swept across a portion of Chari-
ton county last Sunday afternoon
about 5 o'clock. The following
particulars were given US by j.
T. Robinson of near Westville,
who was in Keytesville Tuesday.
George Vaughan, who lives in
section thirty six, 3 1-2 miles
southwest of Westvills and two
miles northwest Of Mike, had his
barn blown down and his hip
dislocated. Chas. Hedrick 5
house and barn were demolished
and his out buildings razed to
the ground, but none Of the fam
lily was hurt, as they took refuge
in a cyclone cellar. Mrs. Lee
Hedrick had gone into the
smokehouse and was blown away
with it and considerably bruised,
but not seriously injured. H. c.
and Otis Phillips had 300 shocks
of corn, only four of which were
left standing, and the bal
ance was scattered over the
field, while their corn on the
stalk was laid flat. Chas. Akers
and George Green had their
shocked corn scattered about the
field, while that on the stalk was
made tangled mass. Edward
Green hap the foundation blown
from under his house, after
which the house dropped back in
the same spot, but several
shingles were blown from the
roof, out buildings were more or
less damaged, and corn blown
down. The house in which the
Widow Myers, aged about 81
wears, lived alone on Mrs. Arlie
Oldham's farm was torn into
atoms and Mrs Myres was killed
by the falling debris. Barnard
Lauhoff, wife and five children
of Indian Grove, who were on
their way home from Wien, stop
ped in at Mrs. Myers out of the
storm and it is a miracle how
they escaped alive. One of Mr..
Lauhoff's little girls sustained an
injury of the neck from being
caught beneath a rafter. Mr..
Lauhoff gave the alarm as quick
ly as he could after the storm
had subsidized sufficiently for him
to get about, first leaving his wife
and children at Mr..
Adds on Ed Green's farm,
where he had to break the door
in, there being no one at home.
He then summoned assistance in
the persons of Jas. and Lee He'd
rick and Ned Gordon, but when
they reached Mrs. Myers and
removed the timbers from her
PROSTATE body she was dead
The porch and number OF
shinelns-Were blown from the
old J. w. Coy house, tempo
rarily occupied by DR.. I. Knott.
Sr., since the latter's home was
burned. A part of DR.. Knott's
barn was torn away and corn
blown over. All of Isaac Hod-
dies rail fencing and a lot OF
hay and corn and some sheds
were laid low. A large limb
from tree was hurled through
the weather boarding on the
west side of Mr.. Hoddle's house
and considerable damage was
done to out buildings. j. w
Coy lost his barn. A shed room
was broken loose from Widow
Lakes house, and the dishes

BUILDING COLONIES.
Timely Advice for Beekeepers who
Are DESTROYS Of Obtaining .
Good Crop Of Honey.

We want to build all our colonies of
bees up strong. for those that are
strong In numbers are the only ones
we can count on to store good crop
Of surplus. One of the greatest draw
backs to successful bee keeping is that
there are SO many weak colonies on
hand at the beginning Of the honey
flow that it takes them through the
short honey harvest to become strong
enough to store honey. Each and
every hive should be overlooking with
bees at the beginning of the principal
honey harvest, for when they are thus
very populous they can be depended
upon to do good work, If the season is
good.
Too many colonies run short Of pro-
vision during spring when they are
building up, and the result is that they
are crippled in force, for they cannot
rear brood without plenty of food in
the hive or have daily access to flow
of honey. Feeding is the only meth
cd that will bring them up to standard
requirements, hence they should be
literally fed.
Weak colonies may be brought up
strong very rapidly by giving them
some brood from the stronger ones.
but we must exercise care in this or
we will cripple the strongest ones and
be no better of than before. Draw
only on extremely strong colonies to
strengthen weak ones. II we have col
onies that are in danger Of swarming
before the honey season is properly on,
we can draw from them and thus check
them from swarming.
1t is always in order to save frames
of honey over from one season to an
other for the purpose of supplying
the bees with honey in spring. This
is the most simple and easiest way Of
doing it, besides the most sure. Keep
of all surplus boxes during spring and
confine the bees to the brood cham
Der until near the approach of the
honey harvest.-A. II. Duff, in Farm
ers' Voice.

