From my fourteenth year had the
care Of family father during the day,
added to hard work at the factory, and
at night had to study how to overcome
the difficulties in the way; during this
period 1 lived on potatoes, bread and
coffee, and scant portions Of meat, and
toiled until late In the night; for TWEEN
ty-fve years struggled thus, until con-

for the encouragement Of young men
who have nothing, are nothing and

SWEPT BY A STORM.
ILLINOIS AND IOWA IN lorna.
DOS PATH.
Wind Takes Several Lives and Does
Great Property Damage-Blooming
toms Loss Is Large-Country Dis
tricts and Crops Suffer.

Illinois was swept by one of the fierc-
est storms in its history Tuesday night.
The destruction of property was wide
spread. Several lives We're lost The
whole State suffered, but the heaviest
damage was done in the central and
southern sections.
Bloomington, Peoria, Champaign, Ur-
bana and several other cities were in the
track of the storm and suffered heavily.
Bloomington seems to have been the
greatest sufferer. Damage estimated at
half million dollars was done there, and
at Merna, ten miles from Bloomington,
three young women We're killed and half
hundred hurt by the wrecking of 4
dance hall. The victims We're members
of party of 25O pleasure seekers that
were participants of a dance at the town
hall. The building collapsed and three
women We're crushed by falling timbers.
Dozens of others were caught in the de-
bris and wounded.
Three are reported dead in suburb
of Pekin. The entire east end of :he
village was swept away. Houses and
barns were blown down at Groveland,
MINER, Dillon, Hopedale and Delavan.
Opposite Pekin the river overtlowed its
banks and covered 10000 acres of corn
which is believed to have been ruined.
After a day of extreme heat the storm
broke upon Bloomington at IL o'clock.
Those who were awake took refuge in
cellars and vaults and many in the up
town flats were forced to the street by
the unroofing of their dwellings and the
inpouring of water. Half the plate glass
in the business section was smashed and
the interior of stores wrecked by wind
and water. The streets were completely
blocked by fallen trees and vehicles could
not move in any direction. All the lights
were put out and the town was in utter
darkness. Uncompleted buildings were
blown down all over the city. People
were panic stricken.
Destruction in Central Iowa.
The storm traversed a section of Iowa.
In Des Moines considerable damage was
done and at Burlington several boats
were sunk and many buildings unroof2d.
The storm struck the town of Jordan
a few miles east of Boone, and, although
it is reported that no lives were lost,
several of the principal buildings of the
place were destroyed. Oskaloosa reports
considerable damage from the wind. The
town of Laurel was reported wiped out.
Laurel is in Jefferson township, Mar
shall County, and has a population OF
about 100 people.
Burlington was visited by the storm.
No lives were lost, but buildings were
unroofed, and telegraph and telephone
wires were blown down. Much damage
to property resulted. Lightning struck
in several places. The steamer Comet
broke in half and sunk. Rob Roy, a
pleasure craft, was badly damaged, and
washed ashore Barges and boat houses
were filled with water or blown high and
dry on the bank There are many re-
ports of damage in the surrounding coun-
try.

WILL MINE ICE.
A Company in Arizona to Prosecute
a Queer Industry.

A Company in Arizona to- Prosecute
Queer Industry.
- Elaborate plans are being laid to put
into operation near Flagstaff, Ariz., the
most unique industry in the world. 1t
lie the ice caves which are found in
abundance thereabouts. In these are al
most inexhaustible quantities of the cool
ing product and it is the belief of the
parties engaged in the enterprise that
the stuff can be marketed at prices which
will create a great demand for it. E. K.
Dutton, a young man from New York,
is at the head of the enterprise. 1t is
the purpose of himself and his compan-
ions to supply not only scores of small
stations, towns and lumber camps in the
vicinity, but to provide a supply for the
railroads of northern Arizona and New
Mexico, even into California, as in the
vast regions of what was once the north
ern part of the great American desert ice
factories have not yet been introduced.
Dutton made his way into the best
known of these caves last summer. 1t is
at the head of Clark's valley, seventeen
miles southwest of Flagstaff. The cold
in this cavern is intense-not less than
60 degrees drop in temperature being en-
countered in the course of perhaps TWEEN
ty minutes after one enters the cave.
Tons upon tons of ice are stored here.
Leading from this are passages into 9th
err caves, which are almost solidly walled
with ice.

NEW POSTAL CURRENCY.
01lA Authorizing the Issuance of Post
Checks for Small Sums,

