TORNADO IN MISSOURI
Loss of Life and Property Re.
I ported From Points in That
State.
Fifty Houses Blown Down and
Two Persons Killed at
Joplin.
Reports From Kansas, Nebraska
and Oklahoma Show More or
Less Damage.

st. Louis, April 26.-Loss of life and
obstruction of property are reported
from many points in the Missouri val
ley as the result of severe windstorms
which have prevailed for the last TWEEN
| ty-four hours.
The most serious results so far re-
lated were at Joplin, Mo-, where at
least two persons were killed and sew
eral were injured. About fifty houses
most of them frame structures, We're
blown down, and the property loss
probably will exceed 100000.
The dead:
Esther Hunter, killed by falling tim
bers.
Martha Cope, colored, died from
fright.
Fatally injured:
Bidwill Hunter.
Mrs. Anna Hunter.
Mrs. Marian Hicks.
- Kruger, a boy at Villa Heights
three miles west Of Joplin.
f. B. Kelley, at the Googoo mines,
three miles west.
1t is feared that the small mining
camps at Central City and Cave
Springs, four miles west of Joplin, have
suffered much loss, as apparently they
were in the path of the storm.
Telephone and telegraph commune
cation was practically suspended for
several hours, wires being down in all
directions. AS soon as the wind had
subsised somewhat relief parties set
to work to rescue the injured and re-
cover the bodies of the dead.
Meager reports from Galena, Kas.,
and Webb City and Carterville, Mo-,
indicate great damage. Dwellings were
damaged and stores suffered heavy
damage from broken plate glass and
floods.
At Sedalia many trees We're blown
down, as We're the smokestacks of q
brewerey, an ice plant and the gas
works fell. Small houses We're shifted
from their foundations and unroofed
and much other damage was done.
At Omaha the storm was very severe.
One person was killed and several
others We're injured, a number of dwell
lings were unroofed and many skylights
were broken. There was a heavy down.
pour of rain. Street cars stopped for
an hour; wires and signs were blown
down in all directions.
The wind blew hurricane all day
over eastern Oklahoma, and the ther-
mometer dropped 20 degrees. A norther

NOT HIDING REET-sueAR FACTS
Secretary Wilson Answers Assertions
That Report Has Been Suppressed.


Washington, d. c., April 26.-Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson yesterday
characterized as ridiculous and absurd
the statements which have been indus
tricusly circulated to the effect that
the secretary had suppressed the an
nual beet-sugar report of the depart
ment Of agriculture for the current
year because the showing made by the
report was not favorable to the beet
sugar industry, and that its publication
at this time would be injurious to the
et-sugar interests In their fight in
congress over the Cuban reciprocity
bill.
Speaking of the statement that the
beet-sugar report for this year was
incomplete, Secretary Wilson said that
on the contrary, the report would be
by far the most complete ever issue
by the department.

cares and troubles. How different is the
happy mother, watching her children grow
into manhood and womanhood. A mother
lives as many lives as she has children
their joys and sorrows are hers, as are
their ambitions, triumphs and defeats.
So highly is the honor Of motherhood
cherished that sometimes noble women are
called upon to give their lives in its attain
ment. The women who suffer in child
birth and from the effects Of miscarriage
are the real martyrs. 1t takes more forth
tude to suffer in this way than to meet
a violent death in the rush and roar of q
battle. But such suffering is almost en-
tirely unnecessary at this age Of the world,
when Wine Of Cardui, the medicine that
cured Mrs. Unrath, Of Benton Harbor,
Mich, can be secured.
Healthy women do not suffer miscarriage
nor does a woman who is healthy suffer
fortunes at childbirth. It is the woman
who is ailing who has female weakness
who fears the ordeal Of becoming mother.
Wine of Cardui builds up the womanly in
the woman. 1t stops all unnatural drains
and strains-ir irregularities which are re-
sponsible for barrenness and miscarriage.