LITTLE OBTRUSIvE POVERTY.
Few Beggars Are Seen on the streets
of the Nations Capital City,
and the Reasons.

zone Of the many things which have
impressed me favorably with Washing
ton" said traveller, according to the
Washington Post, sis the almost utter
absence from the streets of the cap
ital of those distressing instances of
poverty and beggary one sees on the
streets of New York, London and other
great, centers of population.
"There are scores of these SILVER
ing, lily clad, lily fed human wrecks to
be seen in Is minutes walk in New
York, more than one sees in Washing
ton in a week. In fact, the human suf-
fering witnessed upon the streets of
the metropolis, brushing against your
elbow on the pavements and elsewhere,
appeals SO strongly to the sympathet-
ic emotions that were these emotions
to be yielded to sensitive persons
would be decidedly unhappy. One be-
comes accustomed to it, no doubt, by
contact, but this does not alter TIE
conditions as they exist. Why is 1t SO
in Washington?" he asked resident
who was showing him the sights.
There are two main reasons" was
the answer. "The first is because the
poor of the city are generally en-
ployed, and because drunkenness does
not prevail here in proportionate ex-
tent as in New York. The conditions
of life in the capital are also easier.
We do not have the tenement here.
The rigors of winter, so productive
of suffering, are less severe. Almost
any man who wishes work and is will
ing to work may find it, certainly at
wages that will keep him off the
streets.
"The second reason is that the po-
lice do not permit begging on the
streets. Our citizens each winter do
nate large sums for the poor, which
are distributed in channels where they
do real good. Mendicancy is not en-
couraged by responding to appeals on
the street, but individual assistance is
readily and cheerfully given. We have
solved this great problem more salts
factorily in Washington than in New
York, that's ALL"

BRAN IS EXCELLENT.
Poultry Thrive ON 1t Because II Con-
tains . Generous Proportion
of Rich Lime.

Bran is excellent for poultry, and
one point in favor of bran is that
it contains a much larger proper
ton of lime than any other cheap
food derived from grain, and as the
shells of eggs are composed Of lime
it is essential that food rich in lime
be provided. 1t may be urged that
the use of oyster shells will pro-
vide lime, but it will be found that
it Is the lime in the food that il
most serviceable, because Il is in a
form that can be better digested and
assimilated than carbonate of lime,
says the American Fancier.
Clover is also rich in lime; and
when mess of cut clover and bran
is given the fowls they will need no
oyster shells or other mineral mat
ter as source from which to draw
the supply Of lime for the eggs. Do
not forget that in summer, however,
the use of all kinds of foods should
be used with judgment. If the hens
have free range give no food at all
as long as they are laying, but IL
they begin to fall of, let bran be the
leading ingredient of the food al
lowed. In winter the bran and clover
are even more essential, as the fowls
cannot then secure green food on the
range.

their respective hives. Each alter
nate entrance notice is painted
darker color for the purpose of help
ing the bees to mark their hive.
The bee house was built in March.
About the middle of April, when the
weather was favorable to open hives,
! took the long Ideal hives into my
home apiary and transferred the
bees and combs from the chaff hives
into them. 1t was only necessary to
take three frames at a time and lift
them from one into the other. To-
ward evening, when the bees stopped
flying 1 closed the entrances with
wire netting, loaded them on q wagon
and drove to the bee house and they
were soon arranged in position. The
next day, which was pleasant, the bees
came out in great numbers and evil
IDENTIFY became somewhat confused as
to which were their right hives and
three hives were deserted, the bees
having Joined some of the others. But
II built up nicely and in May divided
three Of the stronge ones and made
full complement of 20. In the latter
part of May 1 removed the division
board and filed the hives with frames
of comb foundation.
There was not a swarm to issue
which was as had hoped. The bees
are always comfortable, being shaded
from the hot sun, and they seem to
have sufficient room on 20 frames in
one body. 1t is very comfortable for
the operator too. / took from this
house in September $50 pounds of very
nice honey which brought SOL. The
yield in my home yard was much be-
low the average, SO that the year can
be classed very poor honey year. AS
there are enough surplus combs built
/ expect an average crop of 1000
pounds year from this house. No
further expense is necessary, only
carriage in bringing home the honey
visited the house during summer only
once every week or so.-F. c. Herman,
In American Agriculturist.

Those who stick to the old method
of setting hens, and there are many
thousands who do, have learned val
liable lessons from the incubator,
says an exchange. First: They have
learned to choose eggs Of uniform
size and of perfect shape, with sound
shells. Az incubator chickens do not
have lice, they have learned, second
ly, to dust thoroughly their hens be-
fore setting, and two or three times
during the period of incubation.
Thirdly: They have learned to use
clean nest boxes and clean bedding.
They confine the hens to coops and
take great pains to place proper food
and water before them. Fourthly:
Many test the eggs under hens, fol-
lowing the example of the machine
men, and after testing three sittings,
for example, and throwing out the
infertile eggs, place the live eggs un-
der the two hens and reset the third,
thus gaining time and compelling
"Biddy" TO do her full share Of the
work.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

