TERRIBLE STORM AT JOPLIN.


Fierce Wind swept Upon City With
out Warning-Three Killed, Sew
eraI Fatally Injured and 100000
Worth of Property Destroyed.
Joplin, Mo-, April 25.-Joplin was Wis
tied to-day by the most destructive
storm in its history. during which three
persons We're killed outright. six fatal
ly injured. a score or more seriously
hurt, and 100000 worth of property was
destroyed.
The fury of the storm broke loose at
4:30 o'clock this afternoon. There was
no premonition of its terrible violence.
There was an utter absence of the usual
funnel-shaped cloud. and the clouds
looked no more threatening than those
which produce the ordinary thunder
shower The wind was a straight gale,
but it was of terrible velocity, whipping
down scores of houses in the south part
of the city and reducing to kind
ling wood 100000 worth of the finest
mining plants in this district. The
worst havoc in Joplin City was in a
territory four blocks wide. commencing
at the west limits of the city at Sey-
enteenth street and sending at Sew
enth street on the east. Within this
narrow belt the destruction done is
visible on every hand. Most of the
houses are not completely razed,. but
there is scarcely a building which is
not damaged Only one was killed
here, but some persons had miraculous
escapes.
Passing east from the main portion
of the city the storm spent it's fury
on the Suburban districts, known as
Moonshine Hill and Villa Heights.
Three people were killed at Moonshine
Hill News of the terrible destruction
there did not reach the city until late
tonight and fun information will not
be available until morning. The hill
is now a tangled mass of debris and
not house is left standing.

PRAISE FOR CHARLESTON.
dent Roosevelt anil Tells Him
What the People Say There.

"hht the GeOpie say There.
Washington, April 25.-The President
to-day received a delegation consisting
of members of the Merchants Associa-
ton of New York, the Chamber of
Commerce and the Cotton Exchange
accompanied by ladies. The delegation
is on it's way home from a visit to the
Charleston Exposition and numbered
about forty. William F. King, chair
man of the delegation from the Mer-
chants Association, addressed the
President, saying, among other things:
During our stay in Charleston we
were deeply touched by the many cor
dial and feeling expressions with re-
gard to yourself, aroused by your visit
to the Exposition. At banquet which
we attended every one who spoke,
spoke most feelingly of you.
I'm addressing the company assem-
bled / told them that it~rested with
themselves to take leading part in
the world of to-day; that we would
help them all we could in the North;
they have made a wonderful start in
the last few years. There is no reason
why Manchester should not come to
America. / believe their exposition is
a new day for the South. If they con-
tinue actively at work their section will
become one of the most prosperous
parts of the country. What they need
now to draw on is their labor. skill
and brains"
The President responded as follows:
mir. King, Ladies and Gentlemen:
appreciate very much your visit to me,
and l am glad you were down at
Charleston. l was deeply touched by
the reception / met there-a reception
not personal to me, but given to me
as representing the nation to which all
of US belong and all the parts of
which ~,1d the success of any part of
which are matters of pride for every
one of us, everywhere. feel I'm the
strongest way that nothing can be
more important than the building up
of the great Industrial interests of the
South through just such organ
izations as you represent here
to-day thank you for
calling upon me. You represent bodies
Of the kind that have made New York's
greatness what it is. AS regards what
Mr.. King said concerning the express
sions used by the people Of Charleston
about me, l can only say that I am
going ~ do my best to deserve them
and TO deserve your good Will; and
to do all that can, all that in me lies
to help in keeping up the wonderful
prosperity, material and moral, OF our
country" (Applause).

