Thirty years ago General Palma, the first
President of the Republic of Cuba fled from
that island as prescribed revolutionist,
and his return to be inaugurated as the
first President of the Republic is dra-
matte circumstance without parallel in
history. 1t is evident that the Cubans
themselves are awake to the picturesque
character of the episode, for one day last
month was set apart for general mourning
throughout the island, out of respect to the
memory of the new Presidents mother.
Her remains were disinterred from the
grave where they were secretly buried
thirty-four years ago, and inferred again at
Cauto; and over the new grave the people
of the town have erected a monument, the
inscription on which is both fine tribute
to a mother and striking example of the
poetic feeling of southern people. 1t
reads as follows -
Chandelier Palma fell here, tired and
sick, while following her son, who was
fighting for the liberty of his country
'sFor thirty years you have slept. The
people of Cauto have come to awaken you,
and to say your son has come, his head
bound with laurels as a reward for his
virtues, to take away your precious re-
mains. Arise your country is free and III
the hands of your son ~

Read it in His Newspaper.

George Schaub, well known German
citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is a constant
reader of the Dayton Volksseitang. He
knows that this paper aims to advertise
only the best in its columns, and when he
saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised
therein for lame back, he did not hesitate
in buying a bottle of it for his wife, who for
eight weeks had suffered with the most
relief. He says "After using the Pain
BALM for few days my wife said to me, I
feel as though born anew, and before using
the entire contents of the bottle the I'M
bearable pains had entirely vanished and
she could again take up her household
duties.n He is very thankful and hopes
that all suffering likewise will hear of her
wonderful recovery. This valuable lini-
ment is for sale by A. S. Marshall, Wood

MORE THAN A DOZEN LIVES LOST

At Merna the Town Hall was De.

Held and Three Were kiIIed-Prop.
erty Loss Will Amount to Millions.
Bloomington, ILL.,, June 12.-Stretch-
ing across pathway 100 miles in
width and devastating a territory fully
200 miles long, extending from Living
stone county on the north to McCoup
county in the south, leaving it's mark
clear across the face of Central Illi-
nois, a cyclone Tuesday night inflicted
property loss which will aggregate
millions of dollars and cost a dozen
lives. The wind reached velocity of
100 miles an hour, and in it's track
were left destruction and death. The
visitation was the worst ever recorded
in the history of Central Illinois. Net
a village or city of Mclean county es-
capped, and from every district comes
the same report of destroyed buildings,
injury to growing crops and RACED
fruit and shade trees. The aggregate
VI 1889 LII 4iNALOdl tOuDlJs dOt AAASldNAAAt3
three lives at Merna, or thousands upon
thousands of levelled shade and fruit
trees, by rough estimate. will be be-
tween 100000 and $400,0 600.
The heaviest loss in proportion to
the population fell upon Merna where
the town hall used by party of $50
for dance, was destroyed, three of
the women dancers being instantly
killed by falling timbers. When the
storm struck the building its swaying
alarmed the party of merrymakers. All
made rush for the exits and fierce
struggle ensued. Three women were
left behind and were killed instantly
by falling timbers. Mrs. Edward Mar
tin and her sister, Miss Lena Gahagan,
were found locked in each others
arms. Fully so others were injured,
several fatally.
The loss through the destruction of
fruit trees will reach large proper
lions, many orchards being entirely
levelled. The cherry crop, which is
now ready for picking, will be saved
partially, but with apples and other
fruits the loss is total. Farmers, with
scarcely an exception, lost stock, barns
or windmills. Numerous buildings
were moved from their foundations or
wrecked. Many brickyards at the edge
of the city were destroyed, the long
rows of sheds offering easy marks for
the wind. This is the height of the
brick-making season, and the loss to
this industry will be serious.

In the closing hours of the Philippine
debate some Senators intimated that the
history of warfare records no military
order of the same kind of atrocity as the
burning and killing order of General Jacob
Smith. This is slight mistake. Gibbon

Europe about thousand years ago Gre
sistsnce was disarmed by the menace, the
severe and effective menace, of dragging
the women and Children into captivity and
Of Strengthening the males above the age Of
