deal of excitement prevails in the village
of Meadows, in Wythe county, as the
result of the fatal stabbing of one man
and the probable mortal wounding of an
other with pistol. Jacob Collins, Il e
town constable, arrested Frank Webb fer
carrying concealed weapons. Webb was
given hearing before Magistrate CIVIL
liam and sentenced TO term in the county
Jail at Wytheville. While on the way to
prison Webb broke away from Collins
and ran. The officer fred on the prisoner
and inflicted wounds which necessitated
the amputation of leg and other injuries
that may cause death. Later in the day
David Collins, a son of Officer Collins,
and Mack Webb, brother of Frank
Webb, got into an alteration over the
shooting of Frank Webb by the officer.
Webb drew large knife and stabbed
Collins twenty-three times in the breast
and shoulders. Collins cannot live.
Mack Webb made good his escape, and

TORNADO IN SOUTHERN Iowa. -
Southwestern Iowa was visited Saturday
night by the worst storm of the year.
In several towns it amounted to a tor
nado and fears are entertained that there
has been loss of life. The damage to
corn and unharyested small grain has
been very great. In some places the
rain which followed the wind storm,
amounted to almost TO a cloudburst. At
Whiting a dozen buildings were destroyed
and woman badly hurt, At Rock
well City the damage by wind was less
serious, but the rain fell in binding
sheets for an hour and the whole coun-
try is under water. Crops were beaten
to the ground and are a total loss in
many cases. At Oakland there was a
deluge of water, accompanied by a heavy
fall of hail, which did much damage A
of other places send in similar
reports of destructive storms. At An
thon, town of 1000 inhabitants, 90
were entirely demolished, and
il il feared.a loss of life has occurred.
The storm struck the town at Q O'Clock
and destroyed the electric lighting sys-

DOUBLE SUICIDE. While their son
and daughter were entertaining friends
at their home Saturday night Charles J.
Mccormick, Great Northern Railroad
conductor, and his wife were dying in a
bathtub upon the same floor at their
home in Grand Forks, N. ID. Their bodies
were found later by their son. Mr. and
Mrs. Mccormick had been driving in
the evening, and both appeared to be in
excellent health and spirits. Returning
home, they spoke to their son and
daughter. The party in the parlor
made, merry until late hour. When
the guests had left Hilby, the so aged
l3 years went call his parents, supposing
they had fallen asleep. He could get no
response, and, becoming alarmed sought
assistance. When the door to the bath
room was forced open Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Cormick were found dead. Their bodies
were in the bathtub. Near by stood
partly emptied bottled of beer and frag-
ments of lunch. A physician who was
called thought they had been dead two
hours. No satisfactory explanation of the
tragedy could be given, though the evil
dence points to poisoning.

OFFICIAL SECRETS
Coming Out In Clash Betwee n
GAINESVILLE Police and
Mayor.

GAINESVILLE, O., May 29.-At the last
meeting Of the city council an ordi-
nance introduced provided for the re-
duction of the present police
force from 81 to 16 members. 1t was
passed to a second reading. Two
weeks ago Chief of Police Tracy sub
mitted his annual report In which he
favored an increase Of the present
force by the addition of a half dozen
patrolmen, advancing as his reasons
the present rapid growth of the city,
the addition OF many new industries.
and several other things. Following
the reading of the chiefs report the
mayor, DR.. Holden, submitted a COM
munication In which he relieved Chief
Tracy of his position and named his
successor, all Of which was reported
to the police committee.
The city council took up this matter
and the committee reported the COM
munication back without any recon-.
mendation. The council thus protects
the chief against the mayor, but
spurns his recommendations. 1t is
evident that the police and mayoral-
ty scandal that has been brewing for
the past year will come to the surface
within the next two weeks-prior to
the next meeting Of council-as the
friends Of Chief Tracy and Mayor
Holden are warming up to the talking
temperature, and already many off,
cial secrets have become public prop
erty.

The resignation of r. w. Tayler as a
candidate for congress in the 18th dis
trict is thought by many to have
something beneath it more than what
has been given out. 1t has been known
for some time that great dissatisfac-
tion exists in the Republican organiza-
ton of Columbiana county. The man
ufacturing potters of East Liverpool,
Especially, have taken no interest in
Republican politics Of late.
!" The first indication of trouble was
the announcement that the Mckinley
influence in Columbiana county was
thrown TO Senator Foraker as against
Hanna. The intense feeling is further
evidenced by ]. II. Simms, of the Trib-
unc, an old time Republican paper,
announcing that the time had come
when 1t was necessary to elect some
Democrats. Nash's taxation scheme is
very unpopular with the manufactur-
ing interests of that locality. Tayler
may have seen the coming storm and
got out of what he believes a destruc-
tive political tempest.
Morgan, of Alliance, is sulkiug, and
would hardly allow his band to play
at the Republican convention which
nominated 1ayler. Last fall the DEM
ocrats elected the sheriff of Colunbi-
ana county, almost the first Office that
had been held by them for thirty years.
Something is going to break loose,
What it is, is for political prophets to
guess. 1t is said somewhat authori-
tatively that the cid time Republican
element" which has been sat upon OF
late years is to again enter the politi-
cal arena, not with olive branches but
with the bludgeons of party war, ask
ing and giving no quarter. Settlement
day is at hand, and the outcome may
be more serious and widespread thar
is anticipated.
The Democracy of the district is
gradually getting together. The kick
ing and backbiting characteristic of
the party in the past few years is being
wiped out and better judgment is gain
irg the ascendency.
Many Republicans today would
rather see the Democracy, controlled
by sound sense, in Office than the Re-
publican regime as it is at present con-
stituted.
Meantime the Democrats may with
good grace lay back and let the merry
war proceed.

OF the late presidents face, but the
experiments with that plate on the
rapid printing presses the government
uses in producing these cards were not
satisfactory, and it was found neces-
sary to make a new plate showing the
profile view.

Mr.. Tayler was asked II he could add

The attitude of the Stark county
judges upon granting divorces is to be
commended. 1t is doubtful if any coun-
ty in the state is better protected in
this regard than is Stark. This is IL
lustrated almost every day in the
courts The two principles laid down
recently by Judge Ambler-that per-
son whose physical condition is such
as to endarger posterity should not
be allowed to remarry, and that any
one asking divorce, no matter what
the provocation. must come into court
with clean hands-can safely be laid
down as good law aud good sense.