London school board children used
over 100000 exercise and copy books
last year.
The University of Paris has 245
professors, 76 of whom belong to the
medical faculty, while SO teach lit
erary branches, 40 natural science,
etc.
The state of Kansas employs at
present 11,02s public school teachers,
the average age of whom is but 81
years. In the three counties of Logan,
Rock and Shawnee the ACREAGE age
of the teachers is only 10 years.
In Patrick and Henry counties OF
Virginia, and in some other sections
of the state, there is large class Of
negro church people known as Iron
side Baptists. The name is suggestive
of the temper and character of the
people.
Courses of instruction for children
who stutter have been started in va
rious German schools. In Berlin six
specialists, engaged by the munich
pal board of education, devote IL
hours week to this work. One and
one-half per cent. of the children at
tending German schools stutter.

sion of faith into the Collegiate Re-
formed Dutch church at Forty-eighth

torate there.
The University of Athens is very
old. It is conducted on the German
plan, most of the professors are grad
yates of German universities, and the
German language is heard about the
building more frequently than any
other except Greek. The institution
has large amount of property, and
several of the chairs have been hand
somely endowed by private individ-
uals.
Prof. Charles F. Kent, who teaches
biblical literature at Yale, thinks
that moderate" hazing is good
thing. In discussing the story of Jo-
seph the other day he told one OF his
classes that the owner of the coat
of many colors was rather fresh
young person and that the haaing
which his brothers gave him was
needed to bring out what was strong
and good in him.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Bran is excellent for poultry. It
contains a large amount of lime,
which will help In the formation of
shell.
Even II supplied with grain the
fowls need more heterogeneous food
in addition, as eggs cannot be de-
rived from food that Is lacking in
the elements required for their pro-
duction.
Prepare to get those pullets that
are to lay next winter on the way.
It is the early Matched pullet that
furnishes winter eggs and the early
Matched cockerel that wins at the
shows or sells highest in the mar
ket, according to the use to which
he is put.

IMPURE BAKING POWDER
SEIZED.
The New York Board Of Health Find
Il Contains Alum and Rock,
Declare IL Dangerous to
Health and Dump IL ln-
20 the River.

The New York papers report that
the Health Department Of that city
has seized as dangerous to health
nearly two tons Of cheap mixtures sold
for baking powder, and dumped them
into the offal scow to be destroyed.
More of the powder was found in o
Sixth ave. department store. The
report Of the analysis of the Health
Department stated that it was IAN
alum baking powder" containing alum
and pulverized rock.
The different Health Authorities
seem to have different ways of repress-
ing the sale of bad baking powders.
In England they have prosecuted the
grocers under the general law and
broken up the traffic. In Missouri the
sale Of alum baking powder is actually
prohibited by law. In New York they
seize the unwholesome stuff and cast
1t into the river, without any discus
sion. The latter way is certainly ef-
fective.
The alum baking powders are usual
ly offered at low price, ten to twenty
cents a pound, or with some prize, as
q temptation to the housewife.
Consumers can protect themselves
by buying only high-grade baking pow
der of established name and reputa-
tion. Do not be tempted by the grocer
to take something else as "just as
good" or "our own brand" for the
trials show that the grocer himself is
often deceived by INSCRIPTIONS max
ers and is selling an alum powder with
out knowing it.
There are several good powders on
the market; let the housekeeper insist
on having what she knows is right, and
not be induced to risk the life of the
family for an imaginary saving Of a

various papers of the wonderful results OBJ
tanned from using that famous remedy st.
Jacobs Oil, and from the fact that it is q
remedy for outward application only, led
US to make trials of it in our own family.
One, q case of lumbago of long standing
which had previously resisted every form
OF treatment, was permanently cured by
few applications of the Oil. Another was .
sprained ankle, with severe pain. This
cured in few days by the use OF st. Jacobs
Oil, while for severe toothache and neuralgia
it acted almost like magic, 80 quickly did the
pain depart after the Oil was applied. Our
own experience in using the Oil, as above
indicated, was 30 highly satisfactory that
we determined in the interest of the gen.
eral' public to make thorough local inves-
tigation among dealers and others who have
sold and used st. Jacobs Oil. Recognizing
Messrs. Taylor and CO. as headquarters for
all proprietary medicines, we called at their
Briggate Store, and on making known the
object of our visit to the general Manager,
he stated that their three stores in Leeds
were selling more than thousand bottles
of st. Jacobs Oil every week, and the trade
was constantly increasing-that it was the
most popular remedy sold and was highly
spoken of by everyone who used it. The
Manager said he had heard hundreds OF