Checks for Small Sums.
An administration bill for the estab-
lshment of a postal currency has been
drafted by the committee appointed to
consider the question. 1t authorizes the
postmaster General to cause to be issued
postal checks of fixed denominations, not
above 81, in even multiples of FIVE and
ten cents. These are to be redeemabAe
or payable at any money order postoffice.
A fee in addition to the face value will
be charged for every check issued.
1t is generally conceded that the pres
ent postal money order system is both
inadequate and inconvenient, and Con
gress has been attempting to perfect de-
sign for currency intended especially for
transmission through the mails. Partic-
ularly since the adoption of rural mail
delivery has the need been felt of some
plan for sending small sums of money by
mail without necessitating a special jour
ney to the postofice on the part Of the
sender.
The committee on postoffices and post
roads have had before them a measure
providing q post check in denominations
Of S. and down to the denominations of
fractional currency. It was proposed to
retire the five, two and one dollar bills
now issued by the government and sub
stitute the post check and make the lat
ter the regular paper money for those
denominations.
The proposed post check was nothing
more than an ordinary government note
so printed as to permit its transforma-
ton quickly into yeritable check. by
affiyi0p q ctamn md WRITING 1non Oro-
vided spaces the name and address of the
payee this note would become a money
order, payable only to the payee. TO
forge the signature of the payee was
made a penitentiary offense, same as
counterfeiting. AS rapidly as the signed
bills would come into the possession of
postmasters they were to be sent to
Washington for redemption.
By this process, should one desire to
make remittance by mail he would sim
ply take out a bill or piece of fractional
currency, write the name Of his creditor,
atfix and cancel a stamp and it would
only require the signature of the latter
to again make the money as good as gold
at the Office named.
The committee Of postal and treasury
experts appointed to consider the above
plan for the establishment Of postal
currency, however, submitted an adverse
report to the Postmaster General. While
commencing the general scheme, the re-
port said the methods of detail seemed
impracticable. The bill since framed is
supposed to be free from the objections
advanced and it is said the measure is
likely to be favorably considered by Con-
prpSS

A "BUMPER" GRAIN CROP.

Largest Yield in Many Years Is Looked
For in the Northwest.
A bumper" grain crop for the four
great States of the Northwest which are
traversed by the lines of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad is the
prophecy of A. J. Earring, president Of
the company Mr.. Earring, together with
several Of the executive officials Of the
company, recently completed an inspec-
ton tour of the entire st. Paul system.
The trip was taken largely with view
Of ascertaining the crop conditions, and
the president and his party have return
ed to Chicago enthusiastic over the pros
poets.
"Neyer before in my connection with
the St. Paul road" said Mr.. Earring.
shave l seen the Northwest SO big with
promise of abundant grain crops. speak,
of course, for those portions Of the
States Of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa
and South Dakota which are traversed
by our lines, and 1 understand that a
similar condition prevails over the en-
tire Northwest. In South Dakota the
acreage is somewhat larger than in for
mer years, while in the other States it is
about the same. Unless something I'M
foreseen happens between now and har-
vest time, believe crop records will be
broken in the territory which l have
named"
Based upon the present crop conditions,
the st. Paul officials are looking forward
to a material increase in the earnings of
the company, and are correspondingly
we'll pleased. Everywhere over the sys-
TEN, it was stated, the farmers are in
good humor, and are talking of big crops
and increased prosperity.

MAKING A BILLIARD BALL
Much Care and Time Are Expended in
Perfecting the Sphere.

Much Care and Time Are Expended in
Perfecting the Sphere.
Few people realize the fact that It
takes nearly year to make a billiard
ball ut for use by those who indulge
In the "gentleman's game" Infinite
pains have to be expended on this i'm
portant part Of the equipment that con-
tributes to their enjoyment.
Billiard balls are made from ele-
plants tusks, and only the small tusks,
from four to.six inches In their thtckest
diameter, will do, for these furnish the
best ivory. The price Of this ivory has
greatly increased Of late and the de-
mand Is far in excess OF the supply.
The stringency In the market has in.
duced prominent billiard company to
offer $4,000 for a perfect substitute for
ivory.
The elephants tusks come from the
factories cut up in sections, each hav-
ing been cut just large enough to allow
Of the turning Of a single ball Only
skilled labor is employed to work upon
1t. The exact center Of the piece must
first be discovered by measurement It
Is then placed in a socket and one-half
Of the ball is turned by a sharp-edged
steel instrument. The ivory is then
hung up In net for time. Later the
second half Is turned and the ball again
hung up as before in a room where the
temperature is from 60 to 20 degrees.
The ball must be kept thus suspended
for about year. when It Is rubbed and
polished to as near certain weight as
possible, and to a diameter Of two and
three-e ighths inches. Even with the
greatest care it Is impossible to make
two balls Of exactly the same weight
The life Of a billiard ball after it IS
placed in use is an uncertain quantity.
If the room in which it is kept Is too hot
the pores Of the ivory may close and
q crack ensues. Then 1t has to be re-
turned to the factory, where 1t IS
shaved off, and consequently reduced
in size. A second-rate billiard-room
gets it next. By and by it develops an
other crack, and again goes back to the
factory, where this time 1t is probably
fixed up for a cue ball in pool. When it
mas reached it's last limit Of usefulness
as ball it is bought by dealers in bone
and ivory and turned into buttons.

COL. ARTHUR LYNCH ARRESTED.
Ex-B oer officer Made Prisoner Upon
His Landing in England.


Col. Arthur Lynch, who fought with
the Beers in South Africa and who in
November last was elected to represent
Galway in tn House of Commons, was
arrested Wednesday morning on his ar
rival in England from Dieppe, France.
Col. Lynch, who was accompanied by
his wife, was taken to London and was
afterward taken to the Bow street police
station. Subsequently Col. Lynch was
arraigned at the Bow street police court
on the charge of high treason and was
remanded after formal evidence of his
arrest had been presented.
Col. Lynch announced in Paris that
he would return to Englad and take bis
seat in Parliament He believed that
the conclusion of the Boer war and the
liberal amnesty terms granted the burgh-
ars would insure his pardon and immunity
from arrest. He was warned, however
that British detectives were watching
to arrest him as soon as he set foot on
English soil.

''The States of the lower Missouri val