The great problem is the rural school;
the great difficulty is the sparseness
of the rural populations in the South.
Mr.. Smith referred to the address of
Gov. Aycock and said he wished that
all politicians were as manly and pure
as the Governor of North Carolina.
The speaker declared every man, be-
fore he voted for candidate for pub
lie Office, should ascertain how that
man stood on the school question. He
said the South needed more and bet
ter schools. He believed the teachers
in the country schools were as efficient
as they were paid to be. When teach
ers were paid enough and assured a

The south and the Negro.
Reviewing the great amount of money
which the South had contributed to
the cause of negro education, Mr..
Smith said he spoke of this offering
not as a subject for which the people
of the South deserved praise, but as
showing their intelligence and justice.
Would we be so foolish he said.

GEN. SMITHS TRIAL BEGINS.

His Counsel Admits That Instruc-
lions Were Given to XIII and
Burn and Make Wilderness of
Samar.
Manila, April 25.-The trial by court
martial of Gen. Jacob H. Smith on
the charge of conduct prejudicial to
good order and discipline began to-
day. Gen. Lloyd Wheaton presided.
Col. Charles A. Woodruff, counsel for
the defense, said he desired to simplify
the proceedings. He was willing to
admit Gen. Smith gave instructions to
Maj. Waller to kill and burn and
make Samar a bowling wilderness,
that he wanted everybody killed ca
pable of bearing arms, and that he did
specify all over ten years of age, as
the Samar boys of that age were
equally as dangerous as their elders.
Capt. David d. Porter, Marine Corps,
and Lieut.. John H. A. Day, Marine
Corps, were the only two witnesses
examined. Their testimony developed
nothing new.
Maj. Littleton w. T. Waller, Marine
Corps, will be the only other witness
for the prosecution. He was unable
to be present to-day on account of
sickness, but 1t is expected will be in
attendance tomorrow.
The defense will call several Off

Athens, Ca, April 25.--Chancellor

words tonight that friend of the

had made a generous offer. He read
the following letter which he shad re-
ceived:
Hon. Walter b. Hill, Chancellor.
My Dear Sir. Believing that the state
of Georgia is heartily back of the uni
verSity, established a century ago, and
that the Legislature will be voicing
the sentiments of the people of the
state in voting at it's next session, the
sum of $4,000 towards it's efficient
maintenance, and advancement during
the succeeding years, beg to say that
shall be glad to be granted the priv
ilege of erecting suitable fire proof
library building for the use of the
students of the university, provided
such annual appropriation for the Leg
islature shall be voted. My thought is
especially to free more space in present
buildings for, and to further the higher
education of the fine Georgia sons and
daughters who ought not to have to
go North or East for the highest and
the best in education. My thought is
that suitable building should be
erected for a cost of $4,000 to $40 900,
and l shall limit the cost in any event
to $500 Very truly yours,

JAMES PAINE NOT GUILTY.

Acted in Self Defense in killing
Water Tender Aboard Cincinnati
at Charleston.
Washington, April 25.-The Navy De-
partment to-day received the findings
OF the court-martial headed by Rear
Admiral Cooper, which tried James A.
Paine, a blacksmith aboard the United
States steamship Cincinnati for the
killing of Agnes Williams, a water
tender on the same vessel while the
Cincinnati was lying off Charleston a
few weeks ago. The court found
Paine not guilty of the charge of man
slaughter, and he was acquitted. Evil
dence developed for Paine a splendid
reputation as to his general conduct
aboardship. 1t was proven to the sat-
isfaction of the court that Paine be-
lieved Williams to be preparing to
assault him with a razor and that
Paine, cornered as he was, had no
alternative than to strike out with
the only weapon at hand-his black
smith tongs. A sharp rivet on the end
of the tongs. it was shown, was the
cause of Williams death. Secretary
Long approved the findings of the
court.

Mr.. LIVINGSTON'S MEAT BILL.
He Thinks Congress Should Strike
the Combine at Disqualification Is
Too Slow.

