track and badly
twisted. The storm was scattering
and the injury to crops was light,
when its fury is considered.

United States Senate.


Columbus, O., June 25.-The Repub-
lican state convention convened here
ditorium was crowded when Senators
Foraker and Hanna came upon the
stage together. They were warmly
greeted. Among those occupying seats
upon the stage were Mr.. Jose G. Bar
bosa and DR.. Jose Gomez Brioso, merl-
bers of the executive council of Porto
Rico, who are on tour of govern
mental inspection.
After prayer by Rev. N. w. Good
of Columbus, P. w. Durr, chairman
of the state central committee, in
brief speech congratulated the Re-
publicans of Ohio on the result of the
Ohio campaign last year and predict
ed victory for this year. Then he in
troduced Senator Foraker as the tenn
porary chairman of the convention.

quently interrupted by applause.
The convention adopted rules sub
mitted by Congressman Dick ana
then the vice presidents. assistant
secretaries and members of the vari-
Gus committees from the 21 congress
sional districts were announced and
the convention adjourned until morn
ig.
The committee on permanent or
ganization has selected Senator Han
ma for permanent chairman of the con-
vention. Senator Hanna will address
the convention on taking the chair.
Want Foraker Reelected.
The committee on resolutions has
concluded it's work. General Charles
H. Grcsvenor was chairman of the
committee. The platform is under
stood to reaffirm the Philadelphia dec
laratiCns, endorse the administrations
of President Mckinley and Governor
Nash and commend the records of
Senators Foraker and Hanna with the
specific recommendation of the for
mer for reelection. The Hanna mer-
chant marine bill is endorsed and the
Democrats are asked to make prize
fighting an issue on Governor Nash.
Lieutenant Governor Caldwell
caused quite a stir by announcing that
he would not be a candidate for re-
nomination.
When the delegates met before the
convention by congressional districts
the Hanna faction swept everything
in the 21 districts. In the Thirteenth
district, Charles Foster, ex-secretary
of the treasury, ex-governor, eX-con-
gressman and for many years a dele
gate-at-large to national conventions,
was defeated for member of the state
central committee because of his op-
position to Senator Hanna. Ex-Gov-
ernor Bushnell had been elected as a
delegate and had been made chairman
of the Clark county delegation, but
at the meeting Of the delegates of his
district it was informally announced
that he would not attend the conven-
ton. His friends gave some very
pointed reasons for his absence.

CHINESE TARIFF.
The British Minister Only Objects to
an Increase.

London, June 25.-A dispatch to The
Times from Peking, dated June "a
says that all the ministers of the for.
eign powers at Peking, with the eX.
ception Of Sir Ernest Satow, the Brit
ish minister, have agreed to the Rus
sian proposal to increase the Chinese
tariff on imports to 10 per cent in the
event of a deficiency in the service
of the indemnity. Sir Ernest Satow
declares that Great Britain will only
agree to such an increase in duty in
return for the total abolition of the
likin tax on internal commerce and
other concessions
The correspondent of The Times
points out that the indemnity demand
ed by the powers from China does
not represent the real amount of the
money penalty inflicted on China, as
no allowance has been made for the
rich hauls of the treasure in Manchu-
rian cities and the contents of the
Tien Tsin arsenals secured by Rus
sia, and the large sums which Ger
many has secured by systematic raid
ing Of Chi Ii a1d other provinces.

How They Mourn in Korea.

In Korea mourning is very lengthy
matter. When parent dies the mourn.
ing lasts for three years or more, and
for other relatives the period is shoter,
but never short. AS during a period OF
mourning marriage is not allowable, it
is easily seen that goodly number
of deaths in the families of each of the
betrothed pair may delay their mar
riage far beyond the limits of human
patience, as we understand it, though
western people have no conception of
the patience Of some Orientals. In
Korea it is not unusual for wedding
to be delayed ten years on account Of
mourning, and betrothed couples have
been kept waiting for upward of
thirty years.

FIRST SLAVE SET FREE.
An Interesting Incident of the Civil
War.

War.
1t is stated as an undiSputed fact
that Colonel Charles P. Lincoln of
Washington was the first man to set
a slave free after the breaking out
of the late civil war Referring to the
incident, Colonel Lincoln, in a recent
conversation with a Washington Star
reporter, said:
1T is a matter of history that the
first Michigan regiment of infantry
(three months mem under command
of Colonel (afterWard generaD Orlan-
do B. Wilcox, who still later was gov.
ernor of the soldiers home in this
city, was the first regiment to cross
the Potomac on the Long bridge at the
beginning of the war of the rebellion
This was the night of the 23d of May,
1851, the command reaching Alexan-
dria about daylight the morning of the
oath. The New York Fire zouaves,
underc ommand of Colonel Ellsworth,
reached Alexandria by steamer from
Washington at the same hour.
Company G of the first Michigan
regiment was from Coldwater 1t was
commanded by Captain Ebenezer But
terworth. who was wounded and made
prisoner at the first battle of Bull Run
and died while a prisoner at Char
lottesville, Va. | was then lad IS
years of age and was the orderly ser
geant Of the company.
AS the regiment filed into Fairfax
street what subsequently proved to be
Ellsworth's troops were seen to our
left and were supposed to- be the
enemy, and company G was called up
on to deploy as skirmishers upon cen
ter to right and left. AS orderly ser.
geant I was at the extreme right of
the company, and as we were deploy-
ing double quick to the right along
Fairfax street we saw some forty
rebel soldiers rush out of a large
building a short distance down the
street and attempt to mount their
horses, with the view of escaping.
"At this moment two pieces of Rick.
etts' battery came by, their horses
under whip and spur, and, Immediately
at our right, numbered, and prepared
to fire upon the enemy. The battery

