BOY WASHED INTO A SEWER

II ALTIMORE, July 21.-The tornado
X which struck Baltimore yesterday
afternoon. involving the loss of
twelve lives and widespread destruc-
ton of property, was the severest that
has been known in this latitude for
seventeen years. No storm had been
forecasted.
Almost without a moments warning
an Irresistible wind, apparently in the
nature of a whiriwind, came up from
the southwest, and in an instant the
waters of the harbor were converted
into a seething cauldron; frail boats
were capsized while the staunchest
vessels at anchor were violently
rocked.
a careful estimate today shows that
200 houses We're unroofed during the
storm. The roof of the William street
Independent Methodist church was
lifted high in the air and blown over
the roofs of other houses a distance Of
$50 feet.
The stone spire of the Holy Cross
Catholic church was hurled to the
ground. A part of the roof of Trinity
Protestant Episcopal church was torn
off, while the historic steeple of st.
Marys Star of the Sea Catholic church
was destroyed completely.
The public squares and parks were
damaged badly. Patterson park is
scene of desolation- The whole extent
of these pleasure grounds is strewn
with broken branches and uprooted
trees, and the debris completely chokes
up the driVeWays.
Many handsome trees in Franklin
square and Druid Hill park, as well as
the shade trees, were uprooted bodily,
falling across thoroughfares and tenn
porarily blocking them. Much damage
was done to house fronts in all sec
lions Of the city by the falling trees.
In the business section numerous
plate glass windows were blown in,
while telegraph and telephone service
WAS criDpled.

giving the condition of asrieuI-
ture in the United States for the year

and improvements other than build
ings.
The value of farm implements and
machinery was $761 ,261 $50, and of live
stock 307S, 05O,04I. These values, added
to the value of the farms. gives total

A chapter of the bulletin is devoted
to irrigation, and the following extract
c11F7 1y-s.ze he tot
"A comparison of the number of irri-
gators and of the number of acres irri-
gated at the beginning and end of the
decade of 1SS9-1S99 shows that these
have approximately doubled.
1.-The number of irrigators in the arid
states and territories increased from
s., 5S4 to 102, $40 or 90 per cent, and the
number of acres irrigated increased
from 3,S64,415 to 1888, 273, or 103 per
cent.
The percentage of increase in the
number of acres irrigated is somewhat
larger than that in the number of irri-
gators. and occurs principally in what
may be termed the newer states-Ida-
no, Montana, Utah and Wyoming
This increase is explained by the
irrigation within recent years of large
areas on ranches, in forage crops and
pasture.
"In California and Colorado the re-
verse eondition-is noticeable. The in
crease both in number of irrigators
and in area. irrigated has been proper
tionately less than in the newer states,
showing a decrease in ratio of growth,
due to the more complete development
and utilization of available water sup
ply
In these states the acreage irrigated
has increased respectively A and so
per cent, taking both states to-
gether, 81 per cent. while the number
OF irrigators has increased IS and 50
per cent respectively, or, together, 81
per cent.
Thus the number of irrigators is
increasing more rapidly than the area
brought under cultivation, showing a
more marked tendency toward the sub
division of large irrigated tracts and
the cutting up of these into smaller
homesteads, Anainly devoted to fruit
raising"

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women, old and young, rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady.

 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch ing, protruding or bleeding. It is also safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment is a pleasant, harmless and abso- luteiy sure remedy for all itch ing diseases of the skin.