Too Slow.
Washington, April 5.-Representa-
tive Livingston has not very great
ceedings instituted by the attorney
general, against the meat combine, and
his opinion in this respect is Endorsed
by good many other men in Con-
gress. While they do not go to the
extent of criticising the sincerity of
the attorney general, they believe that
the delay incident to all court proceed
ings will put off the decision to an al
most indefinite period. In line with
his belief that Congress should take
hold of the matter with vigor Col.
Livingston has introduced a bill pro-
viding for the repeal of the tariff du-
ties on live animals and on meat and
meat products. Two or three similar
bills were put in to-day, but Col. Liv-
ingston's seems to be the only one of
the lot worded in a way to command
the consideration of the Ways and
Means Committee. His bill specifies
the sections 4of~the Dingley act relat-
ing to these commodities, which he
would have repealed. These are the
sections which provide for tariff duties
on live cattle, and meats and meat
products, and include sheep, swine, tall
low, poultry and eggs.
my object in inserting a provision
to remove the duties from poultry and
eggs" said Colonel Livingston, lis to
meet just such conditions as we have
now, when the meat trust, in order to
enforce it's prices, secures control of
other food products as we'll as it's own.
The tallow provision, is of course, for
the purpose of striking at the COM
bination."
While Cononel Livingston does not
contend that the passage of his bill
would entirely cure the evil of enforced
high prices from which the people of
the country are suffering, he believes
it would contribute in some degree to
that end

Seats in Senate Bought and Sold,
Says Cochran of Missouri.
Washington. April 25.-In the House
day Mr.. Cochran of Missouri dis
cused the trust question. He
declared that corporation Hobbies
were Republican in Republican
states and Democratic in DEM
ocratic states, and that although
public sentiment demanded remedial
legislation it could not be obtained.
The trusts contributed to both political
parties and tied their hands.
Mr. Cochran took occasion to assail
the Senate in this connection. 1t was
a matter of public notoriety, he said,
that in some states senatorships were
bought and sold just as produce was
bought and sold in the public market.
Does anyone doubt" he asked, that
one state is now without senatorial
representation because a bargain cam
not be struck on the senatorship?"

together in an effort to secure an APP
preparation of 100000 for new public
building at Macon. The public build
ing bill, which will be passed by the
House next week, carries an appro-
priation of $65000 for additions to the
present building and this, together
with an unexpended balance secured
by a. former appropriation, will make
available a total of $125,000 for making
over the present building. It is be-
lieved that the supervising architect
will hold that 1t would be a better
business proposition to put up new
building at a cost of 100000. than to
expend nearly half that sum in max
ing over the present building, and

A NORTHERN BACKCAPPER.

Editor Lucas Of the Buffalo Bulletin
has studied our reservoir proposition
from the book and passed Judgment
upon it. He says it is %valueless and
the first money spent in Wyoming
should go to the northern part Of the
state.
Doubtless there are many good sites
in northern Wyoming which should re-
ceive the attention Of the government.
II there are such. the people Of this
section Of the state will not be found
decrying them, but will lend a helping
hand. Mr.. Lucas is old enough to
have learned the lesson that nothing
Is to be gained by condemning others,
particularly without a trial.
In his article he says the idea Of
obtaining water from the Platte is fill
our reservoir is merely groundless
speculation. How does he know?
Captain C%hitter3en caused barometric
observations n be taken by a compe
tent engineer and said the plan was
practicable. Against this testimony by
the captain We have the unsupported
statement by an editor in the extreme
northern portion OF the state that 1t Is
not practicable. He never saw the res
ervoir in his life and in fact has not
been in the state long enough to vote.
We refer to the man who wrote the ar
ticle in question. What we ask in this
part of the state Is that a thorough in
vestigation be made. and If the Lara
mic plains site bears out the estimate
made by Captain ~Chittenden. then 1t
should be established. Editor Lucas
is not fair enough in his article to even
give the figures when the Platte drain
age Is utilized, but confines himself to
the Laramie rivers. all the waters
from which have been appropriated.

ervoir business, if any preference at
all is shown land there should be

Wyoming and braved the h%ardships of

Meanwhile. the people OF the north.

that we will not attempt to build our,
selves I'D by pulling them down.