and handed his sword to Colonel
Wilcox, and the enemy was ours

to be a commodious structure, with

much the way that the earth's year is.
by change of seasons, only of neces-
sity they are much longer seasons on
Mars, where, as we have seen, either
summer or winter alone may last for
181 days The seasons there, as here
are occasioned by the tilt of the plan
cts axis, which is inclined to the clip
ic at an angle of % degrees, while ours
is 90 degrees and "a minutes. The
result of this inclination is seen dis
tinctly in the whitening of the two
poles at the time of their respective
winters, indicating the accumulation
of ice and snow, which in turn is man
ifestly melting away with the return
of spring and forming watery expansea
which in time disappear.
Percival Lowell, who did such eel
ebrated work upon Mars at the time
of the 1894 opposition, at his obser
vatory, located for the purpose amid
the clear atmosphere of Flagstaff, Ar
iona, believes that Mars is inhabited
and that great scarcity of water
makes the people dependent upon the
annual melting of the polar caps for
their supply He thinks that what
have ordinarily been called seas"
upon that planet are not seas at all,
though once they may have been.
Certain tests fail to prove them to
be water he regards them as old
ocean beds, now occupied by growing
vegetation, out destined, as water falls
more and more, to become as bare and
lifeless as what were once regarded as
seas on the moon.
It accords with this theory that the
surface of Mars is all cut up with what
are believed to be canals, some of
which go in pairs rather than singly.
These are seen passing with almost
mathematical directness across tho
country, here and there crossing onS
another, and radiating from certain
centers which are called GASES. whose
average diameter is about 100 miles.
Lowell and others believe that these
canals have been well constructed as
a vast sytem of irrigation, to carry
what little water exists and thus pro,
mote vegetation, the result Of which is
particularly evident at the GASES. The
surprising regularity of this work
seems to call for intelligence rather
than chance, and though it does not
prove, makes strongly probable, the
existence once, if not now, Of a race
of beings living upon Mars, whom we
may call men if we choose, though
in world in many respects so differ
ent from our own we should doubtless
find them very different from our
selves.
Except for Mars there is little of
special interest in the month of Febru-
airy this year. Venus will now rise
only an hour before the sun, and has,
therefore, nearly disappeared from the
morning sky on her way TO that of
evening. Jupiter, which is soon to
pass Saturn, has already so gained
upon that planet that at the middle
of the month Jupiter will rise only
about ten minutes before Saturn, both
about quarter before 5, and there
fore visible in the early morning. The
moon will present beautiful picture
in conjunction with the both the morn
i,g of the 18th.

SAYS HE is CHARLEY ROSS.
Stranger Askc Police to Investigate
His Personal History.

tbs FerSOnal F7lSrOFy
Eugene |. Gowell, who says he is
the famous Charley Ross, walked into
the Chicago detective headquarters
and requested the police to look up his
family tree. Gowell, who has been
travelling about the country and is
now living IN Chicago at " Sangamon
street, says he has dim recollections
of living in different and more com
Portable surroundings in house by
the side of little brook.
AS to the circumstances surround
ing his birth of the kidnapping cpl
sode GoWell knows nothing, but ac-
counts for this by explaining that he
was drugged at the time, and the drug
had left his mind a blank Twenty
four years ago, he says, he lived with
a Mrs. Clara Robbins in Los Angeles,
who, he was led to believe, was his
mother. She married a William, or
John, Gowell, he says, and they are
now living in Los Angeles The man
said he had been informed by broth
er Clarence that was the adopted son
of Mrs. Gowell. Some years ago he
left the GoWell home in Los Angeles
and since then he says he has
travelled about the country. Recent
ly, he said, he made known his claims
at Logansport, Ind, and was placed in
an insane asylum. Since then he has
hesitaCed in relating circumstances.
Charles Ross, the son of wealthy
and wellto-do resident of Philadel-
phia, was kidnapped from his home
twenty-six years ago. The boys
father received note demanding $780,
600 ransom for the return of his son.
Acting on the advice of the police. the
father refused to pay the money. He
died some years ago having expended
fortune in a useless search. The
police are not inclined to take
GowelIs claims seriously.
Early last month Senator Plunkett
of New York announced he had re
ceived information which effec tually
set at rest all doubt as to young Ross
fate. The senator declared the boy
had been drowned by his captors.

PRETTY LEGEND.
How the Rabbit Came to Be the
Special Genius of Easter.

There is a curious and very sweet
little legend cherished by German
children concerning the Easter rab-
bit. Once upon a time, they tell us,
nice, kind rabbit, who was walking
along quiet woodland road, came
across fine, large nest filed with
eggs, The poor mother-hen had been
seized by wicked fox and could not
go back to her darling nest, so this
kind rabbit slept all night upon it,
and when he woke in the morning Git
was Easter morning. TIE nest was full
OF little, downy, yellow CHECKERS The
chickens thought the rabbit was their
mamma, so they cried out for some
thing to eat, and the rabbit ran about
and fetched food for them, and kept
them warm and fed until they were
all old enough to take care of them
selves. Ever since then the rabbit
has been the special genius Of Easter
time, and this holiday is not complete
for German little folk without an
"oster Hase's nest" 1t holds many a
favor and present serving the same
purpose that Christmas stockings
and wooden shoes do at Christmas
