Judges.

Charlton, May 2.-(SpeciaD-A
ney w. B. Barger and Col. A. o. Bar
tholomew of this city, are candidates
for the nomaoetion of judges in the
second judicial district. Both are OPP
emily making struggle for the place
and base their claims largely upon the
fact that the west end' of the dis
trict has not had judge for over f1f-
teen years, or since Judge Dell Stew
art was "legislated" out of office by
the change from circuit to district
judges. Both men are strong in this
county and the fight promises to be
carried on with much vigor. They
will submit their claims to the pri-
mary convention which will be held
in Lucas county, June s, few days
before the convention III Ottumwa.

A TERRIBLE CYCLONE
CUTS A PATH THROUGH THE
COUNTY TWO HUNDRED
FEET WIDE.

Hlteman, May 2.-(SpeciaD-A tor
nado at $3.50 o'clock last evening
swept path 200 feet wide one mile
west of this city, destroyed number
of farm houses, killed herds of stock,
tore up trees by the roots, leveled
fences and demolished outbuildings
and telephone wires. The strange
thing about it is that no one was kill
ed and but one person was hurt. Hun
dreds of people in this city saw the
funnelshaped cloud in the center of
the maelstrom and heard that almost
Undesirable roar which accompanies
such terrifying outbursts of nature.
The residences of five farmers, so
far as heard from, were destroyed, fire
in one instance adding terror to the
scene. The wind, it is stated, plough
ed through one drove of stock and
killed the major portion. Much other
damage has certainly been done, but
owing to the fact that a majority of
the wires are down it will not be
known for at least a day the full extent
of the storms fury.
Houses Demolished.
The farmers whose property was de-
stroyed by the storm are:
William Grail. Dwelling house torn
to pieces. He resides one and one
half miles from the city. Pieces of
the house were found half mile
away. A little daughter of Mr.. Cralls
was hit by flying brick and was I'M
conscious for three hours. She will
recover. Mr.. Grail also lost some
stock killed by falling missiles.
William Hurley. Dwelling gone. He
lived mile south of this city.
Peter Rooney. Dwelling swept
away.
Michael Grady. House and outbuild-
ings destroyed. Mr. Rooney resided
five miles south of Hiteman.
Mart Reynolds. House blown down
and remnants destroyed by fire.
Robert Stewart. Residence blown
from foundation.
Forty acres of timber belonging to
the Catholic. church leveled.
Charles Jones. Outbuildings demol-
ished. :
The Storm.
At 6 o'clock last evening while the
people of the city were eating supper
a terrific rainstorm began. In short
time it began to lail and at $50
o'clock a deep roar was heard which
portends the approach of a cyclone
The entire population on the western
edge of Hiteman saw the funnel-shap-
ed cloud cutting a patch 200 feet in
width through the country from the
southwest, moving in a northeasterly
direction. 1t was lost in the distance
| in an incredibly short space Of time,
leaving destruction in it's wake. ~
Full Extent Not Known. 81
Today's reports indicate that great
amount Of damage was done but the
full extent will not be known until
farmers from the outlying districts be-
| gin to come to town.
Kills Cattle.
| 1t is stated that the wind swept
through a herd of cattle and killed IL
majority of them. The report coul,,
not be verified. Neither could the
owners name be learned.
Trees Uprooted.
Large trees were uprooted and al
most every other thing in the path Of
the storm was destroyed. 1t was a
genuine ''twister," the worst this sec
ton has ever experienced.

Morgan Going Too Far.

Morgan Going Too Far.
ut is just so in the realm of com.
merce. l do not wonder that man
like Mr.. Morgan, with a few associates,
desires to control all the transporta-
ton facilities of the United States, as
well as the seas that wash the shores
of the republic. Nor do wonder that
some other man, with a few associates,
desires to control the manufacture and
sale of the products or iron and steel.
The American people, however, will
no more submit to commercial despot.
ism than they would to governmental
despotism, and the tendency in the
one case can be, and will be, as easily
thwarted as the tendency in the other.
All this can be done and will be done,
without harm to the sound, healthy
body of American industry, and it will
not halt for a single moment in its
swift march toward victories more
splendid than have hitherto crowned
it's efforts.
'Many remedies have bene propos-
ed, and it is, hope, with proper humil-
ity that I suggest first, that no corpora
ton, whether industrial or otherwise,
should be permitted to issue stock un.
less paid for in money at its par value.
If in recent years such law had been
in existence and enforced I believe
that many of the combinations which
have excited alarm would not have
been made.
Prices Can Be Regulated.
Second, believe that some branch
of the government must be vested with
the power to fix the prices Of products
or service upon which monopoly or
substantially monopoly has been
established. This may sound startling
but when you reflect that competition
and law are the two and the only two
forces that can be invoked to regulate
such subjects, it must be apparent that
when bold and enterprising men have
overcome one force they must be met
with the other.