QUEER USE FOR HUMAN SKIN,
Mummies Ground by Machinery and Converted Into Paint for
 Artists COlors.

Not many persons are aware of the fact that the best brown paint used by artists is made from human bodies. The bones and skin, which are ground up by artists colormen and sold in tiny tubes, are those of mummies taken out of the Egyptian mausoleums.
 When person died in Egypt 8 cen- tury or two B. c. he was preserved in the finest bitumen. The remains of body treated thus in those times on being unwrapped to-day present an appearance similar to light colored leather. The bitumen and the leather-like remains are ground down by machinery and turned into beautiful brown liquid paint which is the delight of all artists. In the manufacture of artists colors, animal, vegetable and mineral substances are largely used, states the Detroit News-T Tribune. Crimson and purple lakes and carmine are all obtained from the cochinea1 insect Sepia is the dark fluid discharged by the cuttlefish to render the water opaque for it's own concealment when attacked by a larger fish.

eff women would but remember" remarked the photographic artist, ''that the gown when composed of more than one material should look like one garment worn over the .oth- CT, they would save themselves from some grievous artistic errors in dress. Take the case of the double sleeve now so popular: The idea is that of comparatively heavy outer sleeve, cut away to show the lighter and generally prettier arm covering, and woman with any artistic feeling always preserves that effect, even though she may not act on any definite principle.
 "But artistic feeling is rare thing: therefore, the double sleeve is the oc- casion of many artistic atrocities. One actually sees such sleeves cut in two at the elbow in order that the puff of silk may be inserted, thus leaving the lower half without any apparent con- nection with the shoulder, and nothing to prevent it, so far as the eye can see, from sliding off the arm. The sleeve may with perfect propriety be slashed at the elbow to show silk lining, but to cut it in two for the purpose of in Ferting another material is merely mak- ing patchwork of 1t. Another custom Is to put the material with which the sleeve terminates over, instead of un- der, the predominant material, thus destroying the idea of an undersleeve entirely, and leaving the construction without any show of reason for it's existence.

DETECTING DISEASE BY SMELL
Character of n Complaint Easily Rec- OgntERbIe to an Experienced
 Nurse or Doctor.

A physician has many different ways of discovering what is the matter with sick people. A flushed face and quick pulse tell of fever, even before the thermometer is applied to a pa- tient. Certain degrees of pallor sug- gest consumption. Malarial chills, If witnessed, tell their own story, but the victims complexion emphasizes it. There are the sounds to be dis covered when the ear is applied to the heart, in some disorders, while tapping the chest over 8 diseased lung will occasionally reveal 8 situa- ton, not otherwise discovered, in a few minutes. Besides these tests there are many which are chemical or meteorological, requiring much more time and expert knowledge. The list of methods might be extend ed by adding the judicious use of a trained and sensitive nose. Speaking of this possibility, The Hospital re- gently remarked: :
 ''It has long been recognized that both in health and disease character istic odors occur. The sense of smell has played an important part in the evolution. of man. Emanations from animals, calculations from plants, and even certain-substances of an inor- ganic character possess the property of exciting mans olfactory nerve endings. Physiological and patho- logical processes are accompanied in many instances by distinctive odors. There are odors peculiar to species, races, families, individuals and nor mai states. The growth of many mi cro-organisms give rise to easily rec ognized odors.
 "It must, however, be remembered that the power of detecting odors varies greatly with the animal, the race, the sex and the individual sen sitiveness. Savage races track game by the sense of smell. The Scriptures contain many references to this mat ter, and clearly indicate that certain races, tribes and individuals were supposed to possess 8 characteristic odor. In the study of disease it is we'll that the sense of smell should be cultivated. The old physicians were often assisted in their diag- noses by odors, and many an experi- enced nurse even now will recognize the character of complaint by the odor emanating from the patient. The clinical subect of the study is one which has been sadly neglected; but it remains rich in possibilities for the careful and judicious clin- iciau" >~
